Chapter 489: Inner Demon

Lin Xiaoman hadn't known when he had sat down cross-legged, with a charred cat nestled beside him.

Ding-a-ling! Ding-a-ling!

The alarm clock rang out one after another, and Lin Xiaoman suddenly opened his eyes. What he saw was the white ceiling. The sunlight shining into the room was a little dazzling.

She raised her hand to turn off the alarm clock as usual, but her hand paused in the air before turning it off, thinking of sleeping for another ten minutes.

It was as if he had just slept, or as if he had just closed his eyes, when the alarm clock rang again. Lin Xiaoman opened his eyes depressedly, slowly got up, mechanically got up and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up, she changed into a casual "work outfit", did some basic skin care, picked up her bag and changed her shoes before going out. She was already awake at this time. Next, she had to catch the subway, punch in at the company, and start her life of moving bricks from day to night.

I worked mechanically, ate greasy and salty takeout, and worked in a daze until after ten o'clock in the evening before leaving the office building. I rushed to catch the last subway and got home at nearly twelve o'clock. I hurriedly washed up and finally lay down. It was already very late. Although I was very tired, I still couldn't help taking out my mobile phone to watch videos and read novels. In the end, I fell asleep without knowing when.

Day after day, Lin Xiaoman felt as if a very long time had passed, yet it also seemed as if no time had passed at all.

As the days passed, Lin Xiaoman felt an overwhelming urge to work overtime, and this urge grew stronger and stronger. Until one day, she received another notice to work overtime, and she could no longer bear it. Was this extra work necessary?

She clearly, clearly…she clearly? She clearly didn’t have to add it!!!

At that moment, the world in Lin Xiaoman's eyes suddenly became blurred, but her eyes became clear. A familiar cat's cry sounded in her mind, and Lin Xiaoman woke up completely. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the familiar and reassuring forest. In the charred land, she and Tuanzi were in a mess.

"Meow~"

A very faint and weak voice sounded in his ears. Lin Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at Tuanzi.

"That was a close call. I was almost dragged away by that damn overtime."

Don’t go back to that world in this life, no, don’t go there in the next life or the next life.

The thunderclouds in the sky had dispersed, and for a moment, a large amount of spiritual rain fell on Lin Xiaoman and Tuanzi, relieving the pain all over their bodies and replenishing their mental strength.

She and Tuanzi were nourished by the spiritual jade, and as they recovered, their spiritual and mental strength increased dramatically. Xu Yi and Yun Zi on the other side were both surprised.

"Junior Sister, you overcame this inner demon test so quickly."

“Amazing!”

They had also gone through the tribulation of thunder. The inner demon test at that time was extremely torturous. If they were not careful, they would be reduced to ashes.

After several hours, Lin Xiaoman finally opened his eyes. A purple light flashed in his eyes, and he looked very sharp.

He looked down at Tuanzi, who was squinting and languid, and asked, "Don't you need to sleep this time?"

"Meow~ No need, I want to go home and drink."

Lin Xiaoman curled her lips and rubbed Tuanzi's head, "Okay, let's go home."

While putting the other person on the wrist mark, let Tuanzi rest first.

She stood up and flew towards her master, "Master."

"Hahahaha, not bad, not bad."

Ouyang Hong is now extremely satisfied with Lin Xiaoman. It has only been a hundred years, and she has broken through from the Nascent Soul Stage to the Mahayana Stage.

No matter where this is placed, it is a genius-level existence.

He successfully passed the thunder tribulation, and he did it entirely by himself. Let's see who will dare to say in the future that he just accepted a useless disciple with four spiritual roots.

"Junior sister, congratulations."

"Congratulations, Junior Sister, on your breakthrough."

As he was speaking, two familiar voices were heard behind him. Lin Xiaoman turned around and saw that it was the eldest senior brother and the second senior sister flying towards him.

"Big Brother, Second Sister."

She didn't expect that when she came out, she would see them and they would help her protect the law.

I was deeply moved and couldn't express it in words. When I got back, Tuanzi's new wine was ready, so I invited them to Luoxia Peak to drink.

"Let's go back."

This trip was purely to find Lin Xiaoman. He originally planned to let his eldest and second disciples enter the secret realm together to look for him again, but the moment the secret realm was opened, he sensed a familiar breath and immediately stopped the two disciples who were about to enter.

Unexpectedly, the young disciple was so hardworking that he not only lived for a hundred years in the Chaos Secret Realm, but also made breakthroughs all the way and even reached the Mahayana stage.

Lin Xiaoman naturally agreed. She hadn't been back to Xiaoyao Sect or her Luoxia Peak for a long, long time. She wondered if they were still there.

"Second Senior Sister, have you returned to the sect in these years?"

On the way, Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but ask his second senior sister Yun Zi.

"Well, I'm back. What's wrong?"

"I rented a mountain before, but it suddenly disappeared a hundred years ago. I wonder if it's still there? Could it be rented by someone else?"

She remembered that when she rented the place, although there was no rent, she was still able to improve the spiritual energy of the mountain every year. But a hundred years have passed. Although she has planted spiritual veins in the mountain and there should be no need to worry about the richness of the spiritual energy, but... what if someone finds it and wants to rent it?

"Are you talking about Luoxia Peak? Don't worry, it's still there, and everything is fine."

Yun Zi smiled and said when she heard that.

It was the master who asked them to pay attention to this matter. The junior sister actually rented a mountain to live in, and it was such a remote place.

However, there was a huge formation protecting the mountain, and it was difficult for them to enter, so they did not destroy it. They originally thought that as time went by, without spirit stones to replenish its operation, the formation would disappear one day, so they took turns to pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, after a hundred years, the formation on the mountain was still functioning well.

Lin Xiaoman's eyes lit up, "Really? That's great."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but tell Tuanzi the good news in her mind, "Tuanzi, Tuanzi, did you hear that? Our home is still there, Luoxia Peak is still fine, and we can stay here when we go back."

"Meow~"

After a long time, Tuanzi's happy voice sounded in my mind.

Lin Xiaoman curled her lips, arousing Yun Zi's curiosity. "Junior Sister, do you like that mountain very much?"

"Well, my Tuanzi and Baibai also like it very much. It's called Luoxia Peak. In fact, I really want to buy it, but unfortunately the sect rules prevent me from buying it for the time being."

As she spoke, she turned to look at the others, "Once we get back and settle down, we'll brew another batch of spirit wine. Master, Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, are you free to come and have a drink?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Yun Zi and Xu Yi's eyes light up, but even Ouyang Hong, who was sitting in the front row, had a smile on his face when he heard this.

Yun Zi grabbed Lin Xiaoman's hand excitedly.

"Okay, okay, I've been waiting for this. You've been gone for a hundred years, and there hasn't been any spirit wine in the entire Cang Yue Realm that tastes better than the Jiuxiao Spirit Wine."
