The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Not far from Jingxin Hall, in the bamboo forest.

A group of people dressed in black, their faces covered up so that only their eyes and noses were visible.

They were clearly disguised, carrying sword boxes belonging to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and appeared on the only road leading from the Tranquil Heart Hall to the training camp.

The man in the lead grinned maliciously.

"I figured out Jinfo Temple last night. There's still half an hour before the training camp starts, and Chi Miao hasn't arrived yet. As long as we dig a trap here in advance and set up a smokescreen, Chi Miao will definitely fall into it."

"She brought this on herself, daring to humiliate me like this! I'll make sure she's utterly disgraced in front of the elders of Jinfo Temple!"

Although we can't harm Chi Miao's life right now, some minor actions won't have any impact.

Other men in black gave it a thumbs up:

"As expected of the young sect leader, he's truly brilliant!"

"Exactly! If Chi Miao is late on the first day, it will definitely leave a bad impression on the elders. The Golden Buddha Temple might even want the Golden Token back!"

"Killing multiple birds with one stone! That's amazing, Young Sect Master!"

"Hmm... Young Sect Master, I'm a little worried that we'll be recognized, which could easily cause trouble."

Wenren Yi: "What are you worried about? We got up early this morning and disguised ourselves like this, who could recognize us?"

As he spoke, he shook the sword box belonging to the Heavenly Sword Sect on his back.

"Alright... fine, young sect master."

"Alright, everyone get to work. Dig a big hole, and she'll regret it!"

Having seen all of this clearly through his Dharma eye, Jingming fell silent.

He remained truly silent for a long time.

Do the people of the Heavenly Sword Sect... lack brains?

Carrying a large sword box on your back and calling me "Young Sect Master" at every turn, are you afraid people won't recognize you?

That's it.

He closed his eyes and couldn't bear to watch anymore.

His gaze swept toward the Jingxin Hall.

Consider this a return gift for stealing your amazing skill.

He also wanted to see how you would handle this kind of situation.

Jingming's lips twitched.

A piece of paper appeared in front of me, with several large characters drawn on it.

"Look at the bamboo forest."

……

After Chi Miao prepared the medicinal bath for Rong Xuanji, the two soaked in it for a short while before coming out.

The medicinal effect is too strong; it should not be soaked for too long.

After soaking in the medicinal bath, Rong Xuanji was deeply shocked: "It can actually transform the toxins in my body! What kind of rare and precious herbs were used in this?"

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at her spatial ring.

There aren't many spirit stones left inside.

Her income is actually quite high. In addition to the income from the Hehuan Sect, she also occasionally takes on bounties from the Juesha Hall. Her income is definitely the highest among the younger generation.

Unfortunately, her medicinal bath expenses were too high, costing at least a hundred high-grade spirit stones a month!

Despite her glamorous appearance, she actually owns very few new clothes. She often wears the same two outfits repeatedly, or she occasionally takes apart old clothes and makes new ones herself.

She's very poor!

She used the prescription given to her by Chi Miao, which actually transformed the toxins in her body into a powerful and extremely strange "poisonous spiritual power".

This is even stronger than the Heavenly Poison Body she cultivated!

It reduced her pain while greatly increasing her strength.

This medicinal bath... is extraordinary!

Chi Miao is even more impressive!

She only spent an hour with Chi Miao, but her improvement was more than ten times better than if she had focused on her own cultivation!

Is this what it means to be an unparalleled genius, one who can overpower the masses?

"That's amazing..."

However, she definitely couldn't afford the cost of the medicinal herbs for the bath.

She bit her lip, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke: "Chi Miao, please make this medicinal bath for me. You can use any rare and precious herbs you like. I... I can't afford it now, but I will definitely pay you back in the future!"

She won't need the previous medicinal baths anymore. Once she completely resolves her Heavenly Poison Body, she'll definitely have the money to pay back the debt.

She refused to believe that she could live for a thousand years and still not be able to pay back her debts after working for a thousand years!

If all else fails, once she takes power, she'll mortgage the Hehuan Sect to Chi Miao!

However, Chi Miao just stared at her in shock.

Rong Xuanji felt nervous under her gaze, and then hesitated to speak: "Don't look at me like that. I've been taking medicinal baths for so many years, and I don't have much money left. If you don't want to pay on credit, I'll help you kill whoever you want in the future."

Chi Miao: "No... you, a top-tier genius, can't even afford a single high-grade spirit stone?"

Rong Xuanji: "How could that be! I'm not that ugly, okay?"

Wait, that's not right.

"A high-grade spirit stone?!"

She almost cracked her voice when she said those words.

Chi Miao took out the bill and handed it to her: "Take a look for yourself."

Rong Xuanji picked up the bill.

"Healing herb, snake tree bark..."

These are not particularly precious medicinal herbs; they are even common herbs found everywhere in the mortal world. Together, they are worth only a few low-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, the most expensive part was actually Chi Miao's craftsmanship fee, which amounted to only one high-grade spirit stone.

In other words, Chi Miao simply wiped out the money for the medicinal herbs, since it wasn't even a fraction of the cost.

Rong Xuanji was dumbfounded.

She felt a little dizzy.

"This...how is this possible? You wouldn't write a fake form just to please me, would you?"

Chi Miao: "?"

"Me, trying to please you?"

She didn't say anything else, but her eyes gave off a certain feeling...

That feeling of "Are you alright?"

Not cursing is dirtier than cursing.

Rong Xuanji blushed, wishing she could disappear into a hole.

Indeed, given Chi Miao's status and influence, there's absolutely no need for her to curry favor with her.

With her talent, catching up with them is only a matter of time, and leaving them behind is the same.

Chi Miao has no need to please anyone.

So...that means—

She looked at Chi Miao and suddenly felt a maternal glow emanating from behind him.

So gentle!

So dazzling!

Could it be that Chi Miao was born a selfless and devoted great person?

Rong Xuanji was somewhat moved, feeling a warm current slowly flowing into her chest, and even wanted to shed tears.

"No one has ever been so selfless and kind to me before..."

Everyone has an ulterior motive.

Those who lust after her beauty will make her a victim of their own self-interest, while those who climb on her's coattails will use her to make more friends.

No one has ever been as selfless as Chi Miao in caring for her, thinking of her needs, and solving her biggest problem.

Suddenly, Rong Xuanji burst into tears.

Chi Miao was slightly frightened and quickly stepped forward to wipe away her tears.

So gentle!

At the same time, Chi Miao quickly spoke up: "Hey, hey, hey, don't cry. If you don't want to pay back the money, just say so. I don't want your labor fee anymore, okay? It's not like I'm extorting you."

Rong Xuanji: "..."

Suddenly, the cement sealed the core.

Warmth will numb you.

She took out a high-grade spirit stone and placed it directly into Chi Miao's palm.

"Take it!"

After saying that, he snorted and walked to the other side angrily.

Chi Miao was completely bewildered.

"baffling……"

It seems that everyone in the cultivation world has some kind of illness.

Especially in terms of the brain.

She studied it all night and figured out the formula through the power of chemistry. With her precious brain, shouldn't she deserve this top-grade spirit stone?

Seriously! If it weren't for the fact that you're a pretty lady, Jin Shengfei would have shouted a hundred times over.

That is, at this time.

Rong Xuanji saw a note that had suddenly appeared on the table.

"Chi Miao, come and see what this is?"

Chi Miao stepped forward.

"To see the bamboo forest??"
