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

Three days later, at dawn, a surge of powerful spiritual energy swept out of Chu Luobai's room.

The spiritual energy surged, and even the disciples who were cultivating in the square in the distance could feel it.

They all stopped what they were doing and looked up into the distance.

"This spiritual power is at the Void Refinement stage."

"That direction... could it be that Senior Sister has emerged from seclusion?"

"Did Senior Sister go into seclusion these past few days to break through to the Void Refinement Realm? Those people still have the nerve to say that Senior Sister abandoned her job because she was angry about the Spirit Herb Garden."

"With the sect competition approaching, Senior Sister should be concerned about our Xiaoyao Peak's ranking."

Without Chu Luobai, Xiaoyao Peak was in complete chaos during this period.

The disciples, having lost face, all turned on Chu Luobai, saying that she had disregarded the bigger picture due to a momentary misunderstanding and was unfit to be the senior sister.

They said it was all because Chu Luobai deliberately caused trouble that they were late and were punished.

At first, no one doubted it, but Chu Luobai didn't come forward to explain for a long time, and others began to have doubts as well.

In addition, when others came to find Chu Luobai, they were all blocked by the formation.

Even the disciples who insisted on early morning practice began to have some doubts.

After all, even when Chu Luobai was in seclusion, she would always respond to her junior brothers and sisters who came to her.

This is the first time in so many years that I have been in such a complete seclusion.

Inside the bamboo house, Chu Luobai opened her eyes. The abundant spiritual energy within her body made her feel refreshed, and the fatigue from her long period of seclusion was swept away.

"This feeling... yes, I have truly broken through to the Void Refinement stage."

In his previous life, Chu Luobai broke through to the Void Refinement stage a year later.

At that time, Jiang Yuzhe had already broken through to the late stage of Refining Spirit with her assistance.

With his newfound strength, Jiang Yuzhe was clearly much more confident. Without even informing Chu Luobai, he led Mu Yurou and several disciples down the mountain to slay demons and monsters.

In the end, it was Chu Luobai who found out and led people down the mountain to barely save their lives.

"In this life, let them be."

Chu Luobai pushed open the door and took a deep breath of fresh air.

After advancing his cultivation level, his five senses were also enhanced, and Chu Luobai could even clearly perceive the faint fragrance of flowers in the air.

"It's almost dawn now, perfect time to go practice in the square."

Years of habit made Chu Luobai feel uncomfortable if he didn't go to the square for morning practice every day.

As soon as Chu Luobai stepped into the square with her sword in hand, she felt several gazes focused on her, some filled with doubt, others with delight.

He raised his eyes and glanced around.

There were significantly fewer disciples in the square; those present were mostly the diligent and hardworking ones from before.

"They are truly a bunch of good-for-nothings. After three days of seclusion, only these people remain."

Chu Luobai sighed inwardly, realizing that she had underestimated those people.

Those people had already given up on morning study on the very first day.

"Senior Sister, it's been a long time."

A disciple stepped forward and bowed with his hands clasped together.

Chu Luobai remembered him; he was a new disciple who had been with the sect for less than a year, and his name was Qiu Lin.

He was also one of the few people in her previous life who were willing to believe her and speak up for her.

Unfortunately, Qiu Lin had only just entered the Void Refinement stage at that time, and his voice carried little weight; no one cared about his thoughts.

Recalling her past life, Chu Luobai felt a mix of emotions, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

"Junior Brother Qiu, it's been a few days. Has your swordsmanship improved recently?"

"Junior brother is foolish and there are some things he doesn't understand. Please enlighten him, senior sister."

Seeing that Chu Luobai was still the senior sister he knew, Qiu Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's alright. I've just entered the Void Refinement Realm and was just looking for someone to spar with."

The two found an open space and began to spar with each other.

"Refinement Realm? Senior Sister actually broke through."

"Senior Sister has broken through to the Void Refinement stage in less than ten years. Her talent is too strong."

"Among the younger generation, apart from that senior brother from the main peak of Qingyun, there shouldn't be anyone stronger than the senior sister, right?"

"It seems we have a chance in this sect competition."

"However, that's not entirely true. There are also quite a few people on other peaks trying to break through to the Void Refinement stage."

The surrounding disciples discussed it, their faces filled with excitement.

After all, the sect competition is related to the resources that each peak can allocate, especially those newly developed secret realms.

The new secret realm is full of rare and precious materials; as long as you can enter, you can make a fortune.

The higher the ranking of a mountain, the more slots it can be allocated to enter the new secret realm.

This was extremely important to these poor sword cultivators.

Amidst the excited crowd, Zhao Yunlan stood out with a blank expression, appearing completely out of place among those around him.

"How could this be? How did Chu Luobai suddenly reach the Void Refinement Realm?"

Zhao Yunlan is now in the mid-stage of the Spirit Refinement realm. According to his thinking, he should have entered the Void Refinement realm earlier than Chu Luobai.

Now that Chu Luobai has suddenly broken through, Zhao Yunlan simply cannot accept it.

How could a woman with less talent than him break through first?

However, no one cared about his thoughts at this moment. The other disciples had already surrounded Qiu Lin when Chu Luobai pointed at him.

The personal guidance from the senior sister at the Refinement Realm is a privilege unavailable on other peaks within the sect.

"With the sect competition approaching, I need to focus entirely on cultivation and have no time to attend to anything else. From now on, early cultivation will be entirely up to my own initiative. The spirit herb garden needs to be nourished with spiritual energy every day, and I am also temporarily unable to attend to it. In the future, if any disciples of Ye Xiaoyao Peak have any needs, they should go to the herb hall to apply. Everything will be prioritized for the sect competition."

"I see that quite a few people are missing today. Perhaps something has delayed them. Please inform each other."

Hearing Chu Luobai's words, the disciples present looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had previously heard from other disciples that the eldest senior sister had deliberately closed the spirit herb garden out of jealousy towards the junior sister, and they had some doubts about it.

Now it seems that the spirit herb garden was actually nurtured by the senior sister with her spiritual power every day!

Those people never mentioned this when they were talking about it.

"Why do you all look so pale? What happened at Xiaoyao Peak during my three days of seclusion?"

Chu Luobai frowned and asked. Although she didn't want to get involved in those people's affairs, as the senior sister, she still had to put on a show.

According to the system, a smiling tiger is always more popular than a kind and suffering person.

"Senior sister, actually, since you went into seclusion, no one else has come to practice early in the morning except for us, and..."

After hesitating for a moment, Qiu Lin slowly spoke.

"And what?"

Chu Luobai gestured for Qiu Lin to continue.

"Moreover, they were punished for offending the elders and were forced to reflect on their mistakes at the Cliff of Repentance. They have not dared to return to this day."

“It’s already hard enough to train every morning, and I can understand if they want to rest for a day or two, but offending the elders is unforgivable. Even I can’t help them.”

Chu Luobai shook her head, her face full of disapproval.

In any cultivation sect, the elders hold absolute power. Ordinary disciples who dare to challenge the elders' authority are practically courting death.

In his previous life, Jiang Yuzhe had also offended the sect elders for Mu Yurou.

It was only by sending all the spiritual herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden, along with all the spirit stones that his master had left him before going into seclusion, that the two of them were barely saved.

However, Chu Luobai still didn't gain anything from this matter.

Jiang Yuzhe and Mu Yurou resented her for not coming before they were tortured, but for making them suffer before she arrived.

The other junior brothers and sisters also complained about why she gave away all the spiritual herbs in the herb garden, leaving them with no spiritual herbs to use when they were injured.

In the end, only Chu Luobai was resented by everyone, while Jiang Yuzhe and Mu Yurou, the two instigators, managed to absolve themselves of all responsibility.

In this life, Chu Luobai wanted to see how these people would extricate themselves from the elder's anger without her.
