Feng Xi was only saying it casually. If she really burned off the rest of Elder Duanmu's beard, the old man would probably go insane!
Her eyes rolled, and she suddenly had an idea.
She ran all the way to see Xiao Baidao.
Xiao Baidao was currently overwhelmed. The matter of someone drawing a string of little turtle bastards on Wan Jian Wall had practically spread throughout the Northern Region's cultivation world, it's utterly humiliating!
What made him even more troubled was that the other party had managed to draw little turtle bastards on the Wan Jian Wall without anyone noticing. If he wanted to do something else inside Xuantian Sect, wouldn't it be just as effortless?
But no matter how they investigated, there were no clues.
However, upon seeing Feng Xi walk in, he still asked with concern:
"You didn't get hurt in the auxiliary cave inside Wan Jian Cave, right? This child, you're too mischievous, how did you end up burning Elder Duanmu's beard?
It must've been Little Five egging you on, wasn't it?"
Jun Wen: "..."
I was already thrown into Wan Jian Cave by then. How did this black pot still get put on me?
Master is way too biased!
Little did he know, Xiao Baidao's criticism was born out of love.
Jun Wen's talent was the highest among his disciples, but because he was perpetually unserious, his cultivation always hovered around mediocrity.
Feng Xi quickly cleared Jun Wen's name, then said, "Master, I know what you're troubled about, it's the drawings on the Wan Jian Wall, right?
Leave this matter to me. I guarantee you, I'll get to the bottom of it."
Xiao Baidao actually agreed.
Partly because he's desperate, but also because every idea Feng Xi had provided since joining the sect had been very effective.
Thus, Feng Xi took the Sect Master's order token and swaggered straight into the auxiliary cave… to destroy the evidence.
Jun Wen: "..."
Respect! Respect with a capital R!
After erasing the little turtle bastards on the cave wall, Feng Xi asked Jun Wen to go out and gather information.
Sure enough, the little turtle bastards on the Wan Jian Wall had also disappeared.
Feng Xi blinked, then used her left hand to write eight big characters on the cave wall:
"Slay Demons, Protect the Dao; Xuanwu Bestows Blessing."
Jun Wen quickly returned with the news, "Little junior sister, only the four characters 'Xuanwu Bestows Blessing' appeared on the Wan Jian Wall. The four characters 'Slay Demons, Protect the Dao' didn't show."
Feng Xi didn't really care that much. She rubbed crushed stone powder over the writing until no traces remained, then she and Jun Wen left the auxiliary cave.
By this time, Xuantian Sect was in an uproar!
Previously, the little turtle bastards were a blatant insult.
Now, Xuanwu Bestows Blessing was a heavenly omen!
So it turned out they were being narrow-minded before!
Those weren't little turtle bastards, they were the divine beast Xuanwu!
It wasn't that people of Xuantian Sect were easy to fool, the key was that the Wan Jian Wall housed ten thousand sword intents and several sealed spirit swords. Ordinary people simply couldn't approach it.
So if this wasn't a divine sign, what could it be?!
Feng Xi had originally prepared an entire explanation, but it was completely unnecessary.
Xiao Baidao patted her head, "My disciple possesses the bearing of auspicious signs!"
The four Peak Masters and all the elders shared the same thought.
This child Feng Xi was truly remarkable, she merely entered Wan Jian Cave and the auxiliary cave, and divine signs manifested completely!
Even Elder Duanmu felt that his burned beard… had a meaningful death!
Perhaps it was precisely because Feng Xi entered the auxiliary cave that the divine sign descended.
In a certain sense, he actually guessed the truth!
Meanwhile, thousands of li away, a flying boat turned around.
In the cabin, the sect masters of three great sects looked extremely unpleasant.
They originally planned to travel together to Xuantian Sect to watch the joke.
But now the little turtle bastards had turned into Xuanwu!
The joke had become a divine omen!
Too! Absurd!
They could only turn back halfway.
Beast-Taming Sect's Sect Master Hu Wankui sighed, "Ever since Xuantian Sect took in Feng Xi, they've had nonstop good fortune.
Had I known earlier, I would've stolen her away for Beast-Taming Sect that day."
Wan Jian Sect's Sect Master Lu Zhenkuan nodded, "Yes. If I'd known the little girl was clever, lively, and lucky, I would've taken her no matter what."
Hunyuan Sect's Sect Master Baili Muchen felt they were indirectly mocking him and sneered, "This so-called luck is all Xiao Baidao gilding her reputation.
If she were so lucky, her dantian wouldn't have nearly shattered back then.
Besides, this cultivation world is strength-based. Feng Xi is just a Qi Refining Stage little waste, not worth mentioning at all!"
Lu Zhenkuan and Hu Wankui exchanged looks. They both thought, your second disciple's cultivation is higher at sixth layer Foundation Establishment Stage, but didn't Feng Xi still manage to scheme him into being beaten half-dead?
But they didn't continue poking Baili Muchen's sore spot and changed the subject.
Achoo! Achoo!
Feng Xi sneezed twice in a row. Who the hell is cursing me?!
Although she had resolved the little turtle bastard incident, her inner doubts grew deeper.
Because earlier, she specifically had Jun Wen write words on the stone wall of the auxiliary cave, but they didn't appear on the Wan Jian Wall.
Only her writing and drawing could appear.
Why?
She simply couldn't figure it out.
Just then, the little black ball said mockingly, "You still have time to think about these meaningless things? At this rate you're going to die, your little life will be gone soon!"
Then it refused to say anymore, it's waiting for this damn brat to beg it.
Feng Xi said irritably, "If you have something to say, say it. If you have a fart, let it out. If you keep playing coy, I'll cut off your divine sense. Go play by yourself."
The little black ball's rebellion was crushed again. It wilted, "Do I even need to say this? Why did you go berserk before? Because the three spiritual roots in your dantian were fighting, right?
This time they only made you go crazy. Next time they might turn you into a real lunatic!
Don't call yourself Feng Xi anymore, just call yourself Mad Xi!"
Feng Xi: "..."
Of course she hadn't forgotten going berserk earlier. Although her power had surged then, the little black ball wasn't wrong. If this continued, she might really go insane.
So she needs to find a solution fast.
As she was thinking about this, the little black ball smugly said, "You know why the three spiritual roots are fighting? Because they're fighting for territory!
So if you want a permanent solution, there's only one method. Hurry up and cultivate the other two spiritual roots.
When all five spiritual roots gather, they'll have nothing left to fight over and will naturally quiet down.
If only you'd met me earlier, I'd never have let you cultivate this crappy cultivation method. No benefits, all drawbacks!
You got scammed by that book!"
Feng Xi froze, "Book? You mean the jade slip in my consciousness sea is a book?"
"Of course! You didn't know?
My heavens, I thought you were omnipotent.
But it turns out there's so much you don't know…"
Feng Xi: "..."
Where did this damn thing get its mouth from?
It just keeps getting sassier!
