I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

After distributing the pills to several senior brothers, Ye Qiao did not sell the remaining pills but instead hoarded them for her own use.

For some reason, Xue Yu's smile froze when he heard that she still had that lump of pills.

He thought for a moment and said gently, "It's good that Junior Sister has this intention."

But it's really unnecessary!

Ye Qiao was unaware of his inner cries and thought her third senior brother was too moved to speak. She smiled and said, "It's okay. For you all, I will continue to work hard to become stronger."

Xue Yu's inner thoughts: No!! You're already very strong, you don't need to work any harder.

Unaware of her senior brother's smile, which was more like a grimace, Ye Qiao hummed a song as she returned to her courtyard, then picked up her brush to draw talismans.

She didn't memorize those dozen or so talisman books for nothing.

Ye Qiao tore off the worn-out Spirit Gathering Talisman and redraw it. With the rich spiritual energy of the main peak and the effect of the Spirit Gathering Talisman, she had already reached the threshold of Foundation Establishment. She just needed some more time, and Foundation Establishment wouldn't be so difficult.

Several inner sect elders of Changming Sect were having a meeting when Duan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "That girl Ye Qiao is stuck at the peak of Qi Refining. I was thinking that we should have them prepare and go to the secret realm together in a few days to train."

"A secret realm has opened in Cloud City. The other four sects will probably send their disciples down there for training, which is a good opportunity for them to hone their skills."

Although they have no hope of winning the Changming Sect Grand Competition, apart from Ye Qiao, the disciples of this year are all quite talented, and they should still go for the training they need to go through.

Elder Zhao frowned, thinking of the lump of unknown stuff Ye Qiao had cooked, and silently nodded: "I agree."

Get that brat out of here right now.

If he didn't leave soon, he feared that the next day the forums of the cultivation world would be filled with news: "Is the Elder of Changming Sect beating up his personal disciple a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay?"

Qin Fanfan said, "Since none of you have any objections, then let these children go."

He felt that if these little brats didn't go out and gain experience, the Changming Sect would be torn apart by them.

How long has it been since they dared to burn down the library?

Qin Fanfan had a strange premonition that the sect competition next year would be very lively ever since he took on this little disciple.

Steward Yu exclaimed, "The Sect Master is wise!"

Finally, those little brats were driven away.

If it weren't for the rule against lighting fires, he would have loved to go out and set off two strings of firecrackers to celebrate.

……

"Junior Sister".

Xue Yu knocked on the door and wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the spiritual energy in his junior sister's courtyard was even stronger than it had been a few days ago.

Hearing the commotion, Ye Qiao was frantically absorbing the spiritual energy within her body. She had a premonition that she was about to establish her foundation, perhaps within the next few days. Hearing a knock on the door, the girl slightly opened her eyes, "Third Senior Brother?"

Xue Yu glanced at her and said, "Pack your things. We're going to the secret realm tomorrow. The three of us will take you there for training."

Ye Qiao didn't react immediately, "Huh?"

Xue Yu: "There's a small secret realm under Cloud City that's about to open. Since it's not a big place, there probably won't be any powerful beings there, making it a perfect place for you to train."

Xue Yu wasn't really interested in the small secret realm, but since it was his junior sister's first time going out for training, he accompanied her.

Ye Qiao slapped her forehead and remembered.

The novel mentions the secret realm of Cloud City.

There are quite a few treasures inside.

"The secret realm at the foot of Cloud City has been divided between the Sword Inquiry Sect and the Moon Purity Sect in previous years."

Xue Yu chuckled softly, "However, those disciples of the Yueqing Sect are too arrogant and probably look down on minor secret realms."

Ye Qiao thought to herself.

No.

They think highly of it.

Because the female lead will go.

The female protagonist will obtain many spiritual plants there.

It even contains many ancient spiritual plants that are on the verge of extinction. Whether or not one can obtain these rare treasures depends on one's strength. However, apart from the Yueqing Sect, none of the five major sects went to this small secret realm. Some rogue cultivators dared not offend the direct disciples of the major sects, so naturally, all those spiritual plants ended up in Yun Que's pocket.

But perhaps due to the butterfly effect they had caused, the Changming Sect actually wanted them to go to that small secret realm for training as well.

Ye Qiao's eyes lit up: "Let's call a few of the other senior brothers to go together."

Yun Que has a senior brother, and so does she; they are both direct disciples, so who is more noble than whom?

It's decided just like that.

The next morning, the four of them packed their things quickly and prepared to descend the mountain.

Mingxuan leaned against the crane and waved to her, "Junior Sister, over here."

He casually tossed Ye Qiao a set of clothes. Ye Qiao touched the fabric; it was cool and comfortable to the touch. She was bewildered: "Is this the clothing passed down through generations of our Changming Sect?"

She noticed that all three of them were dressed in red.

They stood there neatly, looking like three beautiful turkeys.

Mu Chongxi rested his chin on his hand and hummed in agreement, "It's thousand-year-old ice silkworm silk. Although our sect is a bit poor, we're still very generous to our direct disciples. This kind of clothing is impervious to water and fire."

Ye Qiao wasn't wearing any. She noticed that the disciples of the Changming Sect were quite flamboyant; their robes were all red.

Wearing this out would be too eye-catching.

"Go and change into civilian clothes."

She said solemnly, "The more inconspicuous, the better."

Mu Chongxi asked, puzzled, "Why? Aren't our personally selected clothes nice?"

Ye Qiao shook her head, "No, that's not it." — The main problem is that when she's swindling people, she wears her personal disciple's clothes, so it's easy to tell which sect she's from. How can that be allowed?

She discovered that the disciples of the Changming Sect all seemed a bit naive and innocent.

Finally, at Ye Qiao's repeated requests, Ming Xuan changed into white clothes, and Xue Yu wore a blue robe.

And so, Ye Qiao, with the Azure Dragon on his left, the White Tiger on his right, and a fool in the middle, happily set off on a crane.

Erbaiwu Mu Chongxi was extremely excited, "Go go go!"

Because of the upcoming opening of a small secret realm, the number of people in Cloud City has increased significantly in the past few days. There are rogue cultivators and disciples from small sects everywhere. The four of them, dressed in casual clothes, looked particularly inconspicuous among the various sect costumes.

The four were happy to have some free time and began to stroll through the streets of Cloud City.

Ming Xuan touched and looked around, "I heard that a kind of talisman has recently become popular on the market."

"What talisman?"

"Spirit Gathering Talisman, I've heard you can cultivate while lying down."

Mingxuan was itching to try it out: "Why don't we buy them and give them a shot?"

Ye Qiao was slightly taken aback, then grabbed Ming Xuan, who was eager to try, "No, that's all a lie."

"How did you know? Why don't you buy it and try it out? It's not expensive anyway."

"..." Ye Qiao, the poor man, was shot again.

How do I know? Because she drew it!!

She had a ton of these things. At first, she just wanted to sell them to make some money, but after the cultivators discovered their wonderful uses, she couldn't stop. You should know that the disciples of the five major sects are strictly forbidden from privately reselling talismans and pills.

Fearing being recognized and imprisoned again, Ye Qiao had no choice but to stop selling talismans on the black market.

As a result, the surrounding vendors saw a business opportunity and started to counterfeit the products, with prices more than ten times higher than what they had originally sold them for.

Ye Qiao stopped Ming Xuan from becoming a vengeful spirit, saying, "Let's find an inn to stay in first. The other sects will be arriving soon, and we won't have anywhere to stay."

Mingxuan could only regretfully turn back: "Alright then."

I can buy it when I get back.

When the four arrived at the inn, the bottom floor was full of people, all seemingly watching something. Mu Chongxi, who loved to join in the fun, pulled Ye Qiao and rushed into the crowd.
