Chapter 293: Having a Disciple Is Like Having a Family Member
She was also angry and sad, not because she was not seen by the sect leader, but because she felt that no matter how much she tried to please him, he would not like her.
She simply tried her best to improve her cultivation. She couldn't waste her talent, nor could she waste the kindness of the sect leader to them.
And now, all her efforts have not been in vain, the sect leader has seen her and wants to accept her as his personal disciple!
Tears welled up in Meng Qingying's eyes. She didn't know if it was because she was excited or something else, but she just wanted to cry.
Ren Han and the other three were a little envious. Although they were also disciples of their master, they were only nominal disciples and could not be compared with direct disciples.
However, they also knew the gap between themselves and Meng Qingying. They were already extremely lucky to be the master's registered disciples, so they did not dare to ask for more.
"Congratulations, Junior Sister Meng."
The four of them quickly adjusted their mood and congratulated him.
As a result, the relationship between them is naturally closer than that of others.
Xiao Ying also smiled. Her direct disciples were to inherit her mantle, and she would train them with all her heart, instead of leaving them alone like the disciples of the sect.
She had high expectations for Meng Qingying.
"Quick, serve tea to your master."
Xiao Qi brought a cup of tea to Meng Qingying at some point. Meng Qingying took it and smiled at him gratefully.
"Master, please have some tea."
Xiao Ying picked up the teacup and took a sip, then helped the person up.
"From now on, you are my personal disciple, Xiao Ying. I will do my utmost to train you. I hope you will also be diligent and hardworking and strive to improve yourself."
"I will follow Master's instructions! I will do my best to not let Master down!"
Tears welled up in Meng Qingying's eyes, showing joy, gratitude and excitement.
Now she had a master, and she was no longer the child who suffered from hunger, cold, bullying and beatings from her parents and was unwanted by everyone.
She felt the Master's love and expectations for her. In return, she would work hard to cultivate and would never let the Master down.
Although the apprenticeship ceremony was simple, both parties were very satisfied.
Xiao Ying had another personal disciple, which was like having another family member and also an additional responsibility.
When leaving, Xiao Ying took the five people away together, and all five of them received countless envious and jealous looks.
Especially Meng Qingying. When they heard that she was accepted as a personal disciple by the sect leader, those who had laughed at her behind her back blushed and even hesitated whether to apologize for fear of being hated.
Meng Qingying ignored the looks and thoughts of these people, or rather, she no longer cared at all. Her master was the only one in her heart.
As long as the master treats her well, nothing else matters.
Chen Xingyue also went back with them. When she heard that she was asked to teach Meng Qingying and others swordsmanship, Chen Xingyue felt proud but also nervous.
She was proud that her mother believed in her, but she was also worried that she might disappoint her mother if she failed to teach her well.
But in the end, confidence overcame my anxiety, and I silently vowed to be a good senior sister.
Before leaving the mountain protection formation, Xiao Ying sent all five of them into the Immortal Palace and placed them in the Hall of Good Deeds.
The Hall of Good Deeds is the largest building in the Immortal Palace. It has seven or eight courtyards and many rooms, which can accommodate dozens of people at the same time.
The five people were distributed in three courtyards: one for the two teenagers Ren Han and Peng Xiyu; one for the two girls Jiang Leling and Lin Xitong; and Meng Qingying, as a direct disciple, lived in one.
The facilities in the yard were complete and much more spacious than the disciples' residences in the sect. The five of them were very happy.
Xiao Ying and Chen Xinghai also have residences here, and Xiao Ying lives in the largest yard.
The brothers Chen Xinghai and Chen Xinghe have one, but Chen Xinghe only lives there during his rest time, while Chen Xinghai uses it to make pills on weekdays.
Chen Xingyun and Chen Xingyue also lived in the same room. The two sisters did not disturb each other when practicing and had a tacit understanding.
Ling Yun lived in the yard behind the teaching hall when he was learning to draw talismans. He was alone there and it was very quiet.
Since the establishment of the sect, Xiao Jin rarely entered the Immortal Palace, and learned how to set up formations directly in the sect.
After returning to the house, the children had already put their belongings in order, familiarized themselves with the surrounding environment, and visited each other.
After Xiao Ying came in, he first helped them test whether they had other talents. Unexpectedly, he actually found one.
The talented one is Peng Xiyu, whose spiritual power has reached the level of alchemy, and he also has wood spiritual roots.
Although he is not as good as Chen Xinghai overall, he is good enough to be a medicine apprentice and can just help Chen Xinghai.
Peng Xiyu was extremely happy. He was an active person by nature, and he almost jumped three feet high when he heard the words. He couldn't wait to learn how to make elixirs.
The other four people were quite envious. They had no talent at all and suddenly felt that they were useless.
"Why envy them? You are already amazing just by having spiritual roots."
Chen Xingyue felt sorry for her and patted her shoulders to comfort her. She recalled how her mother comforted her when she was upset about this. She never expected that one day she would comfort others in the same way.
She smiled brightly and said, "You see, I don't have those talents either. It's no big deal. From now on, just follow me and learn swordsmanship."
"Yes, Fourth Senior Sister."
Ren Han and the other three quickly adjusted their mindsets. Fourth Senior Sister was right. It was already good enough that they had spiritual roots to practice, and there was no need to ask for more.
So Chen Xingyue immediately taught him sword skills, and Xiao Ying took Peng Xiyu to Chen Xinghai's yard.
Ever since he entered the third level of Qi Refining and was found to have a talent for alchemy, Chen Xinghai has almost stayed in this courtyard, appearing outside only to eat.
Nearly two months have passed in a flash, and more than five months have passed in this. His cultivation and alchemy skills have made great progress!
He was already familiar with all the medicinal materials needed for various primary elixirs, and he also remembered how to plant, prepare, and understand their pharmacology and properties.
He also learned how to refine five kinds of primary elixirs. Although the quality is not as good as his mother's, it is enough to reward his disciples.
He seemed to have endless energy every day, and sometimes he wanted to practice without sleeping. Xiao Ying admired him.
Therefore, he is reminded and supervised every day to prevent him from overworking himself and damaging his health.
Under such circumstances, Chen Xinghai's cultivation was still growing steadily, and he was about to enter the fourth level of Qi Refining. His progress was similar to that of Chen Xingyun, who was busy traveling outside during the day.
Among the few people, Chen Xinghe made the slowest progress, which was unavoidable. Fortunately, he was also at the third level of Qi Refining and had some ability to protect himself.
"Mother, you're here? I've refined another batch of Soul-Returning Pills. This time, there are two top-grade pills, and the rest are all of superior quality. Please take a look, mother."
As soon as he saw Xiao Ying coming, Chen Xinghai couldn't help but share his joy and showed the freshly-made pill to Xiao Ying.
The sixteen-year-old boy was unusually childish, and because he had been in contact with medicinal herbs for a long time, his body was also stained with the fragrance of medicine.
He became more confident and calm, and his every move seemed to be detached from the world, more like a monk.
Xiao Ying took the jade bottle, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and showed approval.
"Yes, your alchemy skills have improved again."
"It's all thanks to my mother's good teaching."
Chen Xinghai's ears turned red and he smiled shyly, feeling a little embarrassed by the compliments.
