Chapter 42: Yaofeng and Cijianfeng want to be the best in the world, so don’t bother them…
Qin Sangyue turned her head to look at Nan Si Ning. Seeing that her junior sister had no intention of coming forward, she said, "Uncle Master, this was refined by my junior sister."
Master Yu Feng's eyes widened immediately: "What? Really?!"
Not only was Master Yu Feng surprised, but even Wang Xuan was so frightened that his hands trembled and he almost dropped the jade bottle in his hand.
Wu Che, standing by, was completely bewildered: Who am I? Where am I? Am I dreaming?
Qin Sangyue saw the shocked expressions of her master and disciple, and felt a secret sense of pleasure in her heart. When her junior sister had refined the Great Huan Dan, she didn't even have time to be surprised.
When Qin Sangyue thought about her once foolish and silly junior sister who had now become a genius in alchemy, she felt that most of the depression in her heart had dissipated.
When Ci Jianfeng had taken care of the little junior sister, many people had mocked them for being foolish, saying that a fool with only five spiritual roots wasn't worth piling so many resources and treasures on. Now, the little junior sister had slapped those people in the face.
During the period when Junior Sister was mentally retarded, Cijian Peak dealt with Yao Peak the most. The head of Yao Peak was quite dedicated to the matter for the sake of Master, but it was hard to say about the other people in Yao Peak.
Qin Sangyue smiled and said, "Uncle Master, I dare not joke with you about such a thing."
Master Yu blinked several times before his mouth slowly closed. This news was indeed a bit hard to digest, but he was the master of a peak after all. After being shocked, he gradually came to his senses.
"It was actually made by my nephew? My nephew can now make third-grade pills?"
This question was directed at Nan Sining.
In fact, she had also practiced the higher-grade Da Huan Dan, but Nan Si Ning thought about it and decided that she needed to show some strength, but she couldn't reveal all her cards. So she nodded and said, looking very obedient, "Master, I practiced it. Now I can refine a third-grade pill."
Master Yu Feng was completely shocked, and Wang Xuan was also shocked: "Then... then you are now a third-grade alchemist?"
Nan Si Ning shook his head: "No, I only passed the exam in Yaowang City and got the title of a second-grade alchemist, not the third grade!"
When she wanted to enter the Secret Realm of Strange Fire to obtain the Strange Fire, the Medicine King specially asked her to take the test to see what her level was.
Otherwise, Shen Tangyuan could send her in with a recommendation.
But after the test, Yao Wang and Shen Tangyuan discovered that Nan Si Ning's strength could not be determined by this kind of alchemist level test.
Getting a second-class score on the first try was already very shocking. In order to prevent Nan Si Ning's talent from being too dazzling and causing jealousy from villains, the master and disciple did not even think of testing Nan Si Ning's background.
This time it was Wang Xuan's turn to be annoyed.
Wang Xuan is also a second-grade alchemist. At his age, he can reach this level, which is considered to be an outstanding talent. Otherwise, he would not be able to become the chief disciple of Yaofeng.
But this little junior sister, who was a little fool just two months ago, suddenly became a second-grade alchemist after returning two months later? And the kind certified by Medicine King City? Wang Xuan suddenly felt that his talent was nothing.
After a long pause, Master Yu Feng finally said, "My junior nephew, you have gained a lot from this training!"
Nan Si Ning said politely, "Thank you for the compliment, Master."
Master Yu Feng felt very complicated. If he had known earlier... if he had known that Nan Si Ning was such a powerful alchemy genius, he would have found a way to keep him at Yaofeng.
But he changed his mind and realized that she had been foolish and silly for more than ten years. He probably didn't have the energy to take care of her day after day for more than ten years. So, this good disciple deserved to be his junior sister.
With this thought, Master Yu Feng felt a little calmer and turned to ask Wang Xuan, "How is it? Can you smell the difference between the two pills?"
Wang Xuan finally came back to his senses, and said with a guilty look on his face, "My apprentice's level is not good enough. I can only see some differences, but I can't tell where the differences are."
Master Yu Feng was not angry. He turned to Nan Si Ning and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the recipe for your Qingxin Pill contains some spiritual plants. It's a little different from the one I use, right?"
Nan Si Ning nodded and said, "That's right! Uncle-Master is worthy of being the Master of Medicine Peak. He saw it right away. How amazing!"
Master Yu Feng couldn't help but curl up his lips. Even his disciple Wang Xuan was surprised when he saw this. He didn't expect that Junior Sister Nan's flattery would be so appreciated by his master. The master usually said that he couldn't listen to others' flattery!
Master Yu Feng was in a good mood because Nan Si Ning's talent in alchemy really caught his eye, so his attitude was very different.
"I wonder if I'll ever have a chance to find out what this recipe is like?"
Nan Si Ning immediately pulled out two pages of paper from his storage ring and handed them over, saying, "Master, I've discussed this recipe with Senior Medicine King. Besides the recipe, our insights are also here. Please take a look."
Master Yu Feng's eyebrows jumped. He didn't expect that this little girl had discussed the pill formula with the Medicine King. Since the pill formula had passed the Medicine King's approval, it must be very good.
And she shared it so generously. She is really a good disciple with a tolerant heart. It would be even better if it was from Yaofeng.
Thinking of this, Master Yu Feng glanced at Nan Si Ning and felt a little more favorable towards this fair and pretty girl.
Wang Xuan held the two jade bottles, his mind buzzing. He had never thought that Junior Sister Nan's recipe would be praised by Senior Medicine King! She was so amazing!
Faced with such talent, Wang Xuan did not feel any jealousy, only a sense of sighing and loss that he could not reach the level of the talent.
It took Master Yu Feng quite some time to finish reading the recipe and the experience. In fact, he wished he could keep the recipe and the experience and study it carefully for several days and nights.
But the guest was still a guest, and he didn't want to keep the guest's things without returning them, so he asked, "Can I show them to my apprentice?"
Nan Si Ning nodded generously: "Of course you can. If Senior Uncle and Senior Brother Wang have any insights after reading this, please share them with me!"
After hearing this, Wang Xuan was delighted and respectfully took the two pieces of paper from his master with both hands.
When he saw the pill recipe, he was already shocked. He didn't expect that there were more than a dozen spiritual plants in it, all of which were lower-level than the spiritual plants in the original pill recipe and easier to find. If so, wouldn't he be able to refine more Qingxin Pills?
Reading the alchemy experience and notes later, I was even more shocked. It turned out that this junior sister already understood the characteristics of spiritual plants so well that she dared to use lower-level spiritual plants to replace high-level spiritual plants!
Wang Xuan was immediately mesmerized when he saw it. He also knew how to refine the Qingxin Pill, but usually he could only refine high and medium quality pills, never the best quality. This alchemy notebook solved many doubts and difficulties for him, making him feel as if he had drilled into the interior of the Qingxin Pill and understood every bit of its structure.
When Master Yu Feng saw Wang Xuan's appearance, he quickly placed a formation plate for him to protect him.
Wu Che asked in a low voice with some curiosity: "Brother Wang, what is this..."
"Senior Brother Wang has had an epiphany," Qin Sangyue said.
Wu Che gasped. Just a recipe and notes from his junior sister had given Yaofeng's senior brother an epiphany? Was it truly that powerful?
Wu Che couldn't help but glance at his junior sister. She was still the same fair and lovely junior sister! But she was much more lively and smart than before.
Master Yu Feng also looked at his disciple with a smile. He was very satisfied with this disciple. He practiced very hard, but it seemed that he was not very lucky, so he could never find the way to become a third-grade alchemist.
He didn't expect to get such a great opportunity today, which gave him the chance to have an epiphany.
The enlightenment of alchemists is also very important. The mysterious and magical feeling about elixirs mostly comes from enlightenment.
Grasp the feeling you get when you have an epiphany, and when you are refining the elixir yourself, try your best to follow it, so that you can make better elixirs.
Nan Sining himself did not expect that this Senior Brother Wang was more likely to have epiphany than his own Third Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Sister, just after he had read a pill recipe and notes!
However, she soon understood that Wang Xuan must have been very hardworking on a daily basis, and today was the day when he finally made a breakthrough. He had an epiphany after looking at her pill recipe, which was a favor for her.
She had originally just wanted to show off a bit of her strength to the people at Yaofeng to lay a foundation for winning them over, but she hadn't expected things to progress so drastically today.
After a while, Master Yu Feng remembered that he still had to entertain a few more people, so he hurriedly asked the three to sit down and served them spiritual tea and spiritual fruit.
Just as Wu Che was about to agree, he heard his younger sister say, "Thank you for your hospitality, Uncle. However, we came here today not only to pay our respects to Uncle, but also to pick up our Fifth Senior Sister. Tea is not necessary."
Master Yu was quite surprised: "Your fifth senior sister is at Yaofeng?"
"Yes, Fifth Senior Sister has accepted a mission and has come to Yaofeng to take care of the spiritual plants in the medicine garden."
Master Yu Feng suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He would not care about such a small matter. He did not expect that a direct disciple of the other party would come back to work in his own medicine field. It felt like he had accidentally used the relative of the boss. Although it was not to the point of offending anyone, he always felt that he was looking down on others.
"My fellow disciples, please wait for a moment. I will send someone to find her." Master Yu Feng's attitude seemed much more earnest.
Qin Sangyue and Wu Che both clearly felt the changes, especially Wu Che, who felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
No wonder the junior sister is fearless. She is very capable and has the confidence to make people change their attitudes, so she dares to think and act. I am timid because I don’t have much strength, so I lack confidence, right?
Qin Sangyue responded, "Thank you, Uncle Master."
Master Yu Feng found a disciple and gave him instructions, then continued to greet him, "Sit down and have some tea and some fruit. There's no need to be restrained or polite in my Medicine Peak."
Qin Sangyue and Nan Sining both said generously, "Thank you, Uncle Master."
When Wu Che saw the smile on Yu Fengzhu's face, he thought he was seeing things. Was this still the same Yao Fengfeng Master he remembered, always with a stern face? He actually smiled like this? It didn't seem so scary anymore.
Taking this opportunity, Master Yu Feng gently asked about some experiences. This time, Nan Si Ning was the main speaker, and Qin Sangyue supplemented it from the side.
After listening to this, Master Yu Feng suddenly realized, "So that's what happened. There's a rumor going around in the sect that people from Cijian Peak are killing fellow disciples, killing people and stealing treasures. I was surprised because that's not your style."
These words touched Wu Che's heart. He immediately felt that this Master Yu was a truly good person. A little excitedly, he said, "Master Yu is indeed very perceptive and saw the problem right away. Although our Master is no longer with us, we have always remembered her teachings. We must cultivate and live with a clear conscience. If my senior sisters, brothers, and junior sisters harmed their fellow disciples, wouldn't that be a betrayal of Master? That's absolutely impossible!"
Nan Si Ning looked at his sixth senior brother in surprise. He didn't expect that this silent guy could talk so much in front of outsiders!
Sure enough, he overcame his own human attributes in order to protect his fellow disciples, right?
My senior brother is so nice!
Master Yu Feng looked at Wu Che with admiration and said, "Your master has taught you very well."
As they were saying this, a commotion broke out outside: "Let's go to our Master and have a discussion! We must make her realize her mistakes today!"
After a while, several men and women wearing the uniforms of Canglan Sect disciples came in one after another to pay their respects to Master Yu Feng.
Nan Si Ning looked over and recognized his fifth senior sister without much guessing.
Because everyone else was making a lot of noise, only the female cultivator with simple clothes and a simple bun had her head slightly lowered, her face a little red, but still with a hint of stubbornness.
Master Yu Feng said with an unhappy face, "What are you arguing about? You're so loud and rude. If someone hears you, they might think all of our Yaofeng disciples are unruly."
The lean male cultivator at the front immediately said to the Peak Master, "Master, Li Yunqi from Cijian Peak took advantage of a mission to steal spiritual plants from our medicine garden! We caught her, but she refused to admit it. We're trying to get her to give up the plants she stole!"
The others also echoed, looking very confident, as if they had completely grasped Li Yunqi's handle.
When Wu Che saw that his fifth senior sister was being wrongly accused, he was about to speak up for her, but was stopped by Nan Si Ning.
Nan Si Ning shook his head, and Wu Che's courage was lost, so he had to sit back down.
Nan Si Ning was not in a hurry. She believed in the character of her fifth senior sister. In the book, this fifth senior sister did not have many roles, probably because her cultivation level did not pose any threat to Luo Qingyao.
However, the ethos of Cijian Peak made Nan Sining inexplicably believe in the character of his senior sister and that she would never do such a sneaky thing.
If she really wanted to cheat, why would she wait until today? She should have started long ago.
Master Yu Feng glanced at the three people from Ci Jian Peak and felt a little unlucky. He had just wanted to establish a good relationship with the people from Ci Jian Peak, especially his junior nephew Nan Si Ning, but this incident happened.
If Li Yunqi really stole, then Cijian Peak lost face in front of Yao Peak today, and there was a rift between them, making it difficult to get close; if Li Yunqi did not steal, then Yao Peak would have committed a serious sin, and having offended Cijian Peak, it would be difficult to recover in the future, which put Peak Master Yu in a dilemma.
After the disciples of Yaofeng started arguing for a while, Master Yu said sternly, "Shut up first. Who is Li Yunqi's nephew?"
Li Yunqi then stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Li Yunqi from Cijian Peak, greetings to Uncle Master Yu."
When Master Yu Feng saw Li Yunqi, he saw that she was dressed very simply and had bright eyes that did not avoid his gaze. He felt that this kind of person was not the type to steal things.
So he softened his tone and asked, "Does my nephew have anything to say about this?"
Li Yunqi's voice was a little low as he said, "Uncle Master, I didn't steal anything. I just wanted to get the spirit stones for the recent mission and then return to Cijian Peak."
Seeing his fifth senior sister like this, Nan Si Ning understood that the fifth senior sister was also a weak and non-competitive person. If faced with such a situation, she would probably just insist on saying "I didn't steal". As for excuses, she couldn't say anything.
Seeing Fifth Senior Sister in this state, even if Master Yu Feng wanted to help her, he would probably feel it difficult to do so.
So Nan Si Ning took the initiative and said, "You all say that my Fifth Senior Sister stole something. You must provide evidence, right? For example, who saw it, when and where did she see it, how much did she steal, and where did she put it?"
Only then did everyone notice that there were three people sitting nearby.
I was so focused on arguing that I didn't notice that my master was entertaining guests.
Master Yu Feng immediately responded, "What Junior-Junior Brother said makes sense. Who was it that accused Junior-Junior Brother Li?"
The Yaofeng disciples immediately pulled three people over. Nan Sining took a look and saw that they were dressed like outer disciples and were not from Yaofeng.
One of them had a very quick look in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, Nan Si Ning spoke first, "You two should speak together. Who knows if you are in cahoots? How about this? If Uncle-Master allows, I want to separate them and question them one by one. If they say the same thing, we can ask my Fifth Senior Sister, and even search her mustard seed bag. If they say different things..."
This means those people lied.
Before Nan Sining finished speaking, he saw two people who were obviously a little panicked.
Master Yu Feng didn't notice these details, but he thought Nan Si Ning's method was good, so he nodded and said, "That's fine. Tu Yuanze, you can ask with Junior Brother Qin from Cijian Peak!"
There are people from both sides, and this time Nan Sining is satisfied.
Qin Sangyue immediately stood up and, together with Tu Yuanze, took the one with the most flexible eyes out first.
Not long after, the two came back and took the other person out.
Everyone waited patiently, and soon the three outer disciples were questioned. Their testimonies were written down and then signed with bloody fingerprints.
In just a stick of incense, Qin Sangyue and Tu Yuanze came back with three copies of the paper. Qin Sangyue looked relaxed, while Tu Yuanze looked grim. Everyone could guess the result at a glance.
Tu Yuanze presented the information he had obtained to Master Yu Feng, and then stood aside silently, completely different from his indignant look just now.
Master Yu Feng took it and looked at it, then burst out laughing: "The three people's statements are completely different. They called the Purple Dew Grass the Gathering Dew Grass, and the Seven Vermilion Fruits the Vermilion Flowers..."
After reading it, Peak Master Yu casually threw it to a few Yaofeng disciples: "Take a good look at how the three people's statements are completely inconsistent."
After reading it, several people blushed immediately. The three people were indeed talking about completely unrelated things, and it didn't seem like they were talking about the same thing at all.
"But...but Master, some spiritual plants have indeed been lost in the medicine fields these days. They are all mature and can be picked. If we sell them, we can also get some spiritual plants in exchange."
Nan Si Ning just happened to take the three pieces of paper and took a look at them, then casually said, "Just because a thief appeared in the medicinal field doesn't mean my senior sister is the thief. Think about it, who would most like this matter to be pinned on my senior sister so that they can get away with it?"
The few Yaofeng disciples were not so stupid. After hearing what Nan Sining said, they looked at each other and ran towards the door together. Soon, a burst of crying and shouting was heard outside the door.
Master Yu Feng couldn't help but rub his forehead and said, "It's such a simple case of the thief crying 'stop thief', but they didn't see through it. What a bunch of fools..."
Thinking that his nephews were still outsiders, Master Yu Feng finally swallowed his curse words.
Seeing Li Yunqi still standing there quietly, Master Yu said, "I apologize to the disciples of Yaofeng for not knowing how to judge people and for wrongly accusing Junior Brother Li. Junior Brother Li has suffered injustice. These spirit stones will be used to calm you down!"
As he spoke, Master Yu Feng directly took out a bag of spirit stones and gave it to Li Yunqi.
As expected, those who sell medicine all have money. Wang Xuan carries three hundred high-grade spirit stones with him, and Master Yu Feng just takes out the spirit stones as he says.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunqi refused and said, "I will be satisfied if I can find out the truth and clear my name. I dare not accept the spirit stones from my uncle-master. I only want the spirit stones I deserve for completing the mission."
After Qin Sangyue pondered for a moment, she also helped Li Yunqi decline politely, "It's good that the matter has been clarified. Uncle Master, there's no need to be so polite."
The favors owed are much more valuable than spirit stones.
Following Nan Si Ning all the way here, Qin Sangyue gradually understood Nan Si Ning's intentions.
Now, Cijian Peak is isolated and helpless in the entire Canglan Sect. All the people in the sect have been deceived by Luo Qingyao. They regard Cijian Peak as the bad guys and squeeze and harm them openly or secretly.
If Cijian Peak wants to get out of this predicament, it must have allies and break its isolated state, and Yaofeng is a very good breakthrough point.
Firstly, the master of Yaofeng, Yu Feng, has a good relationship with his master, and for the sake of his master, he will take some old feelings into consideration; secondly, with the special Qingxin Pill of the little junior sister as a stepping stone, it will definitely arouse the curiosity and yearning of the alchemists in Yaofeng.
With the influence of these two parties, Yaofeng will definitely become the first breakthrough point of Cijianfeng.
When Master Yu saw that the people from Cijian Peak insisted on not accepting the spirit stones, he immediately felt that it was really remarkable that they were able to stick to their principles even though they no longer had the protection of their master. They were short of spirit stones but would not be greedy for any bargains. Their character was much stronger.
The higher you advance in your cultivation, the more you will feel how important your character is in the process of cultivation.
As a result, Master Yu had even more appreciation and admiration for the disciples of Cijian Peak.
"In that case, I won't force you. I hope today's incident will not affect the relationship between the two peaks. In the future, if you need any help, please feel free to ask me." said Master Yu Feng.
The four knew that this promise was not just a formality but a genuine statement, so they hurriedly thanked Master Yu Feng.
These words also made Qin Sangyue feel a lot more relaxed.
Not long after, Tu Yuanze and others found out what happened and found the spiritual plants that were hidden by the outer disciples. They were immediately filled with ashamed.
Several people came over to apologize to Li Yunqi and gave her the remuneration for taking care of the spiritual plants in the medicine garden in recent days.
"This matter was caused by our brothers and sisters being too impulsive. We failed to investigate the truth and wrongly accused Senior Sister Li. We hope Senior Sister Li will forgive us. We have specially added an extra 30% of spirit stones to these rewards to express our apologies to Senior Sister Li."
Qin Sangyue asked Li Yunqi to accept it. Li Yunqi hesitated for a while before accepting it.
"I wonder if Senior Sister Li will come to our Yaofeng again to do missions. Senior Sister Li is very serious and meticulous in her work, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people. We want Senior Sister Li to continue to help us take care of the spiritual plants."
Nan Si Ning shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. My senior sister has to prepare for the sect competition, so she doesn't have time."
The disciples of Yaofeng were immediately disappointed and felt even more regretful for wrongly accusing Li Yunqi.
When the people from Cijian Peak said goodbye, Master Yu seemed particularly reluctant to let them go: "Nephew, please come to our Yaofeng more often!"
Nan Si Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Master. I've recently gained some insights into the Longevity Pill and need some guidance. I'll definitely come to Yaofeng to find you when the time comes!"
