"Junior Sister! This thing is amazing!" Wei Weiwei was overjoyed. This thing was much better than the talismans she had drawn, and she was clearly pleasantly surprised.
Xue Shan seconded the motion.
Zhu Yi calmly replied, "It's nothing, just a drop of water!"
The sect's only requirement for disciples in the Qi Refining stage to undergo a ten-day trial is to return alive.
In this respect, Tianlan Sect is much more open-minded than other sects.
Other sects allow their disciples to participate in trials, but there are assessment criteria.
For example, how many spiritual herbs do the disciples need to collect, and how many spirit beasts and demon beasts do they need to hunt...
The Tianlan Sect, on the other hand, believed that since their disciples rarely had the chance to come out for trials, the most important thing was for them to have fun.
As disciples gather spiritual herbs and hunt spiritual beasts and monsters, they will naturally discover their shortcomings. Upon returning, the wise disciples will reflect on their actions and strive to improve.
Those who aren't smart, then so be it. Being a little stupid won't hurt you. After all, the disciples of the Tianlan Sect are honest people.
Most importantly, the Tianlan Sect believes that if the trial trip encourages disciples to collect spiritual herbs and hunt living creatures, it will harm the harmony of nature and be detrimental to the recuperation of the trial grounds.
An excessive desire for killing is also detrimental to the disciples' cultivation.
So once the disciples entered the mountains, those who liked to wander around could wander around, those who liked to soak in the lake could soak in the lake, and those who liked to hunt and contract spirit beasts could contract several more and even bring them back to the Spirit Beast Peak to raise...
Therefore, Zhu Yi's participation in the trial was essentially a sightseeing trip with the sect.
As for herself, she didn't care too much about how much good stuff she could get; she cared more about whether Zhu Qianying could form a contract with the Peach Tree during this trial.
This is about our arch-rival's treasure hunt, so we can't afford to take it too seriously.
"Junior Sister, why have you been fiddling with the spirit stone bag and clothes your sister gave you?" Xue Shan was puzzled. Why had Zhu Yi been looking down and fiddling with these things ever since she put on sunglasses?
"You don't seem to like it that much. How come you were arguing and bickering with your sister at first, saying that you two had no relationship, and then you turned around and started acting cute and asking her for this and that?" Wei Weiwei was also confused. Her junior sister's face changed so quickly. She was dumbfounded at the time.
Wei Weiwei dared not speak to her elder sister like that, or she would be punished by being forced to kneel in the ancestral hall.
Her elder sister just looked at her coldly and ignored her, unlike Zhu Yi, who was all smiles on the surface but secretly... Every family has its own troubles, and Wei Weiwei felt that if Zhu Yi didn't say something, she shouldn't ask.
Xue Shan, however, was unaware of this, as her family was of modest means and could not afford to take a concubine.
Their family consisted of four people, a small household, and they weren't as cunning as wealthy families...
"Nothing much, just took Zhu Qianying's things and modified them myself, to see if I could learn anything!" Zhu Yi said enthusiastically, unaware that her two best friends were already imagining all sorts of dramatic power struggles within the household.
A yellow talisman drawn with cinnabar ink was applied to the spirit stone bag, temporarily storing Zhu Qianying's clothes away.
Zhu Yi added another sheet of white paper on top, on which a simplified topographic map of Huangfeng and Lvfeng was drawn.
She looked left and right and felt that only one yellow talisman was missing something.
Wei Weiwei silently handed her a tracking talisman drawn on spirit paper and a concealment talisman.
Just as Zhu Yi was about to doze off, someone handed her a pillow.
She affixed both talismans to her spirit stone pouch, then formed a hand seal with her fingers, conjuring a small lotus flower to activate the talismans.
A small, pale yellow dot appeared on the white paper, constantly moving, which Xue Shan found amazing.
"So, Junior Sister wanted these things to stalk your sister?"
"Hehe, people have no intention of harming tigers, but tigers have the intention of harming people. As for my elder sister, it is not too much to guard against her no matter how much you guard against her."
Wei Weiwei suddenly had a feeling that was hard to put into words. "Junior Sister, the yellow talisman you just drew is not quite the same as the ones I usually learn. The one you drew on yellow paper is probably not powerful enough."
As soon as she finished speaking, the yellow talisman that Zhu Yi had drawn spontaneously combusted. Zhu Yi twitched her lips and said, "Sister Weiwei, do you have any blank talisman sheets? Could you give me a few more? I need them!"
Wei Weiwei smiled and handed Zhu Yi another stack of blank talisman papers.
Zhu Yi took it, and suddenly she felt as if she had stepped on something. She subconsciously moved her foot away, and the thing moved with her.
In the darkness of night, Chifeng was eerily quiet, and Zhu Yi suddenly felt that something was amiss.
This place is supposed to be a training ground, so why is it so quiet?
Why isn't there any sound of disciples fighting? Is it because Chifeng is too big, so the disciples are a bit far apart?
"Crackling~ Glug~" Zhu Yi looked down and saw a small red flower without leaves at her feet. The flower stem was empty, and the five or six alluring petals surrounded not the stamen, but a mouth with gleaming red teeth.
Strange noises arose from all around, and the three quickly formed a triangle, standing back to back.
With the aid of the dark crystal goggles, Zhu Yi was able to quickly see the spiritual plants surrounding her.
"What are these things? They don't feel like spiritual plants!" Xue Shan swung her sword, but Little Red Flower quickly dodged it. The jade-colored Hehuan Sword shimmered with a lustrous light under the influence of spiritual energy, making Little Red Flower shake its head.
“I don’t think this is a spiritual plant. Sister Shan, look at the sharp teeth in the middle of them. It looks like it’s going to eat people!” Zhu Yi drew her Morning Dew Sword and used the first three moves of the “Morning Clouds and Evening Rain” sword technique in succession before she forced the little red flower in front of her back.
Wei Weiwei first threw out a few slow-speed talismans, then her palm lit up with a red light. The Li Huo Bow emitted a low hiss, and an arrow carrying spiritual fire flew out, piercing through the little red flower and quietly returning to its place.
"We wandered around Chifeng this afternoon and all the spiritual plants we saw were very gentle. Why is this little red flower so irritable?" Wei Wei whispered as she carefully observed the little red flower that had been pierced by an arrow.
After the small red flower withered and fell, black mist filled the air. Wei Weiwei could see clearly through her sunglasses that after the black mist dissipated, a small dark red bead remained on the ground, which must have been the core of the small red flower.
Zhu Yi observed that the aura released after the little red flower dissipated was not spiritual energy, but rather demonic energy.
"This aura is very familiar! It's quite similar to the aura of the moves used by the demon cultivators we encountered on Bright Moon Street that day!"
“If that’s the case, then these little red flowers in front of us must not be spiritual plants, but demonic plants,” Zhu Yi boldly asserted.
"A magical plant? How could there be a magical plant on Seven-Colored Peak?" Xue Shan asked in surprise, but after careful observation, she agreed with Zhu Yi's idea.
A large number of small red flowers swarmed up, using the energy of the grass, trees and forests of Chifeng, and they seemed tireless in their relentless attack on the three junior cultivators.
"Haha, we're going to have a feast tonight! Brothers, let's go! The more we put in, the more we can do. As long as we can hold out until these three run out of spiritual energy, we'll be in for a treat!"
"Ahhh, I want to eat that talisman-drawing one! She just shot and killed my flower companion! I swear I won't be a Demon Blood Flower until I avenge this!"
