late at night.

Danxia Peak.

Qiluo Garden.

Xia Qinglian returned to Ruomei's room and pushed the door open, only to see that the light was still on. Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang were still awake. When they saw her come in, they immediately came forward and grabbed her:

"Junior Sister Ruo, Senior Sister Lin is very angry. She said that no matter how late you come back, she will take you to see her. Come with us now!"

It came as expected.

Xia Qinglian sneered in her heart, did not struggle, and pretended to be panicked as she was dragged away by the two men.

They soon arrived at Lin Qingchou's residence. The deacons and disciples all lived in a separate spacious courtyard, and the environment was much better than that of Qiluo Garden.

Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang escorted Ruomei and stood at the door, bowing and saying:

"Senior Sister Lin, we have brought Ruomei here."

After a while, a majestic voice finally sounded:

"Come in."

Zhou Wan pulled Ruomei and sneered, "You're in trouble this time. Senior Sister Lin is angry."

"Why are you angry, Senior Sister?"

Xia Qinglian looked "confused", Xu Chengfang said:

"We have always been the ones waiting for Senior Sister Lin. You are the first one who made Senior Sister Lin wait for so long."

Xia Qinglian continued to be confused: "Could it be that when the head of Tantai Peak came, she was also waiting for Senior Sister Lin?"

"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? Come in!"

Ruomei was dragged into the house by two people. Sitting in front of a mahogany table was a woman wearing a purple Yang brocade robe and was quite pretty.

If this woman were placed in an outside town, she would be worthy of being called a sect fairy.

But in Xia Qinglian's eyes, it was just a pile of dead meat.

Lin Qingchou frowned and looked at her, and said coldly: "I summoned you today, why didn't you come?"

Xia Qinglian continued to act stupid and said timidly: "Senior Sister, I was watching the Rock Meeting at Huashen Peak today. I was so engrossed in it that I couldn't bear to leave."

Lin Qingchou sneered and looked her up and down: "You have a face like a vixen, so it's no wonder that you're so naughty towards men."

She paused and waved her hand. Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang bowed and saluted: "Senior Sister, we will wait outside."

After saying that, he walked out.

Only Lin Qingchou and Ruomei were left in the room.

Lin Qingchou stood up, walked in front of Ruomei, looked down at her with a playful smile on her face, while Ruomei buried her head with a look of panic.

"Junior sister, don't be afraid. I don't want to punish you. I just want to ask you something."

Lin Qingchou's voice softened and she asked:

"Have you been to Lingdan Pavilion recently?"

Danxia Peak places great emphasis on alchemy, and the peak master, Tan Tai Mingyue, is a sixth-rank alchemist. Therefore, most of the Zhenyang Sect’s elixirs are kept in the Lingdan Pavilion on Danxia Peak.

The Lingdan Pavilion is managed by the eldest disciple of Danxia Peak. However, because the eldest disciple went into seclusion a year ago for cultivation, the management responsibility was shared among several deacon disciples.

Lin Qingchou is one of the people who assists in the management of Lingdan Pavilion.

However, she took advantage of her position to steal several pills.

Ruomei accidentally witnessed this incident, so Lin Qingchou found an opportunity and asked Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang to take her to a secret cliff and kill Ruomei personally.

He then ordered Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang to dispose of the body.

To be cautious, Lin Qingchou wore a mask when killing people.

Afterwards, it was said that Ruomei couldn't bear the hardship of practicing and ran away secretly.

Anyway, he is just an outer disciple with mediocre qualifications, and no one cares about him.

But unexpectedly, there was a huge flaw in this matter - Ruomei was not dead!

Lin Qingchou heard about this incident from Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang after she returned from Yunling Town. She immediately asked for details. The two said that Ruomei seemed to have lost her previous memories and did not even remember that she had been killed.

Lin Qingchou naturally didn't believe it, so she asked Ruomei to come just to test her.

If he finds that Ruomei is not doing well, he will kill her again even if it means taking a risk.

After asking this question, Lin Qingchou stared at Ruomei's face, but saw a blank expression on that pretty little face:

"Spiritual Pill Pavilion? I've never been there. Why do you ask, Senior Sister Lin?"

"Never been there?" Lin Qingchou stared at Ruomei, her voice gradually becoming colder.

"Yes, Senior Sister Lin, have you forgotten? Outer disciples are not qualified to enter the Spiritual Pill Pavilion."

Ruomei blinked her eyes with an innocent look on her face.

Lin Qingchou looked at her, and they stared at each other for a moment. Lin Qingchou suddenly smiled:

"I am the one who is confused. Junior Sister, it is so late, you should go back and rest."

"Okay, Senior Sister Lin, I'm leaving now."

Ruomei smiled and waved at Lin Qingchou, then walked out of the room. Lin Qingchou said:

"Junior sister, call Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang in."

"good."

Ruomei agreed with a smile, and went out to say to the two people waiting outside:

"Senior Sister Lin asked you to go in. I'm going back now. Bye."

The word "goodbye" sounded a bit heavy, but Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang didn't pay attention and quickly walked into Lin Qingchou's room.

"Senior Sister Lin, what can I do for you?" The two of them bowed respectfully.

Lin Qingchou sat elegantly with a calm expression. Apart from her inferior appearance, she did have the demeanor of a sect fairy. She lowered her eyebrows and said calmly:

"Tomorrow night, you two will kill her."

"Senior Sister, this..."

Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang looked at each other, both a little hesitant, Zhou Wan said:

"Senior Sister, we clearly watched her die last time. I think Ruomei is a little weird..."

Lin Qingchou interrupted her: "Tomorrow is the selection for the Six Peaks Outer Sect Competition. I will create an opportunity for you and handle it more cleanly this time."

Zhou Wan and Xu Chengfang dared not say anything more and could only agree:

"……yes."

Ruomei, don't blame us. You will not be able to survive if you offend Senior Sister Lin.

…

The next day.

Huashen Peak.

The Wanshi Peak is where the outer disciples live.

[Cultivation +2]

[Cultivation +1]

…

Qin Gengyun sat cross-legged on the ground, practicing with his eyes closed.

My cultivation is improving slowly and continuously. If it continues like this, by the middle of next month, after the outer sect competition, my foundation building will have reached its peak.

However, Qin Gengyun has no plans to reach the Golden Elixir stage immediately, as he still does not have a true method of cultivation.

When he was a casual cultivator, he had been practicing the popular longevity techniques, while his wife had taught him the art of killing, not the basic methods.

Therefore, although his combat power is stronger than that of cultivators of the same level, his foundation may not be better than others.

After entering the inner gate, you will be able to practice higher-level skills, and perhaps find a skill that suits you.

Qin Gengyun could increasingly understand his wife's painstaking efforts.

The martial arts that his wife practiced were not suitable for him, so she tried to get him into the Zhenyang Sect, which was also to lay a solid foundation for him.

Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, and Chen Danfeng's voice rang out from outside the door:

"Junior Brother He."

Qin Gengyun stood up and opened the door, and was stunned:

"Senior Sister Chen, what are you doing..."

Chen Danfeng has returned to his burly and rugged appearance. Apparently he went back last night and re-cultivated the Snow Armor Heavenly Seal and wrapped himself up in it.

Chen Danfeng, who had turned into an iron tower again, glanced at him and said coldly:

"Senior Brother Cheng asked you to go and train with him."

Qin Gengyun smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

He would love to have someone who has higher attainments in physical training than himself to accompany him in physical training.

Chen Danfeng turned and left, and Qin Gengyun followed behind.

The two walked in silence for a while, and Qin Gengyun suddenly asked:

"Senior Sister Chen, do you know the hot spring south of Stubborn Stone Peak?"
