Baili Qingmiao's master, Elder Qingrong, may have only been at Deity Transformation stage, but she was the same generation as Elder Qingxue. After hearing the wandering immortal wanted to take her as disciple, she hesitated for a moment, and after some thought, said, "At this moment, the most senior members of the Shangqing Sect are the Sect Master and me. If I were to become the nominal disciple of Elder Qingxue, you would become the Sect Master's martial sister. I don't have the authority to do something like that."

In actuality, Qingxue being a wandering immortal meant she was entirely qualified to be considered senior to Elder Qingrong and the Sect Master. But she was a guest and Shangqing Sect could not allow an outsider to stand in a more senior position than the Sect Master.

Qingxue's expression twisted and she started using her few remaining brain cells to weigh the possibility of getting rid of Elder Qingrong.

Fortunately, Elder Qingrong patted Baili Qingmiao on the head and said, "And I know Elder Qingxue does not actually wish to take me as disciple, but was only impressed by Qingmiao's talent and unable to pass her up. Qingmiao, it is your great fortune that Elder Qingxue wishes to transmit her teachings to you, so there is no need to reject it. It would be awkward if she wanted you to become her sworn disciple, but as a nominal disciple, there's no problem."

"Mm, that's fine," said Qingxue.

Thus Baili Qingmiao entered seclusion with Elder Qingxue and rapidly reached Nascent Soul stage, becoming the rising star of Shangqing Sect's next generation.

She wanted to visit her shixiong too, but Elder Qingxue was much more powerful than her and had set a barrier around their cultivation grounds, telling Baili Qingmiao that she wasn't leaving until she could break it with her own power.

For the sake of seeing her shixiong, Baili Qingmiao dedicated herself to cultivating and made progress at breakneck speed, absorbing techniques and teachings like a sponge.

Wenren È: ...

He flipped a few more pages, but the rest of the story was identical to the original, the two halves not matching up.

The last page had gained several more reviews, however.

[Extra, extra, the legendary trash novel writer has returned from the dead, and started a revision!]

[Me before reading the revision: Can this braindead story actually be revised? Probably just fixing typos. Me after reading the revision: Good shit!]

[Elder Qingxue is so badass! 'Between a wandering immortal and a disciple who's lost his Nascent Soul, everyone knows who deserves to be saved, where do you get the nerve to compare yourself to me?' That line killed me, hahaha!]

[Don't you guys think this Elder Qingxue's appearance is too sudden? The MC originally should've saved the Demon Lord, but instead Wenren È got an earlier debut, and without a debt to the MC he didn't care if she lived or died. Instead Elder Qingxue took his place and started putting down the male lead for her. I suspect that Elder Qingxue is a man in disguise. Look at her description, she's half a head taller than Baili Qingmiao. Seems suspicious to me!]

[After seeing the above post, I suddenly want to see Elder Qingxue take off her clothes to be revealed to be bigger than the male lead, haha!]

[Don't be so hopeful, you guys! Back when the MC saved Qingxue, she saw her body and she was definitely a woman. And besides, worst case the author could be setting up a storyline where the ML takes Qingxue into his harem, Qingxue and the MC become rivals, master and disciple turn on each other, and the author can torture the female lead even worse.]

[Well, from what we have so far, the revised story is pretty decent. I'll wait and see.]

It seemed the changes made in this world would be reflected in the novel in the form of revisions. And the viewpoint was very limited, only focusing on Baili Qingmiao. Baili Qingmiao knew nothing about Wenren È's blood cultivation or Yin Hanjiang reaching Void Boundary stage, so the book said nothing about it.
