712: Lin Yun is punished

Dan Sect's main hall.

This place was the most prestigious and solemn location within the Dan Sect.

In front of the dark gray hall, a massive cauldron-shaped building, the size of a room, stood firmly.

Inside the hall, Lin Yun lowered his head, quietly listening to the reprimands from the Sect Leader of the Dan Sect seated above and the surrounding Elders.

“Lin Yun! Do you know what you did today?!”

“You are a Core Disciple of the Sect, reaching the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment at such a young age, and your talent in alchemy is equally top-notch. You are the person most likely to inherit the positions of Elder and even Sect Leader, who are the pillars of our Dan Sect in the future!”

“With such Aptitude, yet such a temperament! In broad daylight, in front of the Kongtong Empress, you gave a Youth Preservation Pill to another woman. Do you know that this is publicly offending that woman? Our Dan Sect was almost ruined by you?!”

As Sect Leader Wuwei Dan spoke, his immortal-like demeanor vanished, replaced by sheer anger.

The Elder beside him also chimed in, pointing a finger: “Lin Yun, what you did today is truly a great taboo!”

“When your Revered Master returns, we must have a good talk!”

“Talk about what? What is there to talk about?” Sect Leader Wuwei Dan suddenly stood up: “Lin Yun, today you caused our Dan Sect to offend the Empress, your crime is severe and you must be punished!”

“I command you to go to the Fenggang Mountain Range and repent for three years!”

“Repent in the Fenggang Mountain Range for three years?” Hearing this punishment, Lin Yun slightly furrowed his brow.

This punishment was not small for a Cultivator.

In the Fenggang Mountain Range, sharp wind gusts blew day and night, and there was nowhere to hide from these wind gusts.

Those within it could only endure it.

It was normally a place where many Disciples of the Sect cultivated related spiritual techniques, but no one would willingly stay for more than a month.

Looking at the Sect Leader with piercing eyes above, Lin Yun remained silent for a moment, then raised his hand and said: “Disciple accepts the punishment.”

Having lived for a hundred years, he saw many things very clearly.

At his current stage, he was only at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and he had no powerful backing.

In front of the current Sect Leader of the Dan Sect, he had no right to negotiate any terms.

If he stubbornly refused, he would just be a Clown.

He also didn't know what kind of strange object the System that brought him here was. When he reached the Fenggang Mountain Range, he would have time to thoroughly research it.

His intuition told him that this System would be his great Opportunity!

The next day.

The news about Lin Yun being punished and sent to the Fenggang Mountain Range to repent for three years instantly spread throughout the Sect, from top to bottom.

Even the secular world and some surrounding Cultivator Sects heard about it.

The main reason why it spread so widely was naturally the existence of the Kongtong Empress.

Upon learning that a Core Disciple of the Dan Sect had actually offended the Kongtong Empress.

Many people laughed at the Dan Sect.

And the many Disciples within the Dan Sect, amidst these mocking voices, also felt resentment towards Lin Yun.

“Only sending him to the Fenggang Mountain Range for three years, the Sect Leader's punishment is too light!”

“That's right, a Great Power like the Kongtong Empress is difficult to come to our Dan Sect even once in a hundred years, and now it has become like this. What should we do if that Empress has a bad impression of our Dan Sect in the future?!”

Small Grass Mountain.

The mountain peak of the Ninth Elder of the Dan Sect's inner Sect.

At this moment, the Ninth Elder was looking at the woman in front of her with a look of anger.

“I told you earlier not to have contact with this guy Lin Yun! Your talent is so poor, you're just material for a Mortal. He is destined to become a Great Power at the Golden Core and even Nascent Soul stage. There can be no result between you. That A Man's contact with you can only be him using you!”

“Now look!” The Ninth Elder walked back and forth as she spoke: “Lin Yun taking out the Youth Preservation Pill for you at that kind of occasion yesterday was him using you, you silly Child!”

“You thought Lin Yun was interested in you? If he was interested in you, why didn't he give you the Youth Preservation Pill in private? Why did he do it in broad daylight?”

“Isn't it just to attract the attention of the Kongtong Empress with this? To leave an impression? But he messed up at the time, and he deserves it!”

“But no matter if that guy messed up or whatever, you are still a sacrifice!” Saying this, the woman tapped Jiang Yurou's forehead, which was red-rimmed: “You don't know how many people in the Sect are saying that it was because you accepted the Youth Preservation Pill that the Kongtong Empress got angry.”

“If it weren't for your Revered Master suppressing them, those guys would have already made a move against you!”

“Senior Brother Lin Yun cannot be that kind of person, Revered Master, you are thinking too badly of him.” Jiang Yurou's tone was stubborn, and she rarely talked back to the beautiful woman in front of her.

“Not that kind of person?! Your Revered Master has lived for three hundred years! I've seen countless men, and besides the truly foolish ones, the rest are all scumbags who play with emotions! Lin Yun is, and that kid's Revered Master is even more so!”

When the woman said this, her tone became heavier, as if remembering some unpleasant experience.

Her mouth was full of curses.

“Revered Master, I want some Wind Manifestation Pills.” Jiang Yurou suddenly said softly at this moment.

“Wind Manifestation Pill? What do you want this pill for?”

“To eat.”

“No, I warn you, don't think about things that don't exist.” The woman with a charming aura tapped Jiang Yurou's head again: “I see all your actions, including what you did before, I know everything clearly!”

“Ah?” Hearing this, Jiang Yurou's expression stiffened slightly. Thinking of the matter of stealing her Revered Master's old stock to make a sachet for Lin Yun, she said weakly: “Revered Master, you already knew?”

“Of course! On this mountain peak of Small Grass Mountain, there is nothing that this Revered Master doesn't know!”

“The golden silk fabric from a top-grade hundred-year-old silkworm cocoon that you put in your room, I discovered it long ago.”

As the woman finished speaking, Jiang Yurou's head was buried even lower, as if pressed into the magnificence of her front.

She had used that fabric to make a sachet for Senior Brother Lin Yun.

“It's for making clothes for Revered Master, right?” Her Revered Master's words carried a look of having already seen through everything.

“You want to give it to Revered Master as a gift on Revered Master's birthday a month later?”

“The fabric might be a bit little, only enough to make innerwear, and only in strips, which doesn't quite fit my taste.”

Saying this, the woman looked at the ‘shocked’ gaze of the Disciple in front of her, and sighed slightly, supporting her forehead: “Your Revered Master is a Golden Core powerhouse, and everything on Small Grass Mountain is nowhere to hide.”

“So, Tu'er, don't have any other thoughts. These days, just stay quietly on Small Grass Mountain and stop thinking about that guy Lin Yun and his Revered Master, who are both of the same ilk!”

Jiang Yurou nodded somewhat woodenly, but the rebellion in her heart continued to grow.
