Chapter 9: Kicked Out!!

Without fully seeing the scenery in front of her, Jun Muqian knew she must have arrived at another place because she felt the surrounding spiritual energy was denser than ever before, surpassing even the Taiqing realm, which was hailed as the number one cultivation holy land in the Eastern Region. However, the concentration of spiritual energy in the lower realms could not surpass that of the higher realms. Jun Muqian slowly opened her eyes to see mist swirling around and a strong fragrance of flowers in the air. She heard the sound of gurgling water and crisp birdcalls. In the distance, thousands of jade steps led straight into the clouds, reaching towards the invisible dome. This was a fairyland, that was Jun Muqian's first impression. And in front of the tall stone steps floated a plaque with two indistinct yet dragon-like and phoenix-like words - Jiuxiao. Even from a distance, Jun Muqian felt an immense pressure, as if she wasn't looking at the words but ancient deities. There were nine skies in the world, each being the residence of ancestor gods and immortals, with the divine sky being the highest heaven. What kind of place was this that dared to use "Nine Skies" as its name? Such a tone was too big. Moreover, how did she come here? Jun Muqian squinted and walked forward through the mist. When the mist dissipated, she saw a pool of emerald green water with a stone tablet standing beside it, inscribed with five characters. When she read those words carefully, Jun Muqian's eyes changed, and she blurted out, "Is this the rumored pool that can bring people back to life, turn bones to flesh, and cure all illnesses? " She had heard of the Pool of Creation during her travels. Only the North Domain Emperor had one in the entire illusory world, but it was a dead pool that would disappear once it was used up. However, what was in front of her eyes was clearly an active pool. If someone said they didn't want it, they were lying. "You're not mistaken," came a lazy and leisurely voice from behind her. "That is the Pool of Creation." Jun Muqian turned abruptly, her gaze sharp as a knife. Emerging from the clouds and mist was a youth wearing a deep blue cloud-patterned brocade robe. His wide sleeves dragged along the ground like rippling water, and his brows were slightly wicked, carrying a hint of coldness. He was not the kind of gorgeous beauty, but more like a jade-like, exquisite and graceful person, elegant and extraordinary. However, when he saw her turn around, the youth shook his head and said, "I didn't expect it to be a little girl. And a trash with no spiritual power at that." Jun Muqian: "...". Was she being looked down upon? Although this youth was also good-looking, he wasn't to her taste. She still preferred more feminine beauties. Jun Muqian raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is this your territory?" "No, I just reside here," the youth replied. "Then who are you?" "Lan Yiyue." Jun Muqian frowned. "Did you bring me here?" This youth's aura was strange, and she couldn't discern his...

"It's just a simple Linglong Suxin Pill," Lan Yiyue sneered, "You look like you haven't seen the world."

Jun Muqian remained silent.

The Linglong Suxin Pill was a fifth-grade pill, but it was more valuable than some sixth-grade pills because it could enhance the user's cultivation physique, accelerate cultivation speed, and had a certain chance of repairing meridians and elixir fields.

And now, it was gone?!

Admittedly, the Linglong Suxin Pill was not a big deal in the entire universe, but times had changed!

No, that wasn't the point. The point was that she was being looked down upon again.

"I don't want to open any Jiuxiao," Jun Muqian's voice was chilly, "Give me the Linglong Suxin Pill."

Even if the chance of repairing the elixir field was small, she couldn't miss it.

As long as her elixir field was intact, she was confident that she could return to the Illusory Grand Thousand Worlds.

"You're thinking too highly of yourself," Lan Yiyue snorted, "The Linglong Suxin Pill has already been turned into nourishment. And can you close Jiuxiao if you can't open it?"

This woman really didn't know her place.

"You robbed my pill and you still have the nerve to reason with me?" Jun Muqian held back her anger, "If I didn't want to argue with a child, you would be dead already."

"Woman, you can't kill me," Lan Yiyue seemed to hear something funny, "And trading one Linglong Suxin Pill for the qualification to enter Jiuxiao is a blessing that you won't be able to get even in your next eight lives."

"Oh really, little devil," Jun Muqian sneered, "Then tell me, what's the use of Jiuxiao?"

Although he was clearly under eighteen, his tone was mature.

"Do you know what Jiuxiao is?" Lan Yiyue asked.

"Of course," Jun Muqian said, "Jiuxiao is the highest place in the heavens."

"Not bad, you're not stupid," Lan Yiyue nodded, "Jiuxiao is located within the Hunyuan Bell."

"I'm extremely wise!" Jun Muqian restrained her urge to slap him and her peach blossom eyes narrowed, "Hunyuan Bell?"

She had just picked up a bell earlier and then entered this so-called Jiuxiao. Could it be... she was inside the bell now?

Anything that could form its own space was highly coveted in the Grand Thousand Worlds, and even the Emperor Gods would be eager to get their hands on them.

"Nine levels of Jiuxiao within the Hunyuan Bell, the five elements, yin and yang, life and death orifice," Lan Yiyue's voice was ethereal, "It can command the world's divine artifacts. You say it's useless?"

But Jun Muqian was unmoved and suddenly smiled, "Little devil, I'm a useless person."

She couldn't cultivate, so what good were divine artifacts to her?

Regardless of where she was, strength was the most important factor.

To think that one could make the heavens and earth submit without cultivation was simply a pipe dream!

"You are indeed useless," Lan Yiyue didn't comment, "But the first priority is to repair your elixir field."

"Then you stole my medicine," Jun Muqian said expressionlessly.

"With the Hunyuan Bell, that's not a problem," Lan Yiyue snorted, "Right now, you are standing in the first level of Jiuxiao,
