: Simps Never Get a Good Ending!

Time flies in spiritual practice, and before we knew it, another three days had passed.

At noon that day, Yu Zhao was startled awake from her meditation by a loud noise. She got out of bed, pushed open the door, and stood in the courtyard. She saw red mist spreading to the east, and dark clouds covering the sky with flashes of lightning.

This is heavenly lightning!

Yu Zhao was somewhat surprised. If she remembered correctly, that direction led to her seventh junior brother's cave. "What is Seventh Brother doing? How could he attract a heavenly tribulation?"

Yu Zhao had no impression of this seventh junior brother. He was very inconspicuous in the temple, and she couldn't even remember his name for a moment.

"Interesting. Someone who's usually so quiet is actually holding back a big move. Is he planning to make a name for himself?"

At this moment, Shen Yunshu also heard the commotion and came out of the room. Standing beside Yu Zhao, they both looked in that direction. The girl blinked her big eyes, her face full of surprise.

"Could this be the Foundation Establishment Tribulation?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhao shook his head and explained to him:

"This is not the Foundation Establishment Tribulation. Look at the golden lightning. This is because a spiritual treasure or elixir has appeared in the world, thus triggering the tribulation."

Only after being baptized by the heavenly tribulation can a spiritual treasure or elixir be considered to have truly been born.

The Foundation Establishment Tribulation Lightning is purple, unlike this kind of tribulation.

"Senior sister is so knowledgeable!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunshu looked at Yu Zhao with admiration, her praise appearing genuine.

If a young boy were praised like this by a stunningly beautiful girl, he would probably be drooling with envy, but Yu Zhao was already immune to it. She remained calm and noncommittal.

She even thought the junior sister's praise was really awkward. It's common sense, okay? She didn't believe that this green tea bitch didn't know that.

"That direction must be Seventh Senior Brother's cave. I really envy Seventh Senior Brother. Judging from the commotion, that spiritual treasure is of a high grade."

While Yu Zhao was inwardly grumbling, Shen Yunshu spoke up. Yu Zhao glanced at her and saw that her eyes were deep and, although she hid it well, she could still see greed in them.

Even the usually serene and refined junior sister is acting like this, so one can imagine what the others in Qingfeng Temple must be thinking.

After admiring the heavenly tribulation in the courtyard for a while, Yu Zhao turned around and went back into the house. In her opinion, her seventh junior brother was already a dead man.

Making such a commotion within the Demonic Sect is like a child carrying gold in the marketplace; if he doesn't die, who will?

It's fortunate that Old Deng wasn't there; if he had, he would have died a much worse death.

Qingfeng Temple can't tolerate someone as awesome as him.

Yu Zhao didn't intend to interfere. It was all too common for fellow disciples to kill each other here. Senior brothers killing junior brothers, masters killing disciples... it was an old tradition.

They can usually get along peacefully because there is no need to fight, but a magical treasure that can attract heavenly tribulation is enough to cause a bloodbath.

She wouldn't meddle in other people's business; it would be a good deed for her not to get involved in the treasure hunt.

That night.

During dinner, Shen Yunshu chattered on and on about Lingbao's affairs during the day.

"Senior Sister, Seventh Senior Brother is dead! He died a horrible death; half his head was gone! And that spiritual treasure he possessed was truly of a high grade—a fifth-grade acquired spiritual treasure!"

In this world, magical treasures are divided into acquired spiritual treasures, innate spiritual treasures, and top-grade spiritual treasures. As for what comes after that, it's beyond the knowledge of a minor cultivator like Shen Yunshu.

The three grades are further subdivided into nine ranks, with nine being the highest. A fifth-rank acquired spiritual treasure is already a supreme treasure for Qi Refining cultivators.

But Yu Zhao was never greedy and didn't think much of a fifth-grade acquired spiritual treasure. Of course, most importantly, she already had a better spiritual treasure herself.

It was given to her by her deceased senior brother.

If there are better options, he naturally doesn't care about this one, so his expression was very calm. He just said "oh," because the allure of the spiritual treasure was not as great as the food on the table.

Seeing her senior sister's lukewarm reaction, Shen Yunshu was a little discouraged, but she quickly comforted herself, thinking that her senior sister was pure and upright and would naturally not covet other people's things.

She took the magical treasure directly from her storage ring and slammed it on the table. "Senior sister, this magical treasure is in Shu'er's hands. Please appraise it."

This time, Yu Zhao reacted, looking up at Shen Yunshu, "You went to steal the treasure?"

"How could that be? How could Shu'er, a mere Qi Refining Level 1 cultivator, possibly obtain such a treasure? This was a gift from my second senior brother to Shu'er."

Yu Zhao: "..."

Goodness, second brother, you're such a complete simp.

Yu Zhao picked up the spiritual treasure on the table. It was a bone sword with a snow-white blade that looked like a human spine. The hilt was dark with red threads wrapped around it, like bloodstains.

This bone sword exudes a chilling, dark aura... well, both its appearance and its aura are very much in line with the style of a demonic cultivator.

After examining it for a moment, Yu Zhao returned it to Shen Yunshu, saying, "It's a fine sword, but its aura is too malevolent. Use it with caution, or it might affect your mind."

"As expected of Senior Sister, she can tell at a glance that this sword was nurtured by Seventh Senior Brother using the blood, flesh, and souls of hundreds of people, so it is naturally evil."

Alas! Seventh Senior Brother is truly ruthless. To cultivate a spiritual treasure, he killed so many people, only to have it all benefit someone else in the end.

After a moment of reflection, Shen Yunshu seemed to remember something, so she pushed the bone sword towards Yu Zhao again, "Senior sister, do you like it? I'll give it to you."

"Huh? Why are you giving it to me? You can keep it for yourself."

"It's too ugly, I don't like it."

"This was a gift from your second senior brother. He would be heartbroken if you gave it to me."

"No, Second Senior Brother said that once it's given to Shu'er, it belongs to Shu'er and she can do whatever she wants with it."

Immediately, Yu Zhao felt sorry for the second son; the second son was truly a complete victim of injustice.

Despite her inner complaints, Yu Zhao had no reason to refuse a gift offered to her, so she gladly accepted.

"This sword has too much killing intent; you really can't handle it. But as your senior sister, I can't just take it for nothing. I'll trade with you."

As he spoke, Yu Zhao took out a bronze mirror from his storage bag and handed it to Shen Yunshu. "This mirror is called Flying Flower. It is a third-grade acquired spiritual treasure. Although it is not as good as this bone sword, it has the advantage of a gentle aura and can protect the body."

Upon seeing the bronze mirror, Shen Yunshu immediately took a liking to it, holding it with obvious delight. Only then did she realize that the mirror didn't recognize any owner. Curious, she asked Yu Zhao:

"Senior Sister, this was originally your magic weapon, wasn't it? Why didn't you recognize it as your master?"

"This is not my magic weapon; it is my second senior sister's keepsake."

"what?"

Shen Yunshu didn't expect to get such an answer. She wanted to ask more, but she noticed that her senior sister seemed a little down, so she wisely refrained from asking any further questions.

But she became increasingly curious, wondering what kind of past her senior sister and the second senior sister she mentioned had.

Judging from the senior sister's expression, her relationship with this second senior sister seems a bit complicated. Her fleeting glance was quite complex, containing regret, resentment, and perhaps even nostalgia.

If the relationship was bad, why would someone keep a memento? If the relationship was good, why would there be resentment?

Xiao Shen didn't understand, and he was very curious.
