When Chen Sui caught up with Shen Xinglan, Shen Xinglan was kicking pebbles by the Xuantian Lake.
"Second Brother." Chen Sui called out.
Shen Xinglan raised his eyes to look at her: "How come you're only at the eighth level of Qi Refining? Have you been neglecting your training recently because of the sword-controlling thing?"
Speaking of this, Chen Sui frowned: "No, I have been practicing, but I feel like my aura is rusty and I can't circulate it in my body. I think it's a problem of level barrier. By the way, Second Brother, do you think I should go buy a foundation-building pill?"
Shen Xinglan sneered, "Do you still need to buy this thing? Why don't you just ask me directly? I have plenty of Foundation Establishment Pills."
Chen Sui whispered, “Top-grade foundation-building pills are so valuable.”
"Wow, Chen Sui, you have quite the appetite. You want the top-grade foundation-building pill right away." Shen Xinglan heard the hidden meaning in Chen Sui's words and couldn't help but roll his eyes. "But luckily, I, your senior brother, am an unparalleled genius. I'll make it for you in a few days, okay?"
Shen Sui smiled happily: "I knew that senior brother is the best."
"By the way, how come you are together with Mo Yanlin?" Shen Xinglan asked with a frown.
Chen Sui: "...Brother, can we use more cultured words? I went to the sword training ground today and happened to see Brother Mo teaching his junior sister. I have been thinking about flying the sword, but you and your sister are nowhere to be seen, so I had no choice but to ask Brother Mo."
The more Chen Sui spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, especially when she thought about how she had just shown Shen Xinglan the sword-controlling technique that she had finally learned after falling for more than half a month, but Shen Xinglan had just nodded lightly without making any expression.
As soon as Shen Xinglan saw her expression, he knew what she was thinking. Shen Sui's thoughts were too easy to guess because they were written all over her face. Shen Xinglan curled her lips and said, "I think you've lost your brain in the past half month. Do you know what the pill I just gave you is?"
"It's a top-grade rejuvenation pill that's in short supply."
Shen Sui: “…”
Having learned some basic knowledge about elixirs, she knew the therapeutic effects of ordinary rejuvenation pills, but she didn't know what the top-grade rejuvenation pill looked like. However, it was no wonder that the word "top-grade" was added, and the effect was indeed top-grade. In a short while, she felt that the pain in her body, which had been caused by the fall for half a month, was not so severe.
Chen Sui immediately said, "Brother, you must be exhausted from refining pills for the past half month. You have worked so hard. Next time, if you and your sister are in seclusion, I will go directly to the headmaster and ask him to teach me sword skills."
Shen Xinglan: "Hehe."
“But Brother, since you hate Brother Mo, why did you chat with him so well before?” Shen Sui was a little confused about this.
Shen Xinglan snorted coldly: "Because I simply hate his crazy fans."
Shen Sui: “…”
Over the past half month, Chen Sui has been systematically learning about this world. She learned that this world of immortal cultivation is divided into three territories, and the territory she is in is called Zihui Realm.
There are five major sects in the Zihui Realm, namely Xuantian Sect, Taiji Sect, Jiuxiao Sect, Bamen Palace, and Ziyang Temple.
Among them, the disciples of Xuantian Sect mainly practice swordsmanship, the disciples of Taiji Sect mainly practice talismans, the disciples of Jiuxiao Sect mainly tame spirit beasts, the disciples of Bamen Palace advocate physical training, and the disciples of Ziyang Temple mainly practice alchemy.
According to the results of the competition among the five major sects in recent years, the Bamen Palace has always been at the top of the list of the five major sects, the Jiuxiao Sect has long been in second place, and the other three sects have taken turns to sit in third place.
"Senior Sister should be very powerful, and Senior Brother Mo is not bad either, so why isn't our Xuantian Sect number one?" Shen Sui couldn't help but ask Shen Xinglan this question.
Shen Xinglan sneered, "Of course it's because those old bastards from the other four sects have come up. They know that many of our Xuantian Sect disciples go down the mountain to train outside all year round, so they use the human wave tactic almost every year."
Chen Sui nodded in agreement: "It's really disgusting to us disciples."
But Shen Xinglan looked at him strangely. "Disgusted us? That's fine. The main disgust is the Sect Leader, because the last-place sect has to donate 10 million high-grade spirit stones for the prizes. Our elders just said it in a nice way. The other three sects take turns to sit in third place, but our Xuantian Sect has been ranked last for three consecutive years."
Chen Sui: "...Our sect is quite generous. They gave away 30 million high-grade spirit stones without hesitation. I don't need to explain how powerful this is."
"I estimate it will reach 40 million this year," Shen Xinglan said lightly. "I've seen the statistics of the number of new disciples recruited by the five major sects this year, and our Xuantian Sect still ranks last."
Shen Sui couldn't help but sigh, then she remembered something: "Oh, brother, these are for you."
Chen Sui took out a stack of talismans from his mustard seed bracelet, which was even thicker than the last time, and stuffed it into Shen Xinglan's hand. "I've been drawing talismans for over half a month now, and I've already used up almost one-tenth of the blank talisman paper you bought me last time."
Shen Xinglan whistled and didn't refuse Shen Sui. He put the talisman Shen Sui gave him into his mustard seed bracelet without hesitation. "If anyone dares to question my swordsmanship in the future, I will pull out a handful of talisman paper and perform a celestial maiden scattering flowers on them."
Hearing this, Shen Sui smiled and said, "I wonder how Second Senior Brother's swordsmanship is."
"It's just so-so, no exaggeration," Shen Xinglan immediately revealed a condescending attitude, "At least he can beat ten senior sisters, okay."
Shen Sui chuckled.
Another month passed, and Chen Sui was still stuck in the Great Perfection stage of Qi Refining. Although the level barrier had not been broken, Chen Sui was not in a hurry. He went to class with Shen Xinglan in the morning, went to the cafeteria of Xuantian Sect to eat steamed buns at noon, and stayed in the thatched hut to practice and draw talismans in the afternoon and evening.
According to Shen Xinglan's words, he really admired Chen Sui's perseverance in eating only white steamed buns every day without changing his expression. Because Xuantian Sect had to donate 10 million spirit stones every year, in order to maintain the normal operation of the sect, it had to reduce expenses on the cafeteria.
In this regard, the only reason Xuantian Sect gave to its thousands of disciples was that those who practiced Taoism must learn to starve to death.
Yes, that is, starving to death. Shen Xinglan felt that Xuantian Sect was the most stingy sect among the five major sects. No sect was willing to be the first.
Damn it, not only does the cafeteria only provide white steamed buns, but even the sect’s sales of fasting pills are more expensive than those of the other four major sects. No wonder the disciples of Xuantian Sect are crazy about starting side businesses, otherwise they wouldn’t know when they would starve to death.
Maybe after he starved to death and his body was collected by the Xuantian Sect, white steamed buns would be placed in front of the tombstone every year when people visited his grave.
speechless.
