Even Baili Muchen and the others felt their hearts move, Feng Xi's performance had been far too unexpected. Perhaps it really was related to the Ziqiao Linglong Fruit.
Someone immediately approached Xiao Baidao asking to purchase Ziqiao Linglong Fruits. Xiao Baidao followed the lines Feng Xi had prepared for him in advance and said, "I'm truly sorry, our Xuantian Sect has not yet decided whether this batch of Ziqiao Linglong Fruits will be sold. Once we have a firm decision, we will make an announcement."
After he said that, the crowd became even more suspicious. Many began playing the emotional card, earnestly begging Xiao Baidao to reserve a slot for them if sales opened.
Xiao Baidao didn't promise anything, he only vaguely responded.
He thought this was almost exactly what his little disciple predicted. His little disciple was really a money-grabbing little rake!
Feng Xi thought the effect was enough, and finally began the journey home.
She first dozed on the back of the Golden Maned Suanni, and when she woke, she sighed and said to it, "Little Goldie, this time I only beat Lu Xiuhan half to death, took some of his good stuff, helped our Xuantian Sect get first place, and accidentally enlightened a little. Seems like I didn't gain much at all!
I really feel ashamed of my performance, I'm simply too useless!"
Golden Maned Suanni: Will you die if you stop pretending?!
After humble bragging for a while, Feng Xi asked, "I heard Shen Zhilan picked up an immortal beast egg. You didn't develop any improper thoughts, right?"
The Golden Maned Suanni let out a guilty, panicked roar.
Feng Xi said doubtfully, "what I meant was that I'm worried you might want to steal and eat the egg. Why are you reacting so strongly?
You wouldn't have some dirty thoughts toward an egg, right?
If that's the case, then you're really something else!"
Golden Maned Suanni: "..."
If not for remembering the cultivation method she promised him, it would've slapped her to death right now!
After lecturing the Golden Maned Suanni, Feng Xi began reviewing this Tianhen Secret Realm trial.
She wasn't very satisfied with herself.
Because all her gains this time were obtained through intelligence, she didn't display her combat power.
Still too weak!
After returning, she had to train harder. Next time, she wanted to dominate without using her brain!
So, she sat down to cultivate.
Then froze.
The three spiritual roots in her dantian were over twice as thick as before, and even her meridians had widened significantly.
Was it because of the high-grade spiritual herbs she ate?
There is indeed no such thing as a wasted meal!
If it doesn't turn into fat, it turns into power.
Excited, she told the Golden Maned Suanni to speed up. She pulled ahead of Xuantian Sect disciples and reached an empty place.
She jumped off and began performing Fire Incantation.
One blossom, two blossoms, three blossoms…
In the blink of an eye, several little flames fell onto the ground.
The Golden Maned Suanni's eyes almost popped out!
Instant Recast!
She could actually perform Instant Recast!
Wasn't this a technique only available to Golden Core Stage cultivators?!
But Feng Xi didn't know anything about Instant Recast. She simply thought that throwing more spells faster was better in battle!
You can dodge one or two, but can you dodge a hundred?
So while forming seals, she split her divine sense and formed several sets of hand seals simultaneously.
Unexpectedly, it worked on the first try.
Then she tried Binding Seal. Several strands of small spiritual vines shot from her fingertips, entwining around the earlier flames, extinguishing them.
While Feng Xi was happily playing around, the Golden Maned Suanni stared dumbfounded, mouth hanging open.
Not only could she perform Instant Recast, she could precisely control every spell. Even Golden Core Stage cultivators might not have such precision!
Of course, the spiritual force she released was weak, not comparable to Golden Core attacks.
But she could definitely cross realms to kill early Foundation Establishment cultivators!
She might even be able to fight mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Too outrageous!
Now the Golden Maned Suanni fully believed Feng Xi's earlier claims.
She must have a technique that could save it from its regression!
She was its savior!
So when Feng Xi finished, she saw the Golden Maned Suanni shaking its head, wagging its tail, even trying to rub its big head against her.
Feng Xi: "Get lost! Do you think you're a dog?!"
She didn't originally think she was that amazing, but after seeing the Golden Maned Suanni's reaction, she had some idea.
Inside, she felt a little smug, I really am just an ordinary little genius!
A while later, Xiao Baidao and the others caught up.
Before Xiao Baidao could speak, Feng Xi said, "Master, this Golden Maned Suanni is too unreliable. Just now it suddenly went crazy and started running like mad!
I tried to calm it down but couldn't. Once we return to the sect, we need to properly discipline it!"
Golden Maned Suanni: You still called me a dog? YOU are the real dog! Dog among dogs!
Xiao Baidao didn't doubt her words. After all, the Golden Maned Suanni's reputation was indeed terrible.
On the way back, Feng Xi cultivated almost the entire time, only sleeping two hours when she was too exhausted.
Even the Golden Maned Suanni had to admit, although Feng Xi was a bit wicked, she was indeed very hardworking.
If it trained this hard, maybe its cultivation wouldn't regress so quickly?
After returning, it would train seriously too!
That morning, they arrived at Xuantian Sect.
Outside the mountain gate, everyone dismounted from their flying swords.
Feng Xi felt like she needed to demonstrate her improved movement techniques. After all, she's no longer the same as before.
So she posed in what she thought was a very immortal-like posture and leapt off the Golden Maned Suanni's back.
And then…she landed face-first.
A full body prostration.
A perfect 360-degree grand kowtow.
Seeing this, Xiao Baidao and the others sighed. Feng Xi was really respectful of the ancestral master. Not only did she kneel when leaving, she knelt again upon return.
A true model disciple of Xuantian Sect!
It's just that this child was a bit reckless. Couldn't she have waited for the Golden Maned Suanni to crouch before jumping?
Unable to maintain her facade, Feng Xi had no choice but to forcefully continue acting and declared, "Ancestor above, your disciple Feng Xi has not disgraced the sect. I led our disciples to obtain first place in the Tianhen Secret Realm trial!
Your disciple will continue working hard to become the light of Xuantian Sect, to glorify the Ancestor and honor our sect!"
Perhaps she sounded too impassioned, Xiao Baidao and the others also knelt to pray for the ancestor's blessing.
Feng Xi: "..."
If I told you right now that I just slipped, would you kill me?
