Stealing the female lead's favor turns her from a heartthrob to a universally disliked figure.

Fu Changye was actually a little irritated at this moment, but he still nodded and went to straighten the spirit boat as Elder Wu had instructed.

In fact, one person is enough to support a spirit boat, but the storm outside is too terrifying, so they need to go down and take a look to assess whether they should continue to stay here to avoid the storm.

“Master, I’ll go with you.” Lu Tingbai walked to Li Qingqing’s side.

He possesses a Heavenly-grade Wind Spirit Root, so the storms outside have very little effect on him.

Li Qingqing gently pulled Lu Tingbai back as he was about to leave, saying, "No need. We'll straighten the spirit boat in a bit, and there will be some tremors inside. Just keep an eye on the others."

Lu Tingbai thought for a moment, but decided not to insist any further. "Okay."

Elder Wu was the first to disembark from the spirit boat. Because of the strong wind and sandstorms outside, people quickly became invisible once they got on.

Li Qingqing observed for a moment and then went down very carefully.

She thought her small frame might be blown about by the wind, but it didn't.

Just as she was wondering, she noticed that the word "quiet" kept flashing in her mind, and then it stayed firmly in the depths of her consciousness.

And so, Li Qingqing stood alone in the storm.

When Elder Wu and the others were righting the spirit boat, Li Qingqing felt at a loss. With a thought, she used the Divine Void Flower-Picking Hand to grasp the oar on one side of the spirit boat and gently tug it. The spirit boat was righted without any warning.

Lingjian Peak, who hadn't even exerted any effort yet, was completely bewildered. Had Elder Wu suddenly used his spiritual power to correct the situation?

Elder Wu was actually still looking for a foothold, trying his best not to hurt the disciples inside the spirit boat, but as soon as he put his hand on it, the spirit boat naturally straightened itself.

He assumed that Fu Changye and the other peak masters had exerted their strength, so he didn't say much and quickly set up an array around the spirit boat to prevent anything else from attacking it again.

Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Li Qingqing returned to the spirit boat first.

Upon seeing her return, the Spirit Chef Peak Master immediately asked, "Little Li, did a spirit boat really collide with ours outside? Were many people injured?"

Li Qingqing shook her head. "I didn't see it, and I couldn't see it clearly. Even if a spirit boat crashed into it, it's probably been blown away by the wind by now. Uncle-Master, have you ever encountered storms like this before? How long do they usually last?"

The Spirit Chef Peak Master sighed, "The last time I encountered a storm like this was fifteen years ago. That storm was even worse than this one, but it lasted for a month! I wonder how long it will take for the storms here to subside."

"If that's the case, should we take turns resting? And take turns keeping an eye on what's happening outside?"

"Your suggestion is also acceptable. We'll see how to arrange things after Elder Wu and the others return."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Elder Wu and the Spirit Sword Peak Master returned.

They had only been outside for a short while when their hair and clothes were blown into a mess, making them look rather disheveled.

However, the moment he stepped onto the spirit boat, Fu Changye reacted quickly and restored himself to cleanliness, which made the Spirit Sword Peak Master and the others seem rather unconcerned about formalities.

"This storm may last a long time. The nine peak masters and I will split into two teams and take turns monitoring the situation outside. All the disciples will also be divided into two teams and take turns resting," Elder Wu quickly made the arrangements.

"Then I'll team up with Elder Wu, Lingqin Peak, Lingjian Peak Master, and Lingshou Peak Master." Lingchu Peak Master immediately made arrangements for himself.

Li Qingqing nodded immediately, "Okay."

The others nodded in agreement, indicating that they had no objections.

After making the arrangements, everyone agreed to take turns every six hours. Li Qingqing and the others rested first, so she didn't stand on ceremony and went straight back to the rest room.

Having a talisman brush and blank talisman paper, Li Qingqing calmed herself down and began to draw the "Quiet" character talisman.

She was very serious, and every stroke was made with great care. After finishing one divine rune, she felt quite tired.

She was slightly surprised to see the divine runes under her brush, after swirling with a faint green light, eventually transform into a pale blue triangular talisman.

She picked up the talisman and sensed it; a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

This is actually a sacred calming talisman!

You should know that in her previous life, she was affected by the Mind Reading Ear and was influenced by various chaotic sounds from the outside world, making her soul unstable. Her master, Yunyan, once went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect in Zhongzhou to try to buy her a sacred calming talisman, but the people of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect refused outright.

However, later, because of Fu Changye, the people of the Wanfo Sect gave Bai Xiangling a sacred calming talisman.

Looking back now, it's true that it's better to rely on yourself than on others.

After taking a deep breath, she swallowed a Nine-Turn Spirit Nourishing Pill, which slightly restored her energy, and she continued drawing divine runes.

To her surprise, the color of this calming talisman was noticeably darker than the first one.

Because she hadn't conducted any specific experiments, she wasn't clear about the differences.

After thinking for a while, she rested for a bit, ate some spiritual food, and then continued drawing the third calming talisman.

As she began to draw, she unexpectedly heard the whooshing sound of the wind outside the spirit boat. After calming herself down, she continued to focus on drawing the divine runes.

However, the "静" (quiet) character pattern drawn this time was actually white.

Puzzled, she pondered for a moment and then simply placed the three "Silence" characters in the shared resource warehouse, allowing Xia Nanfeng and the others to wear them to test their effectiveness.

Then, she took out the complete collection of spirit talismans that the Spirit Chef Peak Master had given her and began to try drawing basic spirit talismans.

However, things didn't go smoothly at first, so she had to try many times and learn from her experience.

It wasn't until an hour later that she successfully drew her first fireball talisman.

The only surprising thing is that this is an intermediate-level talisman, rather than a beginner-level talisman drawn by a typical beginner.

To improve her skills, she drew more than a dozen intermediate fireball talismans and summarized her experience once again.

Only after she had drawn the advanced fireball talisman did she turn her attention to researching the next talisman.

While she was stumbling and learning about talismans, Lu Tingbai, wearing three calming talismans, persuaded Elder Wu to let him disembark from the spirit boat alone.

On one hand, he wanted to test his master's three calming talismans, and on the other hand, he himself was a Heavenly Grade Wind Spirit Root, and he wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate properly.

Bai Xiangling couldn't help but mentally complain after seeing this scene.

[Such a handsome guy, I hope he doesn't go down there and never come back. Ugh! What's the point of a blind person being so good-looking? Even if I were as beautiful as an angel, he still couldn't see! But he's so tall, his legs are so long, he's really handsome, I really want to see how many abs he has…]

Upon hearing her thoughts, Qiu Shaoze frowned in disgust. This disgusting woman was truly indescribable.

Seeing his furrowed brow, Lan Cen asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Qiu Shaoze leaned close to his ear and whispered something.

Lan Cen narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced in Bai Xiangling's direction.

This woman is really strange. In the ruined city, so many people stronger than her died, but she is perfectly fine and unharmed.

What secrets does she hold?
