Chapter 58: Envious
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Dong Xi’s undisguised envy also attracted Chi Yan’s attention.
She was stunned for a moment, then she nodded as a greeting.
“Let’s go in,” Master Lingxu said.
Master Lingxu’s cave abode was very simple. There was a bed, a futon, and a table made of some unknown material. There was nothing else.
The huge cave abode did not feel crowded at all with four disciples standing there.
They were first introduced to their Senior Brothers, including the Eldest Senior Brother Liang Yan, the Second Senior Brother Song Qingfeng, and the Third Senior Brother Shang Guanxiong. After the Third Senior Brother broke through to the Golden Core stage, his state of mind had always been unstable, and he had already entered the mortal world to train.
“Of the two of you, Dong Xi is younger, and her cultivation is weaker, huh? You’re already at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage?” Master Lingxu was very surprised.
As soon as he said this, Chi Yan immediately looked at Dong Xi.
When she found out that the two of them had been selected together, she had asked someone to find out.
She had three spirit roots, and all of them were very low in value. The only high-valued one was the fire spiritual root, which was only 71. The other two were even lower.
But now, she was also at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage? How did she cultivate?
What Chi Yan wanted to know was not what Master Lingxu wanted to know at all. He smiled and said, “Very good, very good. Although their cultivation levels are the same, Chi Yan is slightly older. In the future, she will be the fourth, and Dong Xi will be the youngest fifth!”
“Yes.” The two of them responded at the same time.
Master Lingxu took out a Spirit Testing Stone.”I’ll re-test your aptitude.”
His Spirit Testing Stone looked much more exquisite than the one that was used when she first entered the sect, so Chi Yan did not let her take the lead.
In an instant, the Spirit Testing Stone glowed red.
As expected of a 99 spirit root.
Chi Yan’s face revealed a tsundere expression, and then she retreated.
Dong Xi immediately stepped forward as well, but the light was very weak, and the result was very unremarkable.
Master Lingxu said, “Fire, earth, and wood, three spirit roots. 73, 59, 51.
No one had any reaction. This amount of root value was indeed a little trash.
However, Dong Xi was a little dazed. She had already memorized the root value and attributes, so it was impossible for it to be wrong.
When she had first entered the sect, her Senior Brother had clearly said that the root value was 71,57, and 49.
Could it be that the previous testing was wrong?
Chi Yan also thought so.
Of course, in Chi Yan’s eyes, whether it was 71 or 73, they were all trash.
With this thought, Chi Yan’s proud expression increased.
Master Lingxu did not show any emotional fluctuations. He took back the Spirit Testing Stone and let them cultivate with their Eldest Senior Brother. The matter of refining pills could not be rushed. They should at least wait until they were at the third level of the Qi Refinement stage.
This was how things should have been settled.
However, Song Qingfeng, who was standing aside doing nothing, suddenly said, “Master, you gave the two Junior Sisters to Eldest Senior Brother? Shouldn’t I take one? Isn’t it too tiring for Eldest Senior Brother to take care of two people by himself?”
Master Lingxu looked at him in surprise. “Eh? You can still have such thoughts?”
“Master, why don’t you let me take Little Junior Sister?” Song Qingfeng said with a smile.
Liang Yan frowned, and Master Lingxu looked at Dong Xi. “Little Xi, what do you think?”
Dong Xi immediately nodded. Although Song Qingfeng was not very reliable, the trauma left behind by her Eldest Senior Brother was too great. She was afraid that she would not be able to overcome her Mental Demons if she followed her Eldest Senior Brother.

Seeing that Dong Xi had agreed, Liang Yan’s frown deepened.
“If Second Senior Brother pranks you like this, Won’t you be angry?” Master Lingxu stroked his beard.
Hearing master Ling Xu’s question, Song Qingfeng looked at Dong Xi with interest.
“I’m not angry,” Dong Xi said slowly while gritting her teeth.
Seeing that Dong Xi did not agree, Master Lingxu asked to the end, “Oh? How could you not be angry? Xiao Xi, you’re so generous?”
Dong Xi realized that everyone was looking at her, so she made up a story. “Because Second Senior Brother is handsome.”
Master Lingxu laughed out loud. Chi Yan also looked at Dong Xi in surprise, not understanding why she dared to say that.
Song Qingfeng was even more satisfied with this answer. He was in a very good mood. Only Liang Yan did not show any emotion.
Master Lingxu continued, “In that case, Little Xi will follow Song Qingfeng. Chi Yan will follow Liang Yan. If there’s nothing else, I’ll answer your questions on the 16th of every month. You may leave now.”
Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng bowed respectfully and left. Dong Xi immediately followed.
After leaving the cave, Dong Xi asked in a low voice, “Second Senior Brother, didn’t you say that Master will give me a meeting gift?”
Although it was soft, this was still Master Lingxu’s territory after all, how could he not hear it?
At first, he was stunned, and then the veins on his forehead bulged.
This little girl had just entered the sect, but she was already getting stuff from him.
He really did prepare a meeting gift, but he just forgot… It wasn’t that he didn’t want to give it to them.
