A group of people walked to the platform halfway up the mountain and saw Qin Yi standing there. Minghe was also stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly to greet him.

Qin Yi rolled his eyes inwardly. Minghe was still the same as always. They had known each other for so long, and even if they weren't friends, they were at least acquaintances and had even "lived together." Yet, in her eyes, she didn't seem much different from anyone else.

While Minghe was ruthless, Qin Yi still possessed some compassion, so he cupped his hands in greeting. "Fellow Daoist, didn't you go back to seclusion? What brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, everyone, including the Old Daoist Nun, was taken aback.

Also present was a middle-aged scholar, Yang Pu, the magistrate of Wangnan County. The reason why Magistrate Yang personally came to this remote mountain place was because he was amazed by Minghe's Celestial Person and was captivated at first sight.

Such a beauty exists in the world, yet she has wasted her talent by becoming a female Daoist priest! Lord Yang was heartbroken and immediately composed several poems in hopes of winning the beauty's favor, but all his literary talent was wasted, and Minghe didn't even glance at him.

Lord Yang had no choice but to follow the beauty to the countryside, hoping for a chance to strike up a conversation.

Lord Yang wasn't the only one who was awestruck by Minghe's Celestial Person. Upon arriving in town, everyone in the Wang Family, except for the women, stared in disbelief at Minghe. Had they ever seen such a beauty before?

However, no one dared to approach her. Besides Lord Yang's attitude, which made it clear that most people wouldn't dare to compete, the most important reason was that Minghe gave people the feeling of being too distant.

This wasn't a feeling created by mere expression or demeanor, but rather the natural influence of Minghe's personal imagery of Immortal Dao on mortals' senses, irresistibly penetrating their hearts. It was like gazing at the distant Milky Way in the sky; though you stood before it, it seemed incredibly far away. Unless one was also a cultivator capable of counteracting this imagery's influence, any mortal who could feel affection for Minghe was practically a god capable of fantasizing about a statue.

In fact, Lord Yang's attentiveness was almost like casting a spell on a statue, receiving no response whatsoever.

If it weren't for the fact that Minghe would still exchange a few words with the Old Daoist Nun, people would even think that she was mute and wouldn't respond to anyone.

When they got to the mountain, a young man actually called Minghe "fellow Daoist"? The way he spoke made them sound like they knew each other, not like he was deliberately trying to strike up a conversation!

Lord Yang tensed up, silently repeating to himself: I won't pay attention to him, I won't pay attention to him.

Then Minghe parted her cherry lips slightly and said, " On my Dao Path, I witnessed the ice melting and the snow thawing, the gentle breeze turning into rain. Reflecting on what I had seen and heard before, I was moved. So I secluded myself in my master's cave abode outside the county for half a month and was fortunate enough to break through."

Well, not only did she pay attention to him, but she also talked at length and in great detail.

People almost burst into tears. Who was this boy? Some even recognized him: wasn't he the well-drilling worker from yesterday?

Qin Yi had no idea what others were thinking. He assumed that in Minghe's eyes, he was no different from anyone else, but the difference was actually quite significant. Hearing Minghe's words only fueled his urge to retort, "You broke through? Am I saying you're cheating?"

"What does 'cheating' mean?" Minghe, puzzled.

"Uh, did you eat Immortal Pill?"

"No pills were used."

Everyone: "..."

Despite the complaints, Qin Yi's breakthrough with Minghe wasn't entirely unexpected.

Minghe has broken through from the Qin Xin realm to the Soaring Cloud Realm, which in the Inner Core Dao is called the initial formation of the Golden Elixir. This should be an extremely difficult hurdle for anyone, which is why Minghe specifically went out to experience the mortal world. Theoretically, it should be a very difficult hurdle, but Minghe is no ordinary person. He is a sect genius who reached the Heart of the Harp Perfection before the age of twenty. Qin Yi has never seen another person who could make Liusu, such a pretentious Korean, praise him so highly on their first meeting.

Such genius is probably beyond the measure of common sense.

The upheaval in Southern Li involved matters of national importance and the debate over immortality. Minghe witnessed the entire process, which probably coincided with her training needs. It was not surprising that she gained some insights and was able to break through.

Minghe continued, "In short, just as I was leaving the pass, my uncle received a request for help, saying that something strange was happening here. After understanding the situation, my uncle suspected that it was the work of Drought Demon, so he invited me to come and take a look. What brings you here, fellow Daoist?"

"Uncle-Master..." Qin Yi glanced at the Old Daoist Nun. She was only at the sixth or seventh level of the Phoenix Realm, not much higher than him. How could she be called Uncle-Master? It was just because of her seniority.

So, the Old Daoist Nun wasn't confident she could handle the imagined "Drought Demon," which is why she specially invited Minghe for help. Qin Yi suddenly wanted to laugh, "So, it seems you, fellow Daoist, are going to intervene in this strange event?"

Minghe didn't know the meaning behind Qin Yi's smile, so she could only say, "Exactly."

Qin Yi laughed heartily, "That's great, I'm here to watch the show."

Minghe paused for a moment, finally realizing what Qin Yi was laughing at. A smile crept onto her lips as well.

She was an observer in Southern Li. Qin Yi was one of the books she was observing and perusing.

Qin Yi is "taking revenge." Now that she can no longer save face for her elders, she has become a part of this situation, while Qin Yi stands idly by and watches her show.

"Give and take, it's all part of the Karma Cycle. I hope you gain something from this, fellow Daoist." Minghe gave a Daoist salute, but her beautiful eyes glanced at Humble Origins, a hint of fierceness flashing within them. "However, this one... could she also be your sister?"

From the moment Minghe appeared, the Humble Origins man's chubby legs had been trembling, and now his face had turned green.

Elder Sister, you're here to relieve the drought, can you put exorcising demons and monsters aside for now? The Humble Origins is on the verge of tears.

But Qin Yi laughed and said, "At least in this matter, this shopkeeper and you have similar goals. Let's finish this first and then settle other accounts. Anyway, I don't care."

Humble Origins glanced at Qin Yi with a resentful look, but said nothing.

Minghe didn't say anything; she was never the stubborn type who insisted on killing every demon she saw.

The fellow Daoists' reminiscing finally ended, leaving countless onlookers frozen in shock. The Old Daoist Nun, unable to contain herself any longer, asked, "Virtuous Nephew, who is this?"

Minghe bowed and said, "I met this fellow Daoist during my travels in Southern Li. He is chivalrous and keeps his promises. He is a trustworthy person."

Qin Yi was extremely pleased to hear this. It turned out that Minghe had a pretty high opinion of him!

While he was pleased, others were not. County Magistrate Yang Pu snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "No wonder he was carrying Wolf Tooth Club; he's a barbarian."

Qin Yi gripped the Liusu tightly, his face expressionless.

Unexpectedly, after hearing Minghe's kind words, the Old Daoist Nun's expression not only did not become kind, but became even more sour. She said stiffly, "You can know a person's face, but you can't know their heart. Who can be trusted? This person lives with demons, so he may not be a good person."

Qin Yi frowned and said calmly, "The barbarians and monsters worked together with great difficulty to wound the Corpse Demon. Yet these self-righteous people, these local patriarchs, are arrogant and incessantly chattering, ignoring the real enemy. I don't know what you're here for?"

"You!" Magistrate Yang was about to retort when Minghe spoke first, "There are indeed traces of Technique Method battle here, and the aura of the corpse demon is gradually weakening, indicating that it has been seriously injured. I wish to go in and observe; please wait outside."

"How can that be?" Magistrate Yang immediately said, "How can we sit idly by and watch the Fairy go into danger? If we all go together, we can at least help out in some way."

Ming He didn't say anything. His beautiful eyes focused on the word "" on the mountain wall for a long time. He seemed to be surprised, but he didn't look much and walked up the mountain.

With her Cloud Soaring Realm, defeating a mere Corpse Demon was indeed not difficult for her.

Magistrate Yang and his entourage followed in a swarm.

Qin Yi looked up at the departing figures of the group climbing the mountain, but his eyes never left Humble Origins. He clearly caught a hint of a smile in Humble Origins's eyes.

This fatso is not entirely truthful and is suspected of trying to scam people. Don't be fooled by Minghe's high cultivation level; entering the temple this time is definitely not as simple as it seems. We need to be careful.
