Chapter 94 Mother-Daughter Conflict
The treasure shopkeeper put down the things and nodded, saying: "Fellow Daoist Ji, I can take these things from you. How about giving you 2,000 spirit stones?"
Two thousand spirit stones was already a very fair price. Although this was earned from various missions over the past few years, apart from the snake grass, there was nothing particularly outstanding.
"OK."
The money saved from selling talismans these days, plus the money brought by Ji Hui and Ji Qingyuan yesterday, plus the money brought today, makes up a considerable amount.
"Sister Li, I want to see the defensive vestments."
"You come with me."
Looking at the dazzling array of robes in front of him, Ji Qingling felt like crying but had no tears.
"Isn't there anything cheaper?"
Li Xueying shook her head apologetically. "This is the case with defensive vestments. The price difference between low-quality and medium-quality ones is too big."
Alas, Ji Qingling's spirit stones were more than enough to buy a low-grade spiritual weapon robe, but the amount was far too little to buy a mid-grade one.
"How about buying a lower-quality one first? If you want to go out on a mission, you can't afford not to wear the robes. Your Coiled Dragon Arm is not as safe as the robes."
Li Xueying’s suggestion is very pertinent.
Ji Qingling couldn't make up his mind for a while, and thought about not saving it anymore and drawing more talismans these days.
She just liked the Seven Treasures Armor, and the others could not attract her interest.
"I'll think about it."
As soon as Ji Qingling returned to the sect, he heard the news that He Sheng had advanced to the foundation-building stage.
It seems that Senior Brother He has gained a lot from the forbidden area.
A few days later, Zhou Xianshan and Han Ru also broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, causing an uproar in the sect.
Although it is normal for there to be a breakthrough to the foundation-building stage from time to time among thousands of disciples, why is it that it all happens after the sect's small competition?
There were rumors before that someone saw some of the fifty winners of the competition being taken to the sect’s secret place.
When they went there, they did not hide anything, but they just could not say what happened in the forbidden area.
Perhaps the sect also wanted to let the disciples know this on purpose, in order to motivate them to work harder.
These ten people were all Qi Refining Stage masters, and now three of them have broken through one after another. How could this not be surprising?
Sun Xiang and Chen Shan from the same hospital came to inquire, but Ji Qingling did not reveal any useful information.
Thus, rumors about special rewards after the small competition, which is held once every ten years, began to spread among the outer sect again.
Sea of Clouds Peak.
Master Changxiu's face was filled with anger, and Xu Yuewan sat there without saying a word. Her injuries had taken a long time to heal, and now she was feeling a little better.
"Mother told you at the time that there would be special rewards for the competition and told you to be extremely cautious. But you underestimated him when you saw that he was at the ninth level of Qi Refining."
Xu Yuewan frowned. She did not underestimate the enemy, but it was better not to explain at this time.
"Ten people in ten years. There are so many elite disciples in the inner sect. If you miss this opportunity, the next ten years..."
Xu Yuewan immediately responded, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely be in the top ten in the next ten years."
Master Changxiu's eyebrows were about to stand up, "You haven't established your foundation in ten years? You are still just an outer disciple after ten years?"
"No, mother, don't be angry. I will definitely be able to build a foundation in ten years."
Xu Yuewan had an urge to escape. Ever since the last competition, her mother would come and scold her from time to time.
Especially after those people from the outer sect built their foundations recently, Master Changxiu became extremely angry and became emotional whenever he talked about it.
It was the same when she was a child. Some elders would consider that the children in this peak were too young, and if their parents requested, they would allow them to go to the outer gate later. So she was already quite old when she went to the outer gate.
In fact, she envied those who went to the outer sect at a young age, because as long as they practiced well there, they would not be punished.
When she was young, no matter what she did that did not meet her mother's expectations, she would always be scolded and sometimes even beaten.
No matter whether she likes it or not, as long as her mother thinks it is good, she must do it.
For example, the annoying Zhou Yan, she didn't like that star of misfortune at all. But Shi Nan Daojun liked her, so her mother forced her to play with Zhou Yan.
There are too many things like this. Even though she has been in the outer sect for many years, she still can't help but be afraid and try to please her when she sees her mother get angry.
Master Changxiu's admonition continued, but Xu Yuewan could no longer listen.
Sometimes Xu Yuewan would reflect on whether she needed to make some changes, such as not listening to her mother in everything.
Or she could express her own ideas instead of just following her mother's wishes.
Whenever she encounters something unpleasant, she can't control her emotions.
Every time this happened, she would remind herself not to become like her mother and try hard to calm her anger.
Especially as I grow older, I can guess what Master Changxiu is thinking.
It was just that he had always been frustrated before, and he was able to form the golden elixir only with the resources of his Taoist partner.
Her mortal enemy, True Man Qingqiu, is now in the late Jindan stage and may soon break through to the Yuanying stage.
This made Chang Xiu Zhenren urgently need something to prove himself, such as that his children were excellent.
Xu Yuewan's failure this time made Changxiu Zhenren very disappointed. She felt that the current situation was entirely caused by Xu Yuewan's underestimation of the enemy.
Seeing that her daughter had begun to be absent-minded, Chang Xiu Zhenren suppressed her anger and said, "Mother said this for your own good."

"Mom, I know."
The mother and daughter were each thinking about their own things, and the room became quiet again for a while.
~~ For several days, Ji Qingling did not practice, but used all his spiritual power to make talismans.
When the spiritual energy is used up, continue to meditate to absorb it, then paint again, and repeat this cycle over and over again.
She felt like a talisman-making tool, constantly gathering her energy and picking up the pen.
I drew the most expensive Exploding Rune one after another, and now my mind is filled with Exploding Rune runes.
There were a few times when I wanted to give up, but I held back when I thought about the Seven Treasures Armor.
The defensive vestment was dangling in front of her like a carrot, tempting her to keep grinding.
~ When Ji Zuo came to see her, he found that she was a little depressed.
"Why do you look like this?"
Ji Qingling didn't want to tell anyone about his own affairs. "Nothing. I was just so absorbed in drawing the talisman that I forgot the time."
Ji Zuo had no doubts, "I came to see you today because I have to go out with my master tomorrow."
If you want to go out with Daojun, just go out. Why do you have to tell me? Ji Zuo understood the confusion on Ji Qingling’s face.
"This time we are going to Qingyun Sect."
…
Seeing that Ji Qingling still looked uninterested, Ji Zuo stretched out his finger and pushed her head.
"You look listless, which is really annoying. Anyway, the master wants to take you to see the world."
Ji Qingling's eyes widened in surprise, "Take me?"
"By the way."
Ji Qingling ignored him and said, "Explain yourself quickly."
"There's nothing to explain. My master, Chongtai Daojun, is going out, and he wants to take you with him. You just need to wait at the mountain gate tomorrow morning."
"there is none left?"
"What else can it be? Just taking a young member of the sect out to see the world, that's all."
"What are you going to do?"
"Master didn't say anything. Okay, the message has been delivered. I'm leaving now."
"How early is tomorrow morning?"
Ji Zuo ignored her and walked away.
Thank you Shiyiyi for the monthly ticket!
