Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

Teacher Yu looked at Ling Yi and said meaningfully, "Sometimes being too curious is not a good thing."

Ling Yi understood what Teacher Yu meant, but she couldn't help being curious.

"Whether you help or not, be careful," Teacher Yu said. "The dean has already told you what needs to be said, so don't fall into any traps."

Ling Yi nodded, indicating that she understood.

Teacher Yu didn't say anything more, turned around and left, and Ling Yi continued the lesson.

...

Three days passed quickly. On the afternoon before his departure, Ling Yi finished his cultivation class and went to see Lin Xinze to tell him about his upcoming trip.

The round trip plus the month of training means this departure will take almost two months.

When Lin Xinze learned that Ling Yi was leaving for two months, tears immediately welled up in his eyes: "Sister, can't you take me with you?"

Ling Yi: "No."

"Okay." Lin Xinze was a little disappointed, but he still obediently listened: "Then go ahead, little sister. I'll miss you."

Ling looked at him and said, "Don't leave the courtyard alone while I'm gone. Try to stay with the director as much as possible, understand?"

Lin Xinze nodded: "Little sister, I will be a good girl."

Ling Yi didn't say much to Lin Xinze. After greeting him, she went to see the dean, spoke with him, and then left.

The next morning, the students from the Second-Level First Affiliated Hospital gathered at the square early.

After confirming that all the students from the First Affiliated College had arrived, Teacher Yu looked at the teacher beside her and asked, "The students from the Fourth Affiliated College haven't arrived yet?"

When asked, the teacher quickly replied, "I've already urged them, and they said they're on their way."

Teacher Yu was somewhat displeased, but didn't say much. After a while, the four students from the fourth-level college and the accompanying teacher finally arrived.

When the teachers from the fourth-level institute arrived, they saw Teacher Yu and said with a smile, "Old Yu, we're late."

Teacher Yu lifted her eyelids and glanced at the person in front of her, speaking without any mercy: "You knew you were late, so why didn't you leave earlier?"

The fourth-level faculty member was rebuked, gave a wry laugh, and didn't reply.

The teacher didn't reply, but the student did: "Teacher Yu, we're late, so it shouldn't delay our departure, right?"

Teacher Yu glanced at the student who had spoken and said expressionlessly, "It's quite a delay."

Upon receiving this response, the student bit their lip, lowered their head, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

The other three students were immediately displeased when they saw this. Just as they were about to say something, the teachers from the fourth-level college frantically gave them meaningful glances, which made them hold back.

Teacher Yu glanced at them indifferently: "For the next month, you will be going to a place to cultivate with the students of the First Academy. Please introduce yourselves."

Although the four were unwilling, they still spoke up one by one.

The first to speak was a tall, strong man named Ji Baiyu, a fourth-level student at the First Academy, with a fire-attribute spiritual root and an eighth-level spiritual general cultivation.

Next came a handsome but somewhat thin man named Zheng Xinzhu, a fourth-grade student at the First Affiliated Hospital, with a wood-attribute spiritual root and an eighth-level spiritual general.

After Zheng Xinzhu finished introducing himself, the third man spoke up: "Zhou Wenyu, a student of the Fourth Grade, First Academy, with an ice-attribute spiritual root, and an eighth-level spiritual general."

After introducing himself, Zheng Xinzhu looked tenderly at the woman beside him and said, "Xiaoxiao, it's your turn."

The woman smiled back, then looked at the students of the Second-Level First Affiliated Hospital and said gently, "My name is Wen Xiaoxiao. You can call me Xiaoxiao or Sister Xiaoxiao. I am a student of the Fourth-Level First Affiliated Hospital and have a wood-attribute spiritual root."

"Oh……"

"Oh~~"

After Wen Xiaoxiao finished her self-introduction, the tone of each student from the Second-Level First Affiliated Hospital was strange, and those who didn't speak had indescribable expressions.

Ling Yi glanced at Wen Xiaoxiao with a calm expression, and understood what was going on.

The lowest cultivation level for students in the fourth-level academy is seventh-level Spirit General, but Wen Xiaoxiao only has a sixth-level Spirit General cultivation level. A sixth-level Spirit General should be in the third-level academy, but Wen Xiaoxiao is a student in the fourth-level academy. Judging from the tone and expression of the students, Wen Xiaoxiao must have caused a lot of trouble by entering the fourth-level academy with a sixth-level Spirit General cultivation level.

Furthermore, of the four students from the fourth-level academy, three are level eight spirit generals, while only Wen Xiaoxiao is a level six spirit general. Who would believe there's no inside story behind this?

Ling Yi knew what was going on, but since it was none of her business, she naturally wouldn't react.

"What do you mean?" Ji Baiyu's face turned cold as he looked at the students' reaction. "Are you looking for a beating?"

The students from the Second-Level First Affiliated Hospital weren't intimidated by him: "What's wrong with us? What do you mean by that?"

Just as Ji Baiyu was about to speak, Wen Xiaoxiao tugged at his sleeve and said gently, "Brother Baiyu, I'm fine, don't be angry, we need to leave."

Upon hearing this, many students rolled their eyes.

"Quiet down, all of you." Teacher Yu had no interest in watching their performance and scolded them, "We're about to set off. Get on the backs of the flying beasts."

For this training trip, there were 41 students from the Second-Level First Affiliated Hospital, one accompanying teacher, two accompanying alchemists, and one teacher in charge, totaling 45 people.

There were four students from the fourth-grade college and one accompanying teacher, for a total of five people.

There are fifty people in total, both sides combined.

The academy prepared ten Rank 2 Level 5 flying beasts, each equipped with a tamer. Apart from the tamer, each flying beast only needs to carry five people, which is easy for Rank 2 Level 5 flying beasts.

Once all the students were on the back of the flying beast, the beast took off and headed towards the Spring Kingdom.

...

Changsheng Lake in the Spring Kingdom.

Inside the tent of the Southern Kite Empire, Mu Shengyuan sat cross-legged, attempting to absorb spiritual energy.

This was not the first time Mu Shengyuan had tried this. Ever since the original power in her spiritual root was devoured, she had been unable to cultivate. Every time she absorbed spiritual energy, she would be in excruciating pain.

These days, doctors and alchemists have all been trying to find a solution, but nothing has worked.

"puff"

After yet another failed attempt, Mu Shengyuan coughed up a mouthful of blood. The alchemist and Mu Huaiyi, who were guarding nearby, rushed forward and said, "Fifth Princess, let's give up."

"If this continues, your body won't be able to take it before your spiritual root recovers."

"Fifth Sister..." Mu Huaiyi took a handkerchief and wiped away the cold sweat from Mu Shengyuan's pain. Her half-closed eyes were full of heartache, but she knew why her fifth sister was working so hard. Because she knew, she couldn't easily persuade her to give up.

Mu Shengyuan wiped the blood from his lips and remained silent.

How could she stop trying? She couldn't become a useless person.

"You should all go back," Mu Shengyuan said, looking at the two people in front of him. "I'm going to rest for a while."

"Fifth Sister..." Mu Huaiyi called out with heartache.

Mu Shengyuan looked at her: "Third sister, I'm fine."

Mu Huaiyi wanted to say something, but when she met Mu Shengyuan's green eyes, she ultimately said nothing and left with the alchemist.

After the two left, Mu Shengyuan planned to try again, but just as he got started, the tent flap was lifted and a person walked in: "You really aren't afraid of death."

Hearing the voice, Mu Shengyuan looked up and saw a bright face: "Wuxin".

Upon seeing Yan Wuxin, Mu Shengyuan tried to get up, but he couldn't muster any strength at all.

Yan Wuxin noticed this and a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes. She then quickly stepped forward and sat down next to Mu Shengyuan: "When I came in just now, I saw your third sister crying."

Mu Shengyuan said, "It's my fault for causing her worry."

"She's worried about you." Yan Wuxin looked at Mu Shengyuan: "Is there really no other way?"

Mu Shengyuan shook his head: "I've tried everything, but nothing works."

"How could this be..." Yan Wuxin frowned and said, "The spiritual root is still there..."

Logically speaking, as long as the spiritual root exists, one can still cultivate.

Mu Shengyuan gave a wry smile: "This is probably the downside of giving birth to a different kind of Mu Shengyuan."

After saying that, Mu Shengyuan looked at Yan Wuxin and said, "Wuxin, your spiritual root fire source is also a strange fire. With my experience as a precedent, you must be careful and never lose your strange fire source."

Yan Wuxin looked at her: "Don't worry about me. I heard that you contacted the Dongyang Empire and asked Ling Yi to come. The Dongyang Empire agreed?"

Mu Shengyuan nodded: "I agree."

Yan Wuxin asked, "Why does Ling Yi have to come?"

Mu Shengyuan said, "You didn't go to Dongyang Mirror this time, so you don't know how terrifying that three-headed python was. We were powerless to resist it, but Ling Yi was able to kill it. Regardless of her cultivation level, it is enough to prove that she has the strength."

"The elders have disappeared this time. If it weren't for the vines desperately sending me out, I probably wouldn't have come back. I need to find someone who can solve this problem. Besides Ling Yi, I can't think of anyone else."

"However, it's only the Dongyang Empire that has agreed to come; I don't yet know Ling Yi's own intentions," Mu Shengyuan said. "Whether she helps or not, we have to let her come first, and only after we see her can we make a decision."

"If she is willing to help, I will definitely reward her handsomely; if she is not willing, I will not force her. Let's just consider it a connection." Mu Shengyuan said, "It is better to befriend Ling Yi than to befriend her."

Yan Wuxin shared the same view on Ling Yi. After listening to what Mu Shengyuan said, he said, "Perhaps Ling Yi is willing to help."

Mu Shengyuan wasn't sure about this and didn't respond.

Yan Wuxin asked, "When will they arrive?"

Mu Shengyuan thought for a moment: "The departure time they gave us was today. It will take seven days if things go smoothly, and half a month if things go slowly."

"Just wait." After Yan Wuxin finished speaking, he looked at Mu Shengyuan: "Look at you covered in blood and sweat, don't even think about cultivating. After you take a bath, come with me for a walk. This is my first time in Chun Kingdom."

Mu Shengyuan wanted to refuse, but Yan Wuxin didn't give her a chance to refuse at all: "I saw that you had difficulty getting up just now, so it must be difficult for you to take a bath by yourself. I'll wash you."

Mu Shengyuan: "...No."

"Don't be shy," Yan Wuxin said. "When we met before, didn't you call me 'sister' so enthusiastically?"

"It's just your sister helping you take a bath, don't be shy." After saying that, Yan Wuxin went out to call someone to prepare the bath water. Once the water was ready, she picked up Mu Shengyuan in one go.

Mu Shengyuan had no choice but to accept it, as he couldn't resist.

...

Seven days later, the Dongyang Empire's delegation arrived, and the people of the Nanyuan Empire personally went to greet them, leading them to Changsheng Lake.

Once they arrived at the location and experienced it firsthand, the students of the Dongyang Empire realized just how rich the spiritual energy of Changsheng Lake truly was!

This place is a sacred place for cultivation!
