Yi Ren opened the door and came out with a plate of fairy fruits, smiling. Next to the fairy fruits was a jade slip. He pretended to have just noticed the two fairies and said with a smile, "Oh, it's so lively. It seems that the little fairy next door is very popular."
The two female immortals immediately forgot their purpose upon seeing Yi Ren.
When Yi Ren saw Zhong Lingxin standing at the door, he smiled and raised the fruit platter in his hand, saying, "Would you mind inviting us in for some tea?"
The two fairies nodded vigorously.
Their original goal was Yi Ren. Now, as long as they can talk to Yi Ren, it doesn't matter whether they switch rooms with Zhong Lingxin or not.
Two more fairies came upon hearing the sound.
Zhong Lingxin suddenly felt that her room was comparable to a vegetable market.
She activated the defensive array and smiled, gesturing for visitors: "I was unaware of your arrival, fellow Daoists. Please, please, please come in."
The fairies and Yi Ren pretended not to notice Zhong Lingxin's refusal and slowly walked into Zhong Lingxin's living room.
Before Zhong Lingxin could set out the tea set, the fairies busied themselves offering Yiren the celestial fruits and wines they had brought, inviting him to taste them.
Yi Ren usually dealt with more than a dozen wives at home, so he accepted the enthusiasm of the female immortals without reservation and praised them one by one.
Overjoyed, the female immortals immediately forgot that they were all rivals in love and began to fawn over Yi Ren even more enthusiastically.
Zhong Lingxin slowly boiled the water and arranged the tea set, thinking to herself that this was a good idea.
Although he didn't manage to earn any immortal stones, with these enthusiastic fairies around, Yi Ren couldn't keep bothering him.
But she soon realized she was wrong.
The enthusiastic fairies used her room as a springboard and visited every day.
Yi Ren was also dragged to Zhong Lingxin's room every day by this group of enthusiastic female immortals to eat, drink, and chat about cultivation and the Four Arts.
Yi Ren was not very satisfied with the situation; he desperately needed an opportunity to be alone with Zhong Lingxin.
Zhong Lingxin was extremely satisfied with this situation. All she had to do was boil water and make tea every day, act as an observer, and occasionally say a few words.
Yi Ren repeatedly steered the conversation toward Zhong Lingxin, wanting to learn more about her.
The fairies were also very curious about Zhong Lingxin.
How come a fairy at the Great Luo Golden Immortal stage, who can spend millions of immortal stones to stay in a luxurious room, has no family members accompanying her?
You should know that the Immortal Realm is far from peaceful!
Zhong Lingxin had already prepared her explanation.
She knew that the immortals each had their own magical treasures, so she didn't dare to impersonate a male immortal from the beginning, for fear of being exposed.
She still used makeup to make her face look a little older, and applied a layer of dry powder to her skin, making it appear slightly rough and a little dark and yellow.
After the makeup was done, she looked more than ten years older and five or six points uglier than she actually was.
When asked about coming to the Middle Realm alone, Zhong Lingxin simply smiled and said three words: "To find someone."
As for who she was looking for, she wouldn't say a word, and would shake her head if asked too many questions.
The conversation naturally revolved around Yi Ren.
When Yi Ren heard Zhong Lingxin say that she was looking for someone, he felt a pang of jealousy for no reason.
Although he only wanted Zhong Lingxin's (at this time, she was using the alias Lu Xin) good fortune, the fairy he had chosen had to be devoted to him wholeheartedly and could not have any other man's shadow.
Upon hearing Zhong Lingxin's words "coming to find someone," the fairies each imagined a great deal.
They looked at Zhong Lingxin's appearance and compared it to their own, quickly eliminating Zhong Lingxin from the list of potential rivals and treating her with more sincerity.
Zhong Lingxin chuckled inwardly and continued to diligently brew tea.
After a brief moment of jealousy, Yi Ren quickly cheered up.
Seeing that Zhong Lingxin traveled a million miles alone to find someone, it's likely that the person she's looking for is already dead. Even if they aren't, they've probably forgotten her.
What an unlucky guy, he actually threw away the Nine-Tails Purple Jewel, what a bargain for him.
At this point, there was still one thing he didn't understand.
Judging from Zhong Lingxin's expression, she seems unaware that she possesses nine purple streaks. Who concealed this for her? Why were they keeping it from her?
Yi Ren continued to probe Zhong Lingxin: "Fairy Lu, are your family members at ease knowing you're out looking for someone all by yourself?"
Zhong Lingxin lowered her eyelids: "Oh, I just suddenly decided to come and find someone. My family just thought I was training nearby."
Yi Ren nodded.
He got it.
Zhong Lingxin ran away secretly.
He then probed, "You little rascal, you're really disobedient. You should at least leave a message for your family so they don't worry about you."
Zhong Lingxin looked up, thought for a moment, and said, "I forgot!"
This is clearly because she doesn't want her family to know that she has come to the Middle Realm.
Yi Ren stopped asking; he knew he wouldn't get any more information and might only upset Zhong Lingxin.
Since Zhong Lingxin was looking for someone, he would pretend to casually walk the same way as her.
If Zhong Lingxin had sought out a male immortal, with his abilities, he could have killed that immortal without anyone noticing.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if this male immortal had already died or found another partner.
He took advantage of the situation under the guise of offering comfort.
Yi Ren got too lazy to deal with the fairies.
He took out the jade slips containing the Four Arts, and under the guise of instructing several fairies in learning the Four Arts, he began to slack off.
Although the fairies wanted to pester Yi Ren, they certainly wouldn't let go of the opportunity to learn the four arts.
Especially Zhong Lingxin.
When Yi Ren began teaching the Four Arts, Zhong Lingxin couldn't help but admire his superb skills and profound knowledge.
While on the Immortal Spirit Continent, Zhong Lingxin first studied under the peak master of the Spirit Pill Peak of the Qingyun Sect for a while, and then under the president of the Alchemist Association for a while. Since she was not formally apprenticed, she had to figure out many techniques on her own.
Although Zhong Chun also knew alchemy and taught her a lot.
However, Zhong Chun's main profession was weapon crafting, so he wasn't as skilled in alchemy.
Yi Ren may have impure thoughts about Zhong Lingxin, but his cultivation and mastery of the four arts are extremely high.
Under Yi Ren's careful guidance, Zhong Lingxin's skills in alchemy improved rapidly.
In particular, Yi Ren required Zhong Lingxin to practice hand seals anytime, anywhere, whenever she had a spare moment. Only by performing the hand seals quickly could she execute various delicate techniques perfectly, thus ensuring the formation of a flawless elixir.
Zhong Lingxin strongly agrees with this point.
In the past, she truly relied on her exceptional talent and a ninth-grade alchemy furnace to refine perfect pills.
Now, she has the jade slip given to her by Yi Ren, which contains Yi Ren's alchemy notes. She has paid attention to many small details that she had not noticed before.
She not only perfected the elixir, but also improved the success rate of its formation.
She could produce two to three perfect fifth-grade pills in a single batch using a fifth-grade alchemy furnace. She believed that if she used the Qiankun Purple Gold Cauldron, the success rate would definitely double.
Unfortunately, she dared not take out the Qiankun Purple Gold Cauldron under Yi Ren's watchful eye.
