Chapter 233 The Beginning of the Rumor
"But what?"

"Recently, there has been a rumor in Danfeng about Wei Yunqing."

After hearing this, Yun Xi raised an eyebrow and asked:
"What rumors?"

"It is about the spiritual plant cultivated by Wei Yunqing and Ye Shaohua. It is said to be a fifth-order spiritual plant, which can help the user break through a major realm even if it is not refined into a pill."

"Oh? You believe that?"

Yunxi asked with a smile.

Zong Hao glanced at Yun Xi and then said:

"I don't believe Wei Yunqing has such great abilities, but since you asked me to bring Dian Dian into the spirit herb field last time, I've started to believe it. I just don't know how much of this rumor is true."

Zong Hao wasn't stupid. Yun Xi and Yun Qing had always been at odds. Last time, he even specially sent Diandian to investigate the spiritual plants Yun Qing was cultivating. So he had some guesses, but he hadn't paid attention to them before because the rumor hadn't spread. Now it seems to have something to do with Yun Xi.

Yunxi chuckled and directly transmitted the words "Enlightenment Fruit Tree" into her voice. Zong Hao's expression froze as if a pause button had been pressed. The next moment, he looked at her with disbelief. She nodded slightly to indicate that what she said was true.

Zong Hao then opened his mouth wide and stammered:
"How is this possible? Even True Monarch Yu Huo couldn't find a high-level spiritual tree, how could she have one? That thing only grows in places where the power of laws is abundant, can it even survive in the spiritual fields of Danfeng?"
Yunxi, I believe you, but this...this is too unbelievable.

After Zong Hao finished expressing his thoughts, he began rubbing his hands together, trying to guess the chances of successful planting.

Yunxi snapped her fingers, bringing Zong Hao back to his senses, and said with a smile:

"It's a mutated sapling, so the requirements aren't that strict. Perhaps it's because Yun Qing's wood spirit root is quite special that she was able to cultivate it successfully."

Zong Hao snapped out of his daze and listened to Yun Xi's explanation, feeling somewhat relieved. He realized his earlier fright had been for nothing, and rubbed his face, saying:
"Yunxi, why didn't you just finish what you were saying? You made me so excited for so long."

Yun Xi smiled and replied:

"So you can experience how I feel when I discover Yun Qing's little secret, and you won't be so shocked when you encounter things in the future."

Zong Hao gave Yun Xi a helpless look, then asked:
"Did you spread the rumors?"

"Yes! I want her to end up with nothing. Although that spirit tree isn't that magical, it can still help her break through to the Golden Core stage."

Zong Hao asked in surprise:
"Are you afraid she'll make things difficult for you after she reaches the Core Formation stage?"

“I’m not afraid of that, but I don’t want her to enter the new secret realm of Baohua Mountain.”

Yun Xi spoke the truth.

"Is that new secret realm in the Baohua Mountains about to open?"

Zong Hao clearly wasn't paying attention to this kind of news.

"Yes, in five months, the minimum cultivation level required to enter is the Golden Core stage."

"Even with the help of the spirit tree, she may not be able to successfully form her core."

Zong Hao's first concern was the success rate of forming the Golden Core.

“Zong Hao, there are some things you don’t know. She will definitely be able to form her core, which is why I set up some obstacles for her. I’m telling you this because I’m afraid Wei Yunqing will ask you to help her refine pills. To avoid causing you trouble, you’d better avoid her.”

Zong Hao nodded in agreement:
"I understand. After my clansmen arrive and I meet my parents, I will take on a mission to leave the sect and gain experience. My cultivation has reached a bottleneck. If I want to advance to the late Foundation Establishment stage, I need to go out and gain experience."

“Indeed, it’s not good to always be refining pills in the sect. You also need to go out and experience trials. Look at me, I advanced another small level this time I went out.”

Zong Hao's eyes widened again as he said:
"You've advanced again?"

"Yes, I'm currently at the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. I plan to raise my cultivation to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm before entering the new secret realm, and ideally, I can condense my Nascent Soul within the secret realm." Yunxi spoke earnestly about her cultivation progress.

Zong Han rubbed his forehead and said:

"Yunxi, please spare your brother's life! If you keep advancing like this, I'm afraid you'll ascend to immortality while I'm still stuck in the Golden Core stage!"

Yunxi immediately waved her hand with a smile and said:
"No, absolutely not! I have confidence in your abilities!"

After exchanging a few jokes, Zong Hao, at Yun Xi's insistence, took her to the spirit herb field, with the aim of "accidentally" meeting Wei Yunqing.

Zong Hao sensed that Yun Xi definitely had ill intentions, but he still cooperated actively. Guided by the little flying butterfly, the two of them happened to meet Wei Yunqing at the entrance of the spirit herb field.

Wei Yunqing had just finished looking at the Enlightenment Fruit Tree and was humming a song happily as she prepared to return to her residence when she saw Wei Yunxi and Wei Zonghao. Her good mood vanished instantly, and her face fell.

However, seeing Wei Yunxi clearly blocking her way, she gritted her teeth and still cupped her hands in greeting:

"Uncle-Master Wei, it's been a long time!"

Yunxi smiled, revealing a pair of dimples, and accepted the bow with composure before speaking:

"Yes! It's been a long time since I've seen you. How come your cultivation hasn't slackened at all? No wonder Uncle Yu Huo didn't take you as his personal disciple."

Yunxi's words struck Wei Yunqing's heart like a sharp knife. She struggled to control her contorted expression, forcing a smile as she said:
“My junior brother has limited abilities and no one to guide him. He has to rely entirely on himself for cultivation, so naturally he can’t compare to his senior brother.”

Yunxi nodded solemnly and said:

“You’re right, but I think the main problem is that you haven’t had enough experience. Look at how you trained all the way back to your family last time, and your cultivation level improved to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.”
But look, you haven't left the sect since you returned, and your cultivation hasn't increased. Don't always bury yourself in cultivating spiritual plants. Learn from me and go out of the sect to gain more experience.

"My cultivation has improved again after this trip out of the sect. I'm now at the peak of the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and I plan to go into seclusion in a couple of days to try and break through to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm."

After speaking, he released a hint of pressure to prove that he was not lying.

But this self-justification almost made Wei Yunqing vomit blood with anger. This was blatant boasting.

But this time, Yun Qing suppressed all her expressions, because she knew very well that the gap was too big, and she didn't even have the right to make sarcastic remarks.

She originally thought that she was only one Golden Core away from Yunxi, but unknowingly, the other party had already left her far behind. Even if she reached the Golden Core stage, she would still be no match for Wei Yunxi.

Wei Yunqing pursed her lips and cupped her hands in greeting:

"Thank you for your guidance, Uncle Wei. I will remember it and leave the sect to gain some experience in a while."

Yun Xi was surprised that Yun Qing had actually learned to control her expressions. She narrowed her eyes and said:

"Alright, then I won't delay your cultivation any longer."

After saying that, he and Zong Hao entered the medicinal herb field together.

Wei Yunqing hurried back to her residence.

After confirming that Yun Qing had left, Zong Hao said to Yun Xi:

"She's too calm. Did you overreact?"

Yunxi narrowed her eyes dangerously and said:
"Either erupt in silence or die in silence. I'll wait and see what she chooses."

Zong Hao didn't know how to persuade her, as this was something he couldn't really get involved in. So he took Yun Xi to the spirit herb field to select spirit plant seedlings, because Yun Xi said she wanted to refine beast spirit pills for Dian Dian herself, and some commonly used spirit plants could be planted on Ling Xue Peak.

After returning to the courtyard and dispelling the protective barrier, Wei Yunqing finally dropped all pretense and roared hysterically:
"Why? By what right? I'm not reconciled!"
