After returning to Tianshu Peak, Pei Nianyi decided to go into seclusion.

Fang Qi’s transformation into a demon was not something she could intervene in with her current level of cultivation. All she could do now was to cultivate with peace of mind and improve her cultivation.

I haven't had time to digest the elixirs and talismans I learned in Wen Dao Hall, and I also need to consolidate what I learned from this experience outside.

After reporting the matter of retreat to Master, Master Taiwu smiled and said, "Go into retreat with peace of mind. I'll take care of everything."

"Thank you, Master."

. . . . . .

Pei Nianyi returned to the courtyard, adjusted the formation, and officially began his retreat.

During her retreat, she ignored external affairs and focused only on her spiritual practice.

Although he could not actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to avoid breaking through to the late stage of foundation building too quickly, before going into seclusion, Pei Nianyi asked his senior brother to help prepare many materials for alchemy and talisman drawing, and he practiced alchemy and talisman drawing with all his might.

When he reached a bottleneck in alchemy and talisman drawing, Pei Nianyi began to practice various martial arts techniques desperately. There are 113 heroes in Honor of Kings.

The sun and the moon rotate, the stars move, and time passes day by day. Before I knew it, half a year had passed.

With the arrival of autumn, the blue Taoist robes on the seven inner gate peaks fluttered among the mountain clouds. Sword practitioners were demonstrating their sword moves, and spiritual power surged wherever they passed.

On Tianshu Peak, Pei Nianyi removed the defensive formation, opened the courtyard door that had not been opened for a long time, and ended his retreat.

The entrance to the courtyard was crowded with communication tokens. The moment the gate opened, a token appeared in front of her domineeringly.

Pei Nian was stunned for a moment. He reached out and took the token in his hand to examine it carefully. The token was pitch black with the word "war" engraved on it.

What is this? Pei Nianyi was confused and was about to put the token into the storage ring when suddenly a voice came from the token.

"Xiao Changfeng from Tianji Peak challenges Pei Nianyi from Tianshu Peak. Tomorrow at noon, there is no evasion of the battle!"

Pei Nianyi turned the token over and over for a long time, and it turned out to be a more advanced communication token. As expected of the first sect, the communication token had to be made so high-end.

Pei Nianyi complained in his heart while replying to the remaining communication talismans at the door. These were greetings from Xia Chen, Su Huaining, Yin Tian and other friends.

Before she could finish her reply, three people appeared at the gate of her courtyard.

Su Huaining with an anxious look, Xia Chen making faces, and Yin Tian who always likes to stick to her senior brother.

Seeing Pei Nianyi, Su Huaining asked anxiously: "Xiaoyi, did you receive the challenge token?"

"Challenge token?" Pei Nianyi took out the pitch-black token. "Is this what you're talking about?"

"Who challenges you?" Yin Tian asked curiously when she saw the challenge order in Pei Nianyi's hand.

"He's from Tianji Peak, his name seems to be Xiao Changfeng. I've never seen him before." Pei Nianyi answered truthfully.

Xia Chen's eyes were filled with confusion: "What challenge order? Who is Xiao Changfeng? What's going on?"

Yin Tian explained to Xia Chen, "The challenge order is a feature of the Sword Sect. The disciples of the Sword Sect are belligerent, and disciples with the same level of cultivation can challenge each other at will."

"Junior Sister Pei is now in the Foundation Establishment Stage, which means that all disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage can challenge her at will."

"What will happen if the challenge fails?" Xia Chen continued to ask.

"Challenges and competitions are life-or-death. Most disciples compete in friendly competitions. So far, there has been no case of someone killing someone during a challenge, but there have been cases of injuries that have completely ruined their path."

"The most important thing now is to save your life! Also, Junior Sister Pei is the last disciple of Master Taiwu, and she is also the one that Senior Uncle Xie wants to take in as his disciple."

"If we lose, then the reputation of the Sect Master and the Uncle Master will be... Although the Sword Sect is the number one sect, the internal competition is very fierce, and the differences between the peaks are not so peaceful. After all, the resources for cultivation are limited."

After hearing Yin Tian's explanation, Xia Chen was shocked: "Doesn't that mean Xiaoyi can't lose and must win?"

Yin Tian said seriously, "Yes, Pei Nianyi cannot lose! This concerns her life and her path, as well as the Sect Leader and Uncle Xie."

Su Huaining frowned and asked, "Do you have any grudge against Xiao Changfeng? Why would he challenge you?"

Pei Nian's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he shook his head: "I don't know him, I've never seen him, and I don't know why there are always villains who want to harm me!" After saying that, the three of them looked at Yin Tian in unison: "Senior Sister Yin!"

Frightened by the three people's burning gazes, Yin Tian took three steps back: "I... I know... I know a little."

"This Xiao Changfeng is a disciple of Tianji Peak, and his brother Xiao Huaifeng is the eldest senior brother of Tianji Peak. Xiao Changfeng has been in love with Jiang Nianrou for a long time, and he listens to her and obeys her in everything." Yin Tian said this and glanced at Pei Nianyi meaningfully.

Pei Nian understood in a second.

All right! The lickspittle is here to cause trouble!

"Xiao Changfeng is at the late foundation building stage, and his brother Xiao Huaifeng is at the golden elixir stage. They have a deep brotherly bond."

"Wouldn't it be like beating the little one and then the big one?"

"Almost. Although Xiao Huaifeng, as a Jindan stage cultivator, cannot challenge you, as the eldest senior brother of Tianji Peak, he still has many followers."

After hearing Yin Tian's words, Pei Nianyi explained the grudge between him and Jiang Nianrou to Xia Chen and Su Huaining, and then said, "I am confident in fighting Xiao Changfeng, so don't worry."

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying to reassure them, the solemn expressions of the three of them eased a little.

Pei Nian raised his eyebrows slightly and asked mischievously, "Are you interested in making a fortune?"

When Xia Chen and the other two heard about earning spirit stones, they came over with great interest.

"For tomorrow's competition, there will definitely be senior brothers and sisters opening the betting. Late Foundation Establishment Stage vs. Middle Foundation Establishment Stage. Go spread some fake news to raise my odds. I guarantee you'll make a killing!"

She had already said so much, and the three of them naturally understood.

Yin Tian smiled and said, "It seems that Junior Sister Pei is indeed confident of victory. Then tomorrow I look forward to Junior Sister helping me make a fortune!"

Xia Chen and Su Huaining also said in unison: "As long as you are confident, I will wait to collect the spirit stones tomorrow."

Su Huaining took out dozens of bottles of pills from his storage bag.

"Have you used up all the pills I gave you last time? This is the new medicine I recently refined. Keep it safe. You might need it tomorrow."

Pei Nian took a look and saw that they were all pills for healing wounds and restoring spiritual power.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, her eyes gleamed, and she said maliciously, "Xiao Su, you can try to refine some poisonous pills, such as Hanxiao Banbudian, Itching Powder, and Corpse Transformation Pill. This way you will have another way to protect yourself."

As soon as he heard about alchemy, Su Huaining immediately became interested. He stared at Pei Nianyi with shining eyes and motioned her to continue.

"I only know the direction of refining the poison, and I don't know anything else. You have to study the details yourself." Pei Nian waved his hand, indicating that this was all he knew.

Su Huaining didn't want to stay any longer at this moment. After confirming that Pei Nianyi was fine, he quickly left and returned to Yuheng Peak to start researching new elixirs.

Xia Chen and Yin Tian told Pei Nianyi to be more careful tomorrow, and then left one after another.
