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

Li Xinglan was the son of the head of the Li family, one of the four major families in Yunque City, an affiliated city of the Tianxuan Sword Sect.

During the simulation where you first met Master Wangyue, he even guided you through Yunque City.

However, that was just a simulation; you've never met in real life.

Even if you have encountered it, there is no need to worry. Surely no one actually walks the cultivation world with their real face?

With Lin Qingyu's current appearance and temperament, if she were to run around the world with her original face, there would be too many troubles. There will never be a shortage of arrogant and conceited people in the world.

Although she is now able to face most troubles without fear, she does not want to cause unnecessary bloodshed.

With Lin Qingyu's current cultivation level, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to see through her Thousand Transformations.

However, according to the records of this secret technique, its upper limit is only up to the late Nascent Soul stage, and it will not be very effective against cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the Nascent Soul stage... judging from the fact that Old Lady Lingxiu didn't even bother to mention it, it basically had no effect.

As everyone took another step, Lin Qingyu subtly probed Li Xinglan with her divine sense.

Mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation!

If her memory serves her correctly, this kid should only have a low-grade three spiritual root and at that time only had Qi Refining cultivation.

Only about four years have passed in reality, yet his cultivation has progressed so quickly, far surpassing Xiao Fanzi's.

Something's not right, not at all. Something's definitely not right.

This kid definitely has a big problem!

However, Lin Qingyu did not show any unusual behavior, but simply followed the group silently with her head down.

The group walked straight ahead and entered a very spacious hall.

The hall was almost full. In the main seat, a girl in red sat gracefully. There was still a hint of childishness in her eyes, but her aura was far stronger than that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Without a doubt, this is a genuine Golden Core cultivator, and not even a beginner at the Golden Core stage.

Lin Qingyu was slightly startled. Such a young Golden Core cultivator? She had never heard of such a thing before.

She quickly calmed down; it must be some special technique, or something similar to Luo Ling'er's situation.

Hmph! There's no way there could be a Golden Core cultivator younger than me!

Even if there is, then... let's compare again at the Nascent Soul stage.

After feeling a sense of mental victory, Lin Qingyu looked up towards the main seat and found that the girl was also leisurely sizing her up.

Shen Yue was whispering in her ear, and every word reached Lin Qingyu's ears.

"The woman's name is Lin Qianqian. We found her in the dense forest. She is an inner disciple of the Dan Ding Pavilion, and her identity token has been verified."

"Her father was a peak Golden Core cultivator, who was suspected of being ambushed by cultivators from the Youqi Alliance and easily defeated."

"This means that the person who came was at least a pseudo-Nascent Soul cultivator, but we cannot rule out the possibility that a real Nascent Soul cultivator might come in person."

"You, come here!"

After hearing this, the girl beckoned downwards with her finger.

"Ah...oh..."

Lin Qingyu was taken aback at first, and after a moment she seemed to realize that the other party was referring to her. She then took small steps and slowly moved to the table in front of the main seat.

"Tsk~ How come you're only at the peak of the Refinement stage?"

The girl in red frowned in disgust, her gaze suddenly falling on the little black dog in her arms, before slamming her hand on the table.

"Bang!!!"

Amidst the flying sawdust, the entire table shattered with a crash.

"..."

The sparse chatter inside the hall abruptly ceased.

"Does this cat obey you completely?"

The girl suddenly leaned closer, her fingertips almost poking Lin Qingyu's chest, her eyes burning with undisguised fervor.

"I heard it."

Lin Qingyu's throat moved slightly, her voice carrying just the right amount of trembling. She seemed very nervous, but in reality, part of her mind was already focused on Duan Yuan.

If this little girl dares to steal Little Black, I'll teach her a lesson right now.

"Haha~ Good! Very good! Excellent!"

The girl suddenly sat up straight, put her hands on her hips, and laughed loudly.

The people inside the hall looked at each other, but no one spoke; their eyes were filled with a numbness that had long been a habit.

After she had finished laughing, the girl in red looked at Lin Qingyu with sincere eyes.

"Interested in joining my ranks?"

"The Purple Palace Guard?"

Lin Qingyu's heart skipped a beat, but she remained outwardly calm.

"What Purple Guard? It's my Purple Guard C-class Battalion. These are two different things."

The girl in red pouted, her tone revealing an innate arrogance.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that this girl had quite a background, daring to fabricate the name of an army like the Zichen Guard.

Although she was somewhat tempted by the prospect of getting a government job, she maintained just the right amount of reserve:

"Senior...I am a disciple of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion."

"It's just a nominal position; it won't affect your status."

The girl waved her hand dismissively, but her gaze remained fixed on Xiao Hei.

"But... I only have Qi Refining cultivation."

Lin Qingyu took everything in. It seemed that the other party had some special means to sense Xiao Hei's extraordinary nature.

However, she wasn't worried that the other party would be able to see through Xiao Hei's true form, since even Granny Lingxiu hadn't noticed anything amiss.

"It's alright, I'll give you the title of Beast Tamer. With this little cat's peak second-tier cultivation, it's more than enough to be a captain."

"I..."

What do you want?

The girl in red finally lost her patience, her tone tinged with impatience.

Lin Qingyu felt she had been reserved enough, so she tentatively began to speak:

"Spirit Crystals?"

"cut!"

The girl in red smiled dismissively and held up three fingers.

"This is the amount I'll give you every year."

"Three...three thousand?"

Lin Qingyu swallowed.

"Who do you think you are? Thirty thousand!"

"I'd go through fire and water for you, my lord!"

Seeing the other person's excited eyes, the girl in red smiled slightly, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

"Your Highness... Commander, is 30,000 spirit crystals...?"

Shen Yue stood to the side, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Thirty thousand! That's enough to hire several Golden Core cultivators as henchmen every year.

Upon hearing this, both pairs of eyes instantly fixed on her.

Lin Qingyu's eyes were full of resentment, silently conveying the warning, "I advise you not to meddle."

The girl in red curled her lip indifferently.

"My grandmother just gave me a large spirit crystal mine last month. Do you think 30,000 is a lot?"

Shen Yue remained silent.

Shen Yue shut up.

The fervor in Lin Qingyu's eyes intensified.

No wonder they say that nine out of ten little girls are rich, and the other one lives in a villa!

This argument, surprisingly, makes sense in the world of cultivation.

And listen to what she just called out:

Royal grandmother! ! !

Good heavens, what kind of divine background is this? The Purple Cloud Royal Family?

Lin Qingyu subtly pushed Duan Yuan deeper into the system warehouse.

Today, the other person just wants her to know why the flowers are so red, and she'll do everything in her power to make it happen!

The little black cat nestled in her arms: Master, shouldn't you ask me how I feel, meow?
