Nangong Qing swallowed her saliva, these four sacred beasts were even more powerful than she had imagined. She thought they were just above the god level, but she didn't expect them to be even more powerful than above the god level.

"Master, what level of strength are you at?"

Yue Hongchao smiled mischievously, "Girl, the first rule of the sect is that disciples cannot inquire about the master's strength!"

“…”

Nangong Qing looked at him depressedly. This was the rule he had just set. He was so stingy. It was just revealing one's strength. Was it necessary to be so stingy?

"Master, you must have reached the God level, right?"

"Let's go, it'll be later. We'll have to sleep outdoors in the snow tonight!" Yue Hongchao left gracefully after saying this. He didn't even need a magic beast. Nangong Qing quickly summoned the Fire Phoenix and chased after him.

"Master, aren't we going back to our uncle's place? This road is wrong?" Nangong Qing looked at the mountains below in confusion. This route was clearly not leading to our uncle's place.

"Go back to the mountain and practice. Otherwise, with the little skills you have, how long can you live!" After Yue Hongchao finished speaking, he took her straight to Yuefeng Mountain, where he lived.

Nangong Qing felt a slight pain in her heart when she thought of Long Yixuan. She decided to practice for a few years first. Long Yixuan was in this condition now, so what could she say?

On Yuefeng Mountain, Nangong Qing looked at the great hall on the top of the mountain. It was surrounded by cliffs and existed independently. If it weren't for the Fire Phoenix, Nangong Qing really doubted whether she could get up there.

"You will practice here from now on until you break through to the Earth Level!"

"Master, what does it mean to break through the low levels?" Nangong Qing asked with a frown. Don't we have to stay here for a while?

[Note: Nangong Qing was injured by Suzaku. Although she was wearing Silver Willow, Silver Willow can only protect her from the Heavenly Rank and below, so Nangong Qing was injured.]

"It takes a year to break through the low level. You didn't forget that you still have the Xuanwu beast and you haven't found it yet, right?"

Yue Hongchao’s words made Nangong Qing very depressed, “Master, how do you know that I still haven’t found the Xuanwu beast?” She didn’t tell him, so how could he know?

Yue Hongchao snorted, "Master, if you don't even know this, how can you still be your master?"

…

What a narcissistic guy, Nangong Qing muttered in her heart. Yue Hongchao threw a book to her. Nangong Qing flipped through it and saw that all it recorded were kung fu and skills.

"Go and practice. If you can't break through the lower levels in a year, you will be expelled from the sect!"

"master!"

This is too cruel! How can a master be like this? His personality is really weird!

"Remember to bring lunch to the master at noon." Yue Hongchao left a word and flew to her room, ready to take a nap.

Nangong Qing took the book in her hand and began to study.

Time passed day by day, Nangong Qing studied the skills and techniques in the books diligently, but her strength improved very slowly. Three months passed, and she still had no sign of a breakthrough, but her skills and techniques had improved a lot. Nangong Qing decided to continue practicing. Practicing was not that hard, the hardest thing was that she had to serve Yue Hongchao three meals a day. If the food was not tasty, she would be scolded. Nangong Qing was very depressed. Moreover, she found that she could not leave Yuefeng Mountain at all because Yue Hongchao had set up an array.

Although she was scolded by her master, Nangong Qing was able to endure it every time. Moreover, when she was practicing, she found that she was progressing faster than before. Within a year, Nangong Qing really broke through the low level and entered the middle level. This was something Nangong Qing had never expected.

"Master, my disciple has made a breakthrough!" Nangong Qing went up to pay his respects happily, but found that the master was no longer in the room. She looked around curiously, but still could not see any trace of him.

"Master..." A piece of paper floated over and hit him in the face.
