After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 356 failed.

Seeing how happy Aunt Lu was, Lin Liuyi felt that his sales trip hadn't been in vain.

Just as she was feeling grateful, the system notified her that there was another reward!

"Get rich! These must be chicken feathers!" Lin Liuyi held the two feathers in his hand, lost in thought.

Trading chicken feathers for sugar? Or are the readers just too poor this time?

On the Azure Continent, Meng Nanxi looked at the little chick standing in front of her, and then at the summoning diagram she had drawn.

That's right!

She drew this diagram based on a diagram, and she even used expensive star sand as the material. But what's going on here?

The star-studded pattern on the bluestone slab was fading, and cold sweat seeped from Meng Nanxi's palms.

A murmur of snickers came from the audience. The three elders of Tianyuan Sect shook their heads in unison. The white-bearded elder lightly touched the tip of his pen, about to cross her name off the roster.

"Wait!" Meng Nanxi suddenly called out to the elder. This was a test for summoners. If she failed to summon the divine beast, she would be kicked out of the ranks of the core disciples of the Tianyuan Sect.

She bit her finger hard and, using her own blood as an aid, drew a small summoning circle. She refused to believe that she couldn't summon a high-level divine beast by risking her life.

The star array suddenly roared amidst the blood, and Meng Nanxi's originally gloomy face suddenly shone with hope.

The crowd stirred, with some standing up and craning their necks to look inside, trying to see what exactly had been summoned.

"Could Meng Nanxi have actually succeeded?"

"It's possible. After all, the elders predicted that Meng Nanxi is the most likely candidate to contract the divine beast, the Undying Phoenix!"

"Tch, with her level of skill, she probably bribed the elders to fabricate a prophecy and inflate her own value!"

"That's possible. I heard that as long as Meng Nanxi successfully summons the Undying Phoenix, the Tianyuan Sect Master will groom her to be the young sect master!"

"If Meng Nanxi really succeeds, she'll be so arrogant she'll be looking down on everyone!"

To be honest, because Meng Nanxi was usually too arrogant in the Tianyuan Sect, most of the disciples present actually hoped that her summoning would fail.

"Foolish! If Meng Nanxi successfully summons the Undying Phoenix, then the strength of our Tianyuan Sect will surely rise to another level, and the Qinglan Continent will surely be led by the Tianyuan Sect!" Some disciples also disdained those despicable acts and hoped that Meng Nanxi could successfully summon it.

"Not necessarily. I heard that a disciple of Jade Pavilion has already summoned the Azure Dragon!"

Some disciples disagreed and muttered their objections in hushed tones.

Meng Nanxi paid no attention to the disciples' words; she was now focused on the summoning array.

The light emanating from the formation grew stronger and stronger, and a powerful pressure suddenly emanated from within it.

The overwhelming pressure instantly knocked all the disciples present to the ground, and even Meng Nanxi could not withstand it and knelt down.

A phoenix figure seemed to slowly condense within the formation, and Meng Nanxi was overjoyed. She knew she could do it!

Just when everyone thought the figure would become clearer, they heard a clear, ethereal whistling sound. The body made of clouds and mist suddenly dissipated, and the oppressive aura vanished instantly, revealing the stardust below that had lost its luster.

"It failed!" Meng Nanxi could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

Some of those present breathed a sigh of relief, while others felt a pang of regret. Meng Nanxi, on the other hand, felt utterly despondent.

The white-bearded elder quickly crossed out Meng Nanxi's name from the roster and announced, "Meng Nanxi's summoning failed; she is demoted to an ordinary inner disciple of the Tianyuan Sect!"

"Chirp chirp!" The chirping of the chicks woke Meng Nanxi. "Right, right, and you too, aren't you the Undying Phoenix? Say something!"

Meng Nanxi grabbed the chick and shook it vigorously until the chick became dizzy and disoriented.

"Meng Nanxi! Get down here!"

Seeing the elder's expression of "Don't embarrass yourself here," Meng Nanxi wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, picked up the chick, and returned to the viewing area.

"Ha, someone got slapped in the face, didn't they! Not the Divine Phoenix yet, I think it's just a little chick!"

"Say less!" The person who spoke was pulled by his companion. Seeing Meng Nanxi's distraught appearance, he finally stopped mocking her.

"Hurry! It's Song Shiwei's turn!"

"I wonder what Junior Sister Shiwei will be able to summon this time?"

Meng Nanxi snapped out of her reverie upon hearing Song Shiwei's name. She knew this junior sister; all the fellow disciples liked her.

They said Song Shiwei was kind-hearted, gentle, and generous, while they themselves were arrogant, domineering, and inconsiderate of their fellow disciples, saying they couldn't even compare to a single finger of Song Shiwei.

However, who wants to compare with fingers? She only wants to summon the strongest divine beast and make her name, Meng Nanxi, resound throughout the Qinglan Continent!

Thinking of this, she paused again, guessing that her wish to have her name resound throughout the continent was about to be fulfilled.

Throughout the entire Qinglan Continent, everyone should know that Meng Nanxi of the Tianyuan Sect failed in her summoning attempt and only managed to summon a little chick!

Looking at the little yellow chick in her hand, Meng Nanxi stroked it; its fluffy fur felt quite nice to the touch.

Sigh, why isn't it a phoenix?

Hey, don't bite my clothes! That's not food! You little idiot!

After finally managing to snatch her clothes back from the chick's beak, Meng Nanxi realized that everyone was cheering!

"Junior Sister Shi Wei is amazing! She's actually a Windwing White Tiger!" A burst of exclamations erupted from the crowd.

Meng Nanxi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then looked at the center of the stage, where she saw Song Shiwei standing in the summoning array with a gentle yet firm look in her eyes. She gently stroked the white tiger's head, and the white tiger obediently lay down beside her.

The audience applauded, praising Song Shiwei's performance.

Watching this scene, Meng Nanxi felt a mix of emotions, both happy for Song Shiwei's success and disappointed by her own failure.

"Song Shiwei, summon the Windwing White Tiger! Advance to the core disciple of Tianyuan Sect!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Nanxi tightened her grip on the chick, only to be pecked by it, causing her a sharp pain before she released her grip.

"I'm sorry, little chick!" she apologized softly, her mood sinking further.

Meng Nanxi lost interest in watching any longer. She took the chicks back to her residence, lay on the bed, and tried to clear her mind. She didn't even feel like healing, letting the chicks hop around on the bed. "How could this happen?"

She, Meng Nanxi, always considered herself a genius of the Qinglan Continent. Born into the Meng family, a family of summoners, she couldn't even compare to Song Shiwei, who came from a commoner background. Meng Nanxi's Dao heart began to crack.

Unexpectedly, the book sent by the system arrived at this moment, shimmering with golden light before Meng Nanxi's eyes.

Hmm? Golden light!

Meng Nanxi sat up abruptly. It was true; she wasn't seeing things!

She knew she was a chosen one, and could not be defeated!

Just then, the chick seemed to have noticed the golden light and hopped over. As Meng Nanxi was about to open the book, the chick pecked at her.
