Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 29 The Radiant Orchid
The atmosphere on the way was fairly good. Chu Jianyan, seeing the quiet Snow Crystal Purple Eye Cat along the way, couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. "Junior Sister Youqing, why don't you form a contract with this Snow Crystal Purple Eye Cat?"

“I’m a wood-type.” Shen Youqing shrugged. “Most snow crystal purple-eyed cats are fire-type.”

Upon first seeing Yan, he immediately understood.

Most cultivators with wood-type spiritual roots dislike metal-type and fire-type spiritual roots.

"What if it's not fire-based?" Xiao Ke blurted out abruptly.

Shen Youqing glanced at Xiao Ke and then looked down at the Snow Crystal Purple-Eyed Cat, his tone casual, "It can't have mutated into a wood-type, can it?"

"What if?" Xiao Ke asked slowly.

Shen Youqing smiled, her eyes crinkling. "If it really mutates into a wood-type, then I'll form a contract with it."

Then, she will truly be someone who owns a cat.

Xiao Ke's usually cold and aloof expression softened slightly.

After walking for a while, Shen Youqing said to Chu Jianyan, "Senior Sister Chu, did you come to the Crimson Feather Mountain Range for training?"

"I've heard there are Radiant Orchids in the Crimson Feather Mountains, so I've come to look for them," Chu Jianyan said gently.

Unlike Lin Youran's gentle and tender nature, Chu Jianyan's gentleness is more like a result of her good temper.

"The fifth-grade ethereal orchid can calm the mind and increase the probability of enlightenment, and can also improve cultivation level," Xiao Ke said to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing nodded to indicate that he had heard.

However, a fifth-grade spiritual plant is likely to be guarded by a spirit beast that is at least at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

"Won't it be dangerous for Senior Sister Chu to go alone?" Shen Youqing asked with concern.

Seeing that Shen Youqing's concern was not superficial, Chu Jianyan smiled gently, a gentle smile that softened the beauty of her striking face, "There will be several fellow Daoists with you then, not just me alone."

Shen Youqing nodded and said no more.

Before long, the group arrived at the Spirit Heart Grass.

only……

"Senior brother, these spirit herbs are really good! I wonder which kind people disposed of the spirit beasts. We're so lucky!" A smug voice rang out.

Du Yao and her group's expressions turned rather unpleasant.

Camellia, who was perched on the snow crystal purple-eyed cat, trotted over to Shen Youqing's side, waving its red camellia, looking eager.

"You can't eat people!" Shen Youqing raised his hand and threw a hard punch.

The beautiful red camellia suddenly drooped, looking as if it had been wilted by frost.

"It looked like it was going to eat me." Xiao Ke's deep voice carried a hint of lingering fear, and his deep peach blossom eyes were filled with worry. "Junior Sister, I'm very worried about you."

Shen Youqing patted the camellia and then said to Xiao Ke, "I have a contract with it, so Senior Brother doesn't need to worry."

After saying that, Shen Youqing took two steps forward and raised his voice slightly, "We cleared out those spirit beasts, and these spirit herbs are ours."

Xiao Ke gave the smug camellia a sinister look.

As Shen Youqing finished speaking, Chu Yashi, dressed in a pink dress, stood up and said sarcastically, "You say you cleaned up the spirit beasts, so you cleaned them up? I'd say we cleaned them up! Get out!"

Shen Youqing was not annoyed. She raised her hand and bowed to the group of people who were collecting Lingxi grass.

Just when Du Yao and the others thought Shen Youqing was about to give up, Shen Youqing used the "Treading Snow Without Leaving a Trace" technique to rush past.

"Pong-"

Shen Youqing punched Chu Yashi in the face, knocking her over.

Before Chu Yashi could even scream, she had already fainted, and two streams of blood slowly slid down her nose.

"Since words can't communicate, I'll have to resort to physical communication." Shen Youqing smiled slightly, and before he finished speaking, he kicked the man who rushed at him away.

The sounds of fists and kicks made Du Yao and the others' teeth ache, and they were immediately stunned.

No, isn't this Fellow Daoist Shen a talisman master?
Why are you using your fists for close combat?!
Aren't talisman masters supposed to die as soon as someone gets close?!
Has this Fellow Daoist Shen mutated?

Xiao Ke's expression was indifferent, his cold demeanor suggesting a sense of normalcy. Before Chu Jianyan could even speak to stop them, Shen Youqing had already beaten those men to a pulp.

"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! You can have all the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass, okay?!"

After taking two punches, Xie Siyuan's face was bruised and swollen. Just as Shen Youqing's fist was about to land again, he hurriedly spoke up.

He looked truly pathetic and unsightly.

Chu Jianyan pursed her lips, but didn't say a word.

Shen Youqing's indifferent voice rang out, "I want double."

"Why don't you go and grab it!!"

The man lying next to him yelled, then pulled at his wounds and gasped in pain.

"Isn't this robbery?" Shen Youqing cracked his knuckles. "If you keep nagging, it'll be five times the amount!"

Du Yao and the others were delighted to see Shen Youqing making such an outrageous demand; they all felt a sense of satisfaction.

The men who still wanted to shout had to give in under Shen Youqing's fists.

"Fellow Daoist Du Yao, please trouble yourself to clean this up," Shen Youqing said to Du Yao, who was standing to the side.

Du Yao strode forward and began robbing the animals, while the remaining people went to collect the remaining Spirit Rhinoceros Grass.

Xie Siyuan was forced to hand over all the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass and a large sum of spirit stones. When Du Yao moved on to the next person, he breathed a sigh of relief but also secretly remembered the humiliation he had suffered today.

Xie Siyuan, who was about to go to the side to rest, suddenly saw Chu Jianyan in a white dress a few steps away. His expression changed several times, and finally he spoke in a cold and deep voice, "Chu Jianyan?"

It seems she's in cahoots with that woman; is she just going to watch herself get beaten up?!
Chu Jianyan looked at the man, whose face was bruised and swollen and who could be considered ugly, and said in a flat tone, "You said you were delayed on the way and would be late. Does 'having something to do' mean you're going to steal other people's achievements?"

Xie Siyuan felt inexplicably uneasy when he saw Chu Jianyan become indifferent.

“No, it’s Junior Sister Ya Shi.” Xie Siyuan said without hesitation, “She wanted the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass, which is why it took so long.”

Seeing Xie Siyuan's eagerness to explain, Chu Jianyan remained silent.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have quite a few Spirit Rhinoceros Grasses in your storage ring." Shen Youqing's cold voice rang out, and Xie Siyuan turned his head to look and met a pair of sharp eyes.

That gaze was so sharp, it seemed to be able to cut right through people's hearts.

Xie Siyuan quickly looked away.

After searching around, Du Yao gently woke up the sleeping Chu Yashi.

With her nose broken by a punch, Chu Yashi dared not cause any more trouble. She obediently handed over the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass and even gave her a sum of spirit stones.

Du Yao gave one-third of the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass as agreed, but all the spirit stones were given to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing only took one-third of the spirit stones and spirit rhinoceros grass, saying, "I said I wanted one-third, so I only want one-third."

Du Yao did not refuse, but she deeply remembered Shen Youqing's favor.

Having obtained the Spirit Grass, Du Yao and the others quickly left.

Shen Youqing handed the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass to Xiao Ke with a backhand.

As for the spirit stones, she divided them into two portions to feed the camellia and the cat.

The camellia, choked by the spirit stone, tried its best to chew.

After taking the elixir, Xie Siyuan recovered considerably, and the bruises on his face faded a lot, making him look somewhat human again.

"Jianyan," Xie Siyuan said in a gentler tone, "My attitude just now wasn't very good. Let's go find the Youguang Linglan."

Upon seeing Yan, his expression softened somewhat, and he responded with a sound of agreement.

Qingqing: Robbery, cough cough, I'm a professional at kidnapping people! [Proudly raises head]

The reason why Qingqing is so professional is because she was a sword cultivator in her previous life. Sword cultivators are known to be poor!

To support his wife's [natal sword], Qingqing was utterly shameless (not really?).
[Bowing] Suddenly released today!
Thank you for your love, everyone!
