【Chapter 109】Going down the mountain for training
"Xiao Xin, how does your master treat you?" Ye Yisheng asked.
"Don't worry, big brother. Master treats me very well." Ye Yixin replied with a smile.
"Yisheng said that you became Ruan Fu's disciple as soon as you entered Chengshuang Sect. But I heard from a senior brother in the Alchemy Hall of Yunjue Palace that Ruan Fu has very high requirements for disciples, and those who don't have a top-grade wood spirit root are not worthy of his attention."
Nangong Chenyu asked curiously, "Xiao Xin, you probably didn't show any talent for alchemy at that time, so why would Ruan Fu accept you as his disciple?"
Speaking of this, Ye Yixin felt a little guilty. Under the inquiring gaze of her eldest brother and brother-in-law, she talked about the process of her apprenticeship.
"Before joining Chengshuang Sect, I asked Brother Jun to help me find out about all the famous alchemists in Lingyuan Continent."
"After eliminating them one by one, I set my sights on Master Ruan Fu. But I didn't expect that when I passed the Chengshuang Sect entrance test and chose a master, I found that Master Ruan Fu didn't show up."
“After asking, I found out that Master Ruan Fu had no intention of accepting a disciple.”
"In order to join Chengshuang Sect, I had missed the entrance tests of other sects. I knelt down and begged the sect master to let me meet Master Ruan Fu. When I saw him, I used my secret weapon to make Master helpless. In the end, he could only reluctantly agree to accept me as a registered disciple."
"After that, I spent three months getting my master to successfully promote me from a registered disciple to a closed disciple."
In the surprised and astonished eyes of the two, Ye Yixin continued: "I have a senior brother and a second senior sister above me, and they are also very good to me."
Ye Yisheng frowned: "What is the secret weapon you are talking about?"
He always felt that the secret weapon his younger sister mentioned was not a good thing, as he was able to make a respected alchemist compromise.
Blinking, Ye Yixin looked at Ye Yishen, and then at Nangong Chenyu. The two of them looked at her with the same puzzled expression, and she looked conflicted.
"You all want to know?"
Nangong Chenyu nodded. He was indeed a little curious.
Ye Yisheng said nothing, but his brows furrowed even more tightly.
Ye Yixin was unable to describe it, so she had to perform on the spot.
In an instant, Ye Yixin switched from smiling happily to crying.
The look in her eyes as she looked at the two of them revealed three parts of stubbornness, three parts of unwillingness to accept, one part of grievance, and three parts of frustration. The whole person's spirit seemed to be drained away, and there was a dead air all over him.
Ye Yishen and Nangong Chenyu were speechless when they understood the meaning of her eyes.
“So, your master reluctantly accepted you as a registered disciple after being persuaded by other elders and the sect master?” Nangong Chenyu guessed.
Ye Yixin immediately wiped away the tears in her eyes, and in the blink of an eye she was talking and laughing, and gave Nangong Chenyu a thumbs up: "Brother-in-law is really good, he guessed it right at once."
If she had not been there at the time, she would have doubted whether Nangong Chenyu was there.
Nangong Chenyu suddenly didn't know what to say.
How could his naive and stupid sister-in-law become such a black-hearted person? Playing tricks, acting like a white flower, and using moral blackmail!
If he were Ruan Fu, even if he reluctantly accepted Ye Yixin as a registered disciple, he would not teach her wholeheartedly. Not to mention promoting her to be his personal disciple, or even his last disciple.
Ye Yisheng had a complicated look in his eyes.
He felt a little sympathetic towards his little sister's master, who was schemed against by a thirteen-year-old girl. But as the eldest brother, he was happy that his younger sister had succeeded in becoming his disciple.
"Who did you learn this from?"
"Well...that...is...that..." Ye Yixin hesitated, his eyes wandering.
"Speak." Ye Yishen didn't let her confuse him.
"Hua Yueyi." Ye Yixin raised her chin and said with her neck stiff, "I learned this from Hua Yueyi. I saw her act like she was wronged and in tears every time. Even if it was clearly her fault, other people would not blame her but comfort her instead."
Ye Yisheng held his forehead with his hand: "You..."
"I use this trick to deal with those who have bad intentions towards me." After saying that, Ye Yixin added: "Except for becoming my disciple."
"Brother is not blaming you, you did a good job." Ye Yisheng sighed and rubbed Ye Yixin's head: "You have grown up and already know how to protect yourself."
It was a rare occasion for Ye Yixin to be praised by her elder brother, so she just giggled.
Ye Yisheng then asked: "Then what did you do to make your master accept you as a closed disciple from a registered disciple?"
"I didn't do anything, I just let Master know my talent for alchemy." Ye Yixin pointed at the Qiankun bag on the stone table: "These second-level pills are simple and easy to refine. Some of the second-level pills with high requirements are not made with my current cultivation level."
As soon as they entered the yard, Jun Han and Nangong Suhao heard Ye Yixin's next words. Both of them were a little surprised. After not seeing each other for more than a year, Ye Yixin turned out to be a second-level alchemist.
"Brother Nangong, Brother Jun." Ye Yixin stood up and called out.
Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng also called out, "Brother, Brother Jun."
Jun Han said, "Hmm," and said, "Sit down and talk."
Nangong Suhao smiled and said to Ye Yixin: "Xiao Xin, congratulations on becoming a second-level alchemist."
"I'm lucky, mainly because I have a good master." Ye Yixin touched his head embarrassedly.
Thinking of something, Jun Han suddenly asked, "Xiao Xin, you don't seem to be fifteen years old yet?"
Ye Yixin replied: "I am fourteen years old."
"You have a great talent for alchemy." Jun Han changed the subject: "Lingyuan Continent once produced a genius alchemist who could refine a second-level pill at the age of fifteen."
Although the other party didn't seem as good as herself, Ye Yixin couldn't help but ask: "Who is he?"
Jun Han: "It doesn't matter who he is. What matters is that the genius alchemist only appeared for a short time."
Ye Yixin: "Dead?"
Jun Han shook his head and gave four words: "Unknown whereabouts."
Several people subconsciously looked at Ye Yixin.
Ye Yixin: “…”
Ye Yisheng said seriously, "Xiao Xin, who knows that you can refine a second-level elixir?"
Ye Yixin: "Besides you, only Master knows. Master told me not to tell anyone."
Several people: “…” Then why did you tell us so carelessly!
Ye Yisheng: "That's good, we won't tell anyone. Follow your master's instructions, don't let anyone else know about this."
"Yeah." Ye Yixin nodded in agreement.
The atmosphere is a little heavy.
Nangong Chenyu changed the subject: "Brother, Brother Jun, Yisheng and I plan to go down the mountain to gain experience soon."
"Have you decided where to go? How long will you be gone?" Nangong Suhao asked.
Nangong Chenyu only said: "Look around, it will take at least three months."
Nangong Suhao nodded: "Okay! Be careful when you go out."
Jun Han glanced at Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yisheng, and added: "When necessary, reveal your identity as a disciple of Yunjue Palace, and most people will give you some face."
"good."
Nangong Chenyu took out two red boxes and placed them in front of Nangong Suhao and Jun Han respectively: "Brother, Brother Jun, this is a gift from Yisheng and I to you."
Nangong Suhao and Jun Han looked at each other, then picked up the box and opened it at the same time.
A rosary lay quietly in the box.
There are fourteen in total, one of which is red and the rest are light yellow.
There are words engraved on each rosary bead.
The moment Nangong Suhao took the rosary in his hand, he felt a coolness in his mind and all his fatigue was swept away.
He turned to Jun Han and said, "You try it."
Jun Han did as he was told.
Then he asked, "How many spiritual stones did you spend on these two rosaries?"
"We didn't provide the spiritual stones. The raw materials were provided by my father-in-law. Yisheng and I were responsible for making the things into prayer beads. The raw material of the red beads is the concentric stone. Drop your blood on it and you will recognize the master."
After a pause, Nangong Chenyu continued, "These two strings of prayer beads have the effect of warding off evil spirits, exorcising demons, and calming the mind."
"The gift is very good." Jun Han was obviously very satisfied.
"What are the words engraved on it?" Ye Yixin asked curiously, pointing at the rosary.
Jun Han was too embarrassed to recite, so he handed the rosary to Ye Yixin and let her read it herself.
Ye Yixin took the rosary and recited: "Happy marriage, become a Taoist couple; grow old together and love each other forever."
Nangong Suhao was not embarrassed and continued directly: "It is destined that we will be together for three lifetimes, and we will be together forever and travel the world together."
"Good sentence." Ye Yixin said that she had learned it.
"Brother Nangong, Brother Jun, I wish you will live together forever." Ye Yixin took out a jade box and placed it in front of Nangong Suhao and Jun Han.
"We appreciate your kindness, but there's no need for a gift." Nangong Suhao pushed the jade box back to Ye Yixin. He was really embarrassed to accept a gift from a little girl.
"I prepared this specially for you. It's not something precious." Ye Yixin pushed the jade box back.
"Brother, this is Xiaoxin's kind gift, just accept it!" Ye Yishen chimed in.
Unable to refuse, Nangong Suhao had to accept it.
"Thanks."
He opened the box and found two porcelain bottles inside.
"This is?"
He picked up the porcelain bottle and was about to open it to see what was inside, but Ye Yixin called out to him, "Wait a minute, Brother Nangong."
"Um... go back to your room and take a look." Ye Yixin blushed and gave Nangong Suhao and Jun Han an ambiguous smile.
Nangong Suhao: Suddenly I felt the porcelain bottle in my hand was a little hot.
When others heard Ye Yixin say this, they guessed that the porcelain bottle contained something serious.
For a moment, the atmosphere became extremely awkward.
“Ahem~” Jun Han coughed twice pretending to break the awkward atmosphere: “There are many spiritual herbs planted on Yunmiao Peak. Xiao Xin is now an alchemist, so it’s a good opportunity to practice with them.”
"Xiao Yu, Yi Sheng, take Xiao Xin to pick them."
"good."
Leaving the two newlyweds in the yard, the three of them left the courtyard.
Knowing Ye Yixin's alchemy level, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen picked most of the mature second-level spiritual herbs and gave them to her.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Yixin contacted Ruan Fu and learned that he would not leave Yunjue Palace until three days later. Ye Yixin spent one day refining the elixir, one day accompanying Qu Miaomiao to visit Yunjue Palace, and the last day going to the Yunjue Palace market with her eldest brother and brother-in-law to visit her father.
Three days passed in a flash.
After seeing Ye Yixin off, Nangong Chenyu and Ye Yishen went to the Mission Hall to receive five missions, and then went down the mountain to gain experience.
