Xue Shiqian casually put the jade bottle away and glanced at him. "How could it be so neat? You taught her so many things, even telling her how to open the Infinite Tower. I almost let you down when I asked her about it just now."
"Don't accuse me wrongly."
Nie Yanchen said teasingly, "I know you treasure the Endless Tower very much, but I never told you about it. As for how she found out... don't you want my disciples to be more knowledgeable?"
Xue Shiqian didn't believe him, but he didn't care. He turned around and said to Tu Nian, "If you want to help her, after she returns to the Snow Valley, you can take her to the back mountains to practice. Why do you have to rush here and bribe me with snow pills so extravagantly?"
Everyone in the world of immortal cultivation knows that the Snow Pill from the Snow Valley can nourish the spirit and focus the mind, and can be used to save lives. However, only the masters of the Snow Valley throughout the ages know how to make it. Because it is not easy to make, it has always been a treasure that is worth a fortune.
After Nie Yanchen became the sect leader, the production of Snow Pills became even tighter. Not only was the supply of Snow Pills circulating on the market in short supply, but even a direct disciple like Jin Nanfeng could only get three to five a year.
Now, just to let Tu Nian enter the Endless Tower, Nie Yanchen gave Xue Shiqian a whole bottle of Xuedan. To say it was extravagant would be an understatement.
You know, what Xue Shiqian paid was just a good-quality treasure, while the number of snow pills that Nie Yanchen gave was completely comparable to a top-grade treasure from heaven and earth.
"It's not extravagant. Looking at the three sects and seven schools, your Endless Tower is the best for training spiritual consciousness. I use the things and it has the desired effect, so that's enough."
Nie Yanchen didn't care much about it. He raised his eyebrows and reminded him, "It's just that the Snow Pill is quite heavy. Brother Xue, don't pretend not to understand what I mean."
Xue Shiqian naturally understood and immediately promised, "Don't worry, I've collected so many Snow Pills from you, so even if your disciple causes trouble again, it will be enough to offset it."
"That's good."
When Nie Yanchen mentioned Tu Nian, he couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth. Xue Shiqian saw this and said with a bit of amusement, "You really care about your new disciple."
Nie Yanchen smiled, not denying his affection for Tu Nian. "My little fourth child is very smart and talented. If it were you, you would also be interested in her."
"She is talented and hardworking."
This point was indeed undeniable. After Xue Shiqian confirmed it, he was puzzled, "But asking her to enter the Endless Tower for training at this time, isn't that really forcing her to grow?"
Nie Yanchen restrained his expression and pursed his lips slightly, "I've thought about this question too, but Xiao Si is different from ordinary talisman cultivators."
Xue Shiqian's expression changed slightly, "What do you mean?"
"When ordinary cultivators improve their cultivation, their spiritual awareness will increase accordingly, but Xiao Si doesn't."
As Nie Yanchen spoke, a hollow ice ball formed in the air. "When I was teaching her talisman technique, I discovered that her spiritual awareness was like being trapped in a circle. Although she could use it normally, it was only as strong as the circle itself. Therefore, no matter how much she improved her cultivation, her spiritual awareness would not make significant progress."
"If left unchecked, her spiritual awareness will be unable to support the improvement of her cultivation. At the very least, it will affect her cultivation, and at worst, she may lose control and explode. In short, neither is a good result. Therefore, if she really wants to participate in the competition, it is very necessary to improve her spiritual awareness."
"It's really strange..."
Xue Shiqian knew what he meant and sighed helplessly, "So from what you said, you're planning to stay with me for a few days?"
Nie Yanchen shrugged. "I thought she was training in the sect, so I could at least keep an eye on her. Who would have thought she'd come to you? I can't stop her, so what else can I do but keep an eye on her?"
After a moment of silence, Xue Shiqian said, "Forget it, just stay. But Wenchang has been moving around the clan a lot these days, so remember to avoid him."
Even at this point, he still felt uneasy, and added earnestly, "After all, when I retire, Wen Chang will be the head of the Bi Hai Sect. You two will have been together for at least a hundred years, so it's best not to cause discord between the two sects."
Nie Yanchen still looked nonchalant. He smiled and patted his shoulder, "I understand the logic. Besides, I'm the leader of a sect now, after all. For both public and private reasons, I wouldn't do anything frivolous with him. Don't worry, Brother Xue."
Xue Shiqian sighed again.
He didn't know how many times he had heard this. Every time, the two of them would say it nicely, but when it came down to it, they would still quarrel fiercely.
Similarly, he was tired of talking, so this time he simply didn't waste any words. He just said, "I'm glad you have an idea," and then walked away with his hands behind his back.
Nie Yanchen was not used to his silence and asked casually, "Where are you going, Brother Xue?"
Xue Shiqian replied leisurely, "I still have to teach the outer sect. After all, you are familiar with this sect. Whether you want to wander around or wait for your disciple, it's up to you."
"Okay, see you later."
Nie Yanchen agreed to his request, found a nearby tree and climbed up, leaning against the trunk to rest, waiting for Tu Nian to come out of the tower.
Just as the two had guessed, things were not going well for Tu Nian.
For those who practice Taoism, using spiritual power is as natural as breathing.
Most formation cultivators would subconsciously use spiritual power when setting up a formation, rather than relying entirely on the power of elements or yin and yang. Therefore, when entering the Endless Tower for the first time, the first thing Tu Nian had to overcome was the feeling of weakness caused by limited spiritual power.
However, overcoming this is like overcoming instinct, which is easier said than done.
After a lot of effort, she could only manage to complete one or two formations with the help of Fang Yuan, and could not even guarantee their effectiveness, let alone suppress the monsters.
But she didn't care about this. Regardless of success or failure, she would continue to set up another formation.
Tu Nian drew one formation after another, and he didn't know how many times his spiritual consciousness was exhausted in a day, and how many times he was woken up by Fang Yuan.
It was not until Fang Yuan interrupted her last attempt to set up the formation that she stopped practicing and fainted without caring about anything else when she heard him say that it was already evening.
Nie Yanchen actually waited for her outside the tower for a whole day.
When light appeared on the top of the endless tower, he climbed down from the tree, calculating even his steps. When he reached the front of the tower, he just happened to meet Fang Yuan carrying Tu Nian over.
Seeing the person coming, Fang Yuan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Sect Master Nie?"
Nie Yanchen interrupted him with a short "hmm", his eyes quickly passing him and landing on Tu Nian, "Leave her to me."
"good."
Fang Yuan's response was actually unnecessary.
Nie Yanchen didn't even bother waiting for any response. He had already helped himself up before Fang Yuan finished his words. By the time Fang Yuan finished responding, Tu Nianren had already been picked up by him.
"Which guest island is it?"
Before Fang Yuan could recover from the shock, he heard Nie Yanchen ask him a question. Coming to his senses, he hurriedly replied, "The third one on the west side."
After he finished answering, the next moment he saw Nie Yanchen completely disregarding the Bihai Sect's rule that "outsiders are not allowed to wield swords". He skillfully summoned his sword and flew to the guest island, leaving him alone standing there like a stupid goose.
Exuding domineering attitude!
Fang Yuan's brain froze for a while before this word popped out.
He was worried about Tu Nian's spiritual plant garden, but the sect leader came here today to take care of things.
This confidence is simply too great.
