After the destruction of the Immortal Realm, I took in the fallen fairy.

This dowry was originally intended as a valuable betrothal gift from Baima Meiduo to her daughter's future husband or fellow practitioner.

But Gesang Nazha never had a husband, and even after attaining immortality, she didn't have a fellow cultivator.

Ironically, in this era of the Demonic Calendar, there has come a slave master…

Therefore, this substantial dowry could only be entrusted to Lin Heng.

"Lord Lin Heng, this... is an appendage of our family's deity. Please accept it."

After taking a deep breath, Baima Meiduo solemnly placed the wooden box in Lin Heng's hands.

"A deity descended by the Five Elements Immortal Venerable?"

Although it was merely an accessory to a deity, Lin Heng examined the small wooden box with great interest.

But at this very moment, new information appeared in the Immortal Slave Manual!

[Because the slave master failed to fulfill the Nine Nether Goddess's (hidden) wish, the Nine Nether Goddess's exclusive weapon reward has been invalidated.]

hide?

Hidden quest?

Hey, it's not you stepping on it—

[Obtain the Nine Seas Goddess's Tide-Summoning Seal, reactivating the Nine Seas Goddess's exclusive weapon reward.]

Huh?and many more.

Lin Heng lowered his head and stared blankly at the wooden box.

The Nine Seas Goddess's Tide-Summoning Seal... is this thing?

"Lord Lin Heng!"

Perhaps noticing Lin Heng's sudden pause, Baima Meiduo disregarded the many clansmen behind her and immediately knelt down, pleading, "Nazha has always had a temper, please be magnanimous. Whatever your needs, on behalf of our Sand Fox clan, we will do our best to support you..."

"What's wrong with you?"

Lin Heng came to his senses and looked at Baima Meiduo.

At this moment, the usually dignified and elegant old widow was already in tears: "Although I know that Nazha's nature will become even more wicked after being corrupted, please, Lord Lin Heng, don't be so prejudiced. Please, just a little bit, be kind to my daughter..."

At this moment, she was no longer a shrewd businesswoman, nor the patriarch of the Sand Fox family, but simply an old mother who had entrusted her daughter to someone else...

"Is this some kind of stunt...?"

Lin Heng rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

If Baima Medo threatens him with anything, he can simply ignore it.

But there's one thing about him: he responds better to gentle persuasion than force.

Should we resort to force?

He has many ideas.

What about the Spirit Suppressing Tower Formation, the Forest Guardians, the Immortal Slaves of the Nascent Soul Realm, or even divine weapons like the Thousand Branches Vine Sword?

If you bring all these things up, no matter who it is, they will all suffer the same fate as the Heart-Eating Demon Wolf last night.

But then, Baima Meiduo pulled this soft approach...

In this degenerate age of cultivation, strength is what matters. What's the point of putting on this melodramatic show?

However, Lin Heng also knew this.

No matter what the situation, what parent doesn't care about their children?

Lin Heng himself knew perfectly well that ever since he formed the slave spirit seal on Gesang Nazha last night, his attitude towards Gesang Nazha had been completely different from that of the other immortal slaves.

After all, with the Immortal Slave Manual, his combat power is comparable to that of Lü Bu.

Whether the fairy servants under their command can become Diao Chan or Red Hare depends entirely on their attitude.

Clearly, Lin Heng would be prejudiced against Gesang Nazana because of her demonic transformation and desire to kill him.

This guy wants to harm him.

Not killing her is practically an act of great mercy on my part...

But no matter what, Baima Meiduo's genuine emotions and the sincerity contained in the wooden box eventually made Lin Heng waver a little.

It wasn't out of sympathy or pity.

Rather, it stems from a consideration of interests.

Having witnessed the benefits the Thousand Branches Vine Sword brought to the territory, Lin Heng knew that the value of a unique weapon was definitely not just about combat power.

Pure Five Elements rules can bring about a qualitative change in a territory!

The dowry presented by Baima Meiduo reactivated his previously missed hidden exclusive weapon...

"Alright, get up. But in order to refine the demonic energy, I can only say I'll do my best."

"Eh?"

The moment Lin Heng nodded slightly, he heard Gesang Nazha's surprised voice in his mind.

Logically speaking, since he was already her celestial servant and even her mother was his spirit beast, he had no reason to say nice things to appease her.

"Alright, alright, I'm relieved to hear Lord Lin Heng say that..."

Pema Metok's tears of gratitude fell again, and she slowly stood up while wiping away her tears.

"If you want to leave, I'll go and have the Oasis in the Clouds stop right now. You can just go down from there."

Lin Heng pointed to the exit of the oasis in the clouds.

It was a huge vine that spiraled down from high to low.

Baima Meiduo simply nodded, too excited to speak.

Finally, Gesang Dorje patted his mother on the back and said to Lin Heng, "Yes, Lord Lin Heng, we are ready at any time."

"Um."

Turning around, Lin Heng returned to his home and temporarily interrupted the Lingying Restoration Array.

"Owner."

Mu Tinglan, who was reading a book on the Tanhuan Jiehu platform, greeted Lin Heng.

"Oh, right..."

Lin Heng turned his gaze to Mu Tinglan.

After all, the title of "Nine Seas Goddess" was her celestial servant.

So Lin Heng opened the wooden box.

In an instant, the contents of the wooden box suddenly became larger than the box that had previously contained it.

What Lin Heng held in his hand was a long, narrow wooden box, radiating golden light and secured with a lock...

However, this suddenly enlarged long wooden box is different from the previous small wooden box.

Its body is covered with a special spiritual energy.

Furthermore, the lock on the box is very special; it doesn't have a keyhole, but rather a mermaid-shaped mark on the front of the lock.

At this time, Lin Heng also noticed that Mu Tinglan's title had changed:

【Nine Seas Goddess: A fairy with a water spirit root who mastered the power of source water became the Nine Seas Goddess. The Nine Seas Goddess can not only nourish all things, but also allow them to grow into more evolved forms.】

When the Goddess of the Nine Seas played the Melody of Tear to Summon the Tide, the rivers and oceans of the Immortal Realm were formed by the surging waves generated by the rules of the Source Water...

[Mermaid's Tears Tide-Summoning Flute (Requires unlocking the Nine Seas Goddess title and triggering the Nine Seas Goddess's Tide-Summoning Seal): ? ? ?]

[Nine Sea Goddess's Tide-Summoning Seal: Not triggered.]

"Master, did you... bring back some new treasure?"

Mu Tinglan leaned closer and asked Lin Heng curiously.

Do you know what this mark means?

Lin Heng pointed to the lock on the long wooden box.

Mu Tinglan frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally shook her head: "I've never seen anything like it before, but this wooden box itself is actually protected by spiritual energy and is extremely sturdy..."

"Um."

Lin Heng nodded slowly. If it weren't for the layer of spiritual energy covering it, he wouldn't mind opening the wooden box in the most direct way.

However, this long wooden box was not only protected by spiritual energy, but even the Goddess of the Nine Seas herself did not recognize the mark...

Even Lin Heng could only sigh helplessly.

As expected, a unique weapon like the Thousand Branches Vine Sword isn't something you can easily obtain...

Seeing Lin Heng's somewhat disappointed expression, Mu Tinglan rolled her eyes and said with a light laugh, "By the way, Master, I discovered in the book that cultivators in the past used the power of rules in a very interesting way..."

"If you find it interesting, then keep looking. I should go outside and check the consumption of the Spirit Suppressing Tower Formation."

Lin Heng put the wooden box into the bedside cabinet, then got up and left.

Although the Nine Seas Goddess's Melody Tear Tide-Summoning Flute and the Tide-Summoning Seal that opened the wooden box troubled him somewhat, with the Greedy Pleasure Quiz Platform, all Mu Tinglan needed to do was continue reading to earn points.

However, Lin Heng, who got up to leave, did not notice that after he unintentionally interrupted Mu Tinglan, Mu Tinglan's smile froze for two seconds.

It's like when you were a child and wanted to share a fun toy with your best friend, but were told, "If you want to play with it, then play with it yourself."

Therefore, there was no feedback from the slave spirit seal, nor any feedback on loyalty.

But as Lin Heng turned to leave, a hint of melancholy flashed across Mu Tinglan's expression...
