After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 69 Ancient Talisman
There are two main differences between a top-grade Spirit Gathering Pearl and those of higher, middle, and lower grades. First, its space is extremely large, allowing it to hold significantly more spiritual energy. Second, a top-grade Spirit Gathering Pearl absorbs nearby spiritual energy much faster, almost a thousand times faster than a lower-grade one.

"With it, we can cultivate together around it from now on, and our speed will increase more than three times," Liu Feng sighed. "However, the prerequisite is that we need to let it absorb some spiritual energy first."

"Our Immortal Sect has pretty good spiritual energy, otherwise there wouldn't have been this strange change in the spiritual energy of the back mountain, with mushrooms everywhere," Hu Jiu said.

Xu Yihan nodded, then shook his head. "I've specifically felt and compared it. The spiritual energy is indeed much better than before, but it's still inferior to those top sects or some holy lands."

"Ah, it's a pity we can't enter that kind of place, otherwise, we would have made a fortune by bringing this Spirit Gathering Pearl with us."

The top-grade Spirit Gathering Pearl has an enormous capacity. If they could fill it up in a place with abundant spiritual energy, it would be enough for all of them to cultivate for more than a year.

Everyone felt a little regretful, but they didn't think too much about it, because having such a treasure was incredibly lucky, and they couldn't expect too much.

Hu Jiu suddenly remembered something, “That’s right, I recently discovered an ancient rune called the Heaven-Covering Rune while learning about runes. This rune is extremely wonderful. It can actually set up a hidden formation that can not only conceal its shape but also its smell! Anyone or any beast that accidentally gets close to the formation will unconsciously avoid it without even feeling it.”

Before Meng Ling could react, he said, "That sounds impressive, but what's the use?"

"Purple Mystic Fruit!" Hu Jiu slapped his thigh. "As long as we can get this Heaven-Covering Talisman, we can openly plant and harvest our Purple Mystic Fruit!"

Everyone was overjoyed.

"Oh right, how could I forget about this?"

"Yes, the Purple Mystic Fruit has already sprouted, so it looks like it was successfully grown. If we really have this talisman array, then we won't have to worry about it being eaten."

The Purple Mystic Fruit tastes so good that it easily attracts monsters to steal it, which is a major concern for everyone.

However, the seeds have only just been planted and have only sprouted; they are still a long way from growing up, so worrying about this is unnecessary, and naturally, no solution has been considered.

"Is this talisman difficult to draw? Can you make it?" Ji Qingqing asked eagerly.

Hu Jiu's smile vanished, and she became somewhat embarrassed. "This... no, because this talisman... is only half complete."

"what?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Hu Jiu explained that there was only a detailed written description of the Heaven-Covering Talisman, but the specific runes were lost, and only half of them remained.

Because the book that recorded it was a unique copy, and it was damaged due to improper preservation, only half of it is intact, while the other half is rotten beyond recognition and has no reference value.

Runes are not all symmetrical. For complex runes, even missing a tenth or a half is extremely difficult to complete, let alone half of them.

"Can you complete it?" Meng Ling asked again.

Hu Jiu scratched his head. "To be honest, let alone completing it, I can't even understand it. I'm completely clueless."

Well, that means it's hopeless.

Everyone could only manage a helpless, bitter smile.

"Alright, these things can't be rushed. You should focus on your studies first. Maybe we can solve this problem in the future," Xu Yihan comforted him. "The Purple Profound Fruit isn't urgent. It doesn't emit any scent before the flower falls and the fruit ripens, so it won't attract any demonic beasts."

Once the Purple Mystic Fruit appears, it will emit a strong aroma regardless of whether it is ripe or not.

So it's never too late to come up with a solution before then.

Hu Jiu nodded and glanced at Du Yue.

Du Yue needs to work hard to learn and practice; the sect leader's leg will depend on her to heal it.

The same applies to me; the task of protecting the Purple Mystic Fruit now falls on my shoulders.

He took a deep breath, his anxiety about cultivation growing even stronger. Meanwhile, Mo Jiuwei's little teeth had started to grow.

The small teeth are the two lower teeth in the middle, and they grow very quickly.

She had been drinking liquid food for so long that even when she ate fruit or other foods, they would melt in her mouth, and she was already craving them.

Now that my teeth have grown in, they are very itchy, and I really want to find something to rub against them.

Chen Lan specially found a kind of fruit that was just right for her small teeth to grind into, with just the right hardness so as not to hurt her.

So Mo Jiuwei would hold the fruit every day, taking a bite here and there.

"The medicinal bath is finally finished, and Jiuwei's slender legs are finally healed."

"Yes, when Jiuwei gets a little older, she can learn to walk like other children."

On this day, after the final medicinal bath, everyone held a small celebration for Jiuwei.

Now her legs are completely normal, straight, and fair and tender, like small lotus root segments.

As long as someone supports her upper body, her legs can take steps, strong and powerful, and she no longer looks like she used to be disabled.

During today's medicinal bath, Mo Jiuwei felt almost no pain, only a slight tingling and itching sensation, so she knew that the medicinal bath would be over today.

[Great! I can learn to walk now!]

However, I still like being carried, and I hope to be carried more often in the future, with walking as a secondary activity, hehe.

Oh dear, now that my leg is healed, I can't keep snuggling in Senior Sister Chen's arms all the time. That's really not good news.

If her legs remain bad, she can take it for granted that she will be carried around and won't have to walk on her own.

But things are better now. Even if we don't need to walk now, we'll still have to rely on ourselves when we're one or two years old.

Thinking about it this way, Mo Jiuwei felt a little disappointed.

Chen Lan suppressed a laugh and reached out to pat her head. "Jiuwei is still a child. I haven't held her enough yet. I really hope she can learn to walk slowly so I can hold her forever."

“Even after Jiuwei learns to walk, we can still carry her,” Meng Ling said with a smile.

Mo Jiuwei's eyes lit up with joy!
Yes, that's it!

Senior Sister Meng and Senior Sister Chen are so kind; their words really resonated with me.

Both of them almost laughed, but they secretly exchanged a glance and held it in.

Soon, the day for the Hundred Schools of Thought to begin their studies arrived.

Liu Feng and Chen Lan, who have the highest cultivation levels, will represent the Xianlai Sect and go to the Qingyue Sect to study for a month.

Qingyue Sect ranks among the top ten sects in the entire continent, making it a well-deserved major sect. Disciples from Xianlai Sect will be assigned there, along with disciples from twenty other sects.

The number of people in each group varies, ranging from a minimum of two to a maximum of ten.

Some disciples were assigned to other sects, all of which were major sects.

"Just thinking about those three thousand crystals makes my heart ache," Liu Feng said through gritted teeth, clutching his chest.

He's made so much money in just one month; it'll be hard for him to earn it back even if he wants to learn how to make money.
