If there had been enough time, Lin Daozi would have loved to prepare even more for her. He couldn't let his own disciple get the lion's share; he certainly had his own sword energy.
Shi Xuan grinned from ear to ear, praising, "Master is so generous! This disciple has long wanted to witness Master's metal-attribute sword energy!"
Lin Daozi took another sip of Shi Xuan's brewed wine and felt even more that he had made a good choice in taking on this disciple.
"Xuan'er, in the small test the other day, I saw that you had mastered the Seventh Level of the Concealed Edge Sword Technique. I was both gratified and ashamed. This should have been my duty, but now you have become self-taught."
The Concealed Edge Sword Technique is available on the fourth floor of the library, and it is a technique that all direct disciples can freely access.
Therefore, when Xuan used the Concealed Edge Sword Technique, Lin Daozi could only think of self-taught skill.
"Master, why bother? I am not as taciturn as my fourth senior brother. Whenever I have any doubts during my cultivation, I will definitely seek your guidance."
Moreover, her swordsmanship was taught by her senior brother, who in turn was taught by their master. So, it's as if Shi Xuan's Concealed Edge Sword technique was also taught by their master.
Besides, the reason I came to Fuyu Peak in the first place was because I liked the relaxed and carefree atmosphere here, where you can do whatever you want.
Thinking of this, Shi Xuan suggested, "Master, rest assured, I am the most obedient disciple and I work very hard. It is my third senior sister and fourth senior brother who should take better care of me."
Fourth Senior Brother is shy and timid, and he won't say anything even if something is wrong. He hasn't even learned sword control yet, despite reaching the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment. Third Senior Sister is even more capricious. I returned from the Pill Dao Competition a month ago, and I haven't seen her since. She must have gone off somewhere to sell spiritual food again. At this rate, her cultivation is very worrying!
The best way to stop people from paying too much attention to you is to shift their focus. Sorry, Fourth Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister.
At this moment, Shi Xuan deeply realized the profound meaning of "better to die than to die for one's fellow Daoist".
Lin Daozi nodded in agreement. His youngest disciple was right. She seemed to be a cheerful, outspoken person. On the contrary, the fourth and third disciples were more troublesome, and the second disciple was also somewhat idle. Looking at it this way, among his disciples, this youngest one was indeed the least worrisome.
Tang Nong, who was setting up a stall in Luoyin Zongfang Market, felt a little itchy in her nose. Could it be that someone was missing her spiritual food?

Since Lianfeng Sword arrived, Zhaocai seems to have found a playmate. He no longer goes out to roam and spends all day gesturing and comparing with Lianfeng Sword in the yard.
Lately, it has even started making demands, conveying through its divine sense that it wants that big fruit.
Shi Xuan had almost forgotten about this matter. Among the prizes of the Alchemy Competition, there was a sixth-grade spiritual herb that Zhao Cai had chosen himself. It was a huge gray fruit called the Fallen Fruit, which Shi Xuan had been keeping in his storage bracelet.
Originally intended for bringing good fortune, Shi Xuan, since it wanted the fruit, naturally wouldn't be stingy and simply placed the large fruit in the courtyard.
When she went out to buy something and came back, she found that the huge fruit had been eaten down to just a large pit.
It brings good fortune; though the bird is small, it has a big appetite.
After eating the fallen fruit, the Fortune Cat became even whiter, and its feathers even began to reflect light. Its power also seemed to have increased, and Shi Xuan could feel that the connection between his spiritual contract and its creature had become even stronger.
Even after the fruit pulp was gone, the bird couldn't bear to leave the pit. It stayed on the pit the whole time, refusing to get off.
"You like this fruit pit that much?" Shi Xuan said, "Then how about I make you a nest out of this fruit pit, and you can sleep in it from now on?"
Shi Xuan sensed the joy from Zhao Cai, but it still didn't move. Its two little black bean eyes stared straight at the top of Shi Xuan's head, its intention very clear.
"You're going to put this nest on my head?"
Zhao Cai nodded its little head so hard that it almost fell headfirst.
Shi Xuan: ...
Are all spirit pets this unruly these days?
His black, beady eyes stared at her with a longing look in them.
Shi Xuan confronted it for a long time before finally giving up.
"At most, we can make a hollow crown so you can stay inside; don't even think about a big nest."
The little black bean-like eye rolled around, and it seemed to nod in agreement reluctantly.
Shi Xuan picked up the fruit pit, which was about the size of a small bowl, examined it for a moment, and then took it to find He Weiqing.
He Weiqing happened to be carving wood in his courtyard. When he saw Shi Xuan come in, he quickly wiped his hands and went out to greet her, but he didn't know what to say. He just stammered, "Junior Sister."
"Fourth Senior Brother, the little rabbit you gave me on the day I entered the sect was very exquisite," Shi Xuan said bluntly. "I would like to ask you to make me a headdress as well."
He Weiqing nodded quickly, her face turning red as she spoke: "Junior Sister, what kind do you want?"
Shi Xuan took the lucky charm and said, "Make it according to its size, a little bigger, so that it can fit inside when I wear it on my head."
Zhao Cai puffed out its fluffy little chest, with a proud expression.
He Weiqing was quite envious of his junior sister for having such a lively spirit pet. He measured the size of the lucky charm, nodded, and accepted the precious fruit pit.
He turned around, took out a very small mirror, and handed it to Shi Xuan, saying, "Here you go."
Shi Xuan took it and looked at it from both sides, then asked, "What is this for?"
"Perhaps, it's an illusion," He Weiqing whispered.
You have to guess half of what he's saying; he's probably some kind of magical artifact like a truth mirror.
"Fourth Senior Brother is so thoughtful," Shi Xuan said without ceremony. He put away the small mirror and then took out a few bottles of pills to put on the table for him.
"No, no...use..."
Before He Weiqing could finish speaking, Shi Xuan had already turned and left with Zhao Cai. As he walked, he pondered whether he should think of a way to train his fourth senior brother's speaking speed.
Seven days passed quickly, and as the disciples stocked up and bought things, the day to depart from the Silverfrost Secret Realm arrived.
Because of Shi Xuan's victory in the Alchemy Competition, the Lianfeng Sword Sect was allocated twenty slots, the most ever.
Although the Divine Cauldron Sect received a considerable number of sixteen spots, they couldn't recall the last year they failed to win first place in the Alchemy Competition.
The Silver Frost Secret Realm only allows cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage to enter, and it is famous for its abundant spiritual herbs. Therefore, this time, Hundred Herbs Peak alone took eight spots, and the top ten sword disciples in the preliminary examination were also selected, plus two weapon cultivators from Lin Zheng Peak, making a total of twenty people.
This time, led by Lin Daozi and Elder Li, Lu Wenxing remained idle, accompanying his master to escort his junior brothers and sisters to the entrance of the Silver Frost Secret Realm.
The entrance to the Silver Frost Secret Realm is located in the northernmost part of the entire Qian Yuan Western Region. When the spirit boat of the Lianfeng Sword Sect arrived, a considerable number of people had already gathered there.
Besides the people from the six major sects, there were also some smaller sects, aristocratic families, and independent cultivators who came to try their luck.
The six major sects occupied the majority of the space in the secret realm, while the remaining few entry tokens were obtained through individual merit. Whether through personal luck or by acquiring them at auction, only those with the tokens could enter.
