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

Perhaps because Ye Qiao spoke with such sincerity, Turkey nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, which meant he accepted the name KFC.

It wants to be the most domineering chicken!

Pshaw, it's not a chicken.

The original trio was joined by a monster along the way. The small KFC-like creature hopped onto Ye Qiao's shoulder, its red fur soft and fluffy, and it nestled there obediently with its head tucked in.

"Junior Sister, do you really know where the fire-elemental crystal mine is?" Mu Chongxi asked on the way, teasing the KFC chicken while remaining skeptical.

Ye Qiao nodded, watching the two of them move slowly, and simply pulled Duan Hengdao onto her sword. "At this speed, you can't even catch up with hot shit."

"Let's go!"

She urged him on while simultaneously pushing the Wind Chaser to speed up their journey toward their destination.

The Great Mystery Realm will arrive a few months earlier, so there's no guarantee the female protagonist won't get the treasure-hunting beast sooner. If she gets snatched up, who will she cry to?

Fire-type crystals are born in extremely hot regions. The environment of the Great Mythic Realm is always a mystery. One second the sky is clear and blue, and the next second it starts raining. And it's not ordinary rain; it's more like acid rain, which is corrosive and causes a burning pain when it falls on the skin.

Duan Hengdao thought for a moment, "I have a defensive magic artifact, but it requires some spiritual energy to maintain. Would you like to use it together?"

It consumes spiritual energy...

Ye Qiao calculated the distance and decisively refused.

What if I run out of spiritual power and encounter an enemy?

Mu Chongxi also refused. In the past, he would never have thought that he would encounter enemies when he went out to train. But ever since he got together with his junior sister, she has been constantly drawing hatred. She has offended two of the five major sects. It's really amazing.

"What should we do then?" Duan Hengdao touched his burned hand, only to see Ye Qiao slowly take out two large pots from his mustard seed space.

and many more……

A big pot?

"What is this?" Duan Hengdao asked, stunned.

"The pot," Ye Qiao said succinctly, "hold it up."

"Used for alchemy."

Duan Hengdao: "?"

He was stunned: "A cauldron for alchemy?"

Ye Qiao: "I don't have the money. Please understand."

Duan Hengdao: "Alright then." He couldn't help but wonder, after Mingxuan's madness, has Xue Yu also started to take the unconventional path and started using a large cauldron to refine pills? How is the mental state of your Changming Sect's direct disciples?

Because Ye Qiao didn't say who used the large cauldron to refine pills, and given that Changming Sect only had one pill refiner, Duan Hengdao once again had a spectacular misunderstanding.

Duan Hengdao, carrying a pot on his head, found it quite useful, at least it didn't consume his spiritual energy. Although he seemed a bit mentally unstable, it didn't matter, since there were no outsiders around.

Moreover, Ye Qiao possessed a truly multitude of strange and unusual items, prompting him to sincerely say, "I hope that when I see you in the Grand Competition, you will show mercy to our Chengfeng Sect."

Ye Qiao didn't even turn her head, her tone innocent: "What threat could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like me pose to you powerful figures who are all at the Golden Core stage?"

Duan Hengdao muttered to himself, "Hard to say."

Changming Sect has never been favored by outsiders. This year, the first and second place are either Wenjian Sect or Chengfeng Sect. Even Yueqing Sect and Bishui Sect may become contenders with them.

Only Changming Sect always came in second place.

He didn't really care much about this sect that was always at the bottom of the rankings, but their newly recruited junior sister... had too many outrageous things going on.

It's simply impossible to guard against.

After the acid rain stopped, a giant snake vaguely appeared ahead. Duan Hengdao bit his tongue hard and quickly realized that it was an illusion.

These illusions, which can bewitch people's minds, often appear in secret realms, and those with weak willpower can easily lose themselves in them.

Ye Qiao also noticed that, apart from herself, the other two people were standing still, feeling dizzy.

She rummaged through her mustard seed bag for a long time before finally opening the porcelain bottle containing the pills.

A refreshing fragrance wafted from the bottle, instantly clearing his mind. Duan Hengdao rubbed his eyes, snapping out of his reverie: "A Mind-Clearing Pill?"

She nodded and divided them between the two of them.

Duan Hengdao blinked: "How come you have so many pills?"

Ye Qiao said demurely, "It was given to me by my third senior brother."

After Xue Yu finished practicing, he also gave her a bunch of them. Now she doesn't have much else, but she has a lot of Qingxin Pills.

This elixir can prevent people from falling into illusions, making it an essential elixir for those going out to gain experience.

Thanks to Ye Qiao's tireless efforts, the three of them quickly found the fire-type crystal mine mentioned in the original work.

Compared to the crystals in Duan Hengdao's box, these were brighter and hotter, constantly absorbing the surrounding heat. The red volcano was inlaid with nearly a hundred crystals, and the KFC on its shoulder got excited as soon as it smelled the aroma.

It flapped its wings, ready to pounce on the crystal.

The sleeping leopard suddenly opened its eyes and sensed someone approaching. It instinctively bared its teeth and was just about to pounce out to teach the uninvited guest a lesson when it suddenly noticed a fledgling bird whose feathers had not yet grown. The bird was now frantically gnawing on a crystal.

The leopard bared its teeth, eager to devour its prey.

Suddenly, the KFC chicken tilted its head and glanced at it.

With just one glance, the leopard uncontrollably collapsed to the ground, its massive body trembling slightly, remaining motionless as the humans took the crystal.

Completely unaware of what had happened, the three were still engrossed in mining. Having learned from previous experiences, Mu Chongxi didn't hesitate this time and started mining right away. The group swept away all the fire-elemental crystals in the area, leaving none for the others.

After spending a few days hanging out with Ye Qiao, Mu Chongxi realized that kindness was useless, and shamelessness was much more comfortable.

In the end, KFC swallowed a third of the crystal, and Mu Chongxi and Duan Hengdao divided the rest equally.

Logically, there should be monsters guarding the vicinity of such crystal mines.

However, for some reason, the guardian beast here did not show up at all, and the whole process went incredibly smoothly.

As Ye Qiao fed the bird along the way, she looked at it with a complicated expression.

"Is it eating too much?"

Mu Chongxi said nonchalantly, "Being able to eat is a blessing."

Ye Qiao thought about it and agreed, but... seeing it eating so happily, she almost suffocated. Who could afford to raise such a thing?

She was feeding KFC chicken as she walked, and soon she was spotted by a group of people.

There were many rogue cultivators trapped inside the secret realm, unable to get out. Ye Qiao noticed that they were all Foundation Establishment cultivators, so he stopped paying attention to them.

Unexpectedly, the person who had been secretly following them suddenly jumped out and immediately began questioning them.

"You're the ones who took my crystal!" The other party said firmly, clearly having witnessed the whole thing.

There were several people standing behind him, and judging from their cultivation levels, they were all rogue cultivators.

"Your crystal? Did you write your name on it?" Ye Qiao's eyes crinkled, her attitude quite casual.

"We discovered it first!" he roared. "You've gone too far!"

Because that leopard had at least the cultivation level of a Golden Core cultivator, he didn't dare to act rashly and went to call for help. Little did he expect that when he returned, there would be nothing left.

Seeing Ye Qiao's nonchalant attitude, the man was instantly enraged and wanted to teach her a lesson with his bare hands.

Ye Qiao ducked to avoid him, grabbed his arm, and slammed him to the ground with a swift motion. She smiled slightly and said, "What? What did you say? I didn't hear you."

joke.

If she still couldn't beat him at the same level, would that be fair to Elder Duan Yu's relentless training, which he put her through so much every lesson?

The man who had been knocked to the ground was stunned for a long time when he met Ye Qiao's smiling gaze.

It wasn't until the sharp pain shot through his body that he realized he had been pinned to the ground and beaten by a weak and helpless talisman cultivator.

Damn it, wasn't it said that Fu Xiu was the worst at close combat?

Ye Qiao didn't give him a chance to react, swiftly kicking him back. With a slight smirk, she arrogantly told them, "I am a direct disciple of the Yueqing Sect. If you're not satisfied, go find our senior brother to argue with us."

Direct instruction?

Could it be that……

"She's that Yun Que who was recently recruited by the Yueqing Sect?!"

Ye Qiao almost burst out laughing.

There was nothing she could do. She actually wanted to frame Song Hansheng, but since Yun Que was the only junior sister in the Yueqing Clan, she could only go with the flow.

He immediately felt he had figured it out and angrily denounced them, "I knew it was those shameless bastards from the Yueqing Sect!"

"How dare you!" Ye Qiao frowned, feigning anger. "How dare you insult my sect?"

As she spoke, she picked up a magic array talisman and tossed it over.

The binding talisman wasn't very effective; at most, it would trap them in place for a few minutes.

However, after she threw out the talisman, the rogue cultivators below immediately erupted in chaos.

"Well, as expected, they are disciples of the Moon Purity Sect!"

"Who else would be so despicable?! I saw it myself, it was clearly a talisman from the Moon Purity Sect."

The talismans of the Yueqing Sect are quite distinctive. The array talismans are basically made using the techniques of the Yueqing Sect. After the array is formed, there will be special gold-plated patterns. Knowledgeable rogue cultivators can recognize them immediately.

This definitively confirms her identity as a direct descendant of the Yueqing Clan.

Unafraid, Ye Qiao, disguised as Yun Que, pocketed the crystal without hesitation and then made her escape.

Duan Hengdao could only shout "666" the whole time he was with Ye Qiao.

When faced with indecisiveness, they blame their enemies.

Ye Qiao has finally figured out this whole process.

……

"I heard that someone discovered fire-type crystal ore in the secret realm."

"Where is it?!" Such rare treasures are extremely hard to come by. Any one of them could fetch an astronomical price at an auction house. In an instant, all the cultivators in the secret realm were in an uproar.

"It seems that the Moon Purity Sect obtained the crystal ore."

For a moment, their initial enthusiasm fizzled out.

Major sects?

Wouldn't they be courting death by competing with major sects for resources?

Someone immediately incited, "Don't be afraid! Even if it's the Moon Purity Sect, don't forget they're just a bunch of talisman cultivators. With so many of us, why should we be afraid of a few talisman cultivators? We'll just snatch the crystals and split them evenly."

Everyone was immediately persuaded.

So what if they're from a major sect? Once they leave the secret realm, who will know who?

the other side.

Having just escaped the Xuan Yun Sect group, Song Hansheng couldn't help but curse, "Those mad dogs are really troublesome."

"Yes, that's right." The disciples behind him nodded repeatedly. "If it weren't for our senior brother's many tricks, we really wouldn't have been able to get out for a while."

"And that Ye Qiao, she's just crazy. We haven't offended her at all."

Speaking of Ye Qiao, Song Hansheng had vaguely heard that this woman was once an inner disciple of their Yueqing Sect, but later, for some unknown reason, she betrayed the sect overnight.

There are differing accounts within the Yueqing Sect regarding Ye Qiao's departure. Song Hansheng has always believed that Ye Qiao left the Yueqing Sect because the Changming Sect extended an olive branch to her, promising her the position of a personal disciple.

That's why this woman was ungrateful and disregarded her master's nurturing grace, choosing to betray the sect.

Otherwise, Song Hansheng couldn't understand why Ye Qiao would choose to go down the mountain if there wasn't a better option available.

Song Hansheng said coldly, "She's just an ingrate. I'll definitely not let her get away with this next time we meet."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a group of rogue cultivators, appearing out of nowhere, blocked their path and surrounded them.

"Are you from the Moon Purity Sect?"

The somewhat familiar words caught Song Hansheng off guard. He raised his chin, his tone impatient with these rogue cultivators: "So what if it is?"

Xuan Yun Sect is alright, at least it has some reputation in the cultivation world.

Are these rogue cultivators trying to provoke them again?

"Then there's no problem." The group of rogue cultivators' eyes lit up, and they pounced on the group like hungry wolves eyeing meat. "We're looking for the disciples of the Moon Purity Sect."

Song Hansheng: "???"
