Chapter 66: A Deal with Xin Ruyin and Her Master

"This disciple understands, many thanks for Master's reminder."

Hearing these words, Yan Taibai's expression changed slightly, and he did not say much more.

After all, when he handed over Yan Family Fortress to the Yanyue Sect to manage, he knew such things would happen.

Who wouldn't be tempted by a fragrant piece of fat meat?

However, wanting his "meat" is not so easy, especially since he is currently particularly lacking in cultivation resources.

But to solve this problem, he still needs to plan carefully; in short, wanting to take advantage of him is not an easy thing.

"As long as you understand, I will say no more. Remember, in the Immortal Realm, cultivation and strength are the most important. Your Spirit Root aptitude is excellent; as long as you work hard and cultivate diligently, your future achievements will surely not be below mine. As for being able to form a Nascent Soul, that depends on your own opportunities and fortune; your Spirit Root aptitude won't be of much help there."

Qiong Laoguai's expression revealed a hint of gratification, and he nodded slightly.

After speaking, he rose and left the cave dwelling after Yan Taibai bowed to him.

The matter Yan Taibai spoke of was too important; he had to personally go to Tianluo Country, Cheqi Kingdom, and Jiang Kingdom to investigate.

As for the others in the Yanyue Sect, he trusted almost none of them.

Of the few he could trust, one was the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect who was in seclusion, and Nangong Wan's strength and realm were insufficient.

The other two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yanyue Sect—one was in closed-door cultivation, and the other, "Senior Brother Wu," had continued to "roam the world" in search of opportunities after resolving the matter of Yan Family Fortress.

He was unwilling to stay in the Yanyue Sect for even a moment longer.

Because the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect was in seclusion, and the other Nascent Soul cultivator had been in seclusion ever since failing to compete for the position of Great Elder, all matters, big and small, naturally had to be handed over to him to manage.

And this Uncle-Master Wu's choice was very straightforward.

He simply left and slipped away!

Regarding this, Yan Taibai could only feel envious.

After all, if he had the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he wouldn't need to worry so much.

Relying on the "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash," he could just go up and fight.

Fearless of any matter or cultivator!

If there was anything inappropriate or unsatisfactory, he would cut it down with one sword!

But he still had to cultivate properly for now, and as for where to cultivate, it was naturally Nangong Wan's cave dwelling.

Not only was it safe, but there was also a beautiful woman for company.

But before that, he still had to settle Xin Ruyin and her master.

Up to now, the master and disciple had not left the cave dwelling.

Regarding the existence of the master and disciple, the entire Yanyue Sect was limited to Yan Taibai alone.

……

"Does fellow Daoist mean that you have offended the Ghost Spirit Sect of Tianluo Country?"

After hearing Yan Taibai's words, Xin Ruyin's Master's expression turned quite ugly.

He had originally thought he had found a relatively safe place, but now it seemed Yan Taibai was clearly even more dangerous than he was.

But if he left now, he might still face the pursuit of Huoyun Daoren of the Yin Yang Demon Sect. He had little lifespan left, and if he died, he died, but Xin Ruyin could not.

How old was Xin Ruyin? He had promised two good friends that he would take good care of Xin Ruyin, so he had to do it.

"That is correct. So, may I ask if Senior is still willing to stay in the Yanyue Sect? Senior is a formation master, so this junior wants to make a deal with Senior. If Senior can agree, this junior is willing to ask my Uncle-Master to take action and alleviate the Dragon Chant Constitution of Miss Ruyin. If nothing else, at least it will make Miss Ruyin's future Foundation Establishment no problem."

Yan Taibai nodded and stated his conditions and promises in one breath.

To Xin Ruyin's Master, Xin Ruyin was clearly more important.

And to alleviate Xin Ruyin's Dragon Chant Constitution, a Nascent Soul cultivator must inject a strand of Yin Qi every period of time to balance the Yin and Yang energies within her body.

Originally, Yan Taibai wanted to ask Uncle-Master Wu to take action, but the other party ran too fast and gave him no time to speak at all.

Therefore, he could only set his sights on the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect, his Uncle-Master.

In any case, Xin Ruyin could hold on for at least ten more years, enough time for the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect to come out of seclusion.

Sure enough, upon hearing this promise from Yan Taibai, Xin Ruyin's Master nodded and agreed without much hesitation.

After learning that Yan Taibai was the "Taibai Sword Immortal" of Yue Country, his trust in Yan Taibai increased significantly.

Yue Country and Yuanwu Country were adjacent, so news of the Yue Kingdom Cultivation World naturally spread to Yuanwu Country very quickly.

He had thus learned of the "Taibai Sword Immortal."

"Good, what do you need this old man to do?"

"Set up formations, Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils."

Yan Taibai's voice turned cold, yet he sounded awe-inspiringly righteous.

He now needed strength and cultivation, and the fastest way was to "Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils."

Whether it was completing missions or obtaining cultivation resources, he had to "Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils."

And the formations of Xin Ruyin's Master were of great help to this, so he naturally did not want to miss out.

With the help of Xin Ruyin's Master's formations, even if Huoyun Daoren of the Yin Yang Demon Sect came to pursue him personally, he would be confident in trapping him and retreating unscathed, or even taking the risk to kill him in return.

"You mean Huoyun Daoren of the Yin Yang Demon Sect?"

Hearing Yan Taibai's words, Xin Ruyin's Master immediately guessed Yan Taibai's intentions and spoke.

"Correct. I presume that Huoyun Daoren of the Yin Yang Demon Sect has already sent people everywhere to search for and hunt us down."

"We naturally cannot let such an opportunity pass. But to ensure safety and guarantee that nothing goes wrong, we need Senior's formations."

"Therefore, I ask for Senior's assistance."

Yan Taibai nodded and acknowledged it.

"No problem, leave the matter of formations to this old man. The formations I set up, even if the old monster Huoyun comes himself, he won't be able to break out for a while. If there are enough materials, I even have a certain degree of confidence in killing him within the formation."

Xin Ruyin's Master said with quite a bit of confidence.

"In that case, many thanks to Senior. If Senior needs any materials, just say the word. During this period, we will not leave the sect first; Senior can just refine the formations. As for this junior, I need to cultivate for a period of time and, at the same time, avoid the limelight. After the matter of the Ghost Spirit Sect passes, you and I will leave the sect to set up formations and Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils."

"Once the matter is accomplished, this junior will absolutely not treat you unfairly, Senior."

Yan Taibai said again.

Currently, the commotion caused by the Yan Family Fortress and the Ghost Spirit Sect was not small, and he had become the "target of public criticism," the center of the storm.

Naturally, he had to honestly stay in Nangong Wan's immortal cave to cultivate for a period of time to avoid the limelight.

At the same time, he would also refine all the Metal-attribute Intermediate Spirit Stones on his person into "Geng Metal True Qi" to increase his strength.

All his difficulties and troubles could be summarized in four words: insufficient strength.

And this trump card, "Geng Metal True Qi," was naturally the more the better.

Although any metal-attribute mineral vein would do, currently Metal-attribute Intermediate Spirit Stones still had the best effect, and the time required for refining them was also the shortest.

As for the others, they required too much time and the quantity needed was too great; he could not afford to wait.

"This old man believes you, fellow Daoist."

Xin Ruyin's Master nodded and smiled.

Clearly, he trusted Yan Taibai quite a bit.
