Chapter 58 Shock from Master
"Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Lan Yue asked, puzzled. Why were these people looking at her like she was a ghost?
"So what did the two elders go to do?" she asked, extremely curious.
"It's nothing, it's just..." the disciples on the other side stammered.
"That's right, women's clothing…" another disciple answered subconsciously.
"What, women's clothing? Tell me quickly, what did Elder Fang discover?" Lan Yue's eyes lit up instantly.
She had just finished eating melon seeds and never expected it to be so exciting, that she could actually witness the scene.
The people on the other side almost fainted as their vision went black.
Everyone glared angrily at the person who had just spoken, and the disciple who had accidentally revealed her women's clothing was almost paralyzed with fear.
At the crucial moment, Yunxi walked over from the other side.
"Lan Yue, Elder Fang just seemed to be questioning Elder Duanmu about Fairy Zi Ling and Fairy Yu Ci, and it seems he even mentioned women's clothing. Do you know what happened?"
Yunxi asked very calmly.
"I don't know either. Elder Duanmu just suddenly disappeared, so I wanted to come and see for myself," Lan Yue said innocently.
In reality, the little devil inside her was practically laughing herself to death.
[Lan Yue: No way, no way, Elder Fang really found out? How did he find out? Damn it, I didn't even seize the best opportunity!]
Lan Yue was filled with regret for not taking advantage of such a perfect opportunity.
As soon as I saw Elder Duanmu disappear, I should have shamelessly followed him!
"Let's go, let's go take a look!" Lan Yue pulled Yun Xi along, ready to follow.
What does being punished by the formation diagram matter? Watching the drama unfold is the most important thing!
However, she had just lifted her leg when she suddenly stopped and even took a few steps back.
Yunxi, who was behind, was a little confused. She tilted her head and saw Guangji flying over on a long sword and landing on the ground.
As soon as he arrived, the entire Four Arts Mountain Peak became much quieter, and even the gossip leader Lan Yue dared not utter a sound.
"Elder Duanmu said you haven't been cultivating diligently lately?" Guangji frowned slightly as he looked at the junior disciple opposite him.
Lan Yue: "???"
[Lan Yue: What are you talking about? I was so focused when I was drawing the array diagram! Even mentally observing the melon seeds while drawing couldn't slow me down!]
Lan Yue felt a surge of grief and indignation. She had no love left; all she planned was to go and watch the drama unfold. Why was Elder Duanmu so vengeful?
Hearing her thoughts, Guangji instantly understood what had happened, and he frowned helplessly.
"Come here, let me check your cultivation progress."
Lan Yue: "!!!!"
In the end, she followed her master away, looking back every few steps, almost biting her teeth in frustration.
Back at Lingyue Peak, she went to her master's bamboo house, looking utterly listless.
Guangji saw everything and found it somewhat amusing.
"Alright, I haven't seen you for the past few days. Show your master your cultivation level. I need to know your cultivation level before I can continue to plan your future path."
It's heartbreaking to say, but Guangji still doesn't know his apprentice's skill level since he came out of seclusion.
He glanced at the ancient jade pendant on his disciple's body, lost in thought.
At his age, he was already in the late stage of Qi Refining. However, he had been laying a solid foundation with his master since childhood, accumulating knowledge and experience before unleashing his potential. His path afterward was very smooth.
But the younger apprentice is different. He was only taken in half a year ago, and he's very playful, only thinking about gossip all day long, which is driving Guangji crazy.
It seems we should put more effort into training our young apprentice, otherwise...
Guangji was feeling worried when he suddenly saw his apprentice's eyes widen slightly, looking guilty.
His heart skipped a beat, wondering if his little apprentice was only at the first level of Qi Refining.
Otherwise, why are you acting like a guilty thief?
"You are currently at the third level of Qi Refining?" Guang Ji paused for a moment. He had added two more levels, deciding to give his little disciple face.
Don't hurt your little disciple's pride and make him completely unwilling to cultivate.
Lan Yue, on the other side, was still a little guilty, and she waved her hands repeatedly.
"Second level of Qi Refining?" Guangji frowned and guessed.
Lan Yue shook her head vigorously.
"One floor?" Guangji sighed inwardly. It was just as he had guessed.
However, Lan Yue on the other side still shook her head, and even shrank her neck.
"You..." Guangji was shocked. He thought to himself, "That's impossible. It's impossible that you just guided Qi into your body."
"Maybe we should multiply it by ten." Lan Yue cleared her throat.
"Perfected Qi Refining?" Guangji realized instantly.
This time, Lan Yue nodded after hearing this.
After thinking for a moment, she took off the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Jade from her body, thus exposing her Qi Refining Perfection cultivation level to Guangji's perception.
There was a moment of shock in Guangji's eyes, but after thinking about his little apprentice's opportunity, he felt it was nothing.
Even immortal artifacts are willing to choose their junior apprentices, so what can't the junior apprentices do?
"Your cultivation level is only to be told to me. You can't reveal it to anyone else, including the sect leader, understand?" Guangji tapped her head and instructed her.
The fact that my little apprentice's cultivation level has increased so quickly is obvious even to a fool; it must be related to a celestial artifact.
If everyone else knew that this immortal artifact could rapidly improve one's cultivation level, the entire cultivation world would go crazy, and even the Demon Realm might come looking for trouble.
Lan Yue nodded; of course she knew.
The reason she's revealing it now is because she knows that even if she doesn't tell her master, he might still notice, so it's better to tell him in advance.
Master was not one to meddle in other people's business. After he found out, he would only remind me and probably would never ask about my cultivation again.
As it turned out, Lan Yue was right. After that, Guang Ji never inquired about her cultivation level again, which is why everyone was so shocked when she later chopped off the Demon King's head with a single sword strike.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
"Come with me now." Guangji quickly planned out his little apprentice's future path and grabbed her, leading her directly to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.
Upon entering the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion again, Lan Yue recognized it at a glance. She looked at the dim firelight in the distance with a sense of wonder.
Didn't she already have Yin Xue? Why did her master pull her along? Did he want her to choose a spirit sword so she could combine two swords?
"Junior sister, you've finally arrived!" Jiang Li waved excitedly at her.
Not only that, all the other senior brothers and sisters in the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion jumped down from above and waved to Lan Yue.
This made Lan Yue feel flattered. She didn't expect these senior brothers and sisters to welcome their new junior sister so warmly. The Southern Spirit Sect is really different!
"Junior sister, is there any new situation outside? You can secretly tell us." Jiang Li smiled even more happily as he watched Elder Guangji fly up.
He quietly leaned closer and spoke to Lan Yue.
"Yes, yes, Lan Yue, tell us quickly what's new? We're all going crazy waiting here!" The senior sister behind them also couldn't wait to join in; they really wanted to know what happened to Elder Bai Mei!
However, Wanjian Pavilion is a special place. Usually, hardly anyone comes here, and they are getting impatient waiting for them!
"You want to hear gossip?" Lan Yue suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Yes, yes, do you remember Elder Bai Mei that you met when you came to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion? The sect leader kicked him out the next day. Do you know what happened after that?" Everyone was eager to know.
"If you bring us any new information, we'll each give you a gift, how about that?" Jiang Li quietly took out an antique bell from his hand.
"Look at this bell. It looks harmless, but it's actually a high-level spiritual artifact, the Soul-Capturing Bell. It can control other cultivators unexpectedly, making it a great help for survival!"
"Junior sister, don't look at him, look at your senior sister. That's just a magical artifact. I have a stack of high-level talismans here, all drawn by myself. There are all kinds. If you encounter an enemy, just throw them at them!"
The senior student in red squeezed through the crowd and winked at her.
"Junior sister, watch me! I still have puppets here!"
Lan Yue was overjoyed to see so many senior brothers and sisters gathered around, all wanting to give her gifts.
I never thought Lan Yue would have such a day! Even a minor character can have her day!
"Senior sister, senior brother, it's just those interesting things outside, right? I have as many as you want to hear! You can tell me anything you want to hear in the future, and I'll take care of it!" Lan Yue patted her chest and promised.
Who knows the most than this gossip-loving girl?
She doesn't have anything else here, but she has the most melons!
"Hehe, the aftermath of Elder Bai Mei's story is actually quite interesting. He took eighteen Daoist partners in one go. Senior brothers and sisters should know about that, right?"
"You already know that, so what happened next?"
"What happened next was really dramatic..."
After the light cleared, this is the scene that appeared.
A group of senior brothers and sisters surrounded Lan Yue in the center, listening to their junior sister's story while laughing uncontrollably.
Even the group of spirit swords next door were getting restless and slowly moved over.
Guangji: "..."
