"Don't worry, although the Ling Shan Sect has been in a default state, as long as the Shao Hua Sect doesn't make a move, the Fa Hua Sect can't act recklessly. They have to be cautious, so they sent Tian Yuan Sect first, and then our sect's second-generation disciple, who is of the same generation as us. We won't be too worried. The main problem is that Qin Shidi took away the Ling Qi Seal, making it impossible for me to control the mountain's large array. If things get out of hand, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on."

  Du Guan Yun said with some worry: "Qin Shixiong has been gone for over a year, and hasn't returned. Sister, you have the art of communicating with spirits, can you sense any omens regarding our safety?"

  "I can only sense that he is still alive, and there must be some reason for it. Don't worry, he was personally chosen by the Master as the Sect Leader, so he won't be in danger."

  Du Guanyun thought of something else: "Two days ago, Ju Shi said that for more than a year now, we can't open the gate to our sect's cave heaven. The spiritual medicine is gradually running out and he has tried several times to refine it but there aren't enough materials. The success rate of refining the elixir has also decreased. If this continues, our sect won't be able to keep up with the demand for cultivation elixirs. Moreover, in a few more years, we'll enter another cycle of foundation building and we'll need a large amount of foundation building elixirs."

  "Alright, I've got this under control and will think of a solution soon. No matter when Qin returns, we must take good care of this place," she said with her dark green eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a determined look in her eyes: "This is our home, no one should think about taking it over!"

  Mo Zi Chen still didn't know that Lin Shi Rui had personally come to see her, and instructed the other disciples not to disturb her. She was quietly meditating in her room, as if she had made a deep dream and didn't want to wake up for a long time. In this dream, she relived all the past events again, experiencing birth and death several times, escaping and being pursued, parting with her parents, and the excitement of revenge. Joy, sadness, despair, countless emotions surged forward, impacting her mind at the same moment. At this time, she still didn't know that she had already entered the critical point that every cultivator must experience at the beginning of their cultivation - Ling Jing Jie.

  The master will definitely have a tribulation in each cultivation stage. The Lingjing Tribulation is the one for the Refining Qi period. The following stages, such as Building Foundation and Golden Elixir, also have their own tribulations. After passing through the Yuanying period's "Equal Body Tribulation", one can refine and transform the Yuanshen, condense it into a baby, and from then on, fly and escape freely with great magical powers. This Lingjing Tribulation is only a test of one's mental state, as a cultivator who has gone through tribulations must experience all kinds of illusions and disturbances. At this time, all the demonic obstacles in one's mind will emerge one by one. If one's wisdom is not firm and cannot withstand it, some people may go crazy, which is also possible.

  Mo Zi Chen herself was confused about her cultivation, and she didn't expect to have to go through the Ling Jing tribulation so soon. Although it was mentioned vaguely in the Jade Simplified Scripture, the matter of going through the tribulation had always been a secret passed down orally within the sect, with each person having their own unique experiences and methods, rarely written on the jade scripture. Therefore, at first, she didn't realize this point, only feeling that this dream was too long, and her heart seemed to be somewhat unsettled. After all, in the past when she entered meditation, it was always peaceful and calm, without having so many dreams.

  Later on, she also realized that she was in a dream, only this dream was so clear that it almost brought her back to those past events, immersing herself in them, reluctant to wake up for a long time.

  It seems that in this way, she can grasp her previous regrets and will not let her parents die miserably or her home be displaced.

  Until in her dream, Gao Hu led three thousand imperial guards, brandishing swords and riding horses, iron hooves rumbling, rushing towards her, she panicked and threw away the jade seal in her hand, attracting countless people to fight for it.

  At this time, the jade seal fell onto the cliff and shattered into powder with a "crack".

  Mo Zi Chen suddenly realized!

  She is no longer the fallen princess of the Great Hua Dynasty, and from the moment she crossed the Luo Fu Ridge, she has cut off all worldly ties behind her. She is a young nun of the Taihua Sect, about to embark on her own silent journey in the world of cultivation.

  The jade seal has been destroyed, and even the mysterious water pool cannot bring it back to life.

  Just as those who abandoned me cannot stay!

  Mo Zi Chen suddenly opened his eyes. He found himself drenched in sweat. The spirit stones that had been laid down around him to form the Spirit Gathering Array were all shattered, turned into powder.

  She smiled bitterly, in that case, Shui Tang couldn't revive them either.

  She stood up, swept away the powder, and only then did she realize that her whole body was emitting a stench. It was as if she had just emerged from muddy waters and hadn't bathed for many days. She hastily went next door to fetch some hot water and thoroughly washed herself clean, washing away all the dirt on her body.

  At this time, she saw that it was just dawn outside and was still a bit surprised. She had gone into seclusion at noon, but now it was already the fourth watch of the second day?

  The water was washed and cooled, Mo Zi Chen snapped her fingers, and a small fireball jumped out from the tip of her finger, flying to the bottom of the bucket to heat up the water. This was one of the small magic tricks she had learned during her days of cultivation in Yingzhou.

  However, she immediately opened her eyes wide. The fireballs she had cast before were only about the size of a baby's fist, but now they had become as big as small pumpkins. Moreover, the heat contained within was far beyond what it used to be.

  This discovery shocked her, she hastily washed and dressed again, sat down to meditate, the true energy circulated through the twelve meridians, only then did she discover that her cultivation had suddenly made a huge leap, crossing the threshold of the fourth layer of Qi Refining, directly entering the fifth layer of Qi Refining. Moreover, her divine energy was full and her foundation was extremely solid. Not at all like someone who had just started practicing.

  At this time, the courtyard door creaked open and a gentle-looking woman walked in. She saw Mo Zichen and exclaimed with joy: "Zichen, you're awake?"

  This woman lived not far from the nearby area and was also a disciple in the refining period. She had a gentle temperament and often spoke with her on ordinary days, and their relationship was quite good. Her name was Guo Yue. Mo Zi Chen said: "Yes, sister Yue, I have been meditating for a whole day this time, and I don't know what's going on."

  Guo Yue smiled with pursed lips: "What's one day or two days? You're a full twenty-eight days, just two days short of a whole month!"

  Mo Zi Chen jumped in fright, "Twenty-eight days? I actually didn't starve to death!" No wonder she felt her stomach was empty when she woke up, as if she hadn't eaten for many days.

  Guo Yue said: "You are in the Lingyu realm, swallowing and spitting out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The vitality inside your body is naturally full, so not eating for a few days doesn't matter. Just turn back, have a good meal to make up for it, and that's all. I really envy you, being able to pass the Lingyu realm so quickly. I've been practicing for seven years and still haven't seen it."
