Gingerbread listened to Fenjue's suggestion.

I've decided not to hide my talents at Xianyu Peak.

She wrote a note and posted it on the courtyard gate.

Then he returned to the center of the courtyard and set up a spirit-gathering array, sitting cross-legged next to the array's core, his hands forming a lotus mudra.

He repeated the cultivation mantra under his breath.

The Spirit Gathering Array was activated, and the spiritual energy from the entire mountain peak continuously converged towards the mountainside.

The spiritual energy seemed to come alive, chasing each other as it flew into the spirit-gathering array.

The others on Immortal Jade Peak, who were cultivating, looked in shock in the direction where the spiritual energy had flown.

Three breaths later.

The four of them gathered outside the gingerbread shop.

Xie Yingnan stepped forward, looked at the note pasted on the door, and his eye twitched after reading its contents.

"I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as my junior sister."

"What are you saying, brat?" Immortal Lord Qingxue raised his hand and slapped Xie Yingnan on the back of the head.

"I'll go see what it says."

After watching.

Immortal Lord Qingxue: "..."

Xie Yingnan scratched the back of his head, feeling wronged, and said, "Master, you still beat me up? Was my description accurate?"

"Ahem—" Immortal Lord Qingxue cleared his throat to cover up his embarrassment.

The master and junior brother reacted like this.

Liu Zheng and Wen Yuzhao were very curious.

The two people walked to the door.

Immortal Lord Qingxue stroked his chin and said, "Azheng, read the contents of the note."

"Okay, Master."

With his sword on his back, Liu Zheng solemnly proclaimed, "Hey, Master, Senior Sister, Senior Brother, let me be clear: I'm an incredibly powerful and awesome genius. Don't be surprised by the commotion I've caused. This genius is currently attempting to break through to the Golden Core Realm!"

"When I emerge from seclusion in three months, I'll trouble my second senior brother to make me a big braised pork knuckle, hehe~"

Wen Yuzhao's expression cracked slightly.

Liu Zheng paused for a moment, then continued reading, "Please don't brag about my genius to everyone, Master~"

Immortal Lord Qingxue: "..."

"Master, do we need to say the rest?"

Immortal Lord Qingxue raised his hand to cover his forehead, trying his best to control the twitching corners of his mouth. "Go on."

Liu Zheng tilted his head, furrowed his brows, and described, "Junior sister drew a cheeky cat giving a thumbs up, and there are two words written on the cat's belly: 'Awesome!'"

The four of them, master and disciples, exchanged glances.

A departure that's hard to explain in words.

When we returned to the main hall at the summit.

Immortal Lord Qingxue instructed Wen Yuzhao, "Yuzhao, please make that girl a braised pork knuckle three months from now. I have some elixirs and heaven-grade materials here for you to take."

"You usually work hard cooking for everyone."

Wen Yuzhao reached out to decline, "Master, I enjoy cooking for everyone, and I don't feel tired at all."

He smiled gently and said, "If my spiritual root wasn't unsuitable, I would have wanted to become a food cultivator."

"Don't refuse, take it!" Immortal Lord Qingxue stuffed the cyan storage bag into Wen Yuzhao's arms.

"I'll go and have a seat with the sect leader."

Died of laughter.

How could I not show off?

My apprentice is so accomplished!

He wished everyone in the sect would envy him!

Wen Yuzhao watched Qingxue Xianjun's smug departing figure, then opened his storage bag and scanned it.

There are so many rare and precious materials.

Master really went all out this time. He let out a long breath. Joining the Sword Sect was the best decision he had ever made.

Time flies.

Two months later.

Wen Yuzhao and Xie Yingnan advanced to the half-step Nascent Soul stage.

They are just one opportunity away from crossing this threshold and officially entering the Nascent Soul Realm.

The vortex of spiritual energy that formed on the summit of Xianyu Peak had long attracted everyone's attention.

He even had disciples.

He went to the foot of Xianyu Peak to meditate and cultivate.

The spiritual energy at the foot of Immortal Jade Peak is more than ten times richer than in other parts of the sect.

What surprised them the most was...

According to Senior Brother Ling.

The one who caused such a commotion was the youngest disciple of Xianyu Peak, that silly boy who hadn't even reached the Qi Refining stage.

Not only did Junior Sister Jiang become smarter after leaving the Sword Tomb, but...

The strength is also getting stronger and stronger.

As sword cultivators, they were inspired and determined not to lose to their junior sister who started so late.

Even gingerbread was unaware of the situation.

The sect's sword cultivators all became entangled in internal conflicts because of her.

Above Xianyu Peak.

A group of Sword Sect masters stood there.

Looking at the disciples who were gathered in layers at the foot of the mountain, Sect Leader Wuya stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Not bad, not bad, Bingbing is truly a lucky star for our Sword Sect."

"It's great to see these guys so spirited!"

Qingxue Xianjun said in a formal and polite manner, "I am also very happy to see such a positive cycle in the sect."

Qin Jueyi glanced at it and said, "Junior brother, stop pretending. Just tell the sect leader what you want."

"..." Qingxue Immortal Lord hummed softly, "What are you saying? I, Jiang Qingxue, also have a sincere heart for the sect!"

“Okay, I understand. You mean you don’t want anything,” Tai Xuan Immortal Lord added.

Immortal Lord Qingxue: "..."

Qin Jueyi whispered expressionlessly in the ear of the sect leader, "Senior brother, I've saved you a lot of money."

Sect Leader Wuya raised his hand to wipe his sweat. "Thank you for your help, Jueyi."

Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what that brat Jiang Qingxue was asking for this time.

The disciples cultivated tirelessly around Immortal Jade Peak.

Gingerbread was unaware of the passage of time while cultivating; she was sensing the circulation of spiritual energy through the microcosmic and macrocosmic orbits.

More than a month later.

The disciples at the foot of the mountain are practicing.

Suddenly I felt enveloped in shadow.

One of the disciples pointed to the horizon and cried out in disbelief, "My God, it's a tribulation of lightning!"

"What? It's still the Forty-Nine Great Thunder Tribulation!"

"Who summoned this great tribulation of lightning?"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

The most unbelievable answer flashed through my mind.

"Junior Sister Jiang is in seclusion trying to break through to the Golden Core realm. Could it be that she attracted this?"

"How is that possible? This is a major lightning tribulation! Only Senior Brother Ling in the sect is experiencing a major lightning tribulation; the other senior brothers and sisters with exceptional talent are only experiencing normal lightning tribulations."

"Those who survive the great tribulation of lightning are not only exceptionally talented and strong, but also cultivators favored by the Heavenly Dao."

"If you can't withstand it, you'll be struck dead."

"So whose tribulation was it? Was it Senior Brother Wen and Senior Brother Xie from Immortal Jade Peak who advanced to the Nascent Soul stage?"

“I don’t know!”

There was constant discussion.

Thick, dark clouds slowly pressed down on Xianyu Peak.

Lightning bolts of immense power occasionally flashed within the thunderclouds.

The disciples at the foot of the mountain retreated one after another.

What if you accidentally get struck by lightning and die?

That would be a terrible injustice!

Sensing the commotion outside, Immortal Lord Qingxue quickly flew to the sky above Immortal Jade Peak.

Liu Zheng and the other two had already come out.

Immortal Lord Qingxue was speechless. "It's actually the Forty-Nine Great Thunder Tribulation, which hasn't been seen for many years! Little Bing—"

Xie Yingnan fell into an eerie silence. Recalling the narcissistic words on the note, his expression became constipated as he replied, "She—is she really a genius?"

"Quickly, quickly, call the sect leader over!" Immortal Lord Qingxue said solemnly, "The Great Thunder Tribulation is the hardest to survive. Han Chuan survived the Forty-Nine Great Thunder Tribulation but was left with only half a life."

"We absolutely cannot let Xiaobing get into danger!"

"Go find the sect leader immediately!"
