Chapter 211 Farewell and Return
Chapter 211 Farewell and Return
Half an hour later, Ye Xiaobai and Tuntian successfully left the secret realm.
"The matter is over. I won't go back to the White Tiger Sect. I plan to travel around and look for an opportunity to break through to the ninth rank!" Tuntian said calmly, gazing into the distance.
"I still have many cultivation questions I'd like to ask you, senior! Can I stay a few more days?" Ye Xiaobai asked expectantly.
With the help of the near-ninth-tier demon beast Devouring Heaven, they can basically walk sideways on their future path.
"You little brat, you're dreaming! Everyone has their own path of cultivation! Don't always think about relying on others!"
"You refined the Profound Origin Pill for me, restoring my cultivation, and I stole the Spirit Rhinoceros Fruit for you! We're even now. From now on, you'll have to rely on yourself!"
"Senior, are you just going to leave like this?"
"I give up. Here, this is a talisman that sealed my full-force attack. It would seriously injure a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Keep it to save your life!"
As he spoke, Tuntian tossed a talisman to Ye Xiaobai, who quickly caught it and carefully put it away.
After saying that, Tuntian left immediately.
"senior!"
Watching Tuntian's departing figure, Ye Xiaobai felt very reluctant to part with him, after all, he was such a powerful assistant.
"Thank you for your support all the way, senior! If you ever need my help in the future, I will be there whenever you call!" Ye Xiaobai shouted as he watched Tuntian's figure gradually disappear.
From now on, I'll have to rely on myself, Ye Xiaobai thought to himself.
Then, Ye Xiaobai identified the direction and flew towards He Hongyu's location.
Half a day later, Ye Xiaobai successfully arrived at He Hongyu's location.
"Senior Ye, where is Senior Tuntian?" He Hongyu asked in confusion when she saw that only Ye Xiaobai had returned.
"Senior Devouring Heaven has gone on a journey. Let's return to the White Tiger Sect!" Ye Xiaobai said calmly.
"Okay, I'll listen to Senior Ye!"
Hearing others call him Senior Ye, Ye Xiaobai suddenly felt like an old man.
"Forget it, let's go back to the White Tiger Sect!"
"Wow, you've already reached the eighth level of Qi Refining!" Ye Xiaobai exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, I took the pills given to me by the senior, and I broke through while practicing." He Hongyu said with a puzzled look, not daring to believe that her cultivation could improve so quickly.
"What a breakthrough you made while practicing!" Ye Xiaobai sighed helplessly. It's true what they say, comparisons are odious. Back when he was still in the Qi Refining stage, advancing even one level was incredibly difficult!
For others, advancing a level of cultivation is as easy as drinking water or eating.
"I was originally planning to let you hone your skills in the outer sect, but judging from your strength, you should be able to enter the inner sect of the White Tiger Sect directly!"
"Thanks to Senior Ye's guidance!"
"Alright, stop flattering me!"
The two gradually became acquainted along the way and occasionally exchanged jokes.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye.
They were about to reach the White Tiger Sect's territory.
"By the way, our White Tiger Sect has Spirit Pill Peak, Spirit Sword Peak, Misty Rain Peak, and Soaring Cloud Peak. I wonder which peak you would like to cultivate on?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously. He didn't have time to interfere with her, so he could only let her choose a peak she liked to cultivate on.
"I wonder which peak you cultivate on, senior?" He Hongyu asked, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"I love alchemy, so I've chosen to study alchemy at Spirit Pill Peak!"
“Then I’ll choose Lingdan Peak too!” He Hongyu said excitedly.
“That works too. I’m familiar with Lingdan Peak. I’ll introduce you to a skilled master who can teach you alchemy!”
"Can't you be my master, senior?" He Hongyu asked softly, her cheeks flushed.
"I'm usually busy with cultivation and don't have time to take on disciples, but don't worry, I have acquaintances on Spirit Pill Peak, and I guarantee I can introduce you to a good master!"
Ye Xiaobai immediately thought of the days when he first entered Lingdan Peak, and how he owed a lot to that kind-hearted senior sister after entering Lingdan Peak.
"Alright!" He Hongyu said helplessly.
"Don't worry, with your talent, you'll soon be accepted as a personal disciple, and you won't lack cultivation techniques or resources!"
"Ok!"
……
An hour later, Ye Xiaobai successfully returned to the White Tiger Sect.
After leaving for a while, Ye Xiaobai returned to the sect. Nothing had changed, but seeing the familiar scene made him feel very warm and fuzzy.
It feels good to be home.
After spending some more time, Ye Xiaobai finally found his busy senior sister.
At this time, the senior sister was also in charge of alchemy in an alchemy room and was teaching the disciples in the room about alchemy.
Ye Xiaobai felt embarrassed to interrupt and wasn't in a hurry, so he waited for a while.
Listening to his senior sister's introduction, Ye Xiaobai unconsciously fell into memories.
……
When I first came to the alchemy room as an apprentice, it was my senior sister who introduced me to one of the introductory alchemy courses: the classification and processing of spiritual herbs.
"Hey newbie, you're still watching!"
He was scolded loudly by Wei Yize simply because he glanced at Xiao Lele a few more times.
Happy time is always short.
...
I don't know how many years have passed, but now my senior sister has a more mature charm, making her even more captivating.
The scent of the spiritual herbs on his body was even more mellow, along with the residual aroma of various pills, making it clear at a glance that he was an alchemist who frequently handled spiritual herbs.
Huh? Something's not right. Why is there a faint smell of poison on my senior sister? Even though it's extremely faint, it's still easy for Ye Xiaobai, who cultivates the One Breath Smells a Thousand Miles Technique, to detect it.
Could it be that Senior Sister has been researching related elixirs lately? Or is someone trying to poison her?
Ye Xiaobai immediately decided to ask his senior sister for more details later.
Half an hour later, the senior sister finished her explanation, and the disciples below began to get busy.
Senior sister had already noticed Ye Xiaobai's arrival, but seeing that Ye Xiaobai wasn't in a hurry, she continued her explanation.
After finishing her work, Xiao Lele walked towards where Ye Xiaobai was.
"Senior Sister Xiao, it's been a long time! Your alchemy skills have improved a lot!" Ye Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Ye, you flatter me. It's been so long, and you finally remembered to come see me!" Xiao Lele said with a smile.
"Haha, I went on a long trip the other day, and I brought you a genius disciple!" Ye Xiaobai said, pointing to He Hongyu beside him.
He Hongyu looked at Xiao Lele and immediately became nervous.
"A genius disciple? Is this the one? I thought he was your newly accepted disciple!" Xiao Lele joked.
"Senior Sister Xiao, as you know, I spend a lot of time cultivating and don't have time to take on disciples! If this female disciple wants to come to Spirit Pill Peak, I can only entrust her to you, Senior Sister!"
"You're always so busy! I've come to see your so-called genius disciple!"
As Xiao Lele spoke, she began to examine He Hongyu's cultivation level and talent.
A moment later, Xiao Lele's face showed shock.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he is already at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and will soon reach the ninth level. He also has a single spiritual root of wood attribute. He is truly a genius disciple!
After confirming He Hongyu's condition several times, Xiao Lele excitedly said, "Junior Brother Ye, you actually gave up such a talented disciple to me! I really have to thank you!"
"Such talent is something even the elders of the sect would fight to take in!"
"Senior Sister Xiao, no need to be so polite. By the way, He Hongyu hasn't met your master yet!" Ye Xiaobai quickly pulled He Hongyu aside to kowtow to Xiao Lele and become her disciple.
Upon hearing this, He Hongyu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to become his disciple.
"Disciple He Hongyu greets Master!"
"Alright, alright, my good disciple, get up! You'll be with me from now on!"
