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

You'll get used to it.

Lin Heng shrugged helplessly.

One is arrogant and proud, while the other is proud and unwilling to be outdone.

Of course, neither of them wanted to lose to the other.

They had quite a few rivalries back in their home in the Cloud Oasis...

"But it's quite interesting."

Yu Zhiyue stared intently at the two who were still arguing.

Although she already knew that Song Jingyu and Yun Qinghe came from the Demon Calendar era where spiritual energy was depleted.

But in her eyes, the fact that the two of them could get along like this was far better than when she was in the spiritually rich immortal realm.

Because of her uncle's persecution, she was forced to live in seclusion in the mountains, and the only person she could talk to was a spirit fox she happened to meet...

"Forget it, forget it, it's impossible to calculate!"

Suddenly, Song Jingyu waved her hand, then looked up at Lin Heng and Yu Zhiyue with a mischievous grin.

"Teacher, Sister Zhiyue, you two seem to be quite different?"

The next moment, Song Jingyu said smugly, "All of you combined only killed five or six Dark Sect disciples!"

"Well……"

Yu Zhiyue pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but remembering that Song Jingyu had been quite nice to her, she remained silent.

But Lin Heng showed no mercy to Song Jingyu, bluntly stating, "Jingyu, you can't even calculate exactly what twenty-five minus twenty equals?"

"Huh?"

Song Jingyu, however, asked in confusion, "I know there are twenty-five, a total of twenty-five Dark Sect disciples. But where did you get the twenty you mentioned, Teacher?"

"..."

Lin Heng simply rolled his eyes.

Teaching this girl math is too much trouble.

After looking at the purification crystals, he said to Yu Zhiyue, "It seems that the highest level among these purification crystals is only Golden Core Realm... I'll keep two late-stage Golden Core Crystals and give the rest to you."

"Fairy Yu, you can take it yourself."

After selecting a few purification spirit crystals at the late Golden Core stage and handing them to Lin Heng, Yun Qinghe simply said to Yu Zhiyue.

"Hmm... okay then!"

This time, Yu Zhiyue wasn't too coy. After nodding, she took out a cloth bag and a ring from her bosom and handed them to Song Jingyu and Yun Qinghe respectively. "Jingyu is right. With my strength, I really can't help much in dealing with these Dark Sect disciples. So consider this a gift from me to you two."

"These are... seeds of the Crimson Velvet Flower?!"

Song Jingyu opened the cloth bag and immediately looked at Yu Zhiyue with shining eyes. Then she pounced on Yu Zhiyue and shoved her face into hers—

mua!

"Sister Zhiyue, I always said you're better than Sister Tinglan and Big Dog!"

"..."

Yu Zhiyue blushed.

Yun Qinghe also examined the ring, then looked at Yu Zhiyue: "This ring... is it for spatial storage?"

"Yes, I brought it from the Imperial Palace, but this ring is slightly inferior to the one I gave to Young Master Lin."

Yu Zhiyue glanced at Lin Heng's fingertips, then somewhat embarrassedly clasped her hands together in front of her skirt and said, "Young Master Lin's ring can even hold many arrays, but this one probably can only hold a box of spirit stones..."

"It's fine, we can use them to store these purification crystals later."

Yun Qinghe nodded gently; she didn't seem to mind.

"cough."

Just then, Song Jingyu suddenly coughed lightly in her ear.

"Sister Zhiyue, stop hiding it! I can clearly see that you're wearing the same ring as the teacher!"

"..."

In an instant, Yu Zhiyue's ears turned red.

"No, that's not how it is."

Yu Zhiyue quickly explained, "This was a gift from my grandfather, so it has a special meaning..."

"Jingyu, this was originally Fairy Yu's kind offer, how can you insist on taking it?"

Yun Qinghe frowned, then said gently to Yu Zhiyue, "Fairy Yu, we are already very grateful for this gift."

"Well, then I'm glad Fairy Yun likes it... Oh, right! I haven't fed the spirit fox yet today, I'll go to the backyard and pick some fruit!"

After saying that, Yu Zhiyue ran to the back of the house first.

"Um?"

Yun Qinghe looked at Yu Zhiyue's back with a puzzled expression.

Song Jingyu sighed and said, "Although I really don't want to praise Sister Tinglan, she's absolutely right! Sister, you're such a blockhead!"

At the same time, she winked at Lin Heng.

Lin Heng said calmly, "Why are you looking at me? After resting for a while, go and extract the essence from the spirit herb."

"Oh right, I haven't finished my work for today!"

Song Jingyu then remembered that Lin Heng had assigned her a task.

"Then, shall I go and collect spirit stones too?"

Yun Qinghe spoke up.

"Um."

……

With the purification spirit crystals transformed from Dark Sect disciples, Lin Heng now has "monster hunting" as an additional option in his daily schedule.

As they purified the Dark Sect disciples who had been turned into demons day by day, the cultivators who had fled from the surrounding cities to Guiyuan City also praised Lin Heng and the others highly.

Thus, the prestige of the Five Source Immortals and the ancient sects under their command rose even higher in Guiyuan City!

Even many sects that have not yet joined the Immortal Alliance are determined to write the name of the Five Source Immortal Venerable into their sect's annals.

After all, if it weren't for the intervention of the Five Sources Immortal Venerables, the spiritual energy they cultivated would probably have already turned into demonic energy that corrupts the mind...

For Lin Heng, the real benefit of killing these Dark Sect disciples was the purification of spirit crystals.

Except for the first day when there were no Dark Sect disciples whose strength truly matched his Spirit Realm level, in the following days, demons of similar level to him were killed.

As a result, Lin Heng's strength broke through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm.

But apart from him, the one whose strength improved the most was actually Yu Zhiyue.

After all, Yu Zhiyue's Golden Core realm was the strength of most Dark Sect disciples.

So on the night Lin Heng broke through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Realm, he also called Yu Zhiyue, who was preparing to break through to the Spirit Realm, to his room.

Just like when they broke through to the Golden Core Realm, they guided each other using the power of the rules of their own spiritual roots...

While the two were focused on their breakthrough, Yun Qinghe and Song Jingyu were naturally in the room protecting them.

As she watched, Yun Qinghe's gaze would occasionally fall on Lin Heng's outstretched hand.

"Jingyu, you...you watch first."

After Lin Heng's fingertips, which were resting on Yu Zhiyue's chest, twitched slightly, Yun Qinghe pursed her thin lips, then turned and walked out of the house.

"Um?"

Song Jingyu looked back at Yun Qinghe's back and quietly followed her out.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she saw Yun Qinghe pick up the Thousand Branches Vine Sword, which was placed at the door of Yu Zhiyue's room and was producing spirit stones.

Song Jingyu was shocked and rushed over, calling out, "Hey, sister, please don't do anything rash!"
