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

"Why don't we go at the beginning of next month? Let's get familiar with the environment and make preparations in advance," suggested the Spirit Talisman Peak Master.

Lingqi Peak shook his head, "Our Nine Spirits Sect is rich in spiritual energy and abundant in resources. Let the disciples who are going to the Eastern Continent cultivate in the center of the Spirit Pool! They can set off in two months. Every little bit of improvement in strength is a good thing."

After hearing this, the Spirit Blade Peak Master also had a different opinion, "Why not go to the secret realm to fight? Only in this way can we truly increase our strength and know how to deal with enemies."

"I think it would be better for each peak to manage its own affairs, and let them go early or late as they please." The Spirit Sword Peak Master didn't want a large group of people to go together; it would be better to be more flexible.

“That’s fine. It’s good that each peak manages its own affairs.” The Spirit Chef Peak Master was the first to respond.

To be honest, he didn't want to travel with the Nine Peaks, especially since there were people from the Spirit Doctor Peak as well.

He gets a headache just looking at people from Lingyi Peak.

"Then each peak can set off on its own." Peak Master Lingfu changed his mind upon hearing this.

Seeing that no one wanted to travel with the Nine Peaks, the sect leader nodded and said, "Alright, you can decide for yourselves when to set off. But the Third Elder, Elder Wu, and I will go there first at the beginning of next month. You can come and meet us then."

"Okay." Everyone agreed, and that was the decision.

When the meeting ended, the sect leader instructed someone to deliver a message to Li Qingqing, and also sent a telepathic message to Fu Changye.

……

When Li Qingqing learned that the various peaks would be going to the Hundred Extremes Tower in the Eastern Continent on their own, she immediately summoned her seven disciples.

"What are your own thoughts? Do you want to cultivate in the sect for over a month before heading to the Eastern Continent, or do you want to set off earlier?"

"Master, why don't we go with the sect leader and the others at the beginning of the month?" Qiu Shaoze suggested in a low voice.

The Eastern Continent is quite far away, and the journey is not peaceful. Traveling with the sect leader and the others will save a lot of trouble, and we can also hitch a ride on their spirit boat.

Xia Nanfeng had no objection, "Going with the sect leader and the others is fine too."

Lan Cen then had a different opinion, "Master, let's set off for Dongzhou tomorrow! My maternal grandparents' family is on Blood Sun Island in Dongzhou. They have a special cultivation room that can slow down time. A month of cultivation in the room is equivalent to only one day in the outside world. The only drawback is that opening the cultivation room requires a lot of spirit stones. But with the spirit stones we have now, plus my personal wealth, we can easily cultivate for half a month."

The important thing is that it can improve everyone's abilities.

Li Qingqing was slightly surprised. "Your maternal family is the Ming family of Dongzhou? Don't you have an uncle named Ming Nian?"

Lan Cen nodded gently, "Yes. Does Shizun also know my uncle?"

Li Qingqing shook her head slightly, "I don't know him, but I've heard people talk about him. If you're close to your uncle, try to get them to move away from Blood Sun Island!"

Lan Cen was slightly taken aback, "Move away from Blood Sun Island?"

Li Qingqing nodded. "Yes. What's actually being suppressed beneath Blood Sun Island is an active volcano. The cultivation room in your maternal grandparents' house is a treasure that's being suppressed within the sealing array's core. Every time the cultivation room is opened, it consumes a certain amount of the array's power. In less than three years, that seal will collapse."

She knew this because in her previous life, the seal of the Blood Sun Island formation was broken, and the active volcano on Blood Sun Island erupted, causing countless deaths and injuries within a radius of a hundred miles. At that time, many people from the Spirit Medicine Peak went to provide rescue.

Bai Xiangling earned a lot of points during that rescue operation, which she used to exchange for charm techniques in the system, increasing her charm value.

The man named Ming Nian did not die from the eruption of the active volcano on Blood Sun Island, but because so many people died tragically and the blame was placed on the Ming family, Ming Nian was eventually killed by a thousand arrows.

Lan Cen was shocked upon hearing this. "Master, are you telling the truth?"

Li Qingqing nodded solemnly, "Not many people know about this, but my sources are reliable. As for why I know, I can't tell you. As for what to do, that's up to you."

After a moment of silence, Lan Cen suddenly spoke up: "Master, can we go to Blood Sun Island? I want to talk to my uncle in person. Since the seal is bound to collapse sooner or later, it would be better to let us go in and cultivate. I think my uncle would agree."

"What if we ask someone to reinforce the formation?" Wen Yang asked.

“We can give it a try. But there are probably very few people in the entire Hualing Nine Continents who have the ability to reinforce this formation. Even the peak master of the Spirit Array Peak alone cannot do it.” Li Qingqing said this very definitively.

That's because the previous life's Spirit Array Peak Master went there after the incident, but it didn't do anything. On the contrary, the people from Spirit Healing Peak gained all the limelight for saving people.

"Then shall we go to Blood Sun Island?" Qiu Shaoze could see the anxiety in Lan Cen's eyes.

“If none of you have any objections, I’ll go and talk to the Spirit Chef Peak Master to see if they want to travel with us.” Li Qingqing was quite open-minded.

Xia Nanfeng and the others exchanged glances and then made a unified decision to set off for Dongzhou the next day.

Li Qingqing nodded, and then went to Lingchu Peak herself.

When the Spirit Chef Peak Master heard Li Qingqing say that she would be setting off for Dongzhou the next day, he pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

"Then let's go tomorrow. I'll go and tell the sect leader in a bit. We can also go and take a look at Blood Sun Island, which you mentioned."

“Yes. Since there are only a few of us, we can use the teleportation array to go to the Eastern Continent. It's a bit of a hassle, but we can also see the sights along the way,” Li Qingqing said.

Hualing Jiuzhou is so vast, but she has only been to a limited number of places. Given the opportunity, she would like to explore more of the world.

"Okay. I'll make the arrangements, and you should get ready too."

After the two agreed, Li Qingqing returned to Lingqin Peak.

Actually, there wasn't much to prepare. That night, she played the Great Sound Mystic Qin for a while and reviewed all nine volumes of Huayin.

Before going to sleep, she used the newly acquired random inheritance jade.

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Li Qingqing, and she found herself standing before a solemn grand hall…

The same man, whose face she couldn't see, walked towards her.

He placed a soft, unassuming whip in her hand and began to teach her whip techniques.

This whip technique is very strange. After the whip circles in the air a few times, it strikes down and the stone statue it hits doesn't move an inch.

No longer so fine, the stone statue wasn't completely unresponsive; instead, an inconspicuous mark appeared.

Another lash of the whip, and...? The statue still doesn't budge?

Looking again, wow, the stone statue has another, less noticeable mark.

Another whip crack and he's gone...

boom……

The once intact stone statue has shattered into pieces like a mirror.

With another flick of the shovel, the stone fragments turned into dust before they even hit the ground.

Li Qingqing thought it was over, but the man grabbed her hand and lashed out with a whip.

This time, the smoke and dust completely dissipated, leaving not a trace in the air.

Just as Li Qingqing was about to withdraw her hand, the man grabbed her hand again and lashed the whip into the air.
