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

"Let's go take a look." After sensing the auras of the two broken realms, Ye Qinghan immediately turned to his junior brothers and sisters behind him and said.

He had a strange premonition that the person who broke through two realms was Ye Qiao.

The elders exchanged glances.

Everyone said it was strange today. It's rare for someone to advance two realms in the cultivation world. Ye Qinghan was one example, but unexpectedly, a second one appeared.

Who could it be from the Changming Sect?

……

After stabilizing her cultivation level through meditation, Ye Qiao casually popped another pill into her mouth. The spiritual energy contained in the pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, requiring no further time to consolidate.

She opened her eyes to find a series of faces staring intently at her. Ye Qiao was also puzzled. "What?"

Several elders were also present.

An elder asked, "You've also broken through two realms?"

Ye Qiao nodded. She had just stabilized her cultivation level. As for breaking through to the Golden Core stage, she planned to try it before the individual competition.

Seeing her nod, the elders paused for a moment. Breaking through two realms in one go was no ordinary feat. This child's spiritual root was definitely not the middle-grade one that outsiders claimed.

The elders were all thoughtfully assessing her talent. Ye Qiao was undoubtedly the first person in the cultivation world to be able to cultivate multiple things, but this depended on the level of proficiency; otherwise, it would be a waste of effort.

If she were of high quality, they would try to poach her.

"Ye Qiao, feel free to visit our sect sometime if you're interested." The elder of the Biyue Sect patted her shoulder, his tone kind.

Ye Qiao: "...Oh."

The elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect glanced at her a few times, hesitated for a moment, and said briefly, "Our sect has more male disciples."

"Ye Qinghan and Chu Xingzhi are both good-looking. Take a look at them when you have time."

Ye Qinghan and Chu Xingzhi, who had just arrived, were both bewildered.

Zhu You couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ye Qinghan noticed Ye Qiao's cultivation level, his expression shifting several times before finally returning to his usual indifference. "Congratulations."

Ye Qiao: "Congratulations to you too."

Two disciples from the Five Sects broke through two realms in one day. Those who originally wanted to see Ye Qiao make a fool of himself gave up some of their ideas. Well, as expected, none of these disciples were easy to deal with.

Ye Qinghan alone attracted the attention of most people. A Nascent Soul cultivator in his teens, why not befriend such a genius sooner?

"You broke through to a higher realm, and Ye Qiao did it too." Chu Xingzhi walked out of the courtyard. "How strange."

To be precise, it was strange from beginning to end. The Changming Sect had been coming to them so often before, could it be that they wanted Ye Qiao to break through to the next level?

But what was the opportunity? Ye Qinghan broke through his cultivation realm, so why did she follow suit?

What Chu Xingzhi said was exactly what Ye Qinghan couldn't understand: "I didn't say it before, but she was actually right next to me when I was undergoing my tribulation. At that time, several bolts of heavenly lightning followed her down."

Zhu You was slightly taken aback: "Ye Qiao got caught up in this because of you?"

"She wasn't caught in the crossfire," Ye Qinghan shook his head. "I chased after her and attacked her directly, and..."

After a pause, the young man's indifferent tone was quite subtle: "The most important reason why I was able to successfully overcome the tribulation was that most of the Heavenly Lightning Fallen Leaves were on my body at that time."

Logically speaking, heavenly lightning should only strike those undergoing tribulation, and if it fails to kill them, the thunderclouds will dissipate. This is the first time I've heard of it targeting those nearby.

"At that time, I inexplicably felt that those lightning tribulations were not falling for me, but for her."

Ye Qinghan always felt that Heaven had probably wanted to kill Ye Qiao for a long time.

Chu Xingzhi said dryly, "I can't be." He had to admit that Ye Qiao was a bit special, but what merit did she have to deserve the Heavenly Dao personally sending down a lightning tribulation?

"Stop guessing." Zhu You frowned, unable to figure out the connection either. She waved her hand, "You'll know once she reaches the Golden Core stage. What's the point of you guessing?"

……

After the group of elders who had been watching left, Ye Qiao touched the spiritual weapon at her waist. After breaking through two realms, her sea of ​​consciousness had more than doubled in size, and more importantly—

"Look."

The pure black stick in her hand was engraved with patterns, and the three words "I cannot see you" were engraved in small gilded characters.

If their junior uncle hadn't said it was a sword, they would never have seen such a strange magical artifact before.

As Ye Qiao broke through, it did indeed change. It seems that Xie Chuxue was right; spiritual artifacts really do change along with their owners.

"It used to look like a stick, but now it looks a bit like some kind of weird magic staff." The patterns carved on the stick are unique and quite pretty when you look closely.

Mu Chongxi rested her chin on her hand and pointed to the name engraved under the bamboo shoot. "Does it mean 'I will miss you, long for you, but never see you again'? How can such an elegant sword name be associated with you? 'Duoxun' sounds much better. This one sounds so frivolous."

Ye Qiao pressed his head down on the table.

"In the individual competition, Junior Sister, you should still try your best to get into the top ten," Zhou Xingyun said calmly. "Although a sword doesn't choose two masters, yours is quite strange."

He seemed like the mistress who had instigated her husband's affair, and Ye Qiao keenly sensed that Duo Sun had moved slightly.

Ye Qiao hugged her bamboo shoot and said, "Forget it, there are so many sword cultivators in the Sword Cave, no sword will be interested in me." She was quite satisfied with the bamboo shoot.

Zhou Xingyun: "Not necessarily."

"We'll only know once we go in and see." Ye Qiao's magical artifacts are not fixed, which means that she may also be able to use all sorts of other magical artifacts.

A stick is a weapon, but it can never be used as a sword.

If possible, we should aim for the top ten and also enter the Sword Cave.

Thinking about it, Zhou Xingyun recalled her clumsy swordsmanship and sighed softly, "Junior Sister."

"Haven't you seen other personally taught sword techniques?"

He doesn't seem like a sword cultivator at all; he seems like someone who started out halfway through his training, learning everything on the job.

Ye Qiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded resignedly: "Yes. I've only ever met people from the Sword Inquiry Sect."

"Oh." Mu Chongxi pressed his face against the table, reacting quickly: "You've only met members of the Sword Inquiry Sect, and you're already evenly matched with Chu Xingzhi?"

"It's not that bad." 50/50 is too much. Ye Qiao scratched her head. "I was just being a little bit clever back then."

Who told Chu Xingzhi to underestimate his enemy?

"Chu Xingzhi's swordsmanship at that time was only the most basic." Zhou Xingyun: "The sword cultivator competition is not only for them."

Ye Qiao's repertoire is too monotonous. The Changming Sect Sword Technique is divided into six forms, but she and Mu Chongxi only know the first two. Although it's not bad, it's far from enough to get into the top ten.

"Ye Qinghan is capable of more than just that." Zhou Xingyun smoothed down her slightly messy hair and said in a calm voice, "Keep trying, junior sister."

Ye Qiao also realized that Ye Qinghan, as the male lead in the "Dragon Pride" series, hadn't taken her seriously at all when he was fighting her.

However, she has only been practicing swordsmanship for half a year, so it's unrealistic for her to surpass those close disciples all at once.

"Like this." Zhou Xingyun's demeanor remained as melancholic as ever. He slightly drooped his lips, tossed Duan Chen to Ye Qiao, and then gestured for Mu Chongxi to take out the Chaoxi Sword. "I'll demonstrate it for you."

Wuhu.

That's a good relationship.

Mu Chongxi stroked his chin: "Can you remember it in such a short time?"

Zhou Xingyun glanced at him: "How much you can remember is up to you, not me."

Qin Huai of Chengfeng Sect has a rather unpredictable and elusive sword technique, while Wenjian Sect cultivates a sword technique that can break through all laws with a single strike, which is generally unbearable for ordinary people. Yueqing Sect also has a sword cultivator, but he has always been a nobody, so Zhou Xingyun also demonstrated it for him.

However, the demonstration does not mean that the sword technique can be used. Zhou Xingyun's imitation will at most give the two people a general idea.

Don't let the Sword Cultivator Competition come around and you be unable to figure out the fighting styles of the other sword cultivators.

Zhou Xingyun had always heard his junior brother mutter that Ye Qiao had a good memory, but he was still slightly surprised after seeing it with his own eyes.

She can imitate anything he demonstrates.

Later on, he wasn't needed anymore. After Ye Qiao remembered, he and Mu Chongxi fought directly. The two sword cultivators didn't know their own strength and often caused the courtyard to collapse. However, with the individual competition approaching, the elders didn't care about them.

Improving one's cultivation level is the most important thing.

This also made Ye Qiao quite dizzy from being so busy.

During the day, she needs to draw talismans, and in her spare time, she refines a few ugly pills for her own use. Then, at night, she has to practice swordsmanship. She simply doesn't have any free time.

Having finally caught their breath, the two decided to rest for a bit, as the secret realm would open in a few days. They had just fallen asleep when...

Suddenly, the elders' deep, resonant voices echoed from outside the courtyard.

"Get up. Everyone, assemble at the back of the mountain."

Ye Qiao sat up groggily.

"What's that noise?"

As the group rushed outside, they were shivered by the cold.

"Are they all up?"

"..."

A group of close disciples, all disheveled, gathered together, huddled together in exhaustion. Ye Qiao spent her days drawing talismans and refining pills, and her nights learning sword techniques. She was so tired that she couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep next to Mu Chongxi.

"What's going on? It's so late at night."

Mingxuan hadn't slept. His disciples were all night owls, so rest wasn't important to them. They were all staying up all night to improve their strength, and they were all quite confused when they were suddenly called out.

"The secret realm will open in two days, but after the last crisis, we've realized something," the Sword Inquiry Sect elder said in a booming voice, "You all need to train more at your age!"

"???"

What?

The others almost thought they were deaf.

Ye Qiao and Mu Chongxi were also startled and exchanged a glance before standing up straight.

"Very good, you're all in high spirits!" The elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect clapped his hands, his voice cold and deep: "In that case, you will all run around the back mountain together tonight to improve your speed, so that you won't be unable to escape if you are caught."

"..."

The group was forced into the task, and after standing still, they slowly started jogging.

"No. Why?" Chu Xingzhi didn't understand. He was practicing his swordsmanship properly and was ready to show off his skills in the fifth round. Why were they being asked to practice speed so late at night?

"Perhaps the elders saw how fast the Changming Sect ran before and felt that speed was also a part of strength." Zhu You shrugged; she didn't object to this approach.

But stepping into the breeze is the core technique of the Changming Sect; they might just do some running training.

Chu Xingzhi instantly understood who the culprit was.

He ran up to Ye Qiao with a blank expression, "I curse you, Ye Qiao!"

Ye Qiao was distracted while running. Upon hearing this, she turned her head and glanced at Chu Xingzhi. "Then you can curse me every day, reflect on your life three times a day, and repeat my name over and over again."

"If this continues, you'll find that—"

Ye Qiao smiled smugly: "Your curse is completely useless."

"Oh, oh, oh, who do we have here? It's Chu Xingzhi from the Sword Inquiry Sect. He's already so hot-tempered as soon as he arrives." Mu Chongxi's starry eyes curved into crescents. "Did those female cultivators who like you finally see how useless you are and beat you up?"

Chu Xingzhi immediately pointed angrily at the two of them: "Don't be so smug. In the individual competition, I will definitely beat you up."

Ye Qiao: "Oh right, right, right. We'll wait."

Ye Qiao, Mu Chongxi, and Chu Xingzhi, these three sword cultivators, got together and talked faster than they acted the whole time.

While others run, these three talk.

Song Hansheng, who was in front, was expressionless. He was so annoyed by the three of them that he took off running forward, trying to shake off the chattering trio.

First is Ye Qinghan; her speed is unmatched.

If we're talking about who uses the "Stepping on the Breeze" technique best, then Zhou Xingyun is undoubtedly the best. Ye Qiao and the others are still a bit lacking in skill.

When Elder Duan came over to watch, wow!

As expected, Zhou Xingyun was at the very back. His habit of running for a while and then walking for a few steps made Elder Duan Yu want to kick him a couple of times.

What are you doing? You're just slacking off during a run.

Ye Qinghan finished running a lap, and Zhou Xingyun happened to run into him.

The two looked at each other, but neither paid any attention to the other.

Ye Qinghan pursed his lips and said coldly, "In the individual sword competition, our Wenjian Sect will definitely be number one."

Zhou Xingyun said slowly, "Oh."

He couldn't be bothered to respond to Ye Qinghan's provocations.

Su Zhuo: "Who suggested this? It's one thing for the sword cultivators to run away, but why should we talisman cultivators run away?"

The elder of the Sword Inquiry Sect coldly retorted, "Ye Qiao ran away, why shouldn't you?"

Develop morally, intellectually, physically, and aesthetically in an all-round way.

Su Zhuo almost choked on his breath, "Because she's a triple cultivator." Not everyone is Ye Qiao.

"Stop dawdling, hurry up."

"Hurry up, everyone. After half a cup of tea, those who can't finish running, stay and keep running."

Half a cup of tea?

"Hurry, hurry, there's no time left!"

When it comes to running, Changming Sect is really good, but these five people are all procrastinators. As the saying goes, why bother working hard if you can just slack off? The result of not working hard is that you'll be shoving and jostling with a bunch of disciples for rankings.

Seeing this, Duan Hengdao tried to think of some crooked methods. He took out a magic artifact from his mustard seed bag, and the chain automatically locked onto the target, wrapping around the waist of Ye Qinghan, who was running in the lead. Duan Hengdao was immediately pulled along by him, and the speed instantly surpassed that of Shen Ziwei beside him.

Shen Ziwei: "..."

He pursed his lips, somewhat speechless. Had he completely learned bad habits from Ye Qiao?

Ye Qiao, who was also running desperately, suddenly had an idea when she saw his improper behavior.

She stepped on the shoulder of the person in front of her and successfully jumped over, the girl taking the lead and running ahead.

Just kidding, she doesn't want to go running anymore.

"Ye Qiao, do you have any manners?!"

"Aaaaah, don't step on me! Which idiot is this?"

"You bunch of idiots are so annoying."

The scene was extremely chaotic at one point.

Every now and then you can hear a few explosions; I don't know who's fighting with whom.

"That's good." Qin Fanfan stroked her chin with satisfaction as she listened to the faint sounds of a fight about to break out on the back mountain. "Now, even the dogs within a hundred miles of us in the cultivation world know that these disciples have started running."
