After her confrontation with Xiao Mei, Lady Lin found herself struggling to maintain her focus. The world of cultivation was filled with temptations—wealth, power, immortality. But as she ascended further into this world, she began to see how dangerous these temptations could be.

One evening, while walking through the marketplace, she encountered a merchant who offered her an elixir that promised to accelerate her cultivation. It was a tempting offer, one that could help her reach new heights more quickly, but something in the merchant’s eyes told her that the elixir might not be as harmless as it seemed.

«Take it, Lady Lin,» the merchant coaxed. «With this elixir, you could surpass all your rivals in a matter of days.»

Lady Lin hesitated. She had always been taught that shortcuts in cultivation were dangerous. Power gained through dishonest means could corrupt a person, corrupt their soul.

As she turned to leave, the merchant’s voice followed her. «Think about it, Lady Lin. Power is within your reach. All you have to do is accept it.»

But Lady Lin walked away, determined to stay true to the path of hard work and perseverance. The road to immortality was long, but she knew that only by maintaining her integrity could she hope to achieve it.After her confrontation with Xiao Mei, Lady Lin found herself struggling to maintain her focus.
