After a moment of frustration, Fang Meiyun reflected and finally decided to go to a small cave within the sect to ask Meng Zihao for help.
Anyway, that guy isn't afraid of death, and his strength is enough.
If she lets Tang Yu, that bastard, continue cultivating, in a few years, perhaps even she won't be able to defeat him.
When she entered the small cave...
Fang Meiyun immediately saw Meng Zihao sitting in a pavilion in the middle of the lake, fully focused on the jade cylinder in his hands.
He didn't even notice her arrival.
This made Fang Meiyun feel that something was wrong.
A jade scroll?
Could it be the work of that bastard Tang Yu?
With a single thought, she teleported instantly in front of Meng Zihao and asked:
"How is your recovery going?"
Meng Zihao, startled, immediately showed an expression of embarrassment. He quickly put the jade cylinder aside and smiled.
"I appreciate your concern, Sister Meiyun. If I rest a bit more, I'll be almost fully recovered."
"If your body can recover, that's good."
Fang Meiyun nodded and then pointed at the jade scroll in his hands.
"I saw you so absorbed just now. What is that?"
Upon Fang Meiyun's question, a hint of panic appeared in Meng Zihao's eyes.
But he quickly pretended to be calm and replied:
"A good old friend returned from a trip a few days ago and recorded beautiful landscapes in this scroll for me to enjoy."
"Really? Then, can I take a look?"
"This..."
Meng Zihao immediately showed an uncomfortable expression.
Seeing his reaction, Fang Meiyun's face darkened. Without hesitation, she used a technique to snatch the jade scroll from his hands.
With just one look using her divine sense, she felt the urge to kill.
She knew it. That bastard was looking at that filth.
"Meng Zihao! Damn bastard!"
Fang Meiyun crushed the jade scroll in her hand. Her face, wrinkled with fury, trembled, almost on the verge of attacking him on the spot.
"Meiyun, let me explain. I was looking at it because I care about you. This isn't the 'Diary of the Misfortune of Fairy Meiyun' that circulates out there."
Meng Zihao, pale-faced, tried to defend himself, stuttering.
"Isn't it? But the woman is clearly drawn to resemble me! And the man looks like you!"
Fang Meiyun shouted furiously, ignoring the fact that Tang Yu had embellished her image in the illustration.
After all, in her youth, she only had an average appearance, very distant from the celestial beauty in the jade scroll.
"But it really isn't that diary. That guy made it to get back at me for trying to kill him last time. He drew this intentionally to sow discord between us."
"You also saw the content! It says that I, Meng Zihao, was a cucumber vendor at the entrance of the sect of maidens, and that you seduced me and everything else! I was thinking about how to prevent these illustrations from being sold, I had no other intentions!"
Meng Zihao hurriedly justified himself.
But his explanation only fueled the flames further.
Could he recite the plot from memory and still claim he had no hidden intentions?
"You're a damn bastard, a pervert, a shameless idiot! How can you give me such an excuse? It's clear that you love these things! You're disgusting! Disgusting!"
Fang Meiyun began to insult him ruthlessly.
Meng Zihao, pale-faced, lowered his head without saying a word, but inside, he was rejoicing.
Just as little Tang Yu had said, if he accidentally exposed the jade cylinder, he would get a good scolding from Meiyun.
Wonderful! This was so satisfying!
After venting, Fang Meiyun felt a little calmer.
With a dark face, she stared at Meng Zihao and said, "Go. I have nothing else to say to you."
"Meiyun, I know you're angry, but I really had no such intentions. If you don't believe me, at least let me recover first. When my body heals, I'll give my life if necessary to kill Tang Yu for you and prove my sincerity."
Meng Zihao raised his hand and swore seriously.
Hearing him, Fang Meiyun calmed down a little more.
Right now, she just wanted to use someone to eliminate Tang Yu.
And Meng Zihao was the best option.
She took a deep breath and, without saying a word, turned around and left.
But the worst was yet to come for Fang Meiyun.
The 'Diary of the Misfortune of Fairy Meiyun' kept updating.
And Tang Yu's new work was also selling like hotcakes.
Its title was: "My Days Selling Cucumbers in the Hehuan Sect."
Since its release, it became an instant success.
That type of story, where an insignificant person gets lucky enough to sleep with an immortal,
was exactly the kind of plot that fascinated small cultivators and old perverts.
After satisfying their fantasies, getting their spiritual stones became too easy.
In the last chapter of the 'Diary of the Misfortune of Fairy Meiyun,'
the protagonist was preparing for a seclusion cultivation to reach the Golden Core stage,
but he didn't have enough spiritual stones to stay in isolation.
So, he discovered something called a lottery and decided to spend some spiritual stones on tickets.
And it turned out he won the grand prize!
He received no less than a thousand high-quality spiritual stones.
Thanks to this stroke of luck, in just half a month, he leveled up from Foundation stage to Golden Core with the cultivation resources!
This kind of lottery, once the concept was launched, made everyone realize this was undoubtedly a unique opportunity for fortune.
Even if one went to a dangerous and deadly secret place, it wasn't necessarily possible to win so much in one go.
The next day, the Hehuan Sect and the treasure tower announced they were starting to sell lottery tickets.
The two sects supported and promised that the lottery would be absolutely fair.
If anyone discovers any fraud or cheating, the two sects will offer 5,000 high-quality spiritual stones as a reward!
When ticket sales started, cultivators began trying their luck.
After all, with only two low-quality spiritual stones, one could participate, and those spiritual stones weren't very useful.
The drawings were held once a week.
After the week of sales ended, the two sect leaders attended the event and were in charge of drawing the first lot.
The drawing was conducted with a simple formation arrangement.
It was precisely because it looked so simple that the lottery seemed fair, with no fraud or manipulation.
Liu Yanlan was rarely seen in public, but after announcing the winning numbers, the cultivators who had gathered to watch the drawing began checking their numbers.
"Wow! Awesome! I won! Fifth prize, ten medium-quality spiritual stones!"
"Damn it, I got the last prize, five low-quality spiritual stones."
"I didn't win, if I had known, I would've bought more tickets. Has anyone won the grand prize?"
The cultivators with tickets began shouting.
Hearing many ask about the grand prize, Amber stepped forward and smiled, saying:
"This lottery has two grand prize winners. The winners must come forward to claim their prize, but please don't worry, whether you are solo cultivators or disciples of sects, if you win the grand prize, you can go to Hehuan Sect to a place full of spiritual energy to cultivate for a thousand years. We'll take care of your safety and won't let anyone harass or kill you just for winning the grand prize."
In the south of the Continent of the Nine Clouds, obtaining such a promise from the two great sects means that, even if you are a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, if you make an enemy of an expert in the Spiritual Transformation stage, even they would not dare to attack you easily.
Just after Amber announced this, a cultivator in the Foundation stage, unable to contain his excitement, flew directly toward Amber, shouting:
"I... I won the grand prize!"
He was a big fan of Tang Yu, as his works had always had a strong sense of immersion.
Since he saw the protagonist win with a single ticket, he decided to take a chance last time and spent five middle-grade spiritual stones.
When he saw that he had won the grand prize, he first felt excitement, then fear.
After all, "an innocent man with a precious jewel would be considered guilty."
Amber's promise made him relent, and flying toward her, he handed over the ticket.
Amber, upon taking the ticket, enlarged it using a technique so that everyone in the audience could see it clearly.
In front of everyone, she had a thousand high-quality spiritual stones brought to her, and she handed them to the cultivator who had not even reached the Foundation stage.
"Thank you, Leader Amber! Thank you, Leader Liu!"
Upon receiving the spiritual stones, which were more than he could imagine, the cultivator kneeled in gratitude.
"You're welcome. If you're worried about your safety, come with me to Hehuan Sect later," said Liu Yanlan, nodding slightly.
Thousands of cultivators in the audience watched with envy. That enormous amount of spiritual stones was enough for this young man to reach the Soul-Nurturing Realm!
Among them, a cultivator who knew the lucky one shouted:
"Zhang Ji! Didn't you want to find a Daoist partner? The other person has already decided, she is willing to accompany you to Hehuan Sect for joint cultivation!"
"Go to hell! I've chased you for ten years and you've swindled me out of many spiritual stones, and now you've made up your mind? To hell with you!"
The fortunate Zhang Ji responded rudely.
A group of male cultivators burst into laughter, while the female cultivator turned red and wished she could find a hole to hide in.
Just as everyone was laughing, a cultivator dressed in the maid sect's clothing flew toward the stage.
The cultivator, who was already in the Golden Core realm, held a lottery ticket and timidly said:
"Seniors, I also won the grand prize."
A few days ago, when she heard about the lottery, she wasn't interested, since it was related to Hehuan Sect and she didn't want to get into trouble.
However, her solitary cultivator friend dragged her into buying a ticket just to try her luck.
She never imagined she would actually win.
At this moment, her emotions were at their peak because the thousand high-quality spiritual stones were something she could not afford to miss.
But, if her sect found out about this... she couldn't imagine the consequences.
