e sofa, playing with her nails and asked."Aren't all of us gathered here because we were directly or indirectly harmed by Wu Lianyi Who doesn't want revenge Who wants to endure this for a lifetime Who...Yun Ru Bin refined the medicinal pill's spiritual energy, soothing his internally injured organs. He then opened his eyes and scanned his storage ring, discovering that the harvest from his last mission had been used up almost entirely.

At this point, Yun Ru Bin's appearance is a far cry from his former glory and elegance during his time at the Wuyun Sect. He could only be described as merely presentable.

He already regrets it, regrets that he had an ambiguous relationship with Du in the beginning, hurting Lian Yi. In the end, he drove his junior sister away from him, and even involved things with demon cultivators.

If Du Le was still alive, he would have taken care of the other party immediately. He ended up in this situation, it must be related to Du Le. Especially after hearing from Qiao Lianyi that Du Le could even steal luck, he felt a chill down his spine.

He was certain his luck had been snatched away, otherwise he, a Jindan mid-stage cultivator, could have easily become an elder in a small sect. Yet, here he was, living such a miserable life, each task he accepted was completed with unimaginable peril.

He had to take on missions to cultivate resources, but the spirit stones earned from completing missions couldn't sustain his long-term closed-door cultivation. After all, cave dwellings were rented with spirit stones, and if you wanted to live in a place with abundant spiritual energy, you would have to spend more spirit stones.

So every once in a while, he had to leave his cave to take on missions and then use the payment to support his cultivation.

Thinking back to his spiritual cave on the main peak, Yun Ruibin regretted it deeply, but he dared not return. He was afraid of the interrogation from the disciplinary hall and even more afraid of seeing his master and his junior sister again.

R ripples sneezed, she rubbed her nose and said:

"Who's thinking of me"

"Master, it must be someone who likes you."

The whirlwind immediately relayed, "

">

At this point, the whirlwind was already a Level 4 spirit beast. Thanks to Ripple, her master's powerful support, when the whirlwind advanced to the Yuanying stage, it also advanced to Level 4 smoothly. Its shape shrank again, resembling a newly born kitten. But if you underestimate the whirlwind, you'll be at a disadvantage.

This time when Lian Ri left, he didn't take Zi Yun Gui with him. He left him behind at his main peak to cultivate. Anyway, Zi Yun liked quiet and disliked movement, so he felt safer staying inside the sect.

Duo Duo moved through the space like a fish in water, relying on the Lingmai and Lingquan to elevate herself to the third level. She quietly rested upon the ripples in her hair bun, enjoying the benefits of her master's cultivation. As her master ventured out for training, she diligently left the space.

After leaving the Wu Yun Sect, Lian Yi utilized the Hidden Heaven Scripture to conceal her cultivation at the Golden Core Mid-Stage. She also changed her face. This time, she came out not only to find Yun Ru Bin, that scumbag, but also to eliminate Du Le Le's older brother. She had no habit of leaving herself vulnerable.

After leaving Wuyun Sect for a year, Lianyi arrived at a place called Guiyue City. This city was a mixed city of immortals and mortals, named Guiyue City because it was planted with laurel trees everywhere.

And the mortals who reside in Guihua City are not ordinary mortals. Here, all mortals have relatives who are cultivators. Cultivators who have achieved enlightenment are willing to move their mortal families to the Immortal City to live, otherwise they would be ineligible to reside in such a city.

Places with spiritual nourishment, even ordinary mortals live long lives. People living here have a higher chance of giving birth to children with spiritual roots, so this city of Laurel has always been prosperous.

After reaching Laurel City, Ripples went straight to the teahouse with her whirlwind. This place was a hub for spreading news. The teahouse she chose allowed mortals to come in and drink tea as well, of course they paid with spirit orbs.

The ripples is a cultivator, she was naturally invited upstairs. After taking her seat, she ordered a pot of spiritual tea and a plate of snacks, and began to listen carefully to the discussions among the people in the teahouse.

After the spirit tea and snacks were served, Lian Ri paid five low-grade spirit stones before speaking:

"Have you heard that a child of an ordinary person has gone missing in Guiyue City recently"

"As soon as the companion put away the spirit stones, he heard Lian Ri's question and lowered his voice to reply:

"

"I know about this. Recently, several children have gone missing in the city. However, these children were all born into ordinary families. The people here have united and hired several spirit masters to find them, but unfortunately, none of them have had any success."

"Did you not find the child, or did you find nothing at all"

"The child was never found, and they didn't find anything."

The companion's voice lowered in response.

What level of cultivation are the immortals you're looking for

"An ancestor at the Golden Core stage."

After hearing this, Ripples sent her clerk away. She waited until the whirlwind dried the plate of snacks and then got up to go to the city lord's mansion in Laurel City to take on this mission.

The process of taking on the task was smoother than she had imagined. After all, with several mortal children lost, these immortal masters weren't paying much attention.

Ripples received the mission badge and, after checking the basic information of this mission, went with a whirlwind to inquire about the situation at those several mortal families who had lost their children.

These few families were all shrouded in despair. Upon learning that Lianyi had taken on the task of finding their children, each one treated her as a guest of honor.

Three days later, Lianyi had gathered most of the information she wanted. She then picked a guesthouse to stay in and instructed DuoDuo:

"Go greet the laurel trees, and on a night when the moon has vanished, keep an eye on the city for any disturbances. Let me know if you notice anything unusual."

"Yes, master."

Dodo directly climbed onto the laurel tree in the inn's courtyard to deliver the message.

"Master, who did you say stole the child"

"According to the message passed from the laurel tree, it should be a heretic."

"Are they raising children to practice evil arts"

It's hard to say, they choose to steal children, it's not like they just steal any child.

Even Ripples was curious, after all the families who lost their children lived near ordinary people's homes and also had children, but none of those children were missing.

And the lost children ranged from three to seven years old, both boys and girls. All she could deduce was that these young males and females were used in blood magic rituals.

If that were the case, those lost children would only be enough for a few days of cultivation for an evil cultivator. A child's blood volume is limited, and as a mortal, coupled with their young age, pills cannot be taken indiscriminately, otherwise, they could easily explode and die.

But this cult's number of child abductions isn't high, more like they are carefully selecting their targets. So what are their criteria This is something that Ripple can't figure out. In her view, the families who had their children taken don't seem to share any common traits.

"It's not that there's no common ground, these families who abandoned their children all have relatives who are monks."

Ripple murmured to himself.

"Master, in this city, every commoner has a relative who is a cultivator. Otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed to live here."

The whirlwind swished its tail and said.

"Indeed, you are right, all we can do now is wait."

Liàn Yī pulled a round of whirlwind, helplessly said.

The ripples waited for a whole month. One moonless night, when the clouds obscured the moon in the sky, the laurel trees carried the message.

"Master, there's movement at the back of Lin's Pharmacy in West Moonlit City."

Duo Duo immediately sent a voice transmission to Lian Yi.

"Come on, let's see what the other side is up to!" would also enter this time. So, he hovered at the highest point of Fantasy Beast Island early on, ensuring the other party could see him as soon as they entered.Just as Bai Feng was preparing to circ...
