I Have A Dual World Seal

While the researchers were suspicious and looking around, feeling as if an invisible Iron Blood Warrior was standing next to them, Lu Zheng, the "alien," had already returned to Hua Country with Si Lingxi and Shen Ying.

Before returning to Great Jing, Shen Ying uploaded her transformation video shot in Antarctica to the internet, and the eagerly awaiting netizens flocked to it once again.

"Fairy!"

Just having traveled back to Peach Blossom Plain, Tao Qing came forward, "The Peach Blossom Temple in Guoyue County, Hezhou, Zhongyang Dao, was disturbed by an Evil God, Tao Zhen took eight sisters to support it."

"Oh?" Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed, "What’s the situation?"

As her cultivation grew higher and the incense and candle Qi more abundant, even if local Peach Blossom Temples were only using peach branches to borrow power from ancient peach trees, they could solve most problems.

More so, with the occasional patrols of the Eighteen Peach Blossom Celestial Maidens, the local demons and ghosts knew not to provoke the Peach Blossom Temple, putting it even above various neglected Mountain God and Earth God Temples.

So, since the initial action of recovering various Peach Blossom Temples, even as the temples gradually expanded, it had been a long time since a situation occurred needing the support of the Eighteen Celestial Maidens.

"There is a deep mountain village in Guoyue County, where the Evil God has been worshiped sacrilegiously through sacrificial ceremonies. It seems the other party has gained some opportunity, vastly improving their cultivation, hence attacking Peach Blossom Temple, wanting to seize its incense, which the temple priest cannot withstand," Tao Qing explained.

The temple priest obviously had activated the power of peach branches, but this power can only defend and is difficult to attack. If the opponent’s strength is not weak and cannot be resolved in one go, Peach Blossom Temple will face endless troubles.

However, with nine Celestial Maidens arriving, the situation changes.

Purely in terms of combat strength, during her life, Tao Zhen was quite an impressive Martial Artist; after death, her baptism in Peach Blossom incense placed her in the highest echelon among the Eighteen Celestial Maidens.

Now, with eight sisters together, each carrying a Jade Peach Blossom, forming a nine-person array, typical Evil Gods, sacrilegious demons, and ghosts would not be their match.

...

The fact did not surprise Shen Ying; indeed, the celestial maidens returned safely three days later.

However, they did not return triumphantly after defeating the Evil God but were trapped and rescued back.

With them came some familiar faces.

"Brother Lu! Sister Liu! Sister Shen! Sister Si!"

Li Lingyu bounced over to Lu Zheng’s side, released and withdrawn his aura with a smug expression.

"Good job!"

Lu Zheng hugged Li Lingyu, rubbing his small head, "Impressive! Are you planning to ascend before your mentor?"

After more than a year unseeing each other, Li Lingyu’s cultivation progressed rapidly, even surpassing Lu Zheng in speed, and his deep Dao practice made Master Lin Yi struggle to accept him as a disciple.

Li Lingyu humbly smiled, "That is still far off."

Although he said so, Li Lingyu was evidently proud, and Tao Zhen and the other Celestial Maidens evidenced Li Lingyu’s strength.

"That Evil God was a black spider in Guoyue Mountain, setting up a Silk Array behind a Mountain God Temple, trapping us."

"Master Lin Yi did not take action; Young Master Li single-handedly challenged that Evil God, stabbing him through."

"Young Master Li’s body full of Pure Yang True Qi, the Evil God was of demon and ghost category, evil Qi could not approach, dispersed by Pure Yang Qi, then blown into ashes and powder by Pure Yang Divine Thunder."

Lu Zheng blinked, meaningfully said, "Just one person, one spear?"

Master Lin Yi shook his head, "This kid is obsessed with Close Combat Spear Technique rather than Pure Yang Sword Technique, so I crafted for him a..."

"Pure Yang True Fire Divine Refining Spear!" Li Lingyu drew a long spear from the golden bracelet on his wrist, spinning it, sparks of Pure Yang Star Fire sparkled on the tip.

Lu Zheng raised his thumb, "Beautiful!"

Everyone was impressed, except the Ginseng Doll and Zhi Ma hid behind the old peach tree, afraid to show their heads.

"So pretty!" Yang Caiyi’s eyes gleamed brightly.

At this moment, Master Lin Yi and Li Lingyu also noticed the little girl.

Seeing Yang Caiyi’s hopeful eyes, Li Lingyu realized her Dao practice status and handed her the Divine Refining Spear, "Take a look!"

Yang Caiyi looked at Si Lingxi, and seeing Si Lingxi nod, she took the long spear, thanking, "Thank you, Young Master Li."

Master Lin Yi’s eyes lit up, glancing at Lu Zheng, then Si Lingxi, "This little girl practices Daoist Technique as well; Miss Si is also from the Daoist Sect."

Yang Caiyi was clearly Si Lingxi’s junior; Master Lin Yi had previously seen her once at Zhongjing Fahua Temple but hadn’t known Si Lingxi’s identity as Lu Zheng didn’t introduce her.

Unexpectedly, she’s from the Dao practice lineage, just the cultivation technique...

Master Lin Yi shook his head, saying, "Forgive my ignorance, but I couldn’t tell the girl’s origin."

Si Lingxi smiled slightly, shaking her head, said, "I’m not from the Daoist Sect, but I do know several Daoist Techniques."

Lu Zheng scratched his head and formally introduced Si Lingxi to Master Lin Yi.

Master Lin Yi: ╭(°A°`)╮

If not for his own disciple being capable, Master Lin Yi would have thought of leaving.

Elsewhere, Li Lingyu and Yang Caiyi, similar in age, quickly became familiar with each other.

Li Lingyu showed her his Divine Refining Spear, Qiankun Ring, Pure Yang Sword, and Great Sun Muni Pearl.

Yang Caiyi displayed the Thousand Silk Net, Spirit Bottle, Three-Core Divine Fire Lamp Si Lingxi gifted her.

Though Yang Caiyi’s cultivation was far inferior to Li Lingyu’s, in understanding cultivation techniques and applying magical treasures, Si Lingxi guided her, placing her above Li Lingyu.

Master Lin Yi listened, feeling helpless.

Joking aside, though Phoenix Mountain might not directly challenge Chunyang Palace, Si Lingxi could easily challenge him, so thinking this way, his disciple befriending Si Lingxi’s protégé was to his advantage.

"Any news of Elder Liu?" Lu Zheng asked in a spare moment.

"Master Liu is well." Master Lin Yi nodded, "However, he seldom stays long in the sect, last seen during our return to Sea Heaven Dao Weizhou last year."

Lu Zheng glanced at the Great Sun Muni Pearl in Li Lingyu’s hand, "Seems Zen Master Jin Ye of Rizhao Temple is quite the giver!"

Master Lin Yi snorted, shaking his head, said, "If the Monk Jin Ye isn’t generous, I’ll have Lingyu ignore Rizhao Temple in the future."

Though Li Lingyu was a disciple of Chunyang Palace, he was also a registered secular disciple of Rizhao Temple’s Zen Master Jin Ye, practicing Buddhist and Daoist Dual Cultivation, and with his profound cultivation...

Among the younger generation, few could best him.
