Chapter 49 Is the Junior Sister the God of Enlightenment? Rescue the Eighth Senior Brother
Nan Sining didn't expect that the Great Elder was so generous this time and gave so many magic tools and treasures, even though he was a bit stingy before.
However, this great elder did have some wealth, and the things he sent were not rubbish, but of pretty good quality.
Nan Sining took a few glances at the magic weapons, and suddenly noticed that Li Shiqing's face looked very ugly. Could it be that he had been the first disciple of the great elder for many years, but had never received so many good things?
Moreover, seeing Li Shiqing obeying each order one by one, Nan Sining couldn't help but think of the eunuchs in ancient costume dramas, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
The gifts given by the Great Elder totaled forty or fifty items.
Nan Si Ning didn't rush to put them away, but instead called out to his fellow seniors, "Sisters, brothers, take a look and see if there's anything suitable for you. Feel free to take it."
Qin Sangyue was used to it, so after thanking Nan Sining, she didn't bother to be polite with her and started to check it out.
Nan Si Ning noticed Li Yunqi's hesitation and shyness, so he continued, "Next up is the sect competition. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask me. As long as I can help you, it's fine. We at Cijian Peak must achieve excellent results!"
After Nan Sining said this, Li Yunqi's expression relaxed a little, as if he had found a reason to choose a magic weapon, and then he stepped forward to check it out.
Nan Si Ning's action made Li Shiqing frown. Nan Si Ning was quite generous to her own people.
Li Shiqing didn't notice that a sour feeling of envy had already arisen in his heart unconsciously.
"Let's go!" Li Shiqing called to his fellow junior brothers and sisters. He felt that if he stayed any longer, it would be even more uncomfortable.
Qin Sangyue replied in a perfunctory tone, "Then I'm sorry I won't see you off."
As soon as Li Shiqing and others left, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
After the senior sisters and brothers each chose something suitable, Nan Si Ning packed up the rest.
That night, Nan Sining went to bed early. She had been refining pills for several days in a row and was very tired.
When I woke up the next day, I was shocked by the pills, spiritual plants and other things piled up inside and outside the house.
She hurried out to find her senior sisters and brothers, and found out after asking that it was Master Yu Feng who woke up in the middle of the night from an epiphany. He felt that he had gained a great understanding of the way of alchemy and felt that he could become a fourth-grade alchemist in the near future. He was so happy that he moved a lot of things from Yaofeng and gave them to Nan Sining as a thank you gift.
"Master Yu also left a message, saying that from now on, Junior Sister, you will be their Medicine Peak's non-official disciple. You can go to Medicine Peak at any time, and you can ask for any spiritual plants or elixirs you want."
This treatment not only surpasses that of the chief disciple like Wang Xuan, but even catches up with Master Yu Feng himself.
Such treatment is not only a thank you to Nan Sining, but also a recognition of her identity as an alchemy practitioner, as well as an appreciation and recognition of her alchemy level.
If Nan Si Ning was not a capable alchemist, Master Yu Feng would not be willing to open the spiritual plant warehouse to Nan Si Ning.
Wu Che said in a very flattering manner: "So Junior Sister is so amazing! I was too blind to recognize her before. Junior Sister, when you become successful in the future, don't forget Sixth Senior Brother!"
Nan Si Ning smiled, but before he could reply, Hua Shengqing said, "Sixth Senior Brother, that's enough. You've made so much money thanks to Junior Sister these days, and you're still thinking about clinging to her?"
Nan Si Ning also added: "Sixth Brother, cultivation is up to you. I can't help you much."
Wu Che has always been lazy and doesn't seem to care much about cultivation. Thinking of the result of his own master's sect being wiped out, Nan Si Ning also hopes that the sixth senior brother can be more motivated.
The words of his junior sisters pierced his heart, and Wu Che was speechless.
Seeing the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Nan Si Ning immediately changed the subject and said, "Big Sister, what's the progress of the investigation into Eighth Senior Brother's case? Can it prove that Eighth Senior Brother is innocent?"
Nan Sining deliberately delayed for so many days just to give Qin Sangyue and the others time to find out the truth.
Everyone's attention was immediately diverted.
Qin Sangyue said, "We have already thoroughly investigated the several incidents in which Eighth Junior Brother had conflicts with others, and we have also obtained evidence that proves that Eighth Junior Brother will not be punished by being confined to the confinement area for a month."
Nan Si Ning was immediately delighted and asked anxiously, "Will Eighth Senior Brother be back soon?"
Yuan Qingan said, "Don't worry, Junior Sister. We will do our best to get Eighth Junior Brother out before the sect competition."
Nan Si Ning nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
Nan Sining was indeed exhausted after refining pills for the past few days, especially the very exhausting longevity pills. He would stay in Cijian Peak to rest for the rest of the time.
Zhou Lixing and Li Yunqi thought of ways to prepare delicious food for her. Nan Si Ning lay under the big tree, in Wu Che's favorite rocking chair, eating spiritual fruits and spiritual food, drinking spiritual tea, and asking Zhou Lixing to think of ways to improve the taste of her milk tea cakes. The little beast followed her closely, serving her tea, water and massaging her legs. Nan Si Ning lived a very comfortable life, which made Wu Che envious.
However, once Wu Che heard some news outside, he would still rush over to tell Nan Si Ning.
"Junior Sister, Medicine King has been discussing alchemy with Peak Master Yu these past few days, and Peak Master Yu seems to have some profound insights."
Wu Che pretended to pick up a small cake and told Nan Si Ning.
Nan Si Ning hummed, "Yu Fengzhu is about to be promoted to a fourth-grade alchemist. He should have gained a lot of insights of his own."
The alchemy methods practiced by first to third-grade alchemists, including alchemy methods, mental methods, and oral formulas, are all universal. However, when becoming a fourth-grade alchemist, one will generally gradually comprehend his own unique mental methods due to personal qualifications, talents, and usual preferences and strengths in alchemy.
This is a bit like the division of majors in college, where everyone starts to specialize in one direction of study.
However, the division of majors in universities is because predecessors have already opened up these directions, and students only need to follow suit. But after Dan Xiu has some insights, most of the time he has to rely on himself to explore and research. In this perspective, he is a bit like a doctoral student.
Without your own unique insights, it is difficult to make further progress. Above the fourth-grade alchemist level, it is a test of one's understanding.
After learning this, Nan Si Ning also understood why among the direct disciples of Yaowang City, only Shen Tangyuan was a fifth-grade alchemy cultivator, while Hu Yan, the second senior brother, was even slightly older than Shen Tangyuan, but was still only a third-grade alchemy cultivator.
The world of cultivation values talent much more than modern society.
"I feel like the disciples at Yaofeng have been beaming lately, even their backs have straightened a lot. Is it because Master Yu is getting promoted to a fourth-grade Alchemist?"
A fourth-grade alchemist is someone who is to be worshipped in many sects and schools.
"It should be. Uncle Yu's cultivation stagnated before, and he has been a third-grade alchemy practitioner for so many years. This time he is going to avenge his previous shame." Hua Shengqing interrupted.
Wu Che smiled and said, "This is all thanks to our Junior Sister. Junior Sister, I heard that Third Senior Brother and Seventh Junior Sister both had sudden enlightenment because of you? Even that foolish boy from Medicine King City was enlightened by you? In this case, Junior Sister, aren't you the God of Sudden Enlightenment?"
Nan Si Ning thought for a moment and said, "I can't really say that I helped them achieve enlightenment. I just happened to contribute a little bit, which made everyone notice it. How can I be called the God of Enlightenment?"
Nan Sining doesn’t want such a big hat!
In the peaceful world of modern society, it is okay for ordinary people to stand out, as they can gain corresponding benefits and many conveniences. However, in the world of cultivation, if one does not have the corresponding strength, he will become a tree that stands out in the forest and will be destroyed by the wind.
Nan Sining would never do something where the risks far outweigh the benefits.
Hua Shengqing also patted Wu Che and said, "That's right, if you want to flatter Junior Sister, can you be more careful? Why hasn't Junior Sister gone out these days? Isn't it to avoid the limelight outside? If your words get out, will Junior Sister still be able to go out in the future? Which of those powerful people doesn't want to have enlightenment? What if they think Junior Sister is some kind of magic pill for enlightenment and kidnap her?"
Nan Sining nodded and said, "That's right, who wants to become Tang Monk's meat?"
Wu Che said uncertainly, "That shouldn't be the case, right?"
Nan Si Ning stuffed a piece of peach cake into his mouth and said, "Anyway, Sixth Brother, you should eat more and talk less. If there is anything you can't hold back, you can send a message to us."
This Sixth Senior Brother doesn't go out often and is not vigilant enough. Nan Sining decided to let the eldest sister take this silly Sixth Senior Brother out for more training in the future.
Wu Che swallowed the peach cake with a whimper and said, "Okay, I'll remember that. But Yaofeng has been quite lively lately. Many people are going to Yaofeng to buy pills for the upcoming sect competition!"
"Sixth Senior Brother, are you still short of any elixirs? It's not difficult to refine basic elixirs." Nan Sining said.
Wu Che shook his head repeatedly. Ever since his junior sister came back, he had never lacked medicinal pills.
"I saw that Yao Feng had earned quite a bit of spirit stones these days, and I was a little envious."
Cijian Peak is really poor. Even though it has made some income in recent days thanks to Nan Sining and is finally not so tight, the lack of spirit stones cannot be changed all at once.
Nan Si Ning smiled and said, "Isn't this simple? The reason we are poor is because we are suppressed by some villains, right? If we can prove ourselves in the sect competition, we will still be treated as first-class peaks in the future, and we will never lack spirit stones and flowers!"
Wu Che's face suddenly turned bitter: "Then I still have to practice hard."
Hua Shengqing asked back, "Why? Don't you want to practice? We've been back for so long, and I haven't seen Sixth Senior Brother practice properly once. So let me test your abilities first!"
After saying that, Hua Shengqing didn't give Wu Che a chance to breathe and pounced on him.
Wu Che was startled and ran away, screaming and yelling as he ran.
Hua Shengqing's attack was now even more fierce and powerful. Wu Che felt that his junior sister was really going to kill him.
Watching Seventh Senior Sister chasing Sixth Senior Brother everywhere, forcing Sixth Senior Brother to resort to escape tactics, and finally holding the sword that he had been reluctant to take out, Nan Si Ning nodded. It turned out that this was how you had to force Sixth Senior Brother!
Nan Sining's eyes turned and she smiled. She came up with a brilliant idea.
So, from the next day on, every day at dawn, Wu Che would be woken up by Hua Shengqing standing on the roof: "Sixth Brother, I'm coming to pursue you!"
Wu Che was so frightened that he jumped up from the bed and ran out without even putting on his clothes: "Why are you chasing me?"
Hua Shengqing chuckled and said, "Junior Sister, give me a high-grade spirit stone every day and let me chase you every day. If I can force you to use more sword moves, Junior Sister will give me more spirit stones."
There was no way. Ever since the Great Elder and Master Yu Feng gave Nan Si Ning thank-you gifts, Nan Si Ning suddenly became rich and has become a small wealthy woman.
She didn't know how to spend so many spirit stones. Seeing that her sixth senior brother needed some training, she spent a little money to ask her seventh senior sister to do it for him.
Wu Che cried out, "I'll give you spirit stones too, can you please stop right there!"
Hua Shengqing smiled brightly, but the words she spoke were as cold as ice: "Whether there are spirit stones or not is secondary. I just want to practice with you."
Wu Che screamed and ran faster.
Nan Sining lay in the rocking chair, listening to the screams coming from different directions, and drank a sip of spiritual tea very comfortably.
Well, compared with others, this leisurely little life seems even better.
When Qin Sangyue went to deal with the matter of Eighth Senior Brother Cong Chen, she did not bring so many people with her. She only called Yuan Qing'an and Zhou Lixing. Half a day after the three of them had been gone, Nan Sining saw that they had brought back a very listless young man.
There is no need to guess, you know that this young man is the unlucky senior brother Cong Chen.
Nan Si Ning went up to him and asked, "How is Eighth Senior Brother?"
"Senior Medicine King examined him and said he didn't suffer much physical pain, but just needed to rest for a while."
Although the body was not seriously injured, there were considerable psychological and spiritual traumas.
Cong Chen seemed a little dazed. After hearing the voice, he rolled his eyes and looked at Nan Si Ning, but he didn't say anything.
Nan Si Ning, along with his senior brothers and sisters, sent Cong Chen back to his own courtyard.
After placing Cong Chen on the couch, Nan Si Ning asked Qin Sangyue, "What medicine did Senior Medicine King prepare for Eighth Senior Brother?"
Qin Sangyue showed Nan Si Ning a few jade bottles: "There are small rejuvenation pills, heart-clearing pills, mind-calming pills, and heart-tranquilizing pills..."
Nan Si Ning looked at them one by one and said, "Give them to Eighth Senior Brother first!"
After a while, the other senior brothers and sisters came over, and Li Yunqi naturally took over the task of taking care of Cong Chen.
Nan Si Ning thought for a moment and said to Qin Sangyue, "Big Sister, let's take turns taking care of Eighth Brother!"
It’s not good to leave this matter entirely to Li Yunqi alone.
Li Yunqi said: "It's okay, I can do it alone, I don't have anything else to do anyway."
Qin Sangyue denied it, "Eighth Junior Brother is the senior brother of all of us, so we must do our best for him. For now, you take care of him first. Third Junior Brother will take over for you tonight, and Second Junior Brother will take over for Third Junior Brother tomorrow morning. How do you think?"
Everyone agreed in unison.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Li Yunqi said nothing more. A light flickered in her eyes. Although she felt a little uncomfortable, she knew in her heart that the senior sister's direct decision was for her own good.
Seeing that everything had been arranged, Nan Si Ning stopped worrying about it. After checking on Cong Chen's situation, he returned to his own courtyard thoughtfully.
She noticed a problem from her eighth senior brother.
Although spiritual damage such as spiritual consciousness is highly valued in the world of cultivation, that kind of trauma is mostly caused by spells, magical instruments, formations, and the like. People like Cong Chen, who suffered a shock to their cognition and psychology due to sudden changes and torture, resulting in both psychological and spiritual damage, have not been taken seriously.
The Qingxin Pills and Ningshen Pills given by the King of Medicine can help calm emotions and relieve moods to a certain extent, but they cannot effectively relieve or even cure the irritation and pain.
Before closing the courtyard door, Nan Si Ning said to Qin Sangyue, "Big Sister, I'm going to retreat for a few days to refine the elixir. Remember to ask Seventh Senior Sister to not slack off in helping Sixth Senior Brother cultivate."
Qin Sangyue couldn't help but smile. "You, a little kid, are so worried. I'll keep an eye on Sixth Junior Brother's affairs, don't worry! If you want to refine the elixir, don't overwork yourself, okay?"
Nan Sining nodded and responded very obediently.
Zhou Lixing watched Nan Si Ning and the little beast open the courtyard's restrictions. Soon, he could no longer detect any movement. He couldn't help but ask, "Big Sister, Junior Sister has only rested for less than two days, and she's already refining pills again. Will she be able to hold on?"
In Zhou Lixing's mind, the junior sister is still that delicate girl who needs love and care.
Qin Sangyue said, "It's quite good that Junior Sister is in seclusion right now. When you were at the Discipline Hall today, you saw several elders who had been in seclusion come out. They all came for Junior Sister's Longevity Pill. You could tell, right?"
Zhou Lixing nodded.
"But refining the Longevity Pill consumes a lot of energy and vitality. I don't want my Junior Sister to refine so many for others in a row. So if my Junior Sister goes into seclusion, those old guys won't be able to force her to refine the Longevity Pill right away. If my Junior Sister refines other pills, at least it won't be so exhausting, don't you think?"
Zhou Lixing finally understood a little and said hurriedly, "Big Sister, you are very thoughtful. I didn't think of this."
Qin Sangyue continued, "As for when Junior Sister will come out of seclusion, it doesn't matter. Junior Sister doesn't have to participate in the sect competition."
As long as Cong Chen recovers, Cijian Peak's combat power will be full. In addition to the elixirs, talismans, and magical tools prepared by Nan Sining for them, Qin Sangyue is more confident in this competition.
Zhou Lixing agreed with this: "If possible, Junior Sister, you don't have to participate in the competition. You have already made quite a splash by refining a top-grade longevity pill this time."
Nan Sining was able to upgrade a mid-grade longevity elixir to a high-grade one in just three days. Thanks to the great elder's tireless publicity and show-off, this matter was already known to everyone in the sect.
The young cultivators probably only knew that top-grade longevity pills were very valuable, and would envy Nan Si Ning for receiving so many thank-you gifts from the Great Elder. However, the older monsters desired this high-quality longevity pill more than any other treasure, especially those who were nearing the end of their lifespans but had made little progress in their cultivation.
A top-grade longevity pill could extend one's lifespan by ten to twenty years. These extra years could offer a chance to reverse one's fate. This kind of experience existed among the senior cultivators.
The little junior sister suddenly became a hot figure outside, which made the senior brothers and sisters in Cijian Peak more worried than happy. With the master not around, no one could protect the little junior sister, and the little junior sister had to bear the risk of being coveted by countless monks with high cultivation levels.
"Right now, they are still a little wary of Little Junior Sister, so they won't act rashly. Little Junior Sister's seclusion is just a temporary solution. Maybe things will turn around—"
Just as they said this, they heard someone calling out from a high place: "Junior Sister Qin! Junior Brother Zhou!"
Looking up, it was Qin Xueyang who came with Xiao Jingwen.
Soon, the two of them landed in front of Qin Sangyue and the others. Qin Xueyang said, "I heard that your eighth junior brother has returned home, so my junior brother and I came to visit him."
Qin Sangyue responded, "No need to be so polite."
Xiao Jingwen couldn't wait to ask: "Where's Junior Sister Nan? Where's Junior Sister Nan? She hasn't gone out recently. I haven't seen her for a long time."
He was not familiar with Cong Chen, and he came here to see Nan Si Ning.
Zhou Lixing immediately maxed out his defense against this fool who was always hanging around his junior sister: "My junior sister is in seclusion, you can't see her!"
Xiao Jingwen exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" "How could it be such a coincidence!"
Qin Xueyang glanced at his foolish junior brother with disdain before saying, "Junior Sister Nan, are you afraid of being disturbed by outsiders, so you've gone into seclusion? We came this time to bring her some good news. Someone has consigned several top-grade longevity pills to our auction house, as well as several bottles of high-grade longevity pills. I'm sure those old guys will rush to the auction house to buy them."
Zhou Lixing was immediately overjoyed and said, "Is this true?!"
Xiao Jingwen nodded: "Of course it's true! Otherwise, why would we rush here so anxiously?"
Qin Sangyue also smiled with joy: "If it's true, with those longevity pills, Junior Sister can live a peaceful life. I don't know which great master came up with so many longevity pills at once."
Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen smiled but said nothing. The powerful person you are talking about is your dear little junior sister!
Unfortunately, Nan Sining specifically told the two of them not to leak this matter, so the two of them only revealed a little to their master, the Medicine King, and no one else dared to let anyone know.
This time, after the Great Elder regained his youth, it attracted countless people's attention. In the Canglan Sect alone, many old guys came out of seclusion. Qin Xueyang was not to be mentioned. Xiao Jingwen, whose brain was not very quick, finally understood why his senior sister had given him a gag order.
If this were to get out, Junior Sister Nan would probably be snatched away. If things got even worse, she would most likely be targeted by some evil-minded cultivators and captured to make longevity pills day and night.
Fortunately, Qin Sangyue was not asking who the great alchemist was, so Qin Xueyang quickly changed the topic and went to see Cong Chen first.
Nan Si Ning was in seclusion, so Qin Xueyang and Xiao Jingwen didn't want to stay any longer. They asked Qin Sangyue to pass on a message: "Master and Peak Master Yu have been meditating on the Dao of Alchemy for three days and three nights. They're very happy right now. We've made an appointment with Peak Master Yu to have a competition between Yaofeng and Yaowang City. We'd like to invite Junior Sister Nan to join us then. Also, the Beastmaster Sect has sent someone here, and they might be looking for Junior Sister Nan as well."
"The Beast Taming Sect? What do they want from Junior Sister?" The people from Cijian Peak immediately became alert again.
Seeing how sensitive they were, Qin Xueyang found it amusing and quickly tried to appease them, "I'm not looking for trouble. Junior Sister Nan previously refined some Human Words Pills and other elixirs in Medicine King City, all for beasts. They were bought by the Beast Taming Sect, who said the pills were very effective, so I wanted to ask Junior Sister Nan for advice."
