Given the degree to which her father's soul was fragmented, it would take an extremely long time to collect all of it. It was impossible for her spirit to be away from her body for so long... She had to find a way to stabilize both her body and her soul.
Mu Lin began to look for elixirs in this regard. Compared to the incredibly complicated soul-gathering technique, this was much simpler. After a while, she found relevant records.
The Nine-Aperture Divine Ganoderma enshrined on the Penglai Fairy Island can be regarded as an extremely spiritual object that can nourish the body and stabilize the soul. Taking it can greatly enhance the power of the soul and allow the immortal's soul to leave the body for several years without any worries.
This kind of treasure seemed to be tailor-made for her, and Mu Lin even felt it was a bit of a coincidence.
Along the way, it seems that there is some force secretly pushing her to seek revenge, and it is hard to tell whether it is an enemy or a friend...
Having already gotten the information she wanted, this room full of beautiful women and riches could no longer arouse her interest.
Mu Lin put the books back in their places, checked if any books were messed up during the search, put them in order one by one, and then left the study.
Mu Lin walked towards the side hall. There should be treasures in this huge temple. She was short of money now and her purpose of coming here was to make money, so she looked around other palaces.
There's really nothing valuable.
The gems and jade inlaid on the relief were valuable, but unfortunately she couldn't take them down and take them away; the water-gold jade at the center of the astronomical magic array was valuable, but she couldn't destroy the array either.
After all, this is the tomb of the gods, so it is better not to touch the existing furnishings. Respect is one thing, but if something unexpected happens, she may have to stay here forever.
Mu Lin left the temple with a little regret. Looking at the vast white world, he was worried about how to leave. Suddenly, he found that he could fly, so he flew up without hesitation.
Soaring straight up, from shallow to deep, actually crossed the Jiufang Cliff Abyss?! Mu Lin flew for a long time before reaching the ground. The Yao Ning Sword and the Divine Whip were still in their original places. Mu Lin waved his hand and took them back.
Everything here is weird and makes her feel uneasy, so she decided to leave early.
Mu Lin came out of the secret realm, randomly found a teahouse, ordered a pot of tea and sat down, listening to the little demons at the tables around him discussing the latest news. They were so excited and enthusiastic.
"Who did the Dream Demon Lu family and the Raven Yuan family offend? Not only did the two families suffer heavy losses, but Mr. Lu is also dead. It's been two or three years and we're still looking for the murderer..."
It's been so long... Mu Lin was silent. It has been eight or nine years since she came out of Yingzhou, and she had lost contact with her master during the time in the Demon Realm.
Given Master’s indifferent personality, he probably wouldn’t care, right
"Who knows? I think the Yuan family is better off. The Lu family is struggling in Feicheng without a leader. I'm afraid the seven major families will become six soon!"
"Yes, the fiancé of my grandfather's cousin's third daughter's nephew's sister-in-law works for the Baihu Ning family. He secretly revealed that several large families are preparing to divide up the Lu family. I heard that Bi Cang Pavilion is involved..."
The relationships among the seven major families are complicated. When one of them has a problem, the others will certainly not stand idly by. However, they come forward not to help, but more like sharks that smell blood, pouncing forward to share the food.
No one expected that the person who had quietly caused such a big incident two years ago had returned to Feicheng. Anyway, no one except the sisters knew that it was her who did it. Mu Lin came back specifically to join in the fun. The Lu family was wealthy, so there might be some unexpected gains.
This time Mu Lin was in disguise, with her hair tied up to cover her throat, her chest bound to make her waist wide, and a pile of pads in her boots to make her look taller. She wore a gorgeous dress and fanned herself with a scented fan, looking like a gentleman in a corrupt society, elegant and noble. A spy in the military camp had taught Mu Lin how to disguise herself, and she followed the words and deeds of the Immortal Lord Luochen, and she was very ostentatious. Except for too many female demons who flirted with her, she didn't cause any trouble along the way.
Feicheng, the magic city, has changed from its former prosperity and bustle, and instead has a tense atmosphere.
Mu Lin first went to Bi Cang Pavilion to visit Si Yuan.
Si Yuan was curious when she heard the servants report that a young man named Lin was waiting for her in the reception room. She had a busy schedule and met countless guests, but she had not made an appointment to meet a young man named Lin.
Could it be her suitor
Si Yuan didn't need to pay attention to it, but after thinking about it, she went anyway.
When she went downstairs and saw Mu Lin in disguise, she didn't react for a moment, but felt that this person looked vaguely familiar.
"you are?"
Mu Lin smiled at her and said, "Miss Si Yuan, long time no see. One night a few years ago, you came to the alley to look for your younger sister and told me a secret."
Si Yuan finally remembered something, and looked at Mu Lin's face, which changed slightly: "You are... Sorry, please follow me."
It was obvious that she recognized Mu Lin's identity, but there were too many people here, so they needed a private space to talk.
Mu Lin had the same intention. It was obvious that she didn't come to see Si Yuan to reminisce about the past.
Si Yuan has a fairly large room on the top floor, which to some extent reflects her status in Bi Cang Pavilion.
"What do you want to see me about?" Si Yuan went straight to the point.
Both of them have the other's handle in their hands, and to some extent, they are in a coexistence relationship. Non-aggression, mutual benefit, or... mutual destruction.
Mu Lin didn't shy away: "Seek cooperation."
"Appreciate further details."
Si Yuan is essentially a businessman, and wealth and honor are achieved through risk. In her eyes, Miss Lin is very dangerous, and the value she represents is equally high.
"I know that Bi Cang Pavilion wants to take a bite of the Lu family, but it has been preparing for a long time just to get the upper hand. But can this really satisfy their appetite?"
Si Yuan smiled: "You actually know some inside information. You should also know that it's not just our faction that covets the Lu family. It's worth it if we can get a little profit."
In other words, other families have also made moves, and their strengths are not much different. It is not so easy for Bi Cang Pavilion to eat alone. They do not intend to eat alone, and offending other forces is not worth the loss. After all, the auction house is an industry that requires connections, and being boycotted by other forces is no joke.
Mu Lin looked at her and smiled: "So I want you to sell me a piece of information, seize the initiative, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results..."
That night, the old house of the Nightmare Demon Lu caught fire. Eerie dark green flames shot up into the sky, devouring the Lu family's thousand-year-old foundation.
Mr. Lu's third son, Lu Qian, who had just defeated his two elder brothers to take charge of the Lu family, vomited blood and fell unconscious upon hearing the news. Everyone in the Lu family was waiting for him to take command of the situation, but who would have thought that the backbone suddenly fell down, and everyone was in a panic, adding to the chaos of the current situation in the Lu family!
Flower Magic Home Storage Cabinet
Si Yuan looked at the treasures on the ground in amazement, many of which were priceless, including the pair of white dragon horns that had been auctioned off before. Si Yuan presided over the auction, so he naturally knew that the item was bought by the Lu family.
"Ms. Lin, you are so disrespectful that you can take over the Lu family's treasure house by yourself..."
"Thanks to the information provided by Miss Siyuan, otherwise I would not be able to find the Lu family's treasure so easily."
"As it should be."
"According to the original agreement, I'll take eight and you'll take two."
Just by selling a piece of information, she could get 20% of Lu's treasure, which was definitely not a loss for Si Yuan. If Mu Lin went a little further and gave Si Yuan two top-grade treasures, it would also be worth the information, and she couldn't say anything.
After all, this is something they got through their own strength.
Mu Lin handed Si Yuan a long list: "I will pick out a few treasures, and you can help me deal with the remaining things from my share and convert them into spiritual jade and the alchemy materials on the list."
Most of the things used by demons were not suitable for her. If she carried them with her and was seen by someone with ulterior motives one day, it would be troublesome even for her in the fairy world. It was convenient to deal with these things, which was one of the reasons why she chose to cooperate with Si Yuan.
"Okay." Si Yuan agreed immediately.
For the troublesome things that Miss Lin has in her hands, Bi Cang Pavilion or Si Family have various channels to digest them. It is a business that is sure to make a profit, and Si Yuan is confident that she can maximize the profits.
After this incident, the Lu family lost most of its profits. The Bi Cang Pavilion continued to intervene for the Lu family's control scope and business channels. Si Yuan still had a lot of things to worry about. Mu Lin picked the white dragon horn and several other treasures and left first.
Three days later, Si Yuan handed the exchanged items to Mu Lin and asked her about her future plans. Mu Lin told her frankly: "I am going back to the fairyland, Miss Si Yuan. See you again if we are destined to."
Si Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Lin, I can probably guess who you are... Si Yuan has an unreasonable request." As she spoke, the beauty bowed gracefully, her beautiful face full of sincerity.
"But it's okay."
Si Yuan handed her a letter, the envelope was blank, "Please ask Jiu Cang Xianjun to deliver this letter to Lu Mengze."
Lu Mengze
"… "
Mu Lin's mood could no longer be described as simple surprise. Although she didn't often go to the Ninth Heaven, she knew that Lu Mengze was a wonder of the Ninth Heaven, and the residence of Lianyou Immortal Lord was located there!
Could it be that Si Yuan is the illegitimate daughter of Immortal Lord Lianyou
Mu Lin couldn't help but look at her again, looking for similarities in their appearance and expressions.
Si Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "You misunderstood. Lianyou Immortal Lord is acquainted with my mother. It's not easy for you to find my mother. Give the letter to her and she will help me pass it on."
"I see... I'll help you."
Si Yuan thanked her, and seeing Mu Lin's hesitant expression, she actually guessed what she was thinking: "I am living very well here, and I have no intention of changing the status quo. This letter is just to let my mother know that I am safe, so that she can live her life without worry. You don't need to persuade me."
Staying in the Demon Realm was Si Yuan's own choice. Even if there were some unhappy things at home, she could control them and deal with them. Living in a place where good and bad people mixed together could not only realize her own value, but also be good for the other party.
What's more, Si Yuan also has his own ambitions.
Having said this, Mu Lin naturally did not intend to mention it again. She looked at Si Yuan with a warm and kind look: "Si Yuan, I wish you all the best."
Si Yuan is a perceptive person. She understands all the interests involved, the considerations and compromises of her parents and family, and has made the choice that best suits her own interests. But can this really bring her relief? I'm afraid not.
The more you see, the deeper the pain.
So she said nothing, but continued forward in the direction she should go.
