I started with five spiritual roots, and I maxed out my sideline

Zhuang Li looked up at the sky. As long as he didn't see the contemptuous looks below, he wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

As long as he doesn't look, it won't be embarrassing.

Zhuang Li also blocked his own hearing.

Out of sight, out of mind; out of hearing, out of mind.

Du Xiaoxiao looked at her master curiously, with her head held high.

This is something to be proud of them, right?

Du Xiaoxiao also imitated Zhuang Li's manner, but after hearing the discussions from the audience, Du Xiaoxiao could no longer hold back.

"There are only twelve people in the Xuanling Sect?"

"Yes, this time we got first place entirely thanks to the youngest disciple."

"What a pity, she actually joined the Xuanling Sect. In the Xuanling Sect, even dogs don't go there to find food."

"You're using a dog as an analogy for no reason. Isn't that an insult to dogs?"

Du Xiaoxiao: ...

Well, she didn't expect the Xuanling Sect to be so unpopular.

It’s hard for my seniors to go out and fight for resources on their own.

After the sect ranking awards were presented, it was time to present awards to the disciples. Du Xiaoxiao was in the top 25, so the reward was already given and she didn't need to continue competing.

Only when the rewards for the top ten are different will a competition be held to determine the winner.

At this point, the sect competition was completed.

Du Xiaoxiao and her fellow students also set out on their return journey.

But the way back this time might be a little uneasy, because some people had evil intentions at the award ceremony.

This time when he returned, Zhuang Li set off overnight. He did not even bring along the sect from which he had rented a seat on the flying boat. He fled overnight.

Now that he was back in the sect and there was a protective formation guarding it, he was no longer afraid of the huge sum of money being robbed.

Otherwise, how can he defend himself with a man in the late Jindan stage?

I can't defend it even with my life!

It’s better to run away quickly before those people react!

Du Xiaoxiao felt that her master was very wise. If he couldn't win, he would just run away. That was very classic.

Zhuang Li didn't care about the flying boat going at full speed to burn spirit stones. Anyway, what Du Xiaoxiao earned was enough for him to squander.

Du Xiaoxiao didn't know that her master had already extended his claws to her bonus.

She got on the flying boat and began to meditate and practice.

It was not convenient to study high-level elixirs on the flying boat, so she put it aside for the time being and meditated first to replenish her spiritual power before drawing talismans.

You can practice and make money at the same time.

However, less than two days after she returned to freedom, her flying boat was attacked.

Du Xiaoxiao hurried out to see what was going on.

"You cowards of the Xuanling Sect! Get out of here! How dare you, a bunch of scoundrels, escape?"

Zhuang Li looked at the arrogant faces outside and became anxious for a moment, not knowing what to do.

He knew that with the nature of the Xuanling Sect, it would be impossible for him to return safely to the sect.

Not to mention the lack of achievements in previous years, he won the first place this year. He couldn't guarantee that the remaining Xuanling Sect in the world would not be wiped out.

I should have let my disciples take it easy and not take first place. There’s nothing wrong with being last.

However, the Xuanling Sect has been in decline for many years, and it may be only a matter of time before it goes to extinction. If I succeed this time, perhaps I will be remembered longer in this world, right?

Zhuang Li felt a little regretful and pressed the attack button of the flying boat.

Although this is an old model from hundreds of years ago, it is also a top-level flying boat. How could some people in the Jindan stage break through its defense?

It just consumes a lot of spirit stones.

Compared to spirit stones, Zhuang Li still hopes that these disciples can return to the sect safely.

So he pressed the attack button without hesitation.

After a few explosions, there seemed to be no movement outside.

Du Xiaoxiao stood up and paused.

So, what's going on?

Could it be possible that this flying boat could attack the enemy like a battleship?

Du Xiaoxiao wondered in her heart.

"Junior sister, please take out the spirit stones. I guess the spirit stones from this year's sect competition won't be enough for Master to make." Ning Jun resignedly took out his bag of spirit stones and waited for Zhuang Li to come to him to use them.

A crack appeared on Du Xiaoxiao's smiling face.

what?

Does the flying boat consume spirit stones in this way?

The spirit stones she had worked so hard to earn were going to go into her master’s pocket?

Although it is possible, she is getting further and further away from her small goal. So why is she trying so hard to get the first place in the sect competition?

what? !

What is she doing for this?

Du Xiaoxiao's heart sank and she almost couldn't breathe.

"Sixth Junior Brother, be careful with your words." Lin Qingdu stepped forward and pulled Ning Jun off.

Ning Jun stared at his senior brother.

"Junior sister, just sit there and relax. Master probably won't come to ask you for money." Lin Qingdu knew that the 300,000 top-grade spirit stones in Zhuang Li's hand should be enough.

In addition, the master has some assets, and he won’t bring that much with him when he travels, but he won’t use his disciples’ spirit stones casually.

If there is, he just forgot about it. You should ask him for it.

Oh, he also forgot to tell his fellow juniors, so it caused a stress reaction for them.

Okay, Lin Qingdu admitted that it was his fault.

"You can ask the master for back what you gave him before. He is a little forgetful." Me too.

Lin Qingdu added silently at the end.

Everyone was silent. Well, the master is really strong.

He is worthy of being the oldest person in the sect.

Du Xiaoxiao propped up her face and looked at the eldest senior brother. It seemed that the eldest senior brother was forgetful because he inherited his master's habit.

It would be the best if she could keep the spirit stone, but it doesn't matter if she can't, she doesn't care that little bit.

After all, she could still resell pills and other things through the system, but she wasn't short of money to that extent right now, so she wouldn't get these things for the time being.

She needs to have the corresponding strength and produce the corresponding things, only then will it be better.

Soon, the flying boat began to fly steadily again, and Du Xiaoxiao's heart settled down. But this time, no matter what she said, she didn't want to meditate and practice.

That incident just now really scared her. She almost couldn't hold her breath and went crazy.

It's impossible to roll it secretly.

It seems that I can only read books carefully.

Reading can also help her improve herself. This time when she returns, she will first visit the sect’s library.

In this sect competition, without the support of any martial arts, she experienced the feeling of being restrained.

For example, the fact that she was eliminated in the top 25 this time was due to many factors on her part.

Du Xiaoxiao found her own shortcomings and eliminated them one by one, so that she could become stronger and stronger.

Taking out the Mysterious Book of Stars, Du Xiaoxiao planned to continue studying.

Although the Xingxiu Xuanshu told her how to breathe in and out spiritual energy, perhaps she herself did not study it thoroughly, and there might be some mystery hidden in it?

Du Xiaoxiao firmly believes that this book will not be that simple.

Many words and sentences were in ancient Chinese characters that she could not understand. It seemed that she still needed to learn some ancient Chinese characters to translate them.

It seems that she will have to study the Mysterious Book of Stars for some time to come.
