Chapter 12 012 The Secret Manual of Acacia

Jiang Yan opened the document and glanced at it. It turned out that Yuheng's junior sister, Shen Miaoyin, had issued a challenge to her.

The text states that Jiang Yan shamelessly pursued her Daoist partner, Yu Heng, and when he refused, Jiang Yan even injured him. Therefore, Yu Heng, along with several of her Daoist partners, came to seek revenge on Jiang Yan.

It seems they've already realized that the medicine on Yuheng's body was her doing?

It's pretty fast.

Po Yun angrily said, "This Yu Heng is really going too far. He was your Daoist partner before and consumed a lot of your spiritual pills. How can he be so ungrateful and distort the truth like this!"

His junior sister is a flower cultivator who has not yet broken through to the Qi Refining stage even after a hundred years of cultivation... How could someone so innocent and harmless, with no strength to even kill a chicken, possibly hurt someone?

This is pure slander! It's outrageous!

Faced with such a shameless person, Po Yun really wanted to teach Jiang Yan a lesson, but the challenge letter specifically requested her to accept the challenge, and it was not appropriate for others to interfere.

After pondering for a moment, Po Yun sighed and said, "A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years. I'll postpone this for you for now! We'll fight again another day!"

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow slightly and closed the challenge letter.

Although she wasn't from the cultivation world, she still knew some of the rules here. Generally, when one side issued a challenge, it would be announced throughout the Three Realms. If she didn't go, people would probably really think that Jiang Yan was in the wrong.

As a peace-loving modern person, she truly dislikes fighting and killing.

But now... the situation is really pressing!

"I agreed and told her to come."

"Huh?" Po Yun was extremely surprised: "Why don't you think about it again? Of her several Daoist partners, besides a few Foundation Establishment stage, there are also two Golden Core stage!"

"No need, just reply to them."

Jiang Yan casually tossed the challenge letter into Po Yun's arms and walked towards the small courtyard behind.

According to her current cultivation system, winning can also accelerate her leveling up.

It's a good opportunity to practice on Shen Miaoyin and her fellow Daoists before the sect competition. Ideally, they should level up quickly, so perhaps we can break the bond without waiting for them to take human form!

"But junior sister..."

Jiang Yan turned around and interrupted, "If I can't even handle Shen Miaoyin and her several Daoist partners, how can I possibly participate in the upcoming competitions between the major sects?"

"..."

Po Yun was speechless for a moment.

Bai Que and Shen Yuchen frowned and said, "Although fighting can level up, isn't she being too impulsive?"

Gongsun Jin raised an eyebrow and a playful smile curved her lips: "She's a fox."

After the Hehuan Sect learned that Jiang Yan had accepted the challenge from Shen Miaoyin and her fellow Daoists, the senior and junior disciples in the sect busied themselves helping her collect good items to enhance her internal strength.

Overnight, a considerable amount of stuff had accumulated in Jiang Yan's courtyard.

"Junior sister, this is my family heirloom! You can borrow it!"

"This is a special pill that my sect's alchemist has developed for you with all his life's work. Junior sister, you will definitely be able to quickly improve your cultivation after taking it!"

"Junior sister, this is a magical treasure I seized in the last battle. I'm giving it to you!"

Jiang Yan looked at the mosaic that kept flashing in front of her and could only thank her.

I finally managed to deal with one group of people and was just about to sit down.

Then someone outside called out, "Junior Sister Jiang Yan!"

Jiang Yan was taken aback, and then saw a figure walking over leisurely.

The newcomer grabbed her hand, "I'm your senior sister Ruoning, and I have something really good for you!"

"No need, Senior Sister. You see, I already have quite a lot here, so..."

The person opposite frowned and interrupted, "My stuff is different from theirs; mine is the most practical!"

After saying that, Ruoning glanced at the few animals squatting not far away, then pulled Jiang Yan a few steps toward the corner and slapped a book into her hand.

"Take this, go back and study it carefully, it will definitely benefit you quickly! Let me tell you, none of those pills or cultivation methods are as practical as this book!"

"Really?" Jiang Yan looked at the book in her hand, puzzled.

After seeing the book title, I was immediately stunned.

'The Secret Manual of Albizia'?!

Jiang Yan's pupils contracted, and she subconsciously tried to return the hot potato in her hand.

"Senior sister, I don't need this thing..."

"You have to use it!" Ruoning stubbornly shoved the book into her arms: "Their cultivation has regressed now, so dual cultivation at this time won't harm you! It's the fastest and most effective method!"

"I……"

"No need for words of gratitude, you understand your senior sister's good intentions! I'll be going now, so as not to take up your time! Let's start tonight!"

Jiang Yan watched the figure disappear at the speed of light, and for a moment she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Soon the man returned and stood outside the courtyard gate, calling out, "Junior Sister! Don't be afraid, our Hehuan Sect is your strong support! It's okay if you lose! Even if the sky falls, we senior brothers and sisters will hold it up for you!"

Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Understood, Senior Sister Ruoning!"

After the people outside left, she casually flipped through the 'Secret Manual of Acacia' in her hand.

A diagram of two little figures in various poses, but isn't it drawn too roughly?

She complained with some disappointment, "Why can't we draw anything below the neck in the cultivation world in detail? What kind of secret manual is this?"

Jiang Yan casually tossed the book aside. This childish stuff is supposed to be from the Hehuan Sect?

The book traced an arc in the air before landing with a "thud" on Lin Yun's head.

It shook its snake body, and the book fell to the ground.

It instantly attracted the attention of the few mosaics around her. Everyone stared at it and blushed.

Ling Yue coughed lightly and said, "They...their Hehuan Sect...they're too audacious!"

A gust of wind blew by, flipping the pages of the book and revealing the explicit images inside.

Everyone's pupils contracted, and then... they stared intently.

Lin Yun turned the snake's tail and snapped the book shut.

Feigning composure, he said, "How can such filthy things be displayed openly in public? It's truly improper... I'll keep it for her for now and return it to her later!"

Lingyue and Xiaobai looked at him suspiciously, reasonably suspecting that Lin Yun wanted to take it for himself.

Just as Lin Yun was about to take the book, 'Gongsun Jin' used his power to snatch it away.

He merely raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "I don't find it filthy. Let me take a look."

"No way!"

Lin Yun scrambled to his feet, looked up at him, and said, "I found it first, give it back!"

"Come and try to steal it if you dare."

Just as Lin Yun was baring his teeth, ready to rush over and bite him, he was kicked into the small river by the door...

"You old monster, I'm not finished with you yet!"

Feng Qingyu smiled indifferently, clearly not taking his anger to heart at all.

Inside the kitchen at this moment.

Shen Yuchen originally came in to get a drink of water, but after seeing Jiang Yan's busy figure, he couldn't help but feel curious.

They used the same ingredients, so why did her food smell so much better? He just wanted to know if she used some kind of special magic.

So he squatted by the door and watched for a while. When the aroma of the dishes wafted out, it awakened his long-lost appetite.

My stomach started growling.

Shen Yuchen awkwardly prepared to leave.

Jiang Yan turned her head and saw the white mosaic squatting at the door.

She couldn't help but smile slightly: "Lingyue, are you hungry? You can try the mushroom meatball soup for me."

Before Shen Yuchen could refuse, she had already handed him a bowl. She smiled at him and said, "Eat."

He initially wanted to correct her way of addressing him, but then he thought that if he pointed it out, she might be hurt.

The mushroom soup in front of her was so tempting, its color and aroma tantalizing Shen Yuchen's last shred of reason.

He hasn't eaten for many years since he started cultivating immortality; doing this is too damaging to his Dao heart.

No, how could he, a dignified sword cultivator of the Xuanjian Sect, be swayed by such gluttony?

Reason is making its last stand.

"I……"

But as soon as he opened his mouth, 'biu'—

Jiang Yan used magic to put the meatballs in his mouth!

He swallowed it instinctively.

Jiang Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, I can actually use spiritual power now! Ling Yue, don't you think I'm amazing!"

Shen Yuchen: "..."

He was really embarrassed to answer the question.

You're a contestant who only broke through to the Qi Refining stage after a hundred years of cultivation. Don't you know how powerful you are?

Jiang Yan excitedly tried to use her spiritual power to operate the kitchen utensils, but since she had just broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, she wasn't very familiar with them, and the incantations in her mind were also quite limited.

The scene was quite chaotic at one point...

When Jiang Yan turned her head to look over, Ling Yue had already finished the mushroom soup in her bowl.

Shen Yuchen stood calmly, noblely, and elegantly at the door.

I'm trying to comfort myself. My master said that the truth lies in one's own heart. It's just a bowl of soup. So what if I eat it?

Besides, it was Ling Yue who ate the mushroom soup, so what does it have to do with Shen Yuchen?

Jiang Yan walked over with a smile and picked up the bowl: "Ling Yue is such a wonderful little bunny!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand to touch his head.

A rare hint of panic flashed in Shen Yuchen's eyes. Could he have been found out so quickly?

In a moment of desperation, he had a flash of inspiration and instantly transformed himself...

In the courtyard.

Lin Yun, covered in water plants, climbed out of the river and decided to go find Shen Yuchen and have a good talk about the evil deeds of that old monster Feng Qingyu!

Ling Yue trotted towards the kitchen; he needed to help Sister Yan cook. Although his level wasn't as high as theirs, it didn't matter—he was diligent!

When the two mosaic-covered figures arrived at the kitchen, they saw Jiang Yan sitting there burning firewood, with one of her dogs lying on her lap...
