Xiao Li used her magic to seal off the entire Lingxiao Palace, ensuring that no one could enter or leave, and that Gu Qiqi would not be able to take away a single spirit stone.
Xiao Li took out a white cloud, which was a flying magic artifact. When it grew larger, it was soft and fluffy, and it was comfortable to sit or lie down. It only cost one mid-grade spirit stone per hour.
The only downside is that it's slow.
Xiao Li wasn't in a hurry, and leisurely began her journey through the cultivation world with Lin Qiu.
Gu Yongyuan sighed. His daughter was too naughty, which caused people in the sect to dislike her. What should he do?
"Qiqi, you must not be so willful in the future. Look, the Grand Elder took Lin Qiu on a training trip, but didn't take you with him."
Gu Qiqi was a little angry, but then she turned around and became happy again. It was good that that annoying Lin Qiu was gone. Now, she was the most beautiful one in the sect.
"I don't want to go. The Grand Elder only likes Lin Qiu. I don't want to be with them."
Gu Yongyuan felt somewhat helpless. Although his junior sister was a bit biased, she was strong and could protect Qiqi.
"Since you're unwilling to go, then focus on your cultivation. What if you're not as good as Lin Qiu when she returns?"
Gu Qiqi thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense. She also needed to work hard in her cultivation so that she wouldn't be outdone.
?
Xiao Li led Lin Qiu to the Monster Forest, a place with hundreds of thousands of mountains, which was the territory of the demon race.
This place is rich in resources, has many spiritual objects, and spiritual herbs are everywhere. Xiao Li plans to train here.
Lin Qiu was a smart child. Xiao Li only followed her to protect her. She studied and cultivated at the same time. Every day, in addition to learning to recognize herbs, spiritual plants and mineral veins, she also had to distinguish poisonous plants and insects.
She even has time to refine pills whenever she has a spare moment. Her spiritual roots are fire and wood, which complement each other, which is why her cultivation speed is so fast.
"Qiu'er, all the spiritual herbs must be completely refined to avoid waste. Your spiritual sense must keep up, otherwise you won't be able to sustain the pill until it is completed."
Xiao Li took out a manual for cultivating divine sense, which she obtained in the world of fox spirits and which greatly helped the soul.
"Write it down and then give it back to me."
Lin Qiu knew how precious this manual was, so she took it with care, read it several times, and memorized it completely before returning it to Xiao Li.
It wasn't that Xiao Li was stingy and unwilling to give it to her, but rather that once such a secret manual appeared in the world, it would be priceless and would bring endless calamities.
What you remember is what truly belongs to you. Once you've learned it, as long as you don't tell others, they won't notice.
The two spent ten years in the Demon Beast Forest, and each made progress. Xiao Li had entered the Nascent Soul stage, while Lin Qiu had formed his Golden Core.
If Shen Qianmo hadn't already appeared and the plot hadn't begun, Xiao Li wouldn't have wanted to return to the sect.
It was still that same white cloud, but Xiao Li had refined it again, and now its quality had improved by several levels, and its speed had increased considerably.
Baiyun stopped at the sect gate, and two young women got off, namely Xiaoli and Lin Qiu.
"Master, we're finally back. Speaking of which, I've been missing the trumpet creeper."
If it weren't for the harsh growing conditions of the trumpet creeper, she would have really wanted to dig it up and carry it with her.
"You can see it when you get back. I've sealed off our Lingxiao Palace, so no one can get up there."
The two looked at each other and smiled; it goes without saying who they were wary of.
"Elder, you're back? Did you bring me a gift?"
A girl in a red dress ran over, tugged at Xiao Li's sleeve, and started to act coquettishly.
Looking over, Xiao Li saw that Gu Qiqi had grown into a young woman with an oval face and big eyes, very pleasing to the eye, but compared to Lin Qiu, she was insignificant.
She left in a hurry ten years ago, and since she was only an eight-year-old child at the time, Xiao Li didn't take action against her.
Now it's time to come back and take revenge.
With a flick of her sleeve, Xiao Li caused Gu Qiqi to fall to the side involuntarily.
"As a daughter of a sect, you have countless resources, yet your cultivation has only reached the Foundation Establishment stage. You are simply too useless and a waste. If these resources were distributed to other junior disciples, there would definitely be many more geniuses."
Gu Qiqi almost tripped and fell, but Shen Qianmo caught her, preventing her from making a fool of herself.
Immediately, tears streamed down her face, and she burst into tears with a "waaaah".
"Elder, you're bullying me! I've already tried so hard, I don't believe anyone can beat me."
Xiao Li pointed at Lin Qiu, "Look at Qiu'er, hasn't she already reached the Golden Core stage? She's much more powerful than you."
Gu Qiqi felt wronged and even angrier.
"Wow..."
She went to find the sect leader in tears.
Shen Qianmo glared fiercely at Xiao Li, then followed Gu Qiqi and prepared to run away.
Xiao Li lashed out with a whip and tied him up tightly.
"You remnant of the demonic sect, come with me to see the sect leader."
Shen Qianmo's pupils contracted sharply; his identity had been exposed.
However, his current strength was too weak to be a match for Xiao Li, so he could only resign himself to being dragged to Hengshan Peak.
Gu Yongyuan was still angry after listening to his daughter's complaints when he saw Xiaoli come in.
"Junior sister, how can you say that to a child? What if her Dao heart becomes unstable?"
Xiao Li sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.
"Her inability to withstand setbacks only shows that her Dao heart is unstable. What does that have to do with me?"
Gu Yongyuan was so angry that his beard stood on end.
"What about him? What did he do this time?"
With a wave of her spiritual power, Xiao Li made Shen Qianmo kneel on the ground.
“I heard a few days ago that the Demon Lord’s son went missing.”
Gu Yongyuan was baffled. What did this have to do with him?
Xiao Li released Youyou directly and injected her into Shen Qianmo's body. You should know that Youyou had devoured the Netherworld Pure Fire, which is the nemesis of demonic energy.
Soon, a wisp of demonic energy was drawn out, without even Shen Qianmo noticing it.
Gu Yongyuan's eyes widened. When did his junior sister acquire such powerful flames? And this child was actually the son of the Demon Lord.
What should be done with this child?
Gu Yongyuan needs to redefine his junior sister's status; her cultivation has actually reached the Nascent Soul stage.
"Naturally, we should nip it in the bud."
Just as Gu Yongyuan was about to agree, Gu Qiqi jumped out.
"How can you be so heartless? He's just a child. He hasn't done anything wrong. There's not even a trace of cultivation on him. What you're doing is too much."
Gu Yongyuan glanced at Shen Qianmo. Indeed, he had not yet cultivated, and cultivators could not attack mortals.
"Junior sister, look."
Xiao Li looked at Shen Qianmo and said, "Abolish his spiritual root, cast him into the abyss, and imprison him for eternity."
Only then did Shen Qianmo reveal a panicked expression, and he hurriedly looked at Gu Qiqi.
Gu Qiqi bit her lower lip tightly, a look of resentment flashing in her eyes, but she understood that matters concerning the Demon Realm were not something she could interfere with.
Gu Yongyuan nodded, and soon, the people from the punishment hall took Shen Qianmo away.
