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

To be honest, Lin Heng's dark expression wasn't without reason.

You'll know if you just look at the Slave Manual:

[Thousand-Branch Vine Sword: In the beginning of the Immortal Realm, the Goddess of Vine wielded the Thousand-Branch Vine Sword, using the essence of swordsmanship to nurture the growth of all trees. In the name of the sword, she could freely control the vast forests of the world…]

[Location: After the fall from the Immortal Realm, the Thousand-Branch Vine Sword, a keepsake entrusted to the Source Fire Sect by the Goddess Vine, fell to the mortal realm. Now, it resides deep within the underground chamber of the City Lord's Mansion in Linxian City—]

"?"

Wait, why is it only half?

Where exactly is it deep inside the underground chamber? Let's continue!

That was my first signature weapon!

Seeing that this was clearly only a partial view, Lin Heng felt like cursing.

How come the perfectly good Immortal Slave Manual is like those fragmented articles in Yangshizi?

However, he soon discovered the reason.

The effect of the Assisting Fairy Maiden is only to increase the formation by fifty percent.

So, it makes perfect sense that the unlocking process stops abruptly halfway through...

"But at least we know we're inside the city lord's mansion."

Lin Heng comforted himself for a moment, then suddenly noticed Mu Tinglan looking at him. He composed himself and said calmly, "Bring me some stone bricks."

"Yes... Master."

Although she still had doubts, Mu Tinglan nodded and did as instructed.

At this moment, Lin Heng also squatted down and focused his attention on the spirit restoration array next to the old bed.

At this point, the Immortal Slave Manual displayed two options for the Spirit Restoration Array.

[Spirit Restoration Array Upgrade: 1. Spirit Stone production has a chance to double. 2. Spirit Abundance (requires raising the loyalty of Fairy Yingyu to 100)]

Yun Qinghe's loyalty...

Lin Heng glanced at Yun Qinghe on the bed.

In the past few days, her loyalty level has only increased to 57 points.

However, the rate of increase wasn't slow, considering her loyalty started at -100...

Although he could only choose the first option for the time being, more spirit stones were more practical for Lin Heng than the incomprehensible Ling Ying.

You should know that he brought over thirty celestial servants.

The inevitable problem then is that enough spirit stones are needed to stimulate the growth of crops.

After all, Lin Heng hired them to work for him, not to starve to death here and then be buried in a hole...

After Mu Tinglan brought the stone bricks, Lin Heng began to upgrade the original Spirit Restoration Array.

Gradually...

"what?"

Yun Qinghe opened her eyes, sat up, and looked at Lin Heng and Mu Tinglan.

Just then, Lin Heng finished upgrading the Spirit Restoration Array and looked up.

Their eyes met, and Yun Qinghe stared blankly at the two of them: "Master, the spiritual energy from the Spirit Restoration Array suddenly filled me up so much..."

"?"

"?"

and many more……

Remembering the effects of the Spirit Restoration Array, Lin Heng quickly looked under the bed.

Holy crap, it really is a double yolk!

……

The night is deep.

Yun Qinghe, now filled with spiritual energy, has fallen into a comfortable sleep.

Before resting, Lin Heng took a stroll outside the slums.

Centered around his courtyard, the tents of those sorcerers had already been set up.

There was also a huge tent that was set up near the direction of Linxian Mountain.

However, from inside that giant tent, one could occasionally hear pitiful screams.

Lin Heng knew that some fairies who did not want to become celestial slaves had been affected by the Slave Spirit Seal.

The people are almost done.

All that's left is to wait until tomorrow morning for the official start of construction.

So what truly worried him was the location of the Thousand Branches Vine Sword...

Back inside the house, Lin Heng ran into Mu Tinglan coming out of her room.

She was planning to drink some water and rest.

Seeing Lin Heng stop in front of her, Mu Tinglan asked softly, "Master, is something the matter?"

"I remember you spent some time at the city lord's mansion before?"

Lin Heng asked directly.

"Um."

Mu Tinglan gently bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Even longer than when I stayed with the Snow-Maned Lion Demon."

"Do you know about the underground chamber of the City Lord's mansion?"

"An underground chamber?"

Mu Tinglan frowned slightly, then shook her head: "I've never seen it before, nor have I ever heard anyone mention it."

It seems that the underground chamber of City Lord Cao He is still a secret unknown to outsiders?

Lin Heng nodded slightly: "Then could you draw a rough map of the terrain from memory?"

"A topographic map?"

Mu Tinglan began to recall.

Scenes I had witnessed before gradually surfaced in my mind.

A sheep farm where celestial slaves are kept.

They chained the fairy slave and then chained her to the guarded warehouse at the entrance, like tethering a dog.

And then there was that pleasure room where the fairy slaves lay all over the place, and where the fairy slaves were changed regularly every morning...

"what!"

Suddenly, Mu Tinglan threw herself into Lin Heng's arms with a pained expression.

She lowered her head guiltily and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, Master. Those scenes at the City Lord's Mansion seem to have made me feel repulsed by my identity as a celestial servant..."

Loyalty -2

Loyalty -2

Loyalty -2

……

As Lin Heng helped her up, he was surprised to find that Mu Tinglan, who had never had her loyalty points deducted before, had lost her loyalty points for the first time.

And it just kept falling!

What surprised Lin Heng even more was that Mu Tinglan's pain just now actually came from the effect of the Slave Spirit Seal!

However, the reason why Mu Tinglan's slave spirit seal took effect was not because she went against her own will.

Instead, it was after Mu Tinglan recalled those memories in the City Lord's Mansion that she couldn't help but realize the lowliness of being a celestial slave, and then she felt a sense of rejection towards that identity.

This caused the slave spirit mark on her back to be triggered...

"Master, I'm sorry, it was my fault."

At this moment, Mu Tinglan lowered her head gently, her heart filled with guilt.

Her master was clearly the most benevolent master she had ever seen towards immortal slaves.

She was even denied many of the freedoms and equal rights that the former sect leader of the Yunling Sect had never granted her.

And she herself actually felt conflicted...

That's absolutely unacceptable!

After catching her breath in pain, Mu Tinglan suddenly raised her head with a determined look and looked at Lin Heng: "Master, if that terrain map is important to you... I will try to endure the pain of the Slave Spirit Seal."

"etc."

Lin Heng shook his head, raised his hand, and placed his palm on Mu Tinglan's forehead.

[Choice of the Six Desires: Intention]

At the same time, Mu Tinglan's steadily declining loyalty level came to an abrupt halt.

Lin Heng also said to her, "Alright, you can try it."

Mu Tinglan was stunned for a moment.

Because in her mind, she, the benevolent master, was not one of those demons who tormented their celestial slaves for amusement.

But now, her master actually has the heart to watch her be tortured by the slave spirit mark...

No, that's not right.

Mu Tinglan gently shook her head.

My master is definitely not one of those vulgar people.

This topographical map must be very important, which is why he had to do it this way.

Yes, that must be it.

She firmly believed this.

Thinking this, Mu Tinglan gripped the pen tightly again, preparing to face the pain of the Slave Spirit Seal.

But the moment she put down her pen, she found that nothing had happened; only Lin Heng's image appeared in her mind...
