The following days.
Gingerbread had a really tough time!
Ling Hanchuan is not human. He is not human.
Day 7 of the Devil's Battle Royale.
Gingerbread had a total of 28 wounds, a broken rib, and even his arm was almost broken.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" she cried out in pain, her face pale.
"Junior sister, bear with it..." Wen Yuzhao finished applying the medicine and used the spiritual power of the wood spirit root to heal her wounds.
Immortal Lord Qingxue stood aside, feeling heartbroken.
"It's all that damned Ling Hanchuan's fault."
"Master, it's not Brother Ling's fault." Jiang Bingbing gasped softly; it really hurt too much.
Wen Yuzhao went a little lighter.
Leaning against the wall, Xie Yingnan said, "Master, this is good too. We can't protect our junior sister forever. It's better for her to suffer a little in the sect than to be bullied outside, lose an arm or a leg, or have her life taken away."
She suspected the peacock was cursing her.
"Who says you can't protect someone for a lifetime?"
Immortal Lord Qingxue was somewhat agitated.
Seeing that his master's expression was off, Xie Yingnan quickly changed his tune, "Yes, yes, we can protect him for a lifetime."
“The problem is that our junior sister is a person. As a person, she has her own things to do. We can’t just lock her up. There are places we can’t see even when we’re right under our noses.”
"Didn't something happen at Wuji Peak before?"
The room fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
Jiang Qingxue's face grew even colder.
He knew that what his third apprentice had just said was correct.
But……
“Master…”
Sensing the awkward atmosphere, Gingerbread reached out her little hand and tugged at Immortal Lord Qingxue's sleeve. When he looked over, she curled her lips into a coquettish smile and said, "I don't feel any pain at all."
"I can still lift a cow!"
Immortal Lord Qingxue was amused by the gingerbread.
Xie Yingnan realized he had spoken too quickly and immediately admitted his mistake, "Master, it was your fault for speaking too quickly, please punish me."
Immortal Lord Qingxue remained silent, his gaze fixed on Jiang Bingbing's clothes, which were soaked with blood.
In the world of cultivation.
If he himself is not strong enough, perhaps one day he won't see his little apprentice covered in wounds; as Yingnan said, it might be...
"It's alright, Yingnan, you're right."
Immortal Qingxue handed Jiang Bingbing a storage bag.
"Inside are special pills made by Lingyao Peak, as well as many rare and precious herbs."
"Huh?" Gingerbread tilted its head. "Master, you're so stingy, why do you give me all the good stuff?"
It looks like he's making his final arrangements.
Immortal Lord Qingxue patted Gingerbread's head. "Your third senior brother's words reminded me."
"It's time for me to go into seclusion and attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm."
Just like Senior Sister Qin said, he thought he had good talent, so he was complacent and rarely put in any effort.
Now I have a young apprentice to protect.
We still need to become stronger.
that's all.
Immortal Lord Qingxue decided not to leave seclusion until he reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Before he left, he entrusted the sect leader Wuyai to look after Xianyu Peak and carefully instructed Jiang Bingbing not to go to any dangerous places.
Only then did he return to his cave and enter seclusion.
...
The days when Master went into seclusion.
Gingerbread continued to cultivate under Ling Hanchuan's guidance.
They leave early and return late every day.
Sometimes Wen Yuzhao would come to Wuji Peak.
Seeing Gingerbread's miserable state, he carefully treated her.
They trained at such a high intensity for more than two months.
Gingerbread's body was covered in old and new wounds; not a single patch of skin was intact.
The rib wasn't broken today.
It's that one that breaks tomorrow.
If it weren't for the improved version of the bone-strengthening pill...
Gingerbread might get beaten to a pulp.
Even while consuming the Heavenly-Rank Pills left by her master, she still had Wen Yuzhao, a super-sized baby bottle, providing her with healing.
She was barely hanging on.
...
The time for the opening of the Heavenly Realm is drawing ever closer.
That day.
As Jiang Bingbing was heading to Wuji Peak as usual, Ling Hanchuan transmitted his voice to her: "Junior Sister, I have to go out. You should cultivate well. I'll check on you when I get back."
She counted on her fingers.
It turns out the secret realm will open in three days.
Fen Jue: "How many spirit stones do you have now?"
For more than two months, Mr. Huang worked tirelessly under the lamp, producing three major works.
The gingerbread cakes were all sold at Wanbaolou.
She counted the storage bags.
"There are 700,000 high-grade spirit stones."
Burning Away: "Buy a Transformation Pill."
A makeover pill.
This name is really easy to understand.
"I'll go buy it now."
Gingerbread went down the mountain alone to Wanbaolou without saying goodbye to anyone.
I went there to take a look.
One Transformation Pill costs 500,000 high-grade spirit stones!
Is this blatant robbery?
Why is it so expensive!
No wonder the richest people in the cultivation world are those who specialize in alchemy, weapon crafting, and array formation.
Gingerbread reluctantly paid the bill.
On the way back, she looked sullen and unhappy.
Fen Jue: "You'll get a lot of good stuff when you enter the secret realm, so don't worry about spending this little bit of money."
"I know," she said, forcing a smile.
Burning Away: "Then why do you still look like a little bitter gourd?"
Gingerbread rubbed his nose. "Sigh, I can understand it. It's just that the moment I took out the money, it really hurt."
no way.
Being stingy is innate.
She wished she could be like a mythical creature that only takes in and never gives out.
Burning Away: "..."
After I came back.
Gingerbread packed her things.
Old Huang popped out and hovered around her, asking noisily, "Little girl, where are you going? Take me with you."
“No.” Gingerbread refused without hesitation.
Old Huang felt uncomfortable and said aggrievedly, "I've earned you hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, don't be so heartless! Take me with you, I'm very useful."
