Squatting on the Brazier to Cultivate, Truly Indecent

"Yes, although squatting on the brazier to cultivate is indeed undignified, as long as it can improve my cultivation, it's a good thing!"

"It seems we don't need to have another child. This eldest is still salvageable."

The elderly couple exchanged a look, having already made new plans in their hearts.

Immediately after, Wei Qingshan pushed open the door to the Training Hall, which startled Wei Qingyu.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?"

Wei Qingyu quickly stood up from the brazier, afraid her parents would see her squatting on it.

Liu Yucui, however, smiled kindly and said, "Your father and I are very pleased to see you cultivating so diligently at night."

"Daughter, please don't overwork yourself."

Hearing this, Wei Qingyu immediately laughed.

She responded to Liu Yucui on the spot, "Mother, you don't need to worry about me at all."

"I, the dignified Empress, ah, no... how could I possibly not endure such hardship?"

"Mother, my cultivation has already broken through to the Third Level of Innate Realm."

"You and Father just wait, I will eventually make our Wei Family transform into the most powerful family in the entire East Desolation Commandery!"

Hearing her daughter's ambitious declaration, Wei Qingshan and Liu Yucui felt very gratified.

Then, Wei Qingshan said, "Daughter, if you truly have this ambition, your father is truly happy."

"Since that's the case, I think you can go to Immortal County and participate in the Rookie Competition three days from now."

Upon hearing the words "Rookie Competition," Wei Qingyu's interest was immediately piqued.

She recalled that Immortal County was near East Desolation Commandery, and in terms of population size and territory, it was larger than East Desolation Commandery.

The Rookie Competition was an event jointly organized by several major sects in Immortal County and East Desolation Commandery.

The purpose of this competition was for the major sects to spar, exchange ideas, and foster friendship.

In addition to the new disciples of the major sects participating, itinerant cultivators from various regions were also allowed to join.

If an itinerant cultivator could make a name for themselves at the competition, they might even receive offers from the major sects.

In her previous life, Wei Qingyu had eagerly followed Gu Chen to participate in this competition.

In the end, she did receive generous rewards along with Gu Chen.

But Wei Qingyu was not satisfied!

If Gu Chen hadn't taught her the wrong cultivation methods all along, she might have been directly scouted by the major sects back then!

Thinking of this, Wei Qingyu became even more indignant.

She felt that Gu Chen owed her far too much.

If it weren't for Gu Chen, she would have definitely lived a better life on her own!

Wei Qingyu responded on the spot, "Father, I am definitely participating in this Rookie Competition!"

Lingxu Secret Realm, Second Divine Hall.

Shi Mengying was still examining the large pool of unknown bloodstains around her.

Meanwhile, a huge shadow had quietly appeared behind her.

The next second, Shi Mengying instantly felt a powerful oppressive force surging from behind her.

Swish!

A ball of scorching flame instantly engulfed the area where Shi Mengying was.

The bright firelight even illuminated more than half of the valley floor.

The Crimson Mane Fierce Lion, covered in blood, had a shocking bloody hole in its head!

Fortunately, Shi Mengying reacted quickly and dodged the attack.

As she leaped into the air, she saw the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion behind her.

"There are monsters like this in this place?"

Shi Mengying stared at the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion, drawing her long sword and thrusting it forward.

However, the enraged Crimson Mane Fierce Lion reacted with incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion actually shifted its position, opened its massive maw, and charged at Shi Mengying.

"Heh, monster, you're quite fast."

"I'd like to see..."

Before Shi Mengying could finish speaking, the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion instantly spewed out hellfire capable of burning everything!

Shi Mengying had no time to dodge and was completely enveloped by the flames.

After the flames subsided, silence returned to the surroundings.

In the darkness, only the low growl of the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion could be heard.

It seemed to be complaining that Shi Mengying was far too weak compared to the previous guy.

But just as the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion took a few steps forward.

From the darkness behind it, several fleeting sparks of flame suddenly appeared.

These sparks piqued the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion's interest, causing it to turn its head and stare at the darkness before it with surprise.

Following this, the sparks gradually brightened, eventually outlining the shape of a woman.

Shi Mengying's body was surrounded by a faint glow, and her eyes had become noticeably brighter.

The hellfire that the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion had just spat out was capable of incinerating everything in existence.

And Shi Mengying, having been at the center of the hellfire's range, naturally could not escape its wrath.

But she was a treasure of the Phoenix Clan.

With Phoenix Spirit Blood flowing through her veins, she would not die easily.

Especially after being burned by flames, she would be reborn in flames!

At this very moment, tempered by the hellfire, Shi Mengying's cultivation level had directly increased by several small realms.

From the Third Level of Innate Realm, she had been forcefully pushed to the Seventh Level!

This astonishing breakthrough in cultivation was not solely due to her possessing Phoenix Spirit Blood.

There was also a more significant reason: the abundant Spiritual Energy throughout the entire Lingxu Secret Realm.

This allowed Shi Mengying's cultivation to achieve such a rapid leap!

"As expected of an ancient divine beast, the hellfire is quite potent."

"It's a shame it's still not enough to deal with me."

Shi Mengying casually flicked her right hand, and a stream of blue flame danced and leaped in the air.

As Shi Mengying's words fell, the blue stream of light gently landed on the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion.

Instantly, the blue flame spread rapidly, completely engulfing the Crimson Mane Fierce Lion!

Endless wails and roars echoed throughout the valley.

The Crimson Mane Fierce Lion, an ancient divine beast, was actually burned to death by Shi Mengying's Phoenix Spirit Fire!

Admiring the scene of the spirit beast immolating itself before her, a bloodthirsty smile spread across Shi Mengying's lips.

She slowly opened her right hand, feeling every inch of change within her body.

Shi Mengying's cultivation had now reached the Seventh Level of Innate Realm, not far from the Profound Gang Realm.

At the same time, she had unexpectedly gained one of the Phoenix Clan's divine powers: Phoenix Spirit Fire.

Phoenix Spirit Fire was different from all other flames in the world.

This flame could attach itself to any object and would burn eternally unless the object was completely destroyed.

At that moment, infinite killing intent blazed in Shi Mengying's eyes.

With an enchanting expression, she said, "Gu Chen, you'd better enjoy your time on the run."

"Your life will be mine sooner or later."

Lingxu Secret Realm, Third Divine Hall.

Gu Chen stared at the person before him who looked exactly like him, a sense of confusion filling his mind.
