Everyone: "..."

"That doesn't count! Let's try again! How can a sword cultivator like you use talismans!" Ye Nian never expected that he would lose like this.

“Why not? I drew all these talismans, so I’m a talisman cultivator too,” Tian Ning said. “Besides, you were the one who was distracted by looking at Fellow Daoist Zhou Han, which gave me the opportunity.”

Ye Nian: "..."

He was somewhat distracted by the excitement of his senior brother Zhou coming to watch the competition.

"Let's do it again! I want you to fight me with a sword!"

Tianning: "This isn't a restaurant, why would you bring your own food?"

She turned around, wanting to go back inside and quietly read her storybook, not wanting Zhou Han to drag her to the competition again.

“Junior Sister Tianning, since you don’t want to fight in the arena, why don’t you go to the Spirit Beast Garden and help earn spirit stones?” Zhou Han stopped her and lectured, “How can you do nothing all day long? As the saying goes, Heaven rewards diligence, and we cultivators should be even more diligent!”

Tianning didn't want to listen to his nagging, so she resigned herself to going to work at the spirit beast garden, where at least there were cute spirit beasts.

As a result... the elder asked her to help clean up the spirit beast's excrement.

Tianning silently made a hand seal, causing those things to float to the vegetable field behind the mountain. Then, as if being chased by a ghost, he immediately returned to the house without looking back!

Seeing her like this, Xuan Ju chuckled and leaned closer: "If you don't want Zhou Han chasing after you to do something, how about you do me a favor? I'll tell Zhou Han that you've gone to do something for me."

Tianning sensed that he had ill intentions: "You go first."

"Here's the thing, I've been in the Eastern Continent for a long time now, and I've been missing the mung bean grass from my hometown. Why don't you go to the Central Continent and participate in the alchemy competition they're holding in a few days? One of the prizes is a basket of mung bean grass!" Xuan Ju's excitement was palpable when he mentioned food.

Tian Ning poured cold water on him: "You said it yourself, it's going to be held in a few days. From the Eastern Continent to the Central Continent, it's not something that can be done in just a few days."

Although the exact duration is unknown, since it is said to be between two continents, it must be quite a long time.

After all, it would take them four days to travel from the Myriad Swords Sect to the Beast Taming Sect by airship.

Xuanqiu looked at Tianning with her emerald green eyes: "Don't you have a demon sword? Just open a spatial rift and go there... Waaah!"

Before Xuan Ju could finish speaking, Tian Ning immediately covered his mouth!

How did you know?!

Sect Leader Xiao said that the Demon Sword should not be taken out lightly. If the new Demon Lord finds out that she has made a contract with the Demon Sword, he might chase her to the ends of the earth!

"Besides, using the demonic sword will generate demonic energy. Do you want the Beast Taming Sect to arrest me as a demonic cultivator?" Tian Ning thought this method was completely unreliable: "Why aren't you saying anything? What kind of terrible idea is this?"

She looked at Xuanjiu...

Oh, I almost forgot my mouth was gagged.

She quickly released Xuanji.

Xuanqiu's beautiful eyes widened: "What kind of superhuman strength is this? I can't break free!"

Tian Ning: "I was born with superhuman strength. I've had it since I was a child. I'm proud of myself. What's wrong with that? You have a problem with it?"

Xuanju: "..."

“I am Xuanwu, and I can sense the energy of all things more directly. I saw that you had the Demon Sword on you a long time ago.” Xuanju changed the subject from the previous one. He said confidently, “Use the Demon Sword with confidence. I can completely cover up the demonic energy for you. Unless the Heavenly Dao itself comes, even a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage will not be able to detect it.”

Tianning was skeptical: "Is it reliable?"

"Of course, why would I gamble with mung bean grass?" Xuanqiu said sincerely. "Didn't you notice that even within the Beast Taming Sect, the Phoenix Lord didn't find any trace of me? Little girl, the abilities of the four ancient divine beasts are far greater than you imagine!"
