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

In the following days.

After discovering the method of quarrying stone bricks from the mountainside, Lin Heng constructed more spirit-suppressing tower arrays and ancient trees with mysterious roots near the small wooden house surrounded by mountains.

Perhaps his arrays are sufficient for the demonic calendar outside the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

But after all, we are now in the fairyland of the Immortal Ancient Era.

Even someone like Chu Lihai has reached the Golden Core realm, surpassing Lin Heng, let alone the higher-level figures in the Dark Sect.

Especially Yu Zhiyue's uncle, who possesses the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator far surpassing Lin Heng and the other two, and even the strength of a Dao Enlightenment cultivator.

It is worth mentioning that Chu Lihai, who was hanging upside down on the ancient tree of Xuangen, woke up several times during this period.

But every time Lin Heng asked him how the Dark Sect knew Yu Zhiyue's whereabouts, he kept quiet until the Mysterious Root Ancient Tree drained away the spiritual power he had finally managed to recover.

This went on and on several times, even making Lin Heng wonder if this guy had some kind of special inclination.

But only Chu Lihai himself knew that from the first day he was controlled by Lin Heng using the Xuan Root Ancient Tree, he could be saved as long as he endured it.

All he needs now is time.

On the tenth day, his father, who was in the Dark Sect, would definitely come in person with people to rescue him...

In the past few days, Yu Zhiyue has become more and more accustomed to helping Lin Heng quarry stone bricks every day, and then helping him pass the stone bricks over when he is constructing the array.

At first, she was delighted that her monotonous cultivation life had finally improved because of Lin Heng's arrival.

But over time, she began to notice something was off about Lin Heng.

Aside from his daily routine of cultivation, constructing arrays, and torturing Chu Lihai, Lin Heng would often sit on the steps outside his cabin at night, gazing at the sky for a while, as if he had something on his mind.

For example, today is the tenth day since Lin Heng came to my place.

After tormenting Chu Lihai with the Xuangen Ancient Tree, he sat down on the steps at the entrance of the cabin.

"You can eat the rest yourself."

After seeing Lin Heng return from the direction of the ancient tree with mysterious roots at the cave entrance, Yu Zhiyue placed the remaining fruit on the windowsill and let the spirit fox eat it by itself.

She carefully approached the door of the cabin and sat down next to Lin Heng.

After glancing to the side, she found that Lin Heng seemed to completely ignore her, still looking up at the sky as usual.

"Oh, Young Master Lin."

Finally, Yu Zhiyue couldn't help but gently bump Lin Heng with her shoulder.

"?"

Lin Heng then came to his senses and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"You look at the sky like that every night... are you thinking about someone?"

Yu Zhiyue cupped her chin in her hands, looking at Lin Heng with curiosity.

"Whom am I thinking of? Maybe."

Lin Heng shrugged, but did not deny it.

After all, he had been in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm for so long, and he was indeed thinking about the green oasis in the clouds outside.

After rolling her eyes, Yu Zhiyue asked softly, "Hmm... are they Yun Qinghe and Mu Tinglan that Young Master Lin mentioned before?"

"Yes, but it's not just them."

Lin Heng glanced back at the spirit fox eating fruit on the windowsill.

Because only he knew that this spirit fox, who had only recently arrived in the Immortal Realm, was none other than Gesang Nazha, who would one day be able to cultivate to the Enlightenment Realm.

"No, not just them?"

Yu Zhiyue paused for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Are they... all Young Master Lin's Daoist partners?"

After all, only family or Daoist partners are worthy of such deep concern from an outstanding array builder like Lin Heng, right?

"We wouldn't call ourselves Daoist partners."

Lin Heng shook his head. "Strictly speaking, they all call me master."

"Owner?"

Yu Zhiyue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but her curiosity only grew. "Is it like the demon immortals who serve as menial laborers in the various sects of the immortal realm?"

"I don't know about that."

Lin Heng shrugged and said, "After all, I haven't been to any other places since I came to the Immortal Realm."

"Oh……"

Yu Zhiyue nodded slowly: "So, Young Master Lin feels a little unaccustomed to not hearing them call you 'Master' for so long, right? Just like... when I first arrived in the Immortal Realm, I didn't hear anyone call me 'Princess' for many days?"

I guess so.

Lin Heng nodded.

Yu Zhiyue thought for a moment, then whispered, "Then... how about I call Young Master Lin 'Master'?"

"ha?"

Lin Heng stared at her, wide-eyed and stunned.

"Pfft, I still feel something's off!"

Yu Zhiyue herself couldn't hold back anymore. She covered her mouth and laughed, "Originally, I wanted to address him that way so that Young Master Lin could gradually get used to the Immortal Realm."

Although her use of "master" sounded somewhat eccentric.

But Lin Heng could sense her kindness.

What truly stunned him was the information from the Immortal Slave Manual that flashed before his eyes when Yu Zhiyue called him "master":

[Yu Zhiyue's intimacy level +10, now 10.]

[If a slave spirit seal is successfully formed when the slave master leaves the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, the intimacy level will be doubled and converted into loyalty.]

How can loyalty be increased without forming a slave spirit seal?

No, the Immortal Slave Handbook indicates intimacy level...

However, Lin Heng did notice the final note in the Immortal Slave Manual.

Yu Zhiyue's loyalty will be calculated after he leaves the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

In other words, just as I guessed, the timing of leaving the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm was indeed related to Yu Zhiyue.

After this little incident, Lin Heng began to quietly think about his future plans.

Yu Zhiyue remained silent, simply sitting quietly next to Lin Heng.

From midnight (11 PM - 1 AM) until 1 AM the following day.

In the celestial realm, which is imbued with spiritual energy, cultivators do not easily feel tired.

"Young Master Lin! Fairy Yu!"

Suddenly, a sound coming from the direction of the ancient tree with mysterious roots at the cave entrance finally broke the tranquility of the night.

"Young Master Lin."

Yu Zhiyue stood up first.

Because that sound was Chu Lihai's somewhat weak shout.

"Let's go check it out; maybe that guy has come to his senses."

Lin Heng slowly got up and then went to the cave entrance with Yu Zhiyue.

Upon arriving at the foot of the Mystic Root Ancient Tree, Lin Heng instructed the tree to loosen the vines obscuring Chu Lihai's eyes.

Seeing Lin Heng and the other man, Chu Lihai, looking weak, hurriedly called out to Lin Heng, "Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin, I'll talk... I'll tell you everything, could you please put me down?"

"You've figured it out?" Lin Heng looked at him with a smile.

Chu Lihai repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, I've thought it through. As long as you put me down, I'll tell you everything!"

"Really... um?"

Suddenly, Lin Heng frowned.

Because he clearly sensed that Chu Lihai's body was emanating an aura that he was extremely familiar with.

Yu Zhiyue, who was in the Immortal Ancient Era, did not notice this aura.

Because the aura surrounding him was the demonic energy that Lin Heng would bring to the world every time a demonic tide erupted in the Demonic Calendar!
