About six hundred li outside Yingning Mountain lies a valley.
The demonic aura there is thin, and poisonous gas gathers—this is a territory of flower demons, and few other demons dare enter.
Ye Yu arrived at the edge above this valley.
Finding a relatively secluded spot, he immediately activated automatic cultivation mode.
In the next moment, his originally golden hair instantly turned pale.
He slowly stood up and glanced northward.
A thousand meters away in the woods, Luo Ning suddenly stopped.
She did not hide but stood out openly.
In fact, Luo Ning’s appearance here was for a reason.
This afternoon, she had spent a large sum to buy a supreme-grade mystic demon cultivation technique for Ye Yu.
Though the grade might not be very high, it was the highest she could purchase.
She planned to bring this demon cultivation technique to Ye Yu tonight.
As for why she chose night time, it was simple.
As Demon King of Yingning Mountain, Luo Ning naturally had heard the rumors circulating in the demon mountain.
Like the Demon King’s love confession being rejected, the male monkey pretending aloofness to tease.
To be honest, it was quite a sensational story.
It even stirred Luo Ning’s murderous intent.
She had even considered killing a few demons to warn others but gave up in the end.
Because she clearly understood the nature of these demons on Yingning Mountain.
If she killed some demons this morning, by afternoon there would be stories about a Demon King enraged over love.
Then it would be impossible to defend herself.
So she let it be — half a year of gossip, let them talk.
As long as she could find the whereabouts of the Bihai Yin Chao Technique, everything was worth it.
After all, that cultivation method held extraordinary meaning for her.
No matter if people misunderstood her, she was willing to sacrifice everything she had.
Of course, that was what she said.
But in this day and age of rampant rumors, avoiding trouble when possible was better.
She was too tired to explain—her hands ached!
She told herself she would settle accounts after truly obtaining the Bihai Yin Chao Technique.
Comforted, Luo Ning walked under cover of night.
Before reaching the Ye family blessed grotto, she saw Ye Yu speeding off toward the distance.
So late at night—where could he be going?
Luo Ning furrowed her brow slightly and followed, intending to see what he was up to and also hoping Ye Yu wouldn’t reject the demon cultivation technique she just obtained!
And thus the present scene unfolded.
Facing Ye Yu’s gaze, Luo Ning took the demon cultivation book from her storage ring and held it high.
"For you!"
Ye Yu’s expression remained normal as he quietly stood without a word.
Above him, the soul body of Ye Yu also noticed Luo Ning’s presence.
When he saw the cultivation technique in her hand, his heart rejoiced.
Having a cultivation method was a good thing—he hoped the hour of automatic cultivation would allow him to sit still and cultivate obediently.
The next second, it was as if his body heard his heart’s voice.
With a light tap of his toes, in just one breath of time he arrived before Luo Ning.
He raised his hand to take the cultivation technique.
Soul-body Ye Yu was very pleased to see this.
"So obedient this time?"
However, before Ye Yu could continue his joy,
The body directly threw the cultivation book to the ground and stepped on it.
Then twisted it twice with his foot.
Luo ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) Ning froze in place instantly.
She had painstakingly spent most of her life savings to buy this cultivation technique, only to have it ruthlessly trampled like this?
"Look at it properly!"
"Too much, too much!"
Luo Ning clenched her fists, struggling to contain her anger, and burst out three words.
"You, explain!"
Even now, Luo Ning had not lost her temper—that was already her limit.
But the automatic cultivation controlled body never wasted words with anyone.
Instantly, it transformed into a streak of light and sped southward.
At this moment, Luo Ning’s anger reached its peak.
"I already gave you a way out, even if you gave me a lame excuse I would have tolerated it."
"But you didn’t even pretend to be polite—you outright rejected my effort."
"Who could tolerate that?"
Luo Ning’s face flushed red; she picked up the cultivation book from the ground and followed after him.
"Don’t go!"
Soul-body Ye Yu saw everything clearly.
Not only did Luo Ning feel this was too much,
He himself felt very embarrassed.
She gave mystical materials and treasures, he said no and wanted cultivation techniques instead.
Now that cultivation technique came, he still rejected it and threw it away.
Not only threw it, but stepped on it twice.
Honestly, no one could tolerate this!
But now that automatic cultivation was enabled, he could not interfere with anything, only helplessly watch his body speed ahead.
As for Luo Ning, she could only wait for an hour and then try to explain again.
A moment later,
The surroundings began to look increasingly familiar.
Wait, this is... Jianyao City!
Soul-body Ye Yu was puzzled why his body traveled such a great distance.
Before, when activating automatic cultivation,
It always searched for nearby resources; this was the first time it ran so far.
Could it be something else attracting the body here?
Could it still be ancient great demoness blood?
At that moment, soul-body Ye Yu’s expression changed suddenly.
No matter what it was, he hoped it wouldn’t cause trouble again!
Jianyao City was one of the nine great demon cities of the demon realm, filled with powerful experts, and its lord was a demon lord-level powerhouse.
With Ye Yu’s current realm, if he caused chaos here, it would be very dangerous!
At this moment, Ye Yu began to regret activating automatic cultivation.
But it was too late for regrets now; he could only leave it to fate.
Getting closer, closer!
Ahead, the tower shining with golden light was the Conscience Workshop Ye Yu had visited before.
But today there was no auction, so few demons gathered nearby.
Ye Yu arrived, concealed his form, and circled to the back.
With one hand, he pushed a wall and forcibly revealed a door, then entered.
This was a secret door!
Soul-body Ye Yu widened his eyes in surprise.
He did not know why, but since activating automatic cultivation, his body always seemed to know hidden things.
Like this secret door, and the hidden compartment previously found in Chixiao the Goat Lord’s room.
