117: The spiritual liquid is in hand, and the undercover agent in the sect

Yun Qiying looked at the Young Master and replied, "Yes, Yaowang Paste is very valuable. A single drop can sell for hundreds of thousands of spirit stones on the market, and they gave ten drops, which is a huge loss."

"Of course, if Young Master is not satisfied with this apology, I can also return it."

Lin Yuan took the jade bottle and smiled contentedly, "How could I be dissatisfied with an apology worth over a million spirit stones? This time, I truly thank Revered Master for standing up for this Disciple."

Yun Qiying nodded and said, "Thank you for your understanding, Young Master. As you know, the He Family's position in Cloud Ripple Sect is not ordinary. If I were to act forcefully, the He Family Old Ancestor would surely intervene, and the situation would be difficult to handle. Also, as for He Lu, I have already abolished his Cultivation."

Lin Yuan's expression was slightly surprised, and he said sincerely, "The He Family is powerful, Disciple understands. Revered Master doing this much for me is already benevolent and righteous."

He Lu's Cultivation was at least at the Late Stage Core Formation Realm. For Revered Master to abolish such a strong Cultivator for him was truly heartwarming.

Yun Qiying smiled, "Young Master, you're too polite. Since I promised Youning to protect you well, I naturally have to keep my word."

"Young Master' is too formal. If you don't mind, just call me Lin Yuan."

"Lin Yuan... would that be presumptuous?"

"Of course not. You are my Senior and my Revered Master, so it is proper to call me that."

"Alright, Lin Yuan, then I shall respectfully obey."

Yun Qiying nodded, then added, "By the way, I heard from Yun Wei that your relationship with the Zhao family's girl is not ordinary, right?"

"Yes, she is Disciple's good friend."

"Is that so? But I feel your relationship seems to be more than just that, no?"

"Hmm... it's a bit more intimate."

The woman put on a serious expression and said, "That girl is a direct descendant of the Zhao Family, and her father is the Zhao Family Patriarch. Their standards are not low."

Lin Yuan said earnestly, "Disciple believes that with his talent, he can definitely win them over."

"Good! As expected of my Disciple! If you ever go to the Zhao Family to propose marriage, I, your Revered Master, will definitely support you."

"Thank you, Revered Master! This Disciple will always remember your kindness!"

"Alright, Lin Yuan, you and I are Revered Master and Disciple, there's no need to be so formal."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, then Lin Yuan returned to the classroom alone.

...

That night.

In the young girl's boudoir.

"Senior Brother, when are we going to practice Array Dao?"

Zhao Cailian leaned in the man's arms, asking softly.

Lin Yuan patted her head, teasing, "You little girl, you wanted to Cultivate as soon as you came back, and now you're asking me when to practice Formations?"

"Wasn't that to improve my Cultivation?"

The young girl stuck out her tongue and continued, "Besides, Senior Brother could have refused me, right?"

"What? Are you blaming me now?"

"Of course! Senior Brother clearly wanted to Cultivate himself, so how can you blame Junior Sister entirely?"

"Oh, you little Junior Sister, daring to talk back to Senior Brother. It seems I've spoiled you too much, haven't I?"

...

A few days later.

"Senior Brother! I finally succeeded!"

Looking at the second-tier Formation in front of her, Zhao Cailian was overjoyed, so excited she almost jumped.

"Good, my hard work teaching you during this time wasn't in vain."

Lin Yuan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, relieved.

Teaching Formations was truly not an easy task. Fortunately, the other party's Comprehension Ability was not bad, otherwise, it would have taken several months.

"Chu Mi~"

The young girl gave the man a fierce kiss and stood up, saying, "I'm going to find Revered Master for a reward! Senior Brother, wait for me here; I should be back very soon."

"Alright."

Zhao Cailian rushed out the door and flew towards the peak of Yunxia Peak.

Before long, she arrived at the entrance of the Head's room.

"Revered Master, Revered Master! Are you there?"

Hearing her Disciple's voice, Chi Bixia, who was Cultivating, opened her eyes and said, "I'm here, come in."

"Creak."

Pushing open the door, Zhao Cailian eagerly said, "Revered Master, I've become a second-tier Array Daoist!"

"Oh?"

The woman's expression changed slightly, and she said in surprise, "Really?"

"Naturally, it's true!"

The young girl immediately began, taking the time it takes to drink a cup of tea to set up a second-tier Spirit Swallowing Formation.

Seeing this, Chi Bixia twitched her lips, "Although you successfully constructed the Formation, it took too long, didn't it?"

"This is just starting out! It'll be faster once I'm proficient."

"Then come back for your reward after you're proficient."

"Eh? Revered Master, you're cheating! Didn't you say you'd give me a reward as soon as I became a second-tier Array Daoist?"

"With your slow speed in setting up Formations, you can't really be considered a true second-tier Array Daoist, can you?"

"I don't care! I set it up, so you have to keep your promise!"

Saying this, she stepped forward, hugged the woman's arm, and swayed it, whining, "Good Revered Master, please give Lianer the reward~"

Chi Bixia couldn't stand her coaxing any longer and smiled helplessly, "Alright, alright, you clingy little girl, I can't do anything with you."

With that, she took out a jade bottle containing golden liquid from her embrace and handed it to the other party, "This is the Radiant Cloud Spirit Liquid I refined. You can't digest too much at once, so remember to take it in two doses."

Finally seeing what she desired, Zhao Cailian's face lit up with joy, and she snatched it, "Thank you, Revered Master, for the reward!"

Bowing to the woman, she turned to leave, eager to share this item with her lover.

Chi Bixia interrupted, "Wait."

"Hmm? Does Revered Master have something else?"

"You must not give this spirit liquid to outsiders, understand?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because this item is precious, and I, your Revered Master, prepared it specifically for you. Naturally, I don't want you to share it with others."

"I see, Disciple understands."

"Good, go."

After Zhao Cailian left, a woman in a black dress emerged from the side door, bowed, and said, "Disciple greets Revered Master."

"Laner, why do you have time to visit your Revered Master today?"

"There's something I wanted to tell Revered Master."

"What is it?"

"The Sword Comprehension Ceremony of Hidden Sword Manor is coming soon, and Disciple has already chosen a companion."

"Oh? Who have you set your sights on?"

"The Sect Master's Disciple, Lin Yuan."

Hearing this, Chi Bixia recalled the scene of 'snatching' someone that day, and a glint flashed in her eyes, "You chose him as a companion; do you intend to subdue him as a Sword Slave?"

Mo Konglan honestly said, "Rather than being a Sword Slave, I hope he can join the Divine Cult."

Chi Bixia nodded, "To achieve Four Tiger Strength at the Opening Meridian Realm, such a Genius should indeed join our Divine Cult. But if he doesn't know what's good for him, you must not hold back, understand?"

"Don't worry, Revered Master, I am not a soft-hearted person. I will not allow such a Prodigy to grow comfortably."

Mo Konglan spoke obediently and continued, "By the way, Revered Master, regarding the yunlan crystal, how are the Seniors in the Cult planning it?"

Mentioning this, Chi Bixia's face showed worry, "The old fellows of Cloud Ripple Sect have hidden the item too deeply. Currently, I still can't confirm its exact location, so I can't act yet."

"Alright."

Mo Konglan was a little disappointed.

Chi Bixia comforted her, "Once we complete the mission, we will return to the Divine Cult immediately. For now, you'll have to endure this inconvenience."

Mo Konglan forced a smile, "Disciple is not inconvenienced; it should be Revered Master who is inconvenienced."

"After so many years, I've long grown accustomed to it. It's getting late, you should go back and rest too."

"Yes, Revered Master."]}
