Rong Zi didn't say anything more to Gu Xiaochui, but instead reached out her hand to Yun Jing beside her.
"Yun Jing, take out the sword that I gave you today."
Yun Jing didn't understand what she wanted to do, but she still took out the black sword from the jade and handed it to her.
From the moment the black sword appeared, Gu Xiaochui's eyes widened.
He stopped eating the meat in his bowl, staring intently at the sword in Rong Zi's hand, and exclaimed in surprise, "This...this...this is a high-level spirit sword?"
High-level spiritual artifacts are extremely difficult to forge; usually, only weapon refiners who have reached the Nascent Soul stage or higher can create such artifacts.
Even so, crafting each weapon requires a considerable amount of time and effort from the weapon refiner.
The materials required are extremely precious.
In the world of cultivation, apart from the direct disciples of the five major sects, almost no one is qualified to possess a high-level spiritual sword.
Rong Zi raised his hand and gracefully twirled his sword.
"Are high-grade spirit swords so special? Every one of my disciples gets one."
After saying that, she gave Yun Jing a wink.
Seeing this, Yun Jing took out another white sword.
Gu Xiaochui's pupils dilated.
Another high-level spirit sword?!
He was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized that Rong Zi had referred to himself as "master" when he spoke to Yun Jing earlier.
He turned his attention to Yun Jing, and was shocked to find that the child was actually at the Qi Refining stage, just like him.
A six or seven-year-old child, at the Qi Refining stage?!
What kind of talent does that require?
Even children with such talent are her disciples, and she can casually pick up two high-level spirit swords. This girl might really have some special abilities.
Rong Zi glanced at Gu Xiaochui with an inscrutable expression.
"Judging from your aptitude, you should have dual metal and fire elemental roots. With such roots, would a major sect like the Shuiyuan Sect really be willing to accept you?"
Gu Xiaochui was surprised, "You can actually see through my spiritual root at a glance?"
A person's spiritual root cannot be seen with the naked eye unless that person's cultivation level is really high.
But this girl clearly only has the cultivation level of the Qi Refining stage...
Rong Zi took the white sword from Yun Jing's hand and waved it in front of Gu Xiaochui.
"How about it? Think about it? As long as you're willing to become my apprentice, this sword will be yours."
Gu Xiaochui actually considered it seriously, "But I don't even know who you are..."
"I apologize, it was my oversight." Rong Zi cleared his throat. "Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Rong Zi, and I am the sect leader of Rongling Sect. This is my disciple, Yun Jing."
“Rongling Sect?” Gu Xiaochui shook his head. “Never heard of it.”
That's right, you haven't heard of it.
Their sect can't even gather enough people for a single mahjong game; it would be strange to have heard of such a thing.
Gu Xiaochui hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head. "I still think that only by joining a major sect can one obtain more cultivation opportunities. A cultivator can only join one sect and have one master in his lifetime, so it's better to be cautious."
Rong Zi sighed inwardly.
It seems her future apprentice isn't as easily fooled as she thought...
However, his answer was somewhat within her expectations.
In his previous life, Gu Xiaochui went to many sects, but was rejected by all of them before finally giving up and becoming a rogue cultivator that no sect wanted.
Even in the original text, Yun Qin only found an opportunity to lure him into the Yao Huo Sect when he had experienced setbacks and was completely desperate.
No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Rong Zi nodded and sheathed his sword. "Since that's the case, I won't force you."
"However, since you just ate two bowls of meat from me, I won't charge you much. Just twenty high-grade spirit stones will do. Please pay the spirit stones first, and then we'll part ways. You can continue to find your great sect."
Gu Xiaochui was stunned, "Spirit stones?"
Those pieces of meat actually cost money?
"No way, no way? You're not trying to dine and dash, are you? We saved your life and we haven't even asked you to repay us yet, and you're going to turn around and repay kindness with enmity, eating meat but not giving us spirit stones?"
Yun Jing: ...That familiar, sarcastic tone.
Gu Xiaochui hurriedly explained.
"No, it's not me, I'm fine, I just..." He looked troubled, "Could you make it cheaper? Two bowls of meat cost twenty high-grade spirit stones, that's too expensive, I don't have that many spirit stones."
"What you ate wasn't ordinary meat, but meat containing a large amount of spiritual energy, which is extremely valuable. Didn't you feel any changes in your body? This kind of thing, which is very beneficial to cultivation, is only being offered to you for twenty high-grade spirit stones. This is already a discounted price because we are destined to meet."
Gu Xiaochui was speechless.
Indeed, the spiritual energy contained in this meat was very rich. He now felt that his body was full of spiritual energy, and he even had a faint feeling that he was about to break through his cultivation level.
Rong Zi then changed the subject.
"Of course, if you are my disciple, one of our own, then it's a different story. Not only will you not eat this meat, but I, as your master, can get you whatever you want to eat."
Then she took out a bag of dried meat and handed it to Yun Jing with a loving expression, "Disciple, here, have some dried meat to satisfy your craving."
Yun Jing got goosebumps when she heard her deliberately gentle voice.
The moment the jerky was taken out, an even richer and purer spiritual energy spread out, and Gu Xiaochui was almost overwhelmed by the aroma.
