Rong Zi reached out to check and found that Ning Lingling had indeed successfully broken through, which put his mind at ease.
She then looked at Xu Chi beside her.
"And you?"
Xu Chi's face also turned red, and he slowly responded.
"I've also broken through."
Once it was confirmed that both of them had successfully broken through to the Qi Refining stage, Rong Zi had them get out of the bathtub, and then used a magic hand seal to dry their clothes.
"Alright, now that you've all successfully broken through, come over here. There's something else I need to tell you."
So, Rong Zi and his seven disciples all sat together.
Rong Zi asked, "You two became disciples at the same time, and there's no ranking yet, so I'd like to ask about your own wishes regarding the ranking."
Ning Lingling raised her hand and volunteered, "I want to be the junior sister."
Rong Zi was somewhat surprised. "Hmm? Why?"
“My talent is not as good as Xu Chi’s, so I’m more suited to be the junior sister. Besides…” Ning Lingling chuckled and scratched her head, “I heard that junior sisters in other sects are all the darlings of the sect.”
She has dual mixed spiritual roots, while Xu Chi has a high-grade wood spiritual root.
Her talent is far inferior to Xu Chi's.
Rong Zi nodded, then asked Xu Chi, "Do you have any opinions?"
Xu Chi's expression remained as gloomy as ever, and he shook his head.
"No."
Rong Zi made the final decision, "In that case, from now on you will be her sixth senior brother, and you will be the junior sister of all of them."
No one had any objection to this result.
Rong Zi then said, "Now that the rankings have been determined, the next step is to decide on your cultivation direction."
Ning Lingling blinked. "Cultivation direction?"
"Hmm." Rong Zi nodded, then asked Xu Chi, "Xu Chi, tell me, do you want to be a beast tamer?"
Xu Chi looked puzzled and spoke slowly.
"What is a Beast Tamer?"
Rong Zi thought for a moment and explained to him in the simplest terms: "It means you can control a lot of animals and great monsters, and then make them fight for you."
Upon hearing this, Ning Lingling immediately spoke excitedly.
“This suits him best. He usually loves interacting with small animals. He doesn’t talk much to people, but he can chat with an ant that walks by his feet for a whole day.”
Xu Chi was clearly also very interested in the abilities of the Beast Tamer.
He glanced at Cai Niu, who was perched on Rong Zi's shoulder, and pointed at it, asking, "Can you control Cai Niu too?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Niu immediately exploded.
"Why are you controlling me if there's nothing wrong with me?"
It knew that the kid was looking at it with ill intent!
Rong Zi patted Cai Niu's turtle head, signaling it to calm down.
Only then did he answer Xu Chi's question.
"As long as you become powerful enough, you can certainly control Cai Niu. However, the ability of a contracted spirit beast is also related to its master's ability. As long as your ability is stronger than the master who contracted it, you will naturally be able to control it."
After listening, Xu Chi immediately responded.
"I want to be a beast tamer."
Rong Zi: "Okay, I'll find you a suitable cultivation method later."
With Xu Chi's cultivation path determined, it's Ning Lingling's turn next.
Rong Zi asked her, "What about you? Is there anything you like? Weapons are fine too."
If she likes swords, she could become a sword cultivator like Ling Mo and Xi Ling'er, which would be quite nice.
Upon hearing about weapons, Ning Lingling immediately became interested and asked with great enthusiasm, "I like broadswords, can you be a sword repairman?"
"A sword cultivator?" Qi Yufei interjected. "I've only ever seen sword cultivators; sword cultivators are a rare cultivation method."
Gu Xiaochui chimed in, "Why would a little girl like you like knives?"
Shouldn't junior sisters be delicate, cute, and always protected by their senior brothers and sisters?
Whose junior sister is carrying a big sword?
"What's wrong with a knife? Knives are so impressive!" Ning Lingling spread her arms and gestured. "When we get a knife this big, it will look really impressive and powerful when we carry it on our shoulders."
Everyone: "..."
This little girl is so small, yet she's carrying such a big knife.
Can it withstand it?
Ning Lingling tugged at Rong Zi's sleeve, looking at her expectantly and asking with a face full of anticipation.
"Master, is it alright? Is it alright? Can I become a sword cultivator?"
Rong Zi hesitated for a moment before replying, "That's possible, but our sect doesn't have any decent swords to make weapons for you."
"Here's what we'll do. When I have time, I'll prepare some top-quality materials and have your second senior brother forge one for you. Later, I'll look around and see if there's any sword manual or anything for you to practice with."
Upon hearing this, Ning Lingling grinned happily, "Thank you, Master."
Rong Zi gave an awkward reply.
"I'm glad you like it."
She knew it; how could her apprentice possibly be normal?
A big knife it is.
At least carrying it out would make you look impressive.
Putting aside whether he can beat others, being able to intimidate people with his aura is not bad.
The disciples had already gotten to know each other, and the cultivation directions of the two disciples had been roughly determined. So Rong Zi expelled the five disciples from the Hongmeng Ring.
Tell them not to waste time and to hurry up and go out to cultivate.
After his five apprentices left, Rong Zi plunged headfirst into the mountain of books and began rummaging through them.
Xu Chi and Ning Lingling saw that their master's body was half-buried in the pile of books, with only her two legs sticking out. They craned their necks and asked her curiously.
