So Qin Lingyun took Mu Rong Hen Hais advice, if there was a suitable sect, she didnt mind temporarily joining it. Apart from temporarily getting shelter, the more important reason was for her skills. Mu Rong Hen Hais cultivation method wasnt suitable for her, she needed water-based skills, not Mu Rong Hen Hais wood-based skills.

  Waiting for nightfall, Qin Lingyun left Lai Fu Inn. Even at night, she had to find a secluded place with no one around. Since it wasnt far from the outer city, Qin Lingyun ran her spiritual power through her feet and took off like a gust of clear wind. Ordinary peoples eyes would flutter, and they couldnt see her clearly.

  About an hour later, Qin Lingyun arrived at a secluded small forest in the outer city.

  Qin Lingyun walked satisfactorily to the edge of the forest: "Its very quiet here, and its also very secluded, so I can practice flying now."

  After Qin Lingyun left the inn, she didnt plan to go back. She felt that being in the mortal world was too inconvenient, and to cultivate Taoist magic, she had to find a place with abundant spiritual energy and quiet surroundings. Moreover, she wanted to sell some elixirs to exchange for more spells, talismans, or magical artifacts, all of which required finding a market where cultivators traded with each other.

  "I recall that near Nujiang there was a small market, seemingly a place where some low-ranking loose cultivators often went, and Murong Henghai had come here once in his memory."

  Then, Qin Lingyun decided to follow Murong Chenhais memory and fly over, taking a look at the market town along the way. After all, the market town in Murong Chenhais memory was from a hundred years ago, and how it is now is unknown.

  "Lets go to the market and see if we can exchange some useful items, then head to Jiaohu Mountain later." Qin Lingyun was preparing to find a secluded spot on Jiaohu Mountain for closed-door cultivation. She had many things she needed to do now, but there wasnt a safe and quiet place, so she couldnt put her mind at ease.

  Qin Lingyun pinched her fingers, muttered to herself, and immediately the spiritual energy flowed through her body. A faint pale blue glow quickly spread out around her, and she felt her body become light and floaty, slowly leaving the ground and hovering in mid-air.

  "The flying spell is indeed effective."

  Qin Lingyun had floated to the top of the forest, and as she looked out, the entire canopy of the forest merged into a dark green ocean. Under the bright moonlight, the gentle breeze blew by, causing the trees to rustle and sway, just like the flowing water.

  Qin Lingyun was just about to take out the Qingling Sword from her storage bag when she suddenly heard faint footsteps coming from the other end of the distant forest.

  "Someones coming, lets observe for a while." Qin Lingyun thought it was just a passerby, so she descended into the forest and found a hidden place to hide.

  "Master, is it tonight that you will pass on the immortal technique to your disciple?" A clear and bright male voice rang out, with a hint of surprise.

  "Yesterday night, I observed the celestial phenomena and found that the Purple Star has moved southward. The energy is clashing between the Dipper and the Bull. After calculating with my fingers, I have determined that today you are destined to have this immortal fate. I shall grant you the Heavenly Passage Technique. Are you willing?" This was an old but vigorous voice, with a tone that was both ethereal and uncertain, leaving behind a hint of temptation.

  "The disciple is willing." The mans voice was trembling with excitement.

  Qin Lingyun almost laughed out loud, hearing the conversation between the two people, she knew that one of them was definitely one of those swindlers, while the other young man was deceived and didnt even realize it.

  Two people gradually approached Qin Lingyun, getting closer and closer until Qin Lingyun could see the old mans face clearly in the moonlight.

  Wearing a orange-yellow Taoist robe, holding a feather duster in his hand, with one hand raised upright, his face flushed with red light, white eyebrows, and a long white beard hanging down to his chest, he indeed has an air of immortality.

  As he spoke, the man with his back to Qin Lingyun turned sideways, revealing a slender figure in a white robe, and a pair of bright eyes sparkling with surprise on a face as smooth as jade.

  "It was him." Unexpectedly, this man turned out to be the elegant young master who rode on horseback in the daytime.

  "What a talented young master, yet hes still being deceived by a swindler from the streets." Qin Lingyun secretly smiled to herself.

  "Close your eyes, its time for the master to cast a spell." The old man waved his hand with the duster, his face stern and serious, as if he was really doing something.

  And this young nobleman seemed to have a fanatical belief in and reverence for the old man, he immediately closed his eyes, not saying a word.

  "Lets see how youll play next." A faint dimple appeared on Qin Lingyuns face, and a shallow smile bloomed.

  The old man muttered to himself, his feet tapping out a rhythm, his fingers flying through intricate gestures. With a flick of his wrist, eight small black flags appeared in front of him, floating in mid-air. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto the flags. The air around them began to churn and boil, and with a burst of speed, they shot off in different directions, embedding themselves in the ground at eight points, encircling the handsome young man within their perimeter.

  Feeling the fluctuation of spiritual energy, Qin Lingyuns expression changed: "It turns out that he is indeed a cultivator, what does he want to do? Why use an array to surround a mortal?"

  Qin Lingyun felt that she had stumbled upon a secret, sensing the old mans sudden release of spiritual energy, his cultivation was at least at the tenth layer of Qi Refining, far surpassing hers.

  "I hope the old man doesnt find out Im here, or hell definitely kill me to silence me."

  Eight black small flags with black air like a strip of black snakes in between them, after a while, they connected into a piece, forming a mysterious array of black lines, and that young master was right in the middle of the array, he closed his eyes, without feeling anything that happened.

  "This evil and unusual formation suggests that this person is likely a demonic cultivator, and one who has killed many ordinary people at that. Theres a thick aura of killing intent around him."

  Qin Lingyun hadnt noticed the old mans abnormality earlier, but once he cast his spell, he no longer concealed his aura. The fluctuations of his spiritual power spread out, accompanied by a thick bloody aura. Not only did Qin Lingyun feel it, but even Jia Gongzi seemed to sense that something was off, although he didnt understand the source of that inexplicable unease. Adding to his exceptional trust in the old man, he remained standing calmly.

  The old man cautiously looked around, released his divine sense to envelop all directions, and this time he spent more than a month of effort, just for today, so there can be no mistakes. Worried that during the spellcasting, he would be disturbed, he had to investigate all abnormal situations around him.

  Qin Lingyun felt the old mans powerful divine sense, and she secretly lamented in her heart because the place where she was hiding happened to be within the scope of the old mans divine sense coverage, and she had no way to conceal her own aura, making it highly likely that she would be discovered.

  The old mans divine consciousness swept to this place, and he slightly paused, then swept his gaze elsewhere. Qin Lingyuns heart chilled, knowing she had been discovered. The reason the old man didnt immediately take action was that he wanted Qin Lingyun to become complacent, so he could strike with one blow.

  "Youre too cunning, if someone else said that, they might have been deceived, and by the time they realized it, it would be too late, but dont think you can deceive me."

  Qin Lingyun thought of this, and without hesitation, her fingers formed a seal, and a faint pale blue glow appeared on her body. This was the evasive light that appeared when flying, which could protect her physical body from injury during high-speed movement, and also increase her speed.

  As soon as the light dissipated, her body immediately floated up, and then Qin Lingyun raised her hand, and the Qingling Sword floated in front of her. A flash of spiritual light appeared, and it rapidly grew to a length of over three feet, with a broad sword body that shone with a hazy blue light.

  Qin Lingyun immediately leaped into the air, her fingers forming a seal, and as soon as she landed, she transformed into a blue light that shot towards the sky.

  At this time, the old man was preparing to pretend to cast a spell, unintentionally approaching Qin Lingyuns side, and capturing the person hiding in this place all at once. However, he did not expect that between the flash of lightning, the person drove away with a swift escape light, turned around and escaped.

  The old man let out a loud roar, his large sleeves fluttering as six dark and ominous skull heads surrounded his body, the dark energy enveloping him transformed into a black arrow shooting towards the direction Qin Lingyun was escaping.

  He is a ruthless and poisonous person with many enemies. Now that his plot has been exposed, he is naturally furious. In his eyes, this little cultivator of the fourth layer of Qi Refining may be very cunning, but once he encounters him, he is already doomed to die.

  Qin Lingyun didnt have time to care about herself, let alone practice the "Driving Light Treasure" flying technique. The thought of escaping prompted her to react quickly, and after swaying left and right in mid-air for a few times, Qin Lingyun steadied herself and sped off into the distance. As for that elegant young master, Qin Lingyun didnt have time to care about his life or death.

  Originally, this time she was just an innocent victim, wanting to practice flying with her sword in a secluded small forest outside the city, but didnt expect to encounter such a thing.

  Qin Lingyun was flying, when suddenly her expression changed, she felt a black light closely following behind her, it was the old man who had caught up, and his speed was much faster than Qin Lingyuns. With more skilled flight, it was estimated that he would be overtaken in no time.

  Qin Lingyun bit her lip and turned around, sprinting in another direction. If she wanted to survive, she could only rely on the power from that place.

  The old mans dark energy drew closer and closer, a distant voice came: "Little girl who has cultivated her Qi to the fourth layer, where do you think you can escape to? Stop obediently, maybe if Im in a good mood, Ill spare your life."

  Qin Lingyun ignored the sound, a sword light drew a blue glow in the air, quickly stopping above the tomb of King Xing. Before the old mans black light could catch up, she flew towards the tomb of King Xing below.

  There are zombies in the tomb of Xin Wang, three green-haired zombies that cannot be harmed by swords or guns, with incredible strength. Qin Lingyun has a blood-sucking lion beast that can restrain the green-haired zombies, so she is not afraid at all.

  The Blood Lion Beast can easily drain the corpse energy from the Green Hair Zombie, while the Green Hair Zombie has no ability to fight back when encountering a natural enemy. It is so when facing the Blood Lion Beast, but it may not be the case when facing other cultivators.

  Qin Lingyun slapped the spiritual beast bag, and the bloodthirsty lion beast rushed out with a whistle. The light purple wings spread open and landed on the stone steps with a swoosh. Then, Qin Lingyun opened the seal on the stone tablet with both hands, and after the ban was lifted, she crawled into the hole and re-sealed the ban above.

  Just as the seal was lifted, a dark aura descended rapidly, and the old man appeared on the stone steps with a gloomy face. A glint of cold light flashed in his eyes, and he sneered: "So youre relying on this seal? This trivial seal can stop me?"
