Jin Ling'er really couldn't understand why her cousin brought the fool from the Big Knife Sect to ask such a weird question.
"Senior Brother Xie and Junior Brother Yun are strong because they are both naturally gifted and have good understanding."
As Jin Ling'er spoke, she directly opened a page of the communication jade slip and let them see the results of Yun Feimiao and Xie Yang's talent tests.
"Brother Shangguan, take a look for yourself. These two are more understanding of Taoism than you, right?"
Shangguan Shuo: “…”
It seems to be five or six points stronger than him.
But in Taoism, every improvement in your understanding will lead to a lot more insights.
"Let's take a look at our Wanjian Sect's morning and evening exercises."
Jin Ling'er said as she opened another form.
"I guess the Big Sword Sect should have this as well. This is the attendance list for Senior Brother Xie and Junior Brother Yun."
"Except for periods of seclusion, missions, and family leave, they were never absent."
Shangguan Shuo looked at the form and felt that he could not compare with Xie Yang in this aspect, but he should be better than Yun Feimiao, right?
After all, Yun Feimiao has been in seclusion for two years. How much morning and evening exercises must he have saved?
"In addition to the times stipulated by the sect, Junior Brother Xie will practice for an extra hour in the morning and evening, and Junior Brother Yun will practice for an extra half hour."
Shangguan Shuo: “…”
He didn't have a fixed schedule. He would usually practice swordsmanship for a while when he felt like it. The time he spent practicing could be long or short, sometimes there was extra practice, sometimes not...
"And this is our Duiwu Peak's record. Look at how many talismans and formation plates these two can provide to Duiwu Peak every year. These are all carved by themselves."
"Look at the elixirs provided by the two disciples of Jiandan Peak, and the magical instruments provided by the two disciples of Jianqi Peak."
"Senior Brother Shangguan only needs to hone his swordsmanship. He should have much more practice time than them, right?"
Shangguan Shuo: “…”
Jin Rui patted Shangguan Shuo on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Shangguan, do you understand now? Natural talent and understanding are certainly important, but hard work is also indispensable."
Jin Ling'er put away her communication jade slip. "Isn't that right? Senior Brother Xie has a higher level of understanding than Senior Brother Shangguan, and he works harder than Senior Brother Shangguan. Isn't it natural that he is stronger than Senior Brother Shangguan?"
"What do you mean, if there is no woman in your heart, you will naturally become a god when you draw your sword?"
"No way? No way? No one would think it's all a woman's fault just because they don't practice swordsmanship properly, right?"
Jin Ling'er looked Shangguan Shuo up and down.
"From what I see, Senior Brother Shangguan doesn't look like he has a Taoist partner!"
“…”
Shangguan Shuo couldn't help but cover his chest. These words were too heartbreaking.
This Junior Sister Jin looks sweet and lovely, but every word she says is like a knife, stabbing him in the heart.
There are too many talented people in the Wanjian Sect this generation. If Junior Sister Jin learns to fly knives, she may have a better future.
Jin Rui tugged at Jin Ling'er's sleeve, pulled her aside, and whispered, "You're my friend after all, so give me some respect, please."
Jin Ling'er snorted coldly, "I'm still from the Wanjian Sect. Did he give me face by asking me that?"
"It's fine for ordinary disciples of the Big Sword Sect to gossip, but what they say is just gossip."
"But Shangguan Shuo is a direct disciple! The words of a direct disciple have a certain authority, and to some extent, they can represent the attitude of the sect!"
"Not to mention that Shangguan Shuo is the most famous one among their Dadao clan."
"With his status, can he speak carelessly?"
"If his words were to get out and damage the reputation of our Wanjian Sect, as well as Senior Brother Xie and Junior Brother Yun, can you afford the compensation, Ninth Brother?"
"I can't afford it!" Jin Rui shook his head quickly, but then he felt something was wrong. "Wait, why do I have to pay for it?"
Jin Ling'er curled her lips: "Who told you, Ninth Brother, to meddle in other people's business and let him do whatever he wants?"
"You little girl..." Jin Rui reached out and poked her forehead. "Come on, just tell me. What do you like about me that you have to put such a big accusation on me?"
The direct descendants of the Jin family are all very wealthy. Jin Rui thinks it’s okay to give something to please his sister. He is not such a stingy person.
"I want all the Snow Soul Fruits in Ninth Brother's hand! If you can't bear to give them away, half will do."
Jin Rui: “…”
He didn't want to be stingy, but the Xuepo fruit was really hard to get. He spent a lot of effort but only got eight.
This thing has a wide range of uses. It is not only beneficial to cultivators with ice spiritual roots, but also to cultivators with water spiritual roots. There is even a certain probability of converting water spiritual roots into ice spiritual roots with stronger attack power.
However, Jin Rui did not care about these two effects. He preferred the effect of Xuepo Fruit in clearing away fire poison and clearing the mind.
The disciples of their Weapon Forging Sect spend every day around the high-temperature refining furnace. It's okay for cultivators with fire spiritual roots, but those with gold spiritual roots can easily get fire poison if they are not careful.
Although the probability is not high, Jin Rui doesn't want to gamble, so he wants to get himself two Snow Soul Fruits to eat.
Then he thought of his older brothers, all of whom were admirers of Yun Feiyin. They would easily become irritated when they saw Yun Feiyin and Ye Zheng getting close.
Jin Rui thought they also needed Xuepo Fruit to cool down, so he got a few more.
In the past two years, almost all the Snow Soul Fruits collected by the Jin family auction house went into Jin Rui's pocket.
"This thing should be of no use to you, right? What do you want it for?" Jin Rui couldn't help but ask another question.
"I want to try one, can't I?"
"Besides, I have a very good senior sister who happens to have ice spirit roots. It wouldn't be too much to give her one, right?"
"And Junior Brother Yun, he has a Heavenly Grade Water Spiritual Root, and he has blessed us with such a purifying rain. We should all express our gratitude, right?"
