Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 426 He's back, he's not leaving again.

Lin Youran tried to force a smile, but looking at Shen Youqing's haggard and thinning appearance, she simply couldn't manage a smile.

Lin Jinyao took two steps forward, raised her hand and patted her junior sister's head. All her words could be summed up in four words: "It's good that you're back."

Over the years, whenever they had time, they would use the communication talisman to contact Shen Youqing, and their chats never stopped.

For hundreds of years, she has always said that everything is good and only reports good news, never bad news.

Shen Youqing, holding Lin Youran's hand in one hand and Lin Jinyao's hand in the other, looked at the two senior brothers a few steps away and said, "You're back. We're not leaving."

These senior brothers and sisters over the past three hundred years have also experienced a great deal, and each of them has reached the Nascent Soul stage.

The eldest senior brother looks like he's almost at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the third senior sister is just one step away from the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and the second senior sister and the fourth senior brother are at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

If the Hehuan Sect is this aggressive, other sects must be even more aggressive.

"It's good to be back." Liang Shimu said, his deep and mellow voice like a fine vintage wine. His already reserved temperament had been tempered by the years, adding a touch of authority to his position.

Looking at his junior sister whom he hadn't seen for many years, Liang Shimu softened his expression and said, "I'll take you to complete the formalities later."

A questioning look appeared in Shen Youqing's eyes.

“We are no longer direct disciples.”

Seeing the surprise in Shen Youqing's eyes, Liang Shimu continued, "According to the sect's rules, once one's cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul stage, one is promoted to elder. I can't see through Junior Sister's current cultivation level. Are you at the Nascent Soul stage or the Integration stage?"

"Mahayana stage."

???

The four of them were instantly stunned.

After giving them enough time to process it, Shen Youqing coughed and asked, "Did Master tell you this?"

The battle at Soul Dwelling Mountain won't be easy, and they all look travel-worn, so they must have rushed back as soon as they received the news.

Coming to his senses, Liang Shimu nodded and released the white fox that had been leaping and bounding in the spirit beast space.

Shen Youqing released his two senior sisters' hands and caught the white fox, then noticed that it had grown a tail.

Liang Shimu proudly declared, "It is now a six-tailed white fox."

The miniature fox had fluffy, fragrant, and soft fur, like glutinous rice balls. It called out to Shen Youqing in a soft, cute voice.

Shen Youqing ruffled the fox's fur twice. "Its bloodline has evolved?"

“Yes, it may even evolve into a seven-tailed fox in the future,” Liang Shimu said with pride.

As a beast tamer, one hopes that one's spirit beast will grow up strong and healthy.

"Great," Shen Youqing praised.

Liang Shimu shook his head and sighed, "Compared to my junior sister, I feel like I'm going to become withdrawn."

First of all, he has not slacked off in his cultivation over the past few hundred years!
Secondly, the junior sister is really too outrageous!

The Mahayana period, lasting over three hundred years, is unprecedented and will never be repeated!

Shen Youqing shrugged and said, "It's all thanks to the Mysterious Maiden Diagram and the Chaos Pearl."

The four were not particularly shocked when they heard the news, as they had already suspected it.

Master wouldn't have needed to send his junior sister to the Heavenly Mystery Sect just because of the Demon Lord.

"I don't think Junior Sister relied on those things," Lin Youran said with heartache. "Junior Sister clearly relied on herself; she's hardworking and diligent!"

Lin Jinyao nodded.

She didn't think her junior sister was just a pretty face with empty cultivation. She believed that her junior sister had reached the Mahayana stage by taking one step at a time.

Looking at the emaciated Shen Youqing, Lin Jinyao felt both heartache and anger.

That damned demonic cultivator!
Look what they've done to their junior sister!
Shen Youqing thought for a moment, then raised his hand and waved.

Camellia blossoms fell to the ground, their double-petaled red petals dazzlingly beautiful.

The flower's core split open, forcibly spitting out the Chaos Pearl.

The Chaos Bead, now suspended in mid-air, was no longer a ball of light. Instead, it was a fist-sized, grayish-white bead with intricate patterns on its surface, and chaotic power emanated from it.

The four of them felt a surge of energy.

"Why don't you sit here and reflect on it?" Shen Youqing said.

The four of them gave Shen Youqing a grateful look and then sat down on the spot.

With nothing else to do, Shen Youqing carried the fox away from the Jade Pool to complete the procedures for becoming an elder. The elders responsible for handling these procedures were all shocked by Shen Youqing's sudden reappearance after disappearing for three hundred years.

After verifying that the disciple's token was correct, the elder asked, "What is your current cultivation level?"

"Mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm".

There were quite a few disciples going through the procedures here, and Shen Youqing's words caused the hall to fall silent instantly.

Shen Youqing formed her core early, and her face looked too young. In addition, her aura was restrained, and apart from being somewhat aloof, it was difficult to tell that she was a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The disciples looked at her with a mixture of shock and curiosity.

Where did this senior come from?

Why haven’t I seen it before?
The elder wasn't too surprised. He praised, "As expected of the previous generation's direct disciple of our Hehuan Sect!"

As he spoke, the elder took out a stone and placed it on the platform, instructing Shen Youqing to infuse it with spiritual energy.

Shen Youqing controlled her spiritual power.

After verifying Shen Youqing's cultivation level, the elder quickly completed the formalities.

Holding the newly issued elder's token and monthly allowance, Shen Youqing left with the six-tailed white fox in his arms.

"Elder, who is this senior?"

"She looks so young. She must have been in her early twenties when she reached the Core Formation stage, right?"

……

Most of the elders here are kind and approachable, so the disciples are not afraid.

Seeing the disciples crowding around to inquire about the news, the elder waved his hand and said, "Her name is Shen Youqing, a direct disciple of the previous generation."

Shen Youqing?
A name that is both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.

Upon returning to the Jade Pool, Shen Youqing saw that his senior brothers and sisters had all entered a state of enlightenment.

She set up a spirit-gathering array, and then went to sit down and drink tea.

While drinking tea, Shen Youqing used a communication talisman to contact Shen Quelin and Yue Xunzhu.

After Liang Shimu and the other three gradually woke up from their epiphany, Shen Youqing drank two cups of tea.

Before Lin Jinyao could even stand up, a little child grabbed her leg.

Looking at the exquisitely beautiful little girl, Lin Jinyao stared at her for a while before recognizing her.

Ghost baby.

"Zhu Sui, come here." Shen Youqing beckoned.

Zhu Sui let go and was in front of Shen Youqing in the blink of an eye, then grabbed her leg and climbed up.

Lin Jinyao got up and walked over, "This little guy is being raised very well by Junior Sister."

The six-tailed white fox lying on Shen Youqing's lap was held in Zhu Sui's arms; the two little creatures were both incredibly cute.

Lin Youran walked up and patted Zhu Sui's head, then said to Shen Youqing, "Thank you, Junior Sister, I've already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm!"

“I’ve reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.” Liang Shimu walked over.

Yang Yousheng stepped forward, smiling somewhat shyly, "Thank you, junior sister."

Shen Youqing waved his hand, telling them not to be so polite.

Seeing the token hanging from Shen Youqing's waist, Liang Shimu knew that her formalities were complete.

"The fighting is getting intense at Soul Mountain, we have to go there," Liang Shimu said.

Shen Youqing thought for a moment, then handed over the six-tailed white fox in his arms, saying, "I won't go there first. I'll go to the Yue family and the Shen family."

Liang Shimu nodded. "I will convey this to my master."

Seeing the six-tailed white fox turn its head and turn its back to him, Liang Shimu flicked the white-eyed fox on the head with his finger.

"You can keep it," Liang Shimu said to Shen Youqing.

He has contracted more than one spirit beast. Since this little guy wants to stay by his junior sister's side, then let him stay.

Shen Youqing looked at the fox twisting its body, trying to snuggle into his arms, and reluctantly let go.

The six-tailed white fox darted into Zhu Sui's arms.
