Using Wind Law, Lin Yi arrived in a nearby forest at a small market. There stood Li Yuan Qing with his hands behind his back, standing straight like a sword.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Li,” he said, bowing in salutation.

Li Yuan Qing turned his head and said in a calm tone, “No need for formalities. Your contribution in assisting the Patrol Team to eradicate the evil spirits has been acknowledged. You should receive 300 points in total, including an additional 100 points as compensation for the talismans you’ve depleted.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Lin Yi hurriedly expressed his gratitude. With the 300 points, plus the 100 points from Zhang Yuan Cheng, he now had 400 points in total — enough to select a suitable body refining technique and save some spirit stones.

After all, some cultivation techniques and spells are sect secrets and not easily spread. Thus, those sold at Qing Yun City’s shops are typically common and affordable.

Li Yuan Qing casually waved his hand and said slowly, “I assume you heard today’s announcement from the Inner Sect. The mastermind behind the recent evil spirits incident is the Xuan Yin Sect, a sworn enemy of our sect. The Sect Master has decided to launch a counterattack to avenge this grudge.”

“The Exorcism Charms you made are powerful and effective against evil spirit ghost cultivators. Would you be willing to join this counterattack? You would only need to stay at the base camp to produce talismans. I will assign people to ensure your safety, and after the counterattack, I could recommend you for admission to the Inner Sect.”

A flicker of thought crossed Lin Yi’s face. As he’d predicted, it was about the counterattack. The temptation of joining the Inner Sect was great, but not enough for him to take the risk. He had researched nearby sects and knew that the Xuan Yin Sect’s strength was in no way inferior to that of the Liu Yun Sect; they perhaps even had a slight advantage.

It was rumoured that the Xuan Yin Sect had an ancestral figure with Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivation. While the Liu Yun Sect also had a Nascent Soul

Ancestor, their Nascent Soul Mid Stage cultivation was revealed a century ago. However, since then, they haven’t appeared in public, and he wasn’t sure whether they had made any breakthroughs in the past hundred years.

His concern was not about the strength of the sects, but if he participated in the counterattack, even if they kept it secret, the fact that he was making Exorcism Charms would undoubtedly get out. After all, walls have ears.

Once the Xuan Yin Sect disciples learned of his Exorcism Charms’ potent power, they would certainly try to kill him. There would inevitably be spies from the enemy among the two sects, putting him in grave danger.

Although his real cultivation level had reached the Qi Refinement Sixth Layer, he would still be cannon fodder on the battlefield between the two sects. Therefore, he couldn’t join the counterattack; it was safer for him to lie low and improve his cultivation.

Li Yuan Qing seemed to sense his hesitation, waved his hand, and said, “You don’t need to respond immediately. This is just an early notification. I will get back to you after tomorrow’s sect assembly.” After saying that, he stepped onto his flying sword and disappeared into the sky.

Watching Li Yuan Qing’s departing figure, Lin Yi shook his head. He had already thought about his response for tomorrow. However, if Li Yuan Qing requests him to join based on the favour of last time, he would have no choice but to agree. Indeed, there’s no debt more challenging to repay than a favour.

Considering this, he couldn’t afford to rest anymore; he had to speed up his cultivation. He made up his mind to first visit Qing Yun City to check on Lady Yuan Yuan’s safety. If possible, he wanted to use the effect of ‘Color is Void’ to soon enhance his talisman-making skill to the highest level.

If he was sure he couldn’t avoid joining the counterattack tomorrow, he would temporarily abandon the Body Refinement Technique. In fact, he wouldn’t be able to generate any combat power anytime soon with Body Refinement, while learning an attack spell would be different.

To counterattack a sect wasn’t something that could be done instantly. It would definitely need careful preparation. Therefore, there should be at least a month’s time after the counterattack order is issued. This would give him plenty of time to practice spells.

Using Wind Law, Lin Yi quickly headed towards Qing Yun City. Although it resumed its bustling scene, it was still far less crowded compared to before the evil spirits incident. The number of people had clearly decreased significantly.

Several buildings in the city had also been destroyed. In addition to the damage caused by the evil spirits, many took advantage of the chaos to create turmoil.

Many places in Qing Yun City hung white mourning banners, indicating that a death had occurred in the family. The streets were bustling, but cries could be heard continuously from the alleys.

From the number of people in the city, it seemed that many had died. When Green Jade Zhen Ren announced the truth tomorrow, he would probably also publicise the number of deaths occurred during the evil spirits incident.

This would ignite the anger of the sect’s disciples or loose cultivators outside. Subsequently, the counterattack order would be issued under the pretense of righteousness.

Firstly, Lin Yi went to a teahouse and waited for a while. He saw Xu Zhi Wu looking extremely disheveled. He must have suffered a lot, but it was already pretty good that he could survive in the city.

Xu Zhi Wu said that he also learned about today’s announcement from the Liu Yun Sect and decided to leave Qing Yun City for some time. After all, if a counterattack was launched against a sect, Qing Yun City might be the first to bear the brunt of the retaliation.

Lin Yi agreed and nodded. In this tumultuous time, leaving for a while was the correct choice. He had initially wanted to give him some traveling expenses, but Xu Zhi Wu adamantly refused, saying that he hadn’t exhausted the spirit stones from last time. Afterward, he bowed to Lin Yi and left the teahouse.

After sending off Xu Zhi Wu, Lin Yi went to Flower Moon Land where Lady Yuan Yuan resided. The place was named ‘Flower Joy Tavern’. The meaning was clear; it was a place to seek pleasure. If it were on Earth, it would have been mistaken for a flower shop.

This place appeared intact. There were already some girls standing at the entrance, ready to welcome guests. Regardless of the peace or chaos, locations like Flower Moon Place always operated regularly.

Upon entering, a middle-aged woman came forward, her face full of surprise, “Ah, Master Lin has arrived! Please come in. You really adore Yuan Yuan. As soon as the evil spirits in the Outer Sect were cleared, you couldn’t wait to come over. Yuan Yuan, hurry up…”

At this moment, there were also many guests drinking and making merry in the lobby, probably to vent the fear and anxiety they had during the evil spirits incident.

Yuan Yuan, dressed in a green skirt, ran out from the inside at a brisk pace. Seeing Lin Yi, she looked delighted and quickly performed a salute, “Yuan Yuan greets Master Lin. I’ve been so worried these past few days.”

“Lady Yuan Yuan, please rise. Now that I see you’re fine, I can rest assured. I wonder if you are able to attend to guests today.” Lin Yi smiled and asked.

“Of course, Master Lin, let’s go upstairs for your cultivation.” Yuan Yuan nodded, took hold of Lin Yi’s hand, and led him towards the stairs.

After going upstairs, she got down on her knees first, “Master, thank you for saving my life. The Exorcism Charms you provided saved my life.”

Lin Yi quickly helped Yuan Yuan up. Listening to her recount the events, he understood that the Flower Joy Tavern was also invaded by evil spirits. Several girls died there. She had followed his instructions, tore up the charm paper, soaked it in water, and then used the charm water to seal the room door, thus escaping danger.

“It seems you have gone through some perilous circumstances. Lady Yuan Yuan, if you feel uncomfortable, feel free to share it. We don’t need to cultivate today.” He spoke calmly to Yuan Yuan.

“The slave was a little worried before, but after seeing the Master, I feel delighted from the bottom of my heart. Please allow me to assist you in your cultivation.” Yuan Yuan said, her face flushed and alluring as she placed her hand on Lin Yi and began their cultivation session..
