After Luo Bingbing teleported to a large tree on the Cliff of Doom, she went down to find An Ruo Ran and explained her intentions in the latest chapter.
Afterward, An Ruo Ran gathered all those who were training hard.
Luo Bingbing stood on a high platform, surveying the beggars below before slowly saying, "Listen up, I have some Martial Arts Manuals here that I will distribute to each group shortly. You must study them seriously, and if you have any questions, you can ask Aunt Ran."
At this point, she paused slightly before continuing, "Additionally, I have some pills that can rapidly increase your Power. I specially made these for you. After taking them, you need to absorb them quickly; once absorbed, your Power will increase by over fifty years."
Upon hearing this, everyone was very excited and replied in unison, "Thank you for your generosity; we will not disappoint your kindness."
Thus, Luo Bingbing had the leaders of each group line up to receive the Martial Arts Manuals.
Once all the Martial Arts Manuals were distributed, Luo Bingbing instructed everyone to line up again to receive the pills, one per person.
After handing out the pills, Luo Bingbing urged them to take them immediately, including An Ruo Ran.
Luo Bingbing then quietly sat aside to protect them.
It wasn't until the following evening that everyone finished absorbing their Power and opened their eyes one after another. Among them, An Ruo Ran was the first to open her eyes.
Seeing that everyone was awake, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but smile lightly.
An Ruo Ran and the beggars felt extremely happy when they realized their Power had suddenly increased by over fifty years and silently thanked the Little One in their hearts.
After giving An Ruo Ran some instructions on their upcoming training, Luo Bingbing quickly left the Cliff of Doom and returned to the Stone House in the Spirit Mountain Forbidden Area.
Meanwhile, Snow Spirit Elder and the others had already absorbed their Power during the day. At this moment, they were searching everywhere for the Little One's presence!
Knowing they would look for her, Luo Bingbing only stayed in the Stone House for a while before heading straight to Misty Pavilion.
When Snow Spirit Elder and the others found the Little One, they not only expressed their gratitude but also requested her to teach them about medicine and poison crafting.
The Little One understood that both medicine and poison would be useful to them, so she shared everything without holding back, especially with her senior sister—Su Yan.
While things were quite peaceful here, Shadowless and his group had already built a luxurious headquarters in the Underworld that could rival a royal palace.
The Shadowless has long been renowned in the martial world, and at the same time, the inns, brothels, and casinos under its banner hold significant positions in various fields and countries.
Moreover, they are continuously expanding their influence; the number of their disciples has reached over ten thousand, spreading across the entire realm.
Luo Yi's Beggar Clan is also a well-known organization among the World's People, as it is the fastest and most reliable source of information. Therefore, whether from the martial world or the government, people turn to the Beggar Clan to purchase the news they need.
As a result, the Beggar Clan has become quite wealthy, and those beggars under its banner live much better than ordinary commoners.
At this time, the Beggar Clan not only sells information but also operates inns and Money Exchanges. Their Money Exchange has become the largest in Silver Moon Kingdom, surpassing those of the World's Richest.
Dongfang Hao, having eaten Luo Bingbing's roasted meat every day before, has developed a picky palate and a rather terrible habit.
Two months before Luo Bingbing left, he had Mo Xuan try roasting for him. However, after more than a month of attempts, Mo Xuan could not reach Luo Bingbing's level.
In the end, Dongfang Hao decided to practice roasting meat himself. From initially being hard to swallow to now being delicious, he not only fell in love with eating roasted meat but also with grilling.
Now, his roasted meat can compete with that of Luo Bingbing.
One day, after finishing his roasted meat and returning to his room, Ye Feng came to report to him: "The Demon Palace has found out that the current General Lan Zhiguang of Silver Moon Kingdom is actually a prince from a place called Star Dream Kingdom in the southwest direction. He is also the biological elder brother of the Emperor of Star Dream Kingdom."
Upon hearing this news, Dongfang Hao was taken aback and thought to himself: "This old acquaintance is really hiding deep!"
"Send more personnel to secretly monitor Lan Zhiguang and everything happening in the general's residence. Do not alert them; we might catch a big fish through him!" Dongfang Hao instructed calmly.
After hearing his lord's words, Ye Feng quickly replied: "Yes, I will arrange this right away." With that, he took his leave from Dongfang Hao.
He was living quite freely! But that substitute in the palace, Miyazawa, was having a tough time.
As for why? It was because Eastern Spirit would come looking for him every few days, either bringing pastries or some kind of soup.
Since she was his lord's sister and his only sister, Miyazawa tolerated her presence and did not directly chase her away.
She would seize every opportunity to linger around and not leave.
She herself didn't know what was wrong with her. Sometimes, just seeing the Emperor Brother would make her heart race; other times, she felt nothing at all.
However, at this moment, her heart not only raced but kept pounding as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
The Nursemaid lived happily at the headquarters of the Asura Gate, but she often thought of her Little Princess, worrying whether her Little Princess was well-fed and warmly dressed.
At the headquarters of the Asura Gate, no one bullied her; in fact, everyone liked her very much.
The peaceful days always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Luo Bingbing had spent more than a month on Ling Mountain.
The beggars trained by An Ruo Ran had completely mastered the skills of climbing cliffs and swimming, and they had become experts among experts.
Although there were not many of them—only a hundred—their team was elite and powerful. Each of them possessed fifty to sixty years of Power, and with the assistance of fierce tigers, their combat abilities were exceptionally strong.
One night, Luo Bingbing arrived at the Cliff of Doom to find them. However, instead of revealing herself immediately, she hid in a large tree next to their training area and watched them intently.
When the moon hung high in the vast starry sky, Luo Bingbing floated down from the tree using her Lightness Skill.
Seeing the suddenly appearing Little One, An Ruo Ran and the beggars training did not show any signs of surprise.
Indeed, they had grown accustomed to the Little One's sudden appearances and had developed immunity to it.
However, they immediately stopped training and quickly gathered together. Before long, they stood in neat rows to greet the Little One respectfully.
After Luo Bingbing waved at them, she slowly said, "You have been training for over a year now. With your current abilities, you have few rivals in the world. Therefore, it is time for you to step out into society. Now I will briefly explain how to be an official and conduct business. Remember as much as you can."
Although everyone was surprised by the Little One's words, they did not show even a hint of it.
Seeing their reaction, Luo Bingbing was very satisfied and continued to share methods and precautions about being an official and doing business.
They benefited greatly from what she said and were amazed that such a young Little One possessed such talent.
However, their admiration and respect for the Little One grew even stronger; they all aimed to become her right-hand men.
Soon, Luo Bingbing took out several large stacks of silver notes from her bosom, which she had extorted from Dongfang Hao earlier.
Luo Bingbing instructed them to line up to receive the silver notes, giving each person a note worth ten thousand taels.
When those who received the notes saw the denomination was ten thousand, they were all shocked. However, they had developed a calm demeanor in all situations, so they did not reveal any of their true emotions.
After distributing the one hundred thousand taels in silver notes, the Little One said to them, "I will only provide you with ten thousand taels as capital. What you do with it and whether you can achieve great things with this amount depends on your own abilities. Now I will assign each group a designated area; that area will be your group's activity zone, and each group's leader will be responsible for matters within that area. The group leaders must meet once a month to report to Aunt Ran about the situation in their respective areas. The location will be determined by Aunt Ran, and you will be notified in due course."
Upon hearing her words, everyone quickly responded, "We will obey our master's orders."
Once everyone stood up, the Little One continued, "As we emerge from the mountains, we must not only strike fear across the land but also remain mysterious and become Shadowless. Our organization is called 'Purple Cloud Palace' and also 'Rui Tuan.' Aunt Ran is the Vice Master of Purple Cloud Palace and also the Leader of Rui Tuan."
The beggars were very pleased to hear the Little One's words because that was their team, their own "home."
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly at An Ruo Ran and then stepped back a few paces to allow An Ruo Ran to step forward and assign areas.
As for the fierce tigers, they naturally followed An Ruo Ran first. Once those people had sufficient strength and conditions, they would take them away.
However, twenty tigers had already formed a close bond with those twenty groups.
Now only a few more difficult-to-tame tigers remained, but they were very close to An Ruo Ran.
At this moment, the Little One had retreated to a large tree. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she quickly slipped behind the tree and immediately activated her Inner Strength to use her Ability, teleporting to the inn where she often received food and supplies.
After summoning the Innkeeper using her Ability, she directly asked him to take her to retrieve the clothes and dagger he had prepared for her earlier.
The Innkeeper led Luo Bingbing to a tunnel in the back courtyard of the inn where her previously requested clothes and dagger were stored.
After looking at those items, Luo Bingbing instructed him to send them quickly to the Small Mountain Valley not far outside the city while she waited for them there.
Subsequently, Luo Bingbing swiftly made her way to the Small Mountain Valley using her Lightness Skill. She hadn’t waited long when the inn's Keeper personally drove a cart loaded with clothes and daggers into the Small Mountain Valley.
Seeing that the cart had arrived, the Little One quickly jumped down from the tree and instructed the Innkeeper to leave that place immediately.
After the Innkeeper left the Small Mountain Valley, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to teleport the clothes and daggers to the Cliff of Doom.
When she returned there, she saw that the people seemed to be saying their goodbyes to each other.
Thus, Luo Bingbing instructed An Ruo Ran to distribute the clothes and daggers to them one by one, allowing them all to change into new outfits and leave the Cliff of Doom with their daggers.
Once all one hundred of them had left the Cliff of Doom, Luo Bingbing told An Ruo Ran to immediately take the fierce tigers back to the foot of Ling Mountain, while she would go down to meet An Ruo Ran at the foot of Ling Mountain.
After hearing the Little One's words, An Ruo Ran complied and quickly gathered the fierce tigers, leading them swiftly toward Ling Mountain.
Meanwhile, Luo Bingbing had already teleported back to the Misty Pavilion at Ling Mountain while An Ruo Ran was gathering the tigers. She quickly changed out of her Male Attire and went back to bed to sleep.
For some time afterward, the Little One focused on breaking through her Ability bottleneck.
Half a month later, An Ruo Ran arrived at the foot of Ling Mountain with the fierce tigers. After communicating with them, she called out the Little One's name in her heart.
As soon as she finished calling, Luo Bingbing appeared before her.
Luo Bingbing calmly nodded at her and said, "You're back."
As soon as she spoke, An Ruo Ran hurriedly replied, "Yes, Master, I am back."
Then, Luo Bingbing used her Ability to bring her back to the Misty Pavilion at Ling Mountain and returned her to her room within the Misty Pavilion.
On her way back to her room, she naturally encountered Snow Spirit Elder and Su Yan among others. However, Luo Bingbing had already instructed her on what to say upon meeting them, so she followed Luo Bingbing's teachings and quickly passed through without issue.
One night a month later, Luo Bingbing was cultivating her Ability at the Bottom of the Cliff in the forbidden area Duan Xuefeng. As usual, she was practicing when suddenly she felt an intense heat throughout her body as if she were on fire!
She quickly used her Ability to scan her body, but the results showed nothing; there was no visible cause for it.
The heat persisted for over two hours when suddenly a Golden Bean appeared inside her body, about the size of a grain of sand. This Golden Bean was continuously absorbing her internal Ability energy.
Before long, all of the energy within her body had been completely absorbed by that Golden Bean.
At that moment, her body was extremely weak and powerless, to the point where she could barely sit up. However, the Golden Bean seemed insatiable; without any Ability to sustain it, it began to absorb the inner strength from Luo Bingbing's body.
Once the Golden Bean had completely drained Luo Bingbing's inner strength, she instantly fainted and collapsed.
The Snow Spirit Fox and Phoenix, seeing their master fall from a distance, hurried over.
They continuously called out to the Little One, but the Little One could not hear their voices and showed no response at all.
Seeing that no matter how they called out, their master remained unresponsive, the Snow Spirit Fox bit its own paw.
Immediately, blood began to flow. Upon seeing blood trickling from its paw, the Snow Spirit Fox quickly placed its paw in its master's mouth, allowing the blood to flow into the Little One's mouth.
After a while, blood stopped flowing from that paw; it had run dry.
Seeing that its first paw was no longer bleeding, the Snow Spirit Fox quickly switched to the other paw, again biting it to create a wound before placing it in Luo Bingbing's mouth to let the blood flow into her.
When that paw also ran dry of blood, and seeing that her master still had not awakened, the Snow Spirit Fox lay on top of the Little One and bit its other paw again, letting the blood flow into her mouth.
From an outside perspective, it seemed that the Little One was still in a deep sleep, but inside her body, tremendous changes were occurring. The Golden Bean within her was continuously growing larger, and its golden light became increasingly blinding.
She gradually began to awaken and regain consciousness.
When the Snow Spirit Fox's bleeding paw finally stopped bleeding, Luo Bingbing slowly opened her eyes. The moment she did so, her eyes were filled with golden light.
The Snow Spirit Fox and Phoenix were overjoyed to see their Young Mistress finally awake.
Upon regaining consciousness, Luo Bingbing noticed that her Ability energy was not only full but also that her previous inner strength had returned. Moreover, her Ability had reached its peak—gold level.
Luo Bingbing felt immense joy upon realizing she had broken through her bottleneck and achieved top-tier Ability.
However, when she saw the deep wounds on the Snow Spirit Fox's three paws, she frowned and said to it, "Little fool, thank you!"
After saying this, Luo Bingbing immediately used her green-level Ability to cast a healing spell on it. Instantly, the wounds on the Snow Spirit Fox's paws healed completely as if it had never been injured at all.
The Phoenix was very happy to see that its master and companions were all well, so it took to the skies.
However, when it flew halfway up, it suddenly caught fire and fell from the sky in an instant.
Luo Bingbing saw this sudden situation and quickly used her Ability to wrap it up, gently placing it on the ground.
They were all very worried about the Phoenix. After it landed, they hurried over to it, but the flames surrounding the Phoenix were too intense for them to approach.
Thus, Luo Bingbing tried to use her Ability to extinguish the raging fire on the Phoenix, but it had no effect whatsoever.
In the end, not only did the flames not weaken, but they grew even fiercer, as if they had a life of their own, absorbing Luo Bingbing's Ability meant to put out the fire.
Both Luo Bingbing and Snow Spirit Fox were extremely worried upon seeing this situation but felt powerless.
However, Luo Bingbing could sense that the Phoenix's life force was continuously growing stronger.
An hour later, the fire on the Phoenix finally disappeared, and it was now larger than before, with even more vibrant feathers that seemed to emit a golden glow.
Snow Spirit Fox quickly pounced towards the Phoenix, repeatedly saying, "Phoenix, Phoenix, I'm so glad you're okay! You really scared me just now."
After hearing its words, the Phoenix let out a few calls and nodded at Luo Bingbing before soaring into the sky.
Snow Spirit Fox translated the Phoenix's calls for Luo Bingbing. It turned out that due to Luo Bingbing's upgrade, the Phoenix had also evolved. At this moment, the Phoenix had fully matured; it had just undergone its final rebirth through fire.
Upon hearing Snow Spirit Fox's explanation, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but feel surprised. She thought to herself, "So the legendary rebirth through fire really exists!"
After flying in the sky for a while, the Phoenix descended and took Luo Bingbing and Snow Spirit Fox away from Bottom of the Cliff back to the Stone House in the forbidden area.
The next day, after returning to Misty Pavilion, Luo Bingbing went back to her room to practice chess and painting.
Two months later, Luo Bingbing had no rivals in chess or painting on Ling Mountain and thus felt quite bored.
Seeing her boredom, Du Zhongtian taught her how to play the piano. Since Luo Bingbing had some foundation from her previous life, she quickly learned.
After she learned, she began to play modern pieces. Du Zhongtian and Su Yan were shocked when they heard the Little One play High Mountains and Flowing Water, marveling at her talent and skill.
Because of that piece, not only did Su Yan and the others enjoy listening to her play, but even Xuan Ye and Snow Spirit Elder loved her music.
They all believed that those pieces were composed by the Little One herself, unaware that she had "borrowed" them from others.
Seeing Luo Bingbing's impressive abilities, Snow Spirit Elder conceived an idea: to pass on the position of Spirit Mountain Sect Leader to her. After stepping down, he could travel freely.
Without hesitation, he shared his thoughts with his junior disciples Xuan Ye and Du Zhongtian. After hearing him out, they agreed for the future development of Spirit Mountain.
Thus, on that day, Snow Spirit Elder gathered all the disciples of Spirit Mountain and publicly announced that he would pass the leadership to Luo Bingbing.
However, not only did Luo Bingbing herself disagree, but even those who did not know her also opposed it. They felt that a child just over seven years old could not possibly take on the role of Spirit Mountain Sect Leader.
Several Spirit Mountain Disciples challenged Luo Bingbing to a duel. However, she had no interest in the leadership position and considered their challenge trivial.
So she ignored them completely and did not respond to their provocation.
Seeing the Little One disregard them so blatantly made those Spirit Mountain Disciples furious, prompting them to attack Luo Bingbing.
An Ruo Ran and Su Yan, who had been watching the Little One sitting still, feared for her safety and quickly stepped in to block the attacking disciples.
The Spirit Mountain Disciples recognized the strength of An Ruo Ran and Su Yan from their previous encounters and hesitated to advance further.
Nevertheless, they continued to insult the Little One for being incapable and unwilling to accept their challenge.
Luo Bingbing, who initially did not want to take on the leadership role, raised an eyebrow at their words and said to them, "I didn't plan on accepting this position, but because of your earlier actions, I've changed my mind."
At this point, she turned to Snow Spirit Elder beside her and said, "Old man, I’ll take this position."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Bingbing released her powerful aura.
The Spirit Mountain Disciples were still stunned by the Little One's disrespect towards their leader when they suddenly felt the overwhelming pressure of her strength.
Because their martial arts skills were too low, they quickly felt their blood surging, becoming dizzy and unable to bear it.
Not only them, but even Su Yan and An Ruo Ran found it hard to withstand the pressure released by the Little One.
After a while, Luo Bingbing felt that she had achieved the desired effect and instantly retracted the pressure.
Those who had previously opposed the Little One becoming the leader changed their minds after this incident and became quite fearful of the Little One.
Thus, Luo Bingbing took over the position of Sect Leader.
That night, when the Little One assumed the position of Sect Leader of Spirit Mountain, Snow Spirit Elder brought Luo Bingbing to Ghost Valley.
Inside Ghost Valley, there was a hidden force of Spirit Mountain known as Ghost Gate. A Century Ago, Ghost Gate was the leading sect in the martial world but has since disappeared from the Jianghu.
The disappearance of Ghost Gate A Century Ago was not only due to attacks from the entire martial world at that time but also due to internal reasons, which led to some people remaining behind.
Now that Luo Bingbing had accepted the position of Spirit Mountain Sect Leader, she had to pass the test of Ghost Gate to become their leader.
Although Ghost Gate has vanished from the Jianghu today, its influence has spread throughout the world.
Of course, all of this was happening in secret; the outside world believed that Ghost Gate was destroyed A Century Ago, unaware that it not only survived but had become even stronger than before.
Snow Spirit Elder stood at the entrance of Ghost Valley and said to the Little One beside her, "Go! Only by passing their test and gaining their recognition can you become the leader of Ghost Gate and truly be the Sect Leader of Spirit Mountain."
