Chapter 105

"Have you heard about Senior Sister Jin Min?"

"Of course! I even saw it with my own eyes. Senior Sister Jin Min's strength now is completely different from before."

"Yeah, in such a short time, Senior Sister Jin Min has become so strong. I heard from an inner disciple Senior Brother that the previous Senior Sister Jin Min wasn't even considered strong in the inner sect."

"What do you think? Let me tell you, Senior Sister Jin Min deserves to be this strong. Do you know where Senior Sister Jin Min went during the time she left the sect?"

"Where?"

"You don't know? Let me tell you, Senior Sister Jin Min went to the Eight Great Forbidden Lands, was chased by a Great Demon, and even faced hundreds of evil spirits alone."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true! My great aunt's sister's younger brother's wife's mother-in-law's daughter's son is an inner disciple, and he told me."

The events that occurred while Jin Min was away from the sect were soon dug up by many disciples, and the rumors became more and more outrageous.

"Have you heard? The reason Senior Sister Jin Min became so strong is because she went to the Eight Great Forbidden Lands."

"Do you know? Senior Sister Jin Min became so strong because she secretly snuck into the Black Tiger Demon King's territory, stole the Tiger Clan's treasure, and refined it."

"Let me tell you, don't tell anyone else, Senior Sister Jin Min is so strong because she killed the Black Tiger Demon King and refined the King Pill."

"Senior Sister Jin Min didn't just become strong herself; she also subdued the Black Tiger Demon King. Really, a Senior Brother saw Senior Sister Jin Min riding the Black Tiger Demon King back."

By lunchtime, when Ye Changqing heard these rumors about Jin Min, his eyelids kept twitching.

This was simply absurd—it was absurdity opening the door for absurdity; it was absurd to the extreme.

Entering the Eight Great Forbidden Lands was normal, but look at what these disciples were saying later.

Sneaking into the Black Tiger Demon King's territory, killing the Black Tiger Demon King, and even more exaggeratedly, taming the Black Tiger Demon King as a mount.

What level of existence was this Demon King? It was on the same level as Until Hong Zun. Even Until Hong Zun didn't have the ability to tame a Demon King as a mount. If Jin Min could do it, the Divine Sword Peak Master could probably be replaced immediately.

That wasn't all. After the meal, while many disciples were chatting, the Senior Brother who had been defeated by Jin Min in the morning suddenly spoke up:

"Fellow disciples, I have decided: I am also going to go out and train, just like Junior Sister Jin Min."

"Are you crazy? Is that training? You're going to your death!"

Hearing this, someone immediately retorted, but the Senior Brother replied with disdain:

"That's why the Peak Master is right to scold you. With you lot, you wouldn't even be able to get a hot meal if you were eating shit."

"Do you think our current cultivation is considered diligent?"

Facing the Senior Brother's question, everyone fell silent, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Diligent? Compared to disciples of other peaks, perhaps, but compared to Jin Min, they definitely couldn't compare.

Seeing this, the Senior Brother's mouth curled into a smile, and he stood up, speaking with heroic spirit:

"In my opinion, our current cultivation is like children playing."

"You think you are all working hard, but you don't know that every time mealtime comes, whether you can grab a seat depends entirely on luck. You have no certainty in your hearts, is that not so?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, because the fact was indeed so.

Except for a small number of people, such as Xu Jie, Liu Shuang, and Lu Youyou, other disciples truly didn't have absolute certainty that they could grab a seat every time.

"Is it not ridiculous to pin everything on luck?"

"Do you know what Junior Sister Jin Min said to me this morning?"

"What?"

"She said, cultivators of our generation must take fate into our own hands, especially when it comes to eating. Whether I eat or not is up to me, but when I want to eat, I must be able to eat, rather than leaving it to so-called luck."

"Instead of leaving everything to luck, it is better to endure briefly, give it a shot, and exchange it for the freedom to eat in the future. Experience great terror between life and death, and use that to improve yourself."

"Doing this might lead to death, or you might not be able to eat Junior Brother Changqing's cooking for a while, but as long as you can persist, when you return, every meal will have a place for you. By then, it won't be a question of whether you can eat, but whether you want to eat."

The speech stirred everyone's emotions.

*That's right, for most disciples, whether they can eat at mealtime really depends on luck. *

And how long such luck could last, no one could say. They wanted to take the power of eating into their own hands.

After a moment of silence, a disciple immediately echoed:

"Senior Brother is right! I have also decided: go out and train, brave the forbidden lands, for the freedom to eat!"

Before long, more and more disciples responded. For a time, in the kitchen courtyard, bursts of loud shouts erupted.

"Go out and train, brave the forbidden lands, for the freedom to eat!"

"Go out and train, brave the forbidden lands, for the freedom to eat!"

Watching the disciples with red eyes and veins bulging on their foreheads from excitement, Ye Changqing was dumbfounded, unable to process what was happening for a moment.

*Wait, weren't they eating just fine a moment ago? Why are they suddenly going to brave the forbidden lands? * ===== CHAPTER 106 =====
