Ning Hai put his hand on Yan Ying's wrist. Yan Ying felt the coldness on her wrist, and the coldness spread along her blood vessels to all parts of her body.
Ning Hai's frown gradually relaxed, and his expression gradually turned into joy.
"Great! You're worthy of being my disciple!"
Seeing their master's ecstatic look, the people in the hall naturally knew without a doubt that Yan Ying's cultivation had indeed reached the foundation stage.
"Ying'er, you have already reached the first level of foundation building! You..." Ning Hai was so excited that he was speechless.
"Master, I want to know what my spiritual roots are..." Yan Ying took advantage of his excitement to quickly raise her doubts. She wanted to find out why her spiritual roots could not be detected.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, just follow Master to the main hall."
Ning Hai casually made a hand gesture, and a deep blue light circle surrounded the five people. In an instant, the five masters and apprentices arrived at the main hall, where the sect leader and elders usually held meetings.
There are two floors above the main hall. The second floor contains information about all previous disciples of the sect and various spells that are not convenient to show to others. The top floor is the divination platform.
There is a secret door behind the main hall. Use secret techniques to open the secret door and go up the jade stairs to reach the database.
This place is very large, with wooden shelves everywhere, and the shelves are piled high with bamboo slips and books.
In the middle of the wooden frames, there is an open space where a stone pillar as tall as a person is placed. The pillar is shining with blue light, and a transparent ball as big as a palm is floating in the air above the stone pillar.
"Ying'er, this is a high-level spirit-testing stone. It's much more accurate than those used in competitions. Place your hand on it and activate your spirit power..."
Yan Ying stretched out her hand nervously.
"Junior brother, come to Sunset Peak quickly!" A sound transmission note flew to Ning Hai's ears.
Sunset Peak is a small mountain behind Taihe Forest. Only Cang Jinglan and Mu Siyue live there. The sound transmission note was sent by Cang Jinglan.
"Can't you see I'm busy?!" Ning Hai shouted back with a frown.
Yan Ying's hand was not even on the spirit stone when she withdrew it. "Master?"
Although Cang Jinglan is much younger than Ning Hai, he is his master's junior fellow apprentice, so Ning Hai should call him uncle-master.
"Let's go first and see what's going on!" Ning Hai went downstairs angrily, and several people followed him hurriedly.
Sunset Peak is a forbidden area. Under normal circumstances, people are not allowed to enter or exit at will, so it is particularly deserted. Ning Hai broke the formation and walked to Cang Jinglan's door with his four disciples in a familiar manner.
Ning Hai waved his sleeves and the door opened.
Yan Ying was a little excited, thinking that this was her first time meeting the male protagonist, but she also felt a little strange... Didn't he just bring Mu Siyue down the mountain yesterday? How could he be back so soon? This spiritual weapon with water spiritual roots is so easy to find.
That’s right, Cang Jinglan also has water spiritual roots, he must have a way to find the best spiritual weapon.
"Master, what's the urgent matter?" Ning Hai strode into the house.
Yan Ying looked around as she entered the house. The architectural style here was very different from that of Guiyun Sect. All the buildings in the sect were gorgeously decorated, but the houses on Sunset Peak were made of bamboo and wooden fences, and looked only slightly better than the residences of the outer disciples in Taolin.
There was a man standing with his back to the body in the room. He was wearing a black gauze dress and a white jade flute was hanging around his waist.
He turned around when he heard the voice. He was wearing black clothes and had black hair, which made his skin look particularly fair and translucent. He had thick eyebrows, phoenix eyes, thin lips and a high nose. He looked particularly cold and unapproachable, and he exuded an aura that said "keep away from strangers".
This is Cang Jinglan, the male protagonist of the original book.
Yan Ying looked at him carefully. She felt that the person in front of her was not as handsome as little Cen Ji. When Cen Ji grew up... he would probably be much more handsome than Cang Jinglan.
Hehehehe…
"Nephew, I called you here..."
"Greetings, Sect Master. Greetings, Master." Before Cang Jinglan could finish his words, a weak female voice came from outside the door.
Although Cang Jinglan's cultivation level is the highest in Guiyun Sect, he does not hold any position in the sect, so the disciples call him Master to show their respect for him.
Yan Ying turned around and saw that the woman who interrupted Cang Jinglan was pretty and wore a light blue dress. She looked like a disciple of Baicao Peak.
"Uncle Master, what are you doing? Do you still feel unwell?" Ning Hai frowned. The disciples of Baicao Peak are not only good at refining medicine, but also have excellent medical skills.
"Siyue was not feeling well, so we turned back just after we got down the mountain." Cang Jinglan said lightly, his eyes seemed to look at Yan Ying unintentionally.
"Siyue, like me, has water spiritual roots, which are the purest. She cannot tolerate any other spiritual elixirs that would pollute her meridians."
"Uncle Master, what do you mean by that?" Ning Hai raised his eyebrows and looked at Cang Jinglan in confusion.
"I wonder who replaced Siyue's Ningxin Pills with Jiumiao Pills." Cang Jinglan looked past Ning Hai and looked at Yan Ying.
Jiu Miao Wan is a pill used to increase the cultivation level of people who have reached a bottleneck and are unable to break through. Mu Siyue has always been in poor health, and she takes Ning Xin Dan every day to regulate her body.
Yan Ying looked at Cang Jinglan with a puzzled look in her eyes. Why was the male lead staring at her? It wasn't her who changed the medicine!
"Oh, I see." Ning Hai saw Cang Jinglan's eyes and subconsciously moved his feet to block Yan Ying behind him. "Then why did Master Uncle call me here?"
"Someone said they saw your disciples enter Sunset Peak, and my seal was indeed opened yesterday."
"I saw Junior Sister Yan walk in here yesterday." The disciple from Baicao Peak, who had been keeping his head down and not speaking, said in a low voice.
Yan Ying's heart immediately started to ring with alarm bells. Damn it! This was in broad daylight, and she actually wronged her in public!
"When?" Yan Ying asked.
"After morning training."
Yan Ying sneered. She had clearly gone to the peach forest yesterday morning, and so many disciples had seen it. She was just talking nonsense.
"Do you have any evidence?" Yan Ying continued. "Photographic talismans are quite common."
The photo talisman can record any scene and person you want to record, and the recorded scene will be reproduced when the talisman is used.
"The situation was urgent and I didn't have time..."
"I don't know how to make pills and I can't afford elixirs, so how could I have Jiu Miao? There are plenty of Jiu Miao Pills on Baicao Peak, right?" Such an obvious frame-up, did he really think she was a fool?
"How would I know where you got the Jiu Miao Wan?"
"Master, I went to Taolin after morning practice yesterday. Many disciples in Taolin saw me." Yan Ying pretended to be aggrieved and said to Ning Hai.
She wanted to see who replaced the medicine.
