Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All Novel - Chapter 229
229 Master, Your Disciple Is Here
Dong Xi was panting heavily. Hearing the words of her Second Senior Brother in the jade slip, she thought of Master Lingxu. He would not call her unless there was something important.
Dong Xi put away the sword in her hand and cupped her fist towards the Senior Brother of Sword Sect. She said, “Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. Since Master is looking for me, Junior Sister will take her leave first.”
Dong Xi quickly rushed over and directly barged into the restriction, not being stopped at all.
“Honored Master, your disciple is here!” Dong Xi shouted.
!!
When Master Lingxu heard Dong Xi’s shout, he immediately laughed.
Seeing Dong Xi enter, Master Lingxu said, “I heard that you’ve been in the Sword Sect for the past few days?”
Dong Xi was taken aback. She did not know if her Master Lingxu was blaming her for spending less time on alchemy, but seeing her Master’s smile, she did not think so.
Dong Xi did not understand and could only honestly say, “Yes, I was.”
“Little Xi, are you going to participate in the inter-sect tournament?” Master Lingxu continued.
Dong Xi was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and said, “Master, I really don’t have such intention. You see, I’m only at the sixth level of Qi Refinement right now. I’m afraid I can’t beat anyone in the tournament, right? I’m afraid I’ll be eliminated.”
Dong Xi thought for a moment before continuing, “But by participating in the sect’s competition, I can train my combat experience.”
Master Lingxu took out a green stone and said, “Take this and try refining it when you return to your cave.”
The green stone was like an ice stone, but it still felt hot in her hand.
Dong Xi looked at the stone curiously. Dong Xi said, “Master, What is this?”
“There’s a fire essence in this stone, ” Master Lingxu said. “Your fire attribute isn’t that high. If you can refine the fire essence, the fire spiritual energy will have a qualitative change.”
Dong Xi’s eyes immediately widened, and he said in disbelief, “What? Fire essence!”
As an alchemist, Dong Xi had naturally heard of fire essence.
This was what every alchemist wanted. If there was the help of fire essence during the process of refining medicinal pills, the quality of the medicinal pills would be improved.
However, with so many alchemists, fire essence had long become extremely scarce. Only some big shots would have fire essence. As for others, they had only heard of it.
Now, Master Lingxu had actually generously given Dong Xi one…
Dong Xi was very touched. He said, “Such a good thing, wouldn’t it be better to give it to little Senior Sister?”
After all, Dong Xi’s spiritual Qi and spiritual roots were a little special, and she did not know what she would become in the future.
Hearing Dong Xi’s words, Master Lingxu glared at her and said, “This is mine, and I can give it to whoever I want to give it to. If I give it to you, you should keep it well! As for your Senior Sister, I’ve already given her other things.”
Seeing that Dong Xi obediently kept the stone, Master Lingxu said with satisfaction, “That’s right! Chi Yan is a member of the Firebird clan, so the temperature of her flames is already very high. Moreover, she has a heavenly spirit root. If she still has this fire essence, Chi Yan won’t need to use it for alchemy in the future.”
Hearing his Master’s words, Dong Xi immediately recalled the first batch of pills that Little Senior Sister had refined…
Dong Xi looked at her Master and said with a smile, “Master, how do we refine this fire essence?”
Master Lingxu threw a jade slip and a pill to Dong Xi. He said, “I know that you can endure more hardship. It might be more difficult for others to refine this fire essence, but I am an eighth-tier alchemist!
At this point, Master Lingxu’s face was filled with pride, and he continued, “Take this pill as you refine the fire essence. This pill can save your life, but the pain you have to endure will not be any less.”
Dong Xi thought about the benefits of refining the fire essence and thought about his sister who would come to seek revenge a few years later…
Now, this pain was nothing. Dong Xi had to refine the fire essence!
Dong Xi thanked him respectfully but had no intention of leaving. Master Lingxu said, “What’s wrong? Do you have anything else to tell me?”
Dong Xi nodded with a serious expression. It seemed like this was an extremely important matter.
This made Master Lingxu laugh instead, and he said, “If there’s anything, just say it. I’m your Master, what’s there to be polite about with me?”
Dong Xi bit her lip and frowned. After thinking for a long time, she said, “Master, you see… Is there a possibility that the spirit root value can increase with age?”
Master Lingxu said, “That won’t happen. The spirit root value is fixed from birth. Unless one is lucky enough to encounter some natural treasure, it might be able to increase a little. Moreover. it must be extremely lucky…”
