The evil woman cultivates immortality, and the whole clan offers sacrifice to the heaven

Blood Lotus Seed said expressionlessly, "Well said. It seems that my teaching you was not in vain. Do you also think that the broken strings are caused by uneven spiritual energy wrapping?"

Everyone held their breath and dared not even breathe.

Obviously, Blood Lotus Seed was not asking a question, but venting his anger for the failure of refining.

At this time, whoever speaks will die.

No one spoke, but Blood Lotus Seed started calling out names again.

This time, she named a female disciple, "Shu Yun, you speak."

Shu Yun was sweating profusely and stammered, "Disciple believes that the broken strings are not caused by uneven spiritual power..."

Xue Lianzi's expression remained calm. "Then what do you think is the reason?"

"Yes Yes……"

Shu Yun kept saying "yes" for a long time but couldn't explain anything. Xue Lianzi lost his patience and slapped her to death.

"You're useless. You've been following me for so long, but you can't even spot a small problem. What use do I have for you?"

Another one died, and the disciples became even more frightened. They all prayed desperately that the Blood Lotus Seed would not call out their names.

Seeing this, Zi Ling's eyes flickered slightly. She was about to express her opinion, but someone was one step ahead of her.

It’s Meng Wan.

As soon as she came out, she knelt down on the ground and kowtowed several times towards the blood lotus seeds, making the floor bang.

"Senior, I was wrong!"

A hint of interest appeared on Xue Lianzi's face. "Oh? What did you do wrong?"

"The material of the strings is special, and the temperature during the smelting process is extremely high. If the temperature is too high or too low, the material may be damaged, thus affecting the strength and toughness of the strings."

Meng Wan said with a guilty look on her face, "The strings broke because of the improper heating.

I am a new disciple and was in charge of adding firewood to the fire room. I was so flustered that I failed to add the spiritual firewood to the furnace in time, which delayed the important matter of the senior. I beg the senior to punish me!"

Blood Lotus Seed nodded with relief.

She herself is a master of refining instruments. How could she not know why the strings failed to be refined?

It has nothing to do with the temperature, firewood, or anything like that!

It was because of her misjudgment and she was too hasty in refining the molten mineral into strings, which resulted in a deviation when the spiritual power wrapped around the molten mineral, leading to the failure.

It was just that it was so embarrassing for her, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, to make such a low-level mistake in front of a group of Qi Refining disciples.

She was in a bad mood, so she wanted to kill a few disciples she disliked to make herself feel better.

However, Meng Wan took the blame on herself, which gave her a way out.

"That's right, the failure in refining the strings was indeed due to the improper temperature.

Meng Wan, a newcomer, could spot such an obvious problem. It's really disappointing that you guys haven't noticed it after following me for so long."

Xue Lianzi glanced at the disciples coldly, then his gaze fell back on Meng Wan with admiration in his eyes.

"Although it is your fault, considering your sincere attitude in admitting your mistake, I will fine you three months' salary."

Meng Wan was overjoyed, "Yes, thank you for your kindness, senior."

Three months' monthly salary added up to less than a thousand spirit stones. This punishment was just a formality.

"Okay, let's stop here for today's weapon refining. You all can go back. Meng Wan will stay."

After the others had left, Xue Lianzi looked at Meng Wan with a friendly expression, "Get up."

Meng Wan stood up obediently.

"You took the initiative to take the blame for the failure of refining the weapon, but I punished you. Are you dissatisfied?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Wan knelt down without hesitation.

“I was able to enter the Xuanyin Sect and have everything I have today because of you, senior.

Senior, don’t say that you only fined me three months’ salary. Even if you took my life, I would have no complaints! "

Xue Lianzi's expression was moved, and he personally pulled Meng Wan up.

"Since you have accepted my throne and shared my worries, I will not let you suffer any loss!"

Xue Lianzi pondered for a moment, took out a pair of boots and handed them to Meng Wan.

"This boot is called Wind Chasing, and it is a high-grade spiritual weapon for speed. Although you have some strength, you are only at the seventh level of Qi Refining after all. When you meet a strong enemy, you must not blindly show off your strength. It is important to save your life."

Meng Wan saw the boots, but did not take them. Instead, she waved her hands in panic.

"How precious is a top-grade spiritual weapon? How can I be worthy of such a reward?"

Xue Lianzi's face turned serious and he stuffed the boots into Meng Wan's hands without giving her a chance to refuse.

"Take the reward. Save your life so that you can continue to share my worries in the future."

Meng Wan had no choice but to pick up the Wind-Chasing Boots with a grateful look on her face and nodded vigorously.

"Don't worry, senior. I will practice hard and refine the weapon diligently, and will never bring shame to your reputation!"

"Well, let's go down."

Meng Wan walked out of the workshop with excitement on her face, thinking that Blood Lotus Seed was really generous.

This is a top-grade spiritual weapon, and he actually gave it to me just like that.

For an ordinary Qi-refining cultivator, it would be good enough to have a low-grade spiritual weapon.

Those who are doing well only use mid-grade spiritual weapons.

Only the geniuses of the sects and the children of large families with good backgrounds can possess top-grade spiritual weapons during the Qi Refining Stage.

If she holds on to Xue Lianzi's thigh well, she will definitely be able to stay comfortably in Xuanyin Sect.

But when Meng Wan was about to reach the disciples' residence, two disciples blocked her way.

She had just met these two people in the weapon workshop not long ago, and they were very close to Zi Ling.

The two men stopped Meng Wan and looked at her unkindly.

"Meng Wan, Senior Sister Zi Ling wants you to come over."

"What benefits did Zi Ling give you to make you so devoted to her and work hard for her?"

Meng Wan looked at the two people in front of her with a smile and asked curiously.

"How dare you! Are you worthy of calling Senior Sister Zi Ling by her name?"

"Don't think that just because you killed Xiao Youzhang by chance, you have the strength to fight against us!"

Meng Wan blinked innocently, "Ah, sorry, since Senior Sister Zi Ling invites you, please lead the way."

Seeing Meng Wan compromise, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, they were a little afraid of Meng Wan's trump card, but they dared not disobey Senior Sister Zi Ling's orders.

Fortunately, Meng Wan seemed to be intimidated by Senior Sister Zi Ling's reputation, and perhaps she had used up all her trump cards.

The two men took Meng Wan to an independent courtyard.

"Come in, Senior Sister Zi Ling is waiting for you inside."

After the two of them finished talking, they stood guard at the door, one on the left and one on the right, as if they were preventing Meng Wan from escaping.

Meng Wan smiled at the two of them in a friendly manner, and strode into the courtyard with a swagger, looking innocent.

"Senior Sister Zi Ling, are you there?"

A gust of wind suddenly blew in the yard, the gate slammed shut, and Zi Ling's figure appeared in front of Meng Wan.

She looked at Meng Wan with a sneer on her face.

"You actually dare to come here, you are really brave!"

Meng Wan smiled shyly, "Senior sister invited me so kindly, if I refuse, wouldn't it be bad?"

"Well said."

Zi Ling looked at Meng Wan indifferently, "If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have been able to do anything to you. Now that you're here, come and experience the power of this Tian Gang Subduing Demon Formation!"

Tian Gang Demon Subduing Formation!

This formation is extremely powerful and has unexpected effects when dealing with demonic cultivators.

For cultivators below the Foundation Establishment Stage, once they step into this formation, their life or death is basically determined.
