After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

Master Qingming sighed deeply, his face full of the melancholy of a hero past his prime. After hesitating for a long time, he reluctantly handed over the forbidden area token.

He repeatedly instructed him not to lose face in front of that old woman.

Lin Qingyu silently accepted the token and obediently agreed, but her lips twitched almost imperceptibly.

Old Deng, where is your dignity now?

He'd already lost everything back then with the Sword Manual; a dignified Golden Core cultivator had been publicly humiliated, making a complete fool of himself...

Tsk~

After bidding farewell to Master Qingming, Lin Qingyu traveled swiftly towards the mountain range behind the nine main peaks.

About half an hour later, a majestic mountain peak appeared at the end of the forest. Clouds and mist swirled around the mountainside like a light veil, making the entire mountain peak look like a fairyland.

Lin Qingyu obediently lowered herself down to the foot of the mountain.

Last time during the simulation, she charged around recklessly. If she hadn't been discovered by the elders guarding the mountain, she probably would have been wiped out by the formation. Thinking about it now, I still feel a little scared.

After composing herself, Lin Qingyu took out the token and bowed gracefully towards the foot of the mountain.

"Disciple Lin Qingyu has come to pay respects to Ancestor Lingxiu on the orders of his master, True Man Qingming."

About half a cup of tea later, an old figure slowly descended from mid-air, raised his hand and gently waved, and the token landed steadily in his palm.

Then, a wisp of power overflowed from the old man's fingertips and quietly seeped into the token.

The golden light flashed and disappeared in an instant. He nodded slightly, tossed the token back to Lin Qingyu, and said calmly:

Do not resist.

A surge of powerful spiritual energy suddenly enveloped Lin Qingyu, blurring her vision. When she regained her senses, she was already standing steadily in front of that familiar statue.

"Wait here quietly. There are countless killing formations in the mountains. Do not move rashly."

The old man's figure had disappeared, leaving only a warning in an extremely serious tone.

Nascent Soul!

After feeling envious, Lin Qingyu slowly walked up to the stone statue and examined it.

The stone statue was carved from some kind of unknown jade and emanated a hazy spiritual light. However, the person carved was not the Spirit Immortal, but a handsome young man.

He stood tall and straight, his right hand holding a sword, pointing diagonally at the ground, his robes fluttering slightly in the wind, resembling a chivalrous swordsman of the martial world.

"Tsk~ He's quite handsome."

Lin Qingyu stroked her chin, offering her comments with considerable leisure and elegance.

Before the words were finished, the aura surrounding the stone statue suddenly froze, then dispersed to both sides as if an invisible hand had parted the bed curtains.

A simply dressed woman slowly walked out from the halo of light, with no spiritual pressure emanating from her body, just like an ordinary woman waiting to be married.

Her features remained as gentle as when we first met, but her tone betrayed a hint of impatience as soon as she spoke:

"What business do you have with me?"

"Forehead..."

Lin Qingyu's smile froze for a moment, and her eyes reddened the next second.

"Ancestor, I am suffering..."

"Stop!"

Lingxiu raised her hand to interrupt the spellcasting. After scanning the girl with her gaze, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little.

"Foundation Establishment?"

"Mmm-hmm!"

Lin Qingyu, a chick pecking at rice.

"Very well, speak your mind. As long as your request isn't too outrageous, I can grant it."

It turned out that the other party had already seen through her, and she stopped being coy, since that was exactly what her ancestor had used at that moment.

"This disciple wishes to go to Chanming Prefecture, but when I went out recently, I always felt like I was being followed..."

Upon hearing this, Lingxiu raised an eyebrow.

"You have this ability?"

Seeing that the girl stammered and couldn't say anything for a long time, she didn't make things difficult for her. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"The person who is following you should be from the same faction as the person who placed the spiritual mark on you; both are from the Wuxiang Tower."

"I will not ask what business you have in going to Chanming Prefecture."

Before Lin Qingyu could ask, Lingxiu waved her hand and said:

"But there are some things that are not suitable for you to know too much at your current level of cultivation. You just need to remember that the sect will always be on your side."

Although it was unclear why the dialogue deviated from the simulation, it was clearly not the time to delve into it now. Lin Qingyu's face was serious.

"Rest assured, Ancestor, this disciple will never betray the sect!"

"I hope so."

Lingxiu neither agreed nor disagreed, then said listlessly:

"When do you plan to depart?"

Hearing this, Lin Qingyu felt a slight sense of relief.

She came to pay her respects ahead of time because she was worried that the patriarch would be too busy, so she made sure to inform him in advance.

Nascent Soul cultivators are not tools to be commanded at will. The timeline is also different from the simulation. Lin Qingyu needs to consider things more thoroughly. Things cannot be done as impulsively as in the simulation.

Fortunately, the ancestor did not take her away directly as in the simulation, which saved Lin Qingyu some trouble, since she still had things to finish.

"Ancestor, shall I return in a month?"

"Yes, you may leave."

...

Three days later, it was another starry night.

Deep within the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range.

This time, Lin Qingyu did not become the team leader, but instead transformed into an elder who patrolled and provided assistance everywhere.

Her mission is simple and clear: patrol the mountains and forests, kill or stop the Blood Rat leader if she encounters him, and choose to protect herself first if she is in danger.

Foundation Establishment cultivators can no longer be considered cannon fodder; they are the backbone of development in any sect.

It is true that the Xuantian Sword Sect is a righteous sect, but the law of the jungle prevails openly and honestly everywhere in this world.

The life of a Qi Refining disciple is not as valuable as that of a Foundation Establishment disciple.

Strength is the biggest class barrier in this world. Thinking of how Lin Bufan looked so aggrieved when he passed by during the day and called her "Uncle-Master," Lin Qingyu felt refreshed.

This little prodigy is easy to manipulate. Next time, he'll be calling me "Grandpa"!

As time passed, until the moon was high in the sky, Lin Qingyu, who had been hiding in the shadows, finally saw that familiar figure.

Zhou Xiaonuan.

As if sleepwalking, she walked straight toward a crack.

"Whoosh~"

With Lin Qingyu's five senses, she could even hear a clear sound of wind breaking, and the figure quickly disappeared into the crack.

If she's rushing like this... won't she accidentally hurt her cat?

About an incense stick later, the figure once again crawled out of the crack in a familiar, eerie manner.

Meow~

Zhou Xiaohei was taken aback because it hadn't barked yet!

Immediately, a light footstep sound came, and it looked warily into the shadows in the forest.

A very beautiful human stepped out slowly and reached out his hands towards it, as if to hug it.

cut!

Zhou Xiaohei rolled its eyes. Foolish humans! How could a noble cat like itself submit to...

The next moment, a familiar aura slowly emanated from Lin Qingyu.

Zhou Xiaohei's eyes widened instantly, and he rushed towards the girl at an extremely fast speed.

"Meow~ Master~!!!"

...
