I courted death and then tried to escape, so the whole sect wants to get rid of me.

An elder nearby sneered, "Aren't you here too? What right do you have to criticize others!"

The Ninth Elder showed no remorse: "I followed the Second Elder here!"

"This child just had a broken mirror, let me see what happened!"

The Second Elder coughed twice loudly. "Furthermore, after seeing her today, I truly believe she possesses exceptional talent and is well-suited to learning swordsmanship. What if her previous refusal was simply because she looked down on Ninth Brother's swordsmanship? My swordsmanship is superior to Ninth Brother's!"

The Ninth Elder immediately glared at him angrily: "You're talking nonsense! You're just a little older than me! Come on, let's have a contest! It's not certain who will win!"

"Do you guys want to copy Song Yao and blow up the Pill Pavilion?!"

The twelfth elder pushed through the crowd and stepped out. "You're all so noisy! This child has a wood elemental root; he's got the makings of spiritual cultivation. Can't you simple-minded, muscle-bound sword cultivators stay somewhere else?"

"What did you say? You're the one who's all brawn and no brains! Our Nine Saints Hall is full of sword cultivators!!"

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

The eleventh elder gently interjected, "Why not learn talisman cultivation from me? She has exceptional talent and will surely learn talisman techniques quickly; she's a promising talent."

"Let's go, let's go, Fu Xiu should go even further."

The Seventh Elder arrived late and saw that the dried medicine under the corridor had been overturned by this group of people. He was immediately enraged, and his beard and hair stood on end.

Without a word, he ran back to the Pill Pavilion, hoisted a bronze furnace weighing hundreds of pounds, and charged out, smashing it at the elders: "The child has already said he won't learn, he won't learn! If you try to steal my disciple again, I'll lose my temper!"

Song Yao stood under the corridor, looking at He Yu in shock: "Master, Master, he he he..."

"You don't know this yet, but your master is a bit like you. He cultivates the Holy Body through physical cultivation, but he insists on cultivating the Pill. This is nothing to him."

Wow, that's amazing.

No wonder the Seventh Elder was unharmed even though he was trapped underneath when the Pill Pavilion was accidentally blown up.

The elders hurriedly retreated and stammered, "Seventh Brother, why are you in such a hurry? We're just letting that child learn another skill from us. It's not like we're stopping her from becoming your apprentice."

"Exactly, it's such a waste to have such great talent."

"Never mind, we'll come again next time, next time..."

After a commotion, they finally dispersed.

The Seventh Elder dusted off his sleeves and, seeing Song Yao and He Yu emerge from behind the stone pillar, his expression softened immediately: "Were you frightened?"

Song Yao shook her head: "No."

The Seventh Elder looked at her and sighed, "I never expected that you would survive the tribulation without a word and enter the Golden Core stage on your own."

The tribulation during the Golden Core stage is actually quite risky; a single misstep could leave one crippled or even endanger their life.

Generally speaking, if a disciple of the Nine Saints Hall is about to break through to a higher realm, they will prepare in advance and find a few reliable people to protect them, so as to minimize the danger.

The child showed absolutely no warning.

Besides, wasn't she just at the Foundation Establishment stage...?

With such a terrifying speed at which she breaks through the barrier, it's no wonder that group of old fogies are going crazy for her.

Even he felt that it would be a waste not to cultivate properly.

However, this child is in poor health, so breaking through to a higher realm so quickly may not be a good thing.

An excess of spiritual energy can lead to a double burden on both the body and soul, as one cannot tolerate excessive nourishment.

Song Yao followed behind him humbly and said, "It's not that I'm amazing, it's just that the spiritual spring was too full of spiritual energy. Plus, Jiang Jin broke through his cultivation level, and I accidentally broke through as well."

Seventh Elder: "..."

He Yu: "..."

That's easy for you to say.

If it were that easy to break, that area would have become a vegetable market long ago.

The Seventh Elder thought for a moment and then said, "In any case, they have a point. With your talent, you can learn anything quickly. If you want to cultivate something else in the future, just go for it. Don't worry about my feelings."

Song Yao: "Then I want to be a medical cultivator."

I've heard that medical repair is quite lucrative.

If alchemy and medicine cultivation don't work, let's try this path.

Seventh Elder: "..."

This child.

Why do you keep looking for things that are easy to sleep in?

Seeing Song Yao's expectant expression, he relented and said, "I'll talk to Elder Sixteen later. While he's still in the sect, you can go and learn from him."

"Thank you, Master!"

-

The Sixteenth Elder was very satisfied after receiving the commission.

Wood spirit roots encompass all things and govern life, making them most suitable for cultivating the path of medicine.

In addition, this child has broken through to the Golden Core stage at a young age, has high comprehension, and is well-educated, so he will surely achieve extraordinary things in the future.

He already had countless students, and to have another highly talented student as his last disciple would be the perfect ending to his life.

He made a point of setting aside time to have the academy of the Healing Pavilion cleaned up, preparing to give the new disciples a proper lesson so he could show off to the elders.

His dream was shattered the moment he finished explaining the medical book and turned to see Song Yao soundly asleep.

hiss--

The child was missing a soul, so he specially cast a calming spell on her before giving the lecture.

Why is it completely useless?

No.

His reputation as a healer is well-known, and he can't let it be ruined by a mere disciple.

He struggled to wake Song Yao.

The little girl looked at him with her misty eyes and praised, "Sixteenth Elder, your lectures are even more relaxing than my master's."

Sixteenth Elder: "...Thank you, but you can stand and listen. You can't fall asleep while standing."

Half an incense stick later.

"Bang!"

The sound of him falling to the ground shattered the Sixteenth Elder's last hope.

Song Yao rubbed the back of her head and got up, showing great determination: "It doesn't hurt at all! Where were we?"

Sixteenth Elder: "...Let's heal our wounds first. If you go back like this, Seventh Elder might kill me later."

Song Yao: "Are you trying to kick me out?"

The Sixteenth Elder was unusually silent for a moment, then said earnestly, "Good child, don't you think sword cultivation and spiritual cultivation also have a promising future? If all else fails, how about body cultivation?"

"No, I have to become a medical cultivator."

Song Yao looked at him expectantly, "I want to help people and save lives like you and my senior brother."

When the eldest brother was mentioned, the Sixteenth Elder grasped at a straw: "It's not that I don't want to teach you, but I have to go on a long trip in a couple of days to treat people's injuries and illnesses. Why don't we wait for your eldest brother to return and let him teach you? He is the deputy head of the Healing Pavilion, and he knows just as much as I do."

Song Yao pursed her lips, seemingly casually asking, "Then...when will Senior Brother be back?"

"Hmm, I didn't know that."

The Sixteenth Elder frowned, a hint of solemnity appearing on his face. "Since half a year ago... this child seems to have become a different person. He originally said he would travel with me, but he didn't go. Instead, he ran off to the Earth Realm like a madman."

Song Yao was taken aback: "Earth Realm?"

"Yes, there's still no news of him, and we don't know what happened to him. But the ever-burning lamp is still on, so he should be alright. After all, he's been to many places before. Once the sect leader comes out of seclusion, he'll probably send someone to look for him..."

As the Sixteenth Elder was speaking, he suddenly noticed the blood slowly trickling down the neck of the person in front of him. His eyes widened instantly. "Wait, wait, wait! There's blood! Forget everything else! Heal the wound! Heal the wound first!!"
