The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

Moreover, after consuming so many Restoration Pills, Yun Jin discovered her meridians had expanded and become more resilient.

Typically, Restoration Pills were used for healing, and healthy people wouldn’t consume them.

But Yun Jin was different.

First, she obtained Restoration Pills easily.

Second, she could increase her cultivation by consuming any food containing spiritual energy.

Restoration Pills contained spiritual energy, even more than Foundation Establishment Pills.

For her, Restoration Pills could also increase cultivation.

With this in mind, Yun Jin popped Restoration Pills like candy whenever she had free time.

This experiment revealed the pill’s hidden effect.

Of course, this effect was likely useless for others.

Who else would dare consume Restoration Pills like candy?

Even Huo Lie or Zhao Wuji might not.

Yun Jin had a vague idea. Once she could refine higher-grade pills, she could arrange this for her senior brothers and sisters.

With expanded meridians, they could store far more spiritual energy than their peers at the same level. Becoming extraordinary would no longer be a dream.

Lastly, for plant cultivation, she had Gu Jinghong practice for her these past days. Her status panel had changed dramatically.

A first-grade plant cultivator needed at least three cultivation techniques at level one.

A second-grade cultivator required level two, and so on.

Yun Jin’s three techniques were now at peak level two, just a step away from level three.

From what she knew, that Senior Brother Ye Cheng was a third-grade plant cultivator.

Since Tianxing Sect had limited plant cultivation manuals, Ye Cheng practiced the same Minor Cloud Rain Technique, Earth Control Technique, and Insect Banishment Finger. He had reached level three in all three.

She was slightly behind in level.

However.

With her “slight modifications” to the three techniques, defeating Ye Cheng wouldn’t be difficult.

Yun Jin was fully prepared as the ten-day deadline arrived.

Just as she finished checking her status panel, Zhao Wuji’s people arrived.

Zhao Wuji took this competition seriously.

He personally selected a spirit field as the competition ground, one Ye Cheng had been tending and was most familiar with. After learning Ye Cheng’s specialties, he personally set the competition items.

He didn’t believe Yun Jin had any chance of winning now.

More likely, she wouldn’t even be able to perform the most basic techniques, thoroughly embarrassing herself.

After the Disciplinary Hall incident’s publicity and ten days of anticipation, word of mouth ensured that everyone in the sect came to watch.

The spirit field was surrounded early on, packed to the brim.

Ye Danxia was also brought over.

Though pale, her eyes still flickered with hope.

Her life hinged on this result.

This time, all ten Peak Masters were present.

Even those usually uninvolved, like Elder Ming, Elder Sword, and Elder Ling, came in person.

Confident in his victory, Zhao Wuji graciously arranged seats for them.

They wanted to resist his rule?

Thought they could shake his authority with one Yun Jin?

He’d show them that he, Zhao Wuji, was still the undisputed deity of Tianxing Sect!

Yun Jin and Ye Cheng stood on opposite sides.

The introverted Ye Cheng kept his head down, trembling nervously.

“Is Senior Brother Ye so nervous? Could this Yun Jin really be formidable?”

“You clearly don’t understand Senior Brother Ye. He’s always like this, nervous except when dealing with plants.”

“Senior Uncle Ma once said Senior Brother Ye was born for spirit plants. His talent in cultivation even surpasses his own. Our sect’s cultivation manuals are too few, and level five is the limit. To pursue higher realms, one must go to top-tier sects, super sects, or even… holy lands. Senior Uncle Ma believes he has no hope, but if Senior Brother Ye can advance to fifth grade within ten years, he might catch the eye of a top-tier or even super sect.”

As for holy lands.

They dared not even dream.

Their mid-tier sect had only produced one example in centuries: Elder Sword.

Elder Sword had been unrivaled in the sect, but what happened when he joined Kunlun Sword Sect?

By his own account, he was at the bottom in the holy land. Prodigies overwhelmed him, and within a few short years, he lost his edge completely. Unable to progress, he eventually requested to leave, spending years guarding Tianxing Sect and occasionally seeking sword talents.

So.

For talents barely meeting holy land standards, they might not be the best choice.

The Four Great Holy Lands!

They were only suitable for true prodigies who dominated their peers unrivaled.

Speaking of prodigies…

Someone couldn’t help but glance at Yun Jin.

Wasn’t she considered a prodigy?

If she didn’t fall in the later life-and-death duel, might she truly gain holy land recognition?

Alas, that was all in the future.

Yun Jin had too many mountains to cross, with one right before her.

Zhao Wuji looked at Yun Jin calmly, “The most talented plant cultivator in Tianxing Sect is Ma Hongyu. So, he’ll set this competition’s content. Do you have any objections?”

Ma Hongyu setting the competition?

Was that fair?

He was under the Sect Leader and Ye Cheng’s master!

Surely he’d favor Ye Cheng in the competition setup.

Hearing Zhao Wuji’s words, some grew nervous, others excited.

Given Yun Jin’s personality, she’d surely object, probably causing another scene!

Wouldn’t that be entertaining?

Yun Jin smiled and calmly replied, “I trust Senior Uncle Ma’s professionalism.”

Zhao Wuji was prepared for Yun Jin to make a fuss, ready to silence her.

But she agreed so casually.

He felt somewhat off-balance.

Eyeing Yun Jin suspiciously, he finally said, “Very well, then announce the rules.”

Ma Hongyu nodded, stepping forward, “For this competition, I’ve selected a spirit field to test three techniques. This field was just harvested and is now empty. We’ll plant a batch of Yellow-grade herbs: Soul Calming Fruit. Soul Calming Fruit has very high soil requirements, so you’ll need to use the Earth Control Technique to prepare the soil optimally.”

“Then, you’ll each plant seeds and use the Minor Cloud Rain Technique to nurture them until they sprout. Finally, I’ll release insects that eat seedlings to test your Insect Banishment Finger proficiency. The winner will be decided based on a comprehensive evaluation of these three tasks. Do either of you have any objections?”
