The goofy junior sister is the most eccentric person in the entire cultivation world.

Chapter 129 Falling Out of Favor

The Taoist priest of Qinghe lowered his voice to an extremely low level and transmitted it to his ears in the form of sound transmission, as if afraid of disturbing someone.

"What's wrong with Uncle Qinghe? I finally broke through my cultivation level, why isn't he happy for me? Instead, he seems a little angry."

Xingchen Daoren's excitement was instantly thwarted, and he couldn't help but open his mouth wide and look at Qinghe Daoren with resentment.

But when he looked, the Taoist priest Qinghe didn't even glance at him; his eyes were fixed on the corner of the wall.

He couldn't help but look in the direction of her gaze, and saw that it was Shen Rugo. His newly accepted disciple hadn't left either; she was meditating and cultivating.

The Star Daoist felt even more resentful.

This junior disciple is only at the Qi Refining stage. Even if he breaks through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level, what's so strange about that? Yet his master ignores him and focuses all his attention on Shen Rugo.

Master Xingchen is truly jealous.

After all, breaking through from the late Nascent Soul stage to the peak Nascent Soul stage is a major event even in the entire cultivation world of Tianyuan Continent.

For the entire Star Palace, this was an earth-shattering event.

Apart from him, the other eight peak masters of the Nine Peaks were all at the early or middle stages of the Nascent Soul realm, but none of them had reached the late stage.

His breakthrough to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage undoubtedly elevated the overall strength of the Star Palace to a new level.

Even in the northwest corner of the Tianyuan Continent, due to his breakthrough, the Star Palace is poised to become the strongest sect.

Because the leader of other sects, such as the Hunyuan Sect, is only at the late Nascent Soul stage.

The Hunyuan Sect's overall strength surpasses that of the Star Palace because the Hunyuan Sect also has two Supreme Elders who are at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.

As for the Qinghe Daoist of the Star Palace, he has not appeared for a long time, and people either forget about him or think that he has already passed away.

It was quite unbelievable that Xingchen Daoren's breakthrough to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage was such a momentous event, yet his Uncle Qinghe, who had always doted on him the most, ignored him and only cared about Shen Rugo.

"Uncle-Master Qinghe, I... I've really broken through!"

After Xingchen Daoist stepped out of the formation, he had to speak again cautiously.

"You brat, I know. Keep your voice down and don't disturb Ruge's breakthrough!"

To his surprise, the Taoist priest of Qinghe remained cold and indifferent, not even glancing at him.

"But, Uncle Qinghe, I have really broken through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm!"

"Shut up!"

This time, Qinghe Daoist was even more decisive. After a shout, he immediately cast a spell to seal his mouth, preventing him from making a sound.

Frustration, anger, and intense jealousy began to fester in Xingchen Daoren's heart.

For many years, he has been his most valued and proudest disciple.

Although his master was not his Uncle Qinghe, and had already passed away, this Uncle had been taking care of him ever since he came to the Star Palace as a little child.

Even many of his spells were taught to him by his Uncle Qinghe.

Although he is called a junior master, he is actually like a master to him.

Unable to speak, Xingchen Daoren had to accept the reality that he was no longer as good as Shen Rugo in his senior uncle's eyes.

However, he also looked at Shen Rugo with curiosity.

After looking at it for a long time, I still couldn't see anything unusual.

It's simply about breaking through the cultivation level, from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level.

Shen Rugo's cultivation talent was astonishing, which he had already witnessed, so he was not surprised.

This wasn't the first time Shen Rugo had achieved consecutive breakthroughs.

Just as they were wondering, they suddenly saw Shen Rugo's aura surge, and at the same time, she grabbed five top-grade spirit stones with each hand.

The ten top-grade spirit stones faded away almost visibly, turning into ashes in no time!

Only then did he notice that a large pile of ash had accumulated around Shen Rugo.

Although the pile of ash was countless times smaller than the one in front of him, he could tell at a glance that it was made from at least four or five thousand top-grade spirit stones.

"This child broke through from the sixth level of Qi Refining to the seventh level, crossing the mid-stage to the late stage, and his strength has increased significantly, but it shouldn't have consumed so many spirit stones!"

The Star Daoist was filled with doubt.

Just as he was wondering, he saw Shen Rugo holding five top-grade spirit stones in each of her hands.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying aura erupted from his body, causing the spirit stones around him to fly wildly.

"not good!"

For a moment, Qinghe Daoist forgot that there was no protective array around Shen Rugo. With a shout, he instantly used his spatial magic to protect Shen Rugo, thus preventing damage to the secret chamber.

"Uncle-Master, are those ash-like things around Ruge mid-grade or low-grade spirit stones?"

The silencing spell that Qinghe Daoist had cast on Xingchen Daoist had failed, and Xingchen Daoist immediately asked.

"These are all top-grade spirit stones. How could this child use low-grade or mid-grade ones!"

"But, but she's only at the Qi Refining stage!"

"So what if you're in the Qi Refining stage? Do you really think you're so powerful just because you're in the Nascent Soul stage?"

"That's what Qinghe Daoist said coldly."

Ok!

Xingchen Daoren finally accepted the fact that he had fallen out of favor, and even being the sect leader was of no use.

Uncle Qinghe only has eyes for Shen Rugo now.

"Ah, Master, you've broken through to a higher realm?"

At that moment, Shen Rugo's scream rang out.

"I have broken through! I am now at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. The next step is to become a Deity!"

Xingchen Daoren immediately became happy again and said loudly.

"How did you break through so quickly? Why didn't you wait a bit?"

To his surprise, instead of Shen Rugo's congratulations, he heard complaints.

What's wrong with this child again?

The Star Daoist became increasingly depressed.

"What a pity, Uncle-Master Qinghe, why didn't you wake me up just now? I could have seen how Master broke through to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, and I could have gained some experience!"

Then Shen Rugo started complaining about Qinghe Daoren again.

"Cough, cough! I was in such a good mood, I forgot, I forgot."

However, don't regret it. This brat is nowhere near as good as you, and you won't learn anything from him.

Qinghe Daoist coughed twice and hurriedly said.

Did I get looked down upon again?

"Ru Ge, hurry up and congratulate your master! Your master has now reached the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!"

Xingchen Daoren finally couldn't hold back any longer.

Such a joyous occasion deserves a proper congratulation; he should show off a bit.

"Alright, congratulations, Master!"

"Why do you seem a little reluctant, child?"

"No, I genuinely congratulate you. It's just a little disappointing that I didn't see you break through!"

"No rush. When I break through to the Nascent Soul realm, you can then properly appreciate my demeanor."

However, you child, tell me quickly, "When the mind is clear and unattached to worldly things, and the Bodhi tree is not a tree, nor is the bright mirror a stand; originally there is nothing, so where can dust settle? From whom did you hear these true words of the Way of Heaven?"

At this moment, Daoist Xingchen remembered Shen Rugo's words, which were the very words that helped him break through his mental barriers.

"Well, this is the language of my hometown."

I heard it from the old teacher when I was in private school.

Master, is there something wrong with what you said?

Shen Rugo didn't know if there were private schools or old teachers in this secular world.

Anyway, since this world is similar to ancient times, she just said it casually.

"Old Master, are you referring to those school teachers?"

"Exactly!"

Shen Rugo nodded repeatedly, it seemed she had guessed correctly.

"That old master must be unfathomable. Ruge, you must take me to pay him a visit when you have time!"

The Star Daoist's eyes immediately lit up.
