After transforming into a fairy, I, in my simulation, wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.

"Thump!"

A very dull thud followed.

The white figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, finally crashing straight into the rocks by the roadside. Instantly, rubble tumbled down, burying him halfway in, leaving him in a sorry state.

"Hiss~!"

A collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.

This newly appointed disciple was quite domineering; he actually attacked someone over a mere exchange of words that hardly constituted a verbal dispute.

In the crowd, Lin Bufan glanced at the cold-eyed girl not far away, silently retracting his half-taken step. He decided to just be a bystander and watch the show...

The Azure Phoenix landed lightly, its nearly three-meter-tall body slightly bowing its head, its pair of azure beast eyes looking down disdainfully at the figures in the ruins.

"Cough cough cough~"

Wang Li struggled to his feet from the ruins, his eyes bloodshot. He stared intently at the girl who remained calm, a sense of frustration welling up inside him. His once gentle demeanor was now completely gone.

How dare you act like this?

But looking at the ferocious and imposing beast in front of the girl, he ultimately did not dare to make a move rashly.

Wang Li and the Azure Phoenix-Winged Wind Bird were not far apart in cultivation level, with Wang Li at the late Foundation Establishment stage versus the peak Foundation Establishment stage. If the Azure Phoenix-Winged Wind Bird had not launched a sneak attack that injured him, it would have been uncertain who would have been stronger in a real fight.

Lin Qingyu frowned slightly and pursed her red lips, but did not speak.

As a righteous and aloof fairy, she should not be good with words at this time; silence speaks louder than words.

Only a witch like Hehuan could be so eloquent!

Sure enough, seeing your appearance, righteous people immediately stepped forward with a sense of justice.

A man, also dressed in the robes of a direct disciple, leaned against the side, his eyes mockingly surveying the disheveled Wang Li, his tone dismissive:

"Junior Brother Wang, it was clearly you who rashly blocked this junior sister's path and disturbed her pet beast. How can you turn around and blame her?"

The onlookers instinctively sided with the weaker party. Although the demon beast was ferocious, the slender junior sister behind it was all the more pitiful.

Wang Li always liked to show off his status as a direct disciple, so his reputation was naturally not very high.

"Indeed, Senior Brother Wang went a bit too far."

"How could we, as sword cultivators, bully a woman who hasn't even embarked on the path of cultivation?"

"I, Li Si, am ashamed to be associated with you!"

Seeing the increasingly negative reviews, Wang Li glanced around and found that hardly anyone was afraid. He could only grit his teeth, give Lin Qingyu a deep look, and then turn and flee in a sorry state.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

Lin Qingyu defeated Wang Li again in the second match.

Seeing that things had calmed down, Lin Qingyu nodded slightly to the few fellow disciples who had spoken up for her, then turned and left.

"Teacher, is her talent really that good? It actually attracted the sect to directly send her a peak Foundation Establishment stage demon beast."

Lin Bufan, standing in the crowd, watched the girl's departing figure with a complex expression.

"Hmm... He has already entered the second stage of swordsmanship, a natural-born swordsman."

"Hiss~"

Lin Bufan gasped, then paused for a moment, somewhat embarrassed, and asked;

"Teacher, what is the second stage of kendo?"

The old man with the ring: "..."

...

For the next six months, Lin Qingyu did not show her face in the sect again. After all, a cool and aloof fairy should maintain an air of mystery.

Inside the cave, Lin Qingyu sat cross-legged on a futon with her eyes closed, a palm-sized, seven-colored lotus floating in front of her.

It is the Seven Hearts Glazed Lamp, a secret treasure of the Seven Clouds Sect.

When a sword cultivator enters the second realm, "Sword Heart Clarity," they can make their sword intent move at will, greatly increasing its power.

The initial awakening of sword intent is a further breakthrough based on the former. It not only greatly enhances the control of sword intent, but also multiplies the power, and lays the foundation for the next stage, "Condensing Intent into a Line".

Over the past six months, with the help of the Seven Hearts Glazed Lamp, Lin Qingyu has completely stabilized her swordsmanship, but she is still struggling to make progress, as if looking at flowers through a fog, and she can't find any clues for the time being.

After a long while, Lin Qingyu slowly opened her eyes, a flash of white light appearing in them, but her aura was even calmer and more restrained than before.

"That's about it."

After she stood up, she flicked her sleeves and stored all the items in the cave into her system space. Then she turned around and walked straight out.

"Xiao Qing".

Lin Qingyu looked around but saw no trace of the Azure Phoenix, so she called out softly.

"Hey!"

A clear, melodious cry pierced the sky, followed by a howling wind, yet it did not disturb a single strand of Lin Qingyu's hair.

The next instant, a giant shadow landed steadily in front of her.

Seeing Lin Qingyu reach out her hand, the Azure Phoenix immediately lowered its head and carefully rubbed its hand against her palm.

"Xiaoqing, you've gotten quite plump."

Lin Qingyu chuckled and leaped onto the bird's back.

"Hey——!"

The Azure Phoenix Winged Wind Bird immediately cried out in protest.

"Let's go, let's go to Master's place first, then I'll take you for a stroll outside the sect."

"Hey!!!"

A high-pitched cry pierced the sky, and the Azure Phoenix-Winged Wind Bird flapped its wings, soaring upwards and disappearing into the clouds in an instant.

"You want to leave the sect? No way! You're only at the Spirit Guiding Realm now, even with the Azure Phoenix Winged Wind Bird accompanying you..."

"Buzz!"

The next moment, a solid spiritual pressure surged out from Lin Qingyu's body, causing Qingming Zhenren's expression to freeze, and he swallowed the rest of his sentence.

"You've broken through to the Qi Refining stage?"

Before Lin Qingyu could answer, Master Qingming stood up and paced back and forth, muttering incantations.

"This shouldn't be... How could someone with a medium-level three spiritual roots break through to the Spirit Induction Realm so quickly? Even with a special physique, when did a sword-wielding body ever accelerate cultivation?"

Lin Qingyu lowered her eyes and remained silent.

However, the value of the gold-level term "turn to dust" is still increasing.

Half a year ago, Master Qingming retested her spiritual root. At that time, Lin Qingyu only tried it briefly, but she did not expect that she could actually suppress her spiritual root and deceive the spirit testing tablet.

The fact that spiritual roots can be enhanced is truly astonishing in the cultivation world.

In this dog-eat-dog world, no matter how comfortable the environment, one must never let down one's guard against others, and everything can be temporarily attributed to some nonexistent constitution.

When Lin Qingyu decides to reveal her true colors and use her talent to gain benefits, it will be because she is certain that she has sufficient power to protect herself.

After a long pause, Master Qingming calmed himself down and asked again:

"Why must one leave the sect?"

"Master."

Lin Qingyu bowed respectfully, her expression aloof, but the corners of her eyes unconsciously reddened slightly.

"Before I came to the sect, I was kidnapped by a bully. I managed to escape and rushed to Yujian City, where my spiritual root was discovered, and I was accepted into the sect. However, I left in too much haste and did not visit my parents' graves to pay my respects and inform them. This is a knot in my heart, and I have no choice but to return."

Upon hearing this, Master Qingming moved his lips, his expression softening considerably, and after a moment he sighed.

"Very well, I shouldn't have stopped you in this matter."

After he finished speaking, a delicate and exquisite sword talisman landed in front of Lin Qingyu.

"Crush it immediately if you encounter danger. Go."

"Thank you, Master!"

Lin Qingyu gripped the sword talisman tightly, bowed deeply once more, and prepared to leave.

"etc!"

Master Qingming seemed a little uneasy, so he kept her around for a long time, explaining many common sense things that cultivators should know when they go out.

Lin Qingyu wasn't impatient; she just listened quietly, slightly taken aback. Since arriving in this world, she hadn't experienced this kind of rambling for a long time.

Several hours later, a green figure sped out from the Tianxuan Sword Sect and disappeared into the vast and boundless forest outside the mountain gate.

...

"Um?"

Three days later, Lin Qingyu, who was sitting cross-legged on the back of the Azure Phoenix, suddenly opened his eyes and his gaze fell directly on a mountain peak in the distance.

"Since you're here, why hide?"

How did you find me?

A familiar figure flew out from between the mountain peaks, looking at the girl in front of him with surprise and uncertainty.

"Young Clan Leader, is this Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator the Sword Sect's direct disciple you mentioned?"

Behind him, a gaunt old man slowly flew to Wang Li's side.

Lin Qingyu narrowed her long, narrow eyes slightly. She recognized the old man; he was the Foundation Establishment cultivator who had helped Wang Hao deal with the young master of the Liang family back in Yunque City.

Early stage of foundation building...

Her eyes brightened slightly, and a fighting spirit quietly rose in her heart. This was the first time she had faced a true Foundation Establishment cultivator head-on!

"Lin Qingyu, surrender now, and I will grant you the position of the Wang family patriarch's principal wife. What do you say?"

Seeing that the girl was completely ignoring him, Wang Li suppressed his anger and spoke in a gentle tone.

He genuinely liked her; otherwise, he wouldn't have given her a chance to "turn back" after suffering such humiliation.

"Xiaoqing, hold him off."

Lin Qingyu ignored Wang Li's words; this man was clearly already courting death.

After giving the order, her figure slowly disappeared from the original spot, leaving several afterimages in mid-air before arriving at a position less than ten feet away from the gaunt old man.

The attack began with several blazing fireballs crashing down; before the flames subsided, a clear, resonant sword cry tore through the sky, and in an instant, killing intent soared to the heavens...

...
