Junior Sister must ascend this time!

Lin Xu tossed the five people into the training ground, pulled out a stack of talismans, and said, "My training method is very simple. See these talismans?"

"I will randomly throw out these talismans in a moment, and you can use any method to counter them. As long as you can dodge, block, or disable them, you will pass the level."

"Are you ready?"

"three……"

"two……"

The five had just drawn their magical artifacts to defend themselves when Linxu's frost talisman exploded in front of them, leaving the "ice sculptures" utterly speechless...

"Master, you're cheating!"

"Uncle-Master, throwing it before even counting to one doesn't count!"

Lin Xu spread out a stack of talismans and fanned himself. "Then you can only blame your slow reaction. Have you ever seen anyone give a heads-up before throwing talismans?"

"Practice makes perfect, try again!"

"…………Grass!"

As soon as the Frost Rune expired, the Smoke Rune exploded in mid-air, instantly obscuring the five people's vision with grayish-white smoke.

Cen Ning took out the Wind-Guiding Banner and, together with Si Mingche's Fog-Dispelling Talisman, the five of them were able to see clearly again.

At this moment, fireball talismans, falling rock talismans, and flying needle talismans came one after another, giving them no time to catch their breath.

"Aww!!"

"@%#$#……"

In an instant, cries of anguish and the sounds of birdsong and fragrant flowers filled the air.

Lin Xu immediately understood the joy Mingyuan had in the morning: fun, playful, and lots of fun!

After a round of "frozen, roasted, fried, and grilled" by the talisman, the five kids were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

When Yuehua came to claim it, she even regretted not going to the canteen to get some seasoning powder.

She touched Yun Qing and Jiang Mian's faces affectionately, "Tsk tsk tsk, why didn't you remember to avoid exploding your faces? Look how badly they've been damaged, they don't even look good anymore."

Si Mingche grabbed Yuehua's sleeve and said pitifully, "Uncle-Master, we admit defeat. Please stop torturing us like this, waaaah..."

Yuehua patted his head. "Don't be afraid, little nephew. I'm not like those stinky men. How could I bear to torment you?"

"Let's go, I'll take you to rest and relax!"

Jiang Mian's face was full of disbelief. "Master, please stop trying to fool us. Uncle-Master Linxu just said that he would be very gentle."

Yuehua flicked him on the forehead. "How many times have I told you? Call me Beautiful Master!"

Jiang Mian covered his head, "Beautiful Master."

When they arrived at the spirit pool, the five of them looked at each other, but none of them went down.

Si Mingche: "Really soaking in the spirit pool? Is Senior Aunt Yuehua really that kind?"

Yun Qing: "Something's definitely fishy... Senior Brother, you go down first!"

Pei Shubai: "Second Junior Sister was bombed the most times just now, so you should go first."

Cen Ning: "I... how about Fourth Junior Brother goes first?"

Jiang Mian: "...Master, I..."

"Get down!" Yuehua kicked Jiang Mian down. "What do you mean, 'you'? Stop dawdling."

She looked at the remaining four people, "Will you go down yourselves, or should I help you?"

"I'll do it, Master, we'll do it ourselves."

Yun Qing quickly kicked the other three people down and then jumped in herself.

As soon as she entered the spirit pool, gentle spiritual energy enveloped her entire body, and Yun Qing instantly felt all her fatigue relieved—it felt so comfortable!

This spirit pool is a bit small for five people to soak in together. Next time, I'll take my senior brothers and sisters to the spirit spring in the spirit beast garden.

While the five people were enjoying themselves with their eyes closed, Yuehua squatted by the pool. There was a large bucket of dark liquid at her feet, which was bubbling away.

Yuehua poured the unknown liquid into the container all at once. To ensure the effect was not satisfactory, she also took out several spiritual plants from her storage ring and threw them in.

"hiss!"

Why does it suddenly hurt a little?

Yun Qing was the first to open her eyes. Seeing Yuehua continuously throwing spiritual plants, she twitched her lips. "Master, are you going to refine us into pills?"

Yuehua slowly and deliberately performed a cleansing spell on herself.

"How could that be? This is a medicinal bath that I carefully prepared for you to strengthen your bodies. Don't waste my efforts."

"Ouch! That hurts so much, I can't take it anymore!..."

Si Mingche was about to climb ashore when Yuehua forcefully pressed him back down, saying, "You're not allowed to come up until two hours have passed!"

"Cultivation isn't just about cultivating the spirit; the most important thing is tempering the body! With your small physiques, you wouldn't even have time to unleash your full potential before being punched away by a body cultivator. What's the use of having high cultivation levels then?"

"Starting today, you have to come here every day for a two-hour medicinal bath. Do you understand?!"

Si Mingche cried, "Master is right, the more beautiful a woman is, the faster she changes her expression!"

Two hours later, Yan Li and Xuan Wei arrived.

With a blade of grass in his mouth and arms crossed, Yan Li looked at the five people who looked utterly hopeless. "Oh~ they're well-marinated. Perfect, we'll take them back to Lei Chi and treat the four elders to barbecue tonight."

Yun Qing stubbornly raised her middle finger, "You win!"

Yan Li pressed her middle finger down, and their eyes glared at each other. "You unfilial disciple!"

Xuanwei pulled the two apart. "Alright, stop fooling around!"

"You five pack your things and come with me and Yan Li to the training ground."

Despite their playful antics, no one dared to disobey Elder Xuanwei; they all followed him like quails.

After the group arrived at the training ground, Xuanwei said, "Yanli and I have designed a sword formation for you. It's not very complicated, but it's enough for you."

"In the next two weeks, the five of you must learn this, cooperate with each other, and give full play to your strengths."

Si Mingche slowly raised his hand. "Senior Uncle, my second senior sister and I aren't sword cultivators, so how can we integrate into the sword formation?"

Yan Li gave him a flick on the forehead. "Who said you can only use swords inside a sword formation?"

"I've assigned you and Cen Ning two support positions. Your talisman and her whip can also work in conjunction with the sword light, making it both offensive and defensive."

"Elder Xuanwei and I will demonstrate it for you. Watch carefully."

To better demonstrate, Yan Li and Xuan Wei suppressed their cultivation levels to the Golden Core stage, and each stood in a different position.

Then, Xuanwei took out three puppets from his storage ring and replaced the other three positions.

Yan Li drew his sword first, and Xuan Wei and one of the puppets appeared simultaneously to fill the gap. The other two puppets, imitating Si Mingche and Cen Ning, moved in coordination with the sword light using talismans and whips.

Three sword lights lit up simultaneously from different directions, extending forward along their respective pre-set routes, converging at the center of the formation, and then converging along the same trajectory at the same instant, merging into a thicker silver-white pillar of light.

Finally, the white beam shot into the sky, splitting the neighboring mountain in two. Rocks tumbled down, dust billowed, and the entire mountain was ripped open with a neat crack in the middle.

After a long day of work, Pu Hengzhi was about to return to the peak to rest when he saw that only half of the mountain remained. He was stunned...

I went out for a while, and my home is gone...

"My mountains! My home! Give me back my home!"

"Pay up! You owe me money!"
