Chapter 8: We need to find a way to kill the protagonist.
Ye Luo remembered that this forbidden area trial was the plot point where Bai Ruoqian first showed her talent.
Not only did she acquire a large number of rare and precious materials, but she also successfully reached the Foundation Establishment stage and won the favor of the handsome male protagonist.
It seems this plot point is coming soon.
Nan Muyin: "Only cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages can enter the Spirit Mansion Forbidden Area. Master, please let Third Junior Sister take Fifth Junior Brother and Junior Brother there."
Upon hearing this, Ye Luo hesitated for a moment. He was reluctant; he didn't want to be tortured by the protagonist...
But when he thought of the thousand-year-old spiritual herbs in the forbidden area that could be picked for free, he was tempted. He could sell just one of them for thousands of spirit stones.
Moreover, when he was researching pills to suppress fever, he remembered that there were several spiritual herbs that appeared in the storyline of the Spirit Mansion Forbidden Land.
It seems he has no choice but to take a gamble.
Ming Cang sighed. His second disciple was in seclusion, and his fourth disciple had that unapproachable demeanor... so only his third disciple could lead the team.
"Well, that's all we can do."
"Alright!" Ming Cang noticed the excitement in Yu Qianling's eyes and said seriously, "You brat, don't cause trouble after you go in. The most important thing is to protect your junior brothers!"
"Oh, I know, I know, Master, don't worry!"
Ming Cang's eye twitched. Every time she said that, he felt a chill run down his spine.
After chatting for a while, Ming Cang dismissed everyone.
Just as Ye Luo stepped out of the council hall, Nan Muyin suddenly called out to him, "Senior Brother, is there something you need?"
Nan Muyin looked at him and nodded with satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad. You've already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. It seems you haven't been slacking off."
"Hehe, I'm awesome, aren't I!"
"Yes, Junior Brother is the best!" Nan Muyin smiled and took out a small bag from her storage bag. "This is for you."
"What is it?" Ye Luo looked at the small bag in her hand and probed it with her divine sense. There were actually more than 600 spiritual fruits inside, with a wide variety and abundant spiritual energy.
Besides that, there are also several hundred spirit stones...
"So many spiritual fruits... where did you get them, Senior Brother?"
Nan Muyin just smiled and didn't answer him. She sighed and said, "The spiritual energy here is thin. If we don't rely on these spiritual objects, it will be very difficult for you to successfully establish your foundation with your pseudo-spiritual root aptitude."
Ye Luo's eyes reddened slightly. "Thank you, Senior Brother... I will cultivate diligently."
"Hmm." Nan Muyin stroked his head, looked around, and whispered, "If you think your second senior sister's cooking is bad, take these spirit stones down the mountain and have a treat, but don't let her know about it!"
Hearing this, Ye Luo grinned and said, "Hehe, I got it!"
Nan Muyin cautioned, "When you go to the forbidden area of the Spirit Mansion, remember to be careful. Human greed will be amplified in the face of treasures, and there will definitely be a lot of fighting and plundering. The three of you must help each other."
"Um!"
"I have something to do, so I'll be going now." After saying that, Nan Muyin stepped on her flying sword and transformed into a white light, flying out of the valley.
"Goodbye, Senior Brother!"
Ye Luo returned to her cave with a heavy heart, unable to calm down and cultivate for a long time.
If the story continues as it is in the original novel, not only will the eldest brother die soon, but everyone else will too...
no!
Since he's alright, he can definitely change the plot and save them.
A resolute look appeared in Ye Luo's eyes; she absolutely could not allow them to become stepping stones for the female lead.
So what if they're villains or cannon fodder?
Once their strength reaches a level that inspires awe, who can do anything to them?
Cultivate! Improve!
Forget about male and female leads, I'll wipe them all out!
Seeing Lingquan, Ye Luo suddenly had an idea. She sent a message to her third senior sister and the others. Before long, her third senior sister came rushing over, "I'm here!"
Seeing that she was alone, Ye Luo asked, "Where are Fourth Senior Brother and Fifth Senior Brother?"
"Your fifth senior brother is busy making puppets and doesn't have time. Don't count on your fourth senior brother. Making him stand in a crowd is worse than death, so I'll come alone."
"Ah, this..."
Yu Qianling looked at his cave dwelling, which was almost empty except for a few stone tables and chairs, illustrating what it meant to be destitute.
"Junior brother, although we are cultivators, we can't live such a frugal life. Look at your cave dwelling, there's not a single decoration."
Ye Luo gave a wry smile; what could he do when he was poor?
Yu Qianling made a round, took out some desks, bookshelves, chaise lounges, chairs, stools, etc. from her storage bag, and busied herself setting things up.
"Third Senior Sister... stop what you're doing and come take a look. Is this spiritual spring of any use to you?"
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Yu Qianling looked at the spring pool in front of him with surprise in his eyes. "I didn't expect that our sect, with its thin spiritual energy, would have a spring with a spiritual eye."
She jumped onto the rock, sat cross-legged, and after a moment of meditation, suddenly opened her eyes. "Not bad, not bad, this place is indeed a treasure."
"Third Senior Sister, you can come anytime you need to." Ye Luo was secretly delighted. She decided to first get rid of this battle maniac, as she was a reliable combatant in the sect. She would ignore the other senior brothers for the time being.
"Great! I was just worried about hitting a bottleneck!"
Yu Qianling took out a treasure from her storage bag and casually waved it. It floated on the spring pool, glowing with a faint reddish light, looking soft and fluffy, like a cloud in the sky.
"Third Senior Sister, what is this?"
"This is called Soft Cloud Weave; it's extremely comfortable to lie on."
Yu Qianling lay back on the bed with her hands behind her head, crossed her legs, and said leisurely, "That way I won't take up your spot."
After spending more than a day together, Ye Luo learned that Yu Qianling was originally a talisman cultivator, but she had fallen in love with the fierce and domineering attack style of martial arts cultivators, and as a result, she had left behind her talisman cultivation.
After receiving her guidance, Ye Luo indeed benefited greatly from practicing the art of talismans, avoiding many detours.
"Third Senior Sister, do you know who the sect's master of formations is? I'd like to ask them for their advice on formations."
Yu Qianling frowned and pondered for a moment, "There used to be a senior uncle who was quite accomplished in array formations, but he went out to cultivate and seek opportunities a long time ago, so there shouldn't be any array cultivators left in the sect."
"Oh, okay..." He didn't expect that there wasn't even a single array cultivator in the sect. He still wanted to study array formations.
"By the way, aren't you a pill refiner? Why are you studying talismans and now you want to learn formations?"
"Hehe, I just think that having more skills can give you more ways to save your life."
"You have quite a lot of ideas..."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Luo asked, "Senior Sister, since you were originally a talisman cultivator, why don't you cultivate both martial arts and talisman cultivation?"
"Dual cultivation of two paths? That must be something only an exceptionally talented person could accomplish."
“Senior Sister, it’s you!” Ye Luo said confidently.
Just kidding. The battle maniac of the cultivation world, with his silver spear pointing straight at the sky, is so arrogant. How could he be so arrogant without some talent and skill?
"Dual cultivation of martial arts and talismans...can I do that?" Yu Qianling pondered.
"You can do it, Senior Sister!" Ye Luo continued to encourage her, secretly thinking: As long as she doesn't fall in love with the male lead.
In the original novel, Yu Qianling falls in love with the male protagonist at first sight, and it's a one-sided love, which causes her to develop a demonic obstacle in her cultivation, making it difficult for her to advance any further.
Later, she awakened her demonic phoenix bloodline and went out of control, becoming a demonic entity, which led to her being hunted down by various factions within the Immortal Alliance. Ultimately, the male protagonist led his men to mercilessly kill her, even gouging out her eyes and giving them to the female protagonist to use for weapon forging…
Yu Qianling clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Junior Brother is right, cultivating both martial arts and talismans is not impossible!"
"Third Senior Sister..."
Noticing that Ye Luo's expression was off, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"If you have no man in your heart, your shooting speed will be divine. You must remember this: men will only affect your shooting speed!"
"ah??"
"If you ever meet a man named Yu Xuan in the future, remember to be careful of him and don't be fooled by his appearance!"
"Well……"
Yu Qianling asked, her face full of confusion, "Who is he? Why?"
