The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Although he wanted to make amends, Zheng Li couldn't say anything nice.

He acted as if he was doing it for Luo Qingcheng's own good.

He earnestly advised, "Although you can only go so far no matter how hard you try, you should recognize your own limitations before you become like those cowardly insects in the outer sect. Otherwise, you will suffer so much when you ruin your cultivation."

This one sentence offended a whole bunch of cowardly outer disciples present.

However, Zheng Li didn't care at all.

Zheng Li: I'm already an inner disciple, and I don't want to talk to you outer disciples anymore.

Luo Qingcheng forced a smile, "Hehe, thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."

Chinese to Chinese: You son of a bitch, wait till I smash your dog head in!

Zheng Li nodded in satisfaction. "But you don't need to worry."

Luo Qingcheng thought he was going to spout some nice nonsense, but unexpectedly Zheng Li said, "You can't cultivate without spiritual roots, and you can cripple yourself without cultivation, hahahaha."

Luo Qingcheng: ...

Does he think he's funny?

Zheng Li strode away.

When I passed by the brother who spoke the truth, I deliberately bumped into his shoulder.

Luo Qingcheng lowered his hand from his chest, sheathed his sword, and looked at Wanwan, who was so worried she could barely contain herself.

He smiled and said, "It's alright, Wanwan. I'll go back first. Do you want to practice a little longer?"

It's not noon yet, and according to their original plan, they intended to practice until evening, just like yesterday, before going back.

Wanwan shook her head.

"Qingcheng, take a rest."

She could have used her flying artifact under the cover of night yesterday, but now it's broad daylight, and she can't very well openly violate the sect rules.

Luo Qingcheng, on the contrary, felt that he was fine.

She refused Wanwan's offer to help her up, enduring the excruciating pain in her internal organs as she straightened up.

"Junior sister, would you like us to give you a ride?"

"No need, thank you senior brothers and sisters."

A smile appeared on her face.

Not showing weakness or fear in front of strangers is one of Luo Qingcheng's survival rules.

She slipped through the crowd of onlookers, took Wanwan's hand, and strolled slowly toward their residence.

"That's amazing! He can still remain calm and collected even when he's exchanging blows with Senior Brother Zheng, who is at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining, without any cultivation level."

Luo Qingcheng's ears twitched.

It sounds like someone is praising me? You have good taste!

"Didn't you just vomit blood?"

Ignore the negative reviews!

"It's you again? Will you die if you don't tell the truth for a minute?"

Thank you for being my mouth double!

She glanced sideways and saw that the person who made the negative comment was the same person who had just been sabotaging her.

Forget it, considering he just helped me out, I won't hold a grudge against him.

After the two left, the scene became quite chaotic. As word spread, Luo Qingcheng became known as the person who, despite being a useless person, defeated Zheng Li, a Qi Refining Stage cultivator at the Great Perfection level, and who had passed the inner sect assessment, with a single sword strike.

If Zheng Li knew that his innocence was in jeopardy, he would probably risk violating the sect rule of "not killing each other" and cut Luo Qingcheng down to the last drop of blood.

We must never give her the chance to leave standing up.

Luo Qingcheng never imagined how terrifying the power of rumors could be.

After finally overcoming numerous obstacles (referring to the ever-growing pile of clutter) to get back to bed, she didn't lie down to rest.

"Qingcheng?"

She took out a jade slip engraved with the "Elementary Mind Method".

The jade slip was a long jade tablet. Luo Qingcheng searched the jade slip carefully from all sides, but he couldn't find a single word.

She was shocked.

Could I have bought a counterfeit product?!

Luo Qingcheng said angrily, "Wanwan, we bought counterfeit goods!"

Wanwan looked puzzled, took the jade slip from Luo Qingcheng's hand, held her breath, and looked up. "No."

Having spent a long time with Wanwan, Luo Qingcheng could automatically translate what Wanwan said. At this moment, he knew that Wanwan meant that they had not bought counterfeit goods.

He picked up another jade slip and asked, "How do you use this?"

[Knowing the method is useless; without spiritual roots and meridians, the host cannot draw spiritual energy into the body.]

[You've said so much, but give me a cultivation method!]

The system shut up.

Luo Qingcheng rolled her eyes. She naturally knew that she probably couldn't cultivate using ordinary methods.

She just wanted to find some inspiration from this book, "Elementary Cultivation Method," which is supposedly the foundational cultivation method in the cultivation world.

"Concentrate and probe."

Luo Qingcheng understood.

It was similar to what the system had taught her in the illusion: to focus her mind on finding something unusual in her heart.

Having had experience before, Luo Qingcheng easily probed the jade slip with his mind this time.

Words appeared in her mind one by one.

Even though she wasn't very good at classical Chinese, she still inexplicably understood the meaning expressed in the mental cultivation method.

"This is so convenient!"

She couldn't help but sigh.

I roughly understand how someone with spiritual roots should cultivate.

As expected, for someone like her with no spiritual roots, it was just a reference book that was only slightly relevant.

At this moment, Wanwan was already immersed in cultivation.

Luo Qingcheng lay down, feeling somewhat bored.

She couldn't see the various spiritual energies surrounding her, nor could she feel their flow. Only when the flow of spiritual energy reached a certain speed could she perceive the strange phenomena caused by it.

The most common phenomenon of spiritual energy flow is the generation of wind.

A gentle breeze stirred Luo Qingcheng's hair.

She nodded. Yes, just like now.

Hmm? Something's not right?

The doors and windows were clearly closed tightly, so how could there be any wind?!

next second!

A fierce wind spun wildly inside the small room!

Luo Qingcheng suddenly sat up straight.

The strong wind blew the lighter items in the house into the air, causing them to swirl around, and her hair once again swung wildly as if a demon were dancing in chaos.

[System, what happened?!]

[The little girl has only broken through to the mid-stage of the third level of Qi Refining.]

Before the third level of Qi Refining is the initial stage, and from the fourth to the sixth level is the middle stage. After breaking through a minor realm, the surrounding spiritual energy is rapidly surging into Wanwan's body.

Luo Qingcheng: ? ? ?

So, Wanwan, who looks short, is actually a small cultivator who can send herself flying with a single punch?!

The weakest one is myself.

Luo Qingcheng hugged the headboard tightly, afraid that he would be blown into the sky by the surging spiritual energy.

Fortunately, it was only a minor advancement in cultivation level, and the surge of spiritual energy did not last for too long.

Luo Qingcheng let go of his hand and collapsed onto the bed.

Wanwan was still meditating with her eyes closed. She was deeply affected by the blow and a little bored.

He casually struck up a conversation with the system.

[Could it be that Wanwan actually has quite a bit of talent?]

After all, Wanwan is only five years old.

[nature.]

Luo Qingcheng was somewhat surprised to receive this answer.

[Why was that night assigned to the outer sect?]

With such talent and such a young age, isn't this exactly the kind of apprentice who's easy to train?

[The little girl didn't get any points in the first two rounds of assessments, but the assessments included a protection mechanism for children under seven, so she wasn't injured.]

Because the Wenjian Sect's assessment is the type where you pass as long as you don't give up, even if you fail the assessment, as long as you can survive and complete the entire process, you can still enter the sect.

And the assessment results will determine where you will be assigned after passing the assessment.

So Wanwan was assigned to the outer gate.

[In that case, it's only a matter of time before Wanwan passes the inner sect assessment.]

[That's right.]

Sigh, she'll have to stay here all alone and grow old in loneliness.

Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but feel disheartened.
