The fairies I flirted with in the game became real?!

The news of Elder Ge's puppet crane malfunction spread throughout the Sect like wildfire.

Initially, almost no one knew about this incident, but when those dozens of puppet cranes fell, they were coincidentally discovered by a disciple of Elder Pei from the Potion Refining Hall.

Elder Pei Lianshan of the Potion Refining Hall had old grievances with Elder Ge Hongshan of the Artifact Refining Hall.

Elder Ge Hongshan had specialized in talismans and artifact refining, claiming himself as the number one Artifact Refining Master on the Demon Path. The Magic Artifacts he personally refined were all exceptionally powerful, far surpassing other artifact refiners—something he took great pride in.

However, now the corpse cranes refined by Ge Hongshan were eerily damaged, mysteriously malfunctioning. When Elder Pei heard of this, he had his disciples spread the word everywhere, mocking Elder Ge for his poor craftsmanship and for producing inferior puppets.

It was a minor incident—after all, which artifact refiner could guarantee they would never make a mistake?

However, it didn't help that Elder Pei's group of disciples were stirring things up everywhere, covertly and overtly mocking and ridiculing Elder Ge.

Elder Ge Hongshan was infuriated when he heard the news.

Both elders already had old grievances, and now this minor incident suddenly triggered a conflict between the two.

Elder Ge's direct disciples clashed openly and secretly in magical duels with Elder Pei's direct disciples several times. The worst of these skirmishes left four direct disciples critically injured and killed thirteen Inner Sect disciples in white robes.

Following this development, other elders of the Demon Sect intervened to mediate, and only then was the issue barely glossed over.

This had become the hottest issue in the Refinement Demon Sect recently, nearly spreading through the entire Sect, and even those Outer Sect disciples down the mountain had heard about it.

Li Muyang, serving in the Enforcement Hall, became increasingly suspicious when he heard this news.

After conducting a few secret experiments, he discovered that Elder Ge's group of corpse cranes were actually powered by some kind of illusion technique, which happened to be countered by the Eye of Spiritual Sight.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"This 'Eye of Spiritual Sight' is more fierce than expected."

The so-called seeing through illusions, actually meant literally "breaking" the illusions?

He had thought it was a kind of ability like the fiery golden eyes that could discern the nature of illusions.

Realizing he was the principal culprit, Li Muyang immediately became very cautious, fearing that Ge Hongshan might discover his role and come looking for trouble.

Li Muyang had even planned out his escape routes.

Luckily, Ge Hongshan never found out who the principal culprit was and was busy contending with his old foe, Elder Pei.

As the event finally settled down, Li Muyang too breathed a sigh of relief.

Life as an Inner Sect disciple in the Refinement Demon Sect was much more relaxing than in the Outer Sect.

As disciples of the Enforcement Hall, their main duty, Li Muyang and others, was patrolling.

In teams of five, they flew the Flying Boat over various floating islands and the twelve dwelling areas near the Outer Sect, guarding against spies sneaking in.

Every month, they rotated to Yunxiao City for a change of guard and patrolled the city.

When not on patrol, they were free to move as they wished.

Even if they were on patrol, they didn't need to serve every day—once every three days was sufficient.

Li Muyang and his group of Inner Sect disciples could even freely take the Flying Boat to play in Yunxiao City.

With great power, excellent benefits, and without strict restrictions.

Compared to the almost confined Outer Sect disciples, the Inner Sect disciples in white robes were truly a cut above.

However, Li Muyang had little interest in entertainment. Apart from occasionally socializing with colleagues over drinks, he virtually confined himself to his bamboo house, blissfully playing games.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was diligently cultivating.

This monotonous life of not leaving his house indeed was daunting to other Inner Sect disciples.

But Li Muyang enjoyed it immensely.

After all, in his previous life, he was not fond of socializing. With a computer game, he could stay indoors for days.

Now, spending his days in the bamboo house playing games, with meals even delivered by his loving younger sister, was indeed the ideal otaku lifestyle of his dreams.

After clearing the third phase of "Deadly Little Wild Grass", he had now started on the fourth phase of development.

However, the fourth stage of development was somewhat dry and tedious.

Like the second phase, the fourth stage was primarily everyday interactions.

There were no crises, nor were there conflicts.

In the game, Li Muyang took Little Wild Grass, leaving the vast mountains and distancing themselves from Black Cloud Fort.

During the day, the two walked and played in the mountains, experiencing the many beautiful sights and local snacks along the way, and at night they would sleep in the wilderness, practicing under the moonlight.

After Little Wild Grass embarked on the path of cultivation, her aura became increasingly rich and mellow.

At first, the faint presence of demonic Qi was visible, and she diligently practiced the Ghostly Demon Technique.

However, upon realizing that Li Muyang disliked her gloomy appearance, the girl agonized over it for several days and then quietly changed her training method herself.

By the time Li Muyang noticed, the girl had already shed her demonic Qi and nurtured a faint aura of ethereal immortality.

Transitioning from demon to path, she shed the demonic form and condensed her spirit into immortality.

This action of Little Wild Grass truly shocked Li Muyang.

—Could this girl have really changed the Ghostly Demon Technique herself?

And succeeded?

Holy crap!

Is there no law, no natural justice left?

You, a wild fox Zen without any sect inheritance or master's teaching, changed a top-notch demon technique just by randomly thinking and practicing?

Li Muyang was greatly surprised and very curious, asking Little Wild Grass about her modified cultivation method.

However, after Little Wild Grass babbled on in her response, Li Muyang was completely baffled.

He didn't understand at all.

The cultivation method modified by the girl was so abstruse and profound that it would give a headache to anyone who heard it, indiscernible to anyone but Little Wild Grass herself.

Perhaps this was the stature of an immortal, inventing cultivation methods on a whim...

Li Muyang sighed and no longer concerned himself with Little Wild Grass's cultivation.

By this time, Little Wild Grass was in the Core Formation Realm, surpassing Li Muyang in cultivation, insight, and talent, having thoroughly outclassed him.

Though it was Li Muyang who had introduced her to the path of cultivation, now facing the clever Little Wild Grass, he felt like an old father with only elementary education, watching his daughter who had been accepted into a prestigious university, not understanding even the topics she talked about.

In the path of cultivation, Li Muyang was no longer able to help Little Wild Grass.

The only thing he could do was accompany Little Wild Grass as they traversed the land of this mythical era, witnessing the landscape and experiencing the local customs of this age.

Upon encountering steep and beautiful mountains, the two would climb on foot.

Facing curious rivers and waterways, they would float on a boat.

They watched the dawn unfold and admired the sunset like blood.

Drinking in the lunar essence, gazing at the rising mist after rain.

They measured this land on foot like ordinary mortals, walking step by step among mountains, waters, and towns.

They would listen to storytellers sing outside taverns, watch the dynastic changes from city towers, taste fine wines in street-side markets, and even laugh as they turned tables in gambling houses.

Passing through villages troubled by demons, Little Wild Grass would exorcise them.

Upon seeing heartbreakers causing harm, Li Muyang would release vengeful spirits to exact retribution.

The pair continued on their journey, leaving footprints throughout the lands they had traversed.

In such a carefree and meaningful way, ten years passed, and they journeyed through the world of mortals, ultimately arriving at an ordinary little town.

This place was Little Wild Grass's true hometown, the land where her forebears had lived for generations.
