I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

When they first met, she revealed her true appearance, and Lin Yi was amazed. Later, when she asked to become his disciple, she stated her conditions, and Lin Yi argued her case.

After that, Lin Yi made a coat out of the pelt of the fox spirit they had killed together and gave it to her, saying in a wronged tone, "Master, don't you miss me?"

Thinking of the scene of Lin Yi sacrificing himself to stop Bai Li, the scene of grabbing the Demon-Slaying Sword with his bare hands to save her, and the resolute determination to let her leave even if it meant enduring the pain himself, Qu Jing understood.

Lin Yi probably liked her.

This made Qu Jing feel a little shy, after all, she was Lin Yi's mentor.

However, she didn't dislike Lin Yi, nor was she angry. Lin Yi hadn't done anything improper from beginning to end.

Lin Yi might be in danger right now, and she certainly couldn't just sit idly by.

Qu Jing sheathed her sword and walked to Lin Yi's side. A delicate fragrance wafted into Lin Yi's nose, making him feel somewhat overwhelmed. Qu Jing took Lin Yi's wrist with her slender hand and checked his pulse. Sure enough, his blood and energy were surging, just like her apprentice's.

The liver is damaged, probably because of the use of the Five Spirits Returning to the Origin method.

Qu Jing was knowledgeable in medicine. After taking Lin Yi's pulse, she immediately saw the problem.

"You are in danger right now. Excessive Qi and blood is the trigger, while excessive heart fire is the root cause."

Qi and blood are like firewood; excessive qi and blood will cause the heart fire to burn ever brighter. Now it's not just a matter of excess qi and blood, but that the heart fire has already ignited. If the fire isn't extinguished, it may damage the five internal organs. Once the five internal organs are completely consumed, even a god cannot save them.

This is why yin cannot produce life alone, yang cannot grow alone, things will inevitably reverse when they reach their extremes, and extreme prosperity will lead to harm. Developing a single attribute to its extreme will harm both oneself and others. Therefore, those who cultivate the Tao never pursue limits, but rather seek balance and harmony.

"Then how do we put out the fire?"

Lin Yi knew he was in a bad situation; a false fire had already ignited within him, and if he didn't control it, it would become a real fire.

The fire within him was actually more dangerous than Qu Jing had described; the initial spark, however, came from a heavenly tribulation.

The tribulation can be said to have passed, but it is not completely over.

Lin Yi has gathered a 500-year-old demon and a 400-year-old monster. No problem here. To perform a blood sacrifice, he only needs to reach an average age of 400 years to complete the task.

Lin Yi pondered that adding a nine-hundred-year-old monster to a one-hundred-year-old demon would make it about right, wouldn't it?

However, the Demon-Slaying Manual calculates the cultivation level after coefficient conversion.

In other words, Lin Yi only accumulated 1,500 years of cultivation in total, averaging less than 400 years. This first tribulation lost 99% of its power, leaving only a tiny spark.

This wouldn't normally be a big problem. Under normal circumstances, this spark wouldn't be enough to kill Lin Yi; it would be quickly extinguished by his powerful physique.

Originally, the five elements were fixed, and the kidney water could be used to extinguish the fire. However, because the essence and blood were too abundant, the kidney water not only failed to extinguish the fire, but was also thrown here by that unknown thing, which then lit a fire for him.

The Demon-Slaying Manual lacks human wisdom. Didn't it know to use the Turtle Prime Minister's cultivation to overcome his tribulation and leave behind Mr. Sang's five hundred years of cultivation? Now, the Turtle Prime Minister's seven hundred years of cultivation is just adding fuel to the fire. With the accumulation of multiple buffs, Lin Yi is about to burst into flames.

This is different from the fire that burned He Dong back then. Hers was an external fire, while Lin Yi's was an internal fire. He didn't even know how to extinguish it.

Now that Qu Jing was speaking so logically, Lin Yi naturally had to ask her questions.

Qu Jing's face was slightly flushed. Although she had made a decision, she still found it difficult to say it out loud.

But the situation was urgent, so she didn't hesitate too much, though her expression was a little unnatural, and said, "Harmonize Yin and Yang, use water to extinguish fire."

Coincidentally, she belongs to the water element in the Five Elements theory.

Qu Jing only said eight words, and Lin Yi thought about it for a moment and immediately understood what she meant, his eyes showing some surprise.

"This is not appropriate."

“There’s nothing wrong with it. You saved my life, so it’s time for me to repay you.”

Lin Yi was initially somewhat tempted. After all, Qu Jing was beautiful, had a good figure, and a gentle personality. Any normal man would be moved by such a beautiful woman offering herself to him, especially since he was not quite normal at the moment.

However, hearing her say that, Lin Yi's resolve only grew stronger.

"There's no need for that. I might be able to get through this on my own. Besides, do you know who I am...?"

"I don't need to know who you are."

Qu Jing interrupted Lin Yi, afraid that if Lin Yi revealed her identity, she would be too ashamed to face anyone. Although it was a self-deceptive act, it would at least save face.

"All I know is that you are a very intelligent person with a strong sense of justice. As long as you continue to slay demons and uphold justice in the future, I will not regret anything I have done today. Without further ado, let's begin!"

After saying that, Qu Jing sat down next to Lin Yi.

Although she had made a decision, she didn't know what to do next, since she had no prior experience.

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine. You're testing your cadres like this? Which cadre can withstand such a test?

This is tantamount to betraying one's master and ancestors!

He originally wanted to reveal his identity, but when Qu Jing leaned against him through gritted teeth, Lin Yi dared not say anything.

No matter how things develop, once he takes off his mask, the relationship between the master and disciple will be awkward from now on.

If Lin Yi could still restrain himself before Qu Jing came over, now he really couldn't resist anymore.

Qu Jing's faint fragrance kept wafting into his nose, making him want to crawl into her hair and smell it properly.

"No, no, if it's not mutual, what's the difference between this and a one-night stand? I'd rather do it myself than touch her!"

Lin Yi closed his eyes, trying to remain calm.

In the shadows, a formless mass of dark matter silently watched all this, and a sense of awe arose within it.

"There is such a pure-hearted person in the world; he will surely become a sage in the future."

She's best at stirring up people's emotions and desires, easily manipulating them at will, but that's really boring.

Right now, an interesting man has appeared.

He wasn't without desires; what was remarkable was that even though he was clearly attracted to the people around him, he managed to restrain himself.

If this isn't a sage, then who is?

So... isn't it the most interesting thing to make the wise fall?

Seeing that Lin Yi was still restraining himself, Mo Ling found it amusing.

If you can't break through Lin Yi's defenses, surely you can break through others'?

"Let me add fuel to the fire!"

Seeing that Lin Yi could remain unmoved by her presence, Qu Jing felt even more favorably disposed towards him.

It seems that her choice today was the right one.

Seeing that Lin Yi's body was getting hotter and hotter, it might be too late if they didn't help him soon.

Qu Jing glanced at the statues of various shapes and sizes, her eyes gradually hardening.

Lin Yi had just managed to suppress his inner fire a little when he saw Qu Jing's resolute eyes and was immediately shocked.

Don't come any closer!

A faint pink mist began to rise from the palace, gradually engulfing the two of them.

A poem says: ...

……

Inside the Crystal Palace, Jiang Linglong, who was fast asleep, suddenly awoke. She lifted the coffin lid and slowly sat up.

She just had a dream in which she married Lin Yi, bowed to heaven and earth, and was about to enter the bridal chamber when the bride was suddenly replaced.

The person's appearance was blurry, and I can't remember it now, but it definitely wasn't her.

Jiang Linglong woke up in a fit of anger on the spot, and the coffin lid flew far away.

That doesn't matter, the crystal coffin is sturdy anyway, it can be restored even if you bite into it.

Who is disturbing my peaceful sleep?

Jiang Linglong is angry.

After many years, she finally managed to fall asleep and had a rare, happy dream, but the dream took a turn for the worse at the end.

Jiang Linglong was about to leave in a huff, but when she reached the entrance of the Crystal Palace, she sensed that something was wrong.

Her innate ability is to sense the flow of qi and blood; no being whose cultivation level is lower than hers can escape her perception.

The Xiang River used to be very calm, but tonight it's teeming with demons and monsters.

The world changed after I took a nap?

Chapter 134 Jiang Linglong's Fire

On the Xiang River, the strange phenomenon is becoming smaller and smaller.

The firelight had receded into the heart of the river, and more and more people rushed over after receiving the news, including many second-rank cultivators.

Bao Sanniang led the Jingye Division on patrols everywhere, without resting for a moment.

She has already slain more than a dozen monsters with her sword, yet the number of victims continues to rise.

"Will Lin Yi take so long to take care of Guan Buping?"

Bao Sanniang was extremely busy and felt a little irritated when she thought of Lin Yi.

Could this guy have deserted?

She had even considered taking him as her apprentice, but she never expected that Lin Yi would actually desert his post in the face of such a major event!

This time, she misjudged the situation.

"Brothers, hang in there a little longer. It's past the hour of Chou (1-3 AM). Just wait until dawn."

Bao Sanniang encouraged her men, while Pei Qian, who was exhausted, couldn't help but complain, "We've worked ourselves to the bone, but not a single person from the surrounding prefectures has been sent out! Especially Xingsha Prefecture, they haven't sent a single person recently either. I wonder what Guan Buping's new chief constable is thinking."

"Alright, no need to say more, just do your own thing."

Although Bao Sanniang was also angry, there was no use complaining at this point.

Pei Qian didn't say anything more, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He had already fanned the flames. Bao Sanniang was calm on the surface, but she was definitely holding back her anger. She would vent it on Guan Buping later.

As the patrol team passed by, two figures emerged from the shadows; they were Mr. Liu and Wu De.

Upon hearing the news of the appearance of the celestial artifact, the two met up. The reason was simple: they both thought the other had released the news, and at one moment, they were both moved.

I only wanted to use him, but he took it seriously. Sigh, I've lost another good brother!

When the two met, they discovered that the news of the immortal artifact's emergence had absolutely nothing to do with them. But damn it, an immortal artifact really did appear, and the commotion was quite significant.

Both the human and the demon were dumbfounded. They had initially thought their fabricated rumors were so outrageous that they had never even considered actually carrying out the plan. But reality turned out to be even more outrageous—a magical artifact had actually appeared.
