I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Zero One was also completely fooled, as it seemed to make sense.

She almost forgot that she wanted to tell Lin Yi about a clue she could provide.

But Lin Yi's interruption made Lingyi feel that she was losing face.

If Lin Yi directly admitted that he was in trouble, wouldn't she be able to take pity on him and offer to help?

This man is such a headache! How could Lingling like this guy?!

"In short, that's how it is."

Lin Yi gave a concluding speech, and the family meeting seemed to be coming to an end. Ling Yi couldn't keep up the act any longer, and having been urged by Ling Ling, she could only say, "Regarding this, I actually have something to add."

"???"

Lin Yi looked at Lingyi, signaling her to speak directly.

"The Heaven-Slaying Treasure Vault contains items that can rapidly enhance one's cultivation level, enough to arm at least a thousand-strong army. Relying on one's own cultivation is less effective than finding the Heaven-Slaying Treasure Vault first."

Who told you that?

"Zhang Jiao!"

Lin Yi: "..."

He always felt that Zhang Jiao was strange.

She is the Earth Mother of the Pure Heaven Sect, which was originally the Yellow Heaven Sect. The founder of the Yellow Heaven Sect was named Zhang Jiao, which has the same pronunciation as Zhang Jiao.

Is it possible that she was actually the Heavenly General from back then?

He simply used the incarnation technique, adopting the alias Zhang Jiao?

Or is it that she appeared in person, but the historians who wrote the history books never saw Zhang Jiao in person, and a slight error occurred during the transmission of the information?

Lin Yi didn't know, but there was definitely something wrong with Zhang Jiao, which made him even more suspicious now, since he already didn't quite trust her.

However, the information she provided should be correct; it's just unclear what her purpose was in sending him to the Heavenly Treasury.

After thinking it over, Lin Yi decided to have an open and honest talk with her.

Let's talk about it after the meeting!

“I understand about this matter. I will find a way to retrieve the Heavenly Treasury. Let’s get back to business! Speaking of the Heavenly Treasury, I have two golden statues here.”

Lin Yi took out the Rat and Rooster zodiac animals, bringing the total number of zodiac animals he possessed to five.

"Shang'er, I think the Rat zodiac sign suits you quite well. You can try to integrate it; you don't have to force yourself."

Lin Yi handed the little golden figure to Shang Chang'er, who couldn't help but pout. Although her master had given her a treasure, it made her a little unhappy.

Why is she a mouse?

Because she's cunning?

The sullen Shang Chang'er tried to communicate with the Rat zodiac sign using her mind as soon as she got it, and as a result, she successfully merged with it on the first try.

Are they really that compatible?

This was the first time Lin Yi had ever seen anything like this. Bai Lianxian's snake and Su Xian'er's dog had both turned the little golden statue yellow, which was somewhat incongruous.

Even so, they are still true to themselves.

But Shang Chang'er actually succeeded right away; she's human!

Could it be that the compatibility between humans and metal people is actually easier?

Lin Yi was willing to give it a try, but he only had one zodiac rooster left. He didn't know which animal would be suitable for him, so he decided to just put it away!

While Lin Yi was still in astonishment, Shang Chang'er had already begun experimenting with her abilities.

It's like getting a new toy; you have to try it out first.

Soon, Shang Chang'er disappeared.

Although her invisibility was as good as non-existent in Lin Yi's eyes, others could no longer see her.

Shang Chang'er felt that she could also spread diseases to those around her, releasing pathogenic energy and weakening them.

As for the urge to drill holes and grind her teeth, Shang Chang'er resisted and did not experiment with it.

Another ability is eavesdropping.

However, her eyesight would deteriorate when she was eavesdropping.

While drilling underground increases the range of eavesdropping, it also leads to a greater decline in eyesight.

"How about it?"

Lin Yi patiently waited for Shang Chang'er to finish testing all her abilities. Seeing how much fun she was having, he figured she must be doing quite well.

Ah Qi was somewhat saddened.

Even though I only used you as a tool, we still spent so much time together. Aren't you even a little sad that your master killed me?

Hmph, what a cold-hearted person!

"I have four abilities, but I feel there are more, but I can't use them right now."

"Not bad, that's already very impressive."

Even with his high level of cultivation, the Rat Taoist only mastered five or six abilities.

Shang Chang'er is currently just an ordinary cultivator, yet she already possesses four abilities, which shows how well she is compatible with the zodiac sign of the Rat.

We could try giving Qu Jing the Tiger zodiac animal in the future; I wonder if that would bring out her strengths.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone's tired, go and get some rest."

A lot happened today, and I'm really tired. He Dong even fought with Qianhuan Guiji, which left her mentally and physically exhausted.

But she was the last to leave, and after everyone else had gone, she turned back to Lin Yi's side.

"What's wrong, Dong'er? What's the matter?"

He Dong blushed slightly and didn't know how to start the conversation.

What she wanted to say was that among these people, apart from Jiang Linglong who had already been sealed away, only she and Lin Yi had not yet consummated their marriage.

She didn't have a physical body before, but she does now.

only……

It's not appropriate for a girl like her to bring up such a thing.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you that I have achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head. I've wanted to tell you this for a while, but I haven't had the chance."

There are many hidden meanings in those words. Others may be clueless about palace intrigue, but He Dong has truly come up through the ranks of struggle step by step. Knowing how to hide meaning in words is an essential skill for him.

The three flowers gathering at the top of her head suggest that she has a physical body.

It is impossible to cultivate the Three Flowers without a physical body.

The fact that she couldn't find a chance to talk to Lin Yi was a subtle way of implying that Lin Yi wasn't close to her and that it was difficult for her to even have a conversation.

Lin Yi didn't understand the previous meaning, but he did hear the resentment in her words.

He also felt a lot of guilt.

He Dong was the person he initially fell in love with, but after she started having many other women around her, He Dong's presence diminished considerably.

She wasn't a talkative person; except when she was alone with him, she observed more than spoke in front of others.

If Lin Yi had spent more time with her, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

Ultimately, it was because he didn't care enough about He Dong.

He Dong didn't blame Lin Yi. Lin Yi's growth rate was too fast. Obviously, he was burdened with some kind of destiny from the beginning.

However, her growth pace was far behind Lin Yi's, so it was natural that she was left behind.

It was enough that Lin Yi was willing to stop and look at her.

She spoke to Lin Yi alone tonight not to complain to him, but because she was influenced by Qianhuan Guiji's words.

The future is uncertain, and success or failure is highly likely; it could all come to nothing.

Since that's the case, she should do something. She can't just be like Linglong, waiting to get married to Lin Yi, only to have this happen when the wedding date is approaching.

She was also secretly worried.

Her cultivation level is currently stuck at the crucial point of 1,999 years, and she dares not loosen it at all.

The reason is simple: she sensed that taking this step might bring unpredictable dangers.

The tribulation will come again, and she may not be able to stop it.

Although she has already passed through the great formation and has a physical body, she should be considered human.

But at the same time, she also has the characteristics of a ghost.

Therefore, having reached this limit of cultivation, He Dong could only advance on the path of human cultivation and dared not strengthen his cultivation as a ghost.

If one day he really can't suppress it anymore and fails to overcome the tribulation, He Dong feels that he will definitely regret it.

She and Lin Yi haven't officially become husband and wife yet!

and so……

Her purpose in staying is quite clear.

Lin Yi simply didn't think about it that way.

He Dong is a lady from a prominent family. She was a human being before and still has human concepts.

He currently only has three women: Qu Jing was forced into it, and Su Xian'er and Bai Lianxian are both demons, whose thoughts are different from humans.

So nothing really happened between Lin Yi, He Dong, and Jiang Linglong.

Lin Yi assumed He Dong was seeking tenderness, so he readily embraced her.

"It's because I haven't cared enough for you. Without realizing it, you've become stronger too."

“I understand that you have a heavy burden on your shoulders.”

He Dong held Lin Yi in his arms, feeling very secure.

However, simply holding on like this isn't enough to take the next step!
