After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

Upon seeing Lin Fengmian enter, a joyful smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly stood up:

"Fengmian! Why are you back?"

Lin Fengmian walked forward with a smile:

"Second Uncle, I came back to see if there's anything the Lin family can do to help me."

Lin Yuanshan patted him on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction:

"Good child, your kindness is enough for your second uncle. Just focus on your cultivation, your second uncle will take care of the Lin family's affairs."

Lin Fengmian nodded, then, remembering something, asked:

"By the way, Second Uncle, did you rent the shop I asked you to help me with last time?"

Lin Yuanshan said:

"I rented two adjacent shops in the best location in the city. I was just about to ask you what kind of business you plan to do?"

Lin Fengmian smiled slightly:

"Open a talisman shop."

"A talisman?" Lin Yuanshan was taken aback, then looked troubled.

"Fengmian, a talisman shop isn't out of the question; the daily expenses in Immortal City are indeed quite high. But..."

He paused, then sighed:

"We don't have any elders in our family who are skilled in talismans. If we want to open a shop, we'll probably have to hire a talisman master as a retainer. That would be quite expensive..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian smiled and shook his head.

"Second Uncle, why bother hiring a talisman master?"

Having said that, under Lin Yuanshan's astonished gaze, he reached into his storage bag—

The next moment, whoosh!

A pile of talismans flew out like snowflakes, piling up into a small mountain on the table in front of them!

Lin Yuanshan's pupils suddenly contracted!

With trembling hands, he picked up the top sheet and examined it closely—

Tier 1, Mid-grade: Explosive Flame Talisman!

He picked up another one—

First-tier superior grade, Swiftness Talisman!

One more—

First-grade superior quality, Vajra Talisman!

He suddenly looked up, staring at Lin Fengmian in disbelief:

"This...this...Feng Mian, you drew all of these yourself?!"

Lin Fengmian nodded with a smile:

"Yes, Second Uncle, this is a drawing I did in my spare time. The quality is not bad."

Lin Yuanshan stared at him blankly.

"Good! Good!" He patted Lin Fengmian's shoulder forcefully, his voice choked with emotion.

"I never imagined that my Lin family would produce a talisman master!"

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could he not know the difficulty of the talisman path?

That's one of the top four arts among the hundred arts of cultivating immortality!

Getting started is difficult, but mastering it is even more difficult!

And how old is his nephew? He can already draw high-grade talismans!

Seeing his excitement, Lin Fengmian felt a warmth in his heart.

He said softly:

"Second Uncle, take these talismans and test the waters first. If they sell well, I'll make more."

Although Lin Fengmian was quite confident in his talismans, he didn't know what was going on in the Immortal City.

Lin Fengmian was also afraid that even good wine might not be enough to attract customers from a hidden alley.

Lin Yuanshan nodded repeatedly:

"Alright, alright! Second Uncle will take care of it right away!"

...

at the same time.

Within the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

Ye Fan sent countless divine sense messages to Chu Qingyi's jade tube.

But the other party never replied.

In a fit of anger, he trembled with rage!

"That bitch!"

Ye Fan's face was ashen, and his eyes surged with murderous intent.

"If I didn't need her primordial yin energy, I would have tied her up and forced myself on her long ago!"

Damn it, it's all because of that Lin Fengmian!

Ye Fan slammed his fist into the stone wall, blood seeping from his knuckles, but he seemed oblivious.

The five Foundation Establishment cultivators I sent from the Holy Land last time—

All news has vanished!

He had learned beforehand that Nangong Li was not protected by any family cultivators that day!

Logically speaking, the other party should have already been killed!

Those are five Foundation Establishment cultivators! He even entrusted his treasured talisman to his trusted confidant!

And what happened? Not only did the other party live a good life, but I was severely reprimanded by the Holy Land Elder for losing manpower and treasures, and was confined to my quarters for a full half month!

"hateful--!"

Ye Fan slammed his fist into the stone wall again.

The stone wall was cracked, and the pain in his fist made him gasp.

Just then, a streak of light flew in from outside the window and landed in front of him.

It is a sound transmission jade tube.

Ye Fan was taken aback, then quickly grabbed it and probed it with his divine sense.

The next moment, his eyes burst forth with a light of wild joy!

"Lin Fengmian will be participating in the secret realm!"

Ye Fan suddenly stood up, the gloom on his face vanished, replaced by an uncontrollable, sinister smile.

"Great! Great! This is truly a stroke of luck!"

He was afraid that the kid would stay hidden in the Hehuan Sect and be a coward for the rest of his life!

The secret realm is a world unto itself, heavily fortified, where life and death are determined by fate!

If Lin Fengmian were killed inside, who would know? And who could protect him?!

Then, won't that bitch Chu Qingyi still have to obediently come and lick my boots?

Hahahaha!

Ye Fan burst into laughter, the sound echoing through the empty hall.

He immediately prepared to go out and contact the disciples of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land who had entered the secret realm.

Using his status as the Holy Son, he could use coercion and enticement to get those people to comply.

Just as he was about to set off, Ye Fan suddenly stopped.

He remembered something.

Some time ago, he overheard his master talking to someone—

It seems that Master Xia Qingcheng is also about to enter this secret realm!

Thinking of his master, Ye Fan felt a surge of passion in his heart.

Xia Qingcheng...

That face, that figure, that aloof and otherworldly air...

She's absolutely gorgeous! So fucking hot!

Every time Ye Fan went to see her, he had to desperately restrain himself to avoid losing his composure on the spot.

He had fantasized countless times about what he could do if he could find something on his master and threaten her into doing things with him...

So what if he's a Golden Core cultivator? When you're pinning him down, he still has to scream, doesn't he?

Unfortunately, this idea can only remain a thought.

But this time—

A glint of light flashed in Ye Fan's eyes.

Although I don't know how my master, with his Golden Core stage cultivation, entered the secret realm,

But as long as you can get in, that's an opportunity!

If I were to casually mention it to her, my master could conveniently get rid of Lin Fengmian for me...

Wouldn't that kill two birds with one stone?

Thinking of this, Ye Fan revealed a determined smile and turned to walk towards the cold palace on the mountaintop.

……

Hehuan Sect.

Today, a huge flying boat is moored at the mountain gate.

The boat, about a hundred feet long, was bathed in a pale golden light, with a magnificent three-story pavilion standing tall.

The ship's hull was covered with densely packed defensive markings.

As the spiritual energy flowed, the faint sounds of wind and thunder could be heard.

This is one of the few large flying boats owned by the Hehuan Sect, and it is usually only used to escort a large number of disciples out for trials.

The daily maintenance alone consumes thousands of spirit stones.

At this moment, a crowd had gathered in front of the airship.

These are the disciples who represented the Hehuan Sect in this trip to the secret realm.

Some people were talking in hushed tones, some were resting with their eyes closed, and others were nervously checking their storage bags.

Just then, a purple sword light streaked across the sky.

The sword light settled, revealing a woman in purple.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a slender figure and captivating eyes that exuded charm yet also carried a hint of aloofness.
