The waste she became the first array mage

Li Yirou went to the sect's steward's hall and received more than two years' salary and items. She also sold some of the spiritual plants and monster corpses she had obtained from the secret realm, and other treasures in exchange for about 50 medium-grade spirit stones.

On the way to the Deacon Hall, Li Yirou saw her duty roster at the Goddess Temple. She had completely forgotten about this matter, and she didn't know who had been on duty for her during the days she was trapped in the secret realm.

Li Yirou has scheduled a shift for tomorrow, and the order of the days is the same as before, with no changes. She should go.

No matter what happened, it couldn't be changed. She comforted herself that she could only keep moving forward.

Building the foundation and traveling were too tiring and consumed a lot of her energy. She felt even more sad at the moment and thought she should take a rest.

Back in the cave, Lu Huairen came back from outside and chatted with her for a few words with Yu Mao.

Seeing that she was uninterested and looked sad, Lu Huairen stopped Yu Mao and asked her to have a good rest.

Li Yirou rested for a while in a daze, her mind was in a mess and she was restless, so she forced herself to get up and continue meditating. She had no intention of practicing, so she just quietly watched the lotus in the spiritual platform.

The bell had long been broken in the secret realm, so she now relied on observing the sun and sky to keep track of time. When she saw the sky getting slightly brighter, she stood up and set out to enter the Goddess Temple.

"Are you Senior Brother Fang?" It was actually the little female cultivator whom she met when she first came to the Goddess Temple. She had grown up a little, but was still very cute. "Yes." Li Yirou replied.

"Brother Fang, you haven't been on duty for two years and three months. I took your place nine times in total. We are all from the same sect. I only charge you 15 spirit stones each time. Brother, thank you~"

"Two years?!" Li Yirou was surprised. Hasn't it been more than four years since she entered the secret realm? Is it possible that the flow of time in the secret realm is different from that outside? But why did the poisonous insect know the time and not die?

So was it all just a misunderstanding of her own body sense? Did the center of the secret realm get dark once every six hours?

The young female cultivator fell silent after she finished speaking, but thought she wanted to deny her debt. "Brother, I remember it all, look..." She took out a small book and flipped through it. There was Fang Ye's name on it with less than two correct characters written on it.

Originally, if there were any disciples who had not returned by the end of the construction period, the sect would have compensated her. But now that the senior brother had returned, he should have compensated her himself.

"I'm just surprised that I've been away for so long." Li Yirou smiled at her and handed her a middle-grade spirit stone and 40 low-grade spirit stones. "Thank you very much for helping me keep watch. You can take a rest today."

The girl, who was a little angry and ready to argue with her, found that the senior brother really didn't mean to cheat, and her face blushed slightly, "Thank you, senior brother, would you like to add my contact information? You can still find me next time if you have any problems!"

She is quite a generous senior sister. I hope I can find her again if I have any problems!

"I lost my communication jade slip..." Li Yirou wanted to ask her for help when she had time, and the fee was not high. "I'll add you next time after I buy it."

"Okay." The girl smiled, perhaps thinking that she was shirking her responsibility, so she said nothing more, picked up the notebook on the table and left.

Li Yirou stood far away from the statue of the goddess, looking at the goddess with a compassionate expression.

There was no one around, so she took off the mask that was almost welded to her face and walked to the statue of the goddess.

Putting down a low-grade spirit stone, Li Yirou drew three incense sticks and lit them. The incense mist was still floating upwards at first, but suddenly changed direction again and rushed towards her face.

Li Yirou quietly felt the fragrant mist, and a few of the light spots passed through the mist and hung on her body. She could not see them normally, and she could only see them occasionally. There would be a dozen merit lights on her body.

But this time it was very clear. Why did the goddess pass on the merits to her? Was it to her or to the original owner? What was the connection between the original owner and her?

But the goddess's merits were pitifully few, and the transmission was over very quickly. Li Yirou saw the incense mist continue to rise, as if nothing had just happened.

Her spiritual consciousness had been paying attention to the surroundings, and suddenly she realized someone was coming, so she hurriedly sat back in the small bamboo shed where the disciples on duty were.

The light in front of her suddenly dimmed. Li Yiru looked up and saw a young man in black.

Li Yirou couldn't help but keep her eyes on his face for a moment. Good-looking monks were rare to see, and his temperament made her admire him even more.

The boy has a young face, but he is very tall and looks a little thin.

He has delicate features and bright, round eyes. He should look lively, but his expression reveals a hint of fatigue, as if he doesn't care about anything. He is cold and indifferent.

After seeing her, Li Yirou was more keenly aware of the disappointment and boredom that flashed across his eyes. Perhaps it was because he had seen too many such looks?

She didn't have any other intentions, so Li Yirou simply withdrew her gaze and stopped looking at him. She just said lightly: "Ten spirit beads, three incense sticks, and lingering fragrance. You can stay for one night." She fulfilled her duty.

The young man also put down a low-grade spirit stone and drew three incense sticks. Li Yirou followed him and watched him pay tribute to the goddess and bow devoutly. The incense mist rose normally, but then he turned around and left the Goddess Temple.

...Yes, the clothes he was wearing looked unusual, so why would he need to stay overnight in a place like this?

Seeing that there was no one around, Li Yirou was too lazy to put on the mask. She would think about it later when she returned to the sect. After she took it off, she really didn't want to wear it again. She felt a little uncomfortable.

While on duty, she was still wondering, since it was only a little over two years, would she still have time to take revenge?

When the poisonous insect on his body falls off, will Han Yuzhen come to find her on his own initiative? Will he be afraid to come because of his old age and fading magic power?

In that case, she'd better take the initiative to go to the Western Realm, make arrangements in advance, and lure him over. Li Yirou calculated in her mind, sniffing the fragrance in the Goddess Temple, which made her mind slightly calmer.

After a day on duty, someone took over in the early morning and she got up and left.

There were few pedestrians on the road, and there were a few shops that ordinary people would go to. Li Yirou had been away from the world for a long time, so she was particularly familiar with all sounds. Now that her spiritual awareness range had become wider, she wanted to hear all sounds.

This made her feel like she had finally returned to the human world and was no longer alone in the quiet and deserted environment.

"Grandma Shi, please sell it to me again! I really didn't want to use it last time, I sold it to someone else! I really have something important to do, the Explosive Spirit Gu..." The woman's voice sounded a little anxious, but the next words were suddenly blocked by the formation, and Li Yirou could not hear them.

The surname is Shi! Gu worm! Li Yirou looked anxiously in the direction where the sound came from. To the southwest, the straight-line distance that her spiritual sense detected was this row of houses, but she couldn't be sure of the exact shop.

It just so happened that five shops lined up on that street were open, three of which were closer to where Li Yirou heard the sound.

There was only one man in the restaurant, but because of the mask, Li Yirou did not dare to rule him out easily.

She didn't dare to ask directly. Shi Yue's people were all carefully hiding from the world. How could she cause them trouble?

Li Yirou was standing quietly on the street trying to think of a solution when suddenly a woman stared at her in disbelief. She quickly walked up to her and excitedly called out her name, "Li Yirou!"
