Ling Qi's enlightenment had reached its most crucial moment. Yuan Qi said whether he could form his Nascent Soul depended on whether a tribulation lightning would occur in the next two days. Unlike Kui Bi's Nascent Soul formation, Ling Qi had directly achieved enlightenment and skipped levels to reach the Nascent Soul stage, making the process much more difficult. It was best to avoid external interference. Therefore, You You had to seal off the area around the main hall to ensure Ling Qi's safe formation of his Nascent Soul.

However, with Ling Qi's sudden realization, all the affairs of the sect suddenly fell on You You's shoulders. In the past, no matter how important the matter was, Ling Qi could always think of a solution immediately and then report to her. But now that he had relinquished his responsibilities, You You realized just how busy he was. He had to manage and handle almost every problem.

Putting aside everything else, even just looking at the daily income and expenditure, resource allocation, and trivial matters of each peak in the sect gave You You a headache. It wasn't that the disciples hadn't organized everything beforehand, but rather that there were simply too many branches, such as the alchemy materials for alchemy disciples, the talisman paper for talisman disciples, the array equipment allocation for array disciples, and the cultivation progress for magic disciples, and so on!

Previously, Ling Qi would compile all these reports into a complete report and then give it to her for review. But now, she had to carefully review each report from each peak. She was almost overwhelmed by the reports submitted by each peak. Even with Yuan Qi's help, she still felt completely lost. She wondered how Ling Qi managed to compile these reports so efficiently and quickly, and how he even had time to cultivate. What kind of superhuman was he?

"If it's something urgently needed, proceed as usual. As for anything else that's not particularly urgent, let's wait until Ling Qi comes out of seclusion before discussing it." You You rubbed her head and handed the report to the disciple, feeling her head buzzing.

"Yes, Sect Master!" The disciple quickly responded and placed a large stack of documents in front of her. "Sect Master, this is a record of the pill-forming situation of the disciples in the sect during their cultivation last month, as well as the consumption of various spiritual plants. Elder Ling requested that this be compiled."

"There's more?!" Youyou glanced at the mountain of reports on her side, then at the stack handed to her by the other party, and her shoulders slumped again. She felt so tired.

The disciple timidly added, "This is only half. Today is the end of the month; the other half won't arrive until this evening..."

"..." You might as well just kill me!

(???????????)

You You was completely dejected. Just as she was thinking of calling a few more people to help, a disciple suddenly rushed over, cupped his fists and said, "Reporting to the sect leader, Master Qiu is throwing a tantrum on the third peak and said that he will no longer teach disciples."

"What!?" You You was stunned for a moment, somewhat shocked. "Qiu Zhang! What happened? Isn't he usually the most enthusiastic in class? Why would he suddenly go on strike? Wasn't there a basic course for new disciples scheduled for today?"

"It seems that some disciples have gone astray in their practice, thus angering the master, so..." The disciple said with a troubled expression and growing more anxious, "The master has closed the training hall and won't let the disciples in."

Youyou felt the veins on her forehead throbbing wildly. How come everything was piling up at once? She hadn't even finished her work yet!

"Xiao You, why don't you go take a look?" Yuan Qi looked up. He was buried in a pile of documents just like her, but he still looked relaxed and at ease. He even chuckled and suggested to her that if the unprocessed documents in front of him weren't twice as high as the ones in front of her.

"Qiu Zhang has always been sensible in his actions. For him to be so angry now, something must have crossed his bottom line. It would be best to find out more about it."

You nodded, agreeing with the idea. He then picked up a stack of documents from the table and turned to follow the disciple to the advanced study hall of the Three Peaks, where Qiu Zhang usually held his classes.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered, I saw a wisp of a remnant soul glowing red, angrily floating around the classroom, occasionally uttering a few words: "Damn it! So damn damn it, it's infuriating!"

If it weren't for the distinct figure in the firelight, she would have almost mistaken him for a small flame. Perhaps due to the Yuanqi Soul Nourishing Array, his soul had become much more solidified, capable of influencing the flow of spiritual energy around him; now, his entire body was covered in fire spiritual energy.

He paced around the classroom several times before spotting You You as soon as he entered. He flew over instantly, his face contorted with rage, and complained, "Sect Master, you've finally arrived! Look at the mess these scoundrels have made! They must be severely punished! Otherwise, if everyone acts like him, how am I supposed to continue teaching?!"

"Stop floating around like that, you're making me dizzy!" Youyou rubbed her forehead, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "What exactly happened? Calm down and tell me slowly, I need to understand first, right?"

Qiu Zhang then floated down a bit and handed over what he was holding. "Sect Master, look at this... it's outrageous!"

She instinctively took it and looked at it. It was covered in dense writing, seemingly the contents of a cultivation technique, though several lines were circled in red ink. You You stared at it for a long time but couldn't make heads or tails of it, only feeling a slight sense of familiarity with the content: "What's this?"

"This is the third chapter of Qiu Zhang Jue, the mental cultivation method of the Heart Control Sword Technique!" Qiu Zhang pointed to the circled lines and said with increasing anger, "Look here, the Heart Control Sword Technique is all about becoming stronger when facing stronger opponents. It requires using fire spiritual energy to control the spirit and form a sword. This move can become as powerful as a swirling plain when it encounters wind, and its power is boundless when combined with one's own sword energy. Look at what this disciple has written!"

He pointed to the words on the paper and said, word by word, "What do you mean by 'limited spiritual energy, able to adjust sword techniques according to the environment, turning into ice when encountering water, into wood when encountering forest, and into soil when encountering rocks, thus helping sword techniques to be initially formed'?! This is simply absurd!"

"..." Youyou examined the item in her hand again. So... this is the disciples' homework?

He grew increasingly angry as he spoke, looking as if he wanted nothing more than to beat the disciple up. "Does my sword technique mean I can just change it so easily? Does he even know that this move can only unleash its full power when using fire elemental energy?"

"Look at what he wrote in that last sentence!" He seemed to have thought of something even more infuriating, his entire soul body rippled with rage as he pointed to the last line, "He actually said that my sword techniques are limited by my spiritual root, that it's a problem with the sword techniques themselves, and suggested that I modify the Qiu Zhang Jue. This disciple is truly... infuriating, infuriating... I created this mental cultivation method tens of thousands of years ago, every move and every stance has been refined, refined, and refined again, where is the problem?!"

"..."

So, was he so angry because his disciple said a few words to him and his fragile heart was shattered?
