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

After returning to the farmhouse.

Lin Heng then heard Song Jingyu's voice coming from Yu Zhiyue's room next door.

The girl was still talking to Yu Zhiyue about the Demon Calendar.

"Master, is this the place?"

Yun Qinghe found Lin Heng's room very accurately and then sat down skillfully.

"Put the Thousand Branches Vine Sword in the next room, and you can both produce spirit stones at the same time."

Lin Heng took the Thousand Branches Vine Sword from beside her and leaned it against the doorway of Yu Zhiyue.

Back in his room, he sat cross-legged on the bed and took out the purification crystal that Yun Qinghe had given him.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Heng did not absorb the spiritual energy inside, but put it back in his arms and then mobilized his own spiritual energy.

"Um?"

Yun Qinghe turned her head and looked at Lin Heng sitting next to her.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Heng opened his eyes and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, I just find it very novel."

Yun Qinghe recalled, "In the past, I always sat on the Spirit Restoration Array to produce spirit stones; my master never sat beside me."

"That's because I didn't have spiritual roots before, but that won't work now. I have to cultivate myself."

Lin Heng shrugged.

"Oh...then I can help Master too."

Yun Qinghe quietly placed her hand on the back of Lin Heng's hand, which was resting on his knee, and then took his hand and placed it on her leg, which was covered by her skirt.

The next moment, Lin Heng discovered that the flow of spiritual energy within his body had increased significantly.

However, when the spiritual root absorbed spiritual energy, it did not feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, it is even easier to absorb than usual.

Yun Qinghe said in a low voice, "After we Wood Spirit Root Fairies reach the Enlightenment Realm, we can use the Source Wood Rules to help cultivators absorb spiritual energy to become purer. When I was in the Yunling Sect, the sect leader helped me in this way."

"I didn't expect it to have this effect... Well then, let it help me cultivate."

Lin Heng nodded slowly.

Compared to the politeness and awkwardness he felt when cultivating with Yu Zhiyue, he was completely unceremonious now that he was cultivating with Yun Qinghe.

Because Yu Zhiyue can only be considered a fairy whom I met in the immortal realm, and with whom I had a somewhat ambiguous relationship.

Yun Qinghe is his first immortal slave, and her loyalty has now reached 280.

Lin Heng was not at all surprised that Yun Qinghe's loyalty had increased considerably since he arrived in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

After all, Yun Qinghe possesses the title of Fairy of Lingyu.

The effect of the Enchanting Fairy is that the longer she is separated from you, the deeper her dependence on you becomes.

So, while Lin Heng was cultivating, he felt the slenderness and suppleness of the wood spirit root beneath Yun Qinghe's skirt in his palm...

"Yes, Master, you don't need to be so polite."

Yun Qinghe nodded gently, simply placing her hand on the back of Lin Heng's hand, feeling that familiar scent.

While Lin Heng was cultivating with his eyes closed, in addition to producing spirit stones in accordance with the rules of the Spirit Restoration Array and assisting Lin Heng with the rules of the Source Wood, she would occasionally find herself glancing at Lin Heng's face.

Although she knew that the Daoist partner Lin Heng mentioned was just one of her identities in the Immortal Realm.

But isn't cultivating in this way just like a true Daoist couple?

……

The sky was getting dark.

When Lin Heng finished his cultivation, he found that he had vaguely touched the boundary of the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm.

If I absorb the purifying spirit crystal in my arms, I might be able to directly reach the late stage of the Spirit Realm.

Lin Heng did not do so because Song Jingyu unlocked the Rule Furnace after obtaining the Crimson Smoke Bell.

To construct a furnace of rules, both he and Song Jingyu need to reach the Enlightenment Realm.

Although Song Jingyu is now at the Nascent Soul Realm, she seems to be only one step away from the Enlightenment Realm.

However, the leap from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Enlightenment Realm is not as simple as the leap from the Crystallization Realm to the Golden Core Realm.

The higher the level, the greater the difficulty becomes.

Just look at Yun Yue, who is currently in seclusion at the Yunling Sect, striving to reach the Enlightenment Realm.

Even if one reaches the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, it still takes a considerable amount of time to break through to the Enlightenment Realm.

And this timeframe is determined by one's own understanding of the power of the rules.

Therefore, in Lin Heng's view, compared to himself, who possessed a chaotic spiritual root and could quickly improve by relying on the power of rules, Song Jingyu was the one who needed to purify spiritual crystals to improve.

However, the rustling sounds from next door continued, and Lin Heng did not immediately hand over the purification crystal to her. Instead, he took Yun Qinghe to the backyard of the farmhouse and asked the demon immortals to bring over stone bricks.

Compared to the oasis in the clouds, the array Lin Heng set up in the farmhouse was actually just some basic defensive arrays and arrays to assist in cultivation.

He didn't use arrays like the Goddess's Delusional Array or the Same Contract Spirit Pattern Platform at that time, partly because they weren't needed yet, and partly because these arrays were too high-level and too complicated to construct.

Now, Yun Qinghe has also arrived in the Immortal Realm through the Xiying Dream. Lin Heng then began constructing these more complex arrays while explaining his plans for the Immortal Realm to Yun Qinghe.

Upon hearing about the arrangements for the Five Elements Immortal Venerable and the Immortal Ranking, Yun Qinghe couldn't help but be somewhat surprised: "So... Master is the Five Elements Immortal Venerable that the Sect Master once heard about in the Immortal Realm?"

"Perhaps. If the real Five Source Immortal Venerable hadn't appeared, then perhaps it would have been me."

Although Lin Heng is not entirely certain yet.

However, based on the information he knew, there were no Five Source Immortal Venerables or Immortal Ranking before he entered the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm.

Whether it's a coincidence or not, the Fairy Slave Manual doesn't lie.

He clearly saw that he had already obtained the title of Five Source Immortal Venerable.

"Then... I'm sorry, Master."

He recalled how he had shown surprise at the Five Source Immortal Venerable in front of Tian Lixiu.

Yun Qinghe also lowered her head, full of apology.

Although Lin Heng didn't say it, she could guess that he wanted to give her the empty title of sect leader of an ancient sect, so that the Dark Sect would hesitate to approach her.

"It's nothing, we have the same goal anyway."

After completing the Goddess Illusion Array, Lin Heng clapped his hands, stood up, and laughed, "The title of Five Source Immortal Venerable was originally for my self-protection. Now that I have a Daoist partner in the late stage of the Enlightenment Realm, I can achieve the same effect."

"what?"

Yun Qinghe raised her head, a slight smile curving her lips, and a secret joy welled up inside her.

After all, she didn't care at all about being the sect leader of an ancient sect.

But the master's Daoist companion...

She thoroughly enjoyed this identity!

I was reminded of a conversation I had with my senior colleague a while ago.

The senior sister said that the master never treated them as mere tools or celestial slaves, and that the master, like them, possessed the most basic human emotions...

With that thought in mind, Yun Qinghe took a deep breath and mustered her courage to walk up to Lin Heng.

"Then, Master, are you truly willing to take me as your Daoist partner?"

She looked up, her gaze slightly evasive as she looked at Lin Heng.

Lin Heng glanced helplessly at Yun Qinghe.

Even with a title like "Enchanting Fairy," can't she save herself from the somewhat dull nature of a Wood Spirit Root?

Lin Heng then calmly said, "I'm a little tired, but there's still the Immortal Lord's Spirit Pattern Platform to be constructed."

"Tired... Ohhh!"

Hearing Lin Heng's obvious hint, even the slow-witted Yun Qinghe finally understood.

This is the master reminding me to help him relax!

No, it shouldn't be "master".

"Then, let Qinghe relieve your husband's fatigue."

Yun Qinghe walked up, then gently put her arms around Lin Heng's neck and stood on tiptoe...
