Chapter 330 Guiyuan Sect 29
"Uncle-Master, don't be anxious! You've scared your junior sister."
Cheng Jiu looked helplessly at his Uncle Xuanzhen, who was pacing back and forth, practically bursting with anxiety.
The little girl stood there, somewhat at a loss, holding the sword, her eyes slightly red.
"Junior nephew, you must think of a solution quickly, the competition is only a few days away."
Xuanzhen Venerable looked at Cheng Jiu with pleading eyes, hoping that he could come up with a solution.
Cheng Jiu was speechless. Now they're in a hurry? Where were they before?
She sighed, patted the little girl's head, and couldn't find any words of comfort.
Over the past few days, Cheng Jiu has taken her on all sorts of attempts.
It can only be said that the girl's talent is average. Although she works hard enough, she is not the kind of genius who becomes successful overnight.
Not only in physical training, but also in swordsmanship, there is really nothing outstanding about him.
Compared to the average person, it's not too bad.
However, in order to have a fighting chance in the Foundation Establishment stage competition battlefield.
Hey!
Cheng Jiu sighed, "It would be good enough if I could learn even one set of sword techniques."
Why not refine your body?
It is well known that kendo produces geniuses; it is not impossible to master it overnight and undergo a complete transformation.
Moreover, it doesn't require fighting across levels; it's just a competition between people of the same realm.
As for the latter, it requires the accumulation of time.
Moreover, the girl's talent for physical cultivation is average.
Cheng Jiu had never seen anyone whose physical condition was worse than that of Senior Brother Wen.
I've never exercised, and I'm too weak and limp.
Even if Cheng Jiu had a method to force growth.
If Cheng Jiu dares to go out, would they dare to use him?
Formulas like this are known for their potent effects.
I'm afraid that before the girl's constitution can improve, she will be unable to withstand the effects of the medicine and her body will collapse.
This is difficult, extremely difficult!
Master, Master, you've really given me a huge problem!
Cheng Jiu gave a wry smile.
Of course, what really drove Cheng Jiu crazy was not the little girl. The little girl was well-behaved and obedient. Although her talent was average, Cheng Jiu had no complaints about her!
It is none other than the Mysterious Venerable Lord!
Sometimes Cheng Jiu really wanted to shove him into the ground.
My feelings towards Xuanzhen Venerable Lord changed from that of a senior uncle to that despicable person.
Why such a huge change?
At first, Cheng Jiu did not realize how difficult Xuanzhen Venerable was. She thought that her master had at least left her a Tribulation-Crossing Venerable. So what if he didn't understand his disciple?
His cultivation experience is the greatest help!
Then Cheng Jiu realized he was wrong, terribly wrong!
You shouldn't expect someone who's already unreliable to become useful!
This is especially true of the Venerable Xuanzhen.
That's right, it's useful, but not reliable!
Cheng Jiu thought that Xuanzhen Venerable Lord was the little girl's master.
The master kept him behind, and although her tone indicated that she was in charge, she certainly didn't understand the implications of a high-ranking official's actions.
She will stay behind to assist Lord Xuanzhen.
Then she entrusted the most important cultivation to Venerable Xuanzhen.
Strength is always the key to victory.
Putting aside the girl's other skills, with her mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level, she would be at a disadvantage against most opponents on the arena.
Cheng Jiu is thinking about cultivation, so there's definitely no problem.
The young girl is quite talented, and with the strength of the Venerable Xuanzhen, imparting some unique skills to a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator would be more than enough.
But Cheng Jiu was wrong, terribly wrong.
Although Xuanzhen Venerable Lord's talent is not as good as Qingxu Immortal Lord's, he is still a rare genius. He has never suffered the hardships of cultivation, and his cultivation level is advancing by leaps and bounds.
Upon receiving Cheng Jiu's request, Venerable Xuanzhen was extremely excited, feeling that it was a sign of his nephew's trust in him!
Despite having no prior experience, after much contemplation, the Venerable Master Xuanzhen actually found a suitable method.
Yes! He thinks so himself!
Simply put, it's about following the natural way!
How natural was it? He merged himself into the trees, learning to grow and breathe like them, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth into his body!
The effect is great!
If his apprentice has the same wood elemental root as him!
When Cheng Jiu realized something was wrong!
Xuanzhen Venerable Lord stood at the entrance of the fire vein of Medicine Peak, carrying his disciple!
Σ(?д?|||)??
Even with spiritual energy protection!
The little girl is so pitiful!
The rescued little girl hugged Cheng Jiu and burst into tears.
The little girl, who had never been so frightened, was unwilling to deal with the unreliable master again!
The master said he would take her to a good place for spiritual practice!
But it didn't say it was a fire vein!
God knows how terrified she was, hanging over the fire vein.
This is absolutely a challenge to the little girl's understanding of things that she's had for so many years!
After all, in the eyes of children in the mortal world, stepping into lava is a death sentence!
Who would have thought that one day I would be so close to lava?
She thought her master was dissatisfied with her and was going to kill her!
After Cheng Jiu comforted her, the little girl finally felt relieved!
Her master didn't look down on her; he just thought she was unreliable!
But what's so reassuring about that?
After realizing her master was unreliable, the little girl clung to Cheng Jiu even more.
Cheng Jiu is ruthless to himself, and he's just as ruthless to others.
Cheng Jiu himself was an alchemist, and after thoroughly assessing the young girl's aptitude, he had a good idea of what she was capable of.
The training designed for the little girl was based on a reduction of her previous training.
For example, swinging a sword a thousand times, or taking a medicinal bath to refine the body.
The little girl's constitution was really too weak. Even with the reduced tasks, she still had to work from morning till night to finish them. In addition, there was the medicinal bath. This kind of medicinal bath, which is meant to strengthen muscles and bones, is generally not very pleasant.
But the girl still diligently completed her tasks every day, and regardless of the results, Cheng Jiu found her attitude very pleasing.
Then one day, the little girl told her that her master had been causing trouble and affecting her cultivation!
Cheng Jiu didn't believe it at first. She thought she had a very good grasp of the little girl's cultivation process. What master would delay his disciple's cultivation?
In fact, it really does exist!
The next day, Venerable Xuanzhen found Cheng Jiu.
Her tone was hesitant, and you could even see a hint of embarrassment.
They wondered if the workload assigned by Cheng Jiu was too heavy, as the little girl found it very difficult to complete each day, and whether it should be reduced!
Cheng Jiu: "?"
I doubted my own ears.
Of course, the little girl doesn't need to be so tired!
But she has to participate in the competition. Normally, there's nothing wrong with her training, but this is intensive training!
No pain, no gain!
He now feels sorry for his apprentice.
Why didn't you lay a solid foundation for your apprentices before?
Yuan Ning's current suffering is entirely a consequence of his past!
Cheng Jiu didn't want to talk to this guy who doted on his disciple, so he pushed him away speechlessly.
I have completely lost hope in him.
I won't ask him for help anymore, as long as he doesn't cause trouble!
This damn thing really made her want to sue her master!
Please find another expert for this task.
Concubines can't do it!
He no longer questions the tasks she has set for him.
He is now anxious about his apprentice's progress.
Cheng Jiu originally planned to spend a few days honing his physical skills, improving his fundamentals, and testing his other talents.
This is inherently a process of continuous trial and error!
From initial expectations and words of comfort to now being as if the fire is on fire!
Cheng Jiu wanted to tell him to calm down; the girl was sensitive and he was affecting her!
"Uncle-Master, there's no use in getting anxious! There are still many things we haven't tried yet! Calm down!"
"what?"
The person who was pacing anxiously suddenly squatted down in front of me with a look of anticipation.
Cheng Jiu remained silent.
Uncle-Master, are you born in the Year of the Dog? You change your mind so quickly!
Cheng Jiu's rant.
She took a deep breath: "Le Dao! Junior Sister, you should have learned this in the mortal realm, right?"
The young lady from a prominent family was the fastest to learn the ropes, and she was also Cheng Jiu's only Waterloo.
However, opinions on their actual abilities are naturally subjective.
But if it's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, Cheng Jiu stroked his chin, thinking that should be enough.
"I've studied it!"
The little girl nodded obediently. When she was at home, famous musicians from all over Kyoto would come to teach her.
"Then, junior disciple, let's begin!"
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Venerable Xuanzhen couldn't wait to speak.
Cheng Jiu shrugged and said matter-of-factly, "I can't!"
"Hey?"
Xuanzhen Venerable was surprised. Although they had only spent a few days together, Xuanzhen Venerable had already regarded Cheng Jiu as a freak on the same level as Qingxu Immortal Lord.
I never expected there would be things my junior apprentice nephew didn't know!
"So, Uncle-Master, you can go to Lefeng Peak to visit the Peak Master for help. The Peak Master of Lefeng is very kind and I believe he will definitely help you!"
"Alright! I'll take Yuan Ning there right away!"
Having received the advice, Venerable Xuanzhen was extremely impatient and, after only a few words, eagerly led his disciples to seek a master.
Cheng Jiu waved goodbye, finally seeing off this troublesome person, hoping for a good outcome.
Watching the departing figure of Venerable Xuanzhen, Cheng Jiu, now with some free time, felt as if he had forgotten something.
After a long while, she clapped her hands.
Her little cloud beast!
I haven't picked it up for several days, and I don't know how it is doing at the rental office!
Thinking this, Cheng Jiu summoned the little black dragon and then left the peak to search for the little cloud beast.
A crane with black spots on its tail flew past the little black dragon, its cry clear. On its back sat a sword-wind disciple dressed in elegant clothes!
This is!
Has the rental office resumed operations?
It seems a lot has happened outside while she was away from the peak!
In the Guiyuan Sect, the little black dragon was even more eye-catching than the little cloud beast. The little black dragon, with its changed scales, was even more handsome and attracted the attention of many disciples when it landed in front of the sect's main peak.
Cheng Jiu dismounted from the little black dragon, his aura spreading out invisibly, forcing those who were secretly observing to withdraw their gazes.
In the blink of an eye, the person vanished without a trace.
The person had already arrived at the rental location when they appeared.
The rental office had returned to its usual orderly state. Upon seeing Cheng Jiu, the familiar senior brother from the rental office greeted him with a broad smile.
"Junior Sister Cheng Jiu is here!"
"Senior brother, you've recovered?"
"We have to thank Junior Sister Jiu's contracted beast!"
At this point, the senior colleague from the rental department had a smug look on his face.
Luckily, he was smart enough to keep Junior Sister Cheng Jiu's contracted beast; otherwise, the rental office wouldn't be living such a good life now!
Cheng Jiu sat in the small room that his senior brother had specially arranged for him at the rental office, and tea was served to him.
This is unprecedented hospitality!
The truth is, Cheng Jiu was a guest before, but now the senior brother at the rental office needs Cheng Jiu's help, so he has to treat her well!
Cheng Jiu sat in the chair listening to her senior colleague at the rental office talk about the changes that had occurred since she left.
The senior brother at the rental office was attracted to the little cloud beast's domineering nature. It was already part of the rental office before, and even after being contracted, its nature hasn't changed much.
In its eyes, all the spirit beasts in the rental area were its underlings. The boss had returned, so how could the underlings not come up to greet him!
As for those spirit beasts that have been flattered by the humans who came over, they dare to be arrogant in front of it; they are simply ignorant!
Especially after the Little Cloud Beast broke through, it urgently needed a battle to re-establish its position in the rental area and expand its territory.
As a result, all the spirit beasts that it had previously dared not provoke came into its sight.
The senior brother at the rental office originally left the little cloud beast with the intention of using it to suppress the arrogant behavior of his former underling.
But the result was unexpectedly better than she had anticipated.
Now, not only were the spirit beasts it had previously bullied severely suppressed, but they also became unwilling to stay at the rental office and obediently followed its instructions, actively accepting assigned tasks.
Even the unexpected spirit beasts were persuaded to obey.
In his attempt to reclaim his rightful throne, the little cloud beast turned the rental office upside down.
It actively provokes almost every opponent it chooses, insisting on fighting them.
These spirit beasts have now truly experienced just how difficult the little cloud beast is to deal with.
They couldn't beat them in a fight, but they were very unhappy if they didn't fight them. This beast was just too despicable.
Frustrated beyond measure, these spirit beasts disregarded their surroundings and simply wanted to find an excuse to escape as soon as possible.
Those spirit beasts that had been attacked were like this, and those that hadn't been attacked yet were even more eager.
Such spirit beasts naturally possess exceptionally high talent, and correspondingly, they are quite arrogant and difficult to please.
I never expected them to be so obedient. The senior colleague at the rental office said he had never been so happy!
Of course, there are many more fans of this kind of spirit beast, but how could the little cloud beast be the kind of person who cares about its background?
Disciples who cause trouble will be punished without hesitation!
Nothing is more important to the little cloud beast than having those spirit beasts serve it, so it doesn't care about the disciples' opinions!
Within the Guiyuan Sect, it has the confidence to act with impunity!
With its ancestor around, who does it fear?
Moreover, these disciples were already quite rude.
With Little Cloud Beast around, the senior students at the rental office had a rare period of peace and comfort.
So the senior brothers at the rental office wanted to ask Cheng Jiu not to take the little cloud beast away, assuring him that they would take good care of it.
Cheng Jiu did not agree immediately, but instead summoned the little cloud beast and asked it a few questions.
Since the little cloud beast still wants to stay at the rental place.
Cheng Jiu was naturally willing to entrust the spirit beast to the rental office.
Unable to retrieve the contracted beast, Cheng Jiu didn't linger.
These past few days, spending time with Venerable Xuanzhen has been truly exhausting for Cheng Jiu, who desperately needs energy to prolong his life!
That's right, her new gossip source! —Formerly Brother Qian!
Cheng Jiu took out the communication link he had added earlier and sent a message.
Let her see how far the sect competitions have developed now?
After a few days, it turns out that Brother Yuanqian is still trading insider information.
Unexpectedly, his insider trading actually had a reversal!
As for Senior Brother Qian, he certainly wouldn't miss it!
You can tell just by looking at his name; he was born with a love for money!
It's still the same familiar corner.
This time, however, it was the guest who took the initiative to invite them!
Looking at the furtive manner of Senior Brother Yuan Qian.
Cheng Jiu was speechless: "Is this really necessary?"
"Hey, junior sister! I'll say it again! This way it feels better!" Senior Brother Yuanqian said with a wink.
