On the day they set off for Chongwu Mountain, Sheng Ning finally saw the true face of her third senior brother, Lu Jingshen.
Lu Jingshen and Lu Qingan are twin brothers.
Sheng Ning had initially thought that since Lu Qing'an had such an androgynous, devilish face, Lu Jingshen must be just as handsome.
As she stood in the square outside the sect, she saw a huge man in a blue robe carrying a bamboo basket hurrying towards her.
"Luckily, we made it in time."
Surrounded by a group of senior brothers, Sheng Ning couldn't help but reach out and tug at Lu Qing'an's sleeve when she saw the man panting from exhaustion.
"Second Senior Brother, who is this...?"
Lu Qing'an raised an eyebrow slightly. "This is your third senior brother, Lu Jingshen, a pill cultivator."
Sheng Ning's eyes widened suddenly, her face filled with disbelief. "But aren't Third Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother twins?"
"Yes, he looks like my mother, and I look like my father, so what?"
Lu Qing'an remained noncommittal.
From childhood, he and Lu Jingshen stood together, and no one ever regarded them as brothers.
But Lu Jingshen actually came back alive?
Lu Qingan frowned. As the older brother, he had to give his gentle younger brother a good talking-to.
"How's the alchemy going? Have you found the Ice-Condensing Grass?"
Lu Jingshen went up the mountain this time to find a plant called Ice Condensation Grass.
Because the Ice Condensation Grass is extremely rare, and it turns into water within two hours of being picked, if a pill refiner obtains it, they must immediately start refining pills, making it extremely precious.
Ice-condensing grass grows in extremely cold places, surrounded by monsters; whoever picks it will die.
Lu Jingshen is lucky to have come back alive this time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Lu Qing'an finished speaking, Lu Jingshen's expression immediately turned ugly.
Alchemy?
He was indeed close to picking the Ice-Freezing Grass a couple of days ago.
However, because there were demonic beasts watching around the Ice Condensation Grass, he not only failed to touch the leaves of the Ice Condensation Grass, but he was also almost eaten by the demonic beasts.
Having barely escaped the clutches of a demonic beast, he was bleeding profusely due to the invasion of demonic energy into his body and died. He opened his eyes in a mountain cave.
He died, yet it seems he never did.
Memories from his past life resurfaced in his mind, telling him that he would die because of Shi Yueyao.
The entire Invincible Sect will be wiped out because of Shi Yueyao.
He realized his mistake before the Invincible Sect was wiped out, and abandoned even the Ice Condensation Grass, rushing back to the sect.
Now that he has returned to the Invincible Sect and seen that his fellow disciples are safe and sound, the anxiety he had been carrying all the way has finally subsided.
"I'm asking you a question, what are you spacing out for?!"
Lu Qing'an, a martial arts practitioner, was hit on the head. Despite his lean and wiry appearance, he was actually stronger than anyone in the Invincible Sect.
Lu Jingshen clutched his head in pain and said irritably, "What medicine are you making? I'm already showing some self-control by not killing Shi Yueyao with it."
Lu Jingshen frowned, his gaze sweeping across the empty square. "Where is she? Did she run off to the Taixu Sect again?"
He wasn't joking.
The additional memories that flooded my mind were extremely bloody.
His memories told him that Shi Yueyao spent her days hanging out with the disciples of the Taixu Sect, and that she would one day lead the Taixu Sect to destroy the Invincible Sect.
Is the Invincible Sect about to be wiped out by the ungrateful wretches they raised?
This won't do!
In order to prevent that ungrateful Shi Yueyao from attacking the Invincible Sect, he decided to kill her with medicine first.
The problem is that Shi Yueyao isn't here.
Thinking that Shi Yueyao, a disciple of the Invincible Sect, was always running to the Taixu Sect and bringing shame to the Invincible Sect, Lu Jingshen's expression became increasingly unpleasant.
"who is she?"
Out of the corner of his eye, Lu Jingshen glanced at Sheng Ning, who was surrounded by Lu Qing'an and others, and noticed that the fierce look on his face had not yet dissipated.
He already had a fierce appearance, not unlike a street fighter.
The anger on his face hadn't dissipated yet, and the way he questioned Sheng Ning's identity would terrify even a child.
When Sheng Ning first met this third senior brother, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and step forward when she heard him say that he wanted to poison Shi Yueyao.
"Nice to meet you, Third Senior Brother. My name is Sheng Ning. I am a new disciple who joined the sect after leaving the Taixu Sect."
"Tai Xu Sect? Since you are a disciple of Tai Xu Sect, why would you come to a small sect like Wu Di Sect?"
Not only Lu Jingshen, but even Lu Qingan and Yu Ye, when they first heard that Sheng Ning came from the Taixu Sect, subconsciously wanted to attack her.
If it weren't for the fact that the Invincible Sect was too small to warrant the attention of a large sect like the Taixu Sect, they would all be afraid that she was a spy from the Taixu Sect.
Sheng Ning patiently explained again why he left the Taixu Sect.
She then swore an oath to never share the same sky with Shi Yueyao and the Taixu Sect, which improved Lu Jingshen's expression.
As she spoke, she took out several specially made small landmines that she had just refined with Guan Yunchuan from her mustard seed bag.
"Take this, senior brothers. It contains compressed croton powder. Just throw it towards the Taixu Sect when the monster frenzy is almost over."
The small landmines, about half the size of a palm, were distributed among Lu Qing'an and his three companions.
Yu picked it up and sniffed it, then heard Sheng Ning's soft voice in his ear.
"Fourth Senior Brother, would you like to lick it again? It'll make it even more effective~"
Yu Ye immediately showed disgust, who knows if Guan Yunchuan had ever licked this thing.
"I don't......"
Then a 'gurgling' sound came from his stomach.
The next moment, Yu Ye was seen running around the square with one hand covering his stomach and the other covering his buttocks.
"What's going on?! Wasn't it said that the croton powder was inside the landmine? I only smelled it!"
Seeing him running around the square, Sheng Ning couldn't bear to remind him that she had mixed some other things into the croton powder.
