Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

Heaven Sword Peak.

Chen Chunyang emerged from the Sword Cave and retrieved his belongings.

Sensing the emergence of demonic energy, he had hidden some of his possessions to avoid detection.

However, he hadn't anticipated Luo Yangtian and the others arriving so swiftly, and in his haste to conceal everything, he missed a small detail.

The underground spiritual vein map of逍遥Peak—he had forgotten to hide it.

After exiting the Sword Cave, Chen Chunyang summoned all his disciples for a routine inspection.

In truth, he knew that none of the Heaven Sword Peak disciples were problematic.

Those who were had already been apprehended and were likely being held in the "little black room."

From the Sect's side, the Second Elder also stepped forward to speak.

"The source of the demonic energy has been identified as a deliberate leak by the Demonic Joy Palace's Old Ancestor, released upon Heaven Sword Peak to lure everyone here while he escaped alone."

"Fortunately, the Sect Master detected it in time and returned to suppress it, ensuring the safety of our Star River Sect!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples within the Sect finally relaxed their vigilance.

"I knew it, how could anything happen with the Sect Master around? Senior Brother, put me down, no need to run anymore."

"What is mere demonic energy? Even the Demonic Joy Palace's Old Ancestor was suppressed by the Sect Master with a single slap. A little bit of demonic energy isn't even enough to fill his teeth."

"With such a powerful Sect Master in the Star River Sect, what is there to fear from the Demonic Sect?"

"Long live the Sect Master!!"

Many disciples shouted loudly, chanting "Long live the Sect Master."

The higher-ups of the Star River Sect knew that the root of the demonic energy had not yet been thoroughly investigated.

The announced news was merely to stabilize the uneasy hearts of the disciples.

Inside the Star River Hall.

Luo Yangtian stood upon the Star River, his back to the assembled Elders, and slowly said, "The Nine Peaks Competition is about to begin, and I do not want any more incidents to occur within the Sect during this time!"

"Understood!" The Elders cupped their hands in response.

"First Elder, is the venue for the Nine Peaks Competition ready?"

The First Elder stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Only the final stage remains unfinished; the rest has been arranged."

"Mm, expedite the process," Luo Yangtian said softly.

"Yes!" The First Elder responded.

"Second Elder, manage the internal affairs of the Sect well. I do not want the previous incident to happen again," Luo Yangtian said in a deep voice.

The incident he was referring to was not the demonic energy matter, but rather the incident where a disciple slandered逍遥Peak.

"This subordinate understands!" The Second Elder cupped his hands.

"Third Elder, you are responsible for matters outside the Sect. Report any movements from the Demonic Sect at any time. Also, supervise the competition venue well, and remember not to leak any information," Luo Yangtian then instructed.

"Yes!" The Third Elder responded with cupped hands.

Luo Yangtian closed his eyes and waved his hand.

On逍遥Peak.

Ye Kong pulled on his fishing rod, Qi Refining +1...

A day of fishing was often this simple, unadorned, and monotonous.

Qi Refining, never-ending!

Ye Kong stood up, stretched languidly, returned to the courtyard, and, taking out a lighter, lit a cigarette.

Inhale, exhale~

Life is but this.

Peach Mountain.

As Lin Yaoyao was about to continue her cultivation, she saw小白riding a husky, following her closely.

Reaching the edge of the pond, Lin Yaoyao stopped and clenched her fists.

"Why are you following me?" Lin Yaoyao turned around, asking with a sweet smile.

"No reason, no reason, can you please unclench your fists first?"小白hurriedly explained.

Lin Yaoyao released her fists, quietly watching小白.

"Senior Sister, don't you think Master's cultivation is very weak?"小白asked.

"I do," Lin Yaoyao said calmly.

She had also tried to get Master to cultivate, but unfortunately, she had failed.

"Senior Sister, it's fine if Master is weak, but he doesn't even share the meat with us,"小白complained.

Hearing this, Lin Yaoyao calmly looked at小白, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Senior Sister, Master is both weak and possessive of food. Why are you still staying on逍遥Peak? You could go to a better place,"小白said.

Lin Yaoyao's brow furrowed upon hearing this.

"I, Lin Yaoyao, will not leave this place," Lin Yaoyao said solemnly.

And she warned小白, "If you think your wings have hardened, then you are welcome to fly away."

"However, you were brought back by Master. Think carefully about it yourself."

小白muttered in his heart: What do you mean I was brought back by Master? I clearly found this place myself.

I'm not flying away. It was hard enough to find a quiet place to cultivate.

Moreover, I haven't taken revenge for Master destroying my demonic body and ruining my cultivation.

Thinking of this,小白raised his head and said, "Senior Sister, I,小白, am also a person who knows how to be grateful. I will not leave."

"Then why did you ask me to leave?" Lin Yaoyao's face grew even colder.

"I didn't, I was just asking,"小白hurriedly explained.

Lin Yaoyao looked at小白in front of her and said faintly, "If there's nothing else, go back and cultivate. I'm going to cultivate."

"Okay,"小白responded, riding the husky away.

I didn't expect Senior Sister to be so devoted to Master.

It's really hard to win her over.

Lin Yaoyao's phoenix eyes were cold as she watched小白ride the husky away.

Hmph, just because you're at the Foundation Establishment stage, you think your wings have hardened.

You'll only realize when you go out and venture that, in the eyes of some experts, you at the Foundation Establishment stage are nothing more than ants that can be crushed at will.

小白ah,小白, you have rebellious bones behind your head. Senior Sister has to keep an eye on you.

Your origins are a mystery in themselves. Master doesn't care, but I do!

After Lin Yaoyao secretly finished thinking, she entered the pond and circulated the Nine Dragons Overlord Body, cultivating together with the Profound Yellow Art.

Unknowingly, she began to mainly cultivate the Profound Yellow Art and supplement it with the Nine Dragons Overlord Body Technique.

This subtle influence went unnoticed by her.

On the shore, Little Blue, watching the direction in which小白left, galloped away.

After小白returned to his thatched hut, he kicked the husky out the door.

"Stay outside for me obediently and don't disturb my cultivation."

Husky: Woof?

小白sat on the bed with a frown, pondering deeply.

How to persuade Senior Sister?

Senior Sister's aptitude is very strong, and her talent is not weak. Her cultivation speed is faster than mine.

Wherever I go, she will always be one step ahead of me.

With Senior Sister around, I will never be able to suppress Master in this lifetime.

Alas, it's too difficult for me.

小白sighed in his heart.

Outside the thatched hut.

Little Blue walked over with tiger strides, looked at the husky in front of him, and called out.

"Meow. (Good dog doesn't block the way!)"

"Woof woof? (What do you want to do?)"

"Meow. (He has rebellious bones and scolds the master. I want to give him a little lesson.)"

Hearing this, the husky made way and actively pushed the door open.

"Woof woof. (Be gentle, he is my little master!)"

"You dead dog, weren't you told to guard the door for me outside?"小白said unhappily.

Little Blue walked in and jumped on the bed.

小白looked at Little Blue Cat suspiciously, frowning slightly.

"Senior Sister's cat? What are you doing in my room?"

"Bang! Bang!"

Little Blue slapped down with both paws, directly knocking小白to the ground.

小白was immediately dumbfounded.

Are Senior Sister's cats all this strong?

Little Blue then jumped off the bed and gave小白a fierce beating.

The husky stood outside and took a look, quietly sneaking in and adding a kick.

Serves you right for kicking me earlier!

"Senior Sister, save me! Master, save me!"

小白shouted mournfully on the ground.

Little Blue pressed down on him, preventing him from moving.
