The female supporting role is really here to mess things up

Mu Jingchen brought Lu Qingxi and Xuan Yi to the center of the talisman hall, where there was an empty talisman refining platform. The sun shone through the skylight onto the platform, making it sparkle. He introduced them to the two, saying, "This is a good place to refine talismans. You two can try making talismans here. If you have any questions, you can ask the brothers around you." After that, he nodded slightly, turned around and left, leaving Lu Qingxi and Xuan Yi beside the talisman refining platform.

Xuan Yi placed the materials given by Mu Jingchen on the table one by one, and then took out the "Immortal Scroll" given by the old hall master. The two opened the pages of the book, compared them with the diagrams on it, and placed the talisman paper and cinnabar. They looked focused, with curiosity and desire for the unknown in their eyes.

The two people who were new to talismans naturally encountered many difficulties. The placement of the talisman paper, the amount of cinnabar used, the order of the strokes... every detail needed to be carefully considered. However, they were not discouraged by this, but instead studied every word and sentence in the "Immortal Talisman" more attentively.

As night fell, the lights in the talisman hall were bright. Lu Qingxi and Xuan Yi still stood by the talisman refining platform, their faces full of fatigue, but their eyes were shining with determination. After a night of hard work, they were rewarded with talismans without any spiritual power. However, they did not give up, and came to the talisman hall early the next morning.

Day after day, the two of them practiced tirelessly. Although their progress was slow, each step was extremely firm. Seeing this, the disciples around them cast curious glances at them. They talked about it and marveled at their perseverance and persistence.

On the fourth day, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the talisman refining platform. Everyone looked over and saw Lu Qingxi and Xuan Yi holding a talisman in each hand, which emitted a faint spiritual power fluctuation. They were actually a second-level defense talisman and a blasting talisman respectively! The disciples around exclaimed in surprise. They couldn't believe that these two people had successfully made talismans with only a book without any guidance.

Mu Jingchen also noticed the movement here, he walked forward and carefully examined the talismans in the hands of the two. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, he knew that these two had never touched talismans before, and they were able to make talismans in just a few days, which was really a rare talent.

He looked at Xuan Yi, and his understanding of him became deeper. Xuan Yi was a mutated wind-attributed spiritual root. Such talent was already against the sky, and now it seemed that it was even more well-deserved. However, what surprised Mu Jingchen even more was Lu Qingxi. She was obviously a pseudo-spiritual root with one of the five elements missing the gold attribute. Such qualifications were not outstanding in the world of cultivation. But Lu Qingxi had shown extraordinary wisdom and insight in the past few days. She analyzed things very carefully and thoroughly, and could always draw inferences from one example, and she had a lot of ideas. Even Xuan Yi was often guided and inspired by her, and opened up more ideas.

After a month of hard work, Xuan Yi and Lu Qingxi worked side by side and drew several third-level defense talismans and blasting talismans together. Xuan Yi originally intended to give all these talismans to Lu Qingxi as a weapon for her self-defense. After all, his original intention of making talismans was for her safety. What's more, whenever he was in trouble, Lu Qingxi could always give him valuable advice and bring him unexpected surprises. However, Lu Qingxi resolutely refused this generous gift and insisted on dividing the talisman into two and keeping it separately. Faced with her persistence, Xuan Yi felt a warm current in his heart and was deeply touched by her kindness and persistence.

At the same time, Ye Youming had just returned from the demon world. He was holding a jade slip and thinking in the courtyard. He had already figured out what was going to happen and had a clear plan for what was going to happen.

The day of the Immortal Sect Competition finally arrived, and Jianxin Sect welcomed the monks from various sects. They gathered in front of Jianxin Sect to participate in this grand competition.

However, a male cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage was stopped by the guarding disciples at the door. The reason was that he brought a spiritual pet with him. The guarding disciples used their spiritual sense to detect the spiritual pet before letting him in.

This little white cat was transformed by the demon king Yan Xiao. Ever since he met Lu Qingxi that day, he couldn't forget her and often recalled her figure in his mind. Knowing that Jianxin Sect would hold the Immortal Sect Competition today, he took a pill that restrained demonic energy and transformed into a spirit pet to sneak into it.

After Yan Xiao followed the male cultivators into Jianxin Sect, he knew that only those who registered in the first three days would be considered as participants, so he carefully observed all the female cultivators present during these three days, but he did not see the figure that made his heart beat that day. He could not help but feel a little disappointed and began to consider whether to sneak away.

However, just as he came out of the spirit pet's body and turned into a little black dog and was about to leave, he was bumped into by Mu Jingxuan who was coming back from the door. Mu Jingxuan fell in love with this cute little black dog at first sight, held it in her arms, and gently asked it if it was lost.

Yan Xiao was annoyed by her behavior and muttered to himself: "What a little black dog, what a cutie! What master? Who is worthy of being the master of a demon king like him!"

However, when he was brought back to her courtyard by the woman and saw the Phoenix on the table, he suddenly realized that the woman in front of him was the woman named Mu Something whom he had approached and talked to before. Then he remembered that the Holy Spirit Pearl was still in Song Hanyi's body. After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he decided to stay for the time being.

In the first three days of the competition, Lu Qingxi only participated in one match, and her opponent was a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. Facing such an opponent, Lu Qingxi seemed to be at ease, and she easily won the match with simple moves. However, as the competition progressed, the difficulty gradually increased, and Lu Qingxi began to seem a little strenuous when competing with cultivators of the same level. She knew the subtlety of her swordsmanship, but her opponent was also good and could often resolve her offensive. At the critical moment, Lu Qingxi had to take out a few blasting talismans and use the power of the talismans to turn the tide of the battle.

Although Lu Qingxi made it to the seventh round of the competition, her performance did not receive the applause of the crowd. In the eyes of the crowd, her strength seemed to be a little insufficient, and she relied on the blasting talisman to win at the critical moment. They felt that a true disciple of the Jianxin School should show a majestic swordsmanship, rather than relying on talismans to win.

Moreover, there were some rumors about Lu Qingxi, and these negative news made people have a worse impression of her. Even if she won the competition, she did not get everyone's applause. Lu Qingxi did not care about this. She knew that she came to participate in the competition not to win others' applause, but to exercise her strength and learn more life-saving moves in practice. She just needed to enter the Jindan stage like the original owner and survive for five hundred years.
