Oh no! I think I've fallen for their trap!

Yue Qingyao looked at her daughter's distressed appearance, and her usually indifferent eyes were now filled only with biting heartache and rage.

"Why are you still here..."

Su Qinghan's tears spilled out, and she revealed everything that had happened that night.

Yue Qingyao grabbed her wrist, sending a stream of Pure Magical Power into her body. She instantly detected the Seal on her magical power and the God-Sealing Technique deeply rooted in her Divine Soul.

"Mother, that old bastard placed the God-Sealing Technique on me. You have a way to undo it for me, right?"

Yue Qingyao frowned deeply, her eyes filled with heavy worry.

"The God-Sealing Technique... This technique is directly planted upon your Divine Soul. Though my cultivation level allows me to forcefully erase it, the risk is too great."

"A slight mistake could damage your Divine Soul Origin. The consequences... would be unimaginable!"

If the Divine Soul is damaged, the lightest outcome is becoming an idiot; the heaviest is Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering on the spot.

Su Qinghan was her only daughter, and she dared not take that risk.

"I will go capture this person right now and force him to undo it for you!"

Killing intent flashed in Yue Qingyao's eyes, and she turned to act.

Su Qinghan quickly grabbed her, shaking her head repeatedly: "It won't work! That old fellow is meticulous and cunning as a fox!"

"He knows very well that the God-Sealing Technique is his life-preserving talisman! Undoing the Restriction is his death sentence! Even if you kill him, he won't possibly..."

A chill flashed in Yue Qingyao's eyes: "Then I will plant a Restriction in his Divine Soul as well. That way, I can take you, and he won't dare to act rashly!"

"No!"

Flames of vengeance burned in Su Qinghan's eyes, and her expression was resolute.

"I will never rest until one of us is dead! If I don't kill him with my own hands, my Dao Heart will be unstable, and it will definitely become a great source of trouble for my Heart Demon in the future!"

Yue Qingyao looked at her daughter's expression, remained silent for a moment, and then a sharp light flashed in her eyes.

"I, your mother, do have a method."

She flipped her hand and took out an exquisite small white jade bottle.

"I will teach you the 'Profound Sound of Charming the Heart' technique, paired with this bottle of 'Illusionary God Incense.' This incense is colorless and odorless. When applied to the body, it is no different from ordinary rouge."

"As long as that old scoundrel smells this incense, his mind will become hazy. You can then seize the opportunity to use the Profound Sound of Charming the Heart, secretly dragging him into a Deep Illusion."

"At that time, you can lure him in the illusion to remove the God-Sealing Technique for you, and he will certainly obey."

"Once the forbidden technique is undone..."

Yue Qingyao made a gesture of slitting a throat.

"However, you must be careful. This method must be Cultivated to proficiency before being used, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Su Qinghan pressed.

"Otherwise, if you make a mistake while casting the spell, you will be unable to move for a short period. Although you will recover once the time passes, if you are in danger, you will be at the mercy of others."

Su Qinghan took the jade bottle and nodded vigorously: "Good! I will Cultivate it to maturity before finding him! He has no defenses against me, his daughter, so he will definitely fall for the trap!"

"Alright, I will now help you undo part of the magical power Seal. Remember to conceal your cultivation well. After you succeed, immediately send me a message, and I will come to pick you up!" Yue Qingyao instructed in a deep voice.

Lin Yuan was unaware of the poisonous scheme concocted by the mother and daughter.

He had just finished his third session of "Bitter Cultivation" with Han Shuang, acquiring a full one hundred and fifty-eight usable attribute points, and only then did he fall into a deep sleep after his energy was exhausted.

The next morning, the sky broke dawn.

Han Shuang served Lin Yuan, helping him wash and dress.

"The older sister who came last night..."

"You don't need to worry about her," Lin Yuan said calmly while adjusting his collar. "She is not someone from our world. I estimate she will only stay in our small courtyard for a few days before leaving."

Yue Qingyao is at the Late Core Formation Stage Perfection, known as the foremost person below the Nascent Soul stage, and is a ruthless character who dared to venture into the Yin Corpse Sect alone.

Even though Su Qinghan had the God-Sealing Technique planted on her by him, Yue Qingyao definitely had the means to take her away.

Trying to keep her with his meager strength was nothing short of a fool's dream.

Currently, Han Shuang's Golden Body Art has barely reached the introductory level, and three attribute points per session is still too little.

Diligence can make up for deficiencies, but it strains the waist too much.

Lin Yuan's heart stirred. He had refined many low-grade qi gathering pills yesterday, which could greatly shorten Han Shuang's Cultivation time.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan handed over a jade bottle: "Take this."

"There are six Medicinal Pills in the bottle. Take one at a time; they can help you increase the speed of your Golden Body Art Cultivation."

"Thank you, Immortal Master!" Han Shuang's eyes immediately reddened, and her hands trembled slightly.

"You have also embarked on cultivation now, so don't call me Immortal Master anymore; it sounds too distant," Lin Yuan waved his hand.

"When we are alone, call me Brother Yuan."

"Brother... Brother Yuan," Han Shuang's pretty face flushed red, and she bowed in response, her voice barely a whisper.

"Alright, go get busy. I still need to continue with Alchemy."

After Han Shuang withdrew, filled with endless gratitude and longing, Lin Yuan took out his Pill Furnace and Spiritual Materials and once again began the tedious great undertaking of Alchemy.

In the blink of an eye, a little less than half a day quickly passed.

Amidst the flickering furnace fire, Lin Yuan successfully refined two more batches of qi gathering pills.

Six Low Grade, four Medium Grade.

He nodded contentedly, picked up a mid-grade qi gathering pill, and was about to put it in his mouth to Cultivate.

"Move aside, I need to see him about something!"

"The Immortal Master is currently performing Alchemy; you cannot enter!"

The sound of Su Qinghan and Han Shuang arguing came from outside the door.

"Let her in," Lin Yuan said.

The door opened, and Han Shuang apologized: "Immortal Master, I couldn't stop her..."

Lin Yuan waved his hand: "It's fine. Go attend to your duties."

Su Qinghan moved with light, lotus-like steps, slowly entering the room.

Today, she was clearly meticulously dressed. Shedding her usual coldness, she wore a Light Purple Flowing Immortal Dress, and her lightly powdered face exuded a captivating and soul-snatching charm.

Her gaze fell upon the mid-grade qi gathering pill in Lin Yuan's hand. A flicker of surprise crossed her beautiful eyes, and then her red lips parted slightly, her voice sounding somewhat softer.

"The Medicinal Pill is good. Unfortunately, consuming large amounts of Medicinal Pills to increase cultivation easily leads to an unstable Foundation and superficial magical power."

As she spoke, she walked closer to Lin Yuan.

A faint, lingering fragrance, like the scent of some peculiar flower pollen, quietly entered Lin Yuan's nostrils, causing his tense mind to inexplicably waver.

"I am already this old. If I don't enter Foundation Establishment soon, my Lifespan will run out, and I will surely die. By then, a handful of yellow earth, who cares about superficial magical power or an unstable Foundation?" Lin Yuan put away the Medicinal Pill and replied calmly.

"I came today because I wanted to discuss something with you."

Su Qinghan stopped in front of him, her breath fragrant like orchids, and the subtle scent seemed even stronger.

"If you let me leave, I can swear a great heart demon oath that the matter today will be settled, clearing all grievances between us. My mother and I will absolutely never cause you any trouble in this life."

"Besides that, I will also give you an enormous stroke of good fortune. How about it?"

The great heart demon oath holds extremely strong binding power over Cultivators.

If violated, the Heart Demon will breed. Lightly, cultivation will stagnate; heavily, when attempting a Breakthrough, the Heart Demon will backlash, resulting in immediate Death and the Vanishing of the Dao.

Su Qinghan, being so agreeable now?

Wait... something is wrong!

A frantic warning rang out in Lin Yuan's heart. A strong feeling of drowsiness suddenly swept over him, and his head felt heavy and sluggish, as if filled with lead and mercury.

This incense... is poisonous!

The moment this thought arose, Su Qinghan had already pressed close, her warm, orchid-fragrant breath brushing past his ear, her voice carrying a seductive, bewitching power.

"Brother Yuan, am I right?"

Buzz—!

Lin Yuan only felt the world spinning. The Pill Furnace, the stone room, every scene before him began to twist and shatter!
