Chapter 68 gave us way too much!
Everyone thought that Elder Bai Mei had given up, after all, he left dejectedly, clearly having been harshly rejected by Elder Duanmu.
Even Lan Yue thought so, so when she was sitting on Erdan's back to get breakfast from Linggu Hall that morning, she was surprised to see Elder Bai Mei appear and stopped in surprise.
She only paused for a moment, but unexpectedly, the white-browed elder on the other side immediately rushed over, his face full of excitement.
"Lan Yue, is it really you!"
Looking at Elder Bai Mei, whose face was rosy and whose eyes were shining, Lan Yue suddenly had a bad feeling.
As the other person drew closer, she didn't even bother with Erdan beside her and took off running.
"Lan Yue, don't run away! I came to ask you for help!" The white-browed elder opposite was extremely anxious, his long white eyebrows fluttering in the wind, so much so that he didn't even notice one of them had run away.
Upon hearing his words, Lan Yue in front immediately ran even faster, and even Er Dan, who was desperately trying to catch up with her by flapping his legs behind her, could not catch up.
Erdan, suspended in mid-air, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
"Excuse me, Elder Bai Mei, I really don't know you!" Having seen how persistent Elder Lu was, Lan Yue didn't dare to talk to him any longer, fearing that she would become the next Crimson Moon Sect Master and Elder Duanmu.
"Lan Yue, we're such good friends now, and I even gave you spirit stones and pills last time! You can't just stand by and watch someone die!" Elder Bai Mei chased after them desperately.
"We're not familiar, we really aren't familiar, I don't know you!" Lan Yue sped up again.
Of course, she didn't forget the spiritual food she had worked so hard to get from Linggutang. Even though her legs were flailing about like afterimages, she held the lunchbox tightly in her arms.
"Lan Yue, if you help me this time, I'll give you three top-grade spirit stones!"
Lan Yue's running pace slowed down noticeably.
"Three pieces are still a bit too little. If you're willing, I'll give you five pieces in one go!" Seeing that there was a chance, the white-browed elder behind him quickly added another condition.
Lan Yue hesitated; she was truly tempted!
This isn't an ordinary spirit stone; it's a top-grade spirit stone! Top-grade spirit stones are extremely rare and hard to come by!
"Damn it, since that's how it is..." Lan Yue didn't finish her sentence.
The white-browed elder opposite him grew anxious and roared again, "Ten top-grade spirit stones, that's really the most we can offer!"
"Deal!" Lan Yue stopped abruptly and gave the elders behind her a bright smile.
These are ten top-grade spirit stones! Who would pass up top-grade spirit stones?
"Come on, let's discuss this properly. What kind of effect do you want?" Lan Yue rubbed her hands together.
The white-browed elder opposite was clearly dumbfounded, unable to believe that she had agreed so quickly.
"Let's make this clear first, I don't know Elder Duanmu's magic, and I can't change my gender!" Lan Yue felt that this matter needed to be made clear in advance.
"It doesn't matter, as long as I can dress up like a fairy, that's fine." Elder White Eyebrows was immediately excited.
If Lan Yue agrees, everything will definitely be resolved, after all, she is someone who possesses a celestial artifact!
"Elder Lu, wait until I finish breakfast and ask Elder Duanmu for leave. I'll take you to the market outside the sect." Lan Yue instantly got into the zone.
Now that she's accepted this task, she's determined to transform Elder White Eyebrows into the most beautiful "fairy"!
"Alright, alright, I'll do anything you ask." Elder White Eyebrows was almost moved to tears.
Unexpectedly, the person who ultimately saved him was this guy who always ate his own melon!
Lan Yue returned the spiritual food she was holding and left a note telling Elder Duanmu that she was going to practice divination at the big rock.
It was impossible for her to ask for leave; the elders had been keeping a very close watch on things and wouldn't grant her any leave. She had to find another way.
Arriving at Lingyue Peak, Lanyue looked left and right, then took out a wooden figure exactly like herself and placed it on a large rock.
This wooden figure even wore clothes and a wig, and from a distance, it looked exactly like her.
Not only that, but just to be on the safe side, she even let Erdan sleep next to her, pretending to protect "her".
After that, she and Elder Bai Mei left furtively.
"Elder Lu, the essence of cross-dressing is actually the act of pretending. If you use magic to directly transform into a fairy, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?" Lan Yue raised her eyebrows, feeling that her career was about to begin.
"Yes, Xiao Lanyue, you're right. How come I didn't think of that before? I was only thinking about learning magic from Elder Duanmu." Elder Bai Mei said thoughtfully.
"What if I really turned into a woman? Wouldn't that be so inconvenient?"
The key is that he himself is embarrassed, and he might even feel awkward walking.
"That's right!" Lan Yue clapped her hands sharply. "So next, we're going to carry out an unprecedented transformation!"
"Alright, Lan Yue, I'll do whatever you say!" Elder Bai Mei was also getting excited. "If we succeed in the end, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"
The two conspired together, and then they went outside the sect.
Outside the Nanling Sect's main gate was a bustling market, filled with numerous shops.
Of course, the most numerous were the senior brothers and sisters carrying stalls and setting up stalls everywhere. They were selling things, including spiritual artifacts, pills, talismans, formations, and even cultivation techniques.
After Lan Yue arrived, several familiar senior brothers and sisters greeted her.
"Lan Yue, why are you out today? Did Elder Duanmu let you out?" asked the senior brother from the Array Pavilion, who was wearing an indigo robe.
"Little Lanyue, you didn't sneak out this time, did you? If you anger Elder Duanmu, he'll punish you by making you draw array diagrams again," a senior sister from the Pill Pavilion said with a smile.
"It's alright, I have special techniques for asking for leave!" Lan Yue waved her hand dismissively.
She is not afraid at all now, because last night Lan Yue saw on the system's minimap that Elder Duanmu and Elder Fang's locations overlapped.
The two of them are probably busy catching up, and it's uncertain when they'll wake up. They won't have time to care about her.
"Senior Sister Xing, give me two bottles of Beauty Pills!" Lan Yue had just received ten top-grade spirit stones and was extremely generous.
"Oh, Xiao Lanyue has struck it rich this time, actually having time to patronize Senior Sister's shop." Xing Mu pursed her lips, a smile on her face.
"Senior sister has just gotten a few new whitening pills, and also 'Eyes Like Autumn Water' (a type of eye cream). Do you want to buy them too?"
Xing Mu subtly introduced the other elixirs.
This was the first time Lan Yue had ever heard of a pill called "Eyes Like Autumn Water," and she was immediately filled with curiosity.
"Two servings of each, please!"
"Alright, since it's what Xiao Lanyue wanted, I'll naturally give you a discount. It'll be three thousand three hundred spirit stones in total." This senior sister couldn't stop smiling; her eyes, as clear as autumn water, had finally sold it!
Hearing the number of spirit stones, Lan Yue on the other side felt a sharp pain in her heart.
However, when she turned her head and saw Elder White Eyebrows's wheat-colored skin and dry eyes, she immediately clenched her hands!
It's alright, everything we've spent so far has been worth it! As long as Elder White Eyebrows takes good care of us, we'll get more spirit stones!
"Are these all for me?" Elder Bai Mei looked at the bottles of pills in his arms with surprise and doubt.
"Not entirely, because these are just the beginning, and there's still a lot to prepare!" Lan Yue said confidently.
"Let's go shopping again!"
Both of them were so engrossed in their own emotions that they didn't notice several familiar figures following behind them.
"What is Junior Sister Lanyue up to? Why are you acting so suspiciously when you come out?" Yunxi asked curiously.
Of course, she didn't meet her here by chance. She had seen her junior sister's furtive figure on Lingyue Peak, so she and the others secretly followed her.
"Chirp chirp!" It's definitely up to no good!
"The person next to my junior sister looks like Elder Bai Mei. How did they end up together? Is there some new gossip going on?" Li Bai's eyes lit up.
"That girl must have found something fun but didn't share it with us. We must give her a good scolding when we get back!" Wu Tianyu stomped her foot angrily.
"Brother, Lanyue must have something important to do. Don't keep picking fights with her." The twin sister beside her thought helplessly.
"Junior sister likes the beauty pill?" Only Yuan Shuo, who was at the very back, was paying attention to the beauty pill.
"If Junior Sister Lanyue likes the Beauty Pill, I can refine more in the future, but my current cultivation level is not high enough," Yunxi said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Let's go, let's sneak over there again!" Li Bai bought a round hat from the side and also pulled off a veil.
"Give me one too!" The twin brother hid behind him, looking at his veil with great longing.
"Buy it yourself!"
"mean!"
"Chirp!" Two childish brats!
