Chapter 31: Jade Dragon Flute

It was a jade flute, verdant green all over.
The first time he saw it, Lin Fan didn’t feel there was anything special about it.

But…

From the information displayed by the system, this jade flute seemed to be anything but simple.

“Hmm…”

Staring at such a simple description, Lin Fan cupped his chin and fell into deep thought.

“This is it, confirm!” After a brief moment of thought, Lin Fan decisively pressed the confirm button.

[Ding dong! Congratulations, Host, you have received the Jade Dragon Flute ×1.]

“Huh?” Lin Fan exclaimed with some surprise, “I didn’t expect this divine weapon… to feel so comfortable in my hand.”

“Master, what is this?” Bai Ling was the first to see the jade flute in Lin Fan’s hand and immediately snatched it over. “Let Ling’er see it, okay?”

“Eh? Wait…”

Just as Lin Fan was about to step forward and stop her, a layer of cyan light suddenly shimmered on the surface of the jade flute.
Appearing along with the light was a peerlessly beautiful woman in green robes.

“Wow…” The moment she saw the green-robed woman, the drool at the corner of Bai Ling’s mouth was about to flow out. “Big sister is so beautiful, so pretty…”

“Who are you?” Staring at the infatuated Bai Ling, the green-robed woman’s brows furrowed slightly. “Were you the one who awakened me?”

“It’s me, it’s me!” Bai Ling shouted excitedly at the green-robed woman. “Big sister, do you know how to cuddle? If not, I can teach you!”

“Sigh, this girl…” Looking at the unfiltered Bai Ling, Lin Fan sighed helplessly.

“No…” The green-robed woman glanced at Bai Ling, then shook her head in denial. “You are not the person I am looking for…”

“Senior Sister Bai, who is this…” Noticing the commotion on Bai Ling’s side, Su Muxue stepped forward and asked with some curiosity.

“Hm?”

The moment Su Muxue walked over, the green-robed woman’s tone suddenly became excited. “That’s right… it’s you! It’s you!”

“Ah?” Staring at the excited green-robed woman, Su Muxue was momentarily stunned. “Wh-What do you mean, it’s me?”

“Glazed Three Purities Pupils…” the green-robed woman couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “I’ve finally caught you. You won’t be able to run away this time!”

“Ah, this… what’s going on?!” Su Muxue stared blankly at the scene before her.

“Swoosh—”

Before Su Muxue could react, the green-robed woman transformed into a streak of green light and instantly drilled into Su Muxue’s forehead.

“Master, this is…” Su Muxue turned her head and asked Lin Fan with a worried expression.

“Don’t be afraid,” Lin Fan slowly walked up to Su Muxue and said in a gentle tone, “This is a good thing…”

Obviously, another divine weapon had acknowledged its master on its own.

“Ah—”

Gazing at the azure sky, Lin Fan let out a long sigh of relief. “Why won’t any divine weapon acknowledge me as its master?”

[Give it a rest~]

The system suddenly popped out to mock him.

[Even if you were lucky enough to obtain a divine weapon, with your utterly sinful identity, you want it to acknowledge you? You’d be lucky if it didn’t kill its master.]

“Just shut your mouth!” Lin Fan retorted irritably.

“Master, this jade flute…” Bai Ling gently tugged on the corner of Lin Fan’s clothes.

“Do I even need to say it?” Lin Fan said with an indifferent gaze. “Go give it to your Sister Muxue.”

“Oh…”

Even though Bai Ling really liked this jade flute, after hearing Lin Fan’s command, she still obediently handed the flute over. “Sister Muxue, for you…”

“Ah… okay.” Su Muxue carefully took the jade flute and examined it with curious eyes.

“Ahem—”

Seeing this, Lin Fan let out a light cough. “Congratulations to Muxue for obtaining the acknowledgment of a divine weapon. Next up, it’s time for Master’s inspection.”

“Inspection?” Bai Ling was bewildered.

“Inspect what?”

“Of course I’m inspecting your cultivation progress,” Lin Fan said, then suddenly put on a stern face and asked, “Ling’er, tell me honestly. How much of that ‘Alchemy Handbook’ have you learned?”

“Of course I’ve learned all of it!” Bai Ling patted her chest and said proudly, “Ling’er has mastered all the pills in the book!”

“Nonsense!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but curse. “If that were really the case, I’m afraid you’d already be at the peak of the Quasi-Saint Realm!”

“It’s true!” Bai Ling argued defiantly, then showed off a pile of milky-white medicine bottles. “If you don’t believe me, look!”

“Hm?” Staring at the dazzling array of pills, a trace of astonishment flashed in Lin Fan’s eyes. “No way…”

Could it be that Bai Ling… was truly an unparalleled alchemy genius?

However—

When Lin Fan picked up a medicine bottle and sniffed it carefully a couple of times, the smile on his face suddenly vanished.

“Ling’er!” Lin Fan roared, then picked up a rattan cane. “Master absolutely must give you a beating today!”

It turned out that these pills refined by Bai Ling did not come from the ‘Alchemy Handbook’, but rather…

Elder Fenggu’s ‘Secret Arts of Vile Medicines’.

And one didn’t even need to think about those pills; they were all lewd items used for the amorous affairs of men and women.

“Ah!” Bai Ling shrieked, instantly transforming into her original form and rushing out the door.
As she ran, she shouted loudly, “Cat murder! Help…”

“Master—”

Ye Qinghong stepped forward and grabbed Lin Fan’s arm. “Let it go, Senior Sister Bai was just curious.”

“Sigh!” Lin Fan let out a heavy sigh. “It’s precisely because of this that I’m so worried!”

What was that old saying—curiosity killed the cat!

“Right,” Lin Fan changed the subject, “How is your study of formations coming along?”

“Reporting to Master—Qinghong has completed learning all of the ‘Sixty-Four Immortal-Slaying Formations’.”

“As expected…” Upon hearing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. “Is this what it means to be a genius…”

After a brief moment of emotion, Lin Fan handed over a slightly yellowed book. “This is the ‘Thirty-Six Ghost-Subduing Formations’. You can try learning it first.”

“Eh? Master, these characters…” Staring at the lines of abstract symbols in the book, Ye Qinghong instantly felt her scalp tingle.

“These are ghost talismans, a unique style of writing,” Lin Fan explained to Ye Qinghong. “The last few pages of the book have detailed annotations on ghost talismans.”

“This disciple understands!” After listening to Lin Fan’s explanation, Ye Qinghong had a sudden epiphany. “Thank you, Master!”

“Mm.” Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the two Su sisters. “Mubing, how is your progress with this sword?”

“Reporting to Master, I have basically finished getting familiar with it.”

“Not bad,” Lin Fan nodded in praise. “But—not ‘basically’, it must be ‘thoroughly’. You can take this ‘Azure Firmament Sword Manual’ and practice with it first.”

“As you command!”

“Master, what about me?” Su Muxue looked at Lin Fan with an expectant gaze.

“You… uh…”

Lin Fan instantly felt a headache coming on.

The cultivation directions of his other disciples were all relatively obvious.
But as for Su Muxue, Lin Fan wasn’t sure what cultivation direction suited her.

The only thing he could be certain of was that it was in a spiritual-type direction, otherwise it would have been impossible for her to gain the acknowledgment of a spiritual-type divine weapon.

“Wait… what did that weapon spirit mention just now?” Lin Fan suddenly remembered an important clue. “Glazed Three Purities Pupils?!”

“Master, what’s wrong?” Seeing Lin Fan’s astonished expression, Su Muxue asked with a concerned tone.

“You… wait for me!” Lin Fan said, then immediately ran into the room and began to rummage around.

“Not this one…”

“Not this one either…”

“That’s right…” After a round of searching, Lin Fan picked up a rather thick book. “This is it!”

Quickly flipping through a few pages, Lin Fan soon found the introduction to the Glazed Three Purities Pupils.

“Glazed Three Purities Pupils, the number one strange pupils on the continent. The holder of these pupils is immune to all illusions in the world. At the same time, they possess an extremely high comprehension ability for offensive sonic-type cultivation techniques.”

“So that’s how it is…”

After reading the description, Lin Fan was overjoyed.
Putting other things aside, he had as many offensive sonic-type cultivation techniques as one could want.

“Muxue, ah,” Lin Fan walked out of the room and beckoned to Su Muxue, “Come here for a moment.”

“What is it, Master?” Su Muxue walked into the room and asked with some curiosity.

“Master has found—a cultivation technique suitable for you.”

“Really?!” Upon hearing this, Su Muxue asked impatiently, “Where is the technique? Muxue wants to take a look.”

“Here, this whole box,” Lin Fan kicked the cardboard box at his side nonchalantly.

“A… A whole box?!” For a moment, Su Muxue thought there was something wrong with her ears.

“Yes, a box.”

“But—” Su Muxue felt her breathing become a little unsteady. “Master, where did you get so many cultivation techniques?”

“Is there even a need to ask? Of course Master snatched…” Before he could finish, Lin Fan realized something was wrong and quickly shut his mouth.

“Snatched?” Su Muxue was somewhat bewildered. “Snatched what?”

“Snatched ahead… yes, snatched ahead!” he explained, stammering. “This is what Master obtained by being one step ahead when exploring a secret realm!”

“So that’s how it is,” after hearing Lin Fan’s explanation, Su Muxue couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up. “Master is truly amazing!”

“Ha… it’s… it’s alright…”

To cover up his embarrassment, Lin Fan quickly changed the subject. “Cultivate well, and don’t disgrace Master’s name.”

“Don’t worry, Master!” Su Muxue responded, then picked up the cardboard box in front of her and ran out, full of spirit.

[I say…]

The system’s faint voice sounded from Lin Fan’s mind.

[This system is very curious, how do you manage—to not blush every time you lie?]

“None of your business!” Lin Fan retorted irritably. “Let’s rest up and prepare to set out.”

[You’re still going out to find disciples?]

The system asked with some surprise.

“What else?” Lin Fan couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the system. “Have you forgotten—the situation Muxue and the others were in?”

To the current Lin Fan, time was life.
The sooner he found all the fairies, the more advantageous his situation would be.

[What I mean is, you don’t have to go looking for them personally at all~]

“Don’t have to go looking personally?” Lin Fan was a bit confused. “Then how do I find them?”

[Ahem—]

The system cleared its throat, then said mysteriously.

[Do you still remember… that pair of bronze mirrors?]
