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

"Sigh~"

The phantom sighed deeply, and when it spoke again, its tone had become extremely formal and solemn.

"Now that you've passed the test, let's enter the Land of Inheritance."

Lin Qingyu glanced at the illusory figure's expression; that businesslike attitude made it seem as if the earlier disdain was just an illusion.

Tsk~

When it comes to changing their tune quickly, these old folks are all masters.

"Thank you, senior."

Lin Qingyu instantly dropped her arrogant demeanor and obediently bowed to the illusory figure.

The two souls inadvertently exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise and admiration in each other's eyes.

"cough!"

The phantom coughed lightly and waved its hand.

"Hurry up and go in; the inheritance only lasts for half an hour."

Lin Qingyu stepped confidently into the land of inheritance...

Half an hour later.

A white-haired girl walked out of the place of inheritance with a look of utter disbelief.

"Haha, congratulations young friend on inheriting this legacy."

The phantom figure remained hovering near the light barrier, its face full of schadenfreude.

Lin Qingyu gritted her teeth, but looking at the almost dissipating soul in front of her, her shoulders slumped down helplessly.

Forget it, why bother arguing with a dead man?

She never expected that the test would involve refining pills on the spot. No matter how many methods she had, she could only watch helplessly as the pills exploded in the furnace.

Liu Guanzhi's evaluation seemed to echo in my ears once again:

Wasting medicinal materials.

Sigh~ I've been walking on thin ice my whole life, will I ever be able to reach the other side?

With this question in mind, Lin Qingyu slowly stepped out of the inheritance site, her back view carrying a hint of loneliness and desolation.

"Little girl, do you really enjoy alchemy?"

At this moment, the phantom spoke again.

"like!"

Lin Qingyu paused, her eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded without hesitation.

Since she transmigrated here, she has loved doing two things the most.

Spiritual practice and saving money.

Although there are already a mere hundred million spirit crystals in the system space, if there is no way to make money, they will eventually run out of resources.

After all, she couldn't always get close to someone like Gu Wudao in every simulation.

"Um..."

The illusory figure remained silent for a moment, stroked its beard, and slowly spoke under her expectant gaze.

"In the world of cultivation, the righteous path of cultivation is often solid and stable, but the threshold is extremely high, and most people do not even have the aptitude for cultivation."

"Uh-huh!"

Lin Qingyu had already flashed back to the illusory figure and nodded in agreement.

She knew she had triggered a hidden storyline in the cultivation world, and he was sure he would say "but"!

"but..."

The illusory figure smiled mysteriously, and, with satisfaction, continued speaking, under the girl's increasingly impatient yet hesitant gaze:

"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and humanity escapes one; the path of cultivation is naturally the same. Besides the righteous path and the demonic path, the evil path has been able to continue to this day, so there must be a reason for it."

"You're actually a heretical cultivator?"

Lin Qingyu looked at him in disbelief.

"Hey! You little brat, how dare you slander my innocence for no reason?"

The phantom image blew its beard and glared.

"What I mean is that there are also shortcuts in alchemy."

"Please give me your guidance, senior."

Lin Qingyu suppressed all her superfluous expressions, leaving only a thirst for knowledge.

"That's enough."

The phantom looked up at the sky, its eyes filled with emotion, and finally slowly shook its head.

"This is my own unique alchemy technique."

He took out a yellowed ancient book with seven large characters written on it: "Formation-Assisted Alchemy Method".

"This method has consumed my entire life's work. Although I have only managed to research fifth-grade pills, it has opened up a new path for alchemy, which is most suitable for cultivators like you who have no talent for alchemy."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyu took the ancient book with a strange expression. After flipping through a few pages, she could indeed see that it was unusual.

But seeing the smug look on the phantom's face, she couldn't help but ask:

"Senior, have you ever considered that the Dao of Arrays is even more difficult to learn than the Dao of Alchemy?"

"..."

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

Lin Qingyu smiled slightly, put away the ancient book, and respectfully bowed to the stiff-faced phantom.

"However, this alchemy method suits me very well. Thank you, senior."

"snort!"

The phantom snorted coldly, and its figure slowly dissipated from the spot.

"Hurry up and leave, don't come back next time."

Lin Qingyu chuckled softly, then her figure transformed into a streak of crimson light and rushed straight toward the exit.

"Don't worry, senior. If I have the opportunity, I will definitely pass on this unorthodox alchemy method."

......

As soon as Lin Qingyu stepped into the cave, a dark figure pounced on her from the shadows.

With lightning speed, she reached out and precisely grabbed the fluffy little black ball.

It was Xiao Hei.

Its four paws flailed wildly in mid-air, its round eyes were filled with grievance, and its voice was full of accusation:

"Master, are you disgusted with the cat?"

Lin Qingyu felt a secret thrill. No wonder those people liked to grab other people by the back of the neck; it made them feel so controlled.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just didn't see it clearly."

After saying that, she hugged Xiao Hei into her arms and gently rubbed its fluffy head.

Xiao Hei immediately quieted down, letting out a satisfied purr, its paws gripping Lin Qingyu's clothes tightly.

"Meow meow meow~!"

At that moment, a chorus of cat meows rose and fell from all around.

Lin Qingyu raised her eyes and swept over, a powerful aura quietly rising, and the cave fell silent once again.

Looking at the group of cats huddled in the corner, trembling with fear, Lin Qingyu snorted disdainfully and slowly walked up to the woman who was tied to the stone pillar.

Ye Jinghong.

Lin Qingyu stood in front of the stone pillar, her gaze fixed on the unconscious woman.

That's it.

As if remembering something, the murderous intent surging in her eyes slowly subsided, and then a crimson spiritual light appeared at her fingertips as she pointed a finger at Ye Jinghong's forehead.

"Buzz~"

The moment the crimson light entered Ye Jinghong's brow, the dark red tracking mark on her forehead trembled violently, then disintegrated inch by inch at a speed visible to the naked eye, finally disappearing without a trace.

That mark was a restriction placed on Ye Jinghong by her master, the purpose of which was naturally to prevent her from escaping.

However, the methods of a mere late-stage Golden Core cultivator are naturally no challenge for Lin Qingyu in her current state.

"Hmm~"

The moment the mark collapsed, Ye Jinghong uttered a very soft murmur.

Sensing that the other party was about to wake up, Lin Qingyu's figure flickered, and she and Xiao Hei turned into a blur, disappearing from the cave in an instant.

When they reappeared, a person and a cat were walking on a forest path in the secret realm.

"Master, why are you helping her?"

Little Black nestled in her arms, tilting its fluffy head, its round eyes filled with curiosity.

After all, in its memory, its master didn't seem like the kind of person who would do such an unnecessary thing; not killing that person was already considered merciful.

I didn't help her.

Lin Qingyu slowly shook her head and looked up into the distance.

In the dense forest, a burly monster was pinning a small, thin cub down under its claws, its gaping maw already wide open.

Lin Qingyu withdrew her gaze and stopped looking.

The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive.

Everyone has their own destiny.

She simply wanted to help that "former version of herself"...

...
