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

She lay on the table for a while to recover before regaining her energy, and soon she was bouncing around again.

The girl waved in front of him. "Second Senior Brother, shall we go out and sell talismans now?"

I drew so many paintings after three days and three nights without sleep; it would be a shame not to sell some of them.

Mingxuan was taken aback: "Doesn't the sect have rules against selling these privately?"

He had no shortage of spirit stones, so naturally he wouldn't have thought of reselling them at some market.

Ye Qiao didn't care: "It's fine if we go secretly. If we get caught, we can just lock us up in our restricted area."

—I just don't know if the Sword Inquiry Sect has any forbidden areas.

Upon hearing this, Mingxuan completely relaxed.

Ever since their junior sister arrived, the four of them have entered the forbidden area as easily as if they were at home.

While a life of giving up won't make them stronger, it will be very comfortable.

"it is good."

……

There are almost no stalls in Fusheng City, only shops. It is quite bustling during the day, with all you can see are trinkets for cultivators, and some even sell fan fiction about a group of disciples.

Ye Qiao found a conspicuous spot, put up a sign, and squatted down in front of the stall with Ming Xuan to start setting up their stall.

The two waited for quite a while, but the surrounding cultivators didn't stop at all, which made Mingxuan somewhat frustrated.

"Shouldn't talismans be incredibly hard to come by? Why isn't anyone coming this way?"

"Because there are too many scammers," Ye Qiao sighed. "I was lucky enough to sell at a stall once before."

"Back then, even the pornographic bookstore next door was doing better business than me."

Ye Qiao was so envious that she almost wanted to change careers on the spot.

Mingxuan: "...Does it have to be this shabby?"

He pondered for a moment, thinking that perhaps the lack of demonstration effect was the reason. "Why don't we show them the power of an explosive tag right there in the street?"

Ye Qiao coldly reminded him, "Then the next time I see you, it might be in the Sword Inquiry Sect's prison."

Just as swords are forbidden in Cloud City, Floating Life City naturally has rules against damaging public property.

Mingxuan pouted, looking dejected.

Just as the two were feeling the biting cold of fate in the wind, a shop not far away suddenly opened its door, and the next second all the surrounding cultivators squeezed in.

"The Moon Purity Sect's talismans are now on sale."

"Hurry, hurry, they're going to be all gone!"

"..."

"A talisman from the Moon Purity Sect?" Mingxuan immediately leaned closer. "I'll go take a look."

Among the group of rogue cultivators, his cultivation level was still quite high. Mingxuan quickly and forcefully squeezed in without any manners, picked up a talisman, looked at it for a few seconds, and then said with disdain, "This is not very well drawn. When did the talismans of the Moon Purity Sect become so trashy?"

Immediately, someone in the crowd became furious.

He spoke without thinking, and Ye Qiao nudged him, "Have you never been beaten up with a sack over your head before?"

Mingxuan muttered, "How could that be? I'm the one who personally taught him."

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He rushed over, grabbed the talismans from his stall, and proclaimed, "These are the genuine talismans produced by the Yueqing Sect!"

"Priced at fifty high-grade spirit stones each, first come, first served."

The independent cultivators who were initially told that these talismans were trash were quite angry. After all, they had been buying them for so long, and suddenly being told that they had bought a bunch of junk would make anyone angry.

Upon hearing the price, everyone erupted in anger: "Even a direct disciple wouldn't be as pretentious as you guys. Fifty high-grade spirit stones? You might as well just rob someone!"

Mingxuan couldn't help but chuckle, as if he were talking about someone who wasn't a direct disciple.

He remained expressionless. "This is a talisman personally trained by a master."

It is indeed a direct discipleship, but not from the Yueqing Sect, but from their Changming Sect.

Wonderful.

Not only will they not be punished, but they can also shift the blame onto Yue Qingzong.

Don't ask, the answer is that the disciples of the Yueqing Sect are here.

"We are both direct disciples of the Yueqing Sect," Ye Qiao replied smoothly, not forgetting to give her second senior brother a look that said, "You are a promising young man."

A rogue cultivator, his face sullen, sneered, "You say it's true? Where's the evidence?"

Mingxuan immediately found a low-level talisman and had someone casually stick it on. The person instantly darted far away. He turned around and said, "See? The talismans you bought aren't as effective as this, are they?"

It took effect on the spot.

The faces of the rogue cultivators present all changed, clearly feeling a pang of hurt.

Ye Qiao pressed her advantage, showing them the talismans in her hand. "Besides the talisman from before, there's another one called the Spirit Explosion Talisman, which can instantly bring spiritual energy to its peak and maintain its effect for half a cup of tea."

"And this..."

Ye Qiao launched into a long-winded sales pitch, leaving the people around her stunned. After all, they were all amateurs who had never seen a real talisman before.

After seeing the positive results, most people immediately believed their identities.

"But I remember the Yueqing Clan's biography from the competition a few days ago didn't look like this, right?" someone questioned.

Ye Qiao turned to him and smiled warmly, "Why don't you look like this anymore? Take a closer look! Aren't all those disciples very good-looking?"

He recalled it, and it seemed so.

They're all pretty good.

"Good-looking people are all the same. Maybe you're just confused."

She spoke with such certainty that the monk, upon hearing this, became skeptical. "Is that so?"

The talismans in their hands were swept away, and the two siblings gave each other a high five in unison.

"Oh wow." That feels good.

All the spirit stones Mingxuan had before were given to him by the Ming family. This was the first time he had experienced the joy of earning money on his own.

……

After resting for about half a month, the five sects were about to open the next secret realm. In order to prevent these rascals from oversleeping again, Qin Fanfan gave them a long lecture, telling them to rest early and not to be late again tomorrow.

And indeed, I wasn't late the next morning.

But it wasn't necessarily early; when we arrived, the audience seats were already full, with many people eagerly awaiting the opening of the secret realm.

In fact, after the first match, the cultivation world's jade slips were flooded with discussions about the secret realm. Some people were analyzing the strength of the disciples, while others criticized Ye Qiao for taking shortcuts and saying that he would crash and burn sooner or later.

In addition, many praised her unethical behavior.

Most people believe that the competition is more interesting when it's lively and exciting. The days of cultivating immortality and fighting are boring enough. Who wants to watch a group of disciples compete and kill monsters every day?

Therefore, their arrival immediately propelled the previously quiet atmosphere to its peak.

"Ahhh!! The Changming Sect has arrived."

Mingxuan has the kind of charming and romantic appearance that young girls like. When someone sees him come out, they immediately get excited and throw flowers at him.

Ye Qiao: "How flashy!"

Xue Yu blinked: "There's no other way. It's the talisman cultivator's home turf next, so we had to let him put on an act, right?"

That's what they say, but Xue Yu has quite a few flowers on his side too!

Ye Qiao silently prepared to distance herself from this group of showy people; she didn't want to get covered in flowers.

"Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao, the best in the whole place."

"Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao, you are the most outstanding."

"Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao, take them down!"

Ye Qiao turned around and was almost blown away by the group's loud slogans.

"Ye Langlang! Can't you just get first place?"

She's always been thick-skinned, and upon hearing the shouts around her, she immediately waved and smiled, saying, "Okay."

Standing in the adjacent mentor's seat, Song Hansheng's brow twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "What makes you so confident?"

This is an ancient battlefield, the domain of talisman cultivators. What gives her the right to utter such arrogant words?

Ye Qiao glanced at him, but actually didn't really want to talk to Song Hansheng.

After a long pause, she uttered a nonsensical statement: "Those who know, know."

Song Hansheng looked up at the screen with three question marks: "What do you mean?"

Seeing the other person's bewildered expression, Mingxuan suddenly realized the wonderful use of his junior sister's nonsensical literary works.

He immediately glanced at Song Hansheng with disdain, raised his chin, and said, "Those who know, know."

Song Hansheng gritted his teeth and looked at the only normal person, Xue Yu.

"I don't have much to say either." Xue Yu looked back, quite knowingly, "I can only say that those who understand will understand."

Their junior sister is the first person in the cultivation world to be able to cultivate both sword and talisman since the great masters of the five sects ascended to immortality.

Clearly, they've all decided to let loose and be themselves.

What are the Sword Inquiry Sect and the Wind Sect? Their Changming Sect is the most awesome one.

Be confident.

Mu Chongxi couldn't help but nudge Zhou Xingyun: "What kind of riddle are they playing?"

"Stop asking." Zhou Xingyun, also brainwashed by his junior brothers' words, remained silent for a moment, then replied to his junior brother, "Ask away, those who know, know."

"Fine!" Mu Chongxi immediately exploded: "Are you four all isolating me?"

Everyone knows what it means, but you're just not going to tell him, right?

The audience murmured, "...To be honest, after watching the competition for so long, I'm really a little worried about the mental state of the Changming Sect's direct disciples."

Changming Sect used to be so timid and complacent, how come they're so arrogant now that they practically walk with the wind in their step?

Song Hansheng was even more bewildered: "What exactly are they being so arrogant about?"
