The biggest event that happened at Qingyun Sect this month was that Chen Siling, the closed-door disciple of Elder Qingshan, successfully formed his core at the age of twenty.

Chen Siling is the fifth prince of Rui Kingdom, a fact known to most in the Qingyun Sect. In addition, his talent for cultivation is indeed outstanding. He successfully established his foundation at the age of fourteen and formed his core at the age of twenty, which already makes him a genius of the Qingyun Sect.

After successfully forming his core, Chen Siling went into seclusion for half a month to thoroughly consolidate his cultivation before emerging to hold a grand banquet in celebration. The elder in green robes was also very happy; his disciple's achievement within the sect meant that reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future would not be difficult.

Chen Siling was riding high on his success. After forming his core, both his lifespan and strength had improved significantly, which fueled his ambition. He was determined to reach the Nascent Soul stage, lead the Rui Kingdom, and conquer the surrounding countries. Even the territory of the Qingyun Sect should expand.

However, Chen Siling wasn't completely blinded by his current achievements. Although Luoxia Valley was the mortal enemy of Qingyun Sect, Xiu Qiyu was already recognized across the continent as a peerless genius destined to ascend to immortality within a century. At that time, Luoxia Valley's status would soar, and it wouldn't be impossible for it to become a top-tier power. Therefore, he automatically ignored Luoxia Valley and the shadow that Xiu Qiyu had cast over all geniuses, a peerless genius who had suppressed generations of prodigies.

Chen Siling never expected that his desire not to provoke Xiu Qiyu did not mean that Xiu Qiyu would let him go, and that Ye Xiruo had even devised several ways for him to die.

"Senior Brother Chen, it's Wang's birthday in two days. You should go back now."

“Of course we have to go back. It’s time to settle some scores.” Chen Siling looked in the direction of the Rui Kingdom’s palace, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Empress and Second Prince, I wonder how you've fared these past years, living in constant fear. This time, with your Core Formation, there will be absolutely no chance of survival for you. I'm sure your father knows the choice he must make.

When Liu Tiesheng woke up, he found that Aunt Wang had returned to her original appearance and her overall mental state had improved a lot. His smile immediately became more pronounced, and he quickly thanked Ye Xiruo.

Do you know why Aunt Wang recovered so quickly?

"Isn't this the work of the miraculous doctor Xiao Yezi, bringing the dead back to life?" The effect was simply immediate.

"Of course it's not entirely my doing; it's your fault. I've already figured out a way to treat your right arm."

"Really? I thought this arm was ruined forever."

"How could that be? I am destined to become a divine master, I will not let your arm be crippled like this."

"Thank you so much, Xiaoliu. I can never repay this kindness."

If Ye Xi hadn't told Tie Shengtian about the Jade Bone-Mending Ointment, then she'd have to figure out a solution for her master herself!

"Don't worry! In a couple of days, Brother Xiu Qi will take you to get revenge."

"Xiao Liu is referring to Chen Siling."

"That's right, that guy is like a tortoise. So what if he's only at the Core Formation stage? He's hiding in the sect and won't come out. In a couple of days, it will be the old emperor's birthday, and he will definitely come down the mountain. That will be our chance."

"He has already formed his core."

"He's only at the Core Formation stage; he's still a nobody."

Liu Tiesheng's smile was somewhat bitter. Chen Siling did indeed have the right to be arrogant and domineering. He had cultivated for ten years and had only barely reached the Foundation Establishment stage, while Chen Siling had already reached the Core Formation stage. Was it destined that he would not be able to avenge this grudge himself? Liu Tiesheng felt extremely bitter.

"Brother Tiesheng, do you still hate that woman?"

"She was a pitiful person too."

"Every pitiful person has something hateful about them. How could you not know she did it on purpose? Why did it have to be you?" Ye Xiruo's tone was somewhat sharp.

For a moment, Liu Tiesheng didn't know what to say. That woman was just a trigger; the real culprit was his son. Ultimately, it was because he was too weak that he was easily trampled underfoot and reduced to insignificant dust.

"I'll find that woman for you. You decide what to do with her!" In this dog-eat-dog world, Tie Sheng was too kind. In the cultivation world, even spouses and brothers can easily turn against each other. Murder is commonplace. Tie Sheng probably didn't realize this, which is why he acted rashly and almost lost his life.

"Alright. But, young master, could you spare him so I could kill him myself?"

“If we let someone like that escape, he will become a major threat. You should think more about Aunt Wang and the people of Liujia Village.” That pitiful sense of self-esteem is truly insignificant compared to these more precious things.

This time, it was Xiu Qiyu who spoke.

"I understand what to do." Liu Tiesheng's expression was rather solemn. He was now just a cripple, while his young master had already formed his core. For a core cultivator, killing him was no different than crushing an ant. Liu Family Village could also be destroyed with a mere gesture from him.

"Thank you, Xiao Liu. Thank you, Senior Brother."

"The disciples of my Sunset Valley will not be insulted."

“The people of Liujia Village are not people that anyone can mess with as they please.”

The two men's tone and expressions were remarkably similar, giving Liu Tiesheng a very strange feeling.

Ye Xiruo used the Qingyang Zhenqi (a magical artifact) to further nourish Liu Tiesheng's body, and then took out a pile of pills, instructing him to take them on time. She would prepare a medicinal meal that evening to slowly help Liu Tiesheng recover.

After dealing with the young master, she and Brother Xiu Qi can return to Liu Family Village and explore the secrets of the back mountain. She has been thinking about that adorable creature she saw that time for a long time; it's even cuter than Xiao Bao.

Since the three bamboo groves in the space grew, Xiao Bao has practically taken root there, eating and sleeping all day long, becoming a plump, black-and-white ball. He doesn't even want to be hugged by Ye Xiruo anymore. Sigh, what a sad story!

That evening, Ye Xiruo sent Jingli a text message, briefly mentioning Tie Sheng's condition and the treatment plan she had come up with, asking her master if the plan was feasible and if there were any improvements or refinements needed. If not, she would trouble her master to refine a Heavenly Jade Rejuvenating Ointment. She also mentioned that she had recently developed a new spiritual wine, which would be ready to drink in about a year and a half, and would certainly not disappoint her master. She only hoped that when her master saw this message, he wouldn't think of rushing over and killing her.

However, she had no other choice but to ask her master for help.

Sure enough, on the third day, Ye Xiruo received a message from Jing Li. The message was simple: Yes, one hundred jars of spirit wine.

So, Master has agreed. That's wonderful. One hundred jars it is, they're for my master to drink anyway.
