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

Ye Qiao was grabbed by Ming Xuan and taken outside. She didn't have a chance to react at all. She could only hurriedly put away the Four Directions Talisman, after all, it was drawn by her after wasting dozens of talisman papers.

"Come, come, junior sister."

Using his height advantage, Mingxuan pinned her down firmly. "Tell us, are you a dual cultivator of swordsmanship and talismans?"

I have to say, even though I was mentally prepared, seeing Ye Qiao holding a talisman when I opened the door was still a huge surprise.

Dual cultivation of sword and talisman!

It appeared in the cultivation world a long time ago, but those powerful figures either ascended or perished, and since then, these cultivators who practiced dual cultivation of two paths have disappeared without a trace.

Ye Qiao raised an eyebrow as she watched her two senior brothers rubbing their hands together, looking ready for a three-way interrogation. She wondered what they were so excited about.

"If we use your standards, then I am indeed a dual practitioner of swordsmanship and talismans."

Previously, Ye Qiao never thought she could cultivate both paths simultaneously. She always considered herself to be the typical person who was not proficient in anything but could do a few things at the same time.

But now that two blessings from Heaven have descended in succession, who else could she be but her?

Ye Qiao was never the type to deny herself; if she was, she was, and everyone has talent.

After she admitted it, Mingxuan's smile became even more grotesque, staring at her as if he were sizing up some cattle or sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

Ye Qiao shivered silently.

What?

Xue Yu composed himself slightly. Although he wasn't a talisman cultivator, he understood how rare they were. "Junior Sister..."

He murmured, "I suddenly feel that you are the genius that everyone has underestimated, aren't you?"

Many elders in this sect competition are betting on Yun Que, since she is the only genius who broke through to the Golden Core stage in less than a year.

Ye Qiao's spiritual root quality is too low. Although it can't be called a useless spiritual root, compared with the top-quality ones that are everywhere, it's no different from a useless spiritual root.

Therefore, among those who were considered promising disciples, there were many, but Ye Qiao was not among them.

As Xue Yu spoke, he leaned closer to Ye Qiao, his eyes lowered in deep thought: "Junior Sister, I think there's something wrong with your spiritual root."

Logically speaking, testing stones rarely have problems. If someone can cultivate both sword and talisman, their sea of ​​consciousness should be much wider than others. No matter how you look at it, they shouldn't be a mid-grade spiritual root.

"Why think so much?" Mingxuan said nonchalantly, then declared smugly, "I declare that the next match will belong to our Changming Sect."

This year, with Ye Qiao added to the mix, they have two talisman cultivators!

You know, he used to be the only talisman cultivator in the sect, and he was always busy working like a dog, not only competing with the direct descendants of the main family, but also with the disciples of the Yueqing Sect.

Suddenly having a second talisman cultivator to help him share the burden, Mingxuan would have loved to set off two strings of firecrackers to celebrate at the Yueqing Sect if he weren't forbidden from lighting fires.

"Does Yunhen know you can draw talismans?" Mingxuan's eyes sparkled with a hint of amusement.

The Moon Purity Sect prides itself on being the home of talisman cultivators, and basically all talisman cultivators flock to their territory.

It seems the other party is unaware of this; otherwise, if Yunhen found out that he personally drove away a talisman cultivator, he would surely regret it to death.

Ye Qiao shrugged: "Of course I don't know." The original owner was a genuine sword cultivator; she only learned swordsmanship on her own after leaving the Yueqing Sect.

"Then you must have studied talisman drawing at the Yueqing Sect for over ten years, and then came to benefit our Changming Sect after mastering it, right?" Mingxuan had an expression that said, "There's only one truth, and I've found it."

Ye Qiao: "..." No.

She came to Changming Sect simply because the sect consistently ranks last and has a negative attitude, making it a good fit for those who don't want to work hard.

Ye Qiao remained silent, so Ming Xuan muttered to himself, "I'm relieved that Changming Sect has a genius like you."

"Then I'll start slacking off," he said, grinning.

Xue Yu said disapprovingly, "Your expression is so stupid."

He was laughing like a complete idiot.

Mingxuan smiled nonchalantly: "You don't understand the pressure I face as the only talisman cultivator."

The entire sect's hopes are pinned on him for the next match, but Mingxuan feels he can't bear such a heavy burden. Such expectations will only suffocate him.

Ye Qiao's arrival instantly dispelled the unease and gloom in his heart.

……

The disciples of other sects also had various opinions when they saw this blinding light.

"Another blessing, this must be the second one from the Changming Sect, right?"

"Who is it? Someone who can command two Heavenly Dao strikes in quick succession! Let's team up and target him next!"

"I guess it's Xue Yu. If Mingxuan could really be blessed twice, would he have stagnated for so many years?"

"Although sword cultivators are blessed less often, it's not impossible. What on earth is the Changming Sect up to?"

That was a blessing from Heaven twice.

Those with a bit of sense, like Qin Huai of the Chengfeng Sect, have already sent people to the Changming Sect's courtyard to sound them out.

The commotion was so great that other sects had mobilized. Ye Qiao pondered for a moment: "Someone will definitely come to gather information in a while. We can feint and catch them off guard."

"How so?"

"That's easy," Ye Qiao said happily. "Just spread the word that the Heavenly Blessing was for our eldest brother, and they will naturally lower their guard against us."

Xue Yu, after all, had a conscience: "Won't Senior Brother be targeted next?"

Mingxuan said, "It doesn't matter, they can't beat Senior Brother."

Oh wow, I can totally imagine their expressions when they enter the secret realm.

*

Qin Fanfan had no idea what these brats were secretly plotting. He had also seen the golden light, but since none of the disciples came forward to confess, he didn't ask. It didn't matter; he would find out what these kids were up to during the next competition.

As long as she doesn't come in last place, Qin Fanfan isn't particularly concerned about whether she's first or second.

Anyway, even if it gets worse, it'll just keep counting down the numbers.

The Changming Sect has always practiced a laissez-faire approach.

Compared to the rigorous and regular daily routines of the other four sects, theirs was much more relaxed, which fostered a group of unrestrained and unruly disciples.

On the other side, Mingxuan and Ye Qiao, two talisman cultivators, were holed up in the house, working together to figure out what to draw for the next match.

"I have spirit-summoning talismans, earth-trapping talismans, invisibility talismans, and some auxiliary items here." Mingxuan blinked slightly. "What about you?"

Although Mingxuan knew that Ye Qiao could draw talismans, and was quite skilled at it, he had never seen her draw any talismans.

Ye Qiao fell silent for a moment upon hearing this, then spread out the talisman and showed it to him.

"This is a crawling talisman. If you can stick it on them, you might be lucky enough to witness a group of disciples crawling on the spot. We can use several recording stones to record it, and I suggest watching it every day."

"And this one, I gave it a name, 'Dancing Demons'."

"You might see a group of protégés having a dance battle."

Mingxuan: "..."

Perhaps because her second senior brother's expression was too silent, Ye Qiao also realized that she was neglecting her duties. She said, "I'm the one who's dragging the talisman cultivators down."

Mingxuan had seen people who let loose, but he had never seen anyone who was more lazy than Ye Qiao. Since she could easily draw the Four Directions Talisman among the Four Great Talismans, why was she fussing over these abnormal things?

Who wants to watch those protégés dance battle?

but……

Mingxuan, itching to try it, asked, "If we could really stick them together, would I be able to watch Ye Qinghan and my senior brother holding hands and dancing the hula together?"

Ye Qiao imagined the scene for a moment and took a breath.

Hearing this, she actually started to look forward to it a little.

Mingxuan is a respectable person; drawing talismans with him at least allows you to experience the atmosphere of the Scroll King.

He also set a goal for Ye Qiao: "Three days and three nights, we'll finish drawing and then go to sleep."

"Think about the million we've bet on the casino." Mingxuan didn't forget to paint a rosy picture for his junior sister, who was good at slacking off: "If we can get first place, we'll get more than a million."

"How about it? Want to work hard with me?"

Ye Qiao's listless eyes gradually focused, and her previously sleepy eyes widened slightly. "Okay!"

As a professional talisman master, Mingxuan had five new high-grade wolf-hair brushes. Upon learning that Ye Qiao could also draw talismans, he generously offered them to her.

Use whichever one you find most convenient.

Ye Qiao perked up and tried them all one by one, finally choosing the one that felt right to her.

The difference between a high-grade spiritual weapon and a mid-grade spiritual weapon became apparent at this point. Before, it would take her a long time to draw a few pictures, but with a high-grade spiritual weapon, she didn't have this problem. She could pick it up and draw immediately, and the process was very smooth.

At this moment, she had actually memorized many ancient talismans in her mind, but they all had limitations. With Ye Qiao's current cultivation level, she could only draw some simple ones.

Ye Qiao's hand is very steady. When drawing, she is only a little more careful when finishing, and the rest of the time she draws the talisman in one stroke.

Mingxuan noticed his junior sister's movements halfway through drawing, and his lips twitched. "To be honest, if the old men in our main family or Yunhen saw you drawing talismans this fast, they would worship you."

The faster one cultivates talismans, the higher one's talent and the stronger one's divine sense.

Ye Qiao was moving too fast; her divine sense seemed to not need to pause at all, almost one per minute.

Mingxuan was marveling at his junior sister's speed when he saw a drop of blood dripping from the girl's nose. She paused, then expertly wiped it away before resting her head on the table for a while.

My spiritual energy is exhausted again.

"I can't draw too much, or I'll get dizzy." Ye Qiao sighed. If she didn't get dizzy, she would have made a fortune selling talismans long ago.

Seeing this, Mingxuan poked her curiously, "You get dizzy after drawing like this, won't you have kidney deficiency?"

Ye Qiao: "...You're the one who's weak."
