Chapter 6 Yantian (VI) She secretly made up her mind...
In Yantian Sect, Chi Wanyin finished her meditation and stood up from the couch in the wooden house. She first applied spiritual energy to the golden flowers in the porcelain vase beside her.
The flowers that had been drooping a little suddenly became full of vitality again.
Only then did Chi Wanyin breathe a sigh of relief and continue with her cultivation for the day. It had been five years since she arrived at Yantian Sect, and she had already learned most of the techniques required for the Foundation Establishment stage. She was now quite adept at using the peach wood sword.
However, even so, Chi Wanyin still had some worries.
For example, alchemy and talisman writing were not her forte, but Yantian Sect always required her to be assessed in these two areas. Only when she felt that she had practiced enough for the day did she go out to Tingyue Peak.
All the disciples of Yantian Sect were like this, practicing in the morning and attending classes in the afternoon. Chi Wanyin arrived a little late, and all the good seats were taken.
As she was hesitating, she saw Xu Yunting waving at her, as if indicating that he could sit next to her.
Chi Wanyin thought about it before walking towards Xu Yunting.
After everyone was seated, Elder Lu came to give the lecture.
Elder Lu is a great master of talismans, so it is more than enough for him to teach these disciples who have just started.
With her Nascent Soul cultivation, Lu Qiyue could naturally see Chi Wanyin at a glance. However, even though she was the master's disciple, she did not intend to give her a break in future assessments. After all, everyone knew that she was famous for being impartial and fair.
After the class, Lu Qiyue left, and the others also left. However, Chi Wanyin did not intend to leave, and the same was true for Xu Yunting, who was kind enough to "take her in."
Xu Yunting's talent can only be considered above average. Since the end of the entry trial, she has become a disciple of Elder Ye at Chuyun Peak. However, she has not yet officially started learning alchemy and is still practicing various basic methods.
"I originally thought you wouldn't come to class." Xu Yunting said to her while they were learning to draw talismans.
"I was delayed for a while some time ago." Chi Wanyin didn't expect that she was still concerned about him, a person she had just met by chance.
Drawing talismans requires a smooth and seamless process, but Xu Yunting always lacks the necessary pace. After wasting three sheets of talisman paper, she couldn't help but sigh, "Perhaps, I'm simply not suited to cultivating immortality."
Under Chi Wanyin's slightly confused gaze, Xu Yunting explained, "I was born in a family in the Mortal Realm. My elder sister was chosen by the Immortal Sect and left. I have always followed her example and wanted to enter the Immortal Sect to practice magic."
After hearing this, Chi Wanyin replied, "How do you know you're not suitable for cultivation? There are no rules for cultivation. Besides, there are specializations in alchemy and talisman cultivation. You just need to find what you're good at."
Xu Yunting stared at her in amazement. "Your words remind me of my sister. You should be able to get along with her. After all, she encouraged me in the same way before she left."
Chi Wanyin stopped talking and just took the red brush and talisman paper that everyone in the class had and started drawing talismans.
When she finished drawing on the whole stack of talisman papers and blew dry the ink on the last sheet, she found that the talisman drawn by Xu Yunting was better than before, but there were still some awkwardness.
"That's not how you draw talismans." Chi Wanyin couldn't help but remind him, "You have to carefully feel the spirit in each stroke." After that, she took the red brush and demonstrated to Xu Yunting. When Xu Yunting saw the momentum of that stroke, he felt that it seemed to be different from his own.
"Thank you very much." Xu Yunting thanked her. He didn't expect that Chi Wanyin, as the master's disciple, was not so arrogant. After all, no one had ever been willing to teach her these things before.
Chi Wanyin also knew that cultivation required indifference to relationships, after all, even close family ties had to be severed. Facing a classmate like Xu Yunting who had average talent and no qualifications for cultivation, it was rare for her not to add insult to injury.
While Xu Yunting was speaking, Chi Wanyin had already finished writing a talisman. Xu Yunting looked at it carefully, trying to figure out the true meaning, but in the end he couldn't figure it out. "How about we go to the dining hall first?" After all, the world is big, and eating is the most important thing.
Chi Wanyin also thought this was a good idea, so the two of them hit it off, packed up the remaining things and went straight to the cafeteria.
*
Even though the two of them arrived late, there was still a lot of food in the dining hall. After all, apart from the outer disciples, there were only a few people coming here.
After the two of them prepared the food, they naturally sat together, but most of the time Xu Yunting was talking while Chi Wanyin was eating. Chi Wanyin had been hungry for two lifetimes, so she had an almost pious feeling about food. Thinking about her previous life, she actually didn't need to eat after becoming a demon cultivator, but she still liked to collect various mortal foods to taste.
After finishing the meal, Chi Wanyin returned to the bamboo house on Liuyun Peak, while Xu Yunting returned to the disciple dormitory on Chuyun Peak. The two of them had no choice but to part ways, but before leaving, Xu Yunting said hello to her: "See you tomorrow."
So, Chi Wanyin also tried to respond, "See you tomorrow."
On the cliff not far away, Liu Qianhe folded his arms as he watched Chi Wanyin returning home. "I can finally rest assured now. Junior Sister Wanyin not only didn't get bullied, but she seems to have made some friends."
Song Qingtang, standing by, had a blank expression on his face and didn't respond. Liu Qianhe, accustomed to this, continued to speak on her own, "Are you jealous? This means you're no longer number one in Junior Sister Wanyin's heart?"
"No." Song Qingtang squeezed out two words. She has always been concise and only willing to say a few more words when facing her junior sister who doesn't understand.
Liu Qianhe stopped laughing and became serious, "However, you still have to be careful about the matter of Silver Moon Valley. Yin Xuechan has suffered a loss at the hands of you two, and she will definitely not let it go." Song Qingtang would naturally not hide anything from her, not to mention that Elder Ye had a close connection with Silver Moon Valley.
After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something, "By the way, Junior Sister Wanyin, this new friend, do you think she looks a bit like someone?"
"Who?" Song Qingtang had not thought of it, but when Liu Qianhe said the three words Xu Anzhi, her expression changed slightly. Xu Anzhi was the eldest disciple who defected from Yinyue Valley, and Yin Xuechan was also from Yinyue Valley. Could all this be a coincidence?
Seeing her frown, Liu Qianhe said, "Anyway, I will continue to investigate this matter. Besides, Yantian Sect is not a place Xu Anzhi can easily set foot in."
Song Qingtang sighed, "In fact, if Xu Anzhi hadn't defected from Silver Moon Valley, she would probably have become the head of Silver Moon Valley in the future."
Liu Qianhe was shocked. She knew that Song Qingtang never lied. To receive such an evaluation from her, Xu Anzhi must be a talented person among thousands.
Silver Moon Valley is famous for its poisons and the control of poisonous insects, but Liu Qianhe's eyes sparkled, "I really want to compete with her." However, Xu Anzhi is now a demon cultivator, and the two will definitely not hold back when they face off.
Chi Wanyin naturally didn't know about the conversation between the two. Because she had made friends, she was in a good mood. As soon as she returned to the bamboo house, she couldn't wait to start practicing again.
When she opened her eyes again, the moon was already at its highest point in the sky. Besides the rustling sound of bamboo leaves falling outside the house, Chi Wanyin keenly caught another kind of movement.
She immediately drew out her peach wood sword, took out the talisman paper from her storage bag and put it behind her back before going out.
Chi Wanyin finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the person coming was an immortal servant holding a lantern. However, the other party said, "The eldest sister wants to discuss something with you."
Chi Wanyin nodded slightly, then raised her head to signal him to lead the way, but she did not put down the peach wood sword, so when the immortal servant suddenly attacked her, she blocked it with the peach wood sword.
Dark energy emanated from the other person's eyes, and his voice hissed, "How did you find out?"
Chi Wanyin did not answer, but just kept attacking the immortal servant with the sword. The immortal servant was not good at fighting, and soon he had many scars on his body.
After he was defeated, Chi Wanyin placed the sword across his neck and asked, "Are you just testing me?"
There was no fear in the eyes of the immortal servant, or rather the person who controlled the immortal servant. "I know who you are. Staying in Yantian Sect will only waste your talent."
Chi Wanyin didn't want to listen to his nonsense anymore. Seeing that the fairy servant's limbs were bound by crystal silk threads, she cut them down immediately. The fairy servant lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
Chi Wanyin checked her breathing and found that she was only temporarily unconscious. However, she already had a guess in her mind about who was controlling the fairy servant.
This style of using others and hiding behind the scenes to manipulate everything was too familiar to her.
Moreover, this kind of evil art of manipulating people has always been listed as a forbidden art by the Immortal Alliance, and can only be learned by demon cultivators.
Thinking of this, Chi Wanyin couldn't help but recall what she said when she was talking to Yin Ruosu. Perhaps the person who was testing her was Xu Anzhi?
In her previous life, she had a close relationship with Xu Anzhi, but that was after she became a demon. In this life, she didn't want to be a demon cultivator anymore. Chi Wanyin was tired of the days of hiding and bloodthirsty, so the two of them stood on opposite sides.
Then it made sense for her to test Chi Wanyin. She must have caught her attention at some point.
Thinking of this, her heart became heavy. If Xu Anzhi were an ally, he might be considered a good ally, but as an opponent, he would be more difficult to deal with than Yin Ruosu.
But now she also knows that it is useless to think too much. She is still under the protection of Yantian Sect. Xu Anzhi certainly wouldn't dare to barge in so brazenly, otherwise he wouldn't have manipulated this fairy servant to test her.
Chi Wanyin looked at the peach wood sword in her hand, with a green glow coming out of the tip of the sword, and secretly decided that she must become stronger. Only in this way could she fight against Xu Anzhi and those evil cultivators.
