"No, you have to go, and Master has a task for you."
"Master, please speak."
"Collect more spiritual herbs and medicines; Master wants to research some new pill formulas."
"But if I go to the secret realm, will Master... will he favor other men?"
Ning Yan was speechless: "For the past few thousand years, I have never had a man. I will not die without a man."
Lin Fenghan was satisfied with his master's assurance and left.
Autumn goes and spring comes, spring after spring, and Piaomiao Peak has undergone great changes.
If we're talking about the wealthiest handyman disciple on Misty Peak right now, it has to be Diao Zui, who can cook.
Now her culinary skills have become famous throughout the entire Xianwu Sect. When the disciples have spirit stones, the first thing they think of is to buy her cooking to satisfy their appetites.
The elders who had heard Ning Yan preach all loved to run to Ning Yan's Misty Peak. They never came empty-handed. They were all sensible and obedient, bringing her not only top-quality ingredients but also some good cultivation resources for the Ancestor to reward her disciples.
Ning Yan accepted all comers. Over time, she would help them modify their cultivation methods and recuperate their bodies. These modifications and recuperations resulted in the elders' cultivation levels improving again!
As a result, the once quiet and desolate Misty Peak became bustling with activity because of Ning Yan's presence. Diao Zui's kitchen was expanded time and time again, and forty more handyman disciples were recruited on the peak. Ning Yan's life became more and more comfortable.
A life where you're fawned over by everyone is what real life is all about!
So much so that when her only apprentice returned, he barely recognized Misty Peak.
"It'll be lively, and it'll get even more lively in the future."
Upon seeing his master, Lin Fenghan completely disregarded the reason for his own drastic change and immediately led him into the bedchamber to ease his longing.
"Master, I haven't missed you for a single moment in these ten years. Do you miss me?"
"Um."
What are you thinking about?
Ning Yan: ……
...
"Master, look, these are the spiritual fruits and teas I brought back for you from the secret realm, as well as many spiritual herbs. The life-saving items you gave me have been used up quite a bit. That secret realm is really too big, and there are many high-level demonic beasts. More than a dozen disciples that the sect brought there this time died."
As soon as he had a moment to himself, Lin Fenghan began to talk non-stop, and Ning Yan lay there listening.
"By the way," he began to transmit his voice, "Disciple tried to kill Sheng Xinyue three times. Logically speaking, disciple is two major realms higher than her and should be able to easily annihilate her. The first time, she escaped using a talisman."
The second time, she did die, but after I left, she came back to life.
The third time, my sword was about to pierce her heart, but it just went astray, and then Mei Yixing rescued her.
The disciple then tried to kill Mei Yixing, but he was even more strange; it seemed he grew stronger the more he killed.
If it weren't for the many good things his master gave him, he suspected he might have been killed by those two.
"You didn't give yourself away, did you?" Getting stronger the more you kill? That probably means Mei Yixing has had another extraordinary encounter.
Lin Fenghan shook his head firmly: "Absolutely not. I always use an invisibility talisman before I make a move."
Ning Yan immediately relaxed, "That's good, then we don't need to test each other anymore."
“It’s really not necessary anymore. After I gave up, they had two more children in the secret realm.”
One is seven years old and the other is three years old; one is a boy and the other a girl.
Having children in the cultivation world is truly difficult. Even though they consumed the pills personally refined by Ning Yan, they only managed to have two children in ten years.
Lin Fenghan was already at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and with Ning Yan's guidance, he also knew some techniques of observing qi.
When they left the secret realm, the luck of those two people really did weaken.
However, Mei Yilin has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.
This is normal. After all, he is the favored son of Heaven, a genius. It is only natural that he can advance quickly and easily overcome tribulations.
"You should focus on your cultivation. I'll go and study the spiritual herbs you brought back, and refine them into pills while I'm at it."
She casually tossed him another spatial ring. Over the past ten years, she would tinker with things whenever she had free time. There was no other way; her disciples would come to her from time to time to offer sacrifices, and there were too many things, so she would refine them for them.
Lin Fenghan smiled, his eyes crinkling. "Thank you, Master."
His master secretly gave him cultivation supplies again. How could this not be a sign of his love for him?
...
Ninety years later.
The sect leader sent a message ordering all elders and above to attend a meeting in the sect's main hall, as the seal on the demon race had been loosened.
Some demons have already caused trouble in the human realm. As the number one sect in the cultivation world, we must shoulder the heavy responsibility of maintaining peace in the human realm.
Ning Yan, the ancestor, sat at the head of the table in silence.
In the end, Mei Yixing was surprisingly chosen as the team leader, responsible for clearing out the demon race's strongholds in the cultivation world.
That makes sense. Mei Yixing, who was so prominent in the Immortal Sect, only took a little over a hundred years to reach the Void Refinement Realm, which is quite impressive.
In recent decades, Mei Yixing has become increasingly proud. However, it is understandable. On the surface, he and Sheng Xinyue are a couple. After all, they have four children, two sons and two daughters. They are a loving couple. Sheng Xinyue's cultivation level is only slightly lower than his, but she is also at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
At such a young age, not even two hundred years old, he has already entered the Void Refinement stage; he is absolutely a genius unparalleled in the cultivation world.
What others don't know is that in their previous life, they reached the Tribulation Transcending Realm in just over a hundred years, but in this life, their advancement speed is obviously slower.
Moreover, in the decades that followed, whenever Mei Yixing left the sect, Ning Yan would follow him. All of his opportunities were snatched away by Ning Yan, who was determined not to let those two beasts have them even if she didn't need them.
As a result, the luck of those two gradually declined.
After they left, the disciples on Misty Peak also took action. With chaos about to begin, it was the perfect time to earn merit, so why stay on the mountain?
With just one word from Ning Yan, Lin Fenghan led his men down the mountain.
"Master, wait for me to come back."
Ning Yan nodded and watched the group board the flying boat and sail away.
In the following years, not only the Immortal Sect, but many other sects joined the extermination campaign. The seal on the demons could not hold them back, and in the fourth year, they began a large-scale attack on the cultivation world.
Listening to the daily battle reports, the sect leader asked in a low voice, "Grandmaster Uncle, isn't it time yet?"
Ning Yan sat calmly in the chair, holding the ice bowl her disciple had just made, and ate it with great relish.
"Since Heaven has foretold a great calamity, then this calamity must happen; it is better to guide than to block."
The demons are always like this: when they see they can't win or have suffered a loss, they retreat to the demon realm, and once they've recovered, they come back with a vengeance.
"Why not just wipe them all out in one fell swoop?"
"Also, you've reached the Tribulation Transcending stage now, don't you want to try climbing the Heavenly Ladder as well?"
The sect leader thought about it, so he behaved himself.
If any sect or other sect tries to argue with him, he immediately goes into a frenzy of verbal attacks, as if he's on steroids.
This concerns his ascension to immortality; anyone who stands in his way will die (gets roasted)!
Fortunately, although both the human and demon races suffered casualties in the war, everything was under control. In this life, because those two were too weak, they didn't have time to set up a grand formation to harm the people of the Immortal Wu Sect.
But Ning Yan had already set up a grand formation for the demons, waiting for their final tremor. (End of Chapter)
