In the Ninth Courtyard of the outer disciple residential area.
Liu Rou and Lin Wenxuan were huddled around a stone table, discussing the news of Yang Jing's breakthrough to the Qi Eating Realm in hushed, excited tones.
For outer disciples like them, who were still in the Huajin Realm, the Qi Eating Realm was a distant dream—something to be revered, yet seemingly unattainable.
They could only wonder if they would ever have the chance to reach such a level in their lifetime. Even if they were fortunate enough to make a breakthrough, it would likely be decades from now.
As the two were deep in their animated conversation, a familiar figure appeared in the corner of their eyes.
Su Qingyue stumbled through the courtyard gate as if her soul had left her body. Staring blankly, she walked in without even lifting her head, went straight into her room, and slammed the door shut with a BANG.
