My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

Lin Ye's expression turned solemn, and he clasped his hands in greeting, "Fellow Daoist Baili!"

"thank you very much for your help."

"Clang, clang, clang—" Baili Jingchen flicked the metal ornament on his shoulder and said, "Hey, what's our relationship!"

"go!"

After saying that, Baili Jingchen dragged Lin Ye to the place where they were going to eat.

The location is exactly the twenty acres of land that Baili Jingchen bought.

A commercial street has now been built, and it looks like everything is waiting to be rebuilt.

Upon reaching the upper floor, Baili Jingchen whispered, "I've used several connections to get in touch with a friend of that young master from the Divine Sword Pavilion. He'll be attending tonight."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you should act according to the circumstances."

Lin Ye nodded: "Okay."

"If any conflict does arise, it will be within the Realm of the Void Gods, where there is still room for reconciliation."

"Hmm..." Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Today, we must be extra careful.

If that true disciple is indeed a descendant of the Divine Sword Pavilion Master... we're doomed!

In the worst-case scenario, he might become the trigger for the complete collapse of the relationship between Demon Emperor Mountain and Divine Sword Pavilion.

On the day the old Demon Emperor was born and swept across the world, the Pavilion Master of the Divine Sword Pavilion escaped with his life by not going to besiege Demon Emperor Mountain. It is said that he almost went.

Later, the master of the Divine Sword Pavilion was moved by this and escaped with his life, becoming the sworn brother of the old demon emperor.

In the unlikely event that Lin Ye becomes a non-existent factor in history, the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

This led to the Divine Sword Pavilion Master's involvement in the siege of Demon Emperor Mountain.

That Divine Sword Pavilion Master will surely die at the hands of the Old Demon Emperor.

'That shouldn't happen, right? How could a Qi Refining stage cultivator like me have that much power? Besides, if those two families really started fighting, I, a nobody, would be the first to die!'

Lin Ye's breath caught in his throat for a moment as he thought of this.

If a real calamity were to strike, I would have to abandon this identity and operate under the guise of a rogue cultivator.

However, this is only a last resort.

There's still a chance!

At this moment, several cultivators arrived together, all of them looking quite imposing. Lin Ye and Baili Jingchen stood up and stepped forward to exchange pleasantries.

The cultivators were somewhat surprised to see Lin Ye, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator, appear.

"Fellow Daoist Lin!"

A cultivator carrying a third-grade talisman master token stepped forward to speak with Lin Ye, saying with a smile, "I am a friend of Fellow Daoist Baili, and I have heard of you before!"

"Fellow Daoist's [Magic Crystal Cannon] is truly formidable. A mid-grade second-rank spiritual weapon capable of injuring a Golden Core cultivator is truly admirable."

Lin Ye quickly offered a few words of humility.

I knew perfectly well that this person was Baili Jingchen's good friend and also a 'plant' arranged in advance!

He's truly a good brother for going to such lengths.

"..." Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

To be honest, the help I gave to Baili Jingchen was nothing outrageous.

However, he provided a third-grade pill formula that did not yet exist in this era, which enabled Baili Jingchen to make a breakthrough in the weapon refining competition and win second place.

However, Baili Jingchen treated him like a brother and was willing to help him in important matters, which shows he was a man of principle.

Several cultivators from prominent families looked at Lin Ye with curiosity.

A Qi Refining stage weapon-refining genius, born in Demon Emperor Mountain?

It just doesn't feel right no matter how you look at it!

Those present now are—

Kun Zhengqing, the Little Roc King, is the son of the Golden-Winged Roc King.

Che Xiaoxiao, a rare male cultivator from the Hehuan Sect.

Son of a fifth-rank talisman master, a genius talisman master with squinty eyes, a member of the Fu clan.

After being seated at the table, Xiao Peng Wang Kun Zhengqing, who had enormous golden wings on his back, couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Lin, why are you still only in the Qi Refining stage?"

Good guy.

Let’s get straight to the point!

The male mechanic from the Hehuan Sect chuckled, his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes slightly narrowed: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Lin is actually a rogue cultivator...?"

"You were never exposed to cultivation in your childhood?"

"Otherwise, I really can't understand this situation."

Baili Jingchen laughed and said, "Haha, with Fellow Daoist Lin's talent, even a rogue cultivator couldn't progress this slowly."

"Of course there's another reason behind it!"

Lin Ye picked up the thread and sighed, "Three years ago, I was struck by the [Soul-Scattering Lock], and my cultivation plummeted."

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have come to the Imperial Palace of the Mechanized City to seek some opportunities."

The expressions on everyone's faces varied, as if they had never heard of this thing before.

Only the cultivator from the Joyful Union Sect suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise, "So it's the [Soul-Scattering Lock]!"

"How did Fellow Daoist Lin offend those people?"

Lin Ye looked utterly helpless and shook his head, saying, "It's my fault for being so blind."

The Soul-Scattering Lock is a sinister technique possessed by a branch of the Joyful Union Sect, capable of absorbing a person's power invisibly.

That branch has very few people.

Unless you're a core member of the Hehuan Sect, you'd be just like everyone else at the dinner table—you'd never even heard of it.

Upon hearing that Lin Ye knew this move, the Hehuan Sect cultivators, filled with doubt, dispersed.

It's probably true, otherwise how could they know the effects of the Soul-Scattering Lock?

This fellow Daoist Lin is so unlucky.

He was drained dry by a high-level cultivator... or perhaps several of them, in turns.

The Hehuan Sect cultivator gave a malicious smile.

He then explained the matter in detail to everyone at the table.

Everyone was both amused and exasperated. Baili Jingchen covered his face and pointed at Lin, saying, "Fellow Daoist Lin, you... I never expected you would be defeated by dual cultivation!"

Lin Ye said with a mournful face, "I never expected this either!"

"Hahaha... Fellow Daoist Lin, don't be discouraged!" Little Peng King couldn't help but laugh. "It's good that you can survive. With our status, what's so difficult about making a comeback?"

Lin Ye's brows relaxed, and he said with relief, "Yes... Cultivation values ​​life. As long as there is still vitality, one can always start over!"

Fu Zongshi laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin is indomitable and will surely shine brightly in the future."

"You flatter me, fellow Daoist."

"Alas." Baili Jingchen sighed, "It's such a rare gathering, and I haven't even been able to invite a single female cultivator from a major family."

"Perhaps I lack charm? I'm truly ashamed!" Baili Jingchen stood up and offered a toast: "I'll definitely improve next time. Come on, I'll drink this first!"

"No way, Fellow Daoist Baili, there's going to be a next time? Next time, let the brothers from the Hehuan Sect organize the gathering!"

"Haha, drink up!"

The crowd clinked glasses and toasted, creating a lively atmosphere.

Lin Ye and Baili Jingchen both had heavy thoughts.

The appointed time has passed, and the true disciple of the Divine Sword Pavilion has still not arrived!

Perhaps he won't be there today.

Even if you get to know these people, the real problem remains unsolved.

Perhaps I need to change my approach to resolve this conflict!

Just as Lin Ye was thinking this, suddenly, an extremely sharp aura pierced into the private room, and the glass windows shattered into pieces in an instant.

A little boy with rosy lips and white teeth pushed open the door and entered, his sharp eyes scanning the room.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the boy clasped his hands and said, "Seniors, I am Nangong Chong, a true disciple of the Divine Sword Pavilion. I have come here today only to find someone."

Who is Lin Ye?

Lin Ye remained calm and nodded, saying, "I am—young friend, you're being too attached to appearances!"

"..."

Caught off guard, Nangong Chong paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean?"

"I hear that you are a successor of the Divine Sword Pavilion. You are in such a fierce manner, you must have heard about the criticism of sword cultivators from the outside world, and that is why you have come to find me, the creator of the automatic flying sword."

"If you ask me, the rumors circulating outside are completely wrong!"

Nangong Chong was somewhat taken aback and was stunned.

What's going on? The founder of the automatic flying sword thinks the "sword cultivation is useless" theory is wrong... Isn't he the culprit?

"What I mean is, young friend, have you considered...?"

"I am a genius at weapon crafting!"

Lin Ye remained calm while boasting, saying, "It is precisely because I am a genius in weapon crafting that the automatic flying swords I create can rival... and even defeat ordinary sword cultivators!"

"But for a sword-cultivating genius like you, young friend, automatic flying swords are far inferior."

"For example, an automatic flying sword can never master sword energy."

If we could master sword energy, it might trigger a mechanical crisis.

Will the Omnic Crisis bring about a second Dark Age? Lin Ye wondered to himself.

Nangong Chong was startled again, and symptoms of cognitive dissonance began to appear as he scanned Lin Ye up and down.

I never expected him to praise me as a genius...

Baili Jingchen laughed and said, "Look, what else could this be but a misunderstanding? Fellow Daoist Nangong, come! You're all grown up now, I think you can join us at the table for a drink?"

"Oh right, you'll have to drink a penalty shot if you're late!"

"If there's any misunderstanding, just talk it out."

The atmosphere had changed, and Nangong Chong was clearly hesitant, unsure whether to continue picking a fight.

Lin Ye, holding a wine glass, relaxed and said, "I think Fellow Daoist Nangong is itching to try it out! What harm is there in me offering up my most powerful, non-saleable automatic flying sword for Fellow Daoist Nangong to experience?"

"it is good!"

"We are eager to witness the battle of a genius swordsman!"

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, let's go!"

Everyone became interested and stood up.

Nangong Chong was taken to the outer square in a daze. Facing the four automatic flying swords released by Lin Ye, he finally reacted, and a fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

"bring it on!"

Bang bang bang!

Even the ground of the Void God Realm cracked open. Nangong Chong's flying sword was extremely powerful, and he repeatedly repelled the four flying swords despite being only at the Qi Refining stage.

Lin Ye released two more flying swords.

Nangong Chong struggled on, but in the end, the automatic flying sword exhausted its spiritual energy after an incense stick's time.

"Insufficient spiritual energy, will shut down in five seconds..."

With a few thuds, the automatic flying sword crashed heavily to the ground.
