The beautiful master only told Liu Yunqing that he had prepared a small gift for her, his tone very casual.
Liu Yunqing didn't take it seriously. She was already very grateful that he was willing to take her as his disciple after knowing her true situation and to teach her and answer her questions.
As for other small gifts, whether or not they were given, Liu Yunqing didn't really care.
But what were those shiny things inside the storage bracelet? They were spirit stones!
What are those bottles, jars, and sealed jade boxes neatly arranged on the medicine shelf? They are elixirs and medicinal herbs!
There was also a pile of swords, spears, and halberds radiating a chilling aura, and a row of small bookshelves neatly arranged with ancient books and jade slips containing cultivation techniques.
And a bunch of boxes of all sizes, the contents of which are unknown.
Although it only occupies a small corner compared to the storage bracelet, when all of it is put out, it can fill an entire room.
Is this what they call a small gift?
Liu Yunqing was deeply shocked. After carefully considering and organizing the information, her emotions were even more shaken.
The spirit stones piled on the ground were all low-grade spirit stones, which, in addition to being used, were also the main currency for buying and selling goods in the market.
Besides these spirit stones, the neatly stacked boxes next to them also contained mid-grade and high-grade spirit stones that are not usually circulated in the market.
Although it's much less than a huge pile of low-grade spirit stones, one mid-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a thousand low-grade spirit stones, and one high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for a thousand mid-grade spirit stones.
After doing this calculation, Liu Yunqing felt her back gradually straightening.
After looking at the spirit stones, I looked at the pile of bottles and jars.
They are all kinds of pills for healing injuries or temporarily replenishing spiritual energy.
Yes, it also includes some strangely flavored medicinal liquids that clearly came from the hands of the beautiful master.
The herbs in the jade box, although not mostly rare or precious medicines, were of very good quality and were mostly those that could not be bought temporarily on the market.
Opening the larger chests revealed that they no longer contained spiritual items, but rather low-level necessities needed by low-level cultivators, including but not limited to clothes, shoes, socks, pots and pans, tea, and dry rations.
Looking at the treasure in front of him, Liu Yunqing felt that he had found a generous master, and his heart was filled with joy and peace of mind.
Seeing these ordinary things before her, she could no longer laugh.
It wasn't that I was unhappy, but rather a more complex emotion.
She was moved, but also apprehensive.
Although the beautiful master didn't say it, Liu Yunqing could guess that she must be a powerful figure from the Tai Xuan Sect.
She was so decisive in becoming an apprentice, but she must have thought about it a little beforehand.
Whether the other party accepted her out of appreciation for her talent, out of disgust for Liu Yunzhao and his apprentice, or out of a sense of karma, Liu Yunqing felt it was all perfectly reasonable.
Such a powerful being, having transcended the mortal realm for countless years, would only think of such thoughtful everyday items out of genuine care for a true junior, and would prepare them all in such a short time.
Liu Yunqing had never experienced such special favoritism towards her before.
Even when she was with Liu's mother and son, and they were still putting on a show of maternal love, filial piety, and sibling affection, it was mostly just talk. Such meticulous care was something she had never experienced before.
The only real concern she showed was that whenever she was bullied by members of the clan, her mother would personally apply medicine to her wounds.
But she later learned that the reason they applied the medicine was to prevent damage to her appearance, which would make her less valuable in the future.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Yunqing in her previous life was certain that her mother and younger brother truly loved her.
The contrast between this genuine warmth and care, devoid of any superfluous words or demands, truly made her feel apprehensive.
It made her feel...unsure how to respond.
After a long while, Liu Yunqing blinked her slightly moist eyes and finally understood what her master meant by "Although you are not by my side, now that you have become my disciple, I will not mistreat you."
Liu Yunqing let out a soft breath and a faint smile appeared on her face.
It's alright. In the long years to come, there will always be a time when she can repay her master.
After closing all the boxes and cages, Liu Yunqing looked at the pile of weapons.
Not much: a beautiful fire-attribute spirit bow, a bag of arrows, one or two flying magical artifacts, and two complete sets of casual robes.
What remained were some small, miscellaneous hidden weapons, a box of talismans, and several array plates.
Finally, Liu Yunqing turned his gaze to several jade slips.
Without a doubt, they are all fire-related techniques and secret skills.
"Your master is quite something. I didn't expect her to be willing to give you such a good thing."
Liu Yunqing looked through the various cultivation techniques one by one, and was hesitating about which one to choose when he heard Xiao Jin's voice ring in his mind.
Whether it was Liu Yunqing's imagination or not, she felt that Xiao Jin's voice seemed to have changed, as if it wasn't as sweet as before.
Just as Liu Yunqing was about to ask a question, she saw a faint red light flash on one of the jade slips, and heard Xiao Jin's excited voice say:
"Master, choose this one!"
Liu Yunqing's attention was drawn to the cultivation technique, and he temporarily put aside his doubts. He picked up the jade slip that was flashing red light and put it on his forehead to examine it.
"This jade slip was obtained by your master from a secret realm. It should be a high-level fire attribute technique, but unfortunately no one has been able to master it yet. You may try your luck."
The moment the jade slip was placed on the forehead, it was the beautiful master's guidance on the cultivation technique, followed by the content of the technique itself.
With just one glance, Liu Yunqing felt a burning sensation in her eyes, and before her was a raging sea of fire that blotted out the sky.
This fire is unlike any other fire, which flows like a river or resembles lava in a lake or sea. Rather, it is like heavenly fire that melts the sun and pours down from the sky.
The moment Liu Yunqing's thought crossed her mind, the surging, sky-shaking fire squeezed into her sea of consciousness through her brow.
"boom--!!!"
"ah!!!"
The violent impact nearly shattered Liu Yunqing's newly opened sea of consciousness, and the pain caused her to scream in agony, completely unprepared.
Fortunately, because she had forcibly entered the Golden Crow Ring and broken through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, her sea of consciousness had quietly opened while she was unconscious.
Otherwise, with that kind of impact, without the protection of a powerful divine soul nurtured for a hundred years, one would either die directly or be burned into an idiot.
Even so, Liu Yunqing's vision went black again and again, and it took a long time for his mind to recover from the shock.
Fortunately, although the situation was quite dangerous, it wasn't all for nothing.
His sea of consciousness had noticeably expanded, and his divine sense, which had returned to calm, seemed to have diminished considerably. However, Liu Yunqing could sense that although his divine sense appeared to have decreased, it was actually more condensed and powerful.
The culprit behind all this was not seen by Liu Yunqing at first glance, but was discovered on the second glance: a round red sun had appeared in the sky above his sea of consciousness.
The edge of the red sun emitted a faint golden-red light, and one could feel its extreme heat at a glance.
As soon as Liu Yunqing's divine sense approached, the red sun noticed and transformed into the two characters "Heavenly Fire" and imprinted them into her mind. Immediately afterwards, a cultivation technique incantation was recited in her mind.
Only after Liu Yunqing had memorized the incantation did the red sun once again emerge from its divine consciousness and hang in the sky above the sea of consciousness.
At this moment, Liu Yunqing had no time to think about anything else. As the sun rose high in the sky again, her body automatically assumed a cultivation posture and began to circulate her spiritual energy, cultivating according to the incantation.
After Liu Yunqing entered a meditative state, the Golden Crow Ring flashed on her finger and appeared in the center of the red sun in her sea of consciousness.
