Chapter 328: Ride You? What a Joke!

“Ruo’er, bring out the spirit tool hidden in your spirit pouch.”

“Oh, okay~”

Ruo’er took out a small spirit pouch, which quickly transformed into a large bundle, filled with her belongings.

She opened the pouch and retrieved a bundle from inside.

This was something she had put in her spirit pouch to prevent Lin Fei’s search back at the Lin family.

Of course, Ruo’er had no idea what was in it at the time; she just followed instructions.

The Mist Spirit Bracelet from the Lin family was now in her possession—at least it was a treasure, so this trip to the Lin family wasn’t a total loss.

“Ruo’er, I’ve received a message from Zifeng Valley. Dong Xiyan is coming to pick you up, so get ready to leave as soon as she arrives.”

“Then, young master, will you be going to Zifeng Valley with me?”

Ruo’er puffed her cheeks, feeling very reluctant.

“I can’t always follow you; I have my own matters to attend to. Cultivation is ultimately up to you. I’ll come visit when I have time.”

Lin Nuo said seriously,

“But you must remember, your allegiance is always with me, no matter how your cultivation progresses.”

“Yes, yes, Ruo’er will always belong to the young master. I’ll be with you for life~”

Ruo’er said sweetly, and even without that contract, she was more than willing to follow Lin Nuo. In the end, they would become immortals together, a couple of celestial beings envied by others.

“Alright, that’s enough. Just go do your thing; I need to rest.”

Ruo’er nodded obediently and skipped out of Lin Nuo’s room.

Lin Nuo opened the bundle and took out the previously hidden spirit tools and mysterious artifacts. The most important was still that Mist Spirit Bracelet.

It emanated a faint spiritual glow, hiding exquisite energy within.

This treasured item from the Lin family could serve another purpose, but given Lin Nuo’s current level of cultivation, he probably wouldn’t be able to utilize it yet, so he’d prepare for the future.

There were also some soul fragments inside, including those of a Heavenly-level spiritual beast, which were quite valuable.

However, he had no intention of selling them; he planned to gather a pile of soul fragments to enhance his weapons.

Speaking of which, that weapon was the Demon Sword he used in his previous life, the Crimson Shadow.

But when it came to crafting this Demon Sword, Lin Nuo really didn’t have a clue.

After all, Crimson Shadow was made by an unknown craftsman, who was elusive to say the least. He came and went in a flash, taking nothing with him.

Lin Nuo had no idea where he came from; one day he just happened to meet this craftsman when he needed a sword, and so the craftsman made Crimson Shadow, an exceptional Demon Sword, one he wielded with incredible ease in battles across the realm.

But Lin Nuo didn’t know the craftsman’s name, nor did he pay him; the craftsman simply delivered Crimson Shadow to his residence and then vanished without a trace.

Lin Nuo never saw him again and had no clue whether he died or went into hiding. In any case, the craftsman was but a fleeting visitor in his life.

That was Lin Nuo’s worry.

After all, the appearance of Crimson Shadow was merely coincidental, and coincidences like that are not easily recreated in another life.

The history had already changed, and the trajectory of events was no longer the same as before.

Lin Nuo could only try his luck, hoping to encounter the craftsman at the right time and place, although he felt little confidence in that.

This was also a concern he had to bear in mind. He had already prepared for the worst; if he couldn’t find the craftsman, he couldn’t retrieve Crimson Shadow.

Thus, he needed to forge a new Demon Blade.

However, to craft a top-tier Demon Sword, he would need superior materials—not something that could be obtained just by talking.

Where could he find the suitable materials for forging a Demon Sword? Definitely not at Tianling Mountain, nor at Zifeng Valley or any mountaintop.

As for the Refining Demon Sect, they had plenty of sword-forging materials.

Yet, seeking high-level sword-forging materials from the Refining Demon Sect would be incredibly difficult. First of all, his current physique wasn’t suited for the environment there. A cultivator who spent all day in the Demon Qi-infused atmosphere would suffer greatly.

He needed tools to resist the Demon Qi.

While such tools could be found in the Black Market, their effectiveness was far from perfect, and even those who might sell high-grade anti-Demon Qi items had met nasty ends thanks to the Refining Demon Sect.

Merchants in the Black Market posing threats to the existence of the Refining Demon Sect never ended well.

“Forget it, whatever. Time to sleep.”

Lin Nuo tossed the spirit and mysterious artifacts aside, stretched lazily, and lay down on his bed.

Nothing beats lying down on your own bed.

“Oh, right.”

Lin Nuo immediately got up and locked his door with several locks.

“Perfect.”

Then he went back to sleep, and slept through the entire afternoon.

The other disciples were diligently training, but he lay there snoozing away.

No one berated him, of course.

After all, even if they trained hard, they were nowhere near the level of achievement Lin Nuo had.

Naturally, those achievements were not something he particularly wished to witness.

Sometimes he felt that not being scolded for sleeping in made being a hero quite nice.

Perhaps this is what they mean by privilege.

…

After waking up, Lin Nuo was summoned by Master Zhao, who said there was important business to discuss.

When the disciples of Xuanyun Sect heard the Master had summoned them for an important matter, they hurried over, fearing any delays.

Lin Nuo, however, was different.

He decided to sleep for another hour.

After waking up an hour later, he grabbed a quick dinner before heading to see Master Zhao.

Master Zhao’s residence was deep within the tranquil Bamboo Forest, where every visit involved encountering various spiritual beasts, from white tigers to spiritual eagles and immortal cranes—pretty much a mini zoo.

These spiritual beasts were fierce, but Ruo’er had trained them, emphasizing repeatedly that her young master, Lin Nuo, was the best person in the world. As a result, those beasts were brainwashed and all rushed over to Lin Nuo, with even the white tiger losing its fierceness and behaving like a docile kitten.

“Get lost, don’t crowd me.”

Lin Nuo quickly pushed away the pack of animals. They had previously been hostile, and now they were getting too close, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

The white tiger recognized Lin Nuo was there to see Master Zhao and thought the journey was treacherous and dark; hence, it decided to give Lin Nuo a ride, crouching down to indicate he could hop on.

Lin Nuo scoffed:

“What a joke! Why would I ride you? I can walk this little distance by myself!”

Not far from there, a simple little house emitted a glow, and in the courtyard surrounded by green bamboo, Master Zhao was savoring tea.

Rustle, rustle.

The sound of grass moving nearby caught Master Zhao’s attention, and a white tiger leaped into view in front of his door.

The door was open, allowing Master Zhao to see whatever was outside.

It was the white tiger, with a lively young man sitting atop it.
