Chapter 29 Communication, the arrival of the master of the Ice and Fire Eyes
"By the way, Sister Ling Yuan, are you about to report to the teacher again?"
"Yes, the report needs to be submitted tomorrow."
"You can say anything else, but don't include the matter of the Ice and Fire Eyes."
"The Ice and Fire Eyes?"
Ling Yuan paused for a moment, then looked at the two-colored hot spring next to her and understood Qin Mu's meaning.
"Why? Although I don't know anything about Immortal Herbs, the one you gave me looks pretty much like the herbs here."
"If the elders of the Spirit Hall eat them, wouldn't our Spirit Hall become even stronger?"
Qin Mu glanced at Ling Yuan speechlessly.
"If you're not afraid of dying, then write it in."
"I might as well tell you that there are more than a dozen kinds of Immortal Herbs here that have similar effects to the one I gave you."
"In other words, if the Immortal Herbs here are divided equally, almost all the elders of the Spirit Hall can increase their soul power by one or two levels."
Ling Yuan gasped, staring in astonishment at the unassuming Immortal Herbs on the ground.
"But! If you take these Immortal Herbs back, they will easily find out that you have already eaten them beforehand."
"I don't even need to complain; you've already sold yourself out."
Qin Mu continued to frighten Ling Yuan.
Most of what he said wasn't deceiving Ling Yuan, but Qin Mu didn't want to expose the Ice and Fire Eyes' main purpose was still that spendthrift woman, Bibi Dong.
No sooner had he given these Immortal Herbs to Bibi Dong than she might find Yu Xiaogang and give them to that good-for-nothing, or even to Tang San.
Qin Mu would never allow such a thing to happen.
As long as Bibi Dong hasn't severed ties with Yu Xiaogang, he will absolutely not give her any opportunities.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yuan shuddered and quickly shook her head.
"Also, from now on, every time you write a report, let me read it first. After I've read it, you can then pass it on to the teacher."
Ling Yuan's heart, which had just settled down, instantly jumped again.
"Does this mean I'm being manipulated by you?"
What do you think?
Seeing the undisguised ugliness on Ling Yuan's face, Qin Mu went over to comfort her.
"Sister Ling Yuan, you know me."
"If someone treats me with respect, I will repay them tenfold. That's my style of doing things."
"As long as you don't hide it from me like before, I promise you, the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is just the first step in your advancement!"
Ling Yuan was still a little annoyed that someone had a hold over her, but her expression softened slightly after hearing Qin Mu's assurance.
Seeing that Ling Yuan was already somewhat swayed, Qin Mu immediately started dangling carrots in front of her again.
"Sister Ling Yuan, your soul bones aren't full yet, are they?"
"Don't worry, as long as you follow me well from now on, you'll definitely get your share of soul bones."
If increasing soul power was already enough to entice Ling Yuan, then the soul bone would undoubtedly be the final blow to shatter Ling Yuan's defenses.
"You...do you know what you're saying?"
"Don't think that just because you have an external soul bone, soul bones are easy to obtain."
"There are only a handful of elders in the Spirit Hall who possess soul bones, and even I only have two!"
Ling Yuan feigned disbelief, but her heavy breathing betrayed her inner excitement.
"Sister Ling Yuan, I'll say it again: when have I ever lied to you?"
Seeing that the time was ripe, Qin Mu began to close the net.
"You may not have a soul bone right now, but there is a place where you can break through."
Qin Mu led Ling Yuan to the edge of the blazing Yang spring.
"The Phoenix Sunflower you just took has improved you a lot, but its medicinal effects have not yet been fully realized."
"Now, you will enter the Yang spring to cultivate and stimulate the medicinal properties of the Phoenix Sunflower."
"You'll break through to level 95 in less than a day!"
First draw a picture of a pancake, then give it an egg to eat.
Who can withstand such a test?
In just a short while, Ling Yuan's heart was on the rise and fall, like riding a roller coaster.
This was arguably the most exciting day Ling Yuan had experienced in decades.
"You're not lying to me?!"
She already had the answer in her heart, but Ling Yuan still instinctively asked a question.
"Whether it is or not, you'll know once you go in and cultivate for a day, won't you?"
Ling Yuan looked at the seemingly cold Yang spring in front of her, and her lips couldn't help but feel a little dry.
Suddenly, Ling Yuan's gaze fell on Qin Mu beside her.
She discovered that she was far superior to Qin Mu in both age and ability.
But when facing Qin Mu, she could only passively fall into his rhythm.
Qin Mu knew far more than she did.
She seemed to have never truly understood Qin Mu.
"Qin Mu, how do you know so much? Just who are you?"
"Sister Ling Yuan, don't think too much. I'm just your younger brother. If you really want to know why, I just want you to improve a little more so that you can protect me."
"After all, I may have many enemies in the future."
Upon hearing Qin Mu's words, Ling Yuan was taken aback and naturally assumed that Qin Mu was referring to the Clear Sky Sect.
But what about the Clear Sky Sect?
"Tch, don't worry, as long as I'm alive, they won't be able to touch you!"
Ling Yuan proudly raised her chin, feeling unusually smug after her breakthrough.
It seemed that Qin Mu had shown Ling Yuan his vulnerable side, and Ling Yuan was no longer as unnatural as before.
Ling Yuan boldly patted Qin Mu's head and found that Qin Mu did not show any dissatisfaction, which instantly melted away the last layer of unease in Ling Yuan's heart.
With a splash, Ling Yuan jumped into the scorching Yang spring. After a few bubbles rose slightly on the surface of the spring, it gradually became still.
Qin Mu, who was standing to the side, casually found a place to sit cross-legged and began to cultivate.
Having just consumed the Star Anise Ice Grass, Qin Mu naturally dared not consume any more of the other Immortal Herbs.
Only after fully absorbing the medicinal power of the Star Anise Ice Grass will Qin Mu consider taking other Immortal Herbs.
In the blink of an eye, a day has passed.
When Qin Mu emerged from his meditative state, the blazing Yang spring within the Ice and Fire Eyes began to surge continuously.
Like boiling water, the bubbles in the scorching Yang spring grew larger and larger. With a burst of soaring momentum, Ling Yuan rode the waves and rose up. Having broken through to level ninety-five, she felt a wonderful sensation throughout her body.
"Qin Mu, did you see that? I'm already level 95!"
The first thing Ling Yuan did after breaking through was naturally to come to Qin Mu's side and show off to him like a child who had a new toy.
"Now, with the Phoenix Fire, I am even capable of fighting against the old man from the Hall of Priests!"
"As expected of Sister Ling Yuan, you're truly amazing!"
Qin Mu was generous with his praise, which made Ling Yuan a little embarrassed.
"Oh, right, I still need to report to the Pope."
Ling Yuan took out a piece of paper from her personal storage soul tool and wrote down their recent movements, but concealed the fact that she was at the Ice and Fire Eyes.
Is this okay?
After taking a look and finding nothing seriously wrong, Qin Mu sent Ling Yuan away from the Ice and Fire Eyes to deliver a message, while he stayed behind to continue his cultivation.
However, not long after Ling Yuan left the Ice and Fire Eyes, a figure dressed in dark green appeared on the outskirts of Sunset Forest.
