Chapter 43 The Origin of Xiaoya
Blue sky and white clouds, and a gentle breeze.
After Nan Xiao and the other two dealt with the man in black, they set out on their journey back to the sect.
The journey was smooth and nothing happened.
Lu Huai also successfully learned how to fly with a sword on his way back.
From being shaky at the beginning to being like a fish in water and able to come and go freely now.
Nan Xiao wanted to ask, how come the food became so smooth after eating a few pieces of Dove.
Xiaoyao Sect remains the same as before.
Jiang Xia took Nan Xiao directly to the main peak, and Lu Huai followed closely behind.
Nan Xiao sat on the spirit sword and saw from afar Lin Jingyuan, the fifth elder, and a young man she didn't know sitting together and chatting.
She stood up, waved her arms, and shouted excitedly: "Master, Elder, disciple is back..."
Lin Jingyuan was stunned, then turned to the Fifth Elder and said, "As soon as I mentioned Xiaoxiao, I heard her voice. Could it be that I'm hallucinating?"
The Fifth Elder raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him: "Look back for yourself, isn't it your precious disciple who has returned?"
Lin Jingyuan turned around and saw Jiang Xia had already controlled the spirit sword to fly in front of them.
"Master, Elder." Jiang Xia put away his sword and saluted.
"Thank you for the hard work along the way. Are the two little ones behaving well?" Lin Jingyuan asked Jiang Xia.
"Junior brothers and sisters are very well-behaved." Jiang Xia said without changing his expression.
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai held their heads high and chests puffed out with pride; they were so well behaved.
"Hey, Xiaoxiao, you've actually established your foundation. Come and tell Master what opportunity you've gained."
Lin Jingyuan originally wanted to ask about Lu Huai's training, but when he saw that Nan Xiao had successfully established his foundation, he pushed Lu Huai aside, forgot about it, and asked about Nan Xiao's situation.
Lu Huai possessed a top-grade wind spirit root and was at the ninth level of Qi training before his departure, requiring only an opportunity to break through to the foundation-building stage. However, Nan Xiao was only at the sixth level of Qi training when she left. Without some significant opportunity, even taking drugs wouldn't have allowed her to reach that level in such a short time.
Nan Xiao: "This is a long story. Master, please listen to me from the beginning...blah blah blah..."
The two talked as they walked.
Lu Huai looked at the backs of the two people and was speechless. Master, have you forgotten that you have a little disciple?
Jiang Xia patted his shoulder, signaling him not to think too much and to follow.
Nan Xiao finished talking about the secret realm and his mouth was dry. There was freshly brewed tea on the stone table beside him.
She didn't hesitate and poured herself a glass of water. After drinking it, her throat felt much better.
Looking at the handsome young man sitting next to the stone table, Nan Xiao blinked. Who is this?
The young man smiled at her.
Nan Xiao leaned his head closer to Lin Jingyuan and lowered his voice: "Master, this is my senior brother, or the new junior brother you accepted for me."
The cultivation levels of the people present were quite high, so they heard everything clearly.
Hearing this, the five elders and the young man laughed out loud. Jiang Xia pursed his lips, trying hard to suppress the smile on his face.
Lu Huai was also curious about what they were laughing at.
Lin Jingyuan slammed his head against Nan Xiao's forehead. "What nonsense! This is Elder Li."
"That Elder Li who took the third and fourth senior brothers out for training?" Nan Xiao raised his voice, a little unconvinced.
"There is only one Elder Li in the sect, what do you think?" Lin Jingyuan rolled his eyes at her. He seemed quite smart on weekdays.
"Don't I look like Elder Li?" the young man asked, taking a sip of tea.
"No, no." Nan Xiao shook his head and sorted out his words. "It's mainly because you look too young, not what I imagined."
She had a stereotype. She felt that the title of Elder Li should not refer to a middle-aged man like her master, but to an old man with white beard and hair and an immortal look like the Fifth Elder.
It is really rare to see such a young elder.
"Oh, then what do you imagine me to be like?" Elder Li became interested.
Nan Xiao: “…”
He looked around at his master and the fifth elder, knowing that telling them would definitely offend them.
Is Elder Li deliberately setting a trap for her?
She said seriously, "In the past, I often heard Master mention Elder Li. He was a man of high moral character, working tirelessly and wholeheartedly for the development of the sect. Faced with numerous difficulties and obstacles, he never backed down, always leading by example and prioritizing the interests of the sect. His spirit of selfless dedication is truly admirable."
"Now that I've seen the real person, I know what Master said is true. He is even more perfect than I imagined."
Lin Jingyuan: “…?”
When did he say that? How come he doesn't know?
"Really?" Elder Li smiled and said to Lin Jingyuan, "Brother, I didn't expect you to think so highly of me."
Lin Jingyuan: “...” He didn’t. The fact that he didn’t curse him behind his back showed his magnanimity as a senior brother.
"Okay, why tease a youngster?" said the fifth elder.
Nan Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, yes."
The fifth elder is still the best.
"Let's get down to business. Take out your plant-type demon spirit and let's see what kind it is."
When talking about Xiaoya, Nan Xiao was serious.
She took off the wooden bracelet on her wrist and said, "Master, Xiaoya has been in a coma for a week. How can we wake her up?"
After examining it, Lin Jingyuan handed the small bud to Elder Li, who was standing beside him, and guessed the answer: "This demon spirit has overdrawn its power, and your spiritual power is weak, not enough to nourish it. It can only rely on itself to slowly recover, or you can soak it in water containing spiritual power to cultivate it. It will recover in a few days."
Nan Xiao's eyes lit up: "I remember the water used to irrigate the spiritual plants in the back mountain of our medicinal field. Doesn't it contain spiritual energy? Can Xiaoya use that water?"
Lin Jingyuan nodded: "Yes, but it won't be very effective."
That water can be used for spiritual plants to promote their better growth. The small buds have already become spiritual, so the effect of that water on them is minimal.
"Okay." Nan Xiao lowered his head in disappointment.
"Don't be disappointed. I have a bottle of spiritual fluid suitable for plant-type spirits. You can take it when the time comes."
"Master, you are the best."
Elder Li studied the small bud for a long time, then slowly said, "You are lucky, little girl." You have found a treasure.
Everyone's eyes turned to him.
"If you know, just say it. Don't keep us in suspense." The fifth elder said anxiously.
This is the first time I have seen a demon spirit that can upgrade its high-grade spiritual roots to top-grade spiritual roots.
"Look, the naturally growing lines on its leaves look like a mysterious formation. If I'm not mistaken, this is the Xu Ling Vine, which grows in the void. It is one of the rare spiritual vines in ancient times. It can penetrate various space formations and come and go freely." Elder Li explained slowly.
"Its rhizome is also one of the materials for space magic tools."
The Fifth Elder took one look at the lines on the leaves and realized it was true: "This Void Spirit Vine has not appeared in the world for thousands of years. People thought it was extinct."
Lin Jingyuan: "Didn't Xiaoxiao say that she was contracted in a huge abyss? I think that abyss should be an independent space in the secret realm."
Jiang Xia also nodded in agreement. When he was looking for his junior sister, he searched the entire secret realm but did not find any abyss.
Only Nan Xiao had a complicated expression, both happy and heartbroken.
Happy, she contracted a demon spirit that sounded awesome.
It's sad that she wasted so much of the rhizome of the small bud, and now she is told that it can be used to refine space magic tools.
What about all those roots she wasted...
They are all spirit stones...
She slapped her hands, wondering why the gaps between them were so big.
Leakage of money.
