At night, in a mountain hollow.
A crisp crackling sound occasionally came from the bonfire.
Fang Ling sat cross-legged by the fire, Cultivating, the firelight reflecting on his face, making his cheeks slightly red.
Beneath him, layers of Spirit Stones were laid out, which he had obtained from the Qin Family.
Before long, this pile of Spirit Stones had already turned into powder.
He suddenly opened his eyes and nodded with satisfaction.
"No wonder my Masters told me to go down the mountain, there are indeed many good things down here…"
"If I had these Spirit Stones from a young age, my cultivation would definitely be more than this."
He murmured to himself, marveling at the effect of the Spirit Stones.
"It's a pity there are so few, I'll have to get more later."
At this moment, he turned his head to look east, sensing someone approaching.
He waved his hand, scattering the powder on the ground.
Before long, two figures gradually became clear.
The arrivals consisted of one large and one small, the older one appearing to be around thirty years old.
Her figure was voluptuous, with unparalleled charm.
Her hair was styled in a high bun, exuding the aura of a mature woman.
She was also holding a little girl's hand, who had two buns on her head and looked extremely cute.
"Aunt Qing, this big brother is so handsome!"
The little girl looked at Fang Ling, who was sitting by the fire, and said with a giggle.
The woman she called Aunt Qing glanced at Fang Ling, then led the little girl directly over.
"It's late, and my little girl is frail. May we borrow your fire for the night?" she asked Fang Ling.
Fang Ling nodded, and moved aside on his own, making room for the two of them.
"This woman's cultivation is quite good…" Fang Ling thought to himself.
In Liu City, the strongest person he had sensed was Qin Hui, the Qin Family's patriarch.
But Qin Hui was completely insignificant compared to this beautiful woman in front of him.
Qin Hui was only at the Tian Shu Realm Great Perfection, while this woman in front of him was at the Tianji Realm Middle Stage!
One was in the first realm of the martial Dao, and the other was in the third realm of the martial Dao.
"Big brother, do you want some cake?"
"I have delicious cake here, it's so fragrant and crispy!"
This little girl was very lively, she pulled out half a cake from somewhere and handed it to Fang Ling.
Fang Ling smiled slightly, taking the half-cake from her small hand: "Thank you."
The beautiful woman called Aunt Qing watched silently, not saying much.
In her eyes, Fang Ling was just a young Master from a somewhat prominent family, not worth her attention.
"Big brother, why are you here alone?"
The little girl leaned closer to Fang Ling, her eyes wide with curiosity as she asked again.
"I'm going into the mountain to find something." Fang Ling replied.
The little girl pouted, shaking her head repeatedly: "No! Don't go into the mountain!"
"Aunt Qing said this mountain is very dangerous, there are man-eating demons inside!"
"Since it's so dangerous here, why are you two going into the mountain?" Fang Ling asked with a smile.
The little girl couldn't keep her mouth shut, and blurted out: "We're also going into the mountain to find something! But my Aunt Qing is very powerful!"
"With her by my side, no one can harm me!"
"Then what treasure are you going into the mountain to find?" Fang Ling asked again.
The little girl was about to answer, but then heard a cold snort from the beautiful woman beside her.
The little girl immediately shut up, obediently returned to her side, and lay on her beautiful leg.
The beautiful woman looked at Fang Ling and said indifferently: "Young man, don't be so curious."
"This Tianduan Mountain is not a place you should come to."
"If you don't want to die, go home quickly!"
Fang Ling merely smiled and did not respond to her.
Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from not far away.
"Yun Shuiqing, long time no see, you are still as beautiful and charming as ever!"
"Truly the number one beauty of our Tianluo Sect!"
A tall, bald man walked over.
This burly man exuded a Demonic Qi, as there was a gray long snake coiled around his waist.
"Is this little girl your daughter? But she doesn't look much like you." He looked at the two and shook his head with a tsk.
Yun Shuiqing glanced at the bald man and said indifferently: "If you can't speak properly, it's best to shut your mouth!"
"So many years have passed, and you're still so opinionated." The burly man laughed, making himself at home as he sat down.
Then he glanced at Fang Ling, who was beside him, his brows slightly furrowed: "Who is this kid?"
"I don't know, he started this fire." Yun Shuiqing said indifferently.
"What a fair-skinned and tender handsome young man, perfect for feeding to the snake!"
The bald man sneered, reaching out to stroke the gray snake coiled around his waist.
"My darling, why do you have no appetite today?"
"Hurry up and eat! That's your favorite food!"
The gray snake coiled around his waist, however, was now completely tense.
Although Fang Ling had long refined the demon ancestor's heart into a part of himself.
But the demon ancestor was a taboo existence among demons.
Just a few remaining wisps of Qi were enough to make ordinary demons tremble with fear.
"My darling, what's wrong with you?"
The bald man patiently comforted it, but in an instant, it flew away with a whoosh!
"My good darling, what on earth is wrong with you tonight?" He quickly chased after it, and after some effort, managed to tie it back around his waist.
"Consider yourself lucky, kid. My darling has no appetite tonight, so I'll spare your life." The burly man glanced at Fang Ling and snorted softly.
Fang Ling remained silent, only finding it increasingly interesting.
This bald man's cultivation was also not low, being at the Tianji Early Stage, only slightly weaker than this beautiful woman.
Encountering two powerful Cultivators at once was rare!
The beautiful woman looked at the listless gray snake on the burly man's waist, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes, but she did not delve deeper.
"Yun Shuiqing, this time you've gathered everyone, is there something important to discuss?"
"Could it be that you've found the Sect Master?" The bald man looked at the beautiful woman and asked.
Yun Shuiqing did not answer immediately, but instead raised her hand and gently stroked the head of the girl beside her.
The little girl, who was originally full of vigor, immediately fell asleep.
Then she replied: "Sort of! But the Sect Master is already dead, he died in Tianduan Mountain!"
"Lord Mang, do you know who this little girl beside me is?"
"Could she be related to the Sect Master?" The bald man asked suspiciously.
Yun Shuiqing nodded slightly: "Indeed, she is the Sect Master's daughter."
"That's not right! How is she so young?" The bald man frowned, not believing it at all.
"It's been over two hundred years since the Sect Master disappeared, but this little girl is only seven or eight years old, right?"
"Could it be that the Sect Master only died in recent years? Then why hasn't he come out to preside over the overall situation for so long?"
"Because when Xiao Yao was found back then, she was temporarily frozen, and the forbidden art was only lifted in recent years." Yun Shuiqing replied.
"You all know what everyone's intentions are, I don't need to say more."
"To prevent internal strife, I decided to keep this matter a secret."
"Only now, when we have the ability to subdue that beast and retrieve the Tianluo Divine Art."
"As long as the Tianluo Divine Art is passed on to this little girl, our Tianluo Sect will be able to restore its original order and regain the prestige of the Demonic Sect!"
"I know you have always been loyal to the Sect, and since we've met first, I will tell you the truth."
"To accomplish this, I need your support!"
