Bone-stripping and tendon-pulling? The reborn senior sister becomes the number one cultivator in the

Seeing the secret realm open, Xie Wanning followed the others into the secret realm, then broke away from the group and headed northwest.

If she remembered correctly, most of the spiritual herbs in the secret realm were concentrated there.

She was about to fly on her sword when she quickly sheathed it.

She mustn't let anyone else notice her whereabouts!

Xie Wanning could only run quickly to the northwest.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the woods. Xie Wanning became alert and gripped her iron sword tightly. A black wild boar charged out, its tusks sharp, its eyes bloodshot, and its face fierce.

Xie Wanning quickly dodged, and the moment the wild boar crashed into the tree, she used the first move of the Qingyun Sword Technique, concentrating her inner strength on the sword and thrusting it towards the wild boar's neck.

Unexpectedly, the wild boar reacted quickly, turning and twisting to dodge the attack. But then, a sword aura descended from the sky, striking the boar directly in the neck. With a desperate cry, the boar collapsed and died.

Xie Wanning gracefully twirled her sword and calmly sheathed it. The first move of the Qingyun Sword Technique is called "Feint to the East, Attack in the West," which is perfect for killing such a reckless spirit beast.

Xie Wanning bent down to examine it. It was a third-tier tusked boar, with a cultivation level roughly equivalent to a Foundation Establishment cultivator in human form. Xie Wanning removed its inner core, put it in her storage bag, and planned to sell it at the market sometime; it should fetch a good price.

On the way thereafter, Xie Wanning killed several more second- and third-tier spirit beasts and arrived at a spirit herb garden in the northwest.

The room was full of third- and fourth-tier spiritual herbs. Xie Wanning was not a pill cultivator and knew few spiritual herbs. She picked some of the spiritual herbs with abundant spiritual energy and put them into her storage bag, ignoring the rest.

"Hmm, this is of high quality, it should fetch a good price." After picking the spiritual herbs, Xie Wanning headed to her real destination.

In the lake not far away, there is a purple flower bud about to bloom.

The Grade 5 Spirit Gathering Grass is a spiritual herb that is extremely helpful for Foundation Establishment. It can quickly absorb spiritual energy, making the Foundation Establisher's foundation solid and greatly aiding future cultivation.

"Senior Brother Shi, look, that's a Grade 5 Spirit Gathering Grass." A familiar voice came, and Xie Wanning quickly hid in the canopy of a nearby tree. Only then could she see clearly that a pink figure and a burly figure were leading a group of people closer to the lake.

At the head of the group were Ye Qianqian and Shi Kuo, the senior disciple of Tifeng. Behind them were Song Huai'an, Jiang Ci, and Xiao Yu, the third junior disciple of Fu Xiu.

Xie Wanning remembered them. In her previous life, Shi Kuo and Xiao Yu were among Ye Qianqian's many followers. Whenever Ye Qianqian was about to be injured or blamed, the two of them would appear in time to help her.

In her past life, both Shi Kuo and Xiao Yu had hurt her. Because Ye Qianqian disliked Xie Wanning, Shi Kuo, during a disciple trial competition, went too far, breaking Xie Wanning's ribs and nearly destroying her dantian. However, at Ye Qianqian's pleading, Yan Ze and the peak master Ye Jian only punished Shi Kuo by sending him to the Meditation Cliff for half a month of solitary contemplation. As for Xiao Yu, he was an even more insidious villain. He never acted openly, always secretly affixing talismans to Xie Wanning during battles between sect disciples and demons. These talismans, such as explosive talismans and lightning talismans, caused Xie Wanning unnecessary injuries, and she nearly died at the hands of demons several times.

Xie Wanning grew angrier the more she thought about it, and in the end, she could only recite the Heart-Cleansing Mantra to calm herself down.

Ye Qianqian and the others arrived at the lakeside. Song Huai'an stopped Ye Qianqian, who was eager to try, and said, "Junior Sister, this is a fifth-grade Spirit Gathering Grass, which is helpful for cultivation. However, there may be spirit beasts guarding mid-grade spirit grass. You, Third Junior Brother, and Junior Brother Xiao should not go near it. Let Senior Brother Shi and me go and get it."

"Okay, I'll do whatever Second Senior Brother says." Ye Qianqian smiled sweetly, as radiant as a peach blossom.

Shi Kuo, standing to the side, was stunned. Ye Qianqian waved her hand and said in a sweet tone, "Go for it, Senior Brother Shi. I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Shi Kuo's dark face flushed slightly as he clenched his fists and rushed toward the spiritual herb.

"Third junior brother, take good care of your junior brothers and sisters." Song Huai'an summoned his natal sword, the Golden Cloud Sword, and flew towards the spiritual herb.

Just as they were getting closer and closer to the Spirit Gathering Grass, a fireball suddenly crashed down on them.
