Chapter 101: Can't it be published on Jinjiang without the green color? ...

Before long, Immortal Venerable Chan Ning and his Daoist companion disappeared onto the Lingyun magic artifact.

The moment they left, Yao Sisi sensed the absence of their presence on the magical artifact, and the voice of Immortal Venerable Chan Ning echoed from the sky: "We'll meet again next time."

Yao Sisi cupped her hands in a gesture of respect towards the sky, but the people around her didn't let her off the hook, as if countless mouths were spewing out all sorts of sharp questions for her to answer.

She felt sweat beading on her forehead; this was even more difficult than passing through a lightning tribulation. "If I don't find a way to separate these guys soon, something bad is bound to happen."

And she was the upright target.

They're usually quite amicable, so how come they suddenly have such a strange chemistry when they're together?

Why?

Is cultivation not urgent enough?

For a moment, she almost thought that it wasn't that she was cultivating quickly, but that everyone else was just playing around and wasting time...

She felt she needed to urge them on so they wouldn't lose their ambition. The young master didn't need any prompting for now; he knew what he was doing and his cultivation speed was quite fast. Then she turned her attention to Ri Jiu.

"You've been at the Golden Core stage for quite some time now; your cultivation has truly been neglected."

Nichiku: "???"

Why didn't she help me teach Yan Li a lesson? Instead, she complained that my cultivation level was too low.

Ri Jiu said listlessly, "I originally planned to go out and train soon, but now I'm not going to leave. With such a warlike guy here, I'm not at ease. Going out would be pointless."

Yan Li: "How am I belligerent? Why do you have to take a jab at me with every word you say? Are you safe without me?" He glanced at Qi Mu, trying to make him face reality. "There are plenty of people who will make you uneasy."

Qi Mu thought to himself: I didn't participate in anything, but I can't escape the smoke of battle.

Ri Jiu wasn't provoked into dissent, perhaps because he had long believed that he had nothing to do with Qi Mu and was an enemy he knew all along. At least he knew Qi Mu's background, but he didn't know Yan Li's background.

"Sisi, why don't you come with me on this training trip? If we leave, they'll have nowhere to use their strength."

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Qi Mu's expression changed slightly, like a butterfly that had bumped into a tree, its wings curling up. He pursed his lips and said, "How can others accompany you on this training? Besides, with such a large difference in your cultivation levels, if someone is protecting you, where will you feel any sense of crisis? How can you train thoroughly?"

Yao Sisi thought he was just talking about it from the perspective of gaining experience. Although the two of them often bickered, they didn't seem to have done anything to hurt each other. They just childishly compared their strengths. Now that the young master's cultivation level was much higher, he knew how to consider the other's feelings. She was a little gratified: "What the young master said is right. There is a big difference in our cultivation levels. You still have to rely on yourself to gain experience."

Ri Jiu: "..."

Qi Mu, that hypocrite, is tripping me up again!

Yan Li smiled and looked at Ri Jiu with a hint of sympathy. The little fox is so young, she shouldn't be thinking about such things. She should just go out and cultivate obediently!

Ri Jiu is strikingly beautiful, but this beauty is tinged with youthfulness, creating a contradictory and indescribable charm. Perhaps because of her young age, her personality cannot yet suppress her appearance, and her beauty only becomes more apparent when she is silent.

But he loved talking to Yao Sisi the most, wishing he could hang on to her and whisper secrets in her ear.

Perhaps only if he lives for another few hundred or a thousand years can he properly control the degree of beauty cultivated by fox demons.

Yao Sisi comforted her, "Don't be sad. I'll definitely prepare a gift for you if you go out to gain experience."

Rijiu thought to himself: No gift is as important as you, but something is better than nothing.

Anyway, even if he leaves, the hypocrite won't be any better. Let them both suffer losses first!

He planned to avoid the limelight for the time being. "Then I'll go out soon. If there's anything Sisi wants me to keep an eye out for, I'll bring it back for you when I see it."

Yao Sisi: "Didn't I tell you before that I don't need anything special? Just come back safely."

She breathed a sigh of relief after managing to coax one of the naughty children away. Only Yan Li remained. As for Qi Mu?

The young master is usually gentle and refined, never quarrelsome or troublesome, and is very well-behaved. He never causes any trouble, which makes people feel very at ease.

Little did he know that Qi Mu, who was secretly preparing to do something big, could not have guessed that Yao Sisi would think so highly of him.

His actions were simply meant to prevent her from thinking he was difficult to get along with, but he inadvertently went too far in his act.

He glanced at the dejected Rijiu and thought it was good that he left. He was a useless guy who was good for nothing but causing trouble.

Why did Yan Li call him a vixen? Could there be something fishy going on?

His gaze swept over Ri Jiu, but he couldn't see anything different. Unless one had practiced specific spells, ordinary investigation techniques wouldn't work if the other party was intentionally concealing something.

He kept this in mind and would learn a high-level surveying technique the next day.

When Yan Li was brought to Jinming Peak, the usually quiet peak became quite lively. The disciples on the peak were all excited to see a new face, but when they saw the other party's cultivation level, they all became deflated.

Well, this is another one we can't afford to offend. But the plant cultivator's characteristics are not hidden and are clearly exposed. What is a plant cultivator doing here?

Soon, the disciples on the mountain learned the new gossip.

The Peak Master has brought back a Daoist partner!

He was a Dao Lord with very high cultivation.

Within the sect, bets began to be placed on when the two would hold their dual cultivation ceremony. Upon receiving the news, Liu Yuan slipped up to Qi Mu and said, "Young Master, what's going on? I think the disciples have already started to consider that green-haired guy as the Peak Master's Daoist partner."

Qi Mu had been away from the sect for a long time, and when he returned, he had become estranged from the disciples. Moreover, his cultivation level had also increased significantly. While the disciples treated him well on the surface, they rarely included him in their private chats and gatherings.

He could only hear such news from Liu Yuan.

Qi Mu frowned. "It won't happen. They shouldn't even dream about it."

Liu Yuan said urgently, "That's not the point. The key is that everyone thinks that the cultivator has a better chance, but you, young master, have persisted for so many years. How can you be defeated by a stroke of luck!"

He was truly furious, and perhaps his emotions were so intense that even the Daoist body residing within the hairpin was forced out.

Dao Shen said, "She didn't just appear out of nowhere. She might have known him even before your young master! And she's so proactive. She seizes every opportunity to get close to you. Your young master, on the other hand, is like ice in human form. He always keeps a considerable distance, so pure and innocent. It'll take him forever to get anything done."

If anyone else had said that, Liu Yuan would have retorted immediately, but since it was Dao Shen, he couldn't refute it. He could only mutter, "Young Master has been taught; how can he be compared to these unruly children..."

Qi Mu didn't like listening to Dao Shen's words, which boosted the morale of others and diminished his own. "Miss Sisi isn't that kind of person. It's no use trying to get close to her."

Dao Shen said, "How do you know it's useless if you haven't even tried it? If you're too proud to admit it, why don't you let me enter your body and try it? Maybe it'll work!"

Qi Mu pursed her lips, somewhat annoyed: "You're just a soul, so don't even think about female cultivators."

Dao Shen: "???"

"I'm trying to help you, aren't I? You should consider the timing if you're jealous! What time is it? Aren't you afraid you'll end up with nothing?"

Qi Mu retorted, "I'm not jealous, I just think it's wrong to do this."

Dao Shen was so angry his nose almost twisted out of shape. "You're already at the Nascent Soul stage, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for lying? Dare you say you weren't jealous just now?"

Qi Mu stopped talking and carefully took out his sword, wiping it meticulously.

Dao Shen: "..."

Isn't it just the sword that woman gave me? I'll polish it every day and I'm not afraid of grinding an iron pestle into a needle.

At the summit, Yao Sisi was also having a headache. She was unaware that the disciples had already placed their bets on her. All she could think about was how to get Yan Li out of the main hall. He was currently staying there, but this plant cultivator was still ambiguously trying to get close to her, which was really hard to bear.

She had things to do next and didn't have time to waste on romance. Besides, this was definitely not romance; the mountains were completely blocked by heavy snow. She didn't want to have a relationship with someone from another species. She just wanted to focus on her cultivation and completely destroy the artifact spirit first.

She inquired around the entire sect and learned that Yan Li was able to enter the sect directly mainly because part of the sect he used to lead had now merged into the Xuan Yun Sect. There was also a peak specifically for plant cultivators. She heard that the scenery on that peak was extremely beautiful, but it was also somewhat dangerous. Some of the plant cultivators who had not yet taken human form had bad tempers and would accidentally kill disciples. One had to be extremely careful when going there, or carry a protective token given by the sect to withstand attacks.

Even with her current level of cultivation, she still needs to be careful when she goes there.

The transformation of plants is quite extraordinary. Some varieties are equivalent to the transformation of spirits but still cannot transform, while others can transform during the golden elixir stage.

In short, it's quite troublesome.

She went once and never wanted to go a second time.

When she returned from there, she told Yan Li about the situation on the peak, but he replied, "I don't want to go there. Isn't it good for me to stay on Jinming Peak? The open space on the back mountain is perfect for me to grow. I won't harm your disciples either. Why do you want me to leave?"

Yao Sisi: "But it's a bit strange for a plant cultivator like you to be here, especially since there's a strange fire on my peak that clashes with yours."

Yan Li: "I'm not afraid, and what's so strange about it? You've already taken in that little fox, so why can't I be one more?"

He stepped forward, and green branches flew out from behind him automatically, like wings. Those branches moved restlessly toward Yao Sisi, trying to be touched.

Yao Sisi: "Fine, you don't have to go if you don't want to, but stop whining. These branches are making me dizzy from all the swaying. But if you're here, you'll have to go to the sect to get a safety ring."

Yan Li paused, clearly having never heard of this thing before: "What is that?"

Yao Sisi: "It's a bracelet used to prevent plant cultivators and demon cultivators from suddenly going berserk and killing disciples. It's not just for you guys; even I myself would be issued a safety bracelet by the sect if I were in a critical situation, such as going into a qi deviation."

Yan Li: "Okay, I'll go get one and wear it today."

After seeing Yan Li off, Yao Sisi went to a shop in Luoyun City as planned, cleared out the magical artifacts she had on hand, and then purchased some materials.

She recently took on a mission from her sect to refine a storage ring. It's a bit unreasonable that she doesn't even have such a high-level tool for going out.

However, collecting materials was quite troublesome, so she simply accepted the task and used the remaining materials to add some special refining materials to make several storage rings.

The crafting of the ring was time-consuming, so she simply entered the spatial array and gave him one before Ri Jiu went out to train. Inside, she also kept some protective magical artifacts.

"Since you have storage space in your body, I didn't make this storage ring too big for you, but it's still much better than a storage bag. From now on, you don't need to put unimportant things in your body space anymore. There are also some small gadgets inside, remember to check them when you have time."

Ri Jiu's eyes darted around, clearly liking the light blue ring. "Is this a training gift from Si Si? I really like it."

Yao Sisi: "If you like it, that's good. You're all high-level cultivators now, so you really need to use storage rings to maintain appearances."

Not only did she give them away, she also had one for herself. She specially crafted a large storage ring for herself, but she chose a ruby ​​color, different from his.

To be honest, the young master doesn't have a decent storage tool, so he definitely needs a storage ring like this.

What color should I give him?

green?

Or yellow?

Or perhaps... a touch of noble yellow amidst the green?
