After Ye Feng left, the three of them each used their escape lights to fly towards the main peak.
Bamboo Sword moved a few steps closer to Li Qinghe, a hint of mockery on his face.
"Junior sister, you're being too affectionate with your disciple. Be careful, or he might take a liking to you."
Li Qinghe frowned.
"Senior sister, what are you saying? I only have this one disciple now, isn't it normal to treat him well? Besides, look at how timid this kid is, would he dare to have those kinds of thoughts?"
In the cultivation world, it's common for masters and disciples to get together due to their close relationship; there are no taboos associated with it.
But someone like Ye Feng, who would give up the chance to advance to Foundation Establishment just to save his own life, how could he dare to have such thoughts about her, his master who was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment?
"Don't forget, his life goal is a beautiful fairy. Junior sister, you're so beautiful, who wouldn't be attracted to you..."
After finishing his words, Zhu Jian chuckled and left. While the story of a master and disciple working together is a beautiful tale, excessive concern can easily lead to one-sided misunderstandings, and it's not uncommon for them to turn into enemies.
This junior sister had never taken on male disciples before, so she probably wouldn't be able to handle things properly, which is why she gave her a slight reminder.
Hearing Zhu Jian say that, Li Qinghe suddenly thought of the day when he grabbed Ye Feng, and her heart fluttered for no reason.
......
After leaving the Qingxue Hall, Ye Feng went to the Scripture Pavilion.
This time it was my master who gave the order. Surely I shouldn't have to master the spells before learning new ones?
Ye Feng had originally planned to exchange for the Dust-Avoiding Technique, but now that he's learning the Cleansing Technique, he no longer needs it.
The library contains tens of thousands of books, including various novels and tales of the strange and unusual.
The table of contents is arranged according to rules.
Ye Feng quickly found the Cleansing Technique and also took out the Core Formation Technique.
The three major techniques of alchemy are: fire control, decomposition, and pill refining.
With these three techniques, Ye Feng could basically refine pills on his own.
As for the more powerful ones, they need to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage and acquire divine consciousness to cultivate.
As Ye Feng was leaving, his gaze was firmly drawn to the other side of the bookshelf.
"Azure Cloud Qi Refining Technique Levels 8-10"
...As an inner disciple...it's perfectly reasonable for me to receive the later-stage cultivation technique!
...
"Please do me the trouble, I need to exchange for these spells!"
Ye Feng suppressed his excitement and handed over the spell catalog number, along with his inner disciple token.
The old man, as always, was still reading that novel. Hearing this, he looked up, took the token, and...
"Cannot be redeemed!"
When he heard that the exchange couldn't be made, Ye Feng's disappointment was almost palpable.
"There are only 100 points inside, and you can only choose one spell."
Hearing what he said next, Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Um... I choose the Cleaning spell."
This chef is so stingy, he only gave exactly 100 points...
"Thank you, senior!"
Having obtained the two jade slips, Ye Feng used them immediately upon reaching the intersection, fearing someone might catch up and demand their return.
Advanced cultivation techniques! Acquired!
The cultivation technique was completely imprinted in his mind, and the jade tablet turned into powder and dissipated.
Using jade slips to transmit teachings is not only convenient
Each jade slip also has a restriction, which prevents those who learn the technique from spreading it to others. Those who violate this restriction will be possessed by inner demons!
Next, let's see if there are any quests in Liuyun Town...
——
Unbeknownst to Ye Feng, after he left, the old man guarding the pavilion watched him for quite a while.
"That kid who wanted to exchange for twenty spells last time... How strange, his magical power seems to be at level four, but his physical body seems to be at level seven?"
After opening the book and seeing the information about Ye Feng's second level of body refinement displayed during the competition, his doubts were dispelled.
It's normal for my body refinement cultivation to have made some breakthroughs during this period...
In a good mood, Ye Feng was completely unaware that he had almost been seen through.
If one hasn't cultivated the Hidden Spiritual Awareness to its full potential... then one would probably be facing severe torture by now....
——
The Sect Master's Rear Hall
"Senior Brother, Qinghe has been a pill refiner for a long time now, so refining Foundation Establishment Pills shouldn't be a problem for her. Let's give her a chance this time!"
Upon hearing Mu Xue's words, Master Qingsong couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
You said it yourself, it should be fine. But how can you guarantee it won't be a problem if you haven't practiced it?
If the sect had ample resources, this would be a given, but each Foundation Establishment Pill is an extremely precious resource, not something to be used for practice.
"Junior sister, there's no need to say more. I know that as long as you have more than 25 Foundation Establishment Fruits, I'll give one to Qinghe to try her out. Is that alright?"
Master Muxue sighed, knowing she couldn't force the issue, and could only nod in agreement.
Before long, a vortex appeared on the wall of the rear hall.
The surrounding murals seemed to be distorted by space, gradually deforming until the vortex expanded to a diameter of two meters before stabilizing.
A group of sixteen people filed out from inside.
Two of the Foundation Establishment cultivators stepped forward and handed a storage bag to Sect Master Qingsong Zhenren.
"Reporting to the sect master, this harvest yielded 22 Foundation Establishment Fruits, along with many other mature spiritual herbs."
Master Qingsong nodded slightly, then looked helplessly at Master Muxue beside him.
Master Muxue nodded, said no more, and turned her gaze to Li Qinghe.
Her gaze was fixed intently on a disciple in the mid-stage of Qi Refining.
The disciple walked straight up to Jiang Jin, the master of Qingjian Peak.
"Master, I have not failed you. I have reached the sixth level of Qi Refining!"
This person was none other than Ding Xiu, the lucky one who had participated in the grand competition.
Although his spiritual root was average, his fortune was considerable. He had only recently advanced to the fourth level, and after traversing the secret realm, he quickly reached the peak of the sixth level.
"snort!"
Li Qinghe's voice wasn't loud, but it didn't escape the ears of the many Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators.
The Peak Master of Qingjian Peak was fully aware of the reason.
Ye Feng won first place in a major competition, yet no one accepted him as a disciple, which made him known to many people.
Later, he was taken in as a disciple by Li Qinghe, which was common knowledge among the upper echelons.
"What's wrong? Is Qinghe a little angry because she didn't get a chance to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill again this time?"
The Peak Master of Azure Sword Peak said jokingly.
Li Qinghe felt even more aggrieved, but the token trading was both tacitly approved by the sect and an unwritten rule.
A transaction that is mutually agreed upon should not be discussed openly by either party.
Li Qinghe remained silent with a cold expression.
Jiang Jin was overjoyed to see his disciple advance two levels and couldn't help but continue speaking.
"I think you should just go to Green Grass Peak and take your disciple with you. He may not have great talent in alchemy, but he might be good at it. With Senior Brother Ge guiding him, he might even have a chance to reach Foundation Establishment."
Li Qinghe could no longer maintain her composure and shouted.
"My disciple will definitely achieve Foundation Establishment. Foundation Establishment Fruits aren't only found in sects. I'll find them someday, and then I'll personally refine Foundation Establishment Pills for him to help him achieve Foundation Establishment!"
After saying that, he walked straight out, mounted his flying sword, and left, ignoring even the bamboo sword's calls...
