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

A soft, childlike voice rang in Zhong Lingxin's ear: "Master!"

Zhong Lingxin knew that it was the sword spirit of the Soul-Slaying Sword speaking to her.

She responded softly, "Hello, Little Soul Killer."

The Soul-Slaying Sword was overjoyed; its master said she was wonderful!

She held the sword upright, circled Zhong Lingxin twice, and then hovered it in front of her.

Qingyang Venerable Saint was extremely pleased; this was the most delightful scene of subduing a magical treasure he had ever witnessed.

He smiled and said, "You can store the Soul Slayer in your dantian and nurture it. This will make your connection even stronger, your minds more aligned, and allow you to fight more effectively."

Zhong Lingxin obeyed, and with a thought, the Soul-Slaying Sword entered her dantian.

Next, Venerable Qingyang took out another jade slip: "This was discovered along with the Soul-Slaying Sword. It is called the Soul-Slaying Technique. This sword technique is specifically designed to attack the enemy's soul. You can focus on practicing it."

After saying that, Venerable Qingyang took out an ancient zither and a jade slip: "This was brought back by Xuanyuan a few days ago. He found it especially for you."

Zhong Lingxin was touched. She knew that when Uncle Xuanyuan returned, he was injured.

At the time, she thought that Uncle Xuanyuan was fighting with someone.

It now appears that Uncle Xuan Yuan got into a fight with someone over the guqin and its score.

Zhong Lingxin hurriedly bowed to Xuan Yuan: "Thank you, Uncle Xuan Yuan!"

Xuan Yuan grinned happily. As long as Xin'er was happy, he would fight two more battles for her.

Besides, he won!

Xuan Yuan waved his hand: "Uncle, after listening to so many of your zither performances, I feel that this Phoenix Zither is especially suitable for you, especially this score, called 'Silent Soul,' which is truly something you should learn."

The sword technique is called "Soul Slayer," and the zither technique is called "Silent Soul."

Be careful, Uncle Xuan Yuan is waiting to see you dominate the battlefield.

Don't be like your master, lukewarm and indifferent to everything.

Let me tell you, you have to strike when the time is right, just like when you hit that Qu Xin, slapping her again and again, it felt so good!

Zhong Lingxin rubbed her forehead.

She has been in the Qingyun Sect for six years, and during this time she has spent a lot of time in the arena, which has given her a better understanding of the cultivation world.

She had a very rosy view of the cultivation world.

If she hadn't become a disciple of the Venerable Qingyang, the Qingyun Sect would probably have killed her long ago to avenge Qu Xin.

Look at the phoenix zither in front of you. At the head of the zither is a phoenix head held high, and the nine feathers on the crown seem to be about to rise as the body of the zither moves.

On the body of the instrument, the five strings gleamed with a dull, muted light.

Zhong Lingxin couldn't help but flick it.

The flick caused a sharp pain in her finger, which had just been pierced by the sword tip, and blood began to flow again.

Zhong Lingxin couldn't help but pull her hand back slightly.

The body of the instrument was held upright in her left hand.

Zhong Lingxin's bleeding right middle finger touched the proud phoenix head.

Once you touch it, you can never take it away.

Phoenix Head sucked on Zhong Lingxin's finger, fiercely drawing out its blood.

Zhong Lingxin's face turned even paler.

Qingyang Zunsheng hurriedly flicked a blood-replenishing pill into Zhong Lingxin's mouth.

With the help of the blood-replenishing pill, Zhong Lingxin managed to feed the Phoenix Harp.

A phoenix silhouette flashed across the Phoenix Harp.

Unfortunately, the phantom was too faint, and with a mournful cry, it fell back into the Phoenix Zither and never moved again.

After pondering for a long time, Venerable Qingyang said, "There is a legend that many years ago, a phoenix fell into the Immortal Realm and transformed into Phoenix Mountain."

Later, cultivators frequently went to Phoenix Mountain for training. This Phoenix Zither was discovered by cultivators on Phoenix Mountain tens of thousands of years ago.

Later, this Phoenix Zither spread to the Immortal Spirit Continent.

Perhaps the Phoenix Harp is still recovering from its injury.

The Phoenix Zither gets its name from the phoenix on its head; I've never heard anyone mention a phoenix phantom appearing before.

"It seems the Phoenix Harp and you are destined to be together. Perhaps you can repair it."

Zhong Lingxin nodded.

Her mood was somewhat heavy, as if she had been affected by the emotions of the Phoenix Harp.

Venerable Qingyang sighed softly, "You should first store it in your dantian and nurture it. Let it heal slowly for a while and see how the Phoenix Harp reacts."

Zhong Lingxin followed his instructions and stored the Phoenix Harp in her dantian to keep the Soul-Slaying Sword company.

Xuan Yuan beckoned, signaling Zhong Lingxin to come and make tea.

Brewing tea is a delicate art, and he is a rough and unrefined person, so it's best if someone else brews it and brings it to him.

Zhong Lingxin walked over with a smile.

Her master and Uncle Xuanyuan were both very kind to her. She had no other way to repay them but to brew them a few more pots of good tea, which they enjoyed.

She skillfully boils water, warms the kettle, washes the tea, brews the tea, controls the temperature, and pours the tea.

The delicate aroma of tea instantly wafted around the Jade Lotus Pond, mingling with the fragrance of lotus blossoms and directly assaulting Xuan Yuan's senses.

He picked up the teacup in front of him, ignoring the fact that it was too hot to drink, and slurped it down.

After drinking three cups of tea, Xuan Yuan asked with a smile, "Xiao Xiao'er, why did you suddenly want a sword today? Your master has been preparing one for you for half a month."

Zhong Lingxin smiled and said, "I made a small fortune in the arena these past two months, and now someone has their eyes on me."

They have one Foundation Establishment stage cultivator and four others at the Qi Refining stage, but they are all at a higher level than me.

I can't figure out their hierarchy.

I was thinking of asking my master and Uncle Xuanyuan for advice on how to deal with them.

Xuan Yuan sat up straight immediately: "Who? Who dares to covet our Xiao Xiao'er? Tell Uncle Xuan Yuan, and Uncle Xuan Yuan will break their legs!"

Zhong Lingxin hurriedly poured Xuan Yuan a cup of tea: "Uncle Xuan Yuan, please calm down. These little brats are just a good opportunity for me to practice. If I can't beat them, I'll ask Uncle Xuan Yuan for help again."

Qingyang Venerable Saint nodded, drank a cup of tea in front of him, and said, "Give her some practice first. Xuan Yuan, keep a close eye on her these next few days. Only step in if she can't beat him."

Xuan Yuan slammed his teacup down in anger: "There are no good people in your Qingyun Sect."

What do you mean by "never losing one's lofty ambitions"? Bah!

Just when we finally got rid of that damned woman Linglongyue, a few more little trash showed up.

I'll go ask that kid Lu Linchen how he manages the sect!

Zhong Lingxin hurriedly poured Xuan Yuan another cup of tea: "Uncle Xuan Yuan, please calm down, calm down!"

In a big forest, you'll find all kinds of birds.

It cannot be blamed on the sect leader's poor management.

Besides, I'll be going out to gain experience in the future, and there will be many more dangers there. If I can't even handle this small matter, how can I feel at ease going out to gain experience in the future?

"Do I want to end up like Qu Xin, with ten or twenty servants, carried everywhere in a sedan chair?"

Xuan Yuan was still full of energy.

The Venerable Qingyang made the final decision: "I'll leave this matter to my disciple. Disciple, have you thought about how to handle it?"

Zhong Lingxin shook her head: "Master, I haven't thought it through yet. They are of a higher rank than me and there are more of them. If we really fight, I'm no match for them! This is something we can't fight by force; we can only outsmart them. That's why I came to ask for your advice."

Qingyang Venerable Saint shook his head: "Master has no idea. Whatever you want to do, Master and your Uncle Xuanyuan will cooperate."
