When exactly did these people arrive?
Ruan Xinrou's face turned pale instantly.
Unbeknownst to her, Lin Yizhi was quietly giving Bai Ying a thumbs-up at the edge of the crowd.
Seeing that things were not going well, he didn't go forward to mediate, but instead called a group of people from outside to watch the show.
Ruan Xinrou's eyes instantly reddened; she had always presented a gentle and charming image to others.
I wonder how many of these people have watched it?
She explained, "I just really like that jade pendant. I can trade it with my senior sister for something very precious."
As she spoke, she took out a spiritual herb.
This spiritual herb is indeed very valuable; it's more than enough to exchange for a mere decorative jade pendant.
If this had happened before, her fellow disciples would have praised her for being beautiful and kind-hearted, for exchanging something so valuable for a good-for-nothing.
They would also say that Bai Ying made a profit.
But no one at the scene praised her. Instead, someone said sarcastically, "It's just a Spirit-Breaking Grass. Don't you see how much Bai Ying just got in the trial? How could she possibly care about this Spirit-Breaking Grass?"
"That's right! Don't assume someone's made a profit just because they offer a single spiritual herb. Don't you even consider whether they're willing to accept it?"
"How could Qingzhu Peak be like this? If we hadn't come, I would never have imagined that Bai Ying would be treated so badly! Is this how you bully people?"
The group of people Lin Yizhi summoned were all fanatics who had just witnessed Bai Ying's trial.
They all wanted to cheer for Bai Ying, and now that they saw Ruan Xinrou bullying Bai Ying like this, they wanted to tear her apart.
Their mouths, of course, were equally unrestrained.
Since arriving at the sect, Ruan Xinrou has received nothing but praise and has never seen so much criticism.
Her eyes were truly red, and tears streamed down her face. "I'm sorry, I just liked it."
"If you like it, I'll give it to you! If you like the sky, should I pluck the sky down and give it to you?"
"You're so shameless. Who do you think you are? Why should I give it to you just because you like it?"
This was the first time Ruan Xinrou had faced so much malice, and she was completely flustered.
She felt her luck points draining away rapidly, and ran away crying.
"Junior Sister!" Liu Qingyue glared at Bai Ying fiercely, then ran out after her.
Su Yu had a headache, but she had no choice but to chase after the two of them.
The group of people outside ignored them and instead showered Bai Ying with concern.
This was the first time Bai Ying had been liked by so many people, and she was completely stunned.
Recalling her past life, she was abandoned by everyone and treated like a rat in the street, being pointed at and gossiped about wherever she went.
Now so many people are speaking up for her.
Lin Yizhi waved his hand at the group: "Alright, alright, that's enough. I have something to discuss with the boss, you can all leave now."
After the crowd dispersed, Bai Ying sincerely thanked Lin Yizhi.
"Why thank me? I just realized for the first time that the you that Ruan Xinrou talked about and herself seem to be reversed. It turns out that she is the one who is really scheming! I'm so annoyed that I was actually fooled by her before. Boss, don't be mad at me."
No, it won't.
"Boss, I need to talk to you about something." Lin Yizhi's friend had just asked him for help, and he immediately thought of Bai Ying.
"A friend of mine discovered a few Purple Jade Ganoderma lucidum mushrooms, but they're being protected by Netherworld Spiders. He's looking for help to kill them. After we kill them, we can split two mushrooms plus a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. Boss, are you interested?"
Bai Ying had previously exhausted all her spirit stones in her attempt to kill the Azure Flood Dragon. Now, hearing that there were so many, she naturally nodded in agreement.
“Okay, then I’ll contact my friend. Three days from now, when the yin energy dissipates, the spider will be at its weakest. We’ll go and kill it together then.”
After seeing Lin Yizhi off, Bai Ying took out the jade pendant that Ruan Xinrou had wanted to take earlier.
This jade pendant was a gift from an old beggar when she gave him a bowl of rice. The jade was of very poor quality; even in the mortal world, it would be considered the worst kind.
Bai Ying didn't think it was anything special and casually put it in her box.
Now it seems that there is more to this jade pendant than meets the eye.
Bai Ying held the jade pendant in her palm and tried to understand it, but gained nothing.
It seems that this jade pendant can only be activated under special conditions.
Bai Ying wasn't in a hurry. She put the jade pendant away and took out her incense burner.
This incense burner was made based on the Xuan Tian Furnace, a magical artifact from my previous life. Because I didn't have the right materials, I could only make a replica.
Now that it has the Mystic Crystal and the Dragon Horn, although it is still far from its former form, it has been greatly enhanced.
Bai Ying carefully lit the spirit fire, and then gently placed the incense burner on it.
The mystic crystal burned fiercely in her hand, turning into a liquid solution that slowly flowed toward the incense burner.
The incense burner stood suspended in mid-air, rotating continuously and absorbing the solution little by little.
Bai Ying watched the process intently, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Then she took out the horn of the Azure Dragon and began to refine it in the same way.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Gradually, the surface of the incense burner seemed to be gently caressed by a mysterious force, radiating a deep and mysterious glow.
Bai Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Five pieces of Xuanjin stone and a pair of azure dragon horns only raised the incense burner's grade by one level. Although it appears to be only a mid-grade magic artifact, it was tempered by spiritual fire, making it far more powerful than ordinary high-grade magic artifacts.
Because the spirit beasts they had hunted earlier still needed to be auctioned off at the auction house, the progress was too slow. Bai Ying then sold some magical artifacts to earn some spirit stones, which she used to power the incense burner. When the time came, she and Lin Yizhi headed to the agreed location together.
Before Bai Ying and Lin Yizhi arrived, there were already four people waiting for them there.
Those people trusted Lin Yizhi's recommendation, as they originally thought that Lin Yizhi would at least bring a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert with him.
But the moment they saw Bai Ying, they were all shocked.
Bai Ying was only a cultivator in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. She wasn't wearing any spiritual robes, and the only magic weapon she carried was a mid-grade incense burner.
One of them had even seen Bai Ying before; a few days ago, when he went to the mortal market, he saw Bai Ying selling low-grade magical artifacts there. He had assumed she was a magical artifact dealer.
The group looked at Lin Yizhi speechlessly. They knew he was unreliable, but he couldn't be this unreliable.
They had finally waited for the perfect time to hunt the Nether Spider, and they only had one chance. Who knew this guy would do this?
The four of them cursed their bad luck.
The leader among them clearly didn't want to give up this opportunity. "You'll all listen to me then," he said, and could only tell Lin Yizhi's friends to stay away.
To his surprise, Lin Yizhi interrupted him with unusual pride: "No need, just listen to my boss when the time comes."
Bai Ying said in a deep voice, "You just need to use your magic weapons to kill them directly."
The four were even more shocked. What difference was there between this and having no commander at all?
What kind of nonsense is this?
