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

Chapter 80 Attempting to Use Backdoors

Meanwhile, a number of people gradually appeared on the lush green grass.

This space contains an endless expanse of green meadows and a lake. The place is so quiet that it exudes a faint sense of death.

Jiang Chenying, who was the first to arrive, walked to the lakeside and looked at the ripples on the lake surface. After thinking it over, she did not rush into the water.

The water is dark green, and as the saying goes, "green water is deep." The lake is very clear, but so green that you can't see the bottom. What's in the lake is unknown, so it's best not to go in rashly just to be on the safe side.

Just then, Xie Changyan, carrying a long sword, walked over from a distance.

Jiang Chenying turned around and saw a number of people walking over.

Shen Qiuluo, Xiao Ke, Shen Quelin, Shen Xingzhi...

"Oh, everyone's here?" Gu Xingluan said, then looked around in surprise. "Where's Chu Jianyan? Shen Youqing isn't here either."

“Third Junior Brother is not here either.” Jiang Chenying looked around and said in a cold voice, “The few who are not here… are all talisman masters.”

Talisman Master?

Xie Changyan pondered for a moment, "If their ancestor was a talisman master, could it be that they encountered a fortuitous event? Or perhaps they are undergoing a test of inheritance?"

“Possibly.” Jiang Chenying looked around. The endless grassland was quiet and peaceful, with no wind and no living creatures.

The first test should have been to separate them. Are they now being brought together for the second test?
“Since the younger generation of my sect knows me as a talisman master, they should also know that I am a pill alchemist.”

A majestic and ethereal voice echoed in this space.

"What instructions did our ancestors give?" Jiang Chenying raised his hand in a respectful bow and asked.

"Let me see your talent for alchemy." The authoritative voice echoed, its lingering sound resonating in the air.

The alchemists looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Fifth Junior Brother, go!" Lin Jinyao took two steps back and said to Xiao Ke, "I'll protect you."

Xiao Ke nodded slightly to Lin Jinyao, but did not make a move immediately.

Shen Quelin looked around.

Shen Xingzhi walked to Shen Quelin's side and whispered, "You also have a top-grade fire spirit root, why don't you give it a try?"

Shen Quelin suddenly turned to look at Shen Xingzhi, "When did I become a pill refiner?"

How could he not know that he could also refine pills?

"You're not an alchemist?" Shen Xingzhi asked in surprise.

Aren't all those with top-grade fire spirit roots alchemists or weapon makers?
Wouldn't Shen's neighbor know that?

Shen Quelin: ...

"You really are a good sister," Shen Quelin said quietly. "I wish I had the time to learn that."

Shen Xingzhi gave an awkward laugh.

Jiang Chenying had already chosen a place away from the crowd to sit down. He took out his alchemy furnace and prepared to refine pills.

Shen Qiuluo also silently walked to the side, sat down, and took out the alchemy furnace.

She hasn't been learning alchemy for long, and she might not be able to gain the favor of the ancestor Bufeng, but if she doesn't try, wouldn't she be handing this opportunity over to someone else?
Bu Feng's gaze lingered on Shen Qiulu for a moment.

This little girl not only possesses a top-grade fire spirit root, but also has innate sword bones.

She once acquired a very good sword technique, which was quite suitable for this girl with a natural talent for swordsmanship, but... we still need to observe this girl's temperament.

Meanwhile, Shen Youqing, who had sunk to the bottom of the lake, was swept away by the underwater current and carried away by the underground river to a distant place.

During this time, a force enveloped her, preventing her from touching the surrounding stone walls.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Shen Youqing, feeling dizzy and cold all over, was suspended in mid-air, feeling weightless.

"puff"

Shen Youqing followed the waterfall down the cliff into another lake.

The sound of splashing water was incessant. Shen Youqing floated up from the water and then floated on the surface of the water in a starfish shape to regain his senses.

I never imagined I'd experience rafting in my lifetime!
Stimulate!

After a while, she struggled to open her eyes in the splashing lake.

As soon as she opened her eyes, several splashes of water got into them. Shen Youqing blinked uncomfortably, then raised her hand to wipe the water droplets from her face. "You're enjoying yourself?" A familiar voice echoed from the bottom of the cliff where the water was flowing. "Get up quickly."

Shen Youqing floated, drifting along with the current, and said, "No."

"That's what you said."

As soon as he finished speaking, a thick, black snake tail appeared in the relatively clear water.

The next second, the snake's tail wrapped around Shen Youqing's waist and suddenly pulled her towards the bottom of the lake.

"You gurgle gurgle..."

Shen Youqing, who was about to curse, swallowed two large mouthfuls of icy lake water and had to shut her mouth tightly. There was a hint of fierceness in her phoenix eyes.

As they approached the bottom of the lake, Shen Youqing passed through a barrier, where a refreshing breeze swept over him.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey..." Shen Youqing spat out a few mouthfuls of cold lake water, then took two deep breaths of fresh air.

The snake tail wrapped around Shen Youqing's waist was quite gentle. It placed Shen Youqing on its body and gently poked her head with the tip of its tail.

Shen Youqing tilted his head and saw a thick, black snake coiled in front of a stone gate. Its profound cultivation made it look very dangerous.

Seeing that the large black snake was not aggressive for the time being, Shen Youqing slid down the hard, cold scales, stood on the ground, and took out a dust-removing talisman and threw it on his body.

Shen Youqing, who looked like a drowned rat, was instantly dried off. Her dirty white dress was also washed clean. Apart from her hair being a little messy, she looked much more refreshed.

Seeing the large black snake staring intently at her, Shen Youqing pointed to the stone door and tentatively asked, "Is this to let me in?"

The large black snake nodded.

Shen Youqing first looked around at the surrounding environment.

The light at the bottom of the lake was very dim; nothing could be seen beyond three zhang (approximately 10 meters). The large black snake that was with her was almost blending into the darkness.

After finishing his observation, Shen Youqing walked up, patted the stone door, and then pulled out a long sword and swung it.

The sword energy left no trace on the stone gate.

"How am I supposed to get in here?" Shen Youqing turned to look at the large black snake behind him, his face clearly showing that he was serious.

Since brute force can't break it, this door must be opened by a mechanism, but this mechanism... sigh... just ask around!
"..." The big black snake seemed not to have expected Shen Youqing to draw his sword and slash directly. It was speechless for a moment, then pointed its tail at the groove next to the door.

Shen Youqing sheathed his longsword, moved closer, and then examined the groove closely.

See, they succeeded by using the back door!

only……

Looking at the circular groove, Shen Youqing tentatively clenched his fist and put it in.

"..." The big black snake really wanted to ask its deceased master if she really hadn't chosen the wrong person.
The snake's tail flicked over, gently opening Shen Youqing's hand, and then pointed her in a direction.

Shen Youqing looked in the direction the snake's tail was pointing.

Only after walking over did Shen Youqing see the black stone that blended into its surroundings.

No way, who the hell could see this?!

Shen Youqing reached out and touched it, then picked up the spherical stone and placed it in the groove.

"Boom——"

A dull thud sounded as the mechanism was activated, and the stone door began to slowly move to the sides.

Once the stone door opened, it revealed a tomb.

The candlelight flickered on both sides, and a crystal coffin sat in the very center.

Shen Youqing knelt down on the spot, kowtowed three times, and said earnestly and respectfully, "Shen Youqing, a disciple of the Hehuan Clan, pays respects to Ancestor Bufeng."

"Get up."

A majestic voice sounded.

When the black snake heard that familiar voice again, its eyes revealed deep longing and sorrow.

Owner……

It's been such a long, long time since I've heard my owner's voice.
