The goofy junior sister is the most eccentric person in the entire cultivation world.

Wang Wu and Zhou Liu exchanged a glance and quietly walked towards a residence.

"Shen Rugo has finally come out, and someone is secretly protecting her?"

Before they even reached Zhang Shiduo's residence, they heard a loud shout coming from inside. Then, a young boy rushed out, his face full of anger.

"The Great Perfection of the Second Level of Qi Refining?"

Wang Wu and Zhou Liu looked at the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy and blurted out.

"Greetings, senior brothers!"

Zhang Shiduo naturally recognized Wang Wuzhou and hurriedly bowed.

"You are Zhang Shiduo?"

"I am Zhang Shiduo."

"Before you came up the mountain, you had not yet cultivated your inner energy or practiced any techniques?"

"No cultivation!"

"A month and a half to reach the Great Perfection of the Second Level of Qi Refining, not bad, not bad at all, definitely the most outstanding outer disciple of this generation!"

"Thank you for your kind words, senior brothers! May I ask what brings you here?"

Zhang Shiduo became increasingly respectful to the two men.

Although he looked down on the two of them, they were both at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"We're already at your place, why don't you invite us in for a seat?"

Wang Wu said coldly.

"Please come in, senior brothers!"

Zhang Shiduo quickly bowed and invited him, looking flattered.

He naturally guessed the intentions of the two men who came to find him.

After carrying steamed buns for another ten days and returning them to her residence, Shen Rugo did not go into seclusion this time, but instead went to the library.

"Good child, you've finally come out of seclusion! I was so worried about you!"

In the library, everyone was cleared out, leaving only Shen Rugo and Qinghe Daoren.

"Uncle-Master, I've been busy cultivating, working hard for our grand plan to get rich!"

Shen Rugo said with a smile.

"Tell me quickly, what level of Qi Refining are you at now? Are you confident?"

Qinghe Daoist pulled Shen Rugo along, looking her up and down.

"Qi Refining Level Two!"

"Qi Refining Level 2, what attribute is that?"

"Fire attribute!"

As Shen Rugo spoke, a fireball appeared in her hand.

Since breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining with her fire attribute, she has remained at that level.

Shen Rugo needs to cultivate all five types of spiritual energy simultaneously and then break through to the third level of Qi Refining.

Based on her understanding of various principles and the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), if these five elements could reach the same level, nuclear fusion might occur, giving her an unexpected and wonderful surprise!

"It's still too slow. Zhang Shiduo has already reached the Great Perfection of the Second Level of Qi Refining and will soon break through to the Third Level! In that case, aren't you doomed to lose?"

Originally full of expectations for Shen Rugo, Qinghe Daoren lost all confidence upon seeing the fireball.

Their grand scheme to make money involved opening betting odds on whether Shen Rugo could beat Zhang Shiduo.

Only by winning can you achieve big gains with small investments and make a fortune.

After all, no one had high hopes for Shen Rugo, and everyone would bet on Zhang Shiduo to win.

During this time, he repeatedly studied the methods Shen Rugo taught him, and his skills in opening betting odds have become superb.

He also secretly did a lot of work to prepare for the opening of the market before the competition in March.

The key to all of this is that Shen Rugo must win.

"He actually reached the Great Perfection of the Second Level of Qi Refining and quickly broke through to the Third Level of Qi Refining?"

Shen Rugo was also taken aback when she heard this.

"My little darling, if all else fails, I'll have to take matters into my own hands!"

"Qinghe Daoren said anxiously."

"You'll take action?"

Shen Rugo's eyes widened. Had this old man lost his mind? How could a Nascent Soul cultivator attack a mere outer Qi Refining Stage 2 cultivator?

"I mean, I'll secretly intervene to prevent that kid from breaking through to the third level of Qi Refining, or even if he does, I'll prevent him from reaching the fourth level!"

Qinghe Taoist suddenly gave a sinister smile.

"So this is ah!"

Shen Rugo chuckled, never expecting this old man to be so crazy about making money.

"What are you laughing at? Tell me quickly, are you sure you're confident? Do you need my help behind the scenes? My happiness for this lifetime is all tied up with you!"

Qinghe Daoren licked his lips and smacked them twice.

He really hadn't eaten spirit beast meat or drunk spirit wine in a long time.

"We're confident! Don't worry, prepare what I'm going to tell you beforehand. Rest assured, we're sure to make a fortune this time!"

Shen Rugo patted her chest and assured him.

"You're really confident? That's great!"

However, you must never act rashly in the future, lest others see through your actions.

Don't worry, I'll be watching your every move. If anyone dares to lay a hand on you, I'll beat their face to a pulp, just like that kid today!

Qinghe Daoren chuckled.

"How's that kid doing?"

Shen Rugo originally wanted to teach that person a lesson; she wasn't one to suffer a loss.

"Of course, we beat him up in front of everyone, his face was slapped like a pig's head, and he even drank a bellyful of stinky ditch water."

This is called making an example of someone to deter others from even touching you!

The Taoist priest of Qinghe proudly raised his chin, as if he had done something remarkable.

"Uncle-Master, you're awesome!"

Shen Rugo gave him a thumbs up.

"If there's anything you need my help with, just tell me, and I'll do my best!"

The Taoist priest from Qinghe was all smiles and eagerness.

According to Shen Rugo's plan, once this betting platform was opened, he roughly calculated that, not to mention anything else, the entire outer sect alone could earn over a million spirit stones.

If we could bring in the inner disciples as well, we'd be rolling in money and never have to worry about buying wine again.

These past few days, all he's been thinking about is the match between Shen Rugo and Zhang Shiduo.

"Well, Uncle-Master, it seems you really can't help me! But don't worry, I definitely won't lose. I'm going to make a fortune with you and earn all the spirit stones from those guys!"

"That's wonderful, my good child. I won't keep you any longer. Hurry back to your secluded cultivation. To save time, this old man will personally escort you there!"

Qinghe Daoist was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, Shen Rugo flew up and rode on his neck, heading towards Shen Rugo's villa.

"Huh? I'm riding on his shoulders?"

Shen Rugo screamed inwardly.

"That was just a blur, could it be a person running?"

Qinghe Daoist was extremely fast; many disciples only saw his afterimages along the way.

"That's Elder Qinghe, who guards the library. Shen Rugo actually rode on his shoulders and was brought here by him?"

When Qinghe Daoren arrived at Shen Rugo's villa, he stopped, instantly attracting a series of astonished gazes.

All the outer disciples knew Qinghe Daoist.

"What's that old guy up to?"

The commotion at the outer gate was quickly noticed by Xingchen Daoren. As soon as he used his supernatural power to open the screen, he saw Qinghe Daoren riding on Shen Rugo's neck, standing outside Shen Rugo's door.

"This girl is amazing. She can actually get along so well with him and even willingly let him ride her?"

At this moment, Daoist Xingchen was shocked once again.

The news quickly spread to the inner sect and reached the ears of several peak masters and elders.

It was one thing for ordinary disciples not to know Qinghe Daoist's identity, but these peak masters and elders did, and immediately there was much discussion.

"What's the background of that little girl? Could she be Uncle Qinghe's illegitimate daughter, no, his illegitimate granddaughter or grand-granddaughter?"
