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

Chapter 84 Convergence
Under the admiring gazes of a group of sword cultivators, Shen Youqing raised his hand and bowed deeply towards the stone, saying, "On behalf of all future cultivators, I thank Ancestor Bufeng for his generous gift."

The ancestors did not answer, but a gentle spiritual energy brushed across their faces.

"Go."

As soon as he finished speaking, the group and the large rock quickly retreated into the distant woods.

Their figures blurred as they passed through a barrier and stepped directly from the main hall into the deep forest outside.

The sudden appearance of a group of people in the water mirror immediately alerted the elders.

They had suddenly disappeared for eight or nine days, and now we finally saw them again.

The sounds of insects chirping, birds singing, and the wind coming from afar made the group of people feel somewhat dazed.

"They're out already?" Ji Fuchuan held his sword in one hand and scratched his head blankly with the other.

"It's mainly this," Shen Xingzhi said, looking at the large rock in front of her with a complicated expression.

This is an inheritance from our ancestors, and it just came out like this?

"Generally speaking, isn't swordsmanship something that's only passed down to one person?" Ji Fuchuan stared blankly at the large rock. "Is Ancestor Bufeng planning to spread it widely?"

What a generous senior!

“This sword technique is merely a collection of our ancestors and cannot be considered a proper inheritance.” Shen Youqing walked up, patted the stone, and then put it away.

!

"This can be stored away?" Shen Xingzhi's eyes widened. She quickly moved closer to Shen Youqing and exclaimed in surprise, "Let me try."

Shen Youqing obediently moved the large rock out.

With a thought from Shen Xingzhi, the large rock remained unmoved.

After a few tries, Shen Xingzhi pulled Ming Jixue and Ji Fuchuan up to give it a go.

Seeing that all of them had failed, Xie Changyan pondered and said, "It must be that Ancestor Bufeng only allowed Shen Youqing to take this stone out."

Normally, such excellent swordsmanship would only be taught to one person, but unfortunately, the ancestors chose them.

Moreover, this stone should not be allowed to be taken out, but the current situation is clearly beyond the comprehension of common sense.

Shen Youqing put the stone away again, then slightly raised his chin, "After we get out, you can study for as long as you want!"

Xie Changyan raised his hand and bowed to Shen Youqing, "Thank you."

For them, it is difficult to learn a complete set of sword techniques in a limited time, and their understanding of them will not be very deep.

Now that they take the stones out, they have plenty of time to study and contemplate them.

We have to thank Shen Youqing for this!

Shen Youqing waved his hand.

The elders outside the water mirror stared at the large rock, dumbfounded.

"If I'm not seeing things... are there a lot of sword techniques carved on that stone?"

"Yes, that's right, they said they could bring the stone out."

……

Within the secret realm.

Shen Xingzhi and Shen Quelin exchanged glances, and then...

Before Ming Jixue could react, several longswords gleaming with a cold light were already at her neck.

"Senior Sister?" Ming Jixue looked at Shen Xingzhi in confusion.

Ming Jixue, who was fighting side by side just a quarter of an hour ago, had no time to react.

Shen Xingzhi smiled kindly, "If you voluntarily hand over your token and storage bag, you can avoid a beating!"

"..." Ming Jixue looked at the group with a mixture of anger and resentment, and said somewhat indignantly, "Shouldn't we have dealt with Junior Sister Shen first? Why did you target me first?"

"Are you crazy? Am I crazy?" Shen Xingzhi looked at Ming Jixue as if she were an idiot. "That's my sister. Others may not understand her, but do you think I don't?"

Ji Fuchuan had already reached for the storage bag and token on Ming Jixue's waist.

The blatant act of robbery provoked Ming Jixue to curse, "Senior brother, you wait, wait until you come out..." "Wait, wait." Ji Fuchuan handed the storage bag to Shen Xingzhi, and then crushed the token.

Ming Jixue's face turned ashen as she was forced to teleport out.

After putting away her storage bag, Shen Xingzhi was somewhat troubled. "Chu Jianyan is nowhere to be found, Xiao Ke is not here either, and Gu Xingluan is not here either."

Shen Youqing looked around and then said, "Jiang Xuan'an and Second Senior Sister have disappeared."

“I ran into them before at the lush green meadow, but I don’t know what happened to them after that,” Shen Quelin shrugged.

They've all come out, so the others should be out too, but I don't know where they are.

"The five of us..." Shen Xingzhi couldn't help but sigh, "Let's look for the spiritual plants and the people at the same time."

Shen Youqing pulled up a drowsy camellia tree and shook it awake, saying, "Time to get to work."

The camellia tree, having eaten and drunk its fill, raised a branch, pointed in one direction, and then drooped down again.

Shen Youqing looked at it, then stuffed the camellia into the cloth bag.

Two quarters of an hour later.

The group encountered Chu Jianyan and Gu Xingluan at the place where spiritual plants were kept.

The two of them had already started fighting with the spirit beast next to the spirit plant.

Shen Quelin drew his sword and went forward.

After Chu Jianyan returned, she looked at the group of people who seemed to be in good spirits and asked, "Are you alright?"

Seeing that Xie Changyan and Ji Fuchuan had already gone over, Shen Xingzhi didn't follow. She said, "We're all fine, are you alright?"

"After I entered through the Water Mirror Gate, I arrived at a grotto. I stayed inside for a while before being teleported out," Chu Jianyan said.

Looking at the group of people who were all safe and sound, Gu Xingluan asked with some concern, "How did you all disappear all of a sudden on that lush green grass?"

"I went to a place," Shen Xingzhi said, then recounted the previous events and the sword technique.

Knowing that they had received a gift from their ancestor, Chu Jianyan and Gu Xingluan were happy for them.

When Lin Jinyao came over with her sword and saw that they were her own people, she immediately relaxed. "They're all on our side."

"What happened?" Shen Xingzhi asked. "Where did you and Jiang Xuan'an go?"

"You were swept away, I went to another cave, and then I came out." Lin Jinyao sheathed her longsword, walked up to Shen Youqing, pulled her over to look at her, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine." Shen Youqing smiled, her eyes crinkling, her gentle smile sweet and obedient.

"Right now, isn't it just Jiang Xuan'an and Xiao Ke who are missing?" Gu Xingluan asked.

Lin Jinyao glanced at the three people gathering spiritual plants over there, and then said with some concern, "I'm more worried about Jiang Xuan'an."

Shen Youqing asked curiously, "Why not Fifth Senior Brother?"

Between sword cultivators and alchemists, alchemists seem to be the easier ones to be eliminated, right?

Lin Jinyao patted Shen Youqing on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Guess where Lin Youran got those strange pills?"

Shen Youqing blinked.

"Well, how should I put it? Fifth Junior Brother can take down a whole group of people without anyone noticing." Lin Jinyao looked at Shen Youqing's surprised expression and said, "Your Fifth Senior Brother is ruthless..."

"Second Senior Sister." Xiao Ke's clear and melodious voice drifted over.

Lin Jinyao immediately shut up and gave Shen Youqing a knowing look.

Shen Youqing's eyes curved into a smile.

Xiao Ke walked up and went straight to Shen Youqing, handing her a string of storage bags.

Under Shen Youqing's shocked gaze, Xiao Keqing's clear and deep voice spoke slowly and deliberately, "We encountered a group of people earlier, but they have already left. This is their storage bag."

Lin Jinyao looked away, as if she was too ashamed to look at him.

This act of voluntarily handing over the goods is simply... I always feel that Fifth Junior Brother will be beaten to death by Young Master Shen sooner or later.

Even the slow-witted Chu Jianyan and Gu Xingluan could sense something was amiss, given how blatant Xiao Ke's actions were.
