Chapter 126: Just Showing Off

Sheng Yu Hong was right beside her. He heard every word of the message talisman, and he could hear Yun Xi’s joy in her voice. But Wei Yun Qing did not think the same way. She felt Wei Yun Xi was openly showing off, and she really did get shown up.

Wei Yun Qing could no longer keep up her expression. For the first time, she took the initiative to leave. “Senior Brother, it’s a happy event that Little Sister Yun Xi succeeded in taking a master. I need to discuss with my clan brothers and sisters what gift to prepare. I’ll take my leave first.”

“Alright. Go ahead and get busy.”

Wei Yun Qing smiled and cupped her hands, then turned around and returned to her small courtyard.

The instant the restriction dropped, the fake joy on Wei Yun Qing’s face disappeared. She slammed a palm onto the table. The wooden table collapsed on the spot, and she ground her teeth as she muttered, “Wei Yun Xi! You really are my nemesis. Why do you get every good thing!”

The more Wei Yun Qing thought about it, the angrier she became. She did not feel she lacked anything. Among the eight of them, her aptitude was the best. Yet after nearly ten years in the sect, she was always one step behind Wei Yun Xi. Now the other party had become a personal disciple. In the future, the gap between them would only grow larger, and that was something she could not allow.

Wei Yun Qing’s eyes shifted, and she started plotting again.

Yun Xi had sent that message talisman to Wei Yun Qing to show off, to hit her confidence. Even a three-spirit-root like Yun Xi had become a personal disciple, yet Wei Yun Qing still had no movement. That fact would definitely stab where it hurt.

At this time, Yun Xi still did not know that Wei Yun Qing had already become Fire-Commanding True Lord’s registered disciple. But even if she did know, she would not care. A registered disciple could not be compared to a personal disciple at all.

Wei Zong Hao received Yun Xi’s message talisman almost at the same time Wei Yun Qing did. After learning that Yun Xi had joined Soaring Snow Peak, he was genuinely happy for his clan younger sister.

Zong Hao’s cultivation was now stable at mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and his alchemy had also made some progress. Refining ordinary first and second-grade pills was no problem at all, and his pill success rate stayed at sixty percent, which made Elder Lu Dan Yang value him highly.

Even though he and Wei Yun Qing were on the same peak, they lived far apart. Zong Hao had entered Pill Peak first and gotten to know several reliable senior brothers and senior sisters. After becoming an alchemy attendant, he was basically always following Master Dan Yang around. Even if Wei Yun Qing had schemes, she could not get close to Zong Hao.

Wei Yun Qing’s cultivation was lower than Zong Hao’s. She had entered Pill Peak later, and the fellow disciples gathered around each of them were different. That meant they met even less. On top of that, Zong Hao looked down on Wei Yun Qing, and he deliberately avoided her. The result was that even on the same peak, they had only met three times.

The first time was when Wei Yun Qing advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage. After entering Pill Peak, she visited Zong Hao on purpose, to show the disciples around her that she had clan support. The second time was when Wei Yun Qing successfully cultivated three Third Rank spirit plants. She wanted to use Zong Hao to sell those spirit plants to Master Dan Yang. The third time was when she became Fire-Commanding True Lord’s registered disciple, and she went purely to show off.

Zong Hao’s mindset was very calm. First, the sect was not a clan. Even if Wei Yun Qing had schemes, someone still had to be willing to cooperate. Second, his cultivation was higher than Wei Yun Qing’s, and that alone made her wary. Most importantly, Zong Hao knew clearly that Wei Yun Qing had no advantage in front of him. He was no longer starting from the same point as her. Anything she did could not affect him.

After the other Wei Family disciples received Yun Xi’s message talisman, most of them were happy, even if their feelings were mixed. At the very least, they had one more backer, and one more bit of help on the cultivation path.

As long as they were not away, the Wei Family disciples all replied to Yun Xi to congratulate her, saying they were very happy to visit Soaring Snow Peak as guests.

After Yun Xi returned the Peak Master token, she flew her sword around Soaring Snow Peak, looking for a place to build her house.

Dian Dian nudged around in Yun Xi’s arms, then stuck out its small head and sent a voice transmission as it stared at the world of white snow. “Master, is this going to be our home from now on?”

“Yeah! You’ve been awake for a year now. Have you finished digesting your bloodline inheritance? Can you help me find a good spot with great feng shui?”

Dian Dian sniffed and said, “Of course I can.”

Dian Dian had suffered through endless hardships to pass its Thunder Tribulation. After becoming a Second Rank spirit beast, it awakened the Treasure-Seeking Mouse bloodline. A single golden hair grew out of its forehead. It told Yun Xi that this was the symbol of its treasure-seeking bloodline, and from now on it could sniff out even more treasures.

After that, Dian Dian stayed tucked in its master’s small courtyard to cultivate. It also benefited from the immortal spirit grass and raised its cultivation a bit. It was already very satisfied.

When its master took a master this time, Dian Dian did not dare to show its face. That True Lord Leng was truly cold. It felt that with just a look, the other party could freeze it into an ice pop.

So Dian Dian pretended to sleep in its master’s arms and did not dare move at all. Only after that terrifying aura disappeared did Dian Dian dare to send a voice transmission to its master.

Yun Xi laughed at Dian Dian for being timid. Dian Dian admitted it generously. “We mice-type demon beasts are timid. If there’s even a little movement, we have to run. Otherwise, our whole race would’ve been wiped out long ago.”

Yun Xi kneaded Dian Dian in her hand for a while. After she satisfied her urge, she got down to business. “Dian Dian, I want to pick a spot halfway up the mountain. I’ll take you around once. If you find somewhere suitable, squeak.”

“Yes, Master.”

Dian Dian knew it was time to be useful. Its black bean eyes stared hard at the middle of the mountain, and its small nose kept twitching. After a quarter of an hour, Dian Dian told Yun Xi to stop.

“Master, go there.”

Yun Xi controlled her spirit sword down and landed. She looked at the field of snow ling flowers and felt the pure ice spiritual energy rushing toward her. She nodded quietly. This really was a good place. The ice spiritual energy was very pure.

“Master, these snow ling flowers are all Third Rank spirit plants. They’re very precious. Not only can they be used to refine pills, they can also purify spiritual power. This is the best place for you to cultivate.”

After speaking, Dian Dian secretly sent another voice transmission. “Master, actually the spiritual energy at the peak is the thickest and purest, but that’s the big boss’s cultivation ground. Dian Dian is sure there’s a spirit vein buried there, and it’s a high-grade spirit vein.”

Yun Xi found that funny and rubbed Dian Dian’s head. “Your nose really is sharp. Master’s quiet cultivation ground can’t be bad. And Master is about to push for Deity Transformation. The ice spiritual energy there is definitely the most concentrated.”

“Dian Dian understands now. No wonder Master’s master is so scary.”

After that, Dian Dian burrowed back into Yun Xi’s arms. It was a bit cold here.

At the peak, Leng Ruo Han watched the actions of the girl and her pet the whole time. He took a sip of spirit tea and chuckled to himself. “She really knows how to pick a place.”

After Yun Xi chose where she would live, she contacted Master Han through her communication jade slip. After receiving a clear reply, she went outside Soaring Snow Peak to pick up the fellow senior brother who would build her house. To show how much he cared, Master Han personally brought the people over.

An hour later, a delicate small courtyard had been built beside the snow ling flower pond. Yun Xi looked it over and was very satisfied. She paid the spirit stones for the construction, thanked Master Han on purpose, and personally escorted the two of them out of Soaring Snow Peak.

Master Han did things with a good sense of measure. He offered goodwill without making anyone feel annoyed.

Yun Xi walked around the courtyard once, thinking about setting up an isolation formation, when Master’s voice rang beside her ear. “Yun Xi, come to the peak.”
