Chapter 258: No Such Thing As a Free Lunch:
(Inside the Night Clan Cemetery)
As Mu Lingsha's figure entered the Night Clan Cemetery in front of her, a different scene appeared.
Many towering stone tablets appeared before Mu Lingsha.
Not only were these stone tablets' inscriptions blurred, but their structures degraded and collapsed, revealing the passage of time.
When Mu Lingsha glanced around, her expression immediately changed.
Simultaneously, two completely different voices emerged from her mouth.
"What's your real purpose for bringing me to this Night Clan cemetery?"
"Didn't I say that only by coming here, and seeking opportunities can we the upcoming annual competition? Otherwise, wait for yourself and Lin Yan to get caught."
"I may not know as much about the Night Clan's secrets as you do, but I know this cemetery is dangerous. Also, we have less than a month left until the Night Clan's annual competition, can we find opportunities in the short time?"
"Well, believe it or not, a newly-born consciousness like yours wouldn't even know what a Heavenly God Realm powerhouse like me is doing?"
Mu Lingsha and the original Mu Lingsha simultaneously took control of the body and argued fiercely.
Mu Lingsha had some suspicions at first.
She speculated if her original Mu Lingsha had another purpose for entering this Night Clan cemetery.
But as the argument progressed, Lin Yan's name gradually came up.
"That's right, I can't figure out your real thoughts and schemes, but I'm warning you. If you try to harm my master, I'll stop you, even if it costs me my life."
"Cost your life? What, just you? You are just a part of my split consciousness. If it weren't for that guy named Lin Yan, you would have been eliminated by me long ago."
"What's the use of saying such words now? You'd better think about how to get through this crisis first. Also, since you have decided to cooperate with my master, it's best for us to overcome difficulties together."
"Humph, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Besides, these words aren't necessary to test me. I'm a highly regarded Night Clan's Holy Madien, one of the mid-stage Heavenly God Realm. Until my goal is achieved, I cannot let that guy named Lin Yan die."
After Mu Lingsha said these words, her voice softened, "Anyway, shall we make a bet? I bet we'll be getting great benefits inside the Night Clan Cemetery this time."
Obviously, Mu Lingsha wasn't interested in betting with her original self.
She just snorted and stopped talking.
She continued walking deeper into the cemetery.
But suddenly, Mu Lingsha felt pain under her feet.
She lowered her head and looked at her feet.
But when Mu Lingsha looked closely, she was stunned.
Because what appeared under her feet at this moment was a jade hairpin.
The jade hairpin emitted a faint glow, and just by looking at it, anyone could recognize that it was unique.
She stumbled upon a treasure while just walking.
This kind of opportunity even shocked Mu Lingsha to the core.
However, her original Mu Lingsha seemed unsurprised.
Her face revealed a confident and expectant smile as she took control of her body.
Bending down, she picked up a jade hairpin from the ground and continued walking forward.
Crack!
This time, not far from where she walked, a stone tablet in front of her suddenly shattered.
A silhouette resembling a lingering soul slowly drifted out of the broken stone tablet, and arrived in front of Mu Lingsha.
This silhouette paused momentarily and then transformed into pure Qi, entering Mu Lingsha's body.
Almost immediately, Mu Lingsha's mind gained many cultivation insights.
These insights originally belonged to the Night Clan ancestors buried here.
Now, they all come to Mu Lingsha.
Of course, Mu Lingsha herself was a Night Clan cultivator, so obtaining these insights was considered a good thing for the Night Clan.
Similar things kept happening ... No matter where Mu Lingsha went, she had fortuitous encounters.
In the next few days, Mu Lingsha picked up four treasures and also mastered three secret cultivation techniques.
Such a huge harvest would make anyone from the Night Clan jump for joy if they were in her place.
However, Mu Lingsha's face showed no joy at this moment.
There's no such thing as a free lunch, and there won't be any pie falling from the sky.
Not to mention, before entering this Night Clan Cemetery, Mu Lingsha was aware of how dangerous it was.
But now, it was the opposite.
Ever since entering this Night Clan Cemetery, Mu Lingsha not only faced no danger but also gained many small and large opportunities every day.
Such strong luck made Mu Lingsha feel a subtle sense of unease in her heart.
"Hey, isn't this something you're doing secretly?"
Finally, unable to endure it, Mu Lingsha once again spoke to her original self.
According to her, her original self was the only person who could silently influence the Night Clan Cemetery.
Furthermore, she suspected that her original self had an ulterior motive for bringing her to this Night Clan cemetery.
Sensing the hostility and impatience in Mu Lingsha's tone, her original body finally spoke solemnly, "Rest assured. As I said before, nothing here will harm you. Moreover, we will gain tremendous benefits this time."
"Did you forget what we bet on before?"
Although the voice of Mu Lingsha's original body sounded calm, it was filled with pride.
Mu Lingsha snorted and ignored her original body.
Now, she has taken over control of her body.
If she wanted, she could even prevent her original body from appearing for a long time.
Seeing that Mu Lingsha seems to be getting angry, her original self finally speaks slowly, "I might as well tell you. The reason I'm certain we will gain tremendous benefits this time we enter the Night Clan Cemetery is because of Lin Yan's connection."
"What? What does this have to do with my master? He's not even here."
"Even though he's not here, he is a practitioner of the Law of Destiny. The Law of Destiny is one of the supreme laws, and it's also the most mysterious. Many envy it; borrowing things from us for fate blessings, enhancing our luck. This is one of the abilities of a practitioner of the Law of Destiny... Haha, you don't think I don't know. Before we left, you secretly gave Lin Yan one of my hairs."
Mu Lingsha's original body, despite being temporarily locked inside by destiny chains in her body, knew everything that was going on.
