Junior Sister must ascend this time!

In the end, Gu Changfeng was still dragged back to his courtyard by his own sect leader.

The Xuanming Sect Master sat beside him and poured him a cup of spiritual wine. "Good disciple, you are more sensible than your master. From now on, try to build a good relationship with Xiaoyun and try to bring her back to the sect. Do you understand?"

"what?"

Gu Changfeng froze, his hand holding the wine glass still frozen. Had the sect leader poisoned him?

No, it should be that Yun Qing poisoned the sect leader. What does he mean by that?

Seeing that Gu Changfeng remained motionless, the Xuanming Sect leader glared at him and said, "If you're not going to drink, get out!"

Gu Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Great, it's back to normal.

He looked up at the five people from Chengtian Sect. How could they be so relaxed and carefree, drinking and grilling meat, even with all seven sect leaders present?

No, he couldn't sit still like a pins and needles, so he took out his communication jade.

"Shen Qingchen, Pei Shubai and the others are eating roasted spirit beast meat. Hurry up and bring Lu Xingzhou over for a free meal. If we're late, I'm going to have a drunken sword dance with him..."

"No fighting, there's excitement! Come quick!"

"Qin Mu, Yun Qing has a new spirit beast again..."

"Yue Heng,..."

"Ling Yue,..."

Then…

Shen Qingchen and Lu Xingzhou: "Just passing by."

Wu Zheng: "Amitabha, I was sleepwalking."

Qin Mu: "The spirit beast is running around, come and look for it."

Yue Heng: "I've been possessed."

Ling Yue: "You took the wrong medicine."

When they were dragged into the courtyard by their respective sect leaders, they all looked at Gu Changfeng with murderous intent in their eyes.

Gu Changfeng instantly relaxed. Compared to the pressure from the seven sect leaders, what was this?

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the abbot of the Sumeru Sect ate the first bite of the spirit beast's flesh. "What are you looking at? Did I come here just to watch you eat? Sending them westward isn't considered saving all sentient beings?"

He then elegantly wiped his mouth, "It's just that my grilling skills are really terrible, what a sin..."

Yun Qing's brow twitched uncontrollably, and her lips twitched. "These words sound so familiar. No wonder he was able to accept Wu Zheng as his chief disciple."

The sect leader of Zhenyue Sect stuffed his mouth full and mumbled, "Really? I think it's delicious."

The abbot of the Sumeru sect stood up and said, "Today I will show you what real roasted meat is like."

He walked to the grill, put his hands together in prayer, and said, "Amitabha, please forgive me."

Everyone: ...Strangely polite, with a kind of calm madness that invites you to your death.

A moment later, the roasted meat served by the abbot of the Sumeru Sect was served. The head of the Zhenyue Sect was not very confident in his cooking skills and had to do a lot of mental preparation before taking the first bite.

Then his eyes widened, "Don't...don't eat any of it!"

Thinking it was poisoned, everyone quickly withdrew their bites of spirit beast meat and put them back on the table.

The next second, the Zhenyue Sect Leader, Feng Juan Canyun, stuffed all the meat on the table into his mouth, exclaiming, "It's so delicious! Don't try to take it from me!"

Everyone: …………

Towards the end of the meal, the leaders, driven by their competitive spirit, insisted on having a competition to see who could grill the meat the best.

So the scene turned into the seven sect leaders grilling, while the disciples ate...

After the individual competition, in order to allow everyone to recover and heal, the leaders rescheduled the team competition for five days later.

Fortunately, Yun Qing has stopped going out these past few days and has been staying in her room to cultivate.

Their Chengtian Sect's performance in the individual competition was too outstanding, and they will definitely become the target of everyone's criticism in the team competition. She absolutely cannot drag them down.

Moreover, she had a gut feeling that the Immortal Alliance would make a move after the team competition, which might be detrimental to the Seven Sects.

As usual, Yun Qing set up a barrier, then crushed the spiritual marrow and began meditating and cultivating.

Xue Tuan rolled over beside her, and after accidentally glancing at her wrist, she instantly woke up and started circling around Yun Qing.

Yun Qing, unable to bear it any longer, gritted her teeth and said, "If you make another sound, I'll throw you into the spirit beast pouch and never let you out again!"

Xue Tuan quickly contacted her using her divine sense, "Do you know what's on your wrist?"

Yun Qing raised her hand and glanced at it. "I don't know. It's probably a healing-type spiritual plant, but I haven't been able to find out what it is yet."

Xue Tuan looked at him with exasperation, "This is a branch of the ancient divine tree, Fusang! Its greatest function is that when activated by spiritual power, it can form its own domain, capable of killing people invisibly."

"And you! You only see it as a piece of wood that can heal wounds, which is the most useless of all its functions."

Yun Qing removed the small wooden stick from her wrist, and it returned to its slender shape. "...A branch of the hibiscus tree?"

Snowball jumped onto her lap and circled the small wooden stick once: "The Fusang tree is an ancient divine tree. Legend has it that its branches possess their own domain power. As long as you activate it with spiritual power, you can form an independent space around yourself. In that space, you are the rule-maker."

Yun Qing looked down at the quiet little wooden stick in her palm. It was a self-contained domain, a rule-maker... This was a good thing!

Sure enough, no idle creatures are kept around the sacred spring!

Yun Qing tentatively infused a wisp of spiritual energy into it.

The small wooden stick trembled slightly in her palm, and a very faint green light appeared on its surface.

then……

And that was it. The green light quickly went out, and there was nothing unusual around.

Yun Qing looked at Xue Tuan: "...That's it?"

Xue Tuan was also stunned: "This shouldn't be the case. The hibiscus branch should be very strong. Did you inject spiritual energy incorrectly?"

Yun Qing tried again, channeling her spiritual energy along her meridians into the small wooden stick. The green light flashed for a moment, then went out.

She stared at it for a while, then wrapped it back around her wrist: "Never mind, it's probably still asleep."

Xuetuan scoffed, "Just say it's bad, you're so old and still so concerned about saving face..."

Yun Qing stared coldly at it, "Say that again? I promise I won't hit you..."

The snowball instantly curled up into a ball. "I mean, the fact that even the branches of the hibiscus tree recognize you as their master is amazing!"

Yun Qing proudly raised her head, "That's right! My personal charm is just that great; everything is attracted to me, it's so annoying..."

"Not only did the Golden Feathered Vulture form a contract with me, but even the Rootless Tree stubbornly followed me. This must be the burden of being a beautiful woman."

Xue Tuan glanced at her furtively. "Leaving aside how you tricked the Golden Feathered Vulture into a contract, the Rootless Tree wasn't following you because of your charm."

Yun Qing raised an eyebrow. "Do you know why it insists on following me?"

The snowball jumped onto her shoulder, "Because of the power of the Heavenly Dao within you."

She yanked the rootless wood out of her storage ring. "Tonight I'll turn you into lightning-struck wood!"

The rootless tree trembled, and its attempt to fly to the top of the cloud stopped.

Snowball, who had been gloating, suddenly felt a chill run down its spine as a gaze stared straight at it, as if trying to see right through it.

"How do you know I possess the power of the Heavenly Dao?"
