The two were chatting idly when a knock came from outside.
Shen Hanyue waved her hand.
A girl in green lightly floated over and opened the courtyard door, revealing a bright and charming girl in yellow.
She stepped into the courtyard and called out, "Senior Sister Shen, Senior Sister Shen!"
Shen Hanyue waved from the small pavilion and called out with a smile, "Senior Sister Zhou, over here!"
The bright and charming girl in yellow had a graceful figure, light and exquisite, her feet moving as if riding the wind, floating into the small pavilion, smiling and cupping her fist at Xiao Ruoling: "Senior Sister Xiao."
Xiao Ruoling returned the greeting with a smile: "Junior Sister Zhou, what's the matter?"
Zhou Linglu hurriedly said, "Have you heard? Zhao Qingying of Biyuntian has already comprehended the Taiye Marrow Cleansing Skill!"
Shen Hanyue exclaimed in surprise: "What? She really comprehended it?!"
Zhou Linglu said: "Absolutely right, the news has spread everywhere, she comprehended it just last night."
"Alas—!" Shen Hanyue sighed: "She actually comprehended it! ... So infuriating!"
"Indeed infuriating!" Zhou Linglu nodded vigorously, pouting her lips: "Her luck is just too good!"
Xiao Ruoling's bright eyes flickered, as if lost in thought.
Shen Hanyue said resentfully: "She comprehended it on her own, without the help of any treasures?"
"The Comprehension Fruit comes from the Demon Realm and can instantly increase comprehension, but it only works for those in the Qi Transformation Realm; it's useless beyond that."
"Does our palace still have Comprehension Fruits?"
"Although it can only be used by those in the Qi Transformation Realm, it's extremely precious, so it's impossible to have any."
"This Zhao Qingying is really lucky!"
"Lucky enough!" Zhou Linglu said helplessly: "This is a one-step ascent for her, becoming a True Disciple!"
Shen Hanyue lamented: "Alas—when will we become True Disciples…?"
"True Disciples—!" Zhou Linglu also sighed.
The two girls continued to sigh.
Xiao Ruoling shook her head with a smile.
"Senior Sister Xiao, aren't you angry?" Zhou Linglu asked curiously, seeing her like this.
Shen Hanyue said: "Senior Sister has a broad mind and isn't as petty as we are."
Zhou Linglu giggled: "I'm just indignant."
Shen Hanyue said resentfully: "I heard that after becoming a True Disciple, one has to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield!"
Zhou Linglu said: "Only those who enter the God Transformation Realm will go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, it's still very early."
"Alas…" Shen Hanyue said: "She really won the bet!"
Seeing Zhao Qingying become a True Disciple, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
She had long disliked Zhao Qingying, who was arrogant, rude, and acted extremely, not even looking her in the eye, as if she couldn't see her.
She wasn't one to suffer in silence and couldn't help but sarcastically say a few words to Zhao Qingying.
But Zhao Qingying only glanced at her and left directly, ignoring her completely.
She felt even more annoyed.
But now, Zhao Qingying had actually become a True Disciple.
This made her feel even more stifled.
"Junior Sister…" Xiao Ruoling advised: "Don't worry about others, focus on improving yourself, we might not be unable to become True Disciples."
"Senior Sister, it's a distant prospect." Shen Hanyue was already despondent: "It's unlikely!"
The Taiye Marrow Cleansing Skill was completely incomprehensible, a complete fog, and she couldn't see a glimmer of hope for comprehension.
"Just do your best, don't force it too much, forcing it too much is not good."
"Senior Sister—!"
"Let's go eat," Xiao Ruoling said with a smile: "Don't think about Junior Sister Zhao, Junior Sister Zhou, let's go."
"Okay, let's go eat!" Zhou Linglu said.
She came from the Yuanling Realm and was the Holy Maiden of the Yuanling Realm's Moon Invitation Palace.
She trusted Xiao Ruoling, got along well with Shen Hanyue, and lived in adjacent courtyards.
So she often ran over to find Xiao Ruoling and Shen Hanyue to play together.
Unconsciously, they had formed a small group, eating and practicing together.
The three left the small courtyard.
The white jade paved stone steps were ten zhang wide, and walking on them felt soft and resilient.
The white jade road wound around, passing one courtyard after another, eventually leading to a large hall.
The hall made of white jade was a hundred meters high, majestic and awe-inspiring, vast and astonishing.
They entered the hall like ants.
Upon entering, they saw thousands of people dining in the spacious hall, the buzzing sound incessant.
Graceful women were sitting beside white jade tables of different shapes.
These white jade tables were scattered beside fish ponds, flowerbeds, bookshelves, and rare treasures.
The fish pond was about a hundred square meters, with more than a dozen white jade tables next to it.
Some women sat by the jade tables, eating while admiring the fish swimming in the pond.
The fish in the pond were either crimson gold or milky white, lively and peaceful.
… …
The three of them each took a wooden tray, filled with three dishes, a soup, and rice, and sat down at a jade table by the fish pond.
As soon as Shen Hanyue sat down, she immediately gave Xiao Ruoling and Zhou Linglu a look.
The two girls glanced to the side and saw a graceful woman in blue sitting quietly at the jade table next to them, eating slowly and methodically.
She was alone, chewing elegantly, unhurried, completely different from the hurried young women around her.
As if living in a different world, she was more leisurely and calm.
Shen Hanyue curled her red lips and snorted: "Bad luck, running into her!"
Zhou Linglu immediately shrank her head, retracting it quickly, not daring to look at Zhao Qingying.
She shrank her head like a quail, which made Shen Hanyue extremely angry.
Xiao Ruoling said softly: "Junior Sister, eat your food."
"I know." Shen Hanyue reluctantly agreed and began to eat her food.
While they were eating silently, Zhao Qingying next to them also ate slowly and methodically, without a sound.
By the time they finished eating, Zhao Qingying was still eating.
The three hurried out of the hall.
As soon as they left the hall, Shen Hanyue breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved of a heavy burden.
Xiao Ruoling smiled: "Junior Sister Zhao didn't say anything."
"It's precisely because she doesn't say anything that it's infuriating." Shen Hanyue snorted: "Arrogant, she doesn't put us in her eyes at all."
"Junior Sister, don't make trouble out of nothing, straighten your thoughts, and practice hard."
"Alright, I'll practice hard, alas… unable to comprehend the Taiye Marrow Cleansing Skill, I can only bury myself in hard work."
Besides burying oneself in hard work, there was no other way; if one wanted to obtain treasures, one had to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
The Extraterritorial Battlefield was located at the border between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm, with countless exotic flowers and herbs, and countless rare treasures.
Without going to the Extraterritorial Battlefield, there was no chance to obtain these treasures.
And without treasures, one could not become a True Disciple, nor would one have the opportunity to go to the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
In the end, it all came down to aptitude.
Shen Hanyue was still unwilling: "Let's go to the Myriad Phenomena Hall!"
Zhou Linglu agreed: "Yes, let's go comprehend the Taiye Marrow Cleansing Skill first!"
Xiao Ruoling also followed along.
In the end, they were all unwilling, and they all wanted to comprehend the Taiye Marrow Cleansing Skill and ascend to the heavens in one step.
This was the unified thought of all the inner palace disciples.
Almost every inner palace disciple went to the Myriad Phenomena Hall every day to comprehend the Taiye Marrow Cleansing Skill.
The Myriad Phenomena Hall was imposing and majestic, even more magnificent than the Thousand Delicacies Hall.
At the entrance of the Myriad Phenomena Hall, groups of graceful young women poured in.
The three of them quickly joined the crowd and stepped into the Myriad Phenomena Hall.
As they stepped in, the scenery in front of them suddenly changed.
They felt as if they were in the void, seeing a palace floating in the air, with a bright moon above the palace.
The bright moon shone down with clear light, and inside the palace railing, a woman was dancing, gentle and desolate.
