The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

Chu Ying looked at the beautiful sword in Jiang Yingxue's hand and was stunned for a few moments.

Before coming to Xianyun Sect, she had never thought that she would learn sword cultivation in the future, let alone that she would be able to establish her foundation so quickly. Therefore, she had never learned to control a sword. Now, when a sword was suddenly handed to her, she was completely unable to react.

Chu Ying lowered her head and glanced at Jiang Yingxue: "I can fly a sword? I can't."

"It's okay, I'll teach you, just take it first."

Hearing this, Chu Ying had no choice but to bite the bullet and take the sword: "And then?"

"Next, inject spiritual power into the sword and let it resonate with you." As she spoke, she gently held Chu Ying's hand. The moment her fingertips touched the hilt of the sword, Chu Ying felt a gentle spiritual power passing through her wrist and flowing into the sword like a warm current.

"As for controlling the sword," Jiang Yingxue continued, "the key is to unify your mind and body. You have to treat the sword as your partner, not a cold weapon. Feel its pulse, follow its rhythm, and let the spiritual power flow slowly. Then, slowly release your grip, and the sword will float."

Chu Ying was completely bewildered, but she still did as Jiang Yingxue instructed, trying to inject her spiritual energy into the sword. She had initially thought she couldn't do it, but upon trying, the sword actually vibrated slightly, then slowly began to float.

Chu Ying's eyes widened, her mouth wide open in surprise. "Oh my god! Am I some kind of genius? I can do this without even having to do it!"

"Of course it is." Jiang Yingxue was very supportive, but she didn't know that this was because when Chu Ying was flying the sword just now, Jiang Yingxue had infused her with extra spiritual power, which made her spiritual veins unobstructed, which made her succeed in one try.

Jiang Yingxue then added, "But there's also a bit of luck involved. Flying a sword requires constant practice."

Chu Ying nodded. Just as she was about to ask Jiang Yingxue how she knew the sword-controlling technique, Jiang Yingxue quickly changed the subject: "Stop talking so much. Hurry up and go to the Poison Mist Forest first."

"Poison Mist Forest!" Wan Jinan looked at the direction Chu Ying was heading in the crystal ball and stood up in fear. "She's crazy! She's running towards the secret realm just after building her foundation. Hurry and find someone to stop her!"

In the examination hall, the heads of several peaks and some inner disciples were sitting around a round table, watching the performance of the candidates in Qiankun Valley.

Wan Jinan was very confident in Chu Ying, so he didn't look carefully at first, but when he came to his senses, he found that both of them had run to the Poison Mist Forest!

Seeing his panicked expression, the Second Peak Master smiled and waved his hand, saying in a leisurely tone, "Hey, Xiao Wan, you used to be so carefree. Why are you so nervous today? Those kids know it's the Poison Mist Forest. They flew there specifically on their swords, so they must have their own plans. And according to exam regulations, we're not allowed to interfere unless the candidates actively request help. If you go to save her now, won't she lose points?"

"Oh my god." Wan Jinan suddenly shouted, "Chu Ying is fine, but why bring Jiang Yingxue, who is in the Qi Refining Stage, to the Poison Mist Forest? She's already an inner sect disciple, and she's still going in to join in the fun. It really worries me to death."

Wan Jinan was restless and paced around the round table anxiously, which made the peak masters next to him happy.

After all, each of them had extended an olive branch to Chu Ying, but they never thought that Chu Ying would finally choose the most unsuccessful Diyifeng.

Just as Wan Jinan was getting anxious, Yan Chuan calmly looked at the image in the crystal ball, frowned slightly, and said calmly: "In fact, their intentions are quite obvious."

He pointed at the figures of Chu Ying and Jiang Yingxue in the crystal ball and said slowly, "Fortune and honor are sought in danger. Chu Ying's goal isn't just to pass this exam; she wants to defeat He Qingfeng. Look, He Qingfeng isn't idle either. He's heading towards the Heart-Eating Abyss. The more dangerous the place, the higher the level of the magical and divine beasts. They're taking risks, fighting tooth and nail to get high scores."

"Hmph," Wan Jin'an grumbled angrily after hearing this. "Even if they risk their lives, they shouldn't be fighting like this! They're jumping straight into a desperate situation! The Misty Forest is full of poisonous gas. If they go in without any preparation, they'll probably be poisoned to death before they even see the monsters."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Yingxue pulled out a small, exquisite pill bottle from her sleeve and calmly poured out two shimmering pills. She casually handed one to Chu Ying and swallowed the other herself.

Wan Jinan couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what is that...?"

"That's the fifth-grade detoxification pill we made," a voice from a male disciple from the Fifth Peak said faintly behind them. He continued, "Yesterday, I was on duty at the Treasure Pavilion, and Junior Sister Yingxue came to us and bought two detoxification pills. I was wondering what she was buying them for, since they're not cheap. Now I understand. They're probably to detoxify the Poison Mist Forest."

Wan Jinan quickly asked, "How much is it?"

The male disciple scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said slowly: "One hundred spirit stones... one."

"What!?" Wan Jin'an's eyes widened, clearly shocked by the figure. "One hundred spirit stones for one? Didn't that mean she spent two hundred spirit stones yesterday?"

"Yes, Junior Sister seems to be quite rich..."

On the other side, the two people who took the detoxification pills began to walk into the poisonous fog forest.

This place is very eerie, with a lavender mist all around. The air is filled with a pungent smell of herbs mixed with the smell of rotten earth, which makes people feel a little stuffy in the chest.

The ground was covered with tangled vines, clinging to rocks and dead trees like twisted arms. These vines were covered in sharp thorns, emitting a strange, dark red sheen that looked as if they were oozing with venom, a formidable sight.

Looking up, the trees in the poisonous fog forest were towering into the clouds, and the branches and leaves were so dense that they almost blocked out the sky. The sunlight could hardly penetrate, leaving only a few dim rays of light shining through the gaps between the trees, barely illuminating the road under my feet.

Chu Ying swallowed and asked, "A divine beast living in a place like this wouldn't be very ugly, right..."

Jiang Yingxue: ...

Is this the point?

But she still patiently replied: "I haven't seen it, but judging by its name, Senluo Qinghe shouldn't be ugly."

"Senluo Qinghe? What is that?"

"Of course it's the beast you came here to subdue. It likes to stay by the lake. Let's look for it somewhere with water. Don't be distracted."

"Oh." Chu Ying nodded and wondered, "Yingxue, why do I feel like you know everything? You don't look like someone in the Qi Refining Stage at all."

Jiang Yingxue was exploring the way ahead when she gave a perfunctory smile and said calmly, "As for me, I only know some of the contents in the books. It's just empty talk."
