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

Linxian Mountain...

Upon hearing this familiar name, Lin Heng opened his mouth, about to ask if it was Linxian City.

But then I thought about it again, and realized that during this ancient era, Linxian City had not yet been established.

So he swallowed his words back and said casually, "There are so many people with the surname Xia, they may not all be your descendants."

"No!"

Xia Yonghe said confidently, "Within a hundred miles of Linxian Mountain, only my Xia family has the surname Xia."

"..."

If that's the case, then his kind-hearted, chubby neighbor really is a descendant of Elder Xia?

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

After all, Xia Feng once said that his ancestors were all immortals who had become powerful beings.

It wasn't until his unambitious grandfather that the Xia family gradually declined...

"Let's talk about this kind of coincidence later."

However, Lin Heng did not reveal Xia Feng's name, but only hinted at it with a sentence: "Recently, my mind has been on the formation of the farmhouse."

"Understood!"

Xia Yonghe immediately understood: "Although the mine will take some time, I will help my young friend Lin Heng prepare the spirit stones as soon as possible."

After saying that, he exchanged a few pleasantries with Lin Heng and then left the courtyard.

"I never imagined that this old fellow was actually Xia Feng's ancestor?"

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Lin Heng watched Xia Yonghe leave.

But gradually, he realized that something was wrong.

Looking around, Lin Heng realized that Song Jingyu and Yu Zhiyue didn't seem to be in the farmhouse.

"teacher!!!"

Suddenly, Lin Heng heard Song Jingyu's voice in his mind.

Where are you all?

Lin Heng asked them calmly.

"I... I asked Sister Zhiyue to take me to find the seeds of the Crimson Glory Flower... but that's not important!"

Song Jingyu's tone was somewhat urgent, "Teacher, come quickly, we think we've discovered something terrible!"

"?"

Lin Heng frowned and immediately asked, "Where are you now?"

"Outside the city... Sister Zhiyue said that it's easier to buy Zhu Ronghua from the demon farmers outside the city..."

After receiving Song Jingyu's message, Lin Heng briefly explained a few words to the demons in the farmhouse, then took some spiritual herbs and went out.

Although he didn't know what Song Jingyu was talking about yet, Lin Heng was taking precautions based on her tone.

Exit through the north gate of Guiyuan City.

Lin Heng followed Song Jingyu's route, passing through several farmlands in the suburbs.

The further you walk, the fewer people there are around.

"Teacher, you can see us from under that big tree!"

After arriving at the location Song Jingyu had given him, Lin Heng looked up and saw Song Jingyu and Yu Zhiyue hiding behind a haystack next to the farmland. They then waved to him.

"Teacher, over here! Try to conceal your spiritual energy as much as possible!"

Lin Heng nodded, deliberately concealing his spiritual energy, and then quickly walked to the two of them.

"Ah? Young Master Lin..."

Upon seeing Lin Heng approach, Yu Zhiyue was taken aback at first, then covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound.

"What did you see?"

Lin Heng asked in a low voice.

"Teacher, you...you see for yourself!"

Song Jingyu pointed outside the haystack.

Lin Heng then quietly peeked out to take a look.

As soon as he looked out, he saw several raggedly dressed demon immortals with their eyes rolled back and their bodies convulsing in a field planted with Flowing Cloud Grass.

Lin Heng's eyes widened immediately.

Because he possessed the Immortal Slave Manual, he could tell at a glance that the purity of the spiritual roots of these demon immortals had all uniformly become 0%!

Especially the sheep fairy who collapsed in the flowing cloud grass.

From Lin Heng's perspective, they could clearly see that her goat milk had already flowed onto the field...

After raising his gaze slightly, Lin Heng saw a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

"Is it this guy?"

He recognized Chu Lihai, who had disappeared from Yunling Sect, at a glance.

However, at this moment, Chu Lihai's eyes were already darkened, and his eyes had turned bloodshot.

His entire body was permeated with demonic energy emanating from his spiritual roots.

Not far away, Chu Lihai was choking a snake demon fairy by the neck while they were practicing cultivation together.

The snake fairy's eyes had become glazed over, and her clothes were tattered and torn.

As Chu Lihai practiced his cultivation technique alongside her, the snake demon fairy's venom dripped uncontrollably from the corners of her mouth...

"Young Master Lin..."

Subconsciously, Yu Zhiyue gently stood beside Lin Heng, looking at Chu Lihai ahead with lingering fear.

If it weren't for Lin Heng, I probably would have met the same fate as Chu Lihai back in the mountains!

Even after arriving in Guiyuan City, she was fortunate that the person she always trusted was Lin Heng.

Otherwise, if she had believed Chu Lihai's sweet talk back then, she didn't think her fate would have been much better than that of the snake fairy.

You should know that when Chu Lihai killed He Lie, he repeatedly told her that he had severed ties with the Dark Sect.

The results of it?

The cultivation technique that Chu Lihai is currently using when he is cultivating with that snake demon fairy is either the Dark Sect's technique that treats the fairy's spiritual root as a consumable or something else.

Holy crap!

Suddenly, Lin Heng couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

Yu Zhiyue turned to look at him, and Song Jingyu looked up at her: "Teacher, you also think it's cruel, right..."

Lin Heng's next sentence was surprisingly: "And there's actually a male cultivator who's a bull demon immortal right next to him?"

"..."

"..."

Is this really the key point?

However, Lin Heng could see that Chu Lihai's indiscriminate absorption of the spiritual roots of the demon immortals must have a purpose.

The most obvious example is Chu Lihai's level of attainment.

Originally, he was just a cultivator at the Golden Core stage.

However, after absorbing the spiritual roots of many demon immortals, his cultivation level has actually reached the late stage of the Spirit Realm!

"My son."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Chu Lihai.

Chu Lihai grabbed the snake demon fairy by the neck, threw her aside, and turned to look at Chu Jiangfeng, who was walking towards him calmly.

"Father."

Chu Lihai wiped the venom from the snake demon fairy's lips, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I've already reached the Spirit Realm. If I absorb another Golden Core Realm demon fairy, I can enter the Nascent Soul Realm and become a core disciple of the Dark Sect!"

"Um."

Chu Jiangfeng nodded in satisfaction: "Now that the Yunling Sect has nowhere for my son and me to stay, going to the Taixu Ancient Sect and seeking refuge with the Dark Sect is our only way out."

Chu Lihai sighed regretfully, "However, I've basically drained all the demon immortals in the suburbs of here, so finding the next one won't be so easy..."

"No."

Chu Jiangfeng shook his head, then looked up at Lin Heng.

"Two top-quality consumables have already been delivered to our door."
