He's obviously the villain, but the heroine is all for him?

"Brother~Here!"

Mu Chixuan pulled him into the courtyard, then let go of him and ran to knock on the door.

"Master, Master, Master, Master! Open the door! Someone's coming!"

Ling Yun was not surprised by her behavior. Cong Juan had told him before coming that this girl had a terrifying title.

Alchemy!

She would often, out of mischievous humor, mix her own pills into the monthly allowance issued by the Sun and Moon Palace, embarrassing many disciples.

Those disciples and elders could only suffer in silence. After all, Mu Chixuan's status was somewhat special, and the positive effects of the elixir were indeed very good, so they had nothing to say.

Until one time, a disciple took a pill to replenish spiritual energy while fighting an enemy outside. Then he fought with the enemy while having diarrhea, and finally smoked the opponent away.

After this incident, his master, the weapon refining elder Chai Xinkuan brought him to Beidao Peak to question him. Mu Chixuan was punished with a month of confinement and never mixed pills into his medicine again.

Wu Yong was regulating his breathing and preparing to make the elixir, but being disturbed by her, he could only walk out angrily.

He immediately spotted Ling Yun outside, and his old face, which was full of anger, immediately calmed down. "So it's the young master who has arrived. I wonder what you want from me?"

He was somewhat dissatisfied with the way Ling Yun handled the Xiao family, but he could guess that it was probably Tai Shuying's instruction, otherwise Ling Yun would not dare to do so.

Just as he guessed, when everyone was arguing that day, Tai Shuying sent a message asking him not to cancel the engagement, and that the more important purpose of going to the Xiao family was to find the key.

"Elder Wu, I'm here on the orders of the sect leader to ask for a Tianxin Pill." Cong Juan said.

"I do have the Tianxin Pill, but...it may not be helpful for the young master's physique."

Wu Yong was well aware of Ling Yun's physique problem. Since the rise of mankind over the past million years, a "nine-leakage body" would appear every once in a while. This kind of physique could not be seen in the Body Tempering Realm, and the cultivation speed was even very fast. However, once it reached the Vein Condensation Realm, it would be difficult to move forward.

Once upon a time, the father of a man with nine leaky bodies was a powerful emperor. To solve this problem, this emperor visited various powerful masters throughout the Taixuan Realm, spending a great deal of time before finally finding a viable solution. He had a long lifespan, but his son with nine leaky bodies could not live that long. When he returned, the child was already dead.

This big man's martial spirit is considered to be the pro max version of the old Taoist priest. Before he passed away, he engraved the things he predicted and the method to solve the Nine Leakage Physical Constitution on a stone tablet.

Countless years later, a monk discovered the secret place where he passed away and found the stone tablet. He used it as the foundation of his sect and established his own sect.

This cultivator inherited the master's martial arts method "Xuan Di Zhen Jing", and took the "Xuan" of Xuan Di as an introduction to name the sect as Xuanling Sect!

Wu Yong’s alchemy skills are indeed good, but they are far inferior to Yao Shuang, not to mention solving the problem of the Nine Leaky Body. He doesn’t have the ability to do so, you know!

Wu Yong was not a stingy person, so he took out the pill box and handed it to Ling Yun.

"Young Master, you can swallow it now. I will help you protect it."

"Thank you, Elder Wu!"

Ling Yun was also a little excited. He would never be able to refine this seventh-grade elixir even if he was beaten to death. After all, it represented the realm of destiny!

He immediately sat down cross-legged, opened the box under the gaze of several people, took out the Tianxin Pill and swallowed it.

The effect of Tianxin Pill is countless times stronger than Peiyuan Pill. Ling Yun only felt a burning sensation in his body, as if a nine-sky dragon was shuttling through his meridians!

His breakthrough to the Stepping Star Realm this time was not due to a sudden enlightenment from the system, but rather a self-breakthrough, so his realm was a little unstable. The Tianxin Pill quickly stabilized it completely and began to try to repair the loopholes in his body.

Wu Yong also looked at Ling Yun nervously, hoping that his elixir would be of some use.

Unfortunately, things went against one's wishes. For Ling Yun's Nine-Leaked Body, the effect of the medicine was just a drop in the bucket and soon dissipated.

Cong Juan revealed a hint of disappointment on her face, and Tai Shuying in the room also showed an expression of "as expected".

"It's a pity that we're still missing one main ingredient..."

Inside Beidao Peak, Ling Yun stood up from the ground and bowed to Wu Yong: "I would like to thank Elder Wu here."

"Young Master, don't worry. The Sect Master will have a way to deal with your physical condition."

"Yeah, I'm used to it."

Ling Yun's carefree smile made Mu Chixuan's face flush with excitement.

Hmm... I just touched the young master's abdominal muscles... It feels so good, let me try it again!

She staggered to Ling Yun's side and took Ling Yun's arm in front of Wu Yong's embarrassed face.

"Chixuan, don't be rude!"

"Oh, Master! The young master didn't object, what are you talking about?"

Wu Yong was so angry at this disciple that he blew his beard and glared: "I'm afraid your temper will offend the young master!"

"Brother, you don't mind if I hold your arm, right?"

Mu Chixuan blinked her starry eyes and looked at Ling Yun. The latter naturally didn't mind and said with a smile: "Elder Wu, it's okay."

Wu Yong knew that Mu Chixuan was just pretending, but since the young master was happy with it, he couldn't say much and could only take his leave and go back into the house to continue refining the elixir.

Just as Cong Juan was about to say something, Tai Shuying asked her to go back first.

"Junior Sister Mu, take the young master for a walk. I'll go back first."

"Oh, okay, okay, go ahead!"

Mu Chixuan's eyes rolled, and he had already thought of some scenes.

After Cong Juan left, Mu Chixuan wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and under the pretext of going to collect herbs, he took Ling Yun farther and farther away, and then plunged into a sparsely populated forest.

After they walked for a while, Ling Yun suddenly stopped and looked at the black fungus on the rotten wood beside him.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Mu Chixuan pretended to lose her balance and fell into his arms, grabbing him from below.

Oh my god, could it be that senior brother has hidden a spirit snake in his clothes?

Ling Yun was so furious with her that he planned to punish the little girl later. Although he suppressed his emotions, he came to the rotten wood.

He took out the Demon-Slaying Sword and cut off a piece of rotten wood.

"Brother, the quality of your sword is a bit low. How about asking Uncle Chai to forge a new one for you?"

Ling Yun then remembered that he still had a piece of Thunder Crystal, but this good thing was enough to rival an Emperor-level (ninth-grade) weapon, and he estimated that he didn't have a suitable sword blank for the time being.

"Well, in a little while."

"After a while? Hmm, I suddenly remembered that in just over a month, our new disciple competition will be held. I heard that the rewards this time are very good... But brother, you can just ask the sect leader directly for anything you want."

Competition for new disciples?

Ling Yun became interested: "Junior Sister Mu, can I sign up?"

"Any disciple whose bone age is under 25 years old can sign up. Brother, are you older than that?"

"No."

"Then you can participate, Brother. With your strength at the Starry Realm, you will definitely achieve good results!"

Ling Yun was interested and planned to sign up.

He participated not for the reward, but to find the "protagonist".

This kind of competition between disciples is often a performance show for the "protagonists". Just find those disciples who are usually inconspicuous and will make a big splash in this competition!

In addition, given his identity as the young master of villains, he will definitely clash with them!

"By the way, Senior Brother, what are you doing with this broken fungus?"

"This isn't some broken wood ear mushroom, it's the King of Wood Ear Mushrooms, the main ingredient in refining the fourth-grade Five Elements Pill!"

The Five Elements Pill has similar effects to the Qi Nourishing Pill and the Soul Condensing Pill. After taking it, it can improve the Star-Stepping Realm cultivator's realm by 1-2 levels.

"Eh?"

Mu Chixuan leaned forward to take a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a golden line-like outline on the edge of the wood ear.

"Brother, you have a very good eye... No, brother, you can actually recognize the Woodfur King. Can you also make pills?"

It is normal for ordinary cultivators to know the names of some elixirs, but it is not normal to know the medicinal ingredients of a certain elixir and even recognize them.

"I know a little bit."

"I think senior brother knows a lot~" Mu Chixuan whispered again. She used to think that falling in love at first sight was a story in picture books, but now she realized that there really is such a thing as love at first sight in the world.

I am not as strong as my senior brother, so it may not be possible to force my way back... Then, should I feed him medicine?

When Mu Chixuan was racking his brains to think of how to trick Ling Yun into taking his "special" elixir, he suddenly heard angry shouts coming from not far away.

"go!"

Ling Yun smelled the bloody scent in the air. He summoned the Ghost-Slaying Sword, and he and Mu Chixuan stepped on the sword and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.

The Star-Stepping Realm allows for short periods of flight, but the two were forced to land after flying only a few miles.

But here you can already see what's happening.

A blood-soaked disciple battled a giant toad. Two figures lay on the ground, still breathing. The toad had become a demonic beast. It could have killed several people directly, but it seemed to be toying with them, refusing to kill them.

"Damn it! I didn't expect there would be wild monsters in our Xuanling Sect!"

"I guess he was just promoted."

Ling Yun sheathed his sword, jumped out of the forest, and said to the disciple, "I'm here to help you!"

Chapter 154 Junior Sister

The disciple was delighted when he heard Ling Yun's voice, but when he turned around and saw his appearance, he became depressed again.

He is a completely unfamiliar man. Although he is very handsome, that can't be used to make a living!

He was in the late Xuanling stage, and the monster in front of him was almost invincible to those at the Stepping Star Realm. Although there were many disciples in the sect, those at the Stepping Star Realm were not common among the inner sect. He basically knew that Ling Yun was not among them.

He glanced at the two colleagues lying on the ground, and seeing Ling Yunzhen preparing to come over, he gritted his teeth and said, "Junior brother, hurry up and call the elders over!"

When the big toad saw Lingyun coming, it made a loud croaking sound.

Another ration has arrived!

Humans eat everything, and their flesh and blood are also a great tonic for monsters, especially those who have practiced cultivation!

Ling Yun didn't waste any time talking to it. He rushed to the big toad and put his right hand on the hilt of the sword.

This was his first time dealing with an enemy at the Star-Stepping Realm, so naturally he wouldn't hold back at all.

His divine eyes opened, and golden cloud patterns appeared between his eyebrows.

The art of cutting the sky and drawing the sword!

The disciple could only see a flash of white light on Lingyun's silver-white sword handle, and then the body of the big toad was split in two!

This powerful sword killed the big toad instantly and saved him from life and death.

"Master... Senior Brother, thank you very much!"

The disciple, covered in blood, bowed repeatedly and then immediately went to check the injuries of his two fellow disciples lying on the ground.

Fortunately, their injuries were not serious and they only needed to take healing pills and rest for two days.

He helped the two of them up, and did not forget to say to Ling Yun: "Forgive my ignorance, but may I know your name, Senior Brother?"

"Ling Yun."

"Okay, I'll take note. I'm Beidao Feng Jiangfeng... Senior Sister!"

Mu Chixuan ran over with shining eyes, and Jiang Feng nodded and bowed hurriedly when he saw her.

Although he is a disciple of Beidao Peak, Mu Chixuan is the direct disciple of the great elder Wu Yong, so they all have to respectfully call her senior sister.

"You guys should go back soon."

Mu Chixuan threw out three healing pills, and Yao Jiangfeng caught them with a twitching expression. Although he knew there would be some strange side effects, he could only grit his teeth and give them to the two of them, then swallowed them himself with his eyes closed.

In order not to embarrass himself in front of Mu Chixuan, he immediately returned to the top of the mountain with his fellow disciples.

"Senior brother~"

Mu Chixuan hugged his waist and looked at the huge toad corpse in front of him with disgust on his face: "This ugly toad is too disgusting, brother, let's go quickly!"

"Don't worry, there are still treasures on it."

Ling Yun used the Demon-Slaying Sword to cut off the bumps on the toad's back. These were all medicinal herbs and might be useful in the future.

Ling Yun came from the lower realm, and these treasures are not common, so he developed a habit of collecting them.

Mu Chixuan is a typical spoiled girl. She has seen too many treasures and doesn't even want to touch such disgusting things.

The scenery here is pretty good and the terrain is flat, so Ling Yun plans to start refining the elixir.
