"No. If you don't believe what I say, it's simple. Just buy a pamortal Spirit Powder and try it. As everyone knows, it's a medie that restrains demons. If a demon takes it, their demoniergy will dissipate for a short time, no matter how well they hide, they'll reveal themselves!"

  Cui Qing'er spoke with such vi that it didn't seem like she was lying.

  Besides, she had no reason to deceive him.

  Lin Hao's expression was inscrutable. His Senior Sister was his guide in the immortal path, and they had a deep uanding of each other. He actually trusted her a lot.

  But on sed thought, he felt there was no harm in trying. If his Senior Sister wasn't a demon, the powder wouldn't harm her body.

  So, Lin Hao bid farewell to Cui Qing'er and po visit the market to buy a pamortal Spirit Powder, and also pick up some materials for making talismans.

  The uping oppos were getting stronger, so he o stock up on sed-grade talismans for emergencies.

  At the market, he quickly bought all the talisman materials, but there was no ce for a bargain, costing him nearly two hundred spirit stones, which pained him greatly.

  The Immortal Spirit Powder wasn't expensive, but sihe Xuan Yi hadn't been at war with the Demon Path i years, no shops had it in stock, so Lin Hao had to try his luck at street stalls.

  Thunder rumbled.

  Lin Hao, dressed in blue, carried a sword on his back, holding a spirit stone in his hand. The strong wind brushed against his chiseled face, and his clear, star-like eyes sed the surrounding stalls.

  It was quite lively.

  Sigh...

  Lin Hao sighed softly, his lips curving down slightly. Was the Immortal Spirit Powder really so hard to find?

  But it was uandable. The Demon Path had been dormant for many years, not g with the righteous path, so items like the Immortal Spirit Powder, used against demons, were rare.

  After wandering for most of the day, he finally saw the Immortal Spirit Powder at a small stall.

  He felt like a drowning man grabbing a lifeline and hurried over.

  Uher stall owners, this one was a young girl, looking no more than fifteen or sixteen, with a delicate and charming appearance, and bright, eyes.

  Her cultivation was only at the sixth level, likely a junior disciple who had just ehe sect. Lin Hao smiled and got straight to the point, "How many spirit stones for this pamortal Spirit Powder?"

  The girl's eyes fshed with a murderous i as she said with rese, "No spirit stones needed."

  No spirit stones?

  Lin Hao frowned slightly, curious, "Why don't you want spirit stones?"

  The girl bit her cherry lips, the murderous i in her eyes almost overflowing.

  "Eliminating demons and defending the path is what we cultivators should do! Fellow cultivator, please accept this pamortal Spirit Powder."

  Lin Hao saw siy in the girl's eyes. He accepted the Immortal Spirit Powder and then took out a talisman from his ste bag.

  "Miss, you're right. Eliminating demons is what we cultivators should do, so please accept this talisman."

  The girl didn't refuse, accepting the talisman with posure, and cupped her hands in a salute, "May I ask for your name, fellow cultivator?"

  "Lin Hao."

  "Xiang Xiaoyuan, wishing Senior Brother Lin success in sying demons!"

  Watg Lin Hao leave, Xiang Xiaoyuan finally examihe talisman in her hand, a look of surprise appearing on her pretty face.

  "A sed-grade talisman..."

  "This Senior Brother..."

  Seeing it was getting te, Lin Hao hurried to his Senior Sister's cave dwelling.

  On the the mountain, he entered someone, Leng Feng, who was also a strong tender for the top spot in the petition.

  Leng Feng, dressed in white, with a high ponytail, looked heroic, carrying a sword case on her back, from which the sound of a sword could faintly be heard.

  "You're quite good."

  As they passed each other, Lin Hao heard her say.

  g!

  As the words fell, the sword was drawn, sounding like a dragon's roar or a tiger's roar.

  The exotic flowers and pnts on both sides of the mountain path seemed to bow as if blown by a strong wind.

  "I hope to face you in the arena."

  Leng Feng stepped on her flying sword, s through the air.

  Clearly, she was already an inner disciple.

  Lin Hao's eyes were clear as he watched the figure in white disappear into the distance, his fists unsciously g.

  Looking up again.

  The mountain path, like a dder to the heavens, seemed endless.

  He walked up step by step.

  In front of his Senior Sister's cave dwelling, he took a deep breath and then pushed the door open.

  "Back so te?" Li Qiushui said with a radiant smile.

  "Met a friend, had a deep versation."

  "Alright." The womaended her slender jade finger and tapped his forehead.

  "ime you're te, send me a message."

  A faint fragrance filled the air.

  Lin Hao's lips twitched slightly as he saw his Senior Sister turn into the ba, seemingly busy with cooking.

  He took out the pamortal Spirit Powder, poured it into a blue por teapot, shook it, and then poured a cup of tea, bringing it to his Senior Sister.

  "Senior Sister, what are you busy with?" Lin Hao asked, ing his arms around the woman's waist from behind.

  "Cooking some spirit beast meat for you to replenish your energy."

  "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister," Lin Hao said, then handed her the teacup, "Please have some tea, Senior Sister."

  "Heh, what's gotten into you, serviea?"

  Lin Hao smiled and said, "Senior Sister works hard for me every day, it's just a cup of tea, nothing major."

  "You sweet talker."

  Li Qiushui picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and a faint smile appeared on her beautiful face.

  "Junior Brother, why does this tea taste strange? You didn't drug me, did you?"

  "How could that be?" Lin Hao said calmly, carefully his Senior Sister's ges.

  Her demeanor remained unged.

  Indeed, his Senior Sister was not a demon.

  He felt relieved, but also guilty for not trusting her.

  To make up for his guilt, he po assist his Senior Sister in her cultivation, but before he could act, a slender jade hand stopped him.

  "Junior Brother, don't rush. Do you remember I mentioned a surprise for you during the day?"

  Uh... Lin Hao scratched his head, he had actually fotten about it.

  "Senior Sister, what's the surprise?"

  Li Qiushui evaded his advances, fluttering to the side like a butterfly.

  "This surprise, you'll definitely like."

  With that, she cpped her delicate hands, and three women in sheer veils walked in, their stunning faces showing expressions of shyness or anticipation.

  "Senior Sister, what is this?" Lin Hao asked through voice transmission.

  "Junior Brother, these three women are carefully selected by me for you. They are all untouched and have det cultivation, all at the seventh level of Qi Refining!"

  Lin Hao was stunned, his star-like eyes filled with astonishment.

  Was his Senior Sister helping him find women?!

  His expression was extremely peculiar. He had thought his Senior Sister wouldn't like seeing him with other women, but uedly, she was helping him find them.

  "Junior Brother, I've also prepared a Foundatioablishment Pill for you to help you establish your foundation and pete for the top spot."

  Foundatioablishment Pill?!

  Lin Hao didn't know what to say. That was a Foundatioablishment Pill, a strategic resource for cultivators at the Qi Refining stage. Unless rewarded by the sect, preparing one on your own would take a year or two of hard work.

  Lin Hao's breakthrough speed was too fast, so he hadn't had time to prepare, and had been w about how to get a Foundatioablishment Pill. And now... his Senior Sister gave it to him!

  It was like receiving a pillow when you were sleepy.

  Thinking of how he had suspected his Senior Sister of being a demon, his guilt was overwhelming.

  He picked up his Senior Sister and gave her a fierce kiss.

  Li Qiushui said coquettishly, "Focus on your breakthrough."

  With his Senior Sister's urging, Lin Hao could only express his gratitude.
