My junior sister sees everyone as a heretical cultivator.

Chapter 34 Even Foundation Establishment stage experts must suffer such humiliation?

The next day, sunlight tore through the window paper.

Su Ling'er opened her eyes, stretched, and felt a warm current rise from her dantian, nourishing her entire body.

The spiritual energy was more abundant than ever before.

I have finally reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!
This was a realm she wouldn't have dared to even dream of when she was at Qingxu Temple.

Normally speaking, even if she diligently cultivates and truly reaches the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, she would probably already be over seventy years old.

And now, it only took him one day to go from the third level of Qi Refining to the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!
The depth and power of this demonic sect are truly unfathomable!

But the sticky, warm blood from yesterday seemed to have splashed back onto her face.

The disciple's dying cry of despair, and the so-called "love," still lingered in her mind.

Three days...

She sat up, clenched her fists, and said, "At most, five days!"
She must gather enough intelligence within these five days, before being thrown onto that forging platform and subjected to countless hammer blows, send some of it back, and then... escape!
“Knock, knock, knock.”

The knocking came unexpectedly.

"Junior Sister, are you awake?"

"I still have things to do today! Wake up, the sun's already high in the sky!"

Lin Qingfeng's voice slipped in through the crack in the door.

coming!

Su Ling'er took a deep breath, her face instantly switching to an expression that showed she had not yet recovered from the grief of her senior brother dying because of his love for her yesterday.

Those eyes held a hint of weariness and confusion, making one feel sorry for them.

She composed herself and her clothes before walking to the door and opening the dilapidated wooden door.

He looked towards the senior disciple outside the door...

……

She had already walked the path to the Hall of Transmission of Skills twice.

Lin Qingfeng walked ahead, his black robes fluttering, his silhouette ethereal.

"Junior Sister, are you still upset about what happened to Junior Brother yesterday?"

Su Ling'er lowered her head, her voice filled with a sense of loss, and did not answer.

Lin Qingfeng sighed, put his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, and slowly said:

"Alas... the world of cultivation is inherently cruel; life and death are often separated by a single thought."

My actions yesterday were merely a normal defensive counterattack after being attacked, and also to show you that relying on external things is ultimately a wrong path.

You heard what that junior brother said too; if he had cultivated the "Sword Refining Technique," he wouldn't have died!

It was precisely because he was too fragile that he couldn't even withstand a single magical artifact, which led to his death and the dissipation of his cultivation!
The Sword Refining Technique requires one to hone oneself to be indestructible, so that one can be independent of external objects and fearless of powerful enemies!

Your Daoist heart is one in a million; you are truly an excellent candidate to cultivate this method!

Su Ling'er's steps faltered slightly.

What a wonderful approach to guiding and persuading!
What a thoughtful senior brother who has such a long-term vision for his junior sister's future!
If I hadn't witnessed you taking lives with a smile, treating human life as a means of performance;
If I hadn't overheard you all loudly plotting to tie me up and make me practice...

I almost believed it!
……

Inside the Hall of Transmission of Skills, it was still that magnificent hall.

A figure was walking out from the depths of the hall; it was Elder Qian.

His steps remained stiff, and his eyes remained vacant.

Whenever Su Ling'er saw Elder Qian like this, her belief in "eradicating the demonic path" became even stronger.

It is truly pitiful and lamentable that the righteous predecessors could only be turned into flesh and blood puppets after their deaths, serving the demonic sect.

But thinking of the "True Explanation of the Return to Origin of All Things" that she had received from Elder Qian, she still held a sliver of hope.

She quickly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Elder Qian:
"Su Ling'er greets Elder Qian."

I am now at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining and feel that I am about to advance to the next level, but I am distressed because I do not yet have a method to protect myself.

"Does the sect possess any suitable cultivation techniques for disciples, enabling me to better serve the sect?"

Her actions were partly to gather intelligence and discover martial arts techniques for Qingxu Temple, and partly because she genuinely hoped to acquire another divine skill.

Elder Qian's lifeless eyes finally fell on her.

After a moment, he spoke, his voice devoid of any emotion:
“You, Su Ling’er, have made no contribution to the sect.”

"No reward without merit."

"There is no suitable cultivation method for you here."

"If you wish to seek immortality, you must first contribute to your sect."

Elder Qian turned his head to the left side of the Transmission Hall.
"Your way out is in the inner sanctum, at the mission elder's place."

...The mission elder's office was bustling with activity.

Hundreds of disciples crowded in front of a huge stone wall, spitting as they spoke.

"Let's team up to conquer the 75th floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower! Anyone interested? We're missing a tank, any fellow disciples or brothers want to join?"

"Yesterday, I escorted Qian Buyu to the pavilion to find the ancient book he had forgotten, but the guy got stuck in the stone again!"

My mission failed. Be careful when accepting this awful mission, everyone! If you get stuck, you'll have to give up!

On the stone wall, hundreds of jade slips emitted light, some bright and some dim.

Su Ling'er's gaze swept over the jade slips.

Hunted down the demons on the 25th floor of the Demon-Sealing Tower fifteen times.

[Escort Elder Qian to the pavilion to find the ancient book]

[Assisting Elder Qian in managing the Spirit Beast Garden]

[Go to the Cliff of Repentance to guard against disciples who violate the precepts.]

These tasks, apart from Elder Qian's matter, are all quite serious.

Moreover, these people did not seem to be coerced; on the contrary, they seemed to be enjoying themselves.

"Junior sister, it's your turn."

The tasks here are relatively simple since you just accepted them.

But the more you do, the better the rewards will be.

award……

Thinking of the spirit stones from the Demon-Locking Tower and the gift of the Inquiry Ladder that directly boosted her cultivation, Su Ling'er felt a faint sense of anticipation.

What kind of mission will it be?
What kind of rewards will there be?

She stood in front of the mission elder, whose face was exactly the same as Elder Qian's, coldly looking at her.

He reached out and handed her a jade slip, the dimmer and most lackluster of all the jade slips.

Su Ling'er took the jade slip and saw two lines of ancient characters slowly appear on its surface.

[Sweep away the fallen leaves of the sect]

[Carry water to fill the nine water vats behind the mountain]

Su Ling'er: "..."

The world fell silent.

She stared at the two lines of text, her mind reeling.

Did she see it wrong?
Sweep up fallen leaves?

Fill the water tank to the brim?

She looked up at the tasks on the stone wall, such as "hunting monsters" and "escorting elders," then looked down at the surging spiritual energy in her dantian.

That power clearly told her that she, Su Ling'er, was a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!
It is a being that is only one step away from establishing its foundation!

In Qingxu Temple, someone who can reach the Great Perfection of Qi Refining at her age must be an outstanding member of the inner sect!

She's already at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, and they're still making her do this kind of menial work?!
Isn't this the kind of menial work that only outer disciples at the first, second, or third level of Qi Refining should do?!

Could it be that Guixi Sect intends to use this opportunity to humiliate her?!
I want to subject her to complete and utter mental torture!

They wanted to use this method to smooth out her rough edges, destroy her dignity, and pave the way for the next step of torture!

But... it's alright.

If she were just a young girl who had just entered the immortal sect, her resolve to pursue the Dao would likely be shaken by this incident.

But who is she?

She was Su Ling'er, who had done countless odd jobs at Qingxu Temple and relied on her diligence and hard work to be valued by the sect leader and given this undercover mission!

This still couldn't break her spirit.

Just then, a strong wind blew in from outside the palace.

A figure descended on a sword, exuding an astonishing aura.

He is a Foundation Establishment stage expert!
Su Ling'er felt a chill run down her spine.

Without even glancing at anyone else, the Foundation Establishment senior brother walked straight to the mission elder, skillfully took a similarly dim jade slip, and then turned to leave.

Su Ling'er saw it clearly.

The jade slip also contained the same instructions: "Sweep up fallen leaves in the sect" and "Fetch water to fill nine water vats!"
What's happening here? !

She couldn't understand it.

Even Foundation Establishment stage experts are only fit to do these menial tasks and suffer such humiliation?!
