Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

Ling Tian's handsome brows furrowed, and after a moment of silence, he was the first to object.

"Nonsense! Senior brothers and sisters will figure out a way to get spirit stones. How can we use the sect's minor competition to earn spirit stones? I don't agree to it."

Yuanbao nodded in agreement with Lingtian's opinion.

"Junior Sister, even if you have practical experience, the disciples you send to participate in the sect's minor competition won't be too bad. Besides, there are also disciples from other sects participating this year, so winning or losing isn't really important. Master was just saying that."

Wind chimes also expressed their opposition.

"Exactly, what does winning or losing matter? Even if you lose, your senior brothers and sisters will back you up. Let's see who dares to gossip. It's not that we don't believe you can win, but we feel we can't let you risk your life for spirit stones."

Mu Wan blinked her big eyes and reached out to pat Bai Xiaobai's little head.

"You're the junior sister of Xiaoyao Peak, protected by your senior brothers and sisters. You don't need to worry about earning spirit stones. Besides, those demon cores are worth quite a few spirit stones. You're already very capable."

Among the senior students, only Qin Yuan held a different opinion on this matter.

"I think Junior Sister's method is quite good. In previous years, during the sect's minor competitions, some disciples would bet on their favorite contestants, and even some elders would place a few bets. It's similar to what Junior Sister just said. Moreover, given Junior Sister's reputation in the Qingxiao Sect, everyone will definitely think she will lose."

"According to what Junior Sister just said, if she loses the match, they will receive double the amount of spirit stones they bet on. So these disciples will definitely bet on her to lose, and in order to get that doubled amount of spirit stones, they will definitely bet more. But if Junior Sister wins, then we will make a profit from all the spirit stones they bet on."

As soon as Qin Yuan finished speaking, he received several warning glances from all sides.

He wisely kept quiet.

But deep down I think this method is absolutely brilliant.

After listening to the opinions of his fellow disciples, Bai Xiaobai patted his chest confidently.

"If my junior sister can take down a second-tier ferocious beast, then a Foundation Establishment disciple shouldn't be any more difficult to deal with than a ferocious beast, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Tian and the others hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Bai Xiaobai continued.

"Third Senior Brother is right. With Junior Sister's reputation in the Qingxiao Sect and her Qi Refining Level 1 cultivation, they will definitely think I'm bound to lose. Moreover, there are also disciples from other sects, so the number of matches will definitely increase. In the near future, we should promote the idea that Junior Sister of Xiaoyao Peak is a useless Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator, making everyone think that I will definitely lose miserably in the matches. Then, in order to get double the spirit stones, they will definitely scramble to bet on me losing."

Seeing that Ling Tian and the others who had opposed him earlier were starting to relax, Bai Xiaobai continued to persuade them.

"Besides, we're not just doing this for spirit stones, senior brothers and sisters. If so many people believe I'll lose badly, I'll fight with all my might to prove myself. How can you say that isn't another kind of experience and motivation?"

After Bai Xiaobai's persuasion, Yuanbao and Mu Wan nodded in agreement.

"Junior Sister is absolutely right. Treating the competition as training is definitely a viable approach. Perhaps after a series of competitions, Junior Sister's cultivation level will improve."

Ling Tian and Feng Ling exchanged a glance. Although they still felt it was inappropriate, they reluctantly agreed.

"Alright, since Junior Sister wants to use the competition as an opportunity to hone herself, that's perfectly acceptable."

"Junior Sister, there's no rush when it comes to cultivation. We can take it slowly. You've only recently taken human form, so there's really no need to be too anxious. Since you believe that this sect competition will benefit your cultivation, we have no objections."

In this way, the matter of setting up betting during the sect competition has been temporarily settled.

Third Senior Brother Qin Yuan took the initiative to take on this task.

"Junior Sister, I guarantee that your Third Senior Brother will handle this matter perfectly for you. You can just focus on preparing for the competition."

Bai Xiaobai had complete confidence in Qin Yuan handling this matter.

However, there were some details she needed to explain regarding how to market her participation in the sect competition, given that she was a useless junior sister from Xiaoyao Peak with only the first level of Qi Refining.

While Bai Xiaobai was discussing how to make a fortune in the upcoming sect competition, Shen Ji was alone bearing the wrath of Sect Master Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan never expected that in the past few months, while he was busy inviting other sects to participate in this year's sect competition,

Bai Xiaobai gave him a shock no less than when she formed a soul contract with the God-Slayer Tianzai.

"Back then, I personally led a group of elders to capture ferocious beasts in order to create the 'Ferocious Beast Secret Realm.' My goal was to help the disciples and elders at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage break through to the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible. And now she's just ruined it all for me?"

Li Qingshan's expression could no longer be described as one of deep sorrow.

He was dumbfounded when he saw the sparsely populated "Secret Realm of Ferocious Beasts" with only a few old, weak, sick, and disabled creatures.

Shen Ji never expected that his little disciple would cause such trouble, almost wiping out all the ferocious beasts in the entire secret realm.

Seeing Li Qingshan's miserable state, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't, he had no choice but to offer some words of comfort.

"Anyway, they are all ferocious beasts that have harmed countless mortals, so Xiaobai has avenged them."

He had barely finished speaking when he heard Li Qingshan roar through gritted teeth.

"You make it sound so easy for you. What do you mean by revenge? This is a training ground I prepared so that the sect could have more Nascent Soul experts. You think she can just cause trouble like that? Shen Ji, I felt something was wrong when you set up the barrier. Tell me, did you deliberately send her to this training ground? I was wondering how a useless person who couldn't even gather spiritual energy could have reached the Transformation Realm and the first level of Qi Refining in less than half a year after arriving at your Xiaoyao Peak."

Faced with Li Qingshan's anger, Shen Ji moved a little further away from him.

Her face still wore a warm and welcoming smile.

"How could the sect leader wrong someone? This is all Xiaobai's good fortune, and it has nothing to do with me. Besides, Xiaobai is, after all, a princess of the spirit realm. It was you who promised the Spirit Lord and his wife that she would come to Qingxiao Sect to cultivate. Now, not only has she successfully transformed into human form, but she has also finally reached the first level of Qi Refining. I think the Spirit Lord and his wife will be extremely grateful to our Qingxiao Sect."

Li Qingshan was so angry he laughed.

"Bullshit! What opportunity? Wasn't it all orchestrated by you, Shen Ji? And the Spirit Gathering Stone? I promised her she would come to Lingxiao Peak to cultivate every seven days. And what did you do? You actually sent Ling Tian to steal it! He's the next sect leader I'm grooming, and you're making him do such petty things."

"How can you call it stealing? What do you mean by petty theft? It's just borrowing. I'll return it to you in perfect condition later. And what are you doing coveting my disciple? I never agreed to let Ling Tian take your place."

Seeing Shen Ji's nonchalant demeanor, Li Qingshan felt a sense of powerlessness, as if he had punched cotton.
