All of the protagonist's Daoist partners are mine!

"While my beautiful master feels guilty, I'll finish him off." Xing Moxie squeezed hard, dissolving and pulverizing the fragment in his palm.

It must be admitted that saying the word "cute" to Yun Feixia was somewhat risky.

But the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish, so in the end, it's perfectly fine.

That's all for today. Let's leave the beautiful young master with the impression that "this disciple has special feelings for her beyond the master-disciple relationship," and then gradually let the relationship evolve.

You must understand that no matter how many things Xing Moxie does for her or how many merits he makes for Qingxin Peak, if he is always treated as a disciple by Yun Feixia, he will be like someone under the spell of the Golden Experience Requiem, never able to reach the reality of winning her heart.

That won't do.

Old Xing didn't come to the Xuantian Immortal Sect to be a model disciple.

"Hmm... so what should we do next?"

The matter with the beautiful master is temporarily settled.

Ye Tian, ​​the senior disciple of the cheap true lineage, is diligently practicing his skills.

Although the unlucky Yu Changfeng had come to the Immortal Sect, his injuries had not yet healed and he was still recuperating in bed.

Xiao Fan seems to be busy with the work of becoming a Holy Son.

Shall we go find Linglong to play with? She helped attract everyone's attention at the Life and Death Arena, so she deserves a reward.

"No, let's forget it. Even the strongest ox can't plow the field every day, let alone plow the same patch."

Even if the oxen can hold on, the field will still be ruined by plowing, won't it?

Even vegetable farming has a fallow season. Even if we don't give the cattle a break, we should at least give the land a break.

Sigh, as expected, Old Xing is still too kind-hearted.

Thinking of this, Xing Moxie snapped his fingers: "Xigou, come out."

"I said... although I'm the one you can call me whatever you want, can we change how we address each other?" Sister Zhong appeared from behind him, her forehead covered in black lines.

"You're the system's and my wooden dog, so isn't that just a greyhound (a dog that's attached to the system)?"

Enraged, Sister Zhong kicked her feet in the air: "Who's your mother... what's wrong with us? We're business partners, don't get it wrong!"

Xing Moxie chuckled wickedly, "You abandoned your bedridden, seriously injured host and came to me wagging your tail and begging for mercy. You really have the nerve to say that? Are you that insatiable? Oh, I see. It must be because you tasted the forbidden fruit the first time you obtained a physical body, and you're so addicted to that feeling that you can't extricate yourself, right?"

"Who's having trouble getting out of it? You have the nerve to bring it up? I told you to be gentle, but you showed no mercy and ruined the physical form that she finally managed to get. I need at least half a month to gather my strength before I can materialize it again."

"So long..." Xing Moxie revealed a subtle expression.

Zhong Jie opened one eye: "What, now you know how to reflect? It's too late to apologize to me, I won't forgive you."

"It's been too long. I've been thinking about using it for the past couple of days."

"Hey!" Sister Zhong, on the verge of tears, threw a punch at his head, but because it had no physical form, it passed right through him.

What a joke! You did such a terrible thing to him, don't you feel any remorse at all? Zhong Jie secretly resolved that she would never materialize in front of him again.

"Alright, we can discuss your form of address later. Now, do me a favor and find someone."

"Find someone? This system can't do that."

The image shows Sister Zhong shrugging her hands, indicating helplessness.

“Locating a specific individual from the vast sea of ​​people involves the realm of divination and destiny, which requires a large number of system points. First, we need the consent of the true host, Changfeng, and second, Changfeng doesn’t have that many system points right now.”

"But don't you have some secret savings... no, I should say secret points?"

"Hey! That's enough, you devil!"

Only after Zhongjie entered into a temporary contract with him did she learn of his true identity.

At first, I was terrified, feeling like I had been tricked onto a mud boat that I should never set foot on... no, a ghost ship!

But after spending a night getting to know each other better, she accepted the fact that she had been bewitched by the devil.

In any case, the system itself is merely a virtual product derived from the power of Heaven's Dao. Those with nothing to lose have nothing to fear; the worst outcome is simply that the host is killed and the system returns to nothingness. What does making a deal with a demon matter?

And it was precisely this fearlessness that Xing Moxie appreciated.

"I'm cooperating with you to earn points, why would I have to give them away? No way! Absolutely no way!" Sister Zhong said firmly.

This devil is always trying to get something for nothing. How could she, a system, be so stupid as to fall for it?

Xing Moxie shook his head and sighed: "With such short-sightedness, how can you accomplish great things? As the saying goes, you have to give to receive. As a system, your desire to cultivate into a true self is a high-stakes gamble against fate. Since it's a gamble, how can you not place a wager?"

"Uh..." Sister Zhong fell into deep thought, feeling that what he said made some sense.

Xing Moxie continued, "Besides, it's not a loss for you to take some out now. It's called an investment."

"Investment?"

"You only need to invest a tiny bit of your personal points in me to help me succeed. Once Yu Changfeng recovers, I can provide him with even more powerful assistance, allowing him to frantically complete system tasks, and you can also recoup more points. No matter how you look at it, it's a sure win."

"..." Zhong Jie was somewhat moved, but it still hurt her to pay out of her own pocket.

"Let's do great things, let's do great things!"

"Emmm, okay, who are you looking for?"

As expected of the Demon Lord, he indirectly took a bite out of the system's money.

Chapter 83: The Great Sun Saintess Desires to Uncover the Truth

While the busy Mo Xie followed Zhong Jie to search for "a certain person," let's shift our focus to another immortal sect, the Great Sun Immortal Sect, which is a million miles away from the Xuan Tian Immortal Sect's homeland and separated by hundreds of small countries.

Unlike other immortal sects, the Great Sun Immortal Sect's homeland consists of twelve flying treasure mountains suspended in the clouds and sky, very close to the Pride of Yang.

The twelve treasure mountains gleam with golden light, connected by a heavenly path. A golden bridge and jade belt, like a golden dragon ascending to heaven, link the twelve immortal grottoes in the air.

The glorious sight of the Great Sun Immortal Sect can be seen from thousands of miles away.

There are even rumors that this heavenly road was originally transformed from a true dragon after its death.

Just like the legend of Pangu creating the world and transforming his physical body into mountains and all things, it is popularly believed that the twelve treasure mountains are the twelve primordial elixir of a true dragon, and the heavenly road is the spine of a true dragon.

However, the exact answer has remained inconclusive for thousands of years.

The part of the "dragon's tail" that touches the ground is called the "ladder to heaven".

Since the founding of the Great Sun Immortal Sect, the Ascension Ceremony, held once every ten years, has always been held on the Heavenly Ladder, making it exceptionally significant.

Every mortal who wants to join the Great Sun Immortal Sect to seek immortality must climb the Heavenly Ladder once to be considered a successful disciple.

Outside of the Ascension Ceremony, the Heavenly Ladder is also a popular tourist destination worshipped by mortals, attracting countless visitors every year. It has earned the Great Sun Immortal Sect a considerable amount of tourism revenue.

The "dragon head" section supports the tallest of the twelve treasure mountains, which is also the residence of the Great Sun Immortal Sect Master and the Great Sun Holy Maiden—Huaguang Mountain.

Setting foot on Huaguang Mountain is an honor in itself, and a lifelong goal for all disciples of the Great Sun Immortal Sect.

"Holy Maiden, the crane has delivered this month's 'Eternal Gazette'." A pretty female disciple entered the side hall and placed an open box on the table, inside which was a jade slip.

She, Ge Niao, as a servant serving the master of this place, possesses a beauty that is one in a million among the many inner disciples, and outstanding talent. But all her assets that she can be proud of and show off are worthless in front of the person she serves.

Upon hearing this, the woman who was sitting in the hall burning incense and reading put down the scripture she was halfway through comprehending and revealed her true identity.

Her black hair was as smooth and silky as silk. Her features resembled distant, pink mountains, and her beautiful eyes were deep and captivating, sparkling with a mesmerizing light as she looked around.

She wore a gorgeous white dress with gold patterns, her hairpins were dazzling, and jade rings and pearls hung on her, their tinkling sounds accompanied by the fragrance of orchids.

Her fair wrists, like jade, and her delicate hands holding a book, already create a beautiful still picture.

Yan Lingyun is the Holy Maiden of the Great Sun Immortal Sect, a rare intellectual beauty in this world.

"I see, it's this time of month already."

"Holy Maiden, why waste your money subscribing to such gossip magazines? If you want to know anything, just let me know, and the Immortal Sect can investigate it for you immediately."

"You're right, but the Eternal Gazette is a new-era information dissemination medium jointly launched by dozens of small sects scattered across various territories. It was officially launched fifty years ago. The newspaper focuses on the real world of the Eternal Continent, and is published monthly, gathering all the hot topics within the Eternal Continent for that month. Readers can learn about current events in other territories and the current market trends through the Eternal Gazette."

"Ha..." Ge Niao revealed a subtle expression that was difficult to comment on and respond to.

Yan Lingyun, the contemporary Great Sun Saintess, is the successor to the previous Saintess known as "Peerless Sun Crown," and is flawless in terms of ability.

The only thing that troubled those around her was that Yan Lingyun's thinking was too flexible and unconventional, often coming up with some wild and imaginative ideas that drew unanimous opposition from most of the elders at meetings.

But the outcome of each action proved her right.

Therefore, many elders were embarrassed and lost face because of her overly correct and forward-thinking decisions.

People around Yan Lingyun often find it difficult to keep up with her because her focus is different from others.

"As the successors of the five great immortal sects, we should be aware of every development on the Eternal Continent." Yan Lingyun picked up the jade slip and casually fiddled with it. "That being said, it's not hard to guess the hot topic this month. It's nothing more than our attack on the Demon Palace, right?... Huh!? What!?"

Yan Lingyun, who had been so confident just a moment ago, suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.

Ge Niao had been selected from the inner sect and had served the sect for ten years, but this was the first time he had seen the Holy Maiden so surprised.

"Holy Maiden, what happened?"

She leaned closer and saw a headline projected from the jade slip: "Shocking! Xuan Tian's Holy Son is killed by a bull; the blond-haired guy is actually his former underling."

Subtitle: "The Exquisite Sword Immortal Goes Public About Her Relationship, Finally Married to Her Former Comrade-in-Arms"

What's going on? Yan Lingyun rubbed her eyes repeatedly and looked over and over again.

Is it true or not? She had thought that when they met again at the 100th anniversary celebration of the demon-slaying, Xiao Fan and Xiao Linglong would be a couple.

But isn't the situation developing in the completely opposite direction right now?!

"What happened between Young Master Xiao and Sister Linglong..." Yan Lingyun hurriedly looked down, her clever mind working quickly: "Why is it Lu Renjia? Could it be that Sister Linglong tried to confess her feelings, but Young Master Xiao was oblivious, which angered her so much that she randomly found someone to provoke him?"

She and Xiao Fan were on the same page.

After all, Xiao Linglong's image as someone who is easily angered and acts without considering the consequences has become deeply ingrained in people's minds through years of shared adventures.

But Yan Lingyun immediately dismissed this possibility: "Although Linglong acts freely, she is still a conservative person at heart. If it were to provoke Young Master Xiao, she wouldn't have made it known to everyone. But when did she and Lu Renjia develop such a relationship?"

They were all comrades-in-arms who had traveled together, spent their days and nights together, and fought side by side for so many years on the path of demon slaying. If there were sparks between Xiao Linglong and Lu Renjia, Yan Lingyun would not have missed it.

"So what did Lu Renjia do? How could he have such ability and such courage?" Yan Lingyun asked skeptically.

She has great confidence in her judgment of people.

Lu Renjia was Xiao Fan's underling, so Yan Lingyun had observed him closely. She was certain that the guy didn't have the ability to defy the Heavenly Gang.

“When all the impossibilities are eliminated, what remains is the truth. It seems that an outsider was interfering in this matter, although it may not be a bad thing for me.” She smiled with relief.

Having one less competitor is practically a gift from heaven. But Yan Lingyun still wanted to know what had happened between those three.

At this moment, Ge Niao reported another matter: "Reporting to the Holy Maiden, there is also an urgent letter from Zhan Tian Ge."

The letter was sealed with a star-shaped wax seal, indicating that it was sent by someone of very high status in the Zhan Tian Ge (a high-ranking official organization).

When Yan Lingyun opened the package, she was surprised to find out: "Saintess An is coming to participate in the 100-day celebration of the Demon Extermination."

"That frail and sickly Saintess who never leaves the Celestial Pavilion? How strange."

"Hmm, she seems to have seen a very ominous future in her recent divination. And it's something that can't be mentioned in a letter; it must be conveyed to the representatives of the five major immortal sects in person. Prepare yourselves; this celebration is unlikely to be peaceful."

Chapter 84: 1 The Demon Lord's Self-Growth Plan Begins!

On a street in a small vassal state within the territory of the Xuantian Immortal Sect.

People come and go, cars and horses are bustling, the restaurants are filled with the aroma of fine wine, and the teahouses are fragrant with sweet scents.

Street performers seamlessly switch between balancing bowls and carrying large vats, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Among the countless street vendors, an old man with disheveled hair displayed about a hundred trinkets on a black cloth, with a sign next to him that read, "One item per person, one silver coin for the whole place."

Last year, someone spread the rumor that they had found a bargain with this old man, buying a genuine thousand-year-old antique. This attracted many antique enthusiasts and wealthy young men who staked out the shop.

But because no one shipped any more goods after a year, fewer and fewer people came to patronize the store.

"Another day with no income," the old man muttered, looking at the goods that were exactly the same quantity as in the morning. "Should I perhaps consider moving to another country?"

Just then, a pair of clean boots stopped in front of the stall, and a silver coin drew a graceful arc in the air before landing in the old man's bowl with a crisp clink.

A customer has come in?

The old man looked up at the visitor with enthusiasm: "Oh, you have a good eye, sir. Every piece here is a treasure. Take your pick, and take whichever one you like."

The newcomer was dressed in the robes of an inner disciple of the Xuantian Immortal Sect; it was none other than our busy man, Xing Moxie.

The old man begging on the street with his tattered belongings was the very person Xing Moxie had gone to great lengths to persuade System Sister Zhong to spend her precious points to find.

Along the way, Sister Zhong had complained a thousand times: "We've been tricked! We've really lost a lot! That evil devil has really harmed people, no, he's harmed the system! I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense. By the way, why does locking onto an old man selling goods at a stall cost so many points? There must be a bug somewhere, right?"

This is a huge loss.

Querying the coordinates of a specific target falls under the category of divination and deducing cause and effect.
