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

The first time he signed up to join the sect, he smashed a huge pit in the back mountain. After slacking off for two months, he became a disciple in a daze. Then, after only a few months as a disciple, he and another disciple burned down the library.

He is truly a divine being.

Zhou Xingyun fell into deep thought. Had they taken in a junior sister, or picked up a troublemaker?

The words are divided into two parts.

Ye Qiao and Ming Xuan arrived at the forbidden area together. This was the place where the founder of the Changming Sect ascended to heaven. It was said that many treasures were left behind, which is why it was designated as a forbidden area.

In the world of cultivation, opportunities and dangers always coexist.

Ye Qiao simply wanted to copy a book; she had no intention of overestimating her abilities and going treasure hunting.

The area is blessed with beautiful mountains and clear waters, imbued with a mysterious ancient charm. Rather than a forbidden area, it is more like a tranquil and scenic place for cultivation, with abundant spiritual energy, making it perfect for setting up a spirit-gathering array.

When the two arrived at the forbidden area, there were already people sitting inside.

The figure looked strangely familiar.

Ye Qiao looked closely and realized that this was her beloved third senior brother.

When Xue Yu saw them enter, he waved warmly and leaned back slightly, "Ah. What brings you here?"

This is a forbidden area, usually a place where disciples are punished by being forced to reflect on their mistakes. Ordinary people really can't get in.

Ye Qiao: "Oh. I burned down the library."

Xue Yu paused for a moment, then looked at Ming Xuan: "What about him?"

Ye Qiao: "Oh. He burned it with me."

Xue Yu: Have his fellow disciples finally gone mad?

He was silent for a moment, then asked gently, "Do you have a grudge against the manager?"

Ye Qiao shook her head: "No. I was just playing with fire and accidentally burned the book."

Xue Yu: "..."

Playing with fire?

Would a normal person play that kind of thing late at night?

People clerk?

"And you?" Mingxuan, who had been driven from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Study, was already numb.

He found that nothing good ever happened when he was with his junior sister.

"How did you get in?"

Xue Yu is one of the few among them with a good temper. In the past, only he and Mu Chongxi were often punished by being confined to the forbidden area, and now Ye Qiao has also been added to the list.

The journey to the forbidden area together is never lonely.

Xue Yu said calmly, "I made a few pills and gave them to my fellow disciples, but unexpectedly, the medicine had problems and poisoned them."

Ye Qiao: "..." What kind of crooked cult disciples are these?

Mingxuan, sitting on the ground, began urging Ye Qiao, "Junior Sister, hurry up and copy it. I can't leave until you're finished."

Forced to work, Ye Qiao took out the dozen or so recording stones from her mustard seed bag, then took out a clean sheet of Xuan paper. She probed the recording stones with her divine sense, closed her eyes for a moment, and the pages of talisman books were turned.

Ye Qiao focused intently on memorizing each word and phrase, and then picked up a pen to begin copying them down.

Because she was in a rush to finish the work, Ye Qiao's handwriting was like scribbles, so unruly and undisciplined that even her parents wouldn't recognize it.

Seeing this, Xue Yu quietly nudged her senior brother next to her with her elbow, "What is Junior Sister doing?"

Copying books?

Mingxuan explained, "She burned more than a dozen of the talisman books on the third floor, and then, in order to appease the manager's anger, Junior Sister promised that she could copy all of them down."

Xue Yu was slightly taken aback, then copied it all down.

If she really has such a memory, then what kind of genius must his junior sister be?

Ye Qiao was so engrossed in copying that her writing speed gradually increased. She brought out the same spirit she had when preparing for the exam: study until you drop, or you die.

She spent the entire day copying from the book, at a speed that left the two people next to her speechless.

As dawn broke, time passed little by little.

"Help me up, I can still learn."

Ye Qiao, who had been sitting still, raised her head and let out a soft breath. Ming Xuan wondered if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to see a small ghost coming out of Ye Qiao's mouth.

The days in the forbidden area were getting harder and harder. Mingxuan was now counting on her to finish copying the book and take him out. Upon hearing this, he immediately massaged her shoulders and said, "Good luck, junior sister."

Half an hour later, Ye Qiao lay down on the ground: "I'm not learning anymore, let me die."

I have a headache and feel dizzy.

Ye Qiao reached out and touched the tip of her nose; her hand was covered in blood.

She was in even more pain.

Xue Yu became anxious and quickly massaged her legs: "Hang in there, junior sister, our survival depends entirely on you."

"I have some energy-restoring pills here. Eat more so you can continue your journey."

Once the junior sister finishes copying, he might be able to ascend to heaven along with her and escape from the forbidden area.

Memorizing more than a dozen talisman books in two days would have taken a huge toll on one's spiritual energy, so whenever Ye Qiao felt dizzy, Xue Yu would thoughtfully offer her a spirit-replenishing pill.

Ye Qiao's hand holding the pill trembled slightly.

Mingxuan said earnestly, "I believe that as long as you work hard enough, Junior Sister, we can live the life we ​​want."

Ye Qiao: "..." Thank you all. You are truly my good senior brothers.

Ye Qiao took a deep breath, and after taking the medicine, she got up and continued copying. She wrote quickly, her mind filled with various complicated talisman drawing methods, their functions, and how to draw talismans on magical artifacts.

The Earth Escape Talisman, the Vajra Talisman, and the Four Directions Array Talisman were all swirling wildly in her mind.

After this experience, Ye Qiao is absolutely certain that no one knows how to draw talismans better than her.

Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have been so reckless!!

Because she needed to draw the talismans while copying the book, she was in a hurry and drew the talismans very quickly, each one drawn in one stroke, elegant and neat.

Ye Qiao found that her sea of ​​consciousness seemed to have widened.

The original owner of this body had impure spiritual roots and poor spiritual consciousness; she fainted after drawing only a few talismans.

Now she has miraculously discovered that her sea of ​​consciousness has widened, and she no longer gets headaches so easily, even without taking the Mind-Nourishing Pill.

Does copying books really help to increase one's knowledge capacity?

"You broke through the realm?" Just as Ye Qiao was pondering, Ming Xuan stopped crossing his legs.

Ye Qiao then took a moment to assess it, and said, "It seems so."

Peak of Qi Refining.

They are only one step away from reaching the foundation stage.

She realized that it wasn't copying books that broadened her mind, but rather that her mind had broken through her barrier, which naturally broadened her mind as well.

Mingxuan was stunned. "Breaking through the Qi Refining Realm is this easy now?" The transition from the late stage of Qi Refining to the peak of Qi Refining is a hurdle. Without a sudden enlightenment within three days, it is rare to break through the realm so smoothly.

Is this what they mean by "the more you give up, the luckier you get"?

Xue Yu rested his chin on his hand, pondering carefully: "Is it possible that Junior Sister broke through to the next level by comprehending talismans?"

Alchemists break through realms by refining pills, and talisman cultivators naturally break through realms by drawing talismans.

Ye Qiao had been frantically studying talisman books for two days, which makes sense.

Mingxuan's expression widened even more: "But isn't she a sword cultivator?"

Is that even possible?!

Xue Yu seemed thoughtful: "Have you ever heard of dual cultivation of two paths?"

"Isn't this something that only a very small number of people can do?" Mingxuan still found it unbelievable. Only a very small number of people with high comprehension can cultivate both the sword and the pill. It is said that the founder of the Changming Sect was a dual cultivator of both the sword and the pill.

But not everyone is like the founding master.

Ye Qiao slapped his hand away, stopping the two of them from overthinking. She said, "Perhaps it's just because the spiritual energy here is so rich."

That's the only explanation; otherwise, could I really be practicing both sword and talisman cultivation?
