Junior Sister must ascend this time!

Yun Qing was furious when she saw her empty waist. Touching her storage bag? He's asking for death!

After the trial is over, she wants to have a storage artifact welded to her body custom-made!

However, the most important thing now is to retrieve the storage bag, which contains not only a lot of spiritual essence but also all the flags obtained this time.

She gripped her spirit sword and searched the surroundings, trying to find the burrowing rat's hole.

The misty forest was shrouded in fog, and Yun Qing almost lost her way.

Just then, the tip of the "Never Mind" sword pointed in one direction, its blade trembling as if trying to break free from her grasp.

Yun Qing released her grip, letting the spirit sword fly forward.

The spirit sword flew out of her hand, and Yun Qing followed behind, weaving and twisting.

Finally, the spirit sword stopped on a piece of land. It was so anxious that it kept flying around in circles, sometimes to Yun Qing's hand and sometimes back to that piece of land.

"You want me to dig the ground?"

Yun Qing asked tentatively.

"Never mind," he said, shaking his head to indicate nodding.

Yun Qing squatted down; the spiritual energy here was indeed more concentrated than in other places.

She was about to start digging when she realized she hadn't brought any tools.

So she shifted her gaze to "Never mind," and the corners of her mouth slowly curved into a smile.

Hehehe………

"Never mind": ...Don't come any closer!

Yun Qing chuckled and said, "Just give in to me. Don't worry, I'll clean things up for you afterwards."

"Never mind": Why does this phrase sound so strange?

What else could it do but let Yun Qing hold it, sword tip pointing downwards, and force it to become a shovel.

"Never mind," he thought, and after digging for half an hour, he finally dug out a small hole.

Yun Qing kicked open the small hole, and the opening was just big enough for one person to go in.

Yun Qing crawled inside without hesitation because she seemed to see something shiny.

Many spirit stones, spirit artifacts, and flags were piled up in the burrow of the earth-dwelling rat.

She had barely stepped into the cave when the burrowing rat suddenly appeared and threw a handful of poison powder at her.

The burrowing rat was delighted; she had come in on her own, so it shouldn't blame it for keeping her here.

But it waited for a long time and didn't hear the sound of the clouds falling. Had the poison powder lost its effectiveness? Impossible! It worked on the previous person.

The burrowing rat looked up and saw Yun Qing smiling at it. Then, she grabbed it and held a large rock in her other hand, aiming it at its mandibles.

"Speak! What exactly happened? Why did you steal my storage bag? If you don't explain yourself, I'll knock your teeth out!"

The most valuable asset of a burrowing rat is its incisors; without them, it's nothing...

Now that things had come to this, it had no choice but to obediently confess, "Squeak, squeak, squeak squeak squeak, squeak..."

Yun Qing: ? ? ? ? ?

"What are you chattering about?"

"It said it stole the storage bag simply because it likes shiny things. It didn't mean to hurt you."

A voice came from the corner, and Yun Qing looked over and saw a person tied up there, dressed in the robes of an inner disciple of the Chengtian Sect.

"You're also a disciple who came here for the trial? Why can you understand what it's saying?"

The disciple twisted his body with difficulty. "Yes, I've been here since the first day of the trial. I can understand it because I'm a beast tamer."

Yun Qing's lips twitched. How did the beast tamer end up being tamed by beasts...?

She directed the "Never Mind" sword to fly over and sever the ropes binding the disciple.

The disciple bowed to her, "Thank you for saving me, Senior Sister. My surname is Lan, and my name is Lan Bowan. Please feel free to ask me for help if you ever need me."

Yun Qing didn't stand on ceremony and said directly, "I need you right now."

Lambo didn't react in time and exclaimed "Ah!"

Yun Qing explained, "What I mean is, could you translate what it's saying for me now?"

"Okay, okay." Lan Bowan nodded obediently; he was good at this.

Yun Qing looked at the burrowing rat again, "Then what's with these flags? Are you sure they're just for spirit stones?"

Burrowing Rat: "Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

Lanbowan: "It said it knew that the people who came in this time were there to fight for these flags, so it brought all the nearby flags back to the cave in advance. When people came, it used the flags to lure them, and then stole the storage bags when they were off guard."

Yun Qing, the "victim," flicked its forehead hard, gritted her teeth, and asked, "You're quite clever, aren't you? Where's my storage bag?"

The burrowing rat cowardly pointed in a direction, and Lan Bowan very readily helped Yun Qing retrieve it.

Yun Qing used her divine sense to confirm that the spirit marrow and flag were still inside. She then tossed the burrowing rat aside and said to Lan Bowan, "What are you standing there for? Take all the spirit stones and flags here."

"Is this really okay? Shouldn't we leave some for it?" Lan Bowan said this, but his body betrayed him as he quickly swiped spirit stones into his storage bag.

Soon, all the spirit stones and magical artifacts in the cave were swept away. The burrowing rat in the corner could no longer bear it and began to cry out, "Squeak squeak squeak, squeak squeak squeak squeak..."

Lambowan translated: "Oh God, how could I be so unlucky! All the glitter I collected for so long is gone! Gone..."

"I robbed so many people, and not one of them could find me. These two... these two are so wicked!!! Wow!!! One's stingy, and the other's full of tricks..."

Yun Qing ignored it and instead looked at Lan Bowan with some curiosity, "Others only had their storage bags stolen, why were you taken back to the cave by it?"

Lan Bowan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Because I refused to give it a storage bag, which is a collection of spirit stones that I've been saving for a long time!"

I...I hid the storage bag somewhere no one would expect it, and it got furious and knocked me unconscious, and then...I ended up here."

Yun Qing: …………

After the two of them looted the cave, they left. Yun Qing looked down at her wrist and noticed that the tender green leaves of the small wooden stick had turned somewhat withered and yellow.

Could it be that it absorbed the poison powder, which is why she wasn't poisoned and knocked unconscious?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, I will reward you with a small wooden stick soaked in the spiritual spring water when we get back.

Yun Qing counted the flags she had taken from the cave; there were fifty in total, and she planned to split them equally with Lan Bowan.

But Lan Bowan refused to accept it no matter what, saying that he didn't know if he could have come out alive without Yun Qing.

After some refusals, Yun Qing took forty sheets, which, together with what she already had, made a total of one hundred and twenty sheets.

Clearly, Yun Qing won first place in this competition.

After she left the Trial Valley, she was surrounded by the elders.

Elder Linxu spoke first: "Congratulations on winning first place in the trial. You are now officially the fifth personal disciple of our Chengtian Sect."

He straightened his robes, cleared his throat twice, and said, "Since that's the case, would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Si Mingche, standing to the side, nodded frantically. "Please promise me, Master, then you'll be my dear junior sister!"

The usually serious Elder Xuanwei changed his tune, pushed Linxu aside, and said to Yun Qing with a smile, "You are a sword cultivator, so naturally you should become my disciple. I guarantee I can make you the number one swordsman of this generation."

Pei Shubai: ...You said the same thing when I became your disciple last time. Master, love me again?
