After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

For others, having to start over after their cultivation techniques have been completely exhausted might be extremely bad.

But for Luo Zhenhuan, this might not be a bad thing. She is a perfect piece of jade, and now she has the opportunity to be sculpted to perfection.

Luo really put in 100% effort just for a bite to eat.

She was thrilled when her punch momentarily halted the flow of the waterfall, which resumed two breaths later!

"I did it!!"

Luo Zhen emerged from the water like a rabbit, his little legs thumping as he climbed onto the rocks and began to eat.

Yun Yao's lips curled up slightly. He made a hand seal without making a sound, and a gentle breeze carrying warm air appeared to dry the child's clothes.

Luo Zhenhuan paused in his eating.

She raised her head, her cheeks puffed out, and said, "Master, Zhenzhen isn't afraid! Zhenzhen won't get sick even if she's all wet! We shouldn't waste spiritual energy; we need to conserve it, otherwise we won't have enough when we fight!"

After saying that, she wiped her mouth and proudly patted her little chest.

She's very good at conserving her spiritual energy!

Upon hearing this, Yun Yao was stunned.

The thought of Luo Zhen made him seem like a pitiful little thing no one wanted, tattered and alone in the Demon Cave, his clothes soaked by the sun and rain and he dared not dry them because he was afraid that he would not have enough spiritual power when the demons attacked.

Meanwhile, Hengyangzi and his six disciples were pampering a fake in the sect, which made Yun Yao's smile fade and a pang of heartache rise in her heart.

His dark blue eyes were fixed on Luo Huanzhen as he said, word by word, "No, Master wants to do that."

Luo Zhenhuan looked helpless and sighed, "Alright."

However, the corners of her mouth seemed unable to be suppressed, and a small arc appeared.

Luo Zhenhuan is very serious about eating; he even picks up and eats every crumb that falls on the ground.

Children who have experienced hardship will not waste a single grain of food.

Once the clothes were dry, Yun Yao put away her magic spell and looked at Luo Huanzhen, suddenly saying, "Are you about to break through?"

Luo Huanzhen nodded his little head upon hearing this, "Mm."

This is how she broke through.

You don't need to cultivate much; your cultivation level will improve on its own.

Yun Yao pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Zhenzhen, try to suppress your cultivation level for a while, and then break through in two months."

Luo Huanzhen looked completely bewildered: "How do I suppress it?"

Yun Yao said, "Sit down properly, Master will teach you, like this..."

The more solid a cultivator's foundation, the further they can go in the future.

Luo Zhenhuan is destined to become an immortal.

But Yun Yao hoped that she could go further and further. With such talent, she should stand at the highest peak at the end of the immortal path.

With Yun Yao's guidance, Luo Zhenhuan indeed never came to the academy again.

Although she was not at the academy, her legend circulated everywhere there.

Especially after Elder Qin informed the academy disciples ten days later that the "General History of Demon Trapping" contained errors and needed to be corrected, and all related courses were suspended for half a month, Luo Huanzhen's name appeared more frequently in the academy.

"My God... I can't believe she was telling the truth when she said 'I know it all'."

"A genius is a genius, terrifyingly so!"

"I'm tired of saying 'I admire you'... I've always thought Junior Sister Su was quite intelligent, but compared to her..."

Before the words were finished, everyone understood the meaning: Junior Sister Luo fell into the Ten Thousand Demon Cave too early, and they were unable to witness the brilliance of a child prodigy. Now, comparing the real and the fake, Junior Sister Su was indeed far inferior.

Hearing these words, Su Mingyue's eyes reddened, her fingernails dug into her palms, and her resentment almost overflowed.

It's that time of the month again to go see Elder Danhong for a medicinal bath to nourish my body.

Third Senior Brother Zhao Qing was also there. He majored in alchemy and would occasionally study with Elder Dan Hong when he wasn't away from home.

Elder Danhong began preparing the medicinal bath.

Su Mingyue walked to Zhao Qing's side and called to him obediently.

"Third Senior Brother."

Zhao Qing reached out and patted her head. "Mingyue is here."

Su Mingyue smiled and asked for credit: "Third Senior Brother, Mingyue has performed very well at the academy these days, and has received praise from the teaching elders for all her subjects."

Looking at Su Mingyue's gentle smile, Zhao Qing couldn't help but think of Luo Huanzhen, and he felt a little sad.

He recognized her at a glance—it was Zhenzhen, the hot-tempered, wild, and rebellious junior sister Zhenzhen.

He misses her very much.

But people's hearts are always biased.

The same applies to Zhao Qing.

The moon is not at fault, and besides, it has been with them for a full ten years...

Putting aside his guilt, Zhao Qing bent down and patted Su Mingyue's head, saying affectionately, "Mingyue is so great. What reward would you like, Mingyue?"

Su Mingyue pleaded, "I want my senior brother to give me some pills. I want one bottle of Enhancing Yuan and Breaking Through Realm Pills, one bottle of Foundation Strengthening and Yuan Condensation Pills, two Healing Pills, and two Disinfecting Pills. Senior brother, can you refine them for me?"

She's about to break through.

The Breakthrough Pill is used before a breakthrough, the Foundation Strengthening Pill is used after a breakthrough, and the two bottles of Healing Pill and Disinfecting Pill are prepared for use in the secret realm.

Zhao Qing indulged him, saying, "Alright."

Su Mingyue threw herself into Zhao Qing's arms, hugged his neck, and said gratefully, "Third Senior Brother is the best."

Su Mingyue enjoyed physical contact with her senior brothers. Especially after learning about romantic love, she often deliberately made intimate gestures.

Her senior brothers each had their own unique features—the eldest was gentle and refined, the second was tall and strong, the third was soft-hearted and scholarly, the fourth was aloof and solemn, and the fifth was dignified and abstinent.

But they all doted on her and loved her.

Su Mingyue had long regarded them as her private property, which is why she was so disgusted and resistant to Luo Huanzhen's return.

She wouldn't allow them to share even a fraction of the affection that should have been hers with others.

Thinking of this, Su Mingyue leaned on Zhao Qing and said many things in a wronged tone, such as how she was not good enough and how she could not compare to Luo Huanzhen no matter how hard she tried.

Zhao Qing held her in his arms tenderly and coaxed her for a long time before she finally stopped crying and started smiling.

Ten days later, Zhao Qing's elixir arrived.

Su Mingyue worked hard, taking pills and cultivating, and finally broke through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm the day before she was to set off for the secret realm.

On this day, the weather was fine, and auspicious purple clouds appeared in the east, making it an auspicious day to set off.

All the low-level cultivators from the Xuantian Sect who were going to participate in the secret realm gathered at the sect gate.

A huge spirit ship, 300 meters long, was moored beside the stone steps.

The disciples lined up one by one to board the boat.

Just then, a huge figure entered the queue, and on his shoulder sat a young girl dressed in an elegant white dress, wearing glass shoes, and with exquisite makeup.

"It's Senior Brother Lei and Junior Sister Su."

"My goodness, Junior Sister Su looks so beautiful today... like a fairy who has fallen to earth."

"My second senior brother spoils me so much! What an amazing sibling relationship! I'm so envious!"

Everyone's eyes were filled with envy and longing.

Su Mingyue's lips involuntarily curled up slightly. She had dressed up specially for this moment.

Before I could even suppress my joy, another commotion arose from the crowd in the distance.

Following the sound, a tall, slender figure appeared in everyone's sight, leading a small figure—
