Chapter 12 Return to the Sect
Mo Jingxuan and Liu Ruxi arrived at the gathering point in advance, and soon they saw the Grand Elder appear in front of them.
The two walked straight towards him and saluted the Grand Elder with a respectful look, "Disciple Jingxuan, disciple Ruxi, greet the Grand Elder."
The Grand Elder showed a hint of surprise when he saw the two of them advance to the late and peak stages of Heart-beating in just one year.
"Well! No need for the formalities! Very good. In just one year, you have become cultivators in the heart-beating stage. This can be considered a matter of atonement." The Supreme Elder nodded with satisfaction.
"Thank you, Grand Elder." The two looked very happy. It was rare for them to be praised by the Grand Elder.
After standing there for a while, there was no movement from the Grand Elder.
Liu Ruxi couldn't help but ask with some doubt: "Grand Elder, what are we waiting for here?"
The Grand Elder looked at her with some displeasure, "Isn't your Junior Sister still here?"
Mo Jingxuan frowned, "Junior Sister Xiao? I haven't seen her in the Desolate Land for almost a year. Is she okay?"
"Yes! Supreme Elder, we are also worried that something might have happened to her?" Liu Ruxi said with a worried look on her face.
In fact, they all thought that Xiao Liyue had died in a deserted place. After all, they had never seen her again after they separated from her.
The Grand Elder said with a disappointed look on his face: "Old man, I don't see that you care about her at all. We cultivators should be more sincere and less mean-spirited."
After hearing this, Liu Ruxi was so ashamed that she dared not speak any more.
At this time, Xiao Liyue was hiding behind a huge rock, watching with a happy look on her face. She didn't expect that the Supreme Elder had good eyesight and could see through Liu Ruxi's hypocrisy.
Seeing his beloved being wronged, Mo Jingxuan quickly explained for her: "Grand Elder, Xi'er is just too impatient and doesn't have that kind of thought."
The Grand Elder waved his hand, "Okay, there's no need to explain this further."
Then, he looked at the big rock not far away and said, "Xiao girl, since you are already here, come out quickly! What are you doing hiding there furtively?"
Seeing that she was discovered, Xiao Liyue flew out gracefully and saluted with a smile: "Liyue greets the Grand Elder. I haven't seen him for a year. I feel that the Grand Elder has become a little younger."
"Oh? Really? I haven't seen you for a year and you've made a lot of progress in your cultivation. Your words have also become sweeter." The Supreme Elder stroked his long beard happily and looked at her with satisfaction.
He thought that Mo Jingxuan and the other person had improved their strength greatly, but he did not expect that Xiao Liyue had advanced even faster than them, breaking through the initial stage of foundation building and directly entering the fusion stage. It seemed that she had encountered a good opportunity during her year in the desolate land.
She is truly worthy of being the daughter of the sect leader. Even though she has useless spiritual roots, she can break through common sense and break her fate. It seems that the world of immortal cultivation is really going to change.
Although no one knew what means Xiao Liyue used to hide her true cultivation level, since she didn't want others to know, the Supreme Elder didn't say anything about it.
Liu Ruxi, who was standing aside, had an unhappy look on her face. Why should she be accused of having evil intentions by the Grand Elder while Xiao Liyue was praised? She felt that things should not develop like this, but she had no other choice.
Besides, Xiao Liyue had only broken through the foundation-building stage and advanced to the early stage of the enlightenment period, which was not worth mentioning compared with her late stage of Xindong. Although she was also surprised how a useless spiritual root could break through the foundation-building stage, Xiao Liyue's cultivation level could not threaten her position at all.
Xiao Liyue was stared at by her and pretended to smile shyly: "Oh! Grand Elder, please don't praise me! I really feel embarrassed."
The three of them looked at her with a bright smile on her face. They couldn't tell that she was embarrassed at all. Instead, she seemed to be showing off.
Xiao Liyue walked quickly to Liu Ruxi and looked at her in surprise. "I never thought that Senior Sister would care about me so much. It's really touching."
After that, she said with a pitiful look, "Sister, you don't know! I, your sister, have been hiding every day in the desolate land. Not only did I not encounter any good treasures along the way, I almost died at the hands of a high-level spirit beast."
"Since you care about me so much, why don't you give me some treasures to protect me? This way, next time I encounter danger, I will have a way to save my life. If you really care about me, you should take practical action. Senior sister, won't you show some appreciation?" After saying that, she stretched out her hand in front of her.
Liu Ruxi didn't expect that she would be so shameless and actually take the initiative to ask for the treasure from her. Even though she was unwilling in her heart, she remembered what the Supreme Elder said about her before. If she didn't give it, wouldn't it be just as the Supreme Elder said?
So she forced a smile and took out a book of exercises from her space ring: "Junior sister, this is the thunder exercises that I found in the desolate land. It just so happens that you major in thunder spirit roots, so it should be able to be used."
Xiao Liyue snatched it and said with a happy smile: "Wow! Thank you, Senior Sister. You are so kind. I will definitely practice hard."
"Hehe...as long as you like it." Liu Ruxi smiled awkwardly.
When the Grand Elder saw the thunder technique in her hand, he stroked his white beard and said with satisfaction: "Well! Ruxi is really thoughtful. She actually gave me a top-grade heavenly technique. It is very rare. Xiao girl, practice well. Your thunder spirit root will definitely be of great use in the future."
When Xiao Liyue heard that it was a top-grade heavenly martial arts technique, she was very curious and asked, "Top-grade heavenly martial arts technique? Is it very powerful, Grand Elder?"
“Haha… How can it not be powerful? The martial arts are divided into eight levels: Ordinary Level - Yellow Level - Mysterious Level - Earth Level - Heaven Level - Holy Level - Immortal Level - God Level. Each level is divided into lower, middle, upper and ultimate levels. So what do you think of this Thunder Kung Fu? " explained the Supreme Elder.
Xiao Liyue was so scared that she quickly put the skills into her own diamond-shaped space, fearing that Liu Ruxi would change her mind and take them back.
When Liu Ruxi saw her little action, the smile on her face could no longer be maintained. She felt very annoyed. How could she have casually taken out a book on Thunder Spirit Root Kung Fu, which was a top-grade heavenly Kung Fu? Now that it had been given away, she had no way to take it back and could only swallow the bitterness.
Mo Jingxuan didn't expect Liu Ruxi to be so generous, and said unhappily: "Xi'er, why did you give her such a good technique? It doesn't mean she doesn't bully you less. Her heart is not as good as yours."
Liu Ruxi regained her gentle smile and held his hand. "It's okay, Junior Sister was young and ignorant before. I believe Junior Sister will not be like that in the future, right Junior Sister?"
Xiao Liyue got the advantage, so she naturally cooperated with her appropriately. "Okay, okay, as long as Senior Sister and Senior Brother do things with reason and evidence, I will naturally not mess around. I am not the kind of person who makes trouble without reason."
Liu Ruxi and Mo Jingxuan thought about how she always acted unreasonably in the past, but now she said that she had reasons and evidence and would not do anything unreasonable. How shameless she was.
The Grand Elder looked at the three people, waved his hand, and a teleportation array appeared.
"Go back! The three of you haven't been back to the sect for a year, so you probably don't know a lot of things that happened in the sect."
"Yes, Grand Elder." The three responded.
After several twists and turns, the group of four finally returned to the sect a few days later.
As soon as they returned to the sect, countless disciples came to greet the three.
The Supreme Elder sent them back to the sect, saying, "You young people are having a gathering. An old man like me will not participate," and then left alone.
When the sect disciples saw the two coming back, they all came forward to congratulate Liu Ruxi and Mo Jingxuan. On their way back, the inner sect disciples received news that the two would become the new elders of the sect today, so they waited for them at the gate early today.
"Congratulations to Senior Sister Liu and Senior Brother Mo for advancing to the Heart-beating Stage. You are amazing." A group of inner disciples congratulated them with a fawning look on their faces.
"Senior Sister Liu and Senior Brother Mo are so impressive. They have advanced to the Heart-beating Stage at the age of 18. They will surely advance to become Golden Core Stage cultivators in a few years. They really bring honor to the sect!"
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Mo and Senior Sister Liu, for becoming the new elders. Ling'er is happy and proud of you." Mu Ling'er also hurried forward to congratulate them.
Mo Jingxuan listened to the congratulations and blessings from the sect disciples and thanked them with a smile. "Thank you everyone, as long as you practice hard, you will be like me."
Liu Ruxi also smiled gently and said, "Thank you, Ling'er, and thank you everyone. As disciples of the Xianling Sect, we should have the obligation to make ourselves stronger so that we can better protect the sect."
Listening to the two people's speeches, all the disciples came forward and surrounded them, cheering happily and praising them.
Xiao Liyue was pushed out of the crowd, and no one congratulated her.
Liu Ruxi watched her being squeezed out of the crowd and felt very proud. Even though Xiao Liyue was the daughter of the sect leader, she still didn't have as much prestige as her and Jingxuan. This was the gap between them.
