Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

If disputes arise between different sects or associations, the Law Enforcement Association will make the final decision.

Of course, the five major sects were constantly at odds, and the Law Enforcement Association never truly resolved the problem.

The Immortal Spirit Continent also has other organizations and associations, such as the Alchemist Association, the Weapon Refiner Association, the Array Master Association, the Talisman Master Association, and the Merchant Guild...

In Zhong Lingxin's view, the Immortal Spirit Continent has a complete organizational structure, which maintains the normal operation of the entire Immortal Spirit Continent.

The book "The Geography of Immortals" also includes many maps.

Zhong Lingxin carefully memorized all these maps, knowing they would come in handy during her future training.

In the days that followed, Zhong Lingxin read many more jade slips containing basic knowledge, including "Collection of Immortal Spirit Medicines", "Methods for Processing Spirit Medicines", "Records of Immortal Spirit Weapon Refining", "Collection of Talismans", and "Basic Knowledge of Array Formations".

Before Zhong Lingxin had her spirit enter her body, the Venerable Qingyang hadn't shown her these jade slips.

The purpose is to ensure that cultivators who have had their spirits drawn into their bodies have exceptionally strong memories, almost to the point of being able to remember everything they see.

Zhong Lingxin also took the time to look through many jade slips about spiritual power, divine sense, illusion techniques, and so on.

The Venerable Qingyang offered no opinion and allowed his disciple to read it.

Three years passed quickly, and Zhong Lingxin was already fifteen years old, becoming a junior cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Since she entered the Qingyun Sect, she has not stepped out of the back mountain.

Almost everyone in the Qingyun Sect had forgotten about her. When she was mentioned occasionally, it was only as a casual remark: "The first place winner of this year's competition is named Zhong Lingxin, who was accepted as a disciple by the Qingyang Venerable Saint in the back mountain."

These six years have seen the greatest changes in people.

Zhong Lingxin has grown from a cute little girl into a skinny, stick-like young woman.

These days, she takes a token for an outer disciple that her master has prepared for her, puts on a set of blue men's clothing, and uses the alias Wu Li. She often appears by the sect's arena.

Occasionally, she would go on stage and demonstrate with people.

The sect's arena is specifically for disciples to spar with each other.

Firstly, it was to give the disciples some practical experience, and secondly, it was to add some fun to their monotonous cultivation.

Even for those large and small gambling games, as long as they don't endanger the lives of the disciples, the sect turns a blind eye.

Zhong Lingxin used these gambling games to fill her storage ring with a lot of low-grade spirit stones.

However, to outsiders, Zhong Lingxin had simply put the spirit stones into the storage bag hanging on her waist.

To make her appearance as an outer disciple more convincing, Zhong Lingxin always put her storage ring in her room when she left the back mountain, only taking her storage bag with her.

Perhaps because Zhong Lingxin always wins, the dangling storage bag at her waist is particularly eye-catching.

Several people started to have designs on Zhong Lingxin.

He's just an outer disciple. If someone had the ability or connections, they wouldn't be an outer disciple.

However, several people who had designs on Zhong Lingxin followed her several times, but they all disappeared at the foot of Wanfa Peak.

They were certain that Zhong Lingxin was a disciple of Wanfa Peak, only a rather slippery one.

Wanfa Peak is the largest peak of the Qingyun Sect, with tens of thousands of disciples.

They happened to be from Wanfa Peak.

They refused to believe that they couldn't find a single disciple from this peak.

When they really tried to investigate, they found it was quite difficult.

Wanfa Peak is just a general term that includes hundreds of smaller peaks, and they can't freely enter or leave every one of them.

Unable to find a solution, the group decided to block Zhong Lingxin's path at the foot of Wanfa Peak.

Before entering the back mountain, Venerable Qingyang was the peak master of Wanfa Peak.

Wanfa Peak has many subordinate peaks, among which there are some particularly desolate peaks that no peak master would consider.

For his disciple's training, Venerable Qingyang chose a small peak without a peak master and built a small teleportation array that could directly lead to his cave.

Zhong Lingxin always used this mountain peak to travel in and out.

Several people who tried to follow her were discovered by her on their very first attempt.

However, all of them were at a higher level than her, including a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After assessing the situation, Zhong Lingxin realized she couldn't win, so every time she entered the protective formation at the foot of Wanfa Peak, she would affix an invisibility talisman and leave.

Since she never went out and only occasionally bought daily necessities at the sect's market, her monthly allowance was sufficient.

Qingyang Venerable Saint did not prepare spirit stones for her, but only prepared medicinal bath liquid, spiritual medicine and other cultivation resources for her to learn alchemy.

During this period, she earned a lot of low-grade spirit stones on the arena, which made Zhong Lingxin feel like a rich woman and gave her the urge to earn more.

There's no way around it, spirit stones are something no one can complain about having too few of.

These people who hindered her from earning spirit stones caused her distress.

She has to find a way to solve this.

Or perhaps you could change your name tag and your makeup?

The Myriad Manifestations Pearl that her master gave her is invisible to those below the Tribulation Transcending level, so it should be fine to use it on the arena.

But she still needs to win spirit stones.

Those men who wanted to rob her weren't fools; they quickly realized she had changed her makeup.

Moreover, she didn't want to run away.

I want to fight these guys!

Thinking of this, Zhong Lingxin went to her master and asked him to prepare a sword for her.

Yes, she decided to use a sword.

This was a decision she made after careful consideration.

Firstly, because sword cultivation is prevalent in the Immortal Spirit Continent, with five out of ten cultivators practicing swordsmanship, sword cultivators have a particularly rich theoretical knowledge.

Secondly, she had watched so many of her fellow disciples perform on the stage and particularly admired the lightness and elegance of swordsmanship.

Besides swordsmanship, she also plans to become a sound engineer.

In recent years, when she was tired from cultivation, she would play the zither, and she found that the sound of the zither always helped her recover from the fatigue of her spiritual consciousness more quickly.

Even the Venerable Qingyang praised her for her talent in music cultivation, and occasionally felt pleasure from her music.

Upon hearing his disciple's request, Venerable Qingyang smiled and took out a longsword from his storage ring: "Disciple, this sword is named Soul Slayer. It was obtained by your master during his training years ago and has been kept in the warehouse. A couple of days ago, it suddenly started trembling incessantly. I suppose it's time for you to use it."

Zhong Lingxin was delighted at the sight of the sword. It was three feet long, its blade like a pool of autumn water, and the hilt was just the right size for her to hold. At the end of the hilt was a jade gem that shimmered with a soft green light.

She took the Soul-Slaying Sword with both hands.

When the Soul-Slaying Sword was in Zhong Lingxin's hands, the entire sword trembled and sang incessantly, as if expressing boundless joy.

Before Zhong Lingxin could make a move, the Soul-Slaying Sword flew up and lightly sliced ​​across the tip of Zhong Lingxin's middle finger. A drop of blood from her fingertip dripped onto the sword and quickly disappeared.

The tip of the Soul-Slaying Sword pressed against Zhong Lingxin's fingertips, letting more blood drip down her fingertips onto the sword tip.

Zhong Lingxin could even hear the sound of the Soul-Slaying Sword swallowing.

After a long while, Zhong Lingxin's face turned pale.

The Soul-Slaying Sword finally left Zhong Lingxin's fingertips and hovered in front of her.
