Looking at Yan Li's pathetic yet gleaming eyes, Wen Yu once again lifted her up and pulled her in front of her, saying, "Is this all you've got?"

"Is that all you're satisfied with?"

His voice was devoid of emotion, like the stagnant water of a cold spring—bland, tasteless, and without any ripples.

Yan Li was still immersed in the joy of her rapid advancement, but when she suddenly heard Wen Yu's words, the smile on her face froze, and she blinked uncertainly.

Out of the body.

She's already at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and if she does this a few more times, how far is she from becoming an immortal?

That's not enough to be considered successful.

The requirements and standards of the big shots are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people like them.

"Your disciple knows his mistake."

Yan Li lowered her head, suppressing the joy on her face and instead ecstatic in her heart.

But at this moment, she was too close to Wen Yu.

Yan Li couldn't quite understand why this big shot always seemed to want to press his face against hers whenever he lifted her up.

Could it be...?

Does he have an eye problem?

Do you have to get close to see it clearly?

Seeing Yan Li's honest expression, Wen Yu didn't want to say anything more.

He originally thought that after transferring a hundred years of cultivation to her and being struck by lightning that day, her realm should at least reach the Nascent Soul stage.

I didn't expect it to only be out of my body.

But if he were to reveal the truth, his disciple would probably not be laughing anymore, and might even be secretly regretting that the heavenly lightning hadn't struck him a few more times.

Well, what's done is done, let her be happy.

Fortunately, the others in the sect couldn't hear Wen Yu's thoughts, otherwise they would have knelt down, grabbed his legs, and cried out.

…*…

Wen Yu did not take Yan Li away.

Therefore, when Yan Li saw a group of senior brothers and sisters surrounding her, she didn't dare to move at all, and even secretly thought to herself.

Why don't major sects offer a technique for earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic that allows one to escape from the

If she could burrow underground, she wouldn't be surrounded by hundreds of people and treated like a monkey right now.

Wow, so many people!

"Um, if there's nothing else, could you please move aside?"

Even though Yan Li was in the Out-of-Body stage, she still didn't dare to be reckless. She was now several steps closer to becoming an immortal, and if she had to do it all over again, she would really cry herself to death.

But after he said that, the people surrounding Yan Li seemed not to have heard him.

"Out of body? It really is out of body!"

From the outermost edge of the crowd, a voice clearly reached Yan Li's ears: "Then doesn't that mean we have even less hope?"

"Will she still remember us?"

"No way, with so many people, she can only remember the powerful senior brothers and sisters, how could she possibly remember us nobodies?"

"Yeah, they probably don't even know that we also helped block that lightning."

"How about we launch a surprise attack while they're off guard?"

A sneak attack?

After Yan Li's cultivation level improved, her perception of realms below the Nascent Soul stage also became much more acute.

Therefore, she was particularly clear that the two people who said those words were one in the late Foundation Establishment stage and the other in the early Golden Core stage.

She coughed lightly, then quickly bowed to the crowd:

"I will never forget your great kindness. If you ever need my help in the future, please feel free to come to me. I will do my best to assist you."

"But I have some personal matters to attend to right now, so I would like to ask my fellow disciples to make way for me?"

If she hadn't been afraid that if she ran away on the spot, she would have been caught by the few Nascent Soul stage disciples closest to her, she would have already dashed away.

All she wants now is to find a place where she can be all by herself.

Consolidate and improve your current level of attainment.

As soon as Yan Li finished speaking, she heard several screeching sounds like groundhogs.

"Does she mean she remembers us?"

"Yes, she said that even if she loses all her teeth, she will never forget us!"

—She also said that we can visit her anytime in the future.

"Should we still spar with our junior sister?"

The crowd fell silent again, and for a moment no one responded.

Yan Li, who was listening intently with both ears: ?

No way, don't stop!

At such a crucial moment, please continue.

The next moment.

"Let's call it a day for now, she was just struck by lightning..."

"Wouldn't that make it easier to remember?"

"Hmm? That makes sense!"

"But does the sect leader know whether or not?"

"No way, wasn't that the one from last time at the apprenticeship ceremony..."

"But she's dead!"

"She hadn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so it's normal for her to die. Look, we all remember her now, which proves her death was worthwhile!"

Yan Li: "..."

paradox!

What the hell was the point of dying?

If Ruan Nianwei could hear what these people were saying, she would probably be so angry that she would crawl out of her grave and point at their heads, cursing them for being crazy.

Who would like this way of making a name for themselves in history?

Before she could figure out a way to escape, these people came up with another question on a whim.

"Junior sister, can you teach us how you got the sect leader to agree to take you as a disciple?"

Their hearts were stirred; their long-dormant desires were rekindled, and they wondered if they too could receive special care from the sect leader.

They would be willing to be struck by lightning.

Becoming an immortal is a dream that cultivators strive to achieve throughout their lives; it is the deepest desire rooted in their hearts.

At this moment, Yan Li's injuries were no longer a big problem. Standing in the center of the crowd, looking at his fellow disciples who were holding weapons and magical treasures, he made a hand seal to change his clothes, took out a chair from his space, sat down, and then moved out a table to set up.

Just when everyone thought she was going to impart her methods.

"Fifty taels."

"Or just give me fifteen low-grade spirit stones."

Ye Ning, who had finally managed to peek out from behind the crowd, suddenly widened her eyes: How...how much? Fifty taels?

Fifteen low-grade spirit stones?

Are sect leaders really that worthless?

It should cost at least a hundred taels of silver.

As for spirit stones, they can't be exchanged directly for high-grade silver.

It should be noted that sects treat the disciples of their elders exceptionally well, and with Yan Li's current status, she receives a considerable amount every month.

Compared to what she wants now, it can only be described as a pittance.

Ye Ning tried desperately to signal to Yan Li with her eyes, but Yan Li was completely oblivious and even thought that her asking price was too high.

But Yan Li still underestimated the mentally unstable people among them.

"What silver and spirit stones? I remember at the last apprenticeship ceremony, didn't the Immortal Venerable say that if someone could defeat his disciple, he would accept him as his disciple?"

"Should we just take action?"

"Why are you dragging your feet like this? When are we going to get it done?"

"Yes, if we kill her, we can take her place. As for the sect leader, I'm afraid he won't stand up for a piece of trash."

"She's just a disciple from the Miscellaneous Service Peak. How can she be worthy of being the sect leader's first disciple? She's utterly disgraced the sect."

“Let’s attack together. She’s only just reached the Nascent Soul stage, so her cultivation level is definitely unstable. If we kill her, we’ll let the sect leader know what kind of disciple he’s chosen.”
