For Lin Yu, the [Hunyuan Dao Palace Guest Elder Item], as a token symbolizing his status, actually had more practical value than its symbolic significance.

However, the [Duxuan Daoist Canon], which seems to be a practical [Item], actually has a greater symbolic meaning.

This not only allows Lin Yu to produce more "legitimate proof" of the Duxuan Sect inherited techniques without arousing suspicion in front of the "Feng Shui Master" Jian Cunyi, but also allows him to sense...

This [Duxuan Daoist Canon] also seems to represent a kind of "approval" from the Dao Ancestor of the Prison Mountain Realm.

After all, when Jian Cunyi wanted to take the contents of the Sutra Repository, he had obtained permission from the Dao Ancestor.

This action made it easy for Lin Yu to guess... At least in Jian Cunyi's view, the Dao Ancestor had the right to dispose of the Daoist scriptures within the "Duxuan Sect".

Therefore, Lin Yu could vaguely guess that the [Duxuan Daoist Canon] appearing in his hands at this moment meant that after experiencing the subsequent events, especially after his participation in the sealing of "Demon Ancestor Gantuo" and his meritorious service, the Dao Ancestor felt that... the Duxuan Sect methods he had given him before were a bit too few?

This wasn't just wishful thinking on his part, because Lin Yu now knew that the so-called "Dao Ancestor" was merely a "Deity" in a very special form, formed when many eminent figures within the Daoist Sect voluntarily relinquished their "self" and ascended to the Heavenly Dao, merging with the Heaven and Earth Will heaven and earth in this Prison Mountain Realm Chaos of Huotian Heaven and Earth five hundred years ago.

The will of these "Dao Ancestor" originated from the Daoist Sect predecessors, and their way of thinking must have a very significant characteristic: that is, they are guided by the common people of the Prison Mountain Realm.

Having done so many good deeds, it's no wonder that he received the Dao Ancestor's approval and recognition!

"In short, this [Duxuan Daoist Canon] can be kept well..."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then looked at the next [Item].

[Golden Jade Twin Blades: A pair of blades forged by the Eight Desolations Martial Arts School. Their hardness allows them to easily absorb blood and True Essence. When used with unique techniques, they gain different enhancements during strikes. The golden blade pierces armor, damaging both armor and inanimate objects through the resonance of blood and true True Essence; the jade blade severs life, penetrating living beings and energy through the outward release of blood and True Essence to form a protective aura.]

This is a pretty good pair of weapons—if Lin Yu had obtained them during the time when he lacked a suitable main weapon and had to swing the [Fear Torch] every day, these weapons would have been a godsend.

But now, Lin Yu is far from lacking weapons.

Moreover, with top-tier weapons like [White Bone Flowing Light] and [Crescent Moon Cold Night], this [Golden Jade Twin Blades] is merely icing on the cake!

After all...

Even the "double swords" weren't Lin Yu's first pair.

The [Saber-toothed Bone Twin Blades] from the Black Marsh World are a prime example.

However, in Lin Yu's opinion, the strength of these two swords was indeed similar to that of the [Saber-toothed Bone Twin Blades].

However, the [Saber-toothed Bone Twin Blades] are more suitable for close-quarters combat and deathmatch, and considering their compatibility with the user... assigning them to "Yayu" as a supplementary melee weapon in addition to the [Rune-etched Short Sword] is indeed a good choice.

Although this sword was used before when I impersonated "Sherlock" and disguised myself as Fu Luo in the Barren Realm, considering that this [Saber-toothed Bone Twin Blades] is not an ultra-rare [Item] with unique properties, and considering that at the time the only "Player" to see this sword was "Zhu Rong"...

Even if "Zhu Rong" did encounter "Yayu" using this knife and became suspicious, Lin Yu and "Zhu Rong's" friend, Nightless Sky Huo Ming, are now business Partner. There are many ways to dispel Zhu Rong's doubts, so Lin Yu feels there is no need to worry about this.

In contrast, the [Golden Jade Twin Blades] are more like those used by someone skilled in wide-ranging, sweeping attacks...

"Among my identities, none of them seem to be particularly bold and unrestrained, with moderate and grand combat methods... Perhaps I should design an identity in that aspect?"

"After all, I also received a lot of Martial Arts knowledge from Yun Jushi this time."

Lin Yu pondered, but did not make a decision immediately.

After all...

Extra Item and abilities are generally allocated to those who already have an identity, as they serve that identity.

Creating an identity specifically for a certain [Item] or a certain Supernatural System is putting the cart before the horse.

After all, fabricating each identity would require a lot of Lin Yu's energy, and might even involve taking on more risks.

So...

If you want to acquire a new identity, it must be one that is highly useful and beneficial.

Given his current situation, Lin Yu couldn't imagine under what circumstances he would need a new identity.

"Let's keep these [Golden Jade Twin Blades] for now."

Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then looked at the next [Item], namely the [Soul-Devouring Poison Bee Gu Box].

Like the [Golden Jade Twin Blades], the [Soul-Devouring Poison Bee Gu Box] is Item whose general type can be guessed from its name.

The [Golden Jade Twin Blades] is a weapon, while this [Soul-Devouring Poison Bee Gu Box]... is naturally Hidden Weapons that raises poisonous insects.

[Soul-Devouring Poison Bee Gu Box: A Gu box Magical Artifacts containing eighteen Soul-Devouring Poisonous Bee Gu. When opened, it can activate the eighteen Soul-Devouring Poisonous Bees to attack targets locked by the holder's True Essence. If there is no specific target locked by True Essence, the poisonous bees will randomly attack all living creatures in the vicinity except for the holder.]

"Area attack plus automatic attack... that's pretty good. This could be useful for saving the lives of a few characters with weaker direct combat abilities... or it could be given to Old Zheng, Qin Siyu, or Stiller, since it's 'automatic'."

"Although these people don't know how to use True Essence, their automatic attacks are sufficient."

Lin Yu muttered to himself, and casually put the [Soul-Devouring Poison Bee Gu Box] back away.

Before using it, he also needed to test the toxicity and speed of the bees inside the Gu box.

In short, this is a useful [Item] with a very high floor and potentially a very high ceiling.

Moreover... Lin Yu sensed that this thing might also have some wonderful uses in the Fang Techniques Yun Jushi's Legacy.

So even if it's used as the identity of "Director," although the enemies and battle scenes that "Director" face now are generally not low-level, it can probably still have many miraculous effects when combined with the Fang Techniques of the Prison Mountain Realm.

Then, Lin Yu looked at the second-to-last [Item].

[Heavenly Fox White Tail: After the newly appointed Six Desires Demon Lord was promoted to Demon Lord, he shed a portion of his demonic body to commemorate his blood relative who died shortly after they recognized each other. This portion contains surging blood and demonic essence. Wearing it allows one to utilize the power contained within the white tail and unleash some Fox Demon magic and the Six Desires Demon Lord's Innate Divine Ability.]

[Note: Uncle, your teachings are etched in my heart, Meng Qingjun I will never forget them for the rest of my life!]

Looking at the white fox tail [Item], Lin Yu couldn't hold back any longer.

Although Lin Yu guessed the moment he saw the name that this [Item] was most likely related to that unlucky fox, Meng Qingjun, but...

After actually seeing the contents description and notes of the [Item], Lin Yu still had mixed feelings.

He sighed and couldn't help but sigh.

"This Meng Qingjun... as a demon, isn't she a bit too simple-minded and naturally innocent..."

Is he really a vixen?

The Yaomo of the Prison Mountain Realm are known for their cunning and treachery. The stereotypical image of Fox Demon is that they are all cunning and treacherous, full of evil schemes and plots.

This was the first time Lin Yu had ever encountered Yaomo like Meng Qingjun who could be easily fooled and become crippled.

But...

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Yu also felt that it might not be Meng Qingjun's fault.

"Perhaps... my deception was too clever."

Moreover, from Meng Qingjun's perspective... he really didn't harm him at all!

Not only was the Desire Origin given away so easily, but now, based on the description in [The Heavenly Fox White Tail], Lin Yu can also know...

Meng Qingjun did indeed become Demon Lord Divine Rank and inherit the title of "Six Desires Demon Lord" by relying on that false "Desire Origin".

Therefore, as a beneficiary of the system, Meng Qingjun would never doubt that her uncle was a fake.

Moreover, even without these benefits, Lin Yu had genuinely demonstrated the aura and methods of Desire, showcasing the same "power of Desire" as Meng Qingjun's mother, the Previous Generation "Six Desires Demon Lord."

In particular, Lin Yu even managed to create a genuine Fox Demon form—only the fur color was slightly different.

Imagine a young entrepreneur living in a small town who suddenly meets an old man who claims to be his uncle. The old man not only has a similar accent to the young man's mother, but he is also very enthusiastic towards the young man and reveals many family secrets that the young man himself did not know.

Although the old man's hair and eye color were different from his mother's, they looked about 70-80% similar.

Then, after leaving the young man a large inheritance, the old man passed away on the spot.

Moreover, that inheritance enabled the young man's business to overcome difficulties and expand to a new level.

Could this young entrepreneur, who inherited a large sum of money, really doubt that his uncle was a fake?

Lin Yu asked himself honestly, even if he were in Meng Qingjun's position...

Although he might have some doubts than Meng Qingjun, as long as the benefits were real, he certainly wouldn't delve too deeply into the matter, even if he had some reservations.

After all, what does it matter if this uncle is fake, as long as he brings me real benefits?

Isn't this even closer than one's own maternal uncle?

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Yu silently put away the [Heavenly Fox White Tail].

"Very good, Meng Qingjun... or rather, the new Six Desires Demon Lord."

"I hope nothing bad happens to you, and don't get too fixated on Revenge."

"I'll look for you again next time I go to the Prison Mountain Realm."
