CHAPTER 531
Level One Alert
============================================================

Miaomiao gazed at the cultivation techniques spread across the desk. She couldn't help but marvel at how much effort this senior sister had put into preparing for dual cultivation with the Master!

No wonder, among all the senior sisters, only the eldest had made it into the Master's bed. You could call Ye Qinghan ruthless, but you couldn't call her incompetent!

It truly was a case of reaping what she sowed. Senior Sister had poured her heart and soul into this pursuit, rising early and retiring late, diligently studying and practicing, and bravely putting her knowledge into action!

"This Jade Maiden Technique is highly recommended by Senior Sister. The Master particularly favors it."

"In short, everything you see here, this senior sister has cultivated. As for the rest, I worry you might not be able to handle it yet, so I won't show you for now. If you ever need it, just come find me anytime."

At this, Miao Miao was utterly dumbfounded. What did she mean, "practiced all"? Had Senior Sister truly cultivated all these… erotic techniques?

"Sis… Sis, are you saying you've cultivated all these techniques?"

Ye Qinghan clearly didn't grasp the source of Miao Miao's shock. Observing her expression…

Miaomiao didn't seem like the type to shy away from hardship. She'd gone to great lengths to gather these techniques—they were her treasures! She'd never dream of sharing them with outsiders!

"Of course. After all, how could I know which one Master would prefer? Though these techniques are far more difficult to cultivate than the one Master gave me—obscure and hard to grasp, with slow progress—the path to immortality isn't meant to be easy. It requires nothing but relentless, daily cultivation, doesn't it?"

"Though Senior Sister has only mastered about three layers of these techniques, most remain untested in practice. But Master spoke highly of the Jade Maiden Technique, praising it repeatedly! He exclaimed 'marvelous' three times in a row!"

"Though cultivation is arduous, mastering one more technique means gaining another divine ability, right? If you regret not learning it when you need it, won't it be too late for regrets?"

Miaomiao understood this logic perfectly well. It wasn't that she feared exhaustion or disliked the hassle.

She had simply witnessed Senior Sister's extraordinary talent firsthand. While cultivating so many diverse techniques, Senior Sister had not neglected the Ling Frost Sword Art in the slightest. She still beat up Second Senior Sister like clockwork!

In mere moments, Miao Miao's astonished expression transformed into pure admiration. This senior sister might not be the most serious person, but!

She was seriously awesome!

"Senior Sister, can I copy a copy of this Jade Maiden Technique to practice? I want to have children with my Master too." Li Shiyu gazed at all the treasured cultivation techniques her senior sisters possessed, practically drooling with envy!

Ye Qinghan didn't mind at all. After all, Li Shiyu was born to enjoy life. She didn't need to strive to grow stronger like Ye Qinghan did. All she had to do was eat, drink, laugh foolishly, and space out, and she'd become more and more powerful…

Besides, with that face, if Li Shiyu had a child, no one would dare say no.

But she was different. Occasional indulgences were one thing, but actually bearing a child would likely only trouble her Master. To bear the Master's offspring and expand the lineage, she'd need to attain at least Immortal Sovereign-level strength first.

Only when she was truly powerful could she gain status through her offspring—only then would it be her master's bloodline.

Otherwise, who would believe it was her master's child? It would merely be a bastard, unacknowledged by all.

"Of course it's possible. But I've heard the Sacred Mountain possesses a unique secret technique, specifically for the Sacred Maiden's cultivation…"

Before she could finish, Ye Qinghan's instincts sensed an anomaly in the Lingxian Hall. Her expression abruptly hardened, her face turning grim as she rose slowly, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Senior Sister?" Li Shiyao sensed something amiss with Ye Qinghan and hurriedly asked.

"Intruders have breached the defenses. Miaomiao, find Chu Youwei and Bai Tao. Once you locate them, instruct them to proceed immediately to the Moon-Embracing Pavilion. Under no circumstances are they to allow anyone inside."

"Shiyao, you take charge of Lingmiao Garden, Qianji Hall, Baiduan Pavilion, and Lingchi Hall. Search them thoroughly. If you encounter danger, call me immediately."

Li Shiyu froze upon hearing this, glancing at Miao Miao beside her. Could it be that Senior Sister didn't want her to copy the cultivation technique, so she was deliberately making things up?

"Senior Sister, neither you nor I can break the restrictions of Lingxian Hall. Besides Sister Liu, who else could possibly break in?"

But Ye Qinghan offered no further explanation. "Enough talk. This person is formidable—likely stronger than both of us. Hurry up!"

Ye Qinghan swiftly drew the sword from Miao Miao's waist before striding toward the Main Hall…

This person wasn't exceptionally powerful. Though Ye Qinghan couldn't sense their spiritual energy fluctuations, the spatial disturbances clearly indicated they hadn't forcibly breached the restrictions. Instead, they'd used some unique secret technique to bypass them.

Even though Master's treasures had been retrieved to the Moon-Winding Pavilion, Master was not currently in Lingxian Hall. If it truly became necessary, even if it meant making a mistake, she would protect her junior sisters and the others in Lingxian Hall.

Her dual divine senses instantly extended, enveloping every hall and pavilion of Lingxian Hall except the Main Hall. Even the spiritual fruit garden on the rear mountain lay beneath Ye Qinghan's mental coverage.

After several scans, her divine sense detected no anomalies. Though the intruder's cultivation surpassed hers, it was highly likely they had concealed their aura and were hiding within another hall.

However, the most likely location remained the main hall of Lingxian Hall—the very place forbidden by their master. Sacred to all disciples, Ye Qinghan would never tolerate anyone defiling the floorboards of Lingxian Hall!

Moreover, protecting her fellow disciples was her duty.

With extreme caution, Ye Qinghan pushed open the main doors of Lingxian Hall. In an instant, she sensed the presence of the person she sought!

In the Master's bedchamber?

That bastard! How dare he trespass into the Master's bedchamber!

Her sword-wielding hand trembled with rage, yet she advanced cautiously and slowly.

Yet what puzzled Ye Qinghan was that the intruder showed no intention of concealing their aura. Worse still, the familiar fluctuations of this bastard's spiritual energy stirred an odd sense of recognition within her…

Hiss… And that scent, it felt familiar too. A woman?

Which slut dared to trespass into the Master's Lingxian Hall? How utterly disrespectful!

The Ling Frost Sword Array erupted as Ye Qinghan's small foot slammed into the ground, instantly enveloping the entire Lingxian Hall. Countless sword shadows, condensed from white light, filled the grand hall!

But it wasn't over yet. Ye Qinghan flicked her sleeves lightly, and over a dozen magical treasures shot out from her cuffs. She then flicked her jade pendant, and the Emerald Moon Glass Hairpin, the Ghostly Soul Lamp, and dozens of mechanical puppets appeared!

Still not finished, Ye Qinghan knew full well the terror of the creature within. She flicked her sleeves skyward, and four array discs instantly transformed into golden light, enveloping the entire Lingxian Hall. Today, even if it meant death, she would not let this creature escape!

Logically, Master's room should only contain a few books and some clothes. Everything else was just toys for her and Yu Lan!

There wasn't much worth stealing, was there? Though some toys weren't ordinary items—like the Immortal-Binding Rope or the Immobilizing Talisman, which could suppress immortal power—but still…

Having prepared everything, Ye Qinghan flicked her jade-like finger, sending a golden beam to blast open the door. She immediately peered inside.

But the figure inside left Ye Qinghan utterly stunned!

There stood a woman in a black gown, her beauty ethereal as a celestial being. Her skin was as smooth as jade, golden hair cascading over her shoulders. Large, slightly dazed eyes gazed around as she rummaged through Su Cheng's dresser!
