Ye Sisi looked at the national treasure that had rolled to the ground and couldn't help but grind her teeth. She just couldn't understand what the little fat boy was up to.

Could it be because of Wuhen hitting him? But she couldn't hit Wuhen, and if Wuhen got hurt, she would get hurt too.

Seriously, Ling's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. He won't talk to you when you try to talk to him. What does he want? And now he's treating the national treasure like this. He's really giving him too much face.

She quickly and tenderly picked up the national treasure, asking softly, "National treasure, are you alright?"

The panda yawned and waved its little paw: "Does Sisi need something from me?"

Ye Sisi nodded and pointed at Su Jiuli, saying, "National Treasure, look at my senior brother and see if there's any difference between him and before."

Guobao blinked, shifted his posture, and looked at Su Jiuli, asking in confusion, "Such strong luck! I don't remember him having it last time!"

Alright, that's for sure. What Su Jiuli had sealed away was his destiny, so he really is the chosen one.

Ye Sisi felt her experience was so surreal; the winding mountain road had almost made her dizzy.

So after all that, all the novels she read before were for nothing. She even doubted whether the novels even existed, and wondered if she was the only person in the world who had read them.

She wasn't the only one who found it magical; Su Jiuli also thought it was magical. She originally thought he was just a peripheral character in the story, but it turned out he was the hidden protagonist.

Ye Sisi patted Su Jiuli's arm empathetically: "Senior Brother, fate is sometimes so unpredictable, you'll get used to it."

She truly believed that fate was unpredictable. Just look at her; she was just an ordinary student, yet she was being pushed forward by a giant hand called fate.

The most bewildered one is the national treasure. It just woke up, how come there's a chosen one next to Sisi? It must still be dreaming.

"Why don't we postpone our ascension and just take down the Seven Kill Alliance first?"

Ye Sisi gave Meng Tianyuan a thumbs up. As expected of her master, his action was amazing.

Su Jiuli shook her head: "Master, don't be impulsive, wait a little longer."

"Wait for what? Wait for them to be ready to attack us?"

"I received a message a couple of days ago, but I'm not sure if it's true or false."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Su Jiuli continued, "The Seven Kill Alliance is gathering a large army. Although the movements are being kept secret, the alliance and the higher-ups of various sects should have already noticed. The alliance should contact us soon. Although we have four Nascent Soul cultivators, the first to stick their necks out will get hurt. Although eliminating the Seven Kill Alliance is also our goal, preserving our lives is the priority."

Meng Tianyuan fell silent, then said with his hands behind his back, "Since we're going to fight, let's hurry back and cultivate. Sisi, prepare to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

No one objected. Ye Sisi was about to take the national treasure back when the national treasure said in a childish voice, "Sisi, I'm hungry."

Ye Sisi nodded and was about to feed the blood when Guobao grabbed her hand and pointed to a pile of junk, asking, "Can I eat this?"

Ye Sisi glanced at the somewhat damaged magic artifact array plates and then remembered that Pixiu was a gold-devouring beast, so it was normal for it to like eating special minerals.

So he waved his hand and said, "Eat up, eat up."

The panda let out a happy howl and suddenly grew bigger, almost hitting its head on the ceiling.

Then Ye Sisi watched as it opened its mouth and sucked, and with a clattering sound, a bunch of half-broken magical artifacts were swallowed into its belly.

And judging from its unsatisfied look, it clearly hadn't eaten enough. Good heavens, she thought she might not be able to afford to raise this national treasure.

Previously, the national treasure only needed a drop of blood to sleep for a long time, so she thought raising it was not difficult at all. But now, she feels her wallet is starting to ache.

Seeing that the national treasure had shrunk back to the size of two fists, Ye Sisi tentatively asked, "Are you full?"

"Just eat until you're half full."

Ye Sisi looked at the tiny creature and fell silent. She needed to work harder to earn money.

Just then, Su Jiuli took out a section of purple bamboo that was emitting specks of golden light.

"It should prefer to eat this."

Ye Sisi's eyes widened: "Isn't this the Purple Bamboo?"

Purple-gold bamboo is a rare and precious natural treasure. Using it to refine artifacts will result in at least top-grade spiritual artifacts. Given enough opportunity, it is easy for the artifacts to come to life.

So using this thing to feed national treasures is really too extravagant.

Bai Luochen also felt heartbroken, as he had never used Purple Gold Bamboo to refine weapons.

But the national treasure didn't care about any of that. With a wave of its little paw, the half-person-tall purple bamboo shrank to about the length of Ye Sisi's forearm.

With a crack, a chip appeared in the legendary Purple Gold Bamboo, which was said to be even harder than a top-grade defensive magical artifact. Looking at the national treasure, its black and white beast face was full of enjoyment.

Ye Sisi felt heartbroken watching this, so she waved her hand and sent the national treasure back to Xiao Pang's space, out of sight, out of mind.

Thankfully, Little Fatty didn't cause any trouble this time, otherwise she might have really gotten angry.

"Let's go back and make some preparations."

After finishing speaking, Meng Tianyuan walked out first.

The others followed in a flurry, with Ye Sisi at the back. Just as she was about to go out, bursts of electricity appeared on the array light screen at the door. If she hadn't reacted quickly, her hair would probably have been electrocuted again.

I thought this store was owned by Duanmu Xin, and I thought she could take advantage of it. Alas, she was too naive.

Looking at the prominent numbers on the screen, Ye Sisi felt a pang of heartache.

The national treasure ate a full ten million spirit stones, which was all of her wealth! All her wealth was only enough for the national treasure to eat one bite. It's so tragic to think about.

Once she paid, the formation immediately stopped causing trouble, but she wasn't in a good mood; money really does disappear quickly.

Upon returning to the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Ye Sisi began setting up an array on Yingjie Peak. Although she felt confident she could withstand the Nascent Soul Tribulation, she was always prepared, just in case the other one caused trouble.

Ye Shubai also helped out, while Bai Luochen went to collect materials to prepare for Qi refining.

The Heavenly Tribulation weapon is useful, but the materials it requires are also special. Since we can finally get our hands on the Heavenly Tribulation weapon again, we should definitely save up as many as possible.

After all, it's not just the demons who fear the heavenly tribulation; evil cultivators fear it too. We can prepare to give them a surprise when the time comes.

Three days had passed since everything was ready, but there was still no word from the alliance.

Just as Su Jiuli was beginning to doubt the abilities of those old guys in the sect alliance and was considering whether to reveal some information to them, the sect alliance leader, True Person Li Huo, sent a message to Meng Tianyuan.

The Seven Kill Alliance has already gathered its forces and is heading towards the Cangyin Continent.

The Cangjing has four continents. The Cangwu Continent is the headquarters of the Seven Kill Alliance. The Cangxuan and Cangyuan Continents have the most cultivators, the most resources, and of course, the strongest combat power.

The Cangyin Continent is a recognized desolate land with scarce spiritual energy and abundant yin and evil energy, making it very suitable for ghost cultivators to survive. Therefore, the Cangyin Continent itself is very chaotic.

Not only are there very few top experts, but there is also friction between cultivators and ghost cultivators, which makes the overall strength of the Cangyin Continent very weak.

The Seven Kill Alliance's goal is also very clear: once they conquer the Cangyin Continent, it will be equivalent to removing the obstacle between the Cangwu Continent and the Cangxuan Continent, and the next target will be the Cangxuan Continent.
