The Evil Emperor's Beloved

Jing Yueli's space always has the most complete condiments, mainly because Jing Yueli herself loves to eat. If barbecue is missing these people eating, it can't be called barbecue.

"Junior sister, the meat you grilled tastes so good!" Lu Yixin praised while eating.

Feng Xuanyi also gave Jing Yueli a thumbs up while eating. He had no time to speak but gestured with his hands. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he immediately praised her, "Junior Sister, your barbecue skills are still as good as before." The last time they had eaten her barbecue was when they first met in the Sunset Mountains. Although they met several times later, unfortunately they never had the chance to eat barbecue.

As they ate, they chatted. Jing Yueli suddenly thought of something and looked at Jing Wenhao and asked, "Brother, I heard that you were on the Yunhai College Masters List before. How come I haven't seen other people in such a long time?" Logically speaking, they have been in the college for such a long time, it is not possible that they have never met each other.

"Hey, Yueli, you probably don't know this. Most of the disciples who are on the master list are in seclusion, and sometimes they even spend the whole year in seclusion." Feng Xuanyi answered Jing Yueli's questions before Jing Wenhao. "Oh, by the way, except for people like your brother! Hahaha..."

“Those at the top of the master list are all in the Jindan stage. They usually spend most of their time in seclusion, and they will only show up when a secret realm is opened or there is a college competition! For disciples like us who are still in the foundation-building stage, we basically still have to rely on going out for training to achieve promotion.” Jing Wenhao continued to explain following Feng Xuanyi’s words.

"Oh!" Jindan... Hey, Jing Yueli sighed! "Is the number one on the list also in the Jindan stage? Isn't there anyone who has reached the Yuanying stage?"

When this topic was brought up, the cave suddenly became quiet. Jing Yueli also felt the sensitivity of this topic, but she didn't mean to skip it, so she waited for someone among them to answer this question.

"Nascent Soul? How easy is that?" Feng Xuanyi sighed. Not to mention the secular world, even on Huanyue Island, there were not many people who could reach Nascent Soul.

Jing Wenhao also said, "Disciples of the academy will basically be selected by the sect in the competition every three years before they reach the Jindan stage, and then leave the academy."

"So...it's basically impossible to have a disciple with Nascent Soul cultivation on the list." At this point, Ouyang Rui felt a little disappointed. Whenever he talked about this with his grandfather, the atmosphere was a little depressing. As the head of a college, he naturally hoped that the college could retain these students.

After their explanation, Jing Yueli understood that the academy was simply a place to serve the sect and supply fresh blood. Moreover, the academy couldn't keep these students. As the saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. Everyone wants to go to a higher realm, where there are cultivation resources that the academy doesn't have and heights that can't be reached. If she put herself in his shoes, if she had the chance, she would also leave the academy.

Jing Yueli looked at her brother again, "After this competition, big brother should go to the sect, right?!" In fact, there is no doubt about this, but Jing Yueli still wants to hear Jing Wenhao say it himself.

Jing Wenhao: "Well, me, A Rui, and A Yi should all go!"

Jing Yueli: Yes, and also Ouyang Rui and Feng Xuanyi.

Jing Wenhao touched Jing Yueli's head and smiled. "With our Li'er's cultivation speed, she will also go to the sect after the next competition."

Su Heqin and Dongfang Qiu nodded in tacit understanding. They agreed very much with Jing Wenhao's statement. With Jing Yueli's current cultivation speed, it was indeed true. Maybe she could really break this shackle and break through to the Nascent Soul stage before going to the sect, becoming the first Nascent Soul level disciple in the history of the Yunhai Academy's master list.

Just thinking about it made it seem very possible. The two of them moved in sync, their eyes burning as they looked at Jing Yueli who was still chatting with her brother.

No one would have thought that the inner thoughts of these two people would one day come true.

Time passed quickly. Three days had passed since they arrived at the Fantasy Moon Forest. Jing Yueli and her group had not yet entered the central area and had been training and picking herbs on the periphery.

"Everyone, have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow we will prepare to set out to enter the middle area." Jing Yueli looked at everyone and said after thinking. It's not a good idea to stay on the periphery all the time. It's time to enter the middle area.

"Well, I agree with junior sister's idea. We have picked almost all the spiritual herbs that can be picked outside." This was the first time that Lu Yixin expressed her opinion. During the past few days in the Fantasy Moon Forest, she was like an invisible person. However, she was only interested in spiritual herbs and flowers along the way.

"Hahaha... Senior Sister, you want to hurry to Zhongwei to see what good spiritual herbs are waiting for you!" Jing Yueli couldn't help but doubt the thoughts of her senior sister, as she saw her busy picking spiritual herbs along the way.

“Hahahaha...hahaha...” The other people laughed in an unkind way. This laughter made Lu Yixin feel a little embarrassed, and his ears turned red.

"How could I? We're just thinking about getting into the middle area as quickly as possible to find the destination of our mission!" As he spoke, his voice became lower and he felt he had lost confidence.

It would have been fine if she didn't explain, because after she did, everyone laughed even more happily.

I didn't expect that his senior sister had such a side. The senior sister in the past was really just their senior sister. In the eyes of the disciples of the Alchemy Academy, she was serious and steady. It was also the first time that Feng Xuanyi had seen such a senior sister.

Lu Yixin: "Alright, alright, stop making fun of me. It's true that we want to complete the mission, and it's also true that we want to go to the Central Sphere to pick spiritual herbs. After all, we have to enter the Central Sphere!"

Indeed, they had been delayed for a long time in the outer area. After discussing their plans for entering the inner area, Jing Yueli also gave each of them some life-saving pills and some daily supplies to ensure that they would not be unable to get timely help due to the lack of pills after entering the inner area.

Feng Xuanyi and Lu Yixin also accepted Jing Yueli's pills. They both knew that their junior sister's pills were much better than the ones they made.

The next day, everyone got up at daybreak, ate the food they brought early, packed themselves up and prepared to set off.

The cave where they had rested before was still some distance away from the entrance to the middle enclosure. On the way, Jing Yueli taught the footwork that she had taught Yueyingwei to others as well. This way, if they encountered danger when they reached the middle enclosure, everyone would have multiple ways to save their lives.

The group did not expect that Jing Yueli would teach them such a skill without expecting anything in return, and they did not think that Jing Yueli had to be responsible for their safety. Although Jing Yueli was the one who organized the team this time, they joined the team voluntarily. But now... everyone looked at her with gratitude.

Jing Yueli herself didn't care.
