What Was There to Regret?

Why do we take things that are not obtained in accordance with their proper way?

Upon hearing this, the pangolin paused for a moment, then immediately realized what it had done.

Is the other party reminding me that it's using some underhanded methods, secretly cultivating through the Dao of Incense?

If the other party knows this, why doesn't they intend to attack me now?

The pangolin's thoughts flashed through its mind in an instant, hundreds of different ideas.

But it didn't know why.

Right now, all it feels is utter panic.

It was terrified that these Daoist practitioners might kill it at the slightest provocation.

Having pondered this, it didn't dare utter a sound and quickly turned and left.

The pangolin hurriedly took a few steps, and after leaving the cultivator's field of vision, it quickly disappeared into the ground.

Once he could no longer feel the gazes of these cultivators, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he thought he had escaped with his life, his mind involuntarily drifted to the words the other party had just spoken to him, and the other cultivators.

The strange look in his eyes when he left.

That look in his eyes seemed to express regret for something.

That's strange, what exactly is the other person regretting?

Moreover, for some reason, after it left, I suddenly felt an emptiness in my heart.

It was as if I had missed something.

"Fellow Daoist, judging from this, the pangolin didn't understand what you meant."

Seeing the pangolin turn and leave without looking back, Yunzi shook her head and said something.

Fellow Daoist Fang was practically giving me explicit guidance.

This tells the other party that what it had done was undoubtedly theft.

If a mistake has been made, it is necessary to make amends.

If the other party can understand this and stay to restore the water veins of this place, they will be able to establish themselves here in the future.

Unfortunately, the other party ultimately failed to overcome this hurdle.

Judging from their expressions, they were already preparing to leave the village.

"Fang saw that the other party had done quite a few good deeds, and even if he had ulterior motives, it was all reasonable. He also thought he could offer some guidance."

"Unfortunately, the other party failed to see through us; in that case, it's no wonder we were indifferent."

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin couldn't help but sigh.

He had managed to get this over with; the other person's temperament and choices would determine their future path of cultivation.

Furthermore, if he continued speaking, he would be revealing a secret.

Revealing heavenly secrets can lead to anything from sudden death to a significant reduction in one's spiritual cultivation and lifespan.

"The fact that this pangolin has received such guidance from you, fellow Daoist, is already a testament to the great Yin Merit it has accumulated. If it were any other demon in its current predicament, it might not even be able to meet us here."

Yunzi, at this moment, saw things very clearly.

In her view, since the pangolin was leaving this place, it just so happened that it would happen to pass by here on its way out.

Upon closer examination, this constitutes two meetings between the two parties.

Those who cultivate themselves are all people with abundant blessings. If the other party is able to meet them twice, it is no exaggeration to say that they have accumulated a lot of Yin Merit.

Then Fang Zelin offered some guidance.

Judging from this incident, the other party has indeed accumulated a lot of Yin Merit.

Unfortunately, Yin Merit they had accumulated couldn't help the other party at all.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Since we can't even see through one layer of that pangolin, it seems it won't survive this ordeal. Fellow Daoist, we'll have to trouble other fellow Daoists to come here later and rectify the water veins here."

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist, I have noted this down."

Yunzi readily agreed, saying it was just a matter of altering the water veins, and he would have other fellow Daoists come over later.

As the two finished their conversation, the other disciples, seeing the pangolin leave, couldn't help but feel sleepy.

Upon seeing this, they all began to sit cross-legged and cultivate.

In just a short while, all the disciples had begun their cultivation.

The next day.

The sun slowly rose from between the mountains, shining its light upon the surrounding peaks.

All the cultivators had finished their cultivation and, after tidying up, got up and left.

After all the cultivators had left, the last cultivator from Rising Tide Valley used Law Technique to clean up the place where they had been.

After erasing the last trace, the place was as if no one had ever been there, leaving no trace whatsoever.

"A little further ahead should be the territory of a demon king called the Mountain Horn Demon King. This demon king should be in his own territory, but I've heard that in the other party's territory, there is a strange flower that can help him with his cultivation."

"Therefore, no one has ever seen this Mountain Horn Demon King leave this place; he has always been cultivating while guarding this wondrous flower."

Fang Zelin and his group arrived at the territory of the Mountain Horn Demon King in no time.

Yunzi, who was standing to the side, introduced Fang Zelin to some information about the Demon King.

Upon hearing this, Fang Zelin raised an eyebrow. "A rare flower? Do you know exactly what kind of flower it is?"

He wasn't really after the flower; he was just a little curious.

"Unbeknownst to them, the Mountain Horn Demon King usually kept this item very secret and never revealed it to others."

"However, this flower is indeed quite extraordinary. The Mountain Horn Demon King has cultivated to such an extent that his cultivation is unfathomable."

Yunzi recounted all the information she knew.

Fang Zelin nodded in agreement. He didn't really need to know; it was fine if he didn't know.

"Judging from this, the fairy must be inside. Perhaps we can get some information from her?"

"That is, the fairy hasn't joined the other side."

Yunzi nodded and then gave the orders.

Some of the disciples were told to stay behind, while the others, along with Fang Zelin, went inside to question the demon.

"What's this?"

At that moment, nearly a hundred miles away from Fang Zelin and the others, the pangolin's expression shifted slightly.

He reached out and grabbed a medicinal herb in front of him.

It looked at the herb in front of it; it seemed to be quite old. If it were even older, it could be kept.

Later, when I move to a different place and meet other mortals, I might find it useful, saving me from having to use Law Technique.

But when the pangolin reached out and pulled up the herb, a foul stench wafted out with it.

Upon seeing what was under the herbs, the pangolin's face immediately darkened.

Who did this? Burying something like this under this half-cut herb?

Upon seeing this, the pangolin felt extremely annoyed, spat, and turned to leave.

After a few places, you can leave this area.

Its idea was that if it went further away, it wouldn't be easily recognized later.
