On this day, Wu Ning was sitting cross-legged under a peach tree. The Crimson Sun Flame in his eyes was burning fiercely.
During the past three years, he had already cultivated the Crimson Sun Flame Scripture to its limit. He could easily produce the Crimson Sun Flame that could raze a lake to the ground.
He looked at the formation mark.

Wu Ning frowned. In three years, there were not many changes.
Firstly, he was still growing. Secondly, he had already descended for three years, and he had yet to find a way to gain Comprehension Points.
In these three years, he had also tried to teach everyone ethics, knowledge, and laws, but it was all useless. The system notification had not even rung once.
Wu Ning did not feel tired from this. He already had a plan in mind.
'If I really can't find a way, then I can only search for the resources of this world,' Wu Ning thought to himself.
Relying on his powerful soul power, he could achieve twice the results using merely half of his power.
However, Wu Ning would use his soul to search for resources every once in a while in Mara City. There were no valuable resources to be found though.
In the evening, after the sunset, and the dark clouds rolled down from the horizon, there were all kinds of ghosts in the dark clouds. It was despair to live in this world.
If it were not for Wu Ning's protection, his mother would have been swallowed by the ghosts long ago.
Fire flashed in Wu Ning's eyes. Soon, the ghosts were repelled, and the dark clouds that followed returned to the horizon.
Wu Ning's mother came to inform him that it was time for dinner. Wu Ning came back to his senses and returned to the dining room.
Just like that, another three years passed.
Wu Ning still did not find a way to gain Comprehension Points.
On this day, Wu Ning repelled the ghosts again. Looking at the dark clouds that retreated to the horizon, Wu Ning had a sudden idea. He really wanted to chase after the dark clouds and see what was behind them.
Therefore, after dinner that night, Wu Ning told his mother that he was going on a long trip.
Wu Ning's mother only glanced at him and did not say anything. After dinner, she quietly began to pack up Wu Ning's luggage.
Wu Ning did not stop his mother. Although he did not need those things, it was a mother's love for her child. Wu Ning just sat there and quietly watched his mother going about.
The next morning, Wu Ning set off. On the way, he chased the dark clouds and killed ghosts while searching for resources in this world.
In the evening, Wu Ning killed another wave of ghosts. Looking at the retreating dark clouds, Wu Ning felt that the ghosts this time were much stronger than the previous places.
It seemed that he was not far from the lair of the dark clouds. However, Wu Ning was not in a hurry. He had plenty of time, so he first found a shabby temple to sleep in.
When he walked into the shabby temple, the most eye-catching thing was the Dark Buddha.
Wu Ning frowned as he looked at the Dark Buddha. Generally speaking, the Buddha that was worshipped in the temple was the Tathagata Buddha. At the very least, it was Guan Gong or some other kind of deity.
However, the Buddha that was worshipped in this temple was the Dark Buddha instead. Wu Ning could not fathom why.
Well, he wasn't going to waste his energy in figuring it out. Wu Ning shook his head, picked out a slightly cleaner place, cleaned it up, and went to sleep.
Wu Ning did not sleep for long before the Dark Buddha started to move. The corners of Wu Ning's mouth curled up, but he did not open his eyes.
Finally, the being that was the Dark Buddha started to move. It walked up to Wu Ning and started sizing him up.
Wu Ning suddenly opened his eyes and jumped at the being. Wu Ning immediately used the Crimson Sun Flame to weave a huge net to control that being.
The cultivation of the being was probably not high. It did not even have time to dodge before it was covered by the net woven by the Crimson Sun Flame.
Wu Ning looked at the thing. It looked a little familiar, but he could not remember where she had seen it before.
At this moment, the thing said, "Wu Ning, spare me. I didn't mean to disturb your sleep."
Wu Ning was puzzled. This thing actually recognized him. He reached out and removed the cloak on the thing. What appeared under the cloak was not the ghost that Wu Ning imagined, but a fair and clean little girl.
This girl was none other than Yi Baiqing.
Wu Ning asked her, "Why are you here?"
Yi Baiqing was covered by the Crimson Sun Flame net and did not dare to move. She could only answer honestly, "I was forced to release those ghosts here."
"Forced? What is going on? Why did you release those ghosts?" Wu Ning asked in confusion.
"I don't know either. I was caught not long after I arrived in this Otherworld. Then, I was sent here to collect the ghosts of people who had just died. I put these ghosts into the Dark Buddha and corrupted them to increase their power. Then, I let them go out to harm people. As for why the people who captured me did this, I don't know either," Yi Baiqing said, feeling wronged.
Seeing that she wasn't lying, Wu Ning dismissed Crimson Sun Flame net with a wave of his hand.
Yi Baiqing immediately knelt after obtaining her freedom. "Wu Ning, I hope to become your servant and serve you for the rest of my life. I hope that you can give me a chance."
Wu Ning did not know what to say. Why did good girls always want to be his servant?
Wu Ning shook his head and refused, Yi Baiqing continued, "You won't lose out if you take me as your servant. When we get out, you can order my people around. Besides, didn't you investigate the Dark Buddha earlier? I can be your insider and help you find out the truth about the Dark Buddha."
Wu Ning stroked his chin. It was not impossible to take Yi Baiqing as a servant. Although the Yi family was nothing to him, it was better to have a subordinate than nothing.
Furthermore, Wu Ning's business experience in his previous life had taught him the importance of a team. Wu Ning was thinking about whether he should establish a sect as well. This way, he would not have to do anything all by himself. Furthermore, he would have a bodyguard following him when he went out.
However, this matter had to be discussed after he got out. For now, it was better to settle the problem in front of him.
Wu Ning glanced at her and asked, "Yi Baiqing, why do you want to be my servant?"
Yi Baiqing's face was filled with bitterness. "I used to be the glory of our family. In the eyes of the other young talents, I was the goddess of ice and snow. But after entering the teleportation array, I was nothing."
"Especially this time. Not long after I descended, I was captured by them to work for them. If they succeed, I'm afraid that they will take advantage us, the weaker descenders, even more. In the end, they will even rob us of our treasures."
As she said this, she let out a deep sigh. "The teleportation array was even crueler than I imagined it to be, so I'd rather be your servant and serve you for the rest of my life."
Wu Ning's expression was indifferent. "Become my servant, and everything about you will be under my control. You won't have any freedom, and everything you gain from the teleportation array will be completely mine. You... have to think this through carefully."
It was already very outstanding for Yi Baiqing to receive an A grade evaluation in the first descent. Even though they had clashed during their previous descent, if the other party was really willing to become a servant, Wu Ning would still be very willing to accept it.
A servant meant the loyalty of the soul and could never be betrayed. Of course, after giving up their freedom, the servant would also gain a lot.
If Wu Ning was willing, she could accompany him to the other world.
Yi Baiqing did not hesitate. She knelt at Wu Ning's feet and said, "I am willing to be your servant."
Wu Ning smiled in satisfaction.
