I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 217 Withdrawing Money
"But you didn't give me the sincerity to trust you." Ruan Xing sighed.

At this moment, Shen Lingyun and Hu San also came over.

"You're here just in time." Ruan Xing asked Shen Lingyun, "Do you think I should kill him?"

"Hey, didn't you say you would spare my life and torture me? Why are you going back on your word?" Xie Feng widened his eyes in surprise.

Shen Lingyun turned his head away and closed his eyes reluctantly, "The Sect Master has made the decision, and I have no right to interfere."

Shaking his head, Ruan Xing temporarily put aside his decision on Xie Feng and turned to Cui Yurong, saying, "You were born into a merchant family, so you should have long been accustomed to intrigues and deceptions. This time you were just too concerned and confused. I won't say anything, but after this, you must remember the lesson."

"Yes, Yurong has taken note of it. From now on, I will never believe a single word a man says!" Cui Yurong said regretfully.

Ruan Xing was speechless.

What she meant was, don't trust others easily...

How come a good heroine in a female romance novel is almost becoming a man-hating person?

She couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Is it her fault? No wonder the Heavenly Dao wanted to kill her personally...

That’s not right, because the man Cui Yurong met had problems with himself and was not a good person.

Heaven is taking out its anger on you!
No one knows when she will be able to play with the salamander, the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, like the black-clad woman who appeared on the day of the tribulation.

"What about you, do you have anything to say?" Ruan Xing asked Hu San.

She knew that Hu San would not disturb her unless it was something important.

In the entire Fengling Yueying Sect, the person who is most respectful to her is Hu San.

Hu San then bowed his head and reported, "Master, I received an invitation from Wanbao Tower yesterday."

Ruan Xing suddenly realized that it was already this time period.

She held out her hand, "Here."

After Hu San presented it, she opened it and took a quick look. It was indeed about the last auction of Wanbaolou.

She received the invitation much later than those sects in Zhongzhou.

"I know about this matter. You can all go back and do your own things."

After Ruan Xing finished speaking, Hu San and Cui Yurong both bowed and left, and Shen Lingyun looked back with something hesitant to say.

"Do you want to plead for him? He doesn't deserve your sympathy." Ruan Xing said.

"No." Shen Lingyun shook his head, "I don't know how to say it."

Her mood was very conflicted. She wanted Xie Feng to die, but she also didn't want him to die. Just like herself, sometimes she wanted to die and sometimes she wanted to live.

Could it be that after being possessed by a demon, all thoughts will become so complicated and changeable?

Then this demonic possession is too torturous.

If only she could go back to the past, when right and wrong were clearly defined, she wouldn't need to think for herself and could just follow her master's instructions.

"Then what do you want to say by staying here?" Ruan Xingqi asked.

Shen Lingyun thought about it and finally made up his mind, "I once vowed to follow the devil for the rest of my life to stop him from doing bad things. This time I failed in my duty. If there is any punishment, I should share it with him."

"The fairy is so kind that I am ashamed of myself." Xie Feng sneered.

Ruan Xing said: "I have never heard of such a request, but if you really want it, it's not impossible."

She smiled and continued, "It just so happens that I have thought of using you before."

The little seed said that those small worlds where the Hongmeng purple energy might exist were extremely dangerous, and they needed some cannon fodder with high cultivation levels to explore the way.

However, she wasn't going to tell them yet.

After staying for another three days, Ruan Xing, Ruan Tao and others said goodbye and left Fengling Yueying Sect with Shen Lingyun and Xie Feng.

And the small seed was also taken away by her. After that, the barriers of Fengling Yueying Sect and Xumi Realm will no longer exist. During the three days she stayed there, she worked with Ruan Tao and Cai Wen to repair and reinforce the formation. I'm afraid that life will not be easy in the next few months.

The demon snake that was enslaved by Xie Feng also made Ruan Tao sign a master-servant contract with it. The demon snake looked at Ruan Tao with tearful eyes, as if it was looking at a benefactor.

More than 90% of wild monsters have a savage nature that is difficult to tame, and it is difficult to correct it even if they are fed Qingshui Dan regularly, but the monster snake is surprisingly docile.

Woohoo, I'm finally free from the devil's clutches.

Xie Feng is a man who can't sit still. He plays with snakes every day when he is bored.

It is literally snake playing.

Although it sounds pitiful... the demon snake is, after all, at the Jindan stage. Ruan Tao fights everywhere, and with the demon snake, she is like adding wings to a tiger, and she uses the demon snake's strength to the right extent.

In the years since coming out of the Jintai Secret Realm, Shen Lingyun has hardly ever left the Xumi Realm, unlike Xie Feng, who would sometimes sneak out. Otherwise, he would not be so familiar with the nearby terrain.

She was a little uncomfortable and wanted to bring Mu Li with her, but was stopped by Ruan Xing.

"If you don't like it this way, I can change it for you." Ruan Xing snapped his fingers next to her cheek.

The originally bluish-white skin suddenly began to surge slightly, as if the tissue cells under the cortex were decomposing and reorganizing, and soon the complexion became rosy.

Xie Feng, who was standing next to him, suddenly had a look of surprise in his eyes.

Shen Lingyun slowly stretched out his finger and drew a water mirror in front of him. Looking at the familiar face in the mirror that he had faced for thousands of years, he was moved for a moment.

"It shouldn't be too different. I have a very deep memory of you." Ruan Xing said calmly.

How could it not be profound? I died there several times in the simulation.

She couldn't help but touch her face. Shen Lingyun said in a trance: "Well, it's exactly the same, but I'm no longer worthy of using this appearance..."

"What's the difference between it and your own face? Just use it if you want to. It will look great." Ruan Xing said.

She lowered her eyes and looked sad. "My current state will only tarnish Master's reputation..."

"You're overthinking it. No one can recognize you now, and your master may not be famous." Xie Feng interrupted, "It's been five or six thousand years. Even your great-great-grandson can't remember what you look like. Don't think too highly of yourself."

Then he said to Ruan Xing with a wry smile: "Change into one for me too. I used to be much prettier than I am now."

Ruan Xing also used the illusion technique to change his appearance. Xie Feng happily pulled Shen Lingyun's water mirror and looked left and right.

"I have no offspring." Shen Lingyun looked at Xie Feng and said, "I really don't understand why you are still so happy."

"Tsk, live one day at a time, life is meant to be enjoyed while it lasts, what's the point of worrying about it?" Xie Feng said with a smile. He didn't know why Ruan Xing brought the two of them out.

But it's not a good thing after all.

Now that we all know that it is not a good thing, then before that, why should we be unhappy if we can be happy?
Demon cultivators are always like this, never knowing when they will die. He understood this sentence very thoroughly.

The three of them were walking on the streets of Yunyang City. The children playing on the roadside were singing loudly the nursery rhyme about the Three Lives Fairy, which was not much different from the mortal children in the Xumi Realm.

Shen Lingyun's tense body relaxed a lot.

“Where are we going next?” she asked.

"You just need to get used to it. As long as you don't fight and expose your Yin Qi, my shape-shifting technique is almost flawless. Just be bold and treat yourself as a normal cultivator." Ruan Xing said, "Next, go get the money."

"Withdraw money?" Shen Lingyun was puzzled.

Because life and death are unpredictable in the world of cultivating immortals, and everyone has things like storage bags, businesses like silver banks and money houses are difficult to conduct on the Xianyuan Continent, so there is no concept of withdrawing money.

"You'll know when you get there." Ruan Xing was brief and to the point without any explanation.

After leaving Yunyang City, the three headed towards the direction of Nanzhou Xuanbing Sect.

Xie Feng felt something was wrong. "You don't want to lock me up in the underground of the Broken Ice Valley? That's a little too easy. I'm not afraid of that. I've been locked up in the cave for thousands of years."

"Stop talking too much. Can you get the money?" Ruan Xing flicked his finger, and the space cutting technique stole the distance between the two of them. The head hit Xie Feng's head through the air with a crisp sound.

"Ouch!" Xie Feng tilted his head, confused, "What the hell is this?"

"Shut up." Ruan Xing rolled his eyes at him.

Finally arriving at Xuanbing Sect, Ruan Xing entered the mine first as he was familiar with the place. After checking the mining records in recent years, he entered the mountain gate.

Successfully found the only Jindan stage person in charge in the sect. At that time, Ruan Xing changed his appearance and appeared in front of him in a swagger.

Mu Shi was startled, but seeing the huge gap in strength between him and the other party, he lowered his head and said, "Which senior is it?"

"Didn't Xu Shengping tell you?" Ruan Xing said in a rough voice, "Humph, I came to get the spirit stone, didn't he tell you?"

She was not familiar with Mu Shi. Although a Jindan-stage cultivator was no different from an ant in her eyes, Mu Shi was just an obedient tool chosen by Elder Xu and he had not done any substantial harm to Ruan Xing. If the problem could be resolved peacefully, there was no need for her to kill him.

Fortunately, Xu Shengping seemed to have told Mu Shi some things.

His brain didn't seem to be very smart. Ruan Xing showed up in front of him and didn't rob him, which was already a big favor to him. He even carefully confirmed with Ruan Xing, "Please don't blame me, senior. No one has come to take over my adoptive father since he passed away a few years ago. I am also very worried. May I ask if you want to take..."

"Thirty thousand spirit stones." Ruan Xing said impatiently.

Mu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. This indeed matched the amount his adoptive father had mentioned. Although it was a few years late, it didn't seem to be a problem.

The task given to him by his adoptive father was to come to Nanzhou to take over the position of Elder Xu and work hard to make money. At that time, his adoptive father said 30,000 spirit stones a year. If it was not enough, he would make up for it. However, the Xuanbing Sect in Nanzhou lost two secret realms and only had mines. The number of disciples in the sect was also decreasing, and the income was not as good as before. He simply could not raise enough. Fortunately, after his adoptive father died, no one came in the past few years. He finally raised 30,000 this year, and sure enough, people came.

It seems that his adoptive father is really amazing. Even after his death, he still has a plan in mind and can calculate when he can save up 30,000 spirit stones!

He was also lucky because for various reasons, Zhongzhou did not think much of Nanzhou. After the death of the former leader, no Nascent Soul cultivator was willing to be the leader of Nanzhou, so the position had remained vacant. Otherwise, with his ability, he would not be able to save up 30,000 spirit stones even if he was given a few more years.

Mu Shi took out the spirit stone from his storage bag and handed it to him respectfully. After Ruan Xing received it, he snorted coldly and left.

Shen Lingyun, who had been silent all this time, was puzzled. "Is this how you withdraw money?"

She didn't know how to describe it, but she instinctively felt that something was wrong.

If she had lived in modern times, she would understand that this behavior is called deception.

"Why do you care about her? It's enough to get the money." Xie Feng said with interest, "It's rare to find someone so gullible, but he's lucky. His gullibility saved his life."

"Let's go to the next one." Ruan Xing touched the 30,000 spirit stones he had just received, turned around and recharged the simulator.

The simulation points required for the Guixu period are one million for text simulation and one hundred thousand for real-scene simulation.

When these 30,000 spirit stones were charged in, not even a splash was seen.

However, she had already refined all of Wanbao Tower's fifth-grade pills last year, and this year Wanbao Tower is on the verge of bankruptcy, so she probably has no more wool to fleece.

It took more than two months.

Ruan Xing finally collected debts from all those who had killed her in the simulation or had a grudge against her, and finally raised more than 300,000 low-grade spirit stones.

The points also reached 3.7 million.

From then on, she unilaterally announced that all past grudges between her and these people were written off!

She won't hold a grudge anymore!
Shen Lingyun was already numb from watching this. She was doubting her life. "What on earth are we doing... How can such rude behavior be worthy of Master's teachings to me..."

"Stop, it's all me who did it. You didn't do anything, okay?" Ruan Xing quickly stopped Shen Lingyun's internal friction.

"Let's go to the next one quickly." Xie Feng crossed his arms and looked up at the sky in boredom.

Sometimes it is really torturous when the guillotine hanging over your head never falls down.

He went from being indifferent at the beginning to being distracted now.

It’s been two months. What exactly is Ruan Xing going to punish him for?
Can you hurry up! Let's have a good time!

"There is no next one." Ruan Xing said, "Let's go to the North."

She has been collecting spirit stones and replenishing her points for the past two months just to go to the North.

After all, there is the unstable factor of Xie Yao.

She really felt uneasy without having to simulate it a few times with the simulator.

When the two people heard this, they were both shocked.

"What!?"

Shen Lingyun had a look of unwillingness to obey. She bit her lip and said, "Even if I am a puppet now and my soul is possessed by a demon, I will not go to the North Territory and live in peace with those people."

Xie Feng's face was filled with sorrow. He advised, "There are many great demons in the North. Even if you have already reached the Guixu stage and are not afraid of them, it is still like ants crawling on your feet. They don't bite you, but they are annoying. Why don't you reconsider it?"

"Don't worry, there are not many big demons in the North now, they are all dead." Ruan Xing said, "I won't do anything I'm not sure of. Let's go to Chaos City first. If it doesn't work, I won't take you in."

You have three chances to take the text simulation, or thirty-seven days to take the real-life simulation. If you fail, you won’t be able to proceed.

Xie Feng lowered his head and thought, thinking to himself: If the immortal cultivators killed all the demon cultivators, and the demon cultivators could not survive in the Xianyuan Continent, Ruan Xing would not allow her disciples to cultivate demons on a large scale, and even build a charity cemetery for disciples to practice, because there is no benefit at all. She must be willing to do this because the demon cultivators are not that weak.

But she also said that there are no great demons in the North. Could it be that... it was a demon cultivator who practiced the Way of Devouring who became the Holy Demon Lord of this generation?
Anyone who can become a Saint Demon Lord must be in the Guixu Stage. I don’t know if he recognizes him.
