In her past life, this very thing had happened at this time.
However, in the previous life, Shen Qing had forcefully used her spiritual power to heal some of her wounds and cover up the scars on her body before coming to the medicine hall. But this had also left her with a hidden ailment.
The disciple in the medicine hall also said there were no spiritual pills. Shen Qing pleaded desperately, asking the disciple to give her just a part of them.
But seeing Shen Qing so weak, the disciple in the medicine hall became even more aggressive and started to slander her.
He accused her of bullying the miscellaneous disciples, being rude, and trying to take the spiritual pills of the inner - sect disciples.
This aroused the dissatisfaction of all the disciples in the medicine hall. Under those condemning looks, Shen Qing almost fled in embarrassment.
Later, her wounds weren't treated in time, and she developed a chronic illness. Her cultivation had been stuck at the Foundation - Building stage ever since.
This time, Shen Qing didn't care about all these things.
She loudly demanded, "If there's a reservation, where's the register? Where's the proof? Do you think others will just believe your baseless words?!"
In the world of cultivating immortals, resources were scarce. Only the direct disciples of the great sects could get more resources.
Even so, there were still some rare spiritual pills that needed to be reserved in advance.
If someone made a reservation, the disciple in the medicine hall would record it in the register and issue a certificate to avoid conflicts.
Under Shen Qing's questioning, the disciple in the medicine hall's face instantly turned pale, and he stammered without being able to say a word.
Of course, he had no proof or register. He had just suddenly decided to make things difficult for Shen Qing. How could he have had time to prepare these?
Now, he was on the verge of tears.
Wasn't it said that Shen Qing was timid and afraid of causing trouble? Then who was this person standing in front of him, confronting him despite being injured?
"Junior Sister Shen... I made a mistake. There are still spiritual pills. I'll give them to you right away."
Under Shen Qing's angry glare and the confused looks of the surrounding disciples, the disciple in the medicine hall quickly handed the spiritual pills to her.
After Shen Qing confirmed that none of the pills were missing, she slowly left.
The disciple in the medicine hall let out a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Now he finally understood that even a fallen direct disciple was still a direct disciple. How could he insult her at will?
Judging from Shen Qing's appearance, she didn't seem to plan to pursue the matter. He secretly rejoiced that he had escaped this disaster.
But the disciple in the medicine hall didn't expect that this matter would soon be reported to the elder of the medicine hall by someone else.
Within a few days, his position was taken over by another miscellaneous disciple from the outer sect.
In the world of cultivating immortals, even the position of a miscellaneous disciple was coveted by many. One couldn't afford to make a single mistake.
But Shen Qing didn't know about this.
After getting the pills, all she could think about was to quickly return to her small courtyard to recuperate.
If she delayed any longer, her Dao foundation would be damaged, and she would end up in the same situation as in her past life.
Shen Qing opened the bag, took out the appropriate spiritual pills, fumbled around for a while, and then swallowed them whole.
Under the current circumstances, she couldn't be picky.
After swallowing the spiritual pills, she felt a warm current flowing through her body.
With the help of the spiritual pills, Shen Qing immediately sat cross - legged to meditate and began to breathe in and out, mobilizing the surrounding spiritual power to nourish her Dao foundation.
Three days later, Shen Qing exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and opened her eyes.
Her injuries were too severe. These low - level spiritual pills were not enough to restore her Dao foundation. It seemed that she had to find another way.
During these days of meditation, Shen Qing also复盘 what had happened in her mind.
It should have been not long after Lin Yibai was seriously injured in the secret realm. Although the True Person Heng Ling suspected that Shen Qing was related to Lin Yibai's serious injury, there was no evidence after all.
But when Lin Yibai was seriously injured, only Shen Qing was around. Moreover, everyone believed Lin Yibai's ambiguous words.
There were also rumors in the sect that Shen Qing had bullied Lin Yibai many times in the sect, relying on her status as the junior sister.
Now, everyone was convinced that Shen Qing was jealous of Lin Yibai and had even viciously tried to get rid of her in the secret realm.
After that secret - realm incident, Shen Qing's life in the sect had become a living hell.
In her past life, Shen Qing didn't understand why Lin Yibai had said those words. She had never done those things. But now, having lived through it again, Shen Qing understood.
She was the so - called vicious female supporting character and had to bear some malice. Even if these accusations were baseless and no one could prove their authenticity, others would only believe the kind - hearted protagonist.
A cold glint flashed in Shen Qing's eyes. This time, she would never let Lin Yibai's conspiracy succeed.
Bang!
Suddenly, a loud noise exploded beside Shen Qing's ear. The powerful impact caught her off guard, and her ears were filled with a continuous ringing.
Her room door was smashed from the outside. The fragments of the wooden door scratched across Shen Qing's face, leaving small bloodstains.
Coldness glinted in Shen Qing's eyes, and she felt nothing but annoyance in her heart.
One after another, they just wouldn't let her have any peace.
For a moment, Shen Qing even had the idea of fighting them to the death.
As the smoke cleared, a young man in a blue shirt, holding a sword, stood in the courtyard. His cold and handsome features swept across the messy courtyard, and a sneer curled up on his lips.
Seeing Shen Qing slowly appear, he sized her up from head to toe.
In the past few days, he had heard that Shen Qing, injured, had gone to the medicine hall to get the spiritual pills and had been harassed by a disciple there. But in the end, that disciple had been expelled from the outer sect.
He had thought it was a big deal, but now, wasn't Shen Qing standing here perfectly fine?
It seemed that Shen Qing was bullying others again with her power.
The young man thought to himself self - righteously, and his gaze towards Shen Qing was tinged with condemnation.
"Aren't you Senior Brother Five? What brings you to my courtyard?"
Looking at the young man who somewhat resembled her in appearance, Shen Qing couldn't help but sneer, "Didn't you say you wanted to draw a clear line from me so that others wouldn't find out about our relationship?"
The young man frowned, and his voice carried a hint of warning, "Do you think I want to come? I just heard that you went to the medicine hall to get the spiritual pills yourself. There's a Gu Yuan Pill among this month's pills. Give it to me."
"Junior Sister Xiaobai is seriously injured. She surely needs the Gu Yuan Pill to heal her wounds."
Shen Qing was filled with anger and really wanted to step forward and slap him hard.
Her senior brother, Shen Chuyun, was actually her twin brother. Although they were fraternal twins, they didn't look very similar.
If others didn't look closely, they probably wouldn't even think that they were related by blood.
In her past life, she had used half of her spiritual bones to exchange for Shen Chuyun's chance to enter the Qingyun Sword Sect.
But when Shen Qing finally managed to come to the Qingyun Sword Sect with great difficulty, her brother had taken the opportunity when no one was around to seriously warn her not to reveal their relationship to others.
It was because Shen Qing had been judged to have three spiritual roots and had extremely poor cultivation talent, and Shen Chuyun was ashamed of her.
In order to cultivate, Shen Qing had narrowly escaped death many times to obtain the Marrow - Washing Grass that could reshape her spiritual roots, but it had been snatched away by Shen Chuyun and given to Lin Yibai.
The reason was that Shen Qing was a person with three spiritual roots, which was far inferior to Lin Yibai's top - grade water spiritual roots. So it wasn't worth using this thing on her!
Over the years, Shen Chuyun had never set foot in her small courtyard. Now, he had come just to snatch the pills for Lin Yibai.
Blood is thicker than water? It was nothing compared to an unrelated junior sister.
"No."
After saying that, Shen Qing turned around and was about to go back into the room.
But Shen Chuyun seemed to be deeply humiliated and released his aura.
Shen Chuyun was already at the mid - stage of the Golden Core realm, while after being injured, Shen Qing's cultivation had dropped to the early stage of the Foundation - Building realm. She was no match for Shen Chuyun at all.
Under the pressure of his aura, Shen Qing almost knelt on the ground.
"Say that again. Will you give it or not?!"
