Quick Transmigration: Don't Let an Honest Man Become a Villainous Supporting Female Character

Chapter 280 If You're Going to Cultivate, Cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness 7

After Wen Shubai left, Ji Chaoxi continued practicing according to what Wen Shubai had just taught her. Every time she swung her sword, she felt a soreness in her bones.

All Ji Chaoxi could hear was the sound of swords cutting through the air. Her movements became more and more steady, and she no longer staggered.

When she had practiced for over a thousand repetitions, she suddenly felt a strange sensation in her body.

Ji Chaoxi was stunned for a moment. She felt that the sword, which had been incredibly heavy just moments before, suddenly became lighter.

This time, she didn't exert any force. With a twist of her waist, the sword drew a perfect arc from bottom to top. Due to the excessive speed, she heard a crisp sound of air being cut.

This is different from the previous sound.

Ji Chaoxi was overjoyed: "Liuli, I can teach you now!"

Seeing Ji Chaoxi's trembling hands, Liuli quickly shook her head: "Miss, you should practice by yourself. I'm so tired."

Ji Chaoxi was a little disappointed, but she started practicing again.

Why don't you let Liuli teach you?

At this moment, the Second Elder was under the tree, earnestly persuading Wen Shubai.

"Shubai, why did you let Miss Ji start practicing again? Didn't we just agree yesterday that Miss Ji would play by herself?"

Besides, Ji Chaoxi doesn't have any spiritual roots, so there's no need for her to cultivate them.

Wen Shubai frowned deeply, his eyes filled with disappointment as he looked at the Second Elder: "Second Elder, now that Junior Sister has arrived at the Heavenly Extinction Sect, if all the other disciples are training while she can only watch from the sidelines, what will she think?"

Even if she doesn't have spiritual roots, we can't just leave her alone.

Wen Shubai looked at the figure who was still diligently practicing her sword. Her movements were no longer clumsy. Although she had no spiritual power, she had already developed a sense of rhythm.

Sunlight shone on her, making the fine downy hairs and beads of sweat on her face clearly visible. Her eyes were full of seriousness and determination. She seemed to notice his gaze, turned around, and their eyes met.

Ji Chaoxi's eyes lit up, and she smiled at him while holding up her sword.

Wen Shubai paused for a moment, then nodded politely to her.

"Second Elder is right. Junior Sister is indeed very suitable for cultivation, except for her spiritual power," Wen Shubai said earnestly.

Second Elder: ...

He made all that up back then!

On the other side, Ji Chaoxi practiced even harder. The senior brother and the second elder even had to watch her practice swordsmanship while talking to each other. How talented she must be!

She looked at Wen Shubai not far away. He was instructing other disciples on sword practice. His expression was always gentle. When other disciples did not do well, he would simply use his fingers to press against the spine of their swords.

As Ji Chaoxi practiced, she wondered if she could become like her senior brother in the future, always calm and composed in the face of anything.

After practicing each of the four moves three thousand times, Ji Chaoxi's hands were so trembling that she couldn't even lift them.

Her hand followed hers; she had truly suffered!

"Junior Sister, let's stop sword practice here for today. Now, all you need to do is carry those two buckets of water to your courtyard, and that will finish today's lessons," Wen Shubai said with a smile.

Upon hearing that they had to carry water, Ji Chaoxi's left hand began to tremble uncontrollably.

Ji Chaoxi quickly pressed her left hand with her right hand to calm it down.

Please tell her to calm down with her left hand; it's just lifting water once!

Ji Chaoxi walked up to the two buckets of water and tentatively lifted the handles, but the buckets did not budge.

She could still use her right hand, but her left hand was like a dead hand, completely out of commission, and she couldn't use any strength at all.

"Senior Brother, are we really going to carry him?" she asked Wen Shubai, who was not far away, hesitantly.

Wen Shubai smiled and nodded.

Ji Chaoxi: ...

Since that's the case, then she'll use some advanced technology.

She really felt that she had learned enough today.

With her back to Wen Shubai, she secretly stuck two weight-relief talismans on the two buckets. As soon as the talismans were attached, the buckets immediately became lighter.

After the talisman lit up, Ji Chaoxi saw it turn back into an ordinary talisman. The talisman she bought on the black market was indeed effective!

Just as she was about to lift the water, a cyan spiritual energy suddenly covered the talisman.

Ji Chaoxi lifted her head with all her might, but the expected result did not appear at all.

The talismans made a "sizzling" sound before going out completely and turning into waste paper.

"Junior Sister, the most taboo thing in cultivation is relying on talismans."

Wen Shubai spoke gently.

Ji Chaoxi froze, looking guiltily at the ants on the ground.

Wen Shubai walked over, picked up the paper from the ground, and looked at Ji Chaoxi, who had been keeping her head down, and said softly, "But as soon as Junior Sister arrived at Tianjue Sect, she already knew the location of the black market. It seems that Junior Sister is a person with very strong observation skills."

Ji Chaoxi looked up at him, hesitatingly asking, "Senior Brother, are you praising me?"

If he was being sarcastic or sarcastic, she wouldn't understand...

Wen Shubai couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I was praising my junior sister."

Upon hearing Wen Shubai praise her, Ji Chaoxi became somewhat smug: "Senior Brother, I inquired about this from the servants at Zuixianlou. Everything there is incredibly expensive. Luckily, I have money."

Just then, a questioning voice suddenly rang out.

"flower?"

Ji Chaoxi stopped abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Hua'er, what brings you to the Heavenly Absolute Sect?" A woman in a blue robe looked at Ji Chaoxi with a puzzled expression.

"Flowers?" Wen Shubai's voice was also somewhat puzzled, and his gaze lingered on Ji Chaoxi.

Ji Chaoxi's face turned bright red. She yelled at the woman, "What flowers and grass? They have names. Stop calling them flowers all the time."

What a shame!

The woman's expression was somewhat innocent: "Didn't you tell me to call you Flower?"

When she was a child, Ji Chaoxi was extremely narcissistic. She always thought she was the most beautiful person in the world, even more beautiful than flowers, and she used her wealth to force the people around her to call her "Flower".

Later, as she grew up and her intelligence developed, she immediately abandoned that name.

"Liu Cuihua, shut up!" Ji Chaoxi was furious.

Liu Fuyin's face immediately darkened. She scoffed, "You don't even have spiritual roots. You didn't just pay your way into the Heavenly Annihilation Sect, did you?!"

Ji Chaoxi snorted: "Just because I didn't have it before doesn't mean I don't have it now. Haven't you heard the saying 'Don't underestimate a young man's potential'?"

Liu Fuyin smiled sarcastically: "I've only ever heard the saying 'Don't underestimate the poor and elderly.'"

Ji Chaoxi raised an eyebrow: "Then your level of education is too low! What are you doing practicing Taoism? Go read more books."

Liu Li whispered in Ji Chaoxi's ear, "Miss, Liu Cuihua was being sarcastic when she said 'Don't look down on the poor and old.'"

Ji Chaoxi gritted her teeth and said, "Liuli, you idiot! Making her read a book was also a way of mocking her!"

Liuli suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Then you are even better, Miss."

Liuli silently withdrew.

More and more disciples came this way. Liu Fuyin stopped talking to Ji Chaoxi and left with a few close disciples.

Ji Chaoxi must have gotten into the Tianjue Sect by throwing money at the pig slaughtering ceremony; her family loves throwing money at pig slaughtering ceremony the most.

As dusk settled, a bluish-purple hue gradually enveloped the mountains of the Tianjue Sect. The disciples had long since dispersed, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of the wind whistling through the bamboo forest could be heard.

Wen Shubai walked ahead, and just as he was about to return to the side hall, Ji Chaoxi jogged up and blocked his way.

"Senior brother, don't go yet!"

She took out a box tightly wrapped in velvet from her bosom. Ji Chaoxi opened the velvet cloth, and the surrounding darkness was immediately illuminated by an extremely magnificent light.

This is a holographic lamp shaped like a glass-like celestial sea lamp. Countless spiritual powders flow within the lamp base, and a faint light shines from the wick.

"Senior brother, this is for you." Ji Chaoxi looked at him expectantly.

This lamp is so beautiful; she spotted it at a glance on the black market.

Wen Shubai's eyes were full of smiles, and his tone was gentle: "Junior Sister, this lamp is very beautiful, but Junior Sister needs it more than I do."

"It's alright, Senior Brother. I bought three lamps, and this one is especially for you," Ji Chaoxi said dryly.

Doesn't the eldest brother like this lamp?

She's always been a gift-giving expert since she was little, there's no way she could make a mistake.

Wen Shubai paused for a moment, his tone tinged with apology: "I'm sorry, Junior Sister, but the Tianjue Sect cannot accept gifts from junior brothers and sisters at will."

"I appreciate your kindness, junior sister, but please take the gift back."

Ji Chaoxi looked visibly dejected. Her eyes, which were usually so bright, were now dull and lifeless. She gave a dry, curt reply.

"Alright, Senior Brother."

She hung her head, her eyes were red, and she clutched the box tightly as she limped forward, looking as pitiful as could be.

Wen Shubai watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but speak.

"Junior Sister".

The figure in front paused, head bowed low, but did not turn around.

"Senior Brother..."

Wen Shubai said helplessly, "Thank you for the gift, Junior Sister. I really like this lamp."

Ji Chaoxi, who had just been looking dejected, suddenly brightened up and shoved the gift into Wen Shubai's hands.

"Senior Brother, this is really beautiful! You won't be scared when you wake up at night, it can be used as a nightlight!"

Ji Chaoxi chattered away, returning to her usual self.

Wen Shubai couldn't help but chuckle as he listened to her. "Are you afraid of the dark?" He remembered that the last time he was afraid of the dark was when he was very young.

After delivering the gift, Ji Chaoxi pulled Liuli out from behind the tree. The two ran very fast, but then, as if realizing something, she started limping and dragging herself away.

"Miss, when did your leg become lame? Weren't we practicing swordsmanship today?"

"Pee..."

"oh oh!"

The sky had completely darkened, and Wen Shubai watched the pinkish-white figure gradually blurring in the night. She supported her leg, stubbornly pretending to be lame amidst the countless shadows of the trees.

Every now and then, her exaggerated "ouch" could be heard in the wind, along with her occasional bursts of laughter that she couldn't hold back.

The figure completely disappeared, and the surroundings gradually quieted down.

Wen Shubai looked at the faint light in the box, his eyes crinkling into a smile. He finally couldn't help but let out a very soft chuckle.
