Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest

Chapter 732: Chapter 16 Traditional Performing Arts_3 Chapter 732: Chapter 16 Traditional Performing Arts_3 “Buddhist Sect’s Mysterious Realm, encountering such events is also quite normal,” Yan Yu answered, “From the previous test, those who can pass these levels are basically considered by the Buddhist Sect as ‘perceptive’ and ‘intelligent,’ which highly coincides with the Buddhist Sect’s requirements for recruiting disciples. So, these treasures are basically telling you, ‘Do you want these treasures? Come and follow the Buddhist Sect’s cultivation!'”
“Converting people with treasures, right?” Chen Lingyun smirked, “Ah, that’s pretty much useless for us. To cultivate Buddhist teachings just for these things, it doesn’t seem quite worthwhile.”

“But for the ordinary Military Mansion Cultivators who don’t have good resources at hand, it would definitely be more cost-effective to learn Buddhism in exchange for treasures,” Tang Xiaolian pondered, “After all, Lu Country now doesn’t have few high-grade resources, but it’s severely insufficient when distributed per capita.”

“That’s the idea,” Yan Yu nodded, “Flying Sword, Magic Treasures, summoning items… At our level, we use the best that the country can provide. If it’s just the second or third best, then there’s no specific value in keeping them. But never mind, I came here mainly to make sure you two were alright. If it weren’t for you two getting stuck in here, this Mysterious Realm wouldn’t be worth my effort in conquering it.”

“Then we have to thank you,” Chen Lingyun said with a smile, suddenly asking telepathically, “So, you didn’t take anything from here?”

“I took a bottle of Elixir Medicine,” Yan Yu replied.

“What Elixir Medicine?” Chen Lingyun asked.

“One that supplements physical deficiencies.”

“Oh, for enhancing vigor.”

“Can’t your mind contain less indecent trash?” Yan Yu rebuked mercilessly, “Just hearing of physical deficiency and you think in that direction? Couldn’t it be used to save someone? Like Li Minghu, doesn’t he have the chronic ailment of imbalance of the Five Elements in his body? Couldn’t it sell favor to the Annan Army?”

“Not contradictory at all,” Chen Lingyun grinned, “This Elixir Medicine can save people and also enhance vigor. She surely won’t need to consume an entire bottle, right? I suggest you keep a few just in case, who knows if you’ll need it yourself someday?”

Yan Yu: ……

Damn, I was indeed planning to keep some for myself, and she guessed it all.

Of course, Yan Yu would never admit to it aloud, casually saying:
“If Li Minghu needs this entire bottle of Elixir Medicine for her treatment, then why not give it all to her?”

“Then if she doesn’t need the whole bottle, you’re planning to keep it for yourself,” Chen Lingyun immediately caught the loophole in his words and pressed on.

“What do I keep it for?” Yan Yu retorted, “To deal with you? You don’t qualify.”

“I might not qualify,” Chen Lingyun smiled slightly, “but what if we add Sister Zhao, Ruoxi, Ningning, Yun Jin…”

“That’s enough, shut up!” Yan Yu telepathically interrupted her, “Bringing up trivial suspicions, dare to spread rumors and gossip, I think you really need training!”

The two looked at each other but didn’t speak, clearly chatting telepathically. Tang Xiaolian checked the Magic Treasure while secretly watching them from the corner of her eye. Suddenly, she couldn’t help but send a telepathic message to Yan Yu:
“Yan Yu.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m sorry, for that last challenge, I held you back.”

“No worries, that was the misleading effect of Joyful Sound, I won’t take it to heart.”

“Also… it wasn’t entirely that…”

“Ah?” Yan Yu was startled.

“Anyway, let’s sort things accordingly,” Tang Xiaolian pretended to look down and check the Magic Treasure, continuing the telepathic conversation, “You also said, if it wasn’t because Chen Lingyun and I got trapped here, you wouldn’t have come over.”

“Right, you mean you owe me a favor,” Yan Yu caught her meaning and quickly offered a way out.

“Sort of,” Tang Xiaolian willingly took the hint, laughing, “After the Mysterious Realm is handed over, don’t rush off.”

“I’ll treat you to a meal.”
