I cultivate the Purple Mansion Golden Elixir Dao on Earth

"Did you figure it out?"

After hearing Jiang Yirong's words, the two girls fell silent for a moment.

After exchanging glances, Xu Xiu finally answered her question.

"If you're asking me what I've figured out, I can't really say..."

"...Aunt Jiang, just like what I reported to the country, the cultivation method I practice, 'Bingxuan Fengsheng Kouzhenjing,' how should I put it... it's a method that aims to refine oneself into something like Tang Sanzang's flesh, specifically for helping others."

Jiang Yirong smiled and nodded. Of course she knew about it.

Ever since the two girls emerged from the white mist, everything about them has become top-secret information, second only to Lin Yu in terms of confidentiality, in the series of related matters concerning the "spiritual energy revival" of Baiyang Temple, the "May 22 Incident," and the "Back Chamber" spiritual site.

The name and nature of the cultivation technique practiced by the two girls were directly reported by Jiang Yirong and became a briefing placed in the most conspicuous place on "Three Heads and Six Arms"'s desk.

Furthermore... Jiang Yirong also firmly remembered the profound mysteries of the respective cultivation techniques that the two girls had shown her.

Although these two girls may not yet have completely detached themselves from their former student identity.

But as far as Jiang Yirong knows, their current position in the national strategy...

It is by no means inferior to the legendary cold fusion technology!

Therefore, looking at the two "small cold fusion reactors" behind her, Jiang Yirong put on a gentle smile, the same one she had been determined to present to them whenever she learned all the information, and listened attentively to Xu Xiu's words.

"...Yes, just like how I acted after I came out of the white mist... At that time, I circulated the 'Bingxuan Fengsheng Kouzhenjing' to heal Fang Yuan's injuries and also helped her cleanse her body a little."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yirong couldn't help but nod again.

This is what I saw on the spot, not a verbal report.

But the shock it brought her was second only to the scene when Lin Yu stepped onto the ground and said, "I forgive this sin!"

When the white mist appeared, Chen Fangyuan was in a terrible state, yet she still harbored intense hostility towards Shang Yin and was determined to bring her to justice.

Upon learning of this, the senior executives, including Jiang Yirong, were caught in a dilemma.

After all... as a precedent for cultivators, Shangyin's value is not on the same level as hers!

To put it bluntly, even if Shang Yin really killed her in that "back room," Jiang Yirong and the others would still have to cover for her after she came out!

However, Chen Fangyuan had already spread the news far and wide, reaching the ears of many teachers and students, so it was no longer something that could be resolved by simply extinguishing a small spark.

In the end... it was Xu Xiu who stepped forward.

She used her internal energy to cut open her own palm.

Then, the blood in Xu Xiu's palm turned into drops of golden jade beads, which fell onto Chen Fangyuan's body, not only making all the wounds on her body disappear, but also causing a miraculous change in her physique.

Chen Fangyuan was originally a girl who weighed 160 pounds and was 160 centimeters tall, and was usually called "Tank" by people... But thanks to Xu Xiu's blood donation, her weight dropped by 50 pounds... while her height increased by 5 centimeters!

Even her skin and aura became incredibly radiant, making her look like a completely different person; her appearance score nearly jumped from 30 to 90!

Only in Chen Fangyuan's facial features can one still vaguely see traces of her former appearance...

After receiving Xu Xiu's gift, and with the subtle hints from Jiang Yirong and others, Chen Fangyuan started to giggle and finally stopped dwelling on the matter.

However, for Jiang Yirong and others...

Chen Fangyuan's life or death is insignificant.

What's important is the power that Xu Xiu demonstrated!

Although it's unknown what kind of shock that scene caused to those bigwigs after it was uploaded...

However, as far as Jiang Yirong knew, twenty minutes after the video was uploaded, she received another call from Prefect Yu, who demanded that Minjiang destroy all video materials related to this scene and told her that if there was still an opportunity after bringing the two "successors of the Daoist lineage" to Baiyang Temple, she should invite them to Jingzhou for a chat.

and……

Based on the hints and veiled meanings in Yu Fu Shou's words...

Xu Xiu is a level above Shang Yin in importance; bringing her along would be a great achievement!

Jiang Yirong was naturally well aware of the secret behind this.

"so……"

Xu Xiu said slowly.

"Because the purpose of my cultivation method is this... I can vaguely sense the deficiencies and inadequacies in the existence of humans and other species, and then I can make up for them."

"It's actually a bit like the legendary story of Buddha cutting off his own flesh to feed an eagle."

"Although doing this will temporarily damage my qi and blood and weaken my body... sacrificing myself to nourish others aligns with the essence of this technique and will allow me to advance in my cultivation."

"but……"

Xu Xiu hesitated for a moment after saying this.

"...But in my perception, this Taoist temple is perfect in every way, yet it also seems to be lacking in every aspect, so I can't feel anything that could make up for it... It's almost as if it doesn't exist! But it also exudes an extremely strong pressure, making it hard for me to breathe!"

These words left Jiang Yirong completely bewildered.

She had never entered the Daoist path and could not understand the feelings Xu Xiu had when she said those words.

But Shangyin, who was standing next to her, sighed softly.

"It's so cold."

"cold?"

Jiang Yirong glanced at the sunlight with surprise.

But at that moment, the tightly closed temple gate in front of them silently opened to the outside.

In an instant, not only Jiang Yirong, but also the two girls behind her held their breath at the same time.

But what came out from within was a calm voice:

"Please come in."

The three of them stood stiffly, like envoys going to pay homage to the emperor, and walked into the Taoist temple with trepidation.

However, what appeared inside the Taoist temple was not some wondrous scene with flying flowers and glazed tiles covering the ground.

What they saw was merely a courtyard of moderate size.

There wasn't a single tree in the courtyard, only an empty bluestone paved ground, a stone table, and a few stone benches.

And sitting on that stone bench was a man.

"Sect Leader Lin."

Jiang Yirong revealed a polite smile, an expression she had prepared for several days.

But a voice behind her was faster than her.

The girl, who was originally as dark and gloomy as a black hole, now showed a bright smile, even more sunny, more lively, and more adorable than Xu Xiu.

Shang Yin rushed towards the middle-aged man in a few steps. As she spoke, the girl with pigtails knelt down before Lin Yu.

"...You...are you the immortal who taught us this technique?! May I call you Teacher Lin?"

Xu Xiu helplessly tapped her forehead.

Jiang Yirong opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

There were only a few hours left before deciding to bring the two girls who had received the Taoist ordination to the Baiyang Temple.

Such a short time was not enough for her to figure out the personalities of the two girls.

Therefore, in her preconceived notions, the temperaments of the two girls, Shang and Xu, were exactly the same as the cultivation methods they practiced.

Shangyin, this girl, should be the kind of character who is rather withdrawn and gloomy.

But at this moment... why is her waist so supple?

"Shangyin, you—"

Just as Xu Xiu was about to speak, Lin Yu's words rang out softly, reaching their ears:

"There's no need for such formalities. As you practice your cultivation techniques, neither your past nor your current thoughts are any secret to me."

These words sent a chill down Shang Yin and Xu Xiu's spines.

At that moment, Lin Yu turned her gaze to Jiang Yirong.

"Director Jiang, it seems the situation has changed somewhat in the past two days."

"The authorities have been very thorough in their investigation of me these past two days, gathering such detailed information."

He had a half-smile on his face.

Jiang Yirong felt as if a chilling wind from a towering mountain was quietly blowing across her neck.
