My Daily Cultivation Life with a Clumsy Female Disciple

A rare fourth-rank ghoul spider's venom gland was the little gift Li Shiyin brought back for Qin Ran this time when she went out.

Qin Ran was very happy and treasured the venom gland like a precious treasure. Whenever he took out some venom to do research, he was extremely cautious and reluctant to take out too much.

And when Long Qiqi wanted to borrow some venom to take a look, he also refused her on the pretext that she had a heavy cold.

On this day, Qin Ran was researching the ghoul spider venom in the building when Tian Wenjin came from Dan Peak to say that the Butler Hall had asked her and Li Shiyin to go to Master Peak to collect the reward for their mission.

It had been five days since they completed the handover of their mission, and it would take about this long for the Butler Hall to send people to Mount Dashan to check the situation.

Hearing this, Li Shiyin was very happy, because this counted as the first official reward she had earned from the time she was a commoner to the time she became a cultivator...she didn't count the money she got from fighting in the arena.

"What will the reward be?" On the way to Master Peak, the excited Li Shiyin asked Tian Wenjin.

"If calculated based on a fourth-rank mission..." Tian Wenjin also cared about this money, but her Merciless Sword Heart had advanced further, and her face no longer revealed any emotion. She said flatly, "The reward should match ten thousand Spirit Stones."

"Ten thousand Spirit Stones..." Li Shiyin had already started daydreaming, "How much delicious food can that buy?!" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

But when they arrived at Butler Hall, they realized that things didn't seem to be as they had imagined. Because the current layout of Butler Hall was not like they were going to pay them their mission reward, but rather to interrogate them!

Inside Butler Hall, all the service windows had already been closed. But there were still many people in the hall. They stood on both sides of the hall, all Dao Sword Sect members, either elders or disciples, men or women, old or young. All standing respectfully.

And in the middle, directly opposite the entrance of Butler Hall, there was a chair, and a woman sitting on it.

With just one look, it was clear that this woman was not to be trifled with.

Her appearance was maintained at around thirty years old, an elegant and graceful mature figure. But looking at her face, there was not a trace of a mature woman's gentleness. Instead, it exuded a domineering aura.

The face may have been quite beautiful originally, but now there was a vertical scar on the left side, probably from a sword wound, which ruined the beauty of the whole face. Her eyes were always narrowed, making her look fierce, turning her eyes into triangles.

She was a fierce and domineering woman.

"Who's this?" Li Shiyin glanced around the hall and hadn't reacted yet. She asked Tian Wenjin, "Did we go to the wrong place?"

Before Tian Wenjin could answer, the woman sitting on the chair spoke first, "You, are Li Shiyin?"

Although it was a woman's voice, it was extremely low and husky, exerting invisible pressure.

Now that her own name had been called out and looking at the setup here, Li Shiyin realized something was wrong. She looked at the woman sitting on the chair and responded in a deep voice, "I am indeed Li Shiyin. May I ask who you are?"

The woman seemed to have heard a joke and sneered, "You've been at Dao Sword Sect for a year and don't even recognize me? No wonder you would do something so stupid!"

Hearing this, Li Shiyin looked to Tian Wenjin, but saw that Tian Wenjin also shook her head imperceptibly, clearly she didn't recognize this woman who had appeared out of nowhere either.

Seeing the clueless looks on their faces, a perceptive person next to them immediately flattered the woman, mocking them, "To think she's one of the new Top Ten Geniuses! She doesn't even recognize Yao Qingke, the strongest female disciple of Dao Sword Sect, ranked top three on the Genius Ranking List. The moral values of the world are declining, each generation of Dao Sword Sect disciples is worse than the last!"

Immediately there was quite a commotion in the hall, with people saying nice things about the woman sitting on the chair and mean things about Li Shiyin.

Listening carefully, Li Shiyin understood the identity of the woman sitting on the chair. Adopting Qin Ran's way of thinking to extract key points, they were respectively: Qi Peak, He Daoguang's disciple, Song Ze's senior martial sister, number three on the Top Ten Geniuses List, Golden Core late stage cultivation level, overbearing and eccentric personality.

So she understood how this situation had arisen...it was nothing more than Qi Peak finding an opportunity to make trouble and Song Ze saving face.

"So it turns out to be Senior Sister Yao in person!" Li Shiyin clasped her hands slightly, then asked, "May I ask what business Senior Sister Yao has?"

"I heard you took on a level one mission with the content being to kill a level one demonic beast Rat Catching Ghoul Spider." On Yao Qingke's hideous face was a hint of a smile as she gently asked.

"Yes." Li Shiyin nodded. The original mission description was indeed like this.

"But when you handed over the mission, you said this level one mission should have actually been a level four mission."

"Right!" Li Shiyin said, "Because the original level one Rat Catching Ghoul Spider had become a level four Ghoul Spider!"

"Ha... Hahaha!" The smile on Yao Qingke's face suddenly spread, making the scar even more hideous. She said coldly, "Good for you, Li Shiyin, to actually be so sharp-tongued, bold and reckless, unscrupulous, and devoid of human nature!"

Li Shiyin was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to make of these remarks about her.

And taking advantage of her distraction, Yao Qingke went on, "You vile, petty woman. In order to cheat rewards from the sect, you went to find some dubious ghoul spider from the Boundless Mountains as substitute, and had no qualms about cruelly killing one hundred and thirty two villagers in Dashan Village, among whom were many elderly, women, and children! Your methods are cruel beyond compare!!"

Her dangerous triangular eyes stared at Li Shiyin as she shouted fiercely, "Well? Is that about right?!"

Twisting facts, fabricating stories, falsely accusing! Li Shiyin understood Yao Qingke's words, so in an instant she felt wronged and angry.

"No!" Facing the oppression of Yao Qingke's late Golden Core cultivation level, she shouted angrily, "The villagers of Dashan Village were killed by the Ghoul Spider!"

"Ghoul Spider?" Yao Qingke laughed disdainfully, "Still quibbling! Everyone knows the ghoul spider is just an ordinary venomous bug, not a demon! How could it kill people? You foolish thing, when looking for a level four demonic beast corpse you just had to claim it to be a ghoul spider! Simply cruel and foolish!!"

"The ghoul spider has the ability to devour souls. It turned into a level four demonic beast after killing creatures tainted by the Extreme Demonic Weeping Willow! That is a level four ghoul spider!" Despite having gained some wisdom, the still naive Li Shiyin tried to explain.

"I want you to admit wholeheartedly!" Yao Qingke pointed at Li Shiyin from afar and said.

With a gesture from her, a man came up, opened his universe bag, and placed the human-sized ghoul spider corpse in the center of the hall.

Li Shiyin looked at the man, who was precisely the servant disciple from when she handed over the mission that day.

That servant disciple took another object out of his universe bag, which was an ordinary palm-sized ghoul spider.

The two ghoul spiders were placed side by side in the center of the hall, one huge and one tiny poisonous bug.

Yao Qingke gestured at the two ghoul spiders and asked the crowd, "The two ghoul spiders are both adults. Dear friends, are they the same species?!"

"No!" The crowd in the hall shook their heads.

"Are you all blind?!" Li Shiyin couldn't believe it. "They obviously look the same, it's just one is big and one is small!"

"Still struggling in desperation!" Yao Qingke said. "The ghoul spider captures prey using venom. But this unknown big spider has no venom glands at all! Can the ghoul spider discard the venom it relies on for survival after becoming bigger?!"

"It has venom glands!" Li Shiyin looked at the servant disciple. "It's just that..."

It's just that she took them out. But she knew she shouldn't say that.

"Just what?" Yao Qingke sneered.

"It is a ghoul spider!!" Li Shiyin said.

"The evidence is irrefutable. I don't want to hear your quibbling anymore!" Yao Qingke shouted. "Someone come, deprive this wicked and unfilial disciple of her cultivation and expel her from the sect!!"
