After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

"I opened the Spirit Herb Garden with the intention of providing the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak with herbs to heal them in time when they are injured. But after what happened today, I think it is no longer necessary to keep the Spirit Herb Garden open."

As Chu Luobai spoke, he formed a hand seal and channeled the spiritual energy in his body into the protective formation beneath the spirit herb garden.

Instantly, a bright blue light shone forth, enveloping the entire herb garden.

This is a formation that only the owner of the Spirit Herb Garden can activate. The surrounding disciples stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

"What's going on? Wasn't this herb garden supposed to belong to Master, and that Junior Sister Yu Rou has always been taking care of it?"

"Yes, I've seen Junior Sister Yu Rou busy in the spirit herb garden several times during the sect's rest days."

"I've seen it several times too."

"The last time I came to look for herbs, it was Junior Sister Yu Rou who helped me find them."

"But only the master can activate this protective formation..."

For a moment, all the disciples were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

The path of cultivating immortality has always been fraught with danger. Every single disciple here has been injured and sought spiritual herbs at the Spirit Herb Garden.

When they visited, they often saw Mu Yurou busy in the herb garden.

Subconsciously, he assumed that the incredibly precious Spirit Herb Garden belonged to his master, and that Mu Yurou was simply taking care of it.

Over time, they felt indebted to Mu Yurou and subconsciously became more protective of her.

But now, the truth is that this herb garden actually belongs to the eldest senior sister.

"This herb garden was developed by me by chance two years after I became a disciple of my master, and it has nothing to do with my master."

"Moreover, spiritual herbs are delicate and must be nourished with spiritual energy at night in order to grow healthily. Loosening the soil and watering them during the day will not allow the spiritual herbs to grow."

Upon hearing this, the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak began to look at Mu Yurou with strange expressions.

So Mu Yurou deliberately misled them with something as trivial as loosening the soil and watering...

"That's enough. Things have turned out so badly today, I don't want to say any more. From now on, all disciples of Xiaoyao Peak shall follow the sect's rules and apply for spiritual herbs from the sect's herb hall if they need them, so as to prevent disciples from other peaks from being envious of Xiaoyao Peak."

Chu Luobai shook her head, feigning disappointment, and turned to walk into the spirit herb garden.

Once the protective formation is activated, no one can enter without Chu Luobai's permission.

Those disciples who wanted to plead for mercy were all isolated by the formation, their faces contorted with rage, yet utterly helpless.

Spiritual herbs! Those are free spiritual herbs!

It’s just gone!

You should know that this kind of treatment of receiving free spiritual herbs is only available to Xiaoyao Peak in the entire Qingyun Sword Sect!

The people on the other peaks were already green with envy.

They thought this was a special treatment given to them by their master, but they never expected that this herb garden actually belonged to their eldest sister!

The eldest sister nourished the herbs with her spiritual power every night so that they could use them, but they only cared about thanking Mu Yurou.

Now, because of Mu Yurou's matter, the senior sister has been wronged again.

The eldest sister must have been disappointed in them to close the spirit herb garden...

"Hmph, some people just love to take credit for themselves. Anyone who didn't know better would think the Spirit Herb Garden belonged to them."

"Now look what's happened, Senior Sister is angry, and nobody's useful anymore."

"Cultivate Cold Bone Grass? Bah, you dare to challenge me?"

The thought that they would no longer have free spiritual herbs to use caused some of the disciples to become restless.

However, Mu Yurou usually liked to show concern for the male disciples on Xiaoyao Peak, and given her current pitiful appearance, some male disciples couldn't help but speak up in her defense.

"It's just a Cold Bone Grass, who knew Senior Sister would be so stingy. This can't be entirely blamed on Junior Sister Mu Yurou!"

"Don't touch things that don't belong to you. Is such a simple principle so hard to understand?"

"It's just a Cold Bone Grass, you make it sound so easy. Why don't you give one to your dear junior sister?"

"With such a big mouth, why don't you just buy all the spiritual herbs from the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak from now on?"

The male disciple who spoke up for Mu Yurou was rendered speechless by the rebuttal, his face flushed red as he couldn't utter a word for a long time.

The spiritual herbs are precious; how could a mere disciple like him possibly afford to give them to someone else?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Mu Yurou.

"Dear senior brothers and sisters, please don't be angry with me. Once I'm out of the Cold Prison, I will personally apologize to the eldest senior sister."

"Once Senior Sister calms down, she will definitely be willing to reopen the Spirit Herb Garden."

After speaking softly, Mu Yurou helped Jiang Yuzhe walk towards the Law Enforcement Peak.

Crimson blood dripped onto the ground, reflecting their staggering figures, a pitiful sight.

"It's just a garden of medicinal herbs, we don't need it!"

The disciples who had previously received favors from the two could not hold back any longer and quickly followed after them.

"Even in this situation, there are still people protecting Mu Yurou. It seems I underestimated her in my past life."

Inside the Spirit Herb Garden, Chu Luobai, who possesses the strength of the late-stage Refining Spirit realm, is fully aware of what is happening outside the formation.

In her previous life, she wondered until her death why her junior brothers and sisters from Xiaoyao Peak, who had received so much kindness from her, all chose to stand by Mu Yurou's side.

Now, Chu Luobai finally understood.

It turns out that Mu Yurou had already begun to win people's hearts back then.

Judging from what happened at the Spirit Herb Garden, all the things I did quietly back then were taken by Mu Yurou.

Since all the benefits have been taken by others, all these disciples will remember is the resentment of being forced to practice swordsmanship diligently, with morning and evening lessons never interrupted.

"No wonder my master always taught me to do good deeds anonymously; it's better not to do them at all."

Thinking of his master, Chu Luobai felt a lump in his throat and tears welled up in his eyes.

It was a snowy night back then when I was rescued by my master and brought back to this Xiaoyao Peak.

Later, when their master went into seclusion to cultivate, the responsibility of taking care of the disciples of Xiaoyao Peak fell on her, the eldest senior sister.

In my previous life, I never got to see my master again before I died. I wonder if my master will be sad when he hears the news of my death after he comes out of seclusion?

However, one might also feel fortunate, since in the previous life, before his death he was falsely accused of colluding with the demons. Having such a disgraced disciple was better off dead to a master as righteous and vengeful as his master.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and receiving the reward: Mid-grade Guardian Pill.]

Looking at the brocade box that suddenly appeared in his hand, before he even opened it, a rich fragrance of elixir had already begun to spread out.

The elixirs in this world are mainly divided into four grades: low, medium, and high. Above these are immortal and divine grades, but this is not a realm that Chu Luobai can reach.

In the Qingyun Sect, mid-grade pills are only available to elders. Ordinary disciples can only use common-grade pills, and low-grade pills are extremely precious to them.

There's no way around it, the Qingyun Sword Sect is just poor. All sword cultivators must hone their minds to achieve clarity of sword intent, and they cannot be too attached to material possessions.

The daily maintenance of the spirit sword requires a lot of resources.

As a sword cultivator, one cannot sell the things one creates to recoup some of the losses, unlike alchemy or talisman cultivators.

The biggest way for sword cultivators to make money is to go down the mountain to slay demons and monsters. But slaying demons and monsters always involves fighting. After the battle, the spirit sword is damaged and needs to be repaired.

This created a vicious cycle of poverty.

Chu Luobai went to great lengths to cultivate the spirit herb garden because he didn't want his master and fellow disciples to endure their injuries and wait for them to heal naturally in order to save a little money on medicine.

I never imagined that one day I would be framed because of this herb garden, and that no one would be willing to speak up for me.

"Fine, closing down the Spirit Herb Garden in this lifetime will be a punishment for them."

Chu Luobai sighed. After this incident in her previous life, she felt sorry that her fellow disciples had not closed the Spirit Herb Garden.

In this life, instead of feeding those ungrateful wretches those top-quality spiritual herbs, I'd rather use them myself.

As a sword cultivator, Chu Luobai's own life was actually quite frugal.
