The Saintess Herself Had Been Neglected

Fan Jianqiang was in excruciating pain. He really didn't want to go out. After all, his Eldest Senior Brother had a cautionary tale, and in his opinion, his own strength was utterly inadequate, making it unsafe to go out.

But Tian Qi was determined to send him out to strive for excellence...

He couldn't help but look at Jiu Wu, hoping that his master could be reliable this time.

At this moment, Jiu Wu couldn't help but say, "Qi Qi, how about... we just give up?"

"This isn't just for you and me."

Tian Qi retorted, "It's also to strengthen myself!"

"You should know his situation better than I do. He deserves a brighter future. If he doesn't experience hardships, his future achievements will be..."

Jiu Wu fell silent.

This is true.

Lu Ming said, "Master, Mistress, does this mean that after this Era of Great Strife ends, we will reward and rank people according to our merits in slaying demons and monsters?

"This... isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"It's not that simple," Jiu Wu explained from the side. "It's not just these things; this is just one way to advance within the Holy Land."

"Cultivators naturally value strength above all else, and ultimately, strength will determine the true ranking."

"But if one has accumulated many merits, even if one's strength is insufficient, one can still find a good place to go in the future."

"For example, the current Mission Hall was not considered outstanding in our generation, and his strength was also mediocre. However, he made great contributions by finding a talented disciple in the Holy Land, which is why he was able to become the Mission Hall."

"You should know that our Purple Mansion Holy Land covers an area of tens of millions of miles, and there are far too many positions and matters that need to be taken over."

"Even if you don't become an immortal or an ancestor in the future, you can still have a good ending if you make contributions!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming suddenly realized what was going on and exclaimed in amazement, "So that's how it is!"

"That's quite good."

"Yes!"

Tian Qi couldn't help but sigh, "The Era of Great Strife the Purple Mansion is the most peaceful of the Seven Great Holy Lands in the cultivation world, because there are many places where one can earn merit, unlike other holy lands where strength is the most important factor."

"At the same time, although there are many dangers outside the holy land, dangers are often accompanied by opportunities!"

"Throughout the past, there have been many ordinary disciples who obtained great opportunities during Era of Great Strife and thus soared to great heights."

So, be strong...

Fan Jianqiang almost burst into tears. "..."

Okay, so all that talk is just to get me to leave, isn't it?

He said quietly, "Then... what about my Second Brother?"

"That little brat is probably off somewhere living a life of debauchery," Jiu Wu couldn't help but complain. "Besides, you really need some tempering, especially with your lazy nature."

Okay!

It seems there's no way to turn the tide?

"Master, Mistress!"

At that moment, Lu Ming said firmly, "Let me go with my senior brother!"

Tian Qi frowned. "Your cultivation level is still too low."

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the sharpest sword is forged through tempering."

Lu Ming's expression was resolute. "Although my cultivation is low, I am willing to hone myself into an unparalleled sword. If I continue to cultivate in the Holy Land, how can I grow quickly?"

"..."

Jiu Wu's expression was somewhat strange.

This disciple I 'exchanged' is really... full of energy!

"The Era of Great Strife has begun!"

The Holy Son was enveloped in Dao principles, radiating a dazzling array of colors and special effects!

He emerged from his Secluded Cultivation Place, his eyes gleaming with an extraordinary light, appearing incredibly mystical.

"Your Highness!"

The Protector Disciple were very excited and bowed respectfully.

"Get ready."

He spoke softly, "This Era of Great Strife will last for a hundred years. If you wish to go out and seize opportunities ahead of time, you may do so now."

"However, being impatient is not a good thing."

He looked at Li Fu, who was floating in the air, extremely excited, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you really think that making him the beginning of Era of Great Strife means you value him?"

"It's nothing more than a trivial matter; there's no need for this Holy Son to intervene."

"Your Highness is truly awe-inspiring!"

The Protector Disciple spoke up one after another.

Then, he couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, when shall we depart?"

"Of course..."

The Holy Son withdrew his deep gaze and smiled calmly, "First Sequence Battle!"

Saintess Pavilion.

As soon as Lin Fan went inside, he heard Mo Daolin's voice and turned back outside, shocked.

"The brooding Holy Master's words are quite long this time. Doesn't he need to cool down?"

"Your Highness!"

At the door, Zuo Xiaoxiao excitedly said, "The Era of Great Strife has begun. Should we go out and seek opportunities?"

"Era of Great Strife?!"

Lin Fan's expression remained unchanged, but he was pondering in his heart.

What is that thing?

Too much talk leads to mistakes...

He finally waved his hand and said, "No rush, no rush."

Who cares what this Era of Great Strife is? Just keep saying "no rush" and you'll never go wrong!

At home in C City.

Qi Zixiao took a deep breath. Under the moonlight, she found the original location of the nine Pseudo Spiritual Stone and dug them all out. Then, she began to set up a medium-sized Spirit Gathering Array with the ninety-nine Pseudo Spiritual Stone!

"Twitter!"

The Dull Hair landed in front of Qi Zixiao, flapping its wings and chirping incessantly, seemingly puzzled by the sudden and significant reduction in spiritual energy.

"Don't rush."

Qi Zixiao spoke, then muttered to himself, "The courtyard isn't large. Using ninety-nine Pseudo Spiritual Stone to set up a medium-sized Spirit Gathering Array seems like a waste of resources, but in reality, it should raise the concentration of spiritual energy in the courtyard to another level."

"Although it's still far from reaching the level of the Holy Land, it shouldn't be too far off from ordinary places in the Cultivation World, right?"

Ninety-nine Pseudo Spiritual Stone were almost enough to cover the entire courtyard floor!

Using so many Pseudo Spiritual Stone to set up the array, and with such a small area, the concentration of spiritual energy will definitely be at another level!

Before long, Qi Zixiao began to take action.

She did not specialize in array formations, but Spirit Gathering Array were not difficult. Even a medium-sized Spirit Gathering Array only required ninety-nine Array Foundation, which was not a difficult task for cultivators.

Digging a hole is a waste of time.

Two hours later, all the Pseudo Spiritual Stone were buried. Looking at the many herbs that were almost taller than the wall, Qi Zixiao was a little unsure.

"Hopefully, after the medium-sized Spirit Gathering Array is activated, you won't continue to grow wildly."

Buzz!

She used her inner True Essence to activate the medium-sized Spirit Gathering Array in an instant!

Then, a change occurred.

A sudden gust of wind gathered in the courtyard and lingered for a long time!

Not only that, the air became several times fresher in an instant!

The Dull Hair, which had been somewhat uneasy, was now extremely excited, flying and swinging around in the courtyard.

In fact, less than half an hour later, a thin layer of mist appeared in the courtyard...

"Spiritual energy turning into mist?"

"No, although the spiritual energy is more concentrated, it is still far from the point where the spiritual energy turns into mist. It must be because the difference from the outside world is too great that this change has occurred."

The courtyard and the outside world are now two completely different worlds!

If one lives in a small courtyard, even an ordinary person can live without illness or pain for 150 or even 200 years!

"Dull Hair)".

Chirp!

Excitedly, the Dull Hair) fell down, and a pair of beady green eyes looked at Qi Zixiao.

"Keep a close watch on it."

"Chirp!"

Seeing the excited nod of the Dull Hair, Qi Zixiao began to have doubts.

"That guy, why did he have to choose such a name... even something like Xiao Cui would have been Dull Hair."

"Well, now I just hope we can grow some medicinal herbs."

She went back inside and started watching TV series and reading novels.

Under the moonlight, the mist in the courtyard was not conspicuous, but if you looked closely, you could see that the mist was slowly rolling.

The herbs appeared to remain unchanged.

In reality, the gases they absorb have undergone tremendous changes...

Time travel again.

Qi Zixiao, familiar with the process, opened the Image Recording.

"Hello, not much has happened in the last three days, but there's one thing I feel I need to tell you: a Era of Great Strife has begun?"

Has Era of Great Strife begun?!

Qi Zixiao was somewhat surprised.

She knew about the so-called Era of Great Strife, but she didn't expect it to begin so quickly.

"Li Fu has been sent to the Waterfall Chaos Star Sea to deal with a Poisonous Flood Dragon... By the way, in this Era of Great Strife, do we need to do anything? If so, just say so, otherwise I won't understand your Wan Wan."

In Era of Great Strife, what needs to be done?

Qi Zixiao was momentarily dazed.

Yes, in this Era of Great Strife, what should I do?

For all contemporary disciples of the Purple Mansion Sect, this Era of Great Strife is a rare experience, and also the best opportunity to hone themselves...

Qi Zixiao had originally planned what she should do and how she should hone her skills after the Era of Great Strife began.

But now, I'm shocked to find that everything has changed.

Not only did I gain experience on Earth, but I also swapped places with that guy every three days...

All previous plans were naturally disrupted and simply wouldn't work.

Moreover, having been constantly traveling back and forth between the two worlds during this period, I feel like there are many more things to deal with, and I've almost forgotten about the existence of the Era of Great Strife.

Now, suddenly hearing that Era of Great Strife has begun, I feel somewhat lost and unprepared.

"Is my heart becoming a little 'wild'?"

"Looking back, I've been more concerned about Earth during this time, while I myself have been somewhat 'neglected'."

"Even due to changes in mood, it is often difficult to truly calm the mind for cultivation..."

"Perhaps it's time to make some adjustments and prepare for the events of this Era of Great Strife?"

"Can..."

Qi Zixiao frowned, feeling a sense of unease.

"But every three days, the time travel will still happen. If we want to change it, the two of us must work together."

"..."

"Let's give it a try."

At that moment, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.

She was glad that she hadn't been arguing with Lin Fan all this time, otherwise she really wouldn't know what to do now.

At this moment, all he could do was think about agreeing with Lin Fan that the two of them would work together sincerely to face whatever the future held.
