Guan Yeshan, the second floor of the Transmission Pavilion

"Don't be so tense. Yaomo of our level don't necessarily have to eat people—if you demonstrate enough effectiveness, we'll definitely spare your life."

Because Jian Cunyi's sudden addition to the scene was so effective, the woman in black was terrified, so Lin Yu gently comforted her and soothed her emotions.

The woman in black calmed down slightly after Lin Yu's words, a look of lingering fear on her face, and slowly spoke.

"I really worked... I'm not joking with the two kings..."

"Although I was indeed forced to barely survive by that terror, it's no coincidence that I've lived this long," the woman in black said, pointing to herself. "In the past month, I've figured out many of the patterns of that terrifying 'activity.'"

"The scope of the invasion from the Yin Side, the events that occur Yin Time... these are all traceable."

"Even if I'm accidentally targeted by the Yin Side, I have some ways to escape."

As the woman in black spoke, Jian Cunyi spoke up.

"Really? Then tell me everything you know."

Having been terrified just now, the woman in black has Leng Jing down somewhat. She looked up at Lin Yu and Jian Cunyi, and although she was very afraid, she still spoke firmly.

"No... Your Majesties, if I were to tell you all this now, I would truly be doomed."

"These are the very things that save my life—as long as you two kings don't kill me, I, as your 'guide,' will naturally tell you these things little by little."

Upon hearing Jian Cunyi opened his mouth as if to threaten the other party, but ultimately he didn't utter the words that went against his true feelings.

He looked at Lin Yu, Lin Yu once again took on the role of "Yaomo".

"If you don't tell us, you're truly doomed... Do you think you still have the leverage to negotiate with us?"

The woman in black bit her lip, her voice trembling as she said, "I think... anyway, we're going to die anyway... so why not gamble on an option that might allow us to live a little longer?"

"If I don't tell you these things now, even if you find out what I'm saying in the future and then kill me, at least I'll have lived a little longer and had more chances... I'll definitely choose this side!"

Lin Yu stared at the woman in black, who became somewhat uneasy under Lin Yu gaze and eventually closed her eyes.

After a long while, Lin Yu laughed.

"Alright... then it's fine if you don't want to tell me. But from now on, if you ever hold us back or try to ambush us, I will kill you—and I will torture you to death. I will not let you die easily."

Lin Yu sneered, and the woman in black opened her eyes.

Although it was another threat, the content of those words meant that the woman in black did indeed have a chance to live for the time being.

So, she actually felt relieved.

"Don't worry, maybe by then... you won't want to kill me at all."

At this point, she pointed to herself as if boasting.

"After all, Your Majesty, if you work with me for a while, you'll find that I'm actually a very good teammate and companion!"

Hearing what the woman in black said, Lin Yu nodded.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Jian Cunyi also took out a white paper folding fan, opened it, and gently shook it.

I hope so!

"However, you should still state your name and lineage—that way, it will be easier for Brother Lin and me to address you."

Jian Cunyi spoke, the woman in black quickly spoke up.

"I am Guan Night Orchid from the Eight Desolations Martial Arts School, my nickname in the martial arts world is 'Golden Needle, Jade Knife'... You two can just call me Little Guan."

Lin Yu didn't react much to the title, but Jian Cunyi raised an eyebrow.

"The Eight Desolations Martial Arts School... is the surname Guan?"

"Who are Guan Jingyang, the head of the Eight Desolations Martial Arts School, and Chen Ru of the White Crane Martial Arts School to you?"

The woman in black was taken aback when she heard Jian Cunyi say that, clearly not expecting Jian Cunyi suddenly be able to name those two people.

A hint of unease flashed in her eyes before she spoke, "Those are my... uncle and aunt."

How did you know?

Jian Cunyi hearing this, Jian Cunyi nodded and said, "Guan Jingyang and Heroine Chen Ru are two very heroic figures, renowned in the martial arts world. I have naturally heard of their names."

"You're actually a descendant of the Guan family? That really surprises me..."

The woman in black Guan Night Orchid, laughed awkwardly, "Ha, ha... Is that so... Yes, it is indeed a bit of a disgrace to the Guan family."

Lin Yu listened to their conversation, shook his head, and looked somewhat helpless.

He really wanted to complain...

"Brother Jian, you were just a little Yaomo, 'hehehe,' wanting to devour human flesh and entrails. How come you've suddenly become someone who praises the heroism of human warriors and admires their names?"

This character's persona is completely inconsistent!

The character arcs are all different now!

But Lin Yu didn't actually complain out loud, after all... it was just a small personal insistence of his.

Guan Night Orchid, clearly caught up in the current situation, hadn't noticed the change in Jian Cunyi's character.

Even if they could figure it out, they would probably just think it's because the Yaomo is capricious or something.

In short...

Since Jian Cunyi didn't expose anything, Lin Yu naturally wouldn't intentionally sabotage him.

Meanwhile, Jian Cunyi started chatting with Guan Night Orchid.

"It's not that I think you've disgraced Master Guan... I just feel that since you're a disciple of the Eight Desolations Martial Arts School, your fighting style is a bit different—your ability to conceal your presence is excellent... The Eight Desolations Martial Arts School's Cultivation Method doesn't have this effect."

"Even the White Crane Martial Arts School's techniques, though agile and varied, are not to the point where I almost couldn't see through your abilities."

Jian Cunyi spoke, he even took a slight consideration for Guan Night Orchid's feelings.

Lin Yu could roughly guess that because this "Guan Night Orchid" was from a prestigious family, and the two people Jian Cunyi had just mentioned were likely to be Martial World Righteous Path who had long been acquainted with him, this "Feng Shui Master" naturally felt a sense of favor towards her.

That's only human nature.

However, Guan Night Orchid became increasingly evasive in the face of Jian Cunyi's words.

"I've learned a bit of everything, Your Majesty... This concealment technique isn't something from the academy or my family's teachings."

Jian Cunyi nodded. "I see... However, I seem to have vaguely heard of the name 'Golden Needle, Jade Knife.' You should be quite strong among the younger generation—bringing you along is really not a burden."

Guan Night Orchid forced a smile, "Hmm... probably—anyway, Your Majesties, there's still about half an hour before the Yin Time arrives. Until then, we're safe staying in this Transmission Pavilion!"

"But Yin Time arrives... we'd better not stay here, but move to a safer place."

Guan Night Orchid spoke, she reminded the two, "If you two need anything done in this Transmission Pavilion, you'd better hurry—I'm very familiar with the layout of this pavilion, and I can easily show you around."

Guan Night Orchid spoke, while Jian Cunyi was still pondering and organizing his thoughts, Lin Yu had already become quite blunt.

"Very well, then tell me, where are the most precious Cultivation Method and skills kept in this Transmission Pavilion?"

"We came here specifically for the legacy of the Duxuan Sect! The Du Duxuan Sect has collected many cultivation techniques and Cultivation Method, and we want to take the most valuable ones with us!"

As Lin Yu spoke, he fully utilized the enormous advantage of his current identity as a "Yaomo".

Why bother with formalities when you're already Yaomo? Just openly admit you're here to steal it!

Guan Night Orchid didn't dare to be negligent at all and immediately responded to Lin Yu.

"Your Majesty is wise. During my time hiding in the Transmission Pavilion, I did indeed thoroughly investigate which cultivation techniques within the pavilion were the most valuable and rare. Since you two kings have come to seek the inheritance of the Duxuan Sect, please follow me!"

Guan Night Orchid spoke, she gestured for them to proceed, pointing to the stairs to the side.

Then, she led Lin Yu and Jian Cunyi up to the second floor.

The second floor is similar in structure to the first floor, consisting of rows of bookshelves displaying various styles of martial arts techniques. However, the arrangement is less dense and the space appears more spacious and open.

Lin Yu looked at Jian Cunyi and said, "These do indeed look like some more valuable cultivation techniques."

Jian Cunyi nodded and lowered his voice, saying, "Indeed, what you find here are usually advanced cultivation Cultivation Method... But Brother Lin, rare ones aren't necessarily good. When it comes to cultivation techniques, it's best to choose the one that suits you best and that you need most."

"After all, there are many ways for 'Player' to gain Supernatural Power... The most important thing is to be able to combine them with their existing ability system and [Item]—this is especially true at Divine Rank, where 'simplification' is crucial."

"After all, cultivating Supernatural Power itself requires a lot of your energy... and the higher the level of the technique, the more difficult it is to master."

As a senior "Player" at the "Tier 4," Jian Cunyi offered Lin Yu advice and reminders.

Lin Yu nodded, "Don't worry, Brother Jian, I've already considered that. However, as Guan Night Orchid just mentioned, we don't have much time left. We only have about half an hour left, and then it's that so-called 'Yin Time,' so we don't have time to choose slowly... Therefore, I plan to start by looking at the more precious cultivation techniques. That way, we can finish choosing as soon as possible and leave more time so that we won't be in too much of a mess later."

As Lin Yu spoke, Jian Cunyi moment, then nodded in deep agreement; "Brother Lin is right... Moreover, I actually intended to start with these rarer and more precious cultivation techniques first."

Jian Cunyi spoke, Lin Yu said helplessly, "Right? Aren't you the same?"

"But the reasons are different—I want to choose rare cultivation techniques first because I've been in the Prison Mountain Realm for so long, I've probably already collected and seen most of the common ones. Even if I haven't... I'm sure I've mastered a substitute for it—especially since the inheritance I received was left behind by a senior from the Du Duxuan Sect."

"Therefore... I'll start by searching among these rarer and more precious cultivation techniques, which will make it easier to find techniques that are compatible and aligned with the content of my lineage!"
