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

What he said was true. In the world of cultivation, there are four types of cultivators who make the most money: alchemy cultivators, talisman cultivators, weapon cultivators, and formation cultivators. Although formation cultivators are not as capable of making money as the first three, they are also extremely well off. In the Tiangan Sect, the Formation Peak is also very wealthy.

Although every peak of the Tiangan Sect is not short of money, sword cultivators are known to be poor. The spirit stones needed to maintain a sword are like flowing water. In his previous life, Jiang Liqian often secretly thought that it would be great if there was a way to get some of the profits from the alchemy cultivators, talisman cultivators, weapon cultivators and formation cultivators.

But she just thought about it and didn't dare to do it.

After all, she didn't want to be beaten by fellow disciples in the sect.

The first cultivator in the world wanted to take her in as his disciple. If it were her in her previous life, she would have cried with joy, but now she felt nothing.

"Senior, you are very kind to me, but my talent is mediocre and I cannot climb the ladder..."

Halfway through his words, he felt a sudden violent shaking under his feet. The next moment, the illusion shattered, the space trembled, and the white jade steps under his feet began to crack.

Jiang Liqian gasped when she saw this.

The Heart-Knocking Ladder is the most precious treasure of the Tiangan Sect. It has never been damaged in thousands of years. Why is it collapsing now?

There was no time to think. Seeing the crack getting bigger and bigger, and the jade steps under her feet were about to break and fall from the sky, Jiang Liqian quickly grabbed the sleeve of Master Zhongdao and ran up desperately.

Every time he ran up a step, a scene from his previous life appeared before his eyes. Jiang Li's breathing became rapid, but he could feel the people around him, so he gritted his teeth and pulled him to run faster.

The space where the Heart-Knocking Ladder is located is actually a small world, and the exit is at the top of the Heart-Knocking Ladder. As long as you exit the Heart-Knocking Ladder, you will be safe.

Jiang Liqian didn't dare to stop. Her heart was beating so hard from running that it almost jumped out of her chest. Beads of sweat the size of beans dripped from her forehead, and soon made her gray little face even dirtier.

The jade steps behind her were breaking and falling faster and faster. Jiang Liqian's palms were sweating. It felt as if there was a ferocious beast chasing them from behind, and she and Master Zhongdao were the prey.

The sound of wind whistled past my ears. I didn't know how long I had been running, but I finally saw the exit shrouded in clouds at the end.

Delighted, Jiang Liqian pushed Master Chongyang out without a second thought, and then staggered out of the exit herself.

As she walked out of the exit, she was stunned for a moment, then she realized what was happening and wanted to go back, but when she turned around, the Heart-Knocking Ladder behind her had disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Liqian stood there in a daze for a long time, until she came to her senses slowly when she felt the familiar, almost imperceptible chill of ice and snow behind her.

Yes, looking at the entire world of cultivation, only the leader of the Tiangan Sect, the Immortal Master Qingzhi, has the ability to take the entire Heart-Knocking Ladder for himself and manipulate it.

And what had she just done? A mere mortal with no spiritual power and no foundation actually dreamed of saving a cultivator whose power could shake the entire cultivation world with a single move?

Haha, she was killed tragically, but she still overestimated her own abilities.

She lowered her head and closed her eyes deeply. Her tattered linen clothes could not withstand the cold wind on the fairy mountain, but her heart was colder than the wind and snow that never melted all year round.

"My little disciple, you..." Master Chongdao was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

He intuitively felt that Jiang Liqian was very talented. After a few simple conversations, he could tell that Jiang Liqian was not a simple beggar. She was so calm and polite that it was not an exaggeration to say that she was the eldest daughter of a family of immortal cultivators. However, he had never thought that she could actually run up the Heart-Knocking Ladder that terrified countless people seeking immortality in one breath, and even pull him along with her.

What surprised and puzzled him even more was that even when faced with such a dangerous situation, she did not escape herself first, but instead ensured the safety of him, the master of the formation cultivation peak.

How old is she? How capable is she?

Even if she came from the mortal realm and didn't know the abilities of cultivators, there was no need for her to do this, not to mention that they actually didn't know each other and only met for the first time today.

Jiang Liqian smiled bitterly and was about to say something to Master Zhongdao, but two heavy coughs were heard from the stands above.

The two were startled to find that there were already quite a few people standing in the square in front of the Tianqian Sect's gate. Everyone was staring at them intently, and the air fell into a strange silence.

On the high platform, a shadow of ice and snow appeared for the first time amidst the swirling clouds and mist. Although it was far away, everyone present still felt the overwhelming sense of oppression.

At this moment, that person was looking coldly at Jiang Liqian below.

Jiang Liqian lowered her head and clenched her hands tightly, not even feeling her nails digging into her palms.

Master Chongdao felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. He stroked his beard, which he had carefully groomed for many years, and was about to say something with a smile. However, the third elder on the high platform glared at him and sent a secret message, telling him to get up quickly.

Taoist Chongdao touched his nose awkwardly, patted Jiang Liqian on the shoulder and told her not to be afraid, she was his designated disciple, there was no doubt about it, and he would take her back to Zhenfeng after the messy disciple-recruiting meeting was over.

Jiang Liqian wanted to refuse, but Master Zhongdao disappeared in a flash and sat down on the platform.

The disciple presiding over the disciple-recruiting ceremony coughed dryly, dismissing the incident as a minor incident worth mentioning. They began to maintain order at the scene, directing all who had ascended the Heart-Knocking Ladder to line up in front of the Spiritual Stone for a spiritual root test. Those whose spiritual roots were confirmed were divided into teams based on their attributes, each one a good or bad, to wait for their chance to choose a master, enter the inner or outer sect, or remain as a servant.

Those who do not want to join the Tiangan Sect will be sent away by spirit boat after the disciple recruitment conference is over.

Jiang Liqian had no interest in any of this. She wanted to go down the mountain immediately and avoid everyone here. However, with her current mortal body, it was impossible for her to climb over the towering Tianqian Mountain alone and return to the lower world except by taking the Heart-Knocking Ladder.

She stood there at a loss for what to do, then moved to stay in an inconspicuous corner, wait for the disciple-recruiting conference to be over, and then follow Lingzhou away.

But her appearance had already attracted everyone's attention. As soon as she moved, someone with bad intentions immediately blocked her way, looked her up and down critically for a long time, and finally, they covered their mouths and noses one by one, as if they smelled something disgusting, and retreated in disgust.

"I don't know where this little beggar came from, but he actually climbed up the ladder of knocking hearts with the help of Master Zhongdao. Tsk tsk, how shameless!"

"Exactly. It's so dirty, smelly, and sour, and yet it still dreams of cultivating immortality. It's simply laughable."

"Hey, you stinky beggar, how did you get to know Master Chongdao? What did he tell you? Did he mention what kind of disciple he wanted?"

"Hey, why are you asking her this? What can a poor little girl like her know?"
