Lying sprawled on the ground, Qiyue kept stroking the Nine-Tailed Fox while cursing under her breath.

If only this were a small world where everything was complete! It's all the fault of that damn author; he'd already written it, couldn't he have at least improved it? He made her create a spirit-gathering array herself, wasting so much of her time. But thankfully, she has exceptional comprehension, so it's not a complete failure.

I wonder how far Xia Wanqing's little Karami has progressed in his cultivation over the past two weeks?

No, no, she had to start cultivating immediately. What if Xia Wanqing surpassed her if she didn't? What would she use to compete with Xia Wanqing then?

It must be said that the Spirit Gathering Array that Qiyue has repeatedly improved is really effective; the cultivation speed inside is ten times that outside.

After half a month of immersive cultivation, Qiyue finally entered the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

Feeling the aura of a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, Qiyue felt completely refreshed until she opened the door and saw her sixth senior brother, Gu Xingchuan, standing there.

Looking at Qiyue, Gu Xingchuan said quietly, "Junior Sister, can you tell me why the spiritual energy is all gathering in your direction?"

"..." Qiyue stared wide-eyed, not daring to speak.

I was incredibly panicked.

[That can't be! She's a newbie; how could her created formation possibly steal someone else's spiritual energy?]

Listening to his inner thoughts, Gu Xingchuan felt exhausted and looked at Qiyue expressionlessly: "Master said that you should go to him after you finish your cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yue's face instantly turned ugly.

Damn it!

Dejected, Qiyue followed Gu Xingchuan to Rock Peak, but bravely declared, "Master! Let's make this clear, don't hit someone in the face!"

Lou Xuanzhi raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Xingchuan: "How come I don't remember when I said I was going to beat up your junior sister?"

Gu Xingchuan was dumbfounded, cursing inwardly. He didn't know either, so why was he being asked?

He appeared extremely respectful: "This disciple is unaware; perhaps Junior Sister is overthinking it."

Qiyue blinked: "So Master wasn't going to hit his disciple? You scared me to death."

Gu Xingchuan's lips twitched, while Lou Xuanzhi's eyes deepened: "I summoned you here for another matter."
