Later, Sui Yi gave many talismans to the Twelfth Elder before she was released. This trip was very fruitful; she at least learned some information about Qi Muzhi, and she would find him again after she ascended to immortality. For now, it was just a matter of completing the mission.

Sui Yi then visited the other elders, addressing each one's specific needs and gaining considerable favor. By the end of the day, Sui Yi had won over everyone except the Fourth Elder.

That evening, Sui Yi lay in bed, pondering her next move. She had learned that Jiang Heng had been seriously injured in the Enchanted Forest a few days prior and was currently recuperating, unlikely to make any public appearances.

Suiyi took Axing out of her spatial dimension.

"Ah Xing, did you guys do this to Jiang Heng?" That's all Sui Yi could think of at the moment.

"Yeah, right!" Ah Xing said, looking for praise.

"Well done!"

Are there any prizes?

"Yes, the prize is a Nascent Soul Pill," Sui Yi said with a smile, tapping its little head.

"Transformation Pill? What's it used for?"

"Would you like to transform into a human?"

"think!"

"Then you'd better be obedient and go back. I'm going to start cultivating!" After Ah Xing returned to her space, Sui Yi sat cross-legged, formed hand seals, and entered a meditative state. Streams of spiritual energy surged in from all directions, entering her body. The spiritual energy in this place was quite dense. Just think, the Supreme Elder, a powerful being about to ascend, possessed methods that connected heaven and earth; a small method of gathering spiritual energy was nothing to him.

Sui Yi's absorption of spiritual energy is accelerating, perhaps because her body is that of a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, thus eliminating any perceived bottlenecks. Some might consider the ten-thousand-year mark as the hurdle. Sui Yi is only a little over a hundred days away from reaching ten thousand years!

In these hundred-plus days, Suiyi must complete her mission and ascend to the celestial realm.

Suiyi is now progressing from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage! All her spiritual energy is surging into her dantian, and the golden bead in her dantian is being urged to rotate faster and faster.

At this moment, spiritual energy swirled like a tornado in the sky above this place, attracting many onlookers.

"My God, what's that? Is someone about to advance?"

"That place..." The Grand Elder and the others were also startled and came out. Looking at that place, they murmured to themselves.

The Supreme Elder Qing Rong also witnessed the turbulent scene there. In a flash, he appeared at the entrance of the cave. He glanced at the sky, where spiritual energy burst forth, obscuring the strange phenomena amidst the flying sand and stones!

"Good heavens, this kid has been hiding his abilities so well, he's almost at the Nascent Soul stage! How old is he? Hmm? Wait, why is there such a strong medicinal fragrance emanating from her?" Qing Rong frowned and walked in. She watched Sui Yi, who was advancing in the cultivation stage, from afar.

The golden core in Suiyi's dantian has become increasingly fragile due to the infusion of spiritual energy, as if it might shatter at any moment. It's almost here; she must hold on.

Sui Yi calmed her mind and began to guide the spiritual energy to circulate around her. Finally, she injected the spiritual energy into her dantian while chanting the incantation of the Spirit Refining and Cultivating Heaven Technique.

After a long while, the golden core finally began to shatter. After the golden core shattered, a ginseng appeared inside Sui Yi's body, which then turned into a small person. This was Sui Yi's original appearance.

Sui Yi relaxed her absorption of spiritual energy, slowly stabilizing her cultivation level. Looking inward, she saw that her meridians were more than twice as thick as before – this was the Nascent Soul stage!

After her state of mind stabilized, Sui Yi exhaled a breath of turbid air and slowly opened her eyes.

"Master!" As soon as she opened her eyes, Suiyi saw Qingrong standing not far away and stood up to call out.

"The Nascent Soul stage?"

"Yes!" he nodded.

"It seems you've been hiding your true nature quite well. I can smell a strong medicinal fragrance on you. What is your true form?" Qingrong asked with a serious expression.

"Master, I am a ginseng that was almost ten thousand years old. By chance, I transformed into human form."

"Wan Nian? You must keep this identity safe, otherwise you'll likely be hunted down by many people in the future," Qing Rong said seriously.

"No! No, Master. My strength is only average, so there's nothing I can do about it."

"In short, be careful. By the way, after you go out later, explain to everyone that it was a strange phenomenon caused by your master refining elixirs, understand?"

"I know!" Suiyi nodded. This master is really cute.

"Master, do you have a premonition of when you will ascend to immortality?"

"Ascension is not urgent; we should wait until you have the ability to protect yourself."

"Master, you must hurry, otherwise I'll probably ascend to immortality in three months!" Sui Yi really never misses a chance to shock people.

"What? Three months later?" Her eyes widened. What a joke! Ascension was like drinking water to her.

"Master, I'm almost ten thousand years old! It would be really inexcusable if I didn't ascend soon!"

Qingrong: ...Comparison is the thief of joy. Taking on a disciple is enough to drive a master crazy.

"Whatever. Do you have something to do in these three months? Once you're done, you can ascend to immortality?"

"Um!"

"What is it?"

"revenge!"

Qing Rong choked, it was simply... Never mind, this guy immediately put his hands behind his back, turned around, removed the barrier and walked out, with Sui Yi following behind.

As soon as they stepped outside, they found the entrance to the cave filled with people. Upon seeing Suiyi and Qingrong, everyone understood!

It turned out to be the Supreme Elder. Who would have made such a big fuss?

"Supreme Elder!"

"Hmm! You've all arrived?"

"There was an unusual phenomenon in this area just now, so we came to take a look."

"It was just that old man refining pills that caused this strange phenomenon. Everyone, please disperse and go about your business."

Upon hearing this, everyone obeyed and did as instructed.

The sect leader walked to Qingrong's side and bowed respectfully.

"Elder, is your time for ascension approaching?"

"It could take six months at the slowest, or three months at the fastest. Don't worry, I will gather people to come and observe when they ascend. Whether they can achieve enlightenment depends on their own destiny!"

"yes!"

"Ningning, come down the mountain with me!"

"Yes, Master!" Qingrong summoned her flying mount, and Suiyi jumped on and left Xuanfeng Sect.

"Master, why did you bring me along?"

"Tch, I've seen through your little tricks. Your enemies are in the sect, right?"

"Uh, Master, you are wise."

"Being in a sect always feels restrictive; things are much easier after you come down the mountain. Who are your enemies?"

"Does that master want me to curry favor with him?"

"You brat, don't you think your master's powerful backer is for you to cling to?"

"Thank you, Master. Ningning's enemy is Jiang Heng, the disciple of Fourth Senior Brother. She tried to capture me before Ningning took human form. Luckily, I escaped quickly. So this time, the hunter and the prey must switch roles."

"Alright! Her words are nothing to fear, you can play by yourself. But if you encounter any problems you can't solve, tell me. You should know that you didn't become a disciple for nothing."

"Yes! Thank you, Master." Sui Yi smiled, surprised to receive such a helpful assist. This old man was truly adorable.

In the following days, Suiyi waited for an opportunity while cultivating.
