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

Originally, Lin Heng asked Yun Yue to prepare for taking over Jinlu City and for the Jinlu City Fairy Maiden.

As Yun Yue understood it, as the sect leader of Yunling Sect, she didn't need to prepare much for management-related matters.

After all, the fact that she was able to announce her plan to take over Jinlu City already showed that she had thought it through carefully.

Therefore, it was the shared cultivation and inheritance with Lin Heng that Yun Yue was least confident and least certain of.

Although it wasn't quite what I expected, it was still part of my future plans.

So, in front of Yun Yue, whose phoenix eyes held a coldness and whose posture was dignified, Lin Heng taught her to firmly grasp two core principles and implement the fundamental concept of common development without wavering.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Heng finally ended the superficial discussion without engaging in any in-depth exchanges with the inexperienced Yun Yue.

Yun Yue then covered her beautiful shoulders with her clothes again, watching her master leave the Misty Pavilion...

On the way back to the Oasis in the Clouds, Lin Heng couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

Yun Yue truly lives up to her title as the sect leader of the Yunling Sect.

Regardless of their level of strength, she was even a bit stronger than Yun Qinghe and Mu Tinglan, whose potential and abilities were not to be underestimated.

However, despite being the head of a sect, her inexperience in handling such matters, while mature, also revealed a touch of naivety.

……

Back home, Yun Qinghe and Song Jingyu had already returned from the mine, and Mu Tinglan had prepared dinner.

After Lin Heng returned home, the group had dinner together.

It's worth mentioning that Lin Heng noticed that Song Jingyu, the red-haired girl, was unusually serving food to everyone.

It's one thing for her to serve food to herself and Yun Qinghe; she does this all the time.

However, she even diligently served delicious dishes to Gesang Nazha and Mu Tinglan, with whom she had a less than friendly relationship.

After the meal, seeing Lin Heng gazing thoughtfully at Song Jingyu, Mu Tinglan chuckled softly as she cleared the dishes, "Is Master wondering why little sister Jingyu is trying to please us?"

"Is it because... Gesang Nazha taught her how to brew herbal tea?"

Lin Heng voiced his guess, but still had some doubts: "But what is her reason for wanting you?"

"Because of this."

Mu Tinglan pointed to the Mermaid's Tear Tide-Calling Flute tucked between her arms.

Lin Heng suddenly realized.

The second-stage ability of the Mermaid's Tear Tide-Summoning Flute is that by consuming spiritual energy, one can play the Nine Seas Joyful Melody, thus doubling the effects of the spiritual herbs...

"Little teacher, little teacher!"

Just then, Tian Qianchen's voice came from outside.

"Master, Elder Tian has come looking for you."

Mu Tinglan pointed to the door, and Lin Heng stood up and walked out of the house.

As soon as Tian Qianchen saw Lin Heng, he sneakily approached him: "Little teacher, that old guy Tao Hongzhou is completely convinced of your abilities now!"

"Tao Hongzhou?"

Lin Heng was taken aback for a moment; this must be Elder Tao's real name.

"What's wrong with him?" Lin Heng asked curiously.

"Hehe, after seeing the array formation of this oasis in the clouds, he exclaimed that it was breathtaking!"

Tian Qianchen gave Lin Heng a thumbs up and said, "After all, many of the arrays you constructed are exactly the same as those in the Chaos Demon Lord's Manual!"

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

In fact, when he discovered the Thousand Branches Vine Sword and the Mermaid Tears Tide-Summoning Flute among the fragments of the Chaos Demon Lord's notes today, he vaguely felt that the Chaos Demon Lord had some connection with his Immortal Slave Manual.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen that old man, in front of someone else's constructed array, take notes like a student, finding paper and pen!"

Tian Qianchen chuckled and said, "I teased him back then, saying, 'Why don't you become my apprentice? After I've learned everything from you, little teacher, I'll come back and give him a little pointers, and maybe even help you find a grand-disciple!'"

"..."

Lin Heng's eyelids twitched. "Elder Tian, ​​don't tell me Elder Tao actually agreed."

"No, that old man is a bit stubborn."

Tian Qianchen said helplessly, "He also advised me that it's good to maintain a friendship with you, Little Teacher, but you shouldn't get too close."

"Oh?"

Lin Heng looked at him with considerable interest.

"He said, 'Little teacher, you possess such a territory and have a powerful array-building ability. You will surely become a lord comparable to a great power in the future.'"

Tian Qianchen shrugged and said, "That's why this old guy thinks it's okay to maintain a good friendship with you, little teacher, but reminding me not to forget that I'm a citizen of Tian Shu Kingdom..."

"Oh shit!"

At this point, Tian Qianchen couldn't help but curse, "Don't we, the General Administration, know what kind of wretch Tian Shu Kingdom is? In my opinion, Tian Shu Kingdom will either change or be destroyed; it has no long-term future. Only that stubborn old man acts like he's a die-hard loyalist to Tian Shu Kingdom..."

Lin Heng whispered, "If he's a staunch loyalist of the Tian Shu Kingdom... then Elder Tian, ​​who are you?"

"Tian Shu is a traitor?"

Tian Qianchen, with great self-awareness, used such an unpleasant nickname.

However, he was quite frank: "So be it, Tian Shu is a traitor! This is a chaotic world anyway, so of course, whoever feeds us will be our mother. I don't think there's anything wrong with relying on your Cloud Oasis, Little Teacher. If you rebel, I'll rebel with you!"

"...It's not that bad, it's not that bad."

Lin Heng smiled and shook his head.

But he could understand what Tian Qianchen was saying.

Tian Qianchen actually wanted to win Tao Hongzhou over because of his array-building skills, but the two had different ideas, and forcibly bringing him over would only make him have ulterior motives, and it would also make her uneasy.

Therefore, Lin Heng simply said to Tian Qianchen, "Elder Tao has his own ideas, and we cannot force him."

Tian Qianchen patted the Demon-Seeking Platform beside him and said, "Hey, that old guy really admires your array-building skills, Little Teacher! After looking at your Demon-Seeking Platform, he was certain that your predictions were even more accurate than those of the Demon-Seeking Platform in the capital!"

"By the way, the Demon Observation Platform... should also predict the next demon tide."

After calculating the time, Lin Heng took out a spirit stone from his pocket and placed it into the core of the Demon Detective Platform.

However, when Lin Heng began to examine the records of past demonic tides, he discovered some unexpected information:

[The Fifth Demonic Tide: The demonic creatures appearing are Taixu Immortal Souls, mid-tier demonic creatures, belonging to a Level 4 demonic tide. Among them, Taixu Immortal Souls at the Enlightenment Realm appearing in certain areas are mid-to-high-tier demonic creatures, belonging to a Level 7 demonic tide. Additionally, the Canglan Xuanwu appearing under special conditions is a Celestial-rank Sacred Beast, belonging to a Level 10 demonic tide.]

It turns out that the Taixu Immortal Soul we encountered in the mine last time was of a lower level than the Demon Pattern General.

Moreover, the determination of the level 10 demonic tide was actually based on Mu Tinglan's transformation into the Azure Tortoise...
