"This is the Sect's Repentance Cliff. Zi Rou, I know everything about you. You've been idling around all day, even going to the mortal realm to loaf Mortal World. During your time at the Sect, I haven't seen you cultivate at all. What kind of behavior is this!"
Hearing him say that, Ran Zirou breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that neither her Master nor her fellow disciples know what Zhu Liang has done.
They simply happened to be strolling Mortal World when they caught her sneaking out as well, and brought her back with them.
But...
Damn it!
This completely disrupted her plans!
Ran Zirou felt wronged when she saw that the kind Master she remembered had become so cold and indifferent, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
She choked back tears and said, "Master, I clearly saw my senior brother and Li Zi traveling in the Mortal World, why didn't you punish them, but only me?"
The Fifth Elder frowned impatiently as he listened to her crying like this.
As Cultivator, one's mental fortitude must be up to par. If someone cries like this at the drop of a hat, their Dao Heart probably needs some serious tempering.
"Your senior brothers only went out for one day before returning to cultivate, and your senior sister Li Zi practiced Martial Arts Techniques the very next day after returning. In the few hours you slept, she was already covered in bruises on the Martial Arts Practice Ground. Why punish them?"
"What!"
Upon hearing that Li Zi had already returned to cultivate, Ran Zirou could no longer maintain her pretense, and her expression became somewhat distorted.
"Li Zi has already started cultivating? Wasn't she usually the laziest?"
That's not right!
In his previous life Li Zi never cultivated!
Before Li Zi's Divine Bone awakened, his cultivation speed was also very slow, and he spent his days scheming against her.
She would run into her every time she went on a date with her senior. At the time, her senior complained that Li Zi never used her heart for the right thing.
The Li Zi I remember was clearly an idle and lazy person, how come he has changed so much in this life?
The Fifth Elder's face darkened. "You're saying she's lazy? Since entering the Sect, Zi'er has never slacked off. Recently, in the Flame Hall, she cultivated day and night, and her Cultivation has progressed rapidly. She's already at the Eighth Level of Qi Refining Stage."
"What!"
Ran Zirou's beautiful face was contorted with a strange expression.
Unbelievable, jealous, shocked...
A complex mix of emotions, more vibrant than a color palette.
How is that possible!
How long has Li Zi been in the Sect, and he's already reached the Eighth Level of Qi Refining Stage?
How could it be so fast!
That's right, it's because of the Myriad Flower Divine Bone!
In her previous life, she had experienced the wonders of the Myriad Flower Divine Bone, making cultivation not only easy but also allowing her to progress rapidly without the tedious meditation required by others day and night.
These are all hers!
Now that bitch Li Zi actually thriving thanks to her Myriad Flower Divine Bone!
She took the opportunity that fortuitous opportunity belonged to her and replaced her—that bitch!
The Fifth Elder coldly observed Ran Zirou's ever-changing expression, his tone growing increasingly icy.
"You've been in the Sect at the Cliff of Secluded Cultivation for so long, yet your Cultivation is still stuck at the Third Level of Qi Refining. This isn't just because you lack talent, but also because you haven't focused your mind on cultivation."
Ran Zirou felt her head buzzing, and she stumbled back several steps before collapsing onto the stone bed.
If she hadn't experienced her past life, she might have cultivated diligently.
Having tasted the Myriad Flower Divine Bone and the experience of being empowered, how could she possibly be content with the status quo!
She must find those men from her past life as soon as possible and have them help her remove Li Zi's Divine Bone.
This belongs to her!
Thinking of this, Ran Zirou hurriedly ran outside, only to bump into the Barrier that the Fifth Elder had set up before leaving.
Ran Zirou's nose slammed into it, and she bounced back and fell to the ground.
Ignoring her aching, bleeding nose, she fearfully reached out and gently touched the Barrier.
The Master actually locked her up here!
"Guards! Let me out! I want to get out!"
An overwhelming sense of fear surged up and almost suffocated her.
She can't waste her time here!
Her goal was to cultivate to the Tribulation Transcendence Stage to confront that damned Heavenly Thunder.
These ordinary mortals actually locked her up here!
She must find the men who helped her in her past life and make them willingly bestow blessings upon her once more. She will carry their last wishes to Tribulation Transcendence to Immortality, instead of being imprisoned in this godforsaken place and turning into a pile of mud!
Unfortunately, the place was remote, and no matter how much Ran Zirou cried and screamed, it was to no avail.
Upon receiving news that Ran Zirou had been imprisoned, Li Zi was once again defeated by his senior sister on the Martial Arts Platform.
She was panting heavily and couldn't climb out for a long time.
My bones felt like they had been reassembled countless times, and I was incredibly sore.
The female disciple opposite her reached out to help her, feeling a pang of pity seeing how exhausted she was.
"Junior Master's Uncle, you should take a rest."
Li Zi responded weakly, popped a Medicinal Pill into his mouth, and sat down cross-legged to meditate.
The system recounted Ran Zirou's imprisonment, its tone tinged with schadenfreude.
[Host, Ran Zirou has become arrogant since her rebirth. She's always trying to get something out of others and hasn't seriously cultivated at all.]
Li Zi absorbed the medicinal power of the Medicinal Pill within his body while chatting with the system.
[It's a case of going from luxury to frugality being difficult for her. In her past life, she was surrounded by so many good resources, so cultivation was effortless and twice as effective with half the effort. In this life, her Constitution hasn't improved, and her Spiritual Power absorption is slower than a tortoise crawling. No wonder she can't concentrate on cultivation.]
Li Zi is only at Cultivation Qi Refining Stage, so he cannot cultivate some of the high-level Martial Arts Techniques in the Sect.
