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

The Qingyun Sect is actually rife with internal strife, but as long as the fighting isn't too loud, it generally goes unnoticed.

After all, the Qingyun Sect is too big, and the Criminal Law Hall, which is responsible for the sect's order, only has a few people, so there will always be times when they can't take care of everyone.

As soon as Zhong Lingxin entered the protective formation of Wanfa Peak, the six members of the Peak Overlord group followed her in.

As soon as they entered, they created a trap.

At the same time, Zhong Lingxin also threw a trapping illusion array at them.

The two trapping formations overlapped, but Zhong Lingxin's trapping formation was better and quickly suppressed the trapping formation of the six-person Fengba group.

Moreover, Zhong Lingxin's trapping formation was one she had refined, and it was connected to her divine sense, allowing her to clearly see the state of the six members of the Peak Tyrant group after they entered the formation.

Once inside the formation, Feng Ba acted with impunity, drawing out all his magical treasures and searching everywhere for Zhong Lingxin.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator cursed, "Damn Liu Laosi, what's he up to? He actually separated us. Could it be that he wants to take it all for himself?"

The other four Qi Refining stage cultivators shared the same thought and all cursed Liu Laosi repeatedly.

Liu Laosi was completely bewildered. His trapping formation belonged to his brother, and his consciousness was connected to his brother.

His brother only taught him the method of controlling the array, but he couldn't bear to give him the array plate.

He thought it was his brother's array that separated people.

He was a little anxious. He had to be the one to meet Zhong Lingxin first. The six storage bags on Zhong Lingxin's waist, and all of Zhong Lingxin's wealth, had to be his.

He struggled to control the entire formation using the array control method his brother had taught him.

But no matter how he performed the hand seals, the formation remained unchanged.

At this moment, a surge of anger welled up in his heart. It was just a broken array plate, yet his brother treasured it so much, saying that the array plate only had a seven-day time limit, and each use would reduce its duration, and he wasn't allowed to practice it first.

Little did he know, his array plate had already fallen into Zhong Lingxin's storage ring.

Zhong Lingxin was delighted to have acquired a sixth-grade array plate, feeling that the fight had been worthwhile.

Look at the six members of the Peak Overlord group, still wandering around the formation like headless flies.

Zhong Lingxin decisively cast a series of hand seals.

Xuan Yuan nodded repeatedly as he watched: "Xiao Xiao'er, not bad, not bad. Your hand gestures are just like your style back in the day."

Qingyang Venerable Saint shook his head: "It can still be improved by half a breath. I need to practice the hand seals when I get back."

Xuan Yuan paused for a moment and said, "Xiao Xin'er is already very fast; she's only at the ninth level of Qi Refining."

Qingyang Venerable Saint still shook his head: "When I became a disciple, my master taught me that in battles between cultivators, life and death are only a thought away, and sometimes there isn't even time for a thought. If she's even half a breath late, she could die dozens of times over."

Xuan Yuan stopped talking and continued watching Zhong Lingxin's battle.

After casting a series of hand seals, Zhong Lingxin also flashed into the formation.

Because it was at the foot of Wanfa Peak, a place bustling with people, Zhong Lingxin didn't dare to waste any time. She quickly took out the Phoenix Zither and began to play it with a clear, resonant sound.

This time, her skills had improved considerably, and the six members of the Peak Domination group quickly fell into a deep sleep again.

Zhong Lingxin repeated the same method, once again roughly stuffing the group into a black bag and carrying them into the grove.

This time, however, Zhong Lingxin did not simply hang them upside down as before. Instead, she used the method taught to her by Uncle Xuanyuan to inject spiritual energy into their meridians and shatter the joints of their meridians.

This technique is extremely ingenious, causing only slight pain that is easily overlooked.

Zhong Lingxin then brandished her long whip, hanging the group upside down and whipping them mercilessly.

Compared to the pain in the skin and flesh, that slight pain is negligible.

By the time they realized something was wrong, the broken joints had already healed and set, and repairing them would require the Restoration Pill.

The Fuma Pill, although only of grade four, is extremely rare and can only be sold at auctions.

There must be some in the major sects.

Even if Qingyun Sect is only a second-level sect, it still has a few treasures in its treasury.

However, the sect would never use such a good pill on a few outer disciples.

Even if that Foundation Establishment cultivator is an inner disciple, he still can't get it; he can't even exchange it for points.

In other words, only elite disciples of a sect have the opportunity to apply for a single Restoration Pill.

Xuan Yuan and Qingyang Zun Sheng smiled and nodded when they saw Zhong Lingxin use underhanded tactics against the six-person group of Feng Ba.

The group showed murderous intent towards Zhong Lingxin, and it was extremely vicious; they deserved to be punished.

Zhong Lingxin adapted well to the cultivation world and was not someone who blindly tolerated everything without principle.

After doing all this, Zhong Lingxin returned to Qingyang Cave with her spoils.

Xuan Yuan praised Zhong Lingxin's performance eight hundred times.

Qingyang Venerable Saint, however, drank his tea without offering a single word of praise.

Zhong Lingxin thought to herself, "Oh no, Master is not satisfied."

She carefully reviewed her performance today and found that there was not a single mistake.

Xuan Yuan silently uttered two words: "Speed!"

After thinking for a long time, Zhong Ling finally concluded that the speed of setting up the formation was not fast enough.

Qingyang Venerable Saint said with a stern face: "It's a formation change. Your hand speed for changing the formation is too slow. When changing the formation, not only are your fingers moving, but your wrists are also moving, and even your arms are waving around, which seriously affects the speed of changing the formation."

Zhong Lingxin repeated the hand seals for changing the formation. Sure enough, as she quickly moved her fingers to coordinate with the mental technique to change the formation, her arm would always lift up unintentionally.

If you lift your hand once or twice, your hand speed will naturally slow down.

The Venerable Qingyang was satisfied, for he was a promising young man.

He gestured for Zhong Lingxin to sit opposite him, and the two of them simultaneously began performing hand seals for changing formations.

Qingyang Zunsheng simply raised his arms slightly and his ten fingers flew, finishing the hand seal when Zhong Lingxin had only completed half of it.

Xuan Yuan stood up for Zhong Lingxin, saying, "You're already in the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. How many years have you been practicing? Besides, you don't even need to use hand seals when changing formations anymore."

Qingyang Venerable Saint ignored Xuan Yuan and asked Zhong Lingxin, "Did you see Master's movements clearly?"

Zhong Lingxin nodded and tried to imitate her master, raising her arms slightly and making her fingers fly.

For the first time, she lost her habitual arm swinging motion, as if without assistance, and her speed actually slowed down.

She didn't get discouraged and continued practicing her hand speed.

Qingyang Venerable Saint slowly said to her, "It's not just about setting up formations, but also about alchemy and weapon crafting. The higher the level, the more it depends on hand speed. Many alchemists and weapon crafters can do everything very well. They can refine medicinal liquids and materials without any impurities and control the heat very well. But because they are not fast enough, at best they will not refine a magic weapon to the correct grade, and at worst they will explode the furnace."

Zhong Lingxin quickly thanked her master and said she would practice the hand gestures more in the future.

Qingyang Venerable Saint was satisfied, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Practicing hand seals doesn't require taking up large blocks of time. While we're sitting here drinking tea, you can practice whenever you have free time. It won't affect your tea drinking or your ability to accompany Master in his sermons. There's also a method here; with enough practice, you can learn to multitask."
