The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 135 Unobstructed Communication

Lin Yu looked at the two discussing whether to read her book at night or during the day, and her face also struggled to maintain composure.

She certainly knew the contents of the book and realized some parts were meant only for adults. Seeing Lin Yun find out she possessed such a book still made her somewhat shy.

Moreover, Wang Wanqiu had previously suggested Lin Yun become her furnace, and now, should Lin Yun misunderstand her intentions, even his filial piety might be corrupted.

"This book contains many principles worthy of reference. The eyes of a cultivator should not focus solely on worldly matters,"

Lin Yu said solemnly.

She wasn’t lying -- she read Yuewei’s Miscellany because it truly explained Longevity Methods.

According to Mr. Yuewei’s theory, a stone thrown higher will eventually fall, and finding ways to prolong its descent is the method of longevity.

And suspending the stone with a rope would be the method for eternal life.

Since there is nowhere in the sky to hang a rope, Yuewei’s Miscellany only described the method for longevity.

Raising one’s cultivation level is the most basic method, and if one cannot achieve that, then one must rely on nourishment, akin to finding ways to slow the stone’s fall.

Lin Yu’s essence, qi, and spirit were constantly leaking, and she was unable to cultivate; she could only learn how to nourish her body to extend her life as much as possible.

She could accept her death, but she worked hard every moment she was alive.

Like now, although she no longer had any magical powers, her swordsmanship had actually improved.

After being chastised by Lin Yu, Zhao Lingyu did not dare to speak again and obediently stood on the side, looking like she had done something wrong.

Normally, seeing her this regretful, a typical man would likely comfort her, right?

However...

"Yes, this book indeed contains many reasonable points. You should take a good look, ignore those illustrations, and you’ll see much more,"

Lin Yun silently added in his mind, "The illustrations are the essence of the book, after all."

Those principles weren’t really useful, like researching only to find out that boiling water can scald and that people die if they are killed...

But the author’s drawings, those illustrations -- Lin Yun felt an urge to learn them.

Zhao Lingyu: "..."

Are you not going to console me at all?

This time, she truly felt aggrieved.

"Then I’ll take a closer look."

Zhao Lingyu bit her lip, silently cheering herself on.

The great figures of ancient times not only had lofty aspirations but also had relentless determination.

What was this setback compared to that!

But this illustration, it’s really too racy...

Although one should not view it with worldly biases, Zhao Lingyu was still a princess, after all. Her foolish imperial brother had indeed asked her to use her beauty to seduce promising disciples, but he had never intended for her to trade something substantive.

The dignity of the Royal Family mattered greatly.

Thus, while Zhao Lingyu had learned to stir hearts thanks to her talent and some guidance, she had never seen anything as provocative as this, and now she was genuinely embarrassed.

When embarrassed, one could also be very curious.

That was human nature.

Lin Yu watched her, face flushed, engrossed in the book, and suddenly felt the scene was rather odd.

Better sneak away.

Using cooking as an excuse, she went to the backyard.

Lin Yun did not disturb Zhao Lingyu, who was focused on the risqué images, instead approaching Hu Yuling and said, "Elder, I have an audacious request."

"Speak."

"You’ve grown many Spirit Grasses and should be skilled in medicine. I want to ask if there’s a way to save... her."

Lin Yun always found it hard to address Lin Yu with a family title and could only refer to her as "she."

Hu Yuling, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but secretly speculate what Lin Yun was really planning.

She had overheard the conversation between Lin Yun and Wang Wanqiu.

Lin Yun hadn’t even set up a soundproof barrier, but Hu Yuling considered that perhaps he had intentionally let her overhear on purpose.

Was this his way of signaling that he was staking a claim within Luozi Sword Sect, giving her a heads-up to avoid any conflict between them?

But what then was the purpose of his current question?

Clearly, Lin Yun could not really be Lin Yu’s foster son, and he wasn’t obliged to fulfil filial duties, so why insist on procuring medicine for Lin Yu?

In a very short amount of time, Hu Yuling thought of an answer.

Lin Yun was trying to prove himself!

It seemed he had already figured out Fang Yu’s character. Fang Yu was a man who valued filial piety above all else, so how could one best demonstrate their devotion to filial duty?

It was by behaving exceptionally well towards someone.

Lin Yun certainly hadn’t expected Lin Yu’s appearance at the start, but in such a short time, he had come up with this strategy. Truly impressive!

And by performing acts of filial piety elsewhere, Fang Yu wouldn’t be able to see it. So, it appeared that he was asking her if she could save Lin Yu when in fact he was requesting her to take Lin Yu back with her, allowing Fang Yu to witness his filial piety.

"The poison of the Poison Dragon Gu Worm cannot be cured by any medicine, however, it can be alleviated with some medicinal herbs. I happen to have some on my mountain, but these herbs are extremely precious."

Hu Yuling was indirectly expressing her thoughts.

I can help you, but you’ve got to pay a price for my assistance.

Upon hearing there was a way to alleviate the condition, Lin Yun felt a sense of relief. It was good news there was hope.

He was very confused now, not even sure whether he had body-swapped or soul-swapped, but in either case, it surely had something to do with the original Lin Yun.

Not to say that he owed the original host anything, but if he could help, he would do his best.

Now that the original host was no longer around, he would have to perform the filial duties on their behalf.

Even if he didn’t recognize Lin Yu as his mother, he should at least treat her well.

"Elder, I don’t have much savings right now, just tens of thousands of Gold. I know that’s definitely not enough to buy your Spirit Grass, but I believe in the future I will surely have the means to obtain items of equivalent value. So, I wonder if I could owe you for this time? If Elder Hu ever needs me to do something in the future, I will certainly not refuse."

Lin Yun spoke very humbly, and Hu Yuling was quite satisfied. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

It’s good that he’s sensible; there might be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

In Hu Yuling’s ears, Lin Yun’s words were as good as making a pact: you help me this time, I help you next time.

"That’s possible, but those medicinal herbs are very precious and must be used as soon as they are picked. You’ll need to convince your mother to return to the mountain with me."

In Hu Yuling’s view, she was already cooperating with Lin Yun’s plan. Hearing Hu Yuling’s agreement, Lin Yun was profoundly grateful in his heart.

Elder Hu really is an incredibly good person in every sense of the word.

In the future, anyone who says she’s of ill repute, I will contradict them.

"Thank you, Elder," Lin Yun said, his gratitude sincere.

People of the Righteous Path really are mostly good; no wonder Dongfang Hongyue insisted on having him cultivate within the Orthodox Sects.

There is true kindness and true love in the Mortal Realm!

Lin Yun also knew that although he was indeed a disciple with great potential, Hu Yuling was already in a position of great power and influence, and the things she sought, even if Lin Yun were to become successful in his cultivation in the future, he probably wouldn’t be able to give her.

Despite that, she was still willing to help him.

Feeling the love, feeling the love...

Hu Yuling: "..."

This old fox, why does he seem so genuine?
