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

Chapter 45 If there's nothing wrong, return to the sect early to prepare.
Yue Xunzhu watched Shen Youqing moving and leaping on the plum blossom stakes, and felt inexplicably gratified.

At least it doesn't look so much like a monkey anymore.

"What are you doing idly?" Yue Hehua glanced at her son beside her. "Go back to practice."

Yue Xunzhu sighed and turned to practice.

I should have rested in the yard.

The advantage of Yue Hehua being present is that their mistakes are corrected and they are given experience during practice, and the speed of their progress is visible to the naked eye.

Shen Quelin, in particular, showed the most significant progress after two hours.

As the sun set, the three siblings were finally able to go back and rest.

Dragging his tired body back to Wanhua Courtyard, Shen You finished cleansing his meridians and marrow, took a strengthening pill, and then went to soak in the hot springs.

The warm spring water enveloped my body, washing away the fatigue from my workout.

The comfortable temperature made her relax and feel drowsy.

"Miss Shen, Young Master Xiao is outside requesting an audience."

The maid's announcement jolted Shen Youqing awake from her drowsiness, causing her to choke on water as she slid down.

"Ahem, I understand. Tell him to wait in the main hall." Shen Youqing coughed twice and hurriedly got up to get dressed.

The maid responded and left.

After dressing, Shen Youqing used her spiritual power to dry her long hair, braided it, and walked towards the main hall.

Xiao Ke sat down and drank a few sips of tea when Shen Youqing arrived.

Having just finished soaking in the hot spring, Shen Youqing had a rosy complexion, her face was fair with a rosy glow, and she looked radiant. Her eyes and brows were full of languor, and a hint of allure, which had been suppressed by her cool and aloof demeanor, was now emerging.

Xiao Ke paused slightly in his hand holding the teacup, then placed it on the table.

"Senior brother," Shen Youqing said, sitting down in the chair next to Xiao Ke, his eyes crinkling with a playful smile, "Did you come here to freeload a meal?"

"Hmm." Xiao Ke responded, and in Shen Youqing's surprised gaze, his deep and clear voice slowly said, "I'm a little curious since this is my first time visiting the Yue family. I'd like to ask my junior sister to show me around."

Looking at Xiao Ke's aloof and dignified demeanor, Shen Youqing was somewhat surprised that he would be curious about the Yue family.

"I'll take my senior brother out for a stroll after we eat," Shen Youqing replied, then added, "Where's Senior Sister Chu?"

“She is cultivating,” Xiao Ke replied.

Shen Youqing nodded, and then went to eat with Xiao Ke.

After dinner, the two went for a walk.

Yue Hehua, who was walking hurriedly, encountered the two people, glanced at them, and then quickly left.

Shen Youqing was curious about what had happened, but seeing the elders behind Yue Hehua, she did not rush up to disturb them.

After a brief stroll, Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke agreed to continue exploring the area more thoroughly the next day before returning to Wanhua Courtyard.

After washing up, Shen Youqing, who was preparing to rest, began to study the Green Branch Entwined Flower Bracelet.

When Shen Youqing probed into the bracelet with his divine sense, he found that the desolate and narrow space had expanded considerably, and the spiritual plants that had been sent in earlier were also thriving.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Youqing noticed a stone not far away with many writings on it.

She leaned closer, read it carefully, and then pondered it for a moment.

The contract between myself and this bracelet was a prank by Shen Qiuluo. Shen Qiuluo's original intention was to disgust me, but I never expected that this bracelet would be a divine artifact.

Unfortunately, he didn't have time in his previous life and never found a way to upgrade the artifact before he died. As a result, the artifact was always used as a large mustard seed space, which had no other use except to hold living things.

After being reborn, she was eager to get her hands on the artifact as soon as possible, to research it and see if she could find a way to upgrade it and develop new uses for it.

Unexpectedly, she actually found it by sheer luck.

Looks like she's pretty lucky!

After memorizing the rare and precious treasures that appeared on the stone, Shen Youqing left.

A dreamless night.

The next day, Shen Youqing still got up at 7:00 AM, and after finishing his body training, he went to find Xiao Ke.

When we arrived at the guest rooms on the east side, it was around 9:00 AM.

Xiao Ke had just come out of the house when he saw Shen Youqing outside.

"Senior brother, I need some Jade Marrow Fungus and Spirit Rhinoceros Grass!" Shen Youqing said. Xiao Ke took thirty of each and gave them to Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing placed the Jade Marrow Fungus and the Spirit Rhinoceros Grass into the Green Branch Entwined Flower Bracelet.

Two spots lit up on the stone inside the bracelet, which corresponded exactly to the chalcedony fungus and spirit grass that had been brought in.

Shen Youqing transferred the same-petal grass from the storage ring to the bracelet, and another light appeared on the stone.

"I'll go see my uncle after I finish eating," Shen Youqing said to Xiao Ke.

Xiao Ke looked at Shen Youqing, his eyes asking her what was wrong.

"I need some rare and precious treasures," Shen Youqing said simply, without mentioning the bracelet.

Xiao Ke spoke, "What do you need?"

Shen Youqing was slightly taken aback, and under Xiao Ke's gaze, he said, "Fourth-grade Ice Dew Fruit, fifth-grade Xuan Turtle Shell, and seventh-grade Xuanhuang Stone."

“I have Ice Dew Fruit and Xuan Turtle Shell.” After saying that, Xiao Ke took out two jade boxes and handed them over.

The smooth, seamless movements left Shen Youqing stunned.

"Thank you, senior brother!" Shen Youqing accepted the gift, already secretly thinking about how to repay the favor.

Seeing that Shen Youqing accepted it, a hint of pleasure appeared in Xiao Ke's eyes.

After breakfast, Shen Youqing went to find Yue Hehua.

After successfully obtaining the seventh-grade Xuanhuang Stone, Shen Youqing put all the items into the bracelet, and the names of all the celestial treasures that appeared on the stone were lit up.

Shen Youqing witnessed the entire process of the bracelet's transformation.

First of all, the space, which was originally about 100 square meters, has been greatly expanded. Now the space is at least three acres in size.

Immediately afterwards, the sparse spiritual energy in the space increased. If the previous spiritual energy was like a dried-up stream, then the current spiritual energy was like a stream with a continuous, flowing stream.

Shen Youqing also saw a spring in the newly appeared area, with spring water overflowing from it and flowing into the wasteland.

Those few spiritual plants took root and grew near the spring quite consciously.

After much hesitation, Shen Youqing still dared not bring in that domineering camellia.

The newly opened space gave Shen Youqing hope. She noted down the new spiritual treasures that had appeared on the stone and then went out.

When Shen Youqing withdrew his divine sense, several elders appeared in the study.

Upon seeing this, Shen Youqing was about to get up and leave.

"No rush," Yue Hehua said.

Shen Youqing looked over in surprise.

"The Sword Tomb of the Azure Dragon Sword Sect has shown unusual activity and needs to be opened ahead of schedule. This matter is related to you," Yue Hehua said slowly.

Shen Youqing was confused. "Uncle, I'm not a sword cultivator."

“Shen Quelin is,” Yue Hehua reminded him.

Shen Youqing tilted her head, then nodded after realizing what she meant. "I understand."

Shen Quelin is not a disciple of the Five Sects and is not qualified to go, but she is a direct disciple of the Hehuan Sect and can go to find the Spirit Sword.

"The spirit swords in the Azure Dragon Sword Sect's sword tomb are all top-notch. You might as well find a few more, and your uncle can buy them from you with spirit stones," Yue Hehua said.

It's time for the sword cultivators of the Yue family to replace their spirit swords.

The elders standing to the side all looked at Shen Youqing with high hopes in their eyes.

Whether or not we can switch to the Azure Dragon Sword Sect's spirit sword depends on Youqing!

"Wait a minute, isn't the Azure Dragon Sword Sect's Sword Tomb closed to the public?" Shen Youqing realized, her eyes filled with curiosity.

My uncle definitely knows some inside information!
“The Azure Jade Sect has produced a naturally born sword bone, and they won’t let this opportunity slip by,” Yue Hehua said calmly. “The four sects are already in talks with the Azure Dragon Sword Sect.”

Shen Youqing understood.

"If there's nothing else, go back to the sect as soon as possible to make preparations," Yue Hehua said.

Shen Youqing choked on his words, then bowed and left.

One mu (unit of land area) = 666.67 square meters
