Ji Yuanchi immediately shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at Xu Yuehuai, "I didn't... I..."
"Since it's not, then take the things." Xu Yuehuai didn't give her a chance to speak or hesitate, and stuffed the things back into her hands. "Alright, I've been traveling all the way back and haven't had a proper rest yet. I'm going to rest now."
Since Xu Yuehuai had already said that, Ji Yuanchi dared not say anything more.
Watching Xu Yuehuai's departing figure, she secretly vowed in her heart that she must become stronger and then protect Xu Yuehuai.
Later, although she failed to become a powerful figure feared by everyone, she protected Xu Yuehuai with her own life.
...
After leaving the alchemy room, Xu Yuehuai did not immediately go back to rest. After leaving Siyue Mountain Peak, she walked towards Fuzhou Mountain Peak. When she reached the entrance, the disciple had already learned that Xu Yuehuai had returned. He had been waiting there for Xu Yuehuai.
"Senior sister! Wait!" Xu Yuehuai was walking ahead when her junior brother saw her and called out to stop her.
But when a figure appeared beside Xu Yuehuai, the disciples who wanted to step forward all hesitated and looked at each other, none of them daring to go forward.
Xu Yuehuai saw the man beside her and bowed to him, saying, "Senior Brother."
Quan Cang genuinely liked this talented and intelligent junior sister, so when he saw her being surrounded by so many people, he subconsciously stepped forward to shield her from their malicious gazes.
"Okay, go quickly, your master has been waiting for you in the main hall for a long time." Quan Cang was sent down. Fu Jia had been waiting ever since she learned that Xu Yuehuai had returned, but she hadn't seen him after waiting for so long. She thought something had delayed him, so she asked Quan Cang to come down and inquire. "Your master can't see you, and he's like an ant on a hot pan."
Xu Yuehuai glanced at the male disciples chasing after her, nodded to Quan Cang, and walked into the Talisman Mountain without looking back.
Once Xu Yuehuai was completely out of sight, Quan Cang looked at his junior brothers who were trying to slip away with a serious expression, "Stop!"
Everyone trembled slightly and stood still, not daring to move. "We're all men, I know what you're thinking, but I advise you not to come up here to die! Your Senior Sister Xu is a treasure of Talisman Mountain and Moon Compass Mountain, not someone anyone can covet."
"I'll stop here. If anyone dares to harass my junior sister again, don't blame me for telling my master," Quan Cang said threateningly.
Everyone nodded repeatedly, not daring to go against Quan Cang. After Quan Cang finished speaking, no one dared to leave until Quan Cang nodded and told them to leave. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and left the place without stopping, fearing that they would be retaliated against.
Xu Yuehuai was unaware of what was happening below; he simply reenacted the gift-giving ceremony that had taken place on Siyue Mountain Peak on Fuzhou Mountain Peak as well.
After finishing all that and listening to a few more words of nagging from Dean Fu Jia, she returned to her own courtyard. Once back, she went straight to sleep. She had been traveling for many days and hadn't had a proper rest, so she was determined to recuperate after finally getting back.
The next morning, Xu Yuehuai resumed her busy life. She had a courtyard on Fuzhou Mountain Peak. She was too tired yesterday to return to Siyue Mountain Peak. She was worried when she came down the mountain, wondering what she would do if so many people surrounded her today, just like yesterday.
However, when she came down the mountain, there was no one there, and the huge weight that had been hanging over Xu Yuehuai's heart was instantly lifted.
Her morning task was to refine pills and solidify her foundation at Siyue Mountain Peak. So she rushed to Siyue Mountain Peak, but on the way, several junior brothers who had ambushed her yesterday lowered their heads for a moment when they saw Xu Yuehuai's eyes, looking like they had done something wrong.
Xu Yuehuai had encountered several such cases along the way, but she didn't take it seriously at all. She thought that yesterday, after she went up the mountain first, her senior brother Quan Cang took quite a while to come up, so he must have warned those people.
Xu Yuehuai felt quite pleased with herself, and was already planning what gift she could give her senior brother Quan Cang to repay him.
Little did Quan Cang know, he was still laughing at the things Xu Yuehuai had given him yesterday. If he knew that Xu Yuehuai wanted to give him more things, he would probably be scared to death.
When Xu Yuehuai arrived at the mountain peak, Dean Guo had already prepared everything. Today, he planned to give Xu Yuehuai a surprise assessment to check what level of strength he was at.
When Xu Yuehuai learned of this result, her lips twitched. "Master, you're a bit cunning."
Dean Guo snorted arrogantly and said, "What do you know? That's why we caught you off guard. If you were prepared, what would be the point of the assessment?"
Xu Yuehuai: "..." There's no way to refute that.
Xu Yuehuai looked at the test question set by Dean Guo. She had never refined this kind of pill before, but the detailed refining method was written on it. After reading it for a while, Xu Yuehuai began.
In order to prevent Dean Guo from having a chance to mock her, she was extremely serious about refining the pill for the first time, even more so than when she refined the Meridian Opening Pill in Beicheng.
The pills didn't take long to refine; a pot of pills was ready in two hours.
It wasn't bottled; it was placed directly on a small plate for easy observation.
But it was precisely because of this that the smell of the pills permeated the alchemy room. Ji Yuanchi watched from the side, and she was also forced to take the test. Her talent was not enough, and she only succeeded after two attempts, and the quality was also a little worse than Xu Yuehuai's.
Ji Yuanchi felt a little disappointed. She hadn't slacked off at all in the past month, but it seemed that she still couldn't catch up with Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai had no idea what the young girl was thinking. She handed the finished pills to Dean Guo for inspection and asked, "How is it, Master? Your basic skills are pretty good, right?"
Over time, Xu Yuehuai has come to regard her two masters, fellow disciples, and senior brothers and sisters as family, and she sometimes reveals emotions that she wouldn't normally show to outsiders.
Dean Guo glanced up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. To prevent his apprentice from getting too cocky, he coughed twice and said reluctantly, "It's alright, you barely passed."
Xu Yuehuai knew his character and didn't argue with him. She waited for a while for Ji Yuanchi's finished product, gave him some pointers, and then left for the Talisman Mountain when it was time.
"Today, I will teach you how to store spiritual power in talismans. When using a talisman that can store spiritual power, you only need to spend a tiny bit of spiritual power to activate it." Fu Jia stood in front of the table.
