After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

When Jiang Liqian saw this, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately realized that he had seen her previous actions clearly, which meant that the Penumbra Pearl was useless to him.

How could she still live a comfortable life in Qimingzhai? What the eldest brother said about the "beautiful scenery" was just a lie?

Okay, when she gets back, she will definitely have a good talk with Third Senior Sister about this matter!

"Please sit down." Jiang Yueming's eyes swept over the half-shadow bead hidden in her collar intentionally or unintentionally. He put away the folding fan, opened the scriptures, and spoke softly, asking Jiang Liqian to come in and sit down.

Jiang Liqian subconsciously frowned due to her intuition. She touched the penumbra bead on her neck, glanced around the hall, and saw Shui Lian'er waving at her. After hesitating for a moment, she walked over and sat next to her.

Shui Lian'er was extremely happy and wanted to pull her to talk to her, but she was afraid that the old man above would be unhappy, so she could only look at her fiercely.

Jiang Liqian felt quite uncomfortable and was afraid that Jiang Yueming would find fault with her because of this, so she secretly put a silence talisman on Shui Lian'er's back.

Fortunately, the talismans given by the eldest brother were just enough for her to use.

Shui Lian'er didn't know that she was being secretly "attacked" by her "good sister" and was still staring at Jiang Liqian. It was not until Jiang Yueming, who was in the upper seat, coughed lightly that she quickly sat down obediently.

Jiang Yueming looked at the new batch of seedlings coming down. They were all full of energy and vigor. They were not afraid at all of the path of cultivating immortals, which might take a lifetime to complete. He was very satisfied.

Except for that someone in the corner who's an eyesore.

Lifeless and without ambition.

Retracting his gaze, he smiled and spoke to the disciples below: "Do you know that the great path of cultivation is divided into several realms, and at which realm can one break through the door to immortality?"

Shui Lian'er grew up in Feixia Peak, so this kind of basic knowledge was easy for her. She immediately raised her hand to indicate that she wanted to answer.

Jiang Yueming deliberately paused, glanced at Jiang Liqian, and then slowly asked Shui Lianer to answer.

Jiang Liqian had to scramble to tear off the silencing talisman. Fortunately, they were sitting in the last row and there was no one behind them, otherwise Jiang Liqian would not be able to escape the sight of the people behind them.

"To reply to Master Zhai, there are nine realms of cultivation, namely Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Return to the Abyss, Integration, Mahayana, and Tribulation Crossing. Each realm contains multiple sub-realms. For example, there are twelve levels in the Qi Refining stage, and four levels in the Foundation Establishment stage. Each level is a sub-realm. However, even breaking through a sub-realm is not easy. It requires days and months of accumulation and continuous practice day and night. You also need to go out from time to time to gain some experience and improve your state of mind, so as to avoid the hidden demons in your heart, which will backfire and ultimately fail your cultivation."

Shui Lian'er spoke a long and eloquent speech, which was very clear and easy to understand. Although she was still young, she was very brave. Even when facing Zhai Lao, she held her head high and was very proud of herself.

Jiang Yueming nodded in admiration: "Not bad, I have read two volumes of the book."

Shui Lian'er's eyebrows were almost raised.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yueming changed the subject, his voice becoming quieter, but he still looked at Shui Lian'er with a smile: "If I remember correctly, you have been at Feixia Peak for six years since you were born. You have your biological mother as your mentor, and you were exposed to the sect's inner principles early on. I wonder what your current level of cultivation is. Are you diligent in your practice day and night?"

"Ah? I...I..." Shui Lian'er's proud aura disappeared, her face immediately turned red, and she stammered, not knowing how to respond.

She had indeed stayed in Feixia Peak for six years, but her mother had doted on her very much during these six years. It was up to her whether to practice or not. Anyway, her mother was there to protect her, so who would dare to make trouble for her?

She hasn't even memorized all the mental skills yet, let alone her "cultivation level"!

The people around saw Shui Lian'er hesitating and blushing. The few people who had been scolded by her before all shouted in their hearts that it was great, and the sarcastic smiles on their faces were almost reaching their ears.

Shui Lian'er saw it all and was furious. She had never been humiliated like this before, and she suddenly felt a burning sense of grievance in her heart, and almost dropped her little pearl on the spot.

Jiang Liqian watched this scene. She knew that Jiang Yueming was just killing a chicken to scare the monkeys and wanted to give all the disobedient disciples a warning. He didn't care about a little girl's face or how much it was worth to her.

In her previous life, he was also so unkind and cruel. She couldn't stand it, so she stood up for him and handed him a handle. For disrespecting teachers, the first punishment he received was to copy half of the scriptures in Lanxing Pavilion.

Because she was the master's disciple, and the master was upright and would not show favoritism to her, she could only copy books day and night. In the end, she could not even lift the pen, and her whole arm felt like it was crushed by Mount Kunlun. The pain was so severe that she could not sleep at night.

In order to stop the pain and to breathe a sigh of relief, she managed to draw Qi into her body on the second day after memorizing the Qiankun Heart Method. Within three days, her cultivation level reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, making her the focus of everyone in the Qiankun Sect at that time and a legend in the entire cultivation world.

No one has gone before.

Even the Immortal Master Qingzhi did not have such a speed of cultivation as hers.

In this life, at this moment, is she going to repeat the story of her previous life? Will she go against Jiang Yueming again for Shui Lian'er?

But she is just a short-lived person with less than a month left to live. Why should she get involved in all this muddy water of right and wrong?

However, before she could figure it out, her legs had already surpassed her brain and she stood up suddenly.

Everyone's eyes shifted from Shui Lian'er to her face.

Jiang Liqian secretly scolded herself for being too nosy and always meddling in other people's business. But when she saw Shui Lian'er's eyes suddenly turn red and she looked aggrieved, she suddenly lost her temper.

Forget it, the worst that could happen is that she will just accept the punishment. If she has to copy scriptures again this time, then she will copy them slowly until she dies in a month, and then it will be all over.

"To the Master, since ancient times, cultivation has started with cultivating the mind. The level of cultivation depends on diligence, while the firmness of the mind depends on perception. Although Shui Lian'er is slightly behind in cultivation, it is all due to her perception of the mind. I believe it must be due to the wise guidance of the Master of Hongyun Peak that she has obtained this precious treasure."

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but every word was clear, and Jiang Yueming smiled.

This little kid dares to use the peak master to pressure him. He has a bad temper.

"You make a lot of sense." He nodded, then suddenly unfurled his folding fan and asked, "But I wonder how you knew about Peak Master Hongyun teaching her about the state of mind? If I remember correctly, you're from the mortal realm, right? How come you know more about the sect's inner workings than anyone here?"

Jiang Liqian was speechless and shocked by the question.

"I……"

"How about this, I'll search your soul and I'll know the cause and effect of this."

Jiang Liqian froze, then his expression changed drastically: "The sect has a rule that prohibits the unauthorized use of soul-searching techniques. Is Master Zhai deliberately breaking the law?"
