Before, Ning Zhishui casually called others "senior brother" in the sect. That was regardless of her identity as the great elder's disciple, and it was based on age, so the title "senior brother" was just a general term.

After all, if we really go by seniority, the Great Elder is too high, so the disciples of the same age as Ning Zhishui are either her nephews, or one or even several generations younger... She can't call them that at all.

If she really shouted it out everywhere, others would think she was provocative or ostentatious.

But it’s different now. Since the master has already spoken, it’s only natural for me to call Jiao Cheng his nephew.

After Ning Zhishui finished shouting, the faces of Jiao's mother and son turned gloomy at the same time.

"Haha, you are indeed a very clever child. Senior Sister came in a hurry and didn't prepare any special gifts. You can keep these talismans for your use."

Jiao Yue said this with a forced smile, looking very reluctant. She casually took out a few talismans and placed them in front of Ning Zhishui, not to mention being perfunctory.

Like sending away a beggar.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Jiao. But it just so happens that I didn't prepare any gift for my nephew. So why not give this to him? Since it's my Senior Sister's, I don't think he will mind."

Ning Zhishui said this with a smile, then pointed his finger at the talisman and pushed it to Jiao Cheng who was standing beside him on the table.

Well, that's also perfunctory.

If the gift from Jiao Yue was presentable and what Ning Zhishui needed, she could simply ignore her attitude and take advantage of it.

But these talismans... she really doesn't like them.

Jiao Cheng looked at the talisman that was pushed back and forth until it was in front of him. He was so angry that his face turned red and he stood up in an instant, "Who do you think you are? You are just—"

"Jiao Cheng! Stop being rude!"

Jiao Yue's expression changed and she quickly shouted.

Jiao Cheng gritted his teeth and said nothing more. Jiao Yue forced a smile, stood up and said, "Please don't blame me, Uncle Master. It's Jiao Yue's fault for not parenting well. I will give him a severe reprimand when I get back. I won't bother you today. I'll come visit you another day."

After saying that, he pulled the reluctant Jiao Cheng away.

Ning Zhishui looked at the Great Elder, "Master, did I offend Senior Sister Jiao just now?"

"It's okay, he's not that important."

The Great Elder said casually, "Have you had any difficulties in your cultivation these past two days?"

The Great Elder was very concerned about this little disciple, but he was also a little flustered and didn't know where to start.

He only had two apprentices in total. The previous apprentice was accepted many years ago. At that time, he had no experience and his teachings were very disorganized. Fortunately, the eldest apprentice had a strong ability to understand and learned everything he needed to learn.

However, the situation of the younger disciple was different from that of the older disciple. When the older disciple first started, he knew nothing about refining equipment, but the younger disciple knew a lot.

Well, quite a lot!

After much thought, I decided that for Ning Zhishui's situation, it would be better to let her practice on her own and come to me whenever she has any problems.

I don't know if she can adapt to this method...

"No, Master, everything is going well here." Ning Zhishui said.

The Great Elder couldn't help but frown in distress and stroked his mustache with his hand.

The smoother things go, the more helpless he feels.

"How about this, go back and read these books one by one, and don't stop refining your weapons. If you encounter any questions along the way, come and ask me, don't try to figure it out on your own."

He took out the newly prepared books and gave them all to Ning Zhishui.

Among them are not only those he collected from the library, but also some of his own notes on his experience in learning to refine weapons.

Things are rather messy, but this is exactly what suits Ning Zhishui, who has a relatively good foundation, as it makes it easier for her to find and fill in the gaps.

Otherwise, if I teach her from the beginning, it will waste her time.

"Understood, Master."

Ning Zhishui accepted them all and agreed readily.

There is no such thing as too many good books. There is no guarantee that there will be some unpopular knowledge in these books of the Xianlai Sect.

Ning Zhishui is not so arrogant as to think that she knows everything in the world. Learning is endless.

If she had not entered the inner sect and had not had the great elder's care, she would probably never have had the chance to see these books.

Ning Zhishui did not ask her master about the mother and son of the Jiao family. From her question about whether she had offended Senior Sister Jiao, one could tell the Great Elder's attitude towards the two of them.

Not worth mentioning.

After collecting the books, Ning Zhishui went out.

Go soak the Tou Yusi in water!

Ning Zhishui did not go to the same place as yesterday, but changed another one.

It would have been fine if she had just run into that young couple yesterday, but she was afraid that the place was their dating base. If she ran into them from time to time, Ning Zhishui would be miserable.

After finding a good place this time, Ning Zhishui soaked in the jade silk while reading a book.

Not to mention, it’s quite comfortable to read outside. Although it’s quieter in the cave, the wind and fresh air outside are more pleasant.

Two male disciples passed by and seemed to be going to fight in an open and deserted place. After seeing Ning Zhishui, they looked at her twice.

I guess she thinks her behavior is weird.

Why are you reading books by the river instead of practicing well in your sect?

However, although they were curious, they did not ask any questions, but just walked past quietly.

Ning Zhishui had no other reaction except looking up. When the time was up, she packed up her things and returned to the sect.

The round-faced female cultivator was already extremely impatient and was pacing anxiously in the cave.

After walking back and forth for who knows how many times, he finally felt his spiritual light ball being poked.

She almost jumped up with excitement, and when she looked, she saw that the other party had responded!

Ning Zhishui didn't expect that someone was actually interested in his magic weapon. It seems that it is feasible without adding points. The purchasing power of the disciples of Xianlai Sect is quite good.

The other party was anxious to buy it, and after Ning Zhishui learned that she was also in the sect, he made an appointment with her to meet at the mountain gate.

"...Is being invincible really lonely?"

"It's me, you are Tushan Xiaohua?"

"Yes, that's my real name." Tushan Xiaohua had a round face, quite cute, and her canine teeth were exposed when she smiled. "Um, can I try Feng Luozan?"

Tushan Xiaohua was very confused as to why a little girl like Ning Zhishui was given such a name, but she didn't have much time left and had to get busy with her business first.

I don’t know how long the Feng Luo hairpin will take effect. If it’s too short, it will be troublesome.

"Can."

Ning Zhishui nodded and handed the hairpin over.

Tushan Xiaohua frowned when she saw this magical instrument...

It is really too simple, just a simple jade hairpin.

No wonder it is said to be suitable for both men and women. There is not even a flower on it. It is so simple that it cannot be simpler.

As soon as she saw its appearance, Tushan Xiaohua felt a tightness in her heart and a chill in her heart.

But since I'm here, I might as well give it a try first.

Tushan Xiaohua gritted her teeth, urged it on, and then ran forward holding it.
