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

"I guess it might be because the Pavilion Master was affected by the last demonic tide. It is said that the Pavilion Master is a fairy with a wood spirit root, so it is normal for her body to feel unwell after experiencing such a demonic tide."

The fairy in front of him analyzed the situation for Lin Heng.

But what about the last demonic tide?

During the last demonic tide, before he could even see what the demons in the level 5 demonic tide were, Mu Tinglan transformed into Canglan Xuanwu and shattered the demonic energy.

"Young Master Lin, the monsters in the last demonic tide were Demon-Eating Birds. Although the entire Golden Deer City was spared from the demonic tide under Young Master Lin's protection, the Demon-Eating Birds have a unique characteristic."

The fairy continued, "The corpse of the Demon-Eating Bird, upon contact with spiritual energy, might disrupt the spiritual energy of one's spiritual roots, causing discomfort, especially when the body is weak. Logically, such negative effects shouldn't occur during the Demon Calendar, yet Young Master Lin was able to revive our spiritual roots. I suspect the Pavilion Master also did so around that time..."

"I see."

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

At that time, Yun Yue was with him, just as they were completing the fellow practitioner's inheritance.

That was clearly when her body was at its weakest...

"You go about your business, I'll go find her myself."

Lin Heng dismissed the fairy and then used Liu Hun Yu Ji's ability to inquire about Yun Yue's whereabouts.

A moment later, Yun Yue replied, "I'm currently in the Misty Pavilion... Is there anything you need me to do, Master?"

As Lin Heng walked, he said, "Wait for me at the Misty Pavilion, I'll be right there."

"Master...you, you've returned to Golden Deer City?!" Yun Yue asked in surprise.

She is unaware that Lin Heng has already returned to Jinlu City.

"Yes, via the Watchtower of the Cloud Oasis that I was teleported back to last time."

Lin Heng said calmly, "I came to see you about something."

"Then, I'll go see my master."

"No need. I heard from the fairy at the mine that you seem to be feeling unwell lately?"

"this……"

Yun Yue fell silent.

"So you can just wait for me at the Lost Pavilion."

"Yes, Master."

……

Passing through Dawn Square in Jinlu City again, Lin Heng noticed that Jinlu City had undergone considerable changes since he left.

The most obvious example is that some of the demon merchants who ran shops left Golden Deer City, and the shops were taken over by the fairies of Golden Deer City.

After all, Lin Heng had witnessed it firsthand during the few days of restructuring in Jinlu City.

At that time, the shops on the street were almost deserted, and those demon merchants, who were used to the profits from the immortal maiden industry, naturally couldn't stand such a huge drop in popularity...

What those cunning merchants didn't expect was that in just over ten days, the streets of Golden Deer City became bustling again.

Even now, nearing midnight, Lin Heng still sees fairies buying goods in front of shops.

The reason for this is quite simple.

At the beginning of the reform, Yun Yue was still assigning jobs to the fairies who had shed their fairy maiden shells.

Without the spirit stones from the fairy slave merchant, those fairies naturally had no spending power.

Now, every fairy in Golden Deer City has found a job that she is good at, and she can earn generous rewards through her work to make purchases.

After all, under Lin Heng's plan, as long as these fairies work hard, the rewards they receive will be no less than the packaging fees given by the fairy slave merchants.

So now that the fairies have stable jobs, they can naturally boost the consumption power of Golden Deer City...

Before long, Lin Heng had already arrived at the Misty Pavilion.

"Young Master Lin, this way please."

At the entrance, it was still the same fairy who Yun Yue had arranged to deliver messages to him before who led the way.

At this time, the oil lamps in Mijin Pavilion had already been extinguished. Looking up, only one private room on the second floor still had the light of an oil lamp.

The fairy led Lin Heng to the second floor: "Young Master Lin, our Mijin Pavilion has now become a normal tea-drinking place. Although business is not as good as before, it has provided a good working environment for the Pavilion Master to plan the political affairs of Jinlu City."

Lin Heng asked curiously, "Did your wages decrease?"

"This is actually the most puzzling thing for the fairies of our Lost Pavilion."

The fairy smiled and said, "Although there are fewer guests than before, the wages the pavilion master pays us are no less than before."

Lin Heng was taken aback for a moment, but quickly came up with the answer.

After all, Yun Yue is now able to construct the Spirit Restoration Array and use it to produce spirit stones.

With her loyalty of 300, even disregarding the probability of getting a double yolk, she would still earn a full 300 spirit stones every day...

"Young Master Lin, the Pavilion Master is resting inside."

After seeing Lin Heng to the door, the fairy stood still and did not go any further.

"it is good."

Lin Heng nodded, then gently pushed open the door to the private room.

"Owner?!"

The noise at the door made Yun Yue, who had been working with her head down, immediately look up.

Although she looked a little tired, Lin Heng could still sense the surprise in her eyes.

Lin Heng nodded and walked in.

Sure enough, the edge of the bed where Yun Yue was sitting was set up with a spirit-restoring array that could produce spirit stones.

What intrigued him even more was the hand Yun Yue was holding the pen in.

"Still working so late?"

Lin Heng walked over, and Yun Yue immediately moved over to make room for him to sit down.

"Yes, I'm writing to several neighboring cities to renegotiate foreign trade between them."

Seeing Lin Heng sit down beside her, Yun Yue put down her pen and poured him a cup of tea. "What brings you here this time, Master?"

Getting down to business, Lin Heng asked her seriously, "Do you remember when I asked you about Tinglan's background?"

"Um."

Yun Yue asked in confusion, "I remember... Master asked me about that seashell before?"

"Yes, it's a seashell."

Lin Heng nodded heavily: "Can you draw it from your memory? The more detailed the better."

"That's certainly not difficult."

Yun Yue said softly, "However, my painting skills are probably limited. If Master needs them... I might make a fool of myself."

"It's okay."

Lin Heng shrugged, recalling the sickly fairy he had once drawn, and comforted her with a smile, "My drawing skills aren't that great either, so just keep drawing."

"Alright then..."

As Yun Yue spoke, she moved the papers on the table in front of her, then took out a brand new sheet of paper and began to draw.

She lowered her head and focused intently on drawing on the blank paper.

Every stroke was executed with utmost care, without the slightest pause.

Just as she had told Lin Heng before, she had studied the seashell before, so she had a very deep impression of it, to the point that she didn't even need to spend time thinking during the entire painting process.

Gradually, a few strands of hair fell from her ears.

But Yun Yue seemed not to notice and continued to concentrate on her painting.

Lin Heng, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.

It must be said that when the Yunling Sect Master gets serious, he seems to exude a more mature charm than usual, reflecting the essence of his wood-based spiritual root...
