Su Luo returned to her residence, having completed what she needed to do, and would be able to enjoy some leisure time for a while.
Cases like Wei Changli should be left for Lin Xuan to handle.
If there was anything left undone, it was to open her diary and start writing.
【After the events at the Heavenly Demon Sect, Lin Xuan didn't stop his pursuit of strength, embarking on a new phase of growth.】
【This time, it was an out-of-sect mission, heading to a place called Crescent Moon City, all the while continuing to be mentored by Elder Flame.】
【As usual, no journey goes without incident. He got caught up in a robbery on the way and was mistakenly identified as the bodyguard of the daughter of the Crescent Moon City lord.】
【Along with others, he got captured and taken to a mountain stronghold.】
【While it’s called a stronghold, it's really a den for cultivators.】
【The one in charge of this stronghold is a man known as the Bandit King, a former bandit who, despite becoming a cultivator, didn't abandon his roots and continues to live as a bandit.】
【The Bandit King captured the daughter of the Crescent Moon City lord purely out of lust, but also plans to use her as leverage to demand a hefty ransom.】
【However, the ransom he gets isn’t for himself; instead, it’s an offering. He amasses a lot of cultivation resources here, offering them once a year, and Lin Xuan happened to arrive just before the next offering.】
【The puppet master behind this operation is none other than Wei Changli.】
【Wei Changli has his own forces, or rather, all the Heavenly Demon Seven Sons have their own factions, which help stabilize their positions.】
【Lin Xuan, getting entangled in this mess, initially only wanted to rescue the city lord's daughter and then head to Crescent Moon City to rally help to wipe this place out.】
【But once inside the stronghold, he quickly realized that many innocent people were held captive here, suffering all kinds of cruelties. The sight filled him with righteous fury.】
【At the same time, he came to understand a profound truth: bandits must always be eradicated, there’s just no other way!】
【Even though Lin Xuan was captured, it was only temporary. He always had a way out, and the greater the crisis, the more his potential seemed to explode.】
【First...】
【Then...】
In the end, the Bandit King met his demise unwillingly beneath Lin Xuan's fists. He could never have imagined that his vast stronghold, painstakingly built over years, could collapse so easily.
【It wasn’t just an army that brought it down, but a single man. He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!】
【While the Bandit King died unwillingly, many others rejoiced, especially those tortured in the stronghold, finally seeing the light of freedom.】
【Lin Xuan once again emerged as a hero.】
【In the world of the strong, the spoils naturally went to Lin Xuan.】
【He took only the most useful cultivation items for himself, the ones... and those...】
【The rest, he distributed among the captives, hoping they could leave their past behind and move forward.】
【Besides what Lin Xuan took, there were actually a few other valuable items, such as...】
【Naturally, news of this reached Wei Changli's ears. Hearing the tale, he grew furious, especially when he learned it was Lin Xuan from the Seven Stars Sword Sect, prompting him to curse in anger.】
【Failing to kill Lin Xuan at the Seven Stars Sword Sect, Wei Changli vowed to settle both old and new grudges when they next meet.】
【However, Wei Changli was currently preoccupied with other matters and could only file this away for now, planning to deal with Lin Xuan later.】
Su Luo closed her diary, anticipating her reward.
【Completed diary entry. Reward: Constitution +1, Strength +4.】
【Acquired special ability: Daily Snack.】
【Allows for the special summoning of a small snack each day, which has immense benefits for spiritual beasts, enhancing their cultivation and constitution. Consistently feeding them such snacks increases the chance of the spiritual beast gaining special abilities.】
Note: These are mere snacks, not meant for main meals. Ineffective on humans. A certain species particularly enjoys these snacks.
Su Luo reviewed the rewards, feeling as if they were given, yet not entirely satisfying.
This special ability...
It was clear it was a complement to the previous egg, also a product of the system.
While it mentioned a certain species, it was easy to guess it was referring to the egg. Both were system-produced.
However, the special ability came too late.
Even with this snack-summoning ability, Su Luo had no intention of raising it unless it emerged as a divine beast with incredible cultivation from birth.
But that was simply impossible.
...
At the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
Li Siyi suddenly broke off from her cultivation.
Little Yu was puzzled: "What’s wrong with you?"
Li Siyi simply revealed a proud smile, saying nothing, and turned away to read her newly updated diary.
Li Siyi knew Little Yu couldn't see it—previously placing it in front of her hadn't worked—so turning away was just her habit of reading the diary alone.
Little Yu didn't understand and continued her own cultivation.
Practicing near the Qingyue Pendant did make progress incredibly fast.
Li Siyi flipped through the pages quickly, just skimming.
Oh, that's it?
Why was it all about Lin Xuan? What about Su Luo?
The entire diary didn't mention what Su Luo was doing.
After all, this was Su Luo's diary.
Neither writing nor mentioning herself suggests she's doing well; after all, she’s repeated this timeline so many times, she should know how to take care of herself.
But still, without Su Luo writing about her everyday life, Li Siyi felt a bit disappointed.
After a long while, Li Siyi began to read the diary more carefully.
Upon finishing, she began to consider whether she should seize Lin Xuan's fortune this time.
There was a moment of guilt initially.
But thinking about how she was the weakest among them and if she didn't take action, she really wouldn't stand a chance.
"Little Yu, any interest in raiding some resources?"
Little Yu:?
"After success, we'll split it 60-40, I’ll take the larger share since I have the intel."
"First, let’s hear it."
Little Yu would make her own judgments.
Li Siyi wasn’t planning to bring Little Yu along for a direct assault on the stronghold.
Instead, she intended to sneak in during Lin Xuan’s raid on the stronghold, and quietly take the useful items.
However, Li Siyi didn't reveal that the person in question was Lin Xuan, especially since they were now sectmates, and the idea of stealing his fortune seemed rather distasteful.
Little Yu felt the same way.
"Isn't that kind of bad? Shouldn't we be helping that person dismantle the stronghold?"
"No, our current strength is still lacking; we might just be getting in the way."
"We should at least contribute what we can."
"He can handle it, trust me."
"But..." Little Yu still had her doubts, not understanding where Li Siyi’s confidence came from.
"Trust me, or I won’t take you along."
"Then go on your own."
Little Yu felt she couldn't do such a thing.
"Fine, I’ll go alone. Once I’m back, my cultivation will skyrocket again, and you’ll regret it."
"I won’t regret it."
"Hmpf."
Li Siyi had once been proud, always relying on herself to seize opportunities, so she had no moral qualms back then.
But this time, the situation was different; Lin Xuan was risking his life, while she was stealing his hard-earned rewards.
Even thinking about it felt shameful.
But currently, one after another was surpassing her.
She no longer had the qualifications to be proud.
At most, she wouldn’t take what Lin Xuan intended to take; she’d just take the few items Su Luo considered valuable...
With that thought, Li Siyi began preparing to set out.
Little Yu called out to her.
"Your Qingyue Pendant."
"Leave it with you for now; I probably won’t have time to cultivate on the journey."
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
