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

Ye Qiao was relatively safe from Ming Xuan's position, so she focused her energy on the spot and casually glanced at the thunderclouds in the sky.

I suddenly had a whimsical thought: what would happen if I gave it the middle finger?

Just as she was thinking this, a bolt of lightning struck down without warning, and Mingxuan, who was in the very center, turned pale.

"How many questions are there in total?"

Xie Chuxue, carrying her two junior apprentices, answered kindly, "I don't know."

Ye Qiao: "..." Then what the hell are you talking about?

"The higher the talent, the more lightning strikes you get." Xie Chuxue shrugged. "Your senior brother was chased and struck for a whole day and night."

"I hope Mingxuan is alright." With that, Xie Chuxue transformed into a prayer, clasping her hands together as if she were a hopeful person.

Perhaps his conviction was too strong, which led the other three to follow suit and pray for Mingxuan.

Sometimes being highly talented isn't necessarily a good thing. For example, right now, Mingxuan is almost completely ruined by the people he's been attacked.

Ye Qiao threw over all the Vajra Talismans she could use and drew Qi on the spot for a full hour. Her early Foundation Establishment stage was loosened, but the Bright Profound Thunder was still not over.

Xie Chuxue stroked his chin, watching the speed at which she drew the talisman. He discovered that this junior niece was not only fast, but also incredibly accurate. He had rarely seen such a high success rate when someone was undergoing a tribulation.

But isn't the rule that one can only focus on one aspect of dual cultivation of sword and talisman? He seemed to be deep in thought.

So this junior apprentice's swordsmanship talent must be pretty bad, right?

So Xie Chuxue unilaterally and happily decided in her heart that Ye Qiao would belong to their Fu Xiu from now on.

Ye Qiao's hand was sore from drawing. She shook her arm and realized it wasn't over yet. Unable to contain her anger any longer, she gave Lei Yun the middle finger.

When will this thunderstorm ever end?

"..."

Xie Chuxue's first reaction was to grab her two dazed junior disciples and sprint away from Ye Qiao.

next second.

A thunderous roar struck towards Ye Qiao.

Ye Qiao was just talking nonsense; nobody had ever told her that lightning tribulations could understand human speech.

Caught completely off guard by the sudden attack, she stood there, numb.

Fortunately, only one bolt of lightning struck. After striking Ye Qiao, she chased after Ming Xuan to strike him again. After Xie Chuxue ran back, she reached out and poked Ye Qiao.

"Are you alright?"

"It's alright." Ye Qiao slowly exhaled a puff of black smoke. "I just feel like my pockets are leaking electricity."

Xie Chuxue clicked her tongue: "What a fine girl, how come she only has a mouth?"

Ye Qiao actually felt fine, and even felt quite refreshed after being struck by lightning. She almost couldn't resist the urge to raise her middle finger and strike two more lightning bolts.

The Mingxuan Thunder Tribulation lasted until the afternoon before finally ending, and the group was almost dozing off while waiting.

Such a commotion attracted the attention of other sects as well.

"Mingxuan's thunderclouds?"

"That child's talent is indeed extraordinary."

"After all, they are direct descendants of the Ming family. This year, apart from Ye Qiao, all the members of Changming Sect are at the Golden Core stage."

Talisman cultivators were already difficult to deal with, and now there's an additional Golden Core cultivator. It's still uncertain who will be the winner of the third secret realm.

The four of them sat cross-legged and waited. Xie Chuxue had already lay down on the ground and started to sleep when Ye Qiao's sudden exclamation startled him awake.

"Junior Uncle, my spiritual root has grown up."

"?" This was the first time Xue Yu had encountered something like this. He opened his eyes wide in surprise and doubt. "Eh?"

Can a spiritual root still grow?

"What?" Xie Chuxue sat up in shock from her deathbed, opened her eyes, and her light brown eyes became much clearer.

Ye Qiao's spiritual root has always been small and thin. Even without using spiritual energy to probe it, one can sense it. In addition, she sees it every day, so she has a good idea of ​​whether her spiritual root has grown or not.

The sudden growth of a small section was extremely unusual for Ye Qiao.

Can a spiritual root still grow? Xie Chuxue also harbored the same question in her heart.
