After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 468 Immortal Beast

Junior brother...

Jiang Liqian suddenly stood up and took a step in his direction.

Xu Youan also looked up at the same time, his eyes filled with astonishment, reluctance, and unexpected surprise.

But before either of them could speak, the teleportation array was activated. A streak of cyan light disappeared from the building, and the handsome purple figure vanished from the distance.

All good things must come to an end, Jiang Liqian knew this.

She just never expected that this day would come so suddenly.

Just then, a huge commotion suddenly erupted on the stage, drawing everyone's attention.

A blinding light shot into the sky, and a person and a beast hovered in the light. Beneath their feet was a pale golden binding array.

"It's a celestial beast!"

"My goodness! A celestial beast has willingly recognized me as its master! This is a once-in-a-century event!"

"It's a Azure Phoenix! Although it's not of pure bloodline, it's still a top-tier immortal beast. What kind of person could make an Azure Phoenix willingly acknowledge them as its master? Their affinity with immortality is too strong!"

"Hey, look, it looks like a little girl in that beam of light."

"What? A little girl?"

"My goodness, I didn't even notice the oppressive aura of the celestial beasts just now. Look, that little girl doesn't seem to have the strength of a Golden Core cultivator yet."

"You're such a dead fish! Don't you even look at how old that little girl is? She already has such cultivation; she's a rare genius. I wonder which school she's from. If she doesn't... hehe, I wonder if we could recruit her into our sect..."

"Dream on! Did you see the jade pendant hanging on her waist? She's a disciple of the Tianqian Sect! Why would she go to your godforsaken, godforsaken sect?"

"Hey, how dare you talk like that? Who said we're some 'ghost sect in the middle of nowhere'? Our sect is one of the most renowned sects in the Eastern Continent!"

"I'm talking about you. I've been wanting to get rid of you for a long time. Just because you're from Dongzhou doesn't mean you're so great. Whenever we set our sights on a spirit beast, you guys snatch it away. Calling it a godforsaken place is an understatement!"

"Are you here looking for a fight?"

"So what!"

"A fight has broken out! Help! There's a fight going on here!"

Su Yanqing leaned on the railing, squinting at the stage, and said hesitantly, "That person... he looks like a disciple of your sect? He looks like... he looks like that female disciple from Sword Peak, what's her name again?"

"Shen Qingqing!" Qin Beiyao said.

“That’s right!” Su Yanqing clapped her hands, remembering.

Ever since Shen Qingqing ambushed Jiang Liqian during the competition, she has disliked her. Unexpectedly, she was so lucky that she gained the approval of a celestial beast and formed a contract with it while visiting the Heavenly Spirit Gathering!

But that's alright, Li Qian already has her own spirit beast, even if it's not a celestial beast, it's still a million times better than that Azure Phoenix!

"She's quite something. Five elements spiritual roots, a disciple of a Celestial Venerable, and now she's even obtained a Celestial Beast. It seems she has a deep affinity for the Celestial Realm and is quite favored by Heaven," Su Yanqing remarked.

Shi Tou suddenly sneered and said cryptically, "Her luck is much stronger than others, but it's all mixed up. I wonder how long she can last."

After he finished speaking, everyone except Shui Lian'er felt a jolt in their hearts and looked at him, waiting for him to continue, but he didn't say anything more.

Shui Lian'er didn't understand what Shi Tou said at all; she only heard the phrase "strong luck."

So what if you have strong luck?

She simply didn't believe that fate could truly favor such a person.

"Li Qian, we don't need to envy these kinds of people. It's just a celestial beast, and there's more than one of them! We'll go down and take a look ourselves later. Which one do you like? I'll buy it for you with spirit stones. If the celestial beast doesn't want it, hmph, I'll use spirit stones to buy it all sorts of delicious food. I'll cheat and swindle it until I get it for you!"

Jiang Liqian turned her gaze away from the gradually dissipating pillar of light. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but chuckle. She was both touched and amused. She reached out and gently grasped the other woman's wrist, giving her a mysterious wink.

"It's just a mythical beast, what's there for me to envy?" As she spoke, she pointed to her spirit beast pouch. "I've already confirmed with Ye An'an's second aunt that my little golden peach is a descendant of the divine beast Hou, it's just still in its infancy."

"what!"

This revelation shocked everyone present.

That's an ancient divine beast that can feed on dragons. It's almost impossible for them to appear in the cultivation world. How come Jiang Liqian already had one?

Shi Tou and Su Yanqing had never seen Little Golden Peach before, but Qin Beiyao and Shui Lian'er had, and they even played with it quite well. They had always thought it was just an ordinary little dog spirit beast...

However, as soon as Jiang Liqian revealed this, Shui Lian'er's mood immediately improved, feeling like a loved one was making her proud.

Li Qian is right. It's just a celestial beast, what's the big deal? Little Golden Peach is a divine beast! And it has ancient blood!

"Let's go!" Shui Lian'er grabbed Jiang Liqian's hand and led her outside. "Let's spend some spirit stones and spend all our unhappiness. You guys come too. Today, this young lady is paying the bill. Buy whatever you want!"

Qin Beiyao immediately agreed and followed her.

Su Yanqing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but hook her arm around his neck and whispered, "Young Master Qin, your sweetheart is quite generous. You'll have to work hard to earn spirit stones in the future, otherwise her mother won't want her to suffer in your care."

Qin Beiyao's face turned bright red from what he said, and he quickly pushed him away, coughing several times.

Just as Su Yanqing had finished teasing and was about to follow him downstairs, she suddenly heard him whisper a reply.

"I will."

Su Yanqing paused and turned to look at him.

Qin Beiyao said with utmost seriousness, "I will absolutely not let her suffer even the slightest hardship!"

Su Yanqing was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked away.

-

The Heavenly Spirit Gathering lasted for a full half month. On the first day, Shui Lian'er dragged Jiang Liqian around for most of the day. Even though Jiang Liqian had good stamina, she couldn't keep up with this kind of shopping.

So the next day, she politely declined the invitation, citing the need to consolidate her cultivation level.

However, with Qin Beiyao by her side, who couldn't wait to be with her every day, Shui Lian'er didn't need to worry about being alone.

Ever since Xu Youan left, Jiang Liqian felt that nothing was right. Sometimes she felt that the water was too cold, and sometimes she felt that the food was not tasty. She always felt a sense of frustration and didn't know how to vent it.

She could only practice her swordplay in her own courtyard.

A bamboo branch, lush and green, straight and strong, when swung, a gentle breeze comes, carrying a refreshing fragrance.

The dancing bamboo branches stirred up petals that twirled and swirled in the air, as light as butterflies and as sharp as the wind.
