My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

"I hope you're here on behalf of the Meteorite Faction to deliver half of this month's income to me."

Lin Ye took a sip of tea and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Drink up."

His nonchalant attitude made Bai Yue feel even more uncomfortable.

Bai Yue touched the teacup with her fingertips, then immediately pulled away. She took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Lin, I have a request for you."

It's rare to see a late-stage Golden Core cultivator like her so conflicted.

Lin Ye remained silent, put down his teacup, and looked her up and down.

Bai Yue stared blankly as Lin Ye looked her over, her eyes somewhat bewildered. She had long, black hair with a bluish-gray tinge and deep brown eyes, making her a quintessential ancient-style fairy.

Since she was willing to sacrifice herself to plead for her fellow disciples, her serene face, which usually wore a gentle smile, now betrayed a hint of panic.

Her figure is very striking, giving people a sense of agility and grace, as if an immortal should have such a physique. Her temperament and aura are all perfect, worthy of being a future Mahayana cultivator!

After observing her, Bai Yue's gaze shifted from panic to evasiveness, while Lin Ye's eyes revealed interest.

Tell me about it.

Bai Yue said, "I hope that Young Master Lin will not kill my two junior brothers."

Seeing that Lin Ye remained silent, Bai Yue quickly said, "I didn't mean to speculate about your character, nor am I trying to excuse my junior brother. I just want to say... they served as slaves, toiling for you their entire lives..."

"At least I can save my life..."

Lin Ye chuckled: "Yes, that's right, but in what capacity are you asking me for this?"

Lin Ye's question stumped Bai Yue.

"We don't seem to know each other, do we? Even if I don't see the people from the Meteor Fire Sect, I will only feel disgust towards them."

Bai Yue whispered, "I'm sorry..."

"Also, regarding your two junior brothers," Lin Ye said, "I don't need the points from those two slaves."

“Through this matter, what I seek is half of the Meteor Fire Sect’s revenue, which is clearly something neither they nor you can provide.”

"Out of dissatisfaction with this."

"I killed them within the rules to vent my anger... Is that hard to understand?" Lin Ye's tone became even colder.

Bai Yue's face turned pale, and she said in a panic, "Young Master Lin, please retract your order!"

"I'm willing to pay the price for the Meteor Flame Sect. In a few years, I'll become a fourth-grade weapon refiner, and then I can shoulder the responsibility..."

Lin Ye propped his cheek up: "Your Meteor Flame Sect won't expand in the future?"

"And what about your income from all the years before you got promoted?"

"..."

Bai Yue quickly realized this.

This vulnerability can never be completely patched.

So the real issue isn't actually handing over half the income to him.

Rather, it was about how to quell his dissatisfaction.

Bai Yue asked in a trembling voice, "Young Master Lin... what do you want me to do?"

Lin Ye watched her silently.

There are also some worries.

Neither the soul contract nor the various methods he knew about in the future could continuously restrain a cultivator destined to reach the Mahayana stage.

The strong are free.

It seems that careful training is needed.

"Leave the Meteor Fire Faction now and work for me."

"It won't be long, just three years. Not only will I not kill them, I will also set them free."

Lin Ye thought to himself, 'As long as I do it cleanly, it won't count as me killing him.'

Leaving the Meteorite Faction...

Bai Yue was stunned.

Three years, isn't that a bit too long?

"You're still hesitating over such a small offer?" Lin Ye raised an eyebrow. "You can leave now. It seems you have no sincerity in apologizing."

"Young Master Lin!"

Bai Yue quickly said, "I was just a little distracted... I agree to work for you, but I have one condition!"

Chapter Seventy-Four: The Pure White Senior Sister

Bai Yue said she had to make a condition.

Lin Ye had already started brewing tea, no longer looking at her, and said in a cold and distant voice: "Alright, don't rush to make demands before we've even started doing anything."

"I'll pack my things and move over tomorrow morning."

Bai Yue was initially unwilling, but then she suddenly realized what was happening and her eyes widened.

We're moving here tomorrow.

In other words, the remaining time is her chance to explain the situation to the Meteorite Faction!

If I leave the Meteor Fire Sect without explaining the reasons, will I be able to go back three years later?

Master must have already considered her a traitor.

Also, when you're explaining the situation to your master, you have to stop him!

To avoid my two junior brothers being expelled from the sect by our master...

How can I persuade my stubborn master...?

Bai Yue felt extremely overwhelmed.

She quickly got up and left, only turning back when she was almost at the door, lightly leaving behind a "Farewell!" before crashing headfirst into the base of the courtyard gate array.

boom!

Fourth-grade formation...

it hurts!

Bai Yue covered her forehead and glanced back at Lin Ye with a complicated expression.

But Lin Ye's bright smile flashed across his face for a moment, then immediately returned to a cold expression: "Ha... open the door for her."

Bai Yue left in a flurry.

Lin Ye fell into deep thought.

"I never imagined that this kind senior sister who stood up for us would later attack her fellow disciples and even kill her master who tried to stop her."

"Life is truly unpredictable!"

"After killing her master, her cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, eventually reaching the Mahayana stage... Although her weapon crafting skills were terrible, she was always the poorest among those of the same level."

after one day.

Finally, all the miscellaneous tasks were completed.

Despite facing an enemy, Bai Yue felt a sense of relief.

Sometimes, spending time with fellow monks who are like family can actually be more mentally taxing... Why is that?

As for Young Master Lin...

He is just a Qi Refining stage cultivator; he can't do anything.

If you try to do anything to me, you'll only be humiliating yourself!

Moreover, the day I break through to the Nascent Soul stage is already in sight, and the binding force of the Soul Contract will be greatly reduced at that time!

If I disregard everything and forcefully break through to the Pseudo-Infant stage right now, even if it means burning my lifespan, I can still temporarily break free from the constraints.

Thinking about it this way, in a sense, it can be considered that they are fearless!

Moreover, three years is but a blink of an eye for a cultivator.

Bai Yue kept trying to persuade herself.

By reporting.

Entered the courtyard.

The reception room was empty and somewhat deserted.

Following the maid to the backyard, Bai Yue was suddenly struck by the open space.

The backyard garden is beautifully decorated.

The winding white path extends up the hillside, lined with spiritual plants, spiritual fruits, and a lush bamboo forest.

On a small hill slightly higher up, there was a pavilion filled with spiritual energy. Lin Ye and three female cultivators were sitting there, and from the side, you could see that he was chatting and laughing.

"Please wait here, sister," the maid said softly.

"...OK."

Bai Yue also felt that she shouldn't disturb them at this time.

While standing and cultivating, Bai Yue couldn't help but think that her junior brothers and sisters had entrusted her with too many things, and she hadn't had such free time to cultivate in a long time.

I heard laughter and chatter nearby.

The seemingly aloof Young Master Lin actually cares a lot about family ties.

The Meteorite Faction was once as close as family to them.

At that time, there was only Master, Senior Sister, Senior Brother, and her.

Now she's become the senior sister.

Bai Yue stood alone for a while, only to find that Lin Ye had quietly passed by her.

He glanced back at Bai Yue and instructed the maid, "Change her into the same clothes as you."

Bai Yue's heart skipped a beat.

"I... I have to wear a maid's clothes?"

"Do you expect to continue wearing the Meteorite Faction uniform in my house?"

Bai Yue actually felt that there was some truth to what he said.

He could only nod awkwardly: "Then do I have to do the same work as the maid?"

"How could that be! Do you think that's all you're good for?"

Lin Ye's matter-of-fact words choked Bai Yue again.

"I need you to contact Wanbaolou for some work, and also to use your body to forge magical artifacts for me."

Bai Yue's weapon-refining skills and the quality of her physical body-melting products were shockingly low; her weapon-refining talent was far below average.

But after all, it's also a human flesh production line.

It's quite convenient!

For some future magical artifacts that don't require very precise quality control, having her refine them directly would likely yield good results.

Bai Yue nodded slightly.

I've helped my junior classmates a lot; I'm very good at running errands.

"Also, when you're not forging weapons... wait, a weapon refiner who acts as a furnace doesn't seem to qualify as a proper weapon refiner?" Lin Ye raised an eyebrow. "Then you'll do some of the same work as the other maids."

"I..." Bai Yue couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you say my abilities were more than this?"

"Even if you're told to start the smelting, you're just standing there like an idiot with nothing else to do."

Bai Yue couldn't help but think.

It seems he's determined to humiliate me...
