Xie Jiuniang brought up this reason, making it difficult for Chao Yan to say anything for a while.
It is normal for people who practice in seclusion to come up with something. Practicing in a state of trance is also something that can only be encountered by chance.
Chao Yan took a sip of the spiritual tea and said, "It's almost the same if I change it to spiritual wine. This tea has no taste."
"Okay, okay, I'll replace it with spiritual wine for you right away." Xie Jiuniang removed the spiritual tea and replaced it with spiritual wine.
Chao Yan took a sip and found the problem, "Where did this wine come from? It's not very old, but the aroma is mellow and the spiritual energy is good."
"I brewed it and I drink it myself." The jar of wine that Xie Jiuniang took out was brewed with spiritual rice, and she added a few drops of top-grade spiritual liquid. Usually, she only needed to drink a small sip to replenish her spiritual power.
This time she forgot about time during her retreat, which was indeed her fault.
Chao Yan finished the wine in the cup and said meaningfully, "You are so young, but you know how to enjoy yourself."
"No, that's not the case. I just thought... I could use it as a spiritual tonic at a critical moment, right?" Seeing Chao Yan's expression, Xie Jiuniang silently took out a large jar and said, "This is a gift to Master."
Chao Yan accepted the apology and said, "Your uncle has been working hard recently."
Yuanying only tastes the aroma of the wine, which is better than tea.
Xie Jiuniang didn't say anything, and took out another jar, deliberately making it half the size of Chao Yan's: "Master, I don't feel bad about giving you a big jar, but if I give it to someone else... No, no, Master Uncle is not considered someone else."
"You did the right thing. It's enough to give him a small jar, depending on the relationship."
Chao Yan's expression was visibly better, and the corners of his mouth rose a little. He put the wine jar into his storage ring, took out a stack of invitations, and said, "These invitations are for you. You can give them to anyone you like. The disciple uniforms I personally teach will be sent to No. 4 Mountain later."
Before leaving, Chao Yan warned again: "If you dare to forget again..."
Xie Jiuniang immediately assured: "Master, please rest assured that I will not forget it. I promise not to forget it this time."
Xie Jiuniang sent Chao Yan away and secretly wiped away the cold sweat.
The sword spirit asked in surprise: "Master, you gave the master a small jar of wine, which was stingy. Why didn't your master get angry, but was happy instead?"
"You don't understand. Human emotions are very complicated. Who doesn't want to be unique and the most valued one?" Xie Jiuniang used some tricks to make her master happy and not to blame her. Now the effect seems to be good. "Even Yuanying can't escape this."
"Giving him a big jar of wine and giving others a small jar, does that mean you value him?" The sword spirit said he had learned it.
Xie Jiuniang went to withdraw from the cave and replenish the spirit stones. This time, she came out of seclusion and showed her cultivation level of the first level of foundation building. A fifteen-year-old foundation building is a genius, a little conspicuous, but nothing compared to a fourteen-year-old.
I opened the invitation again and took a look at it.
The time is scheduled for next month.
Xie Jiuniang didn't know that the invitation had been written three times, and the first two times were scrapped because she didn't show up.
Return to the courtyard of No. 4 Mountain.
Not long after, Xie Si Niang came over and said in surprise: "Xiao Jiu, you succeeded in building your foundation? Congratulations."
"Congratulations." Xie Jiuniang saw at a glance that the fourth sister did not use the hiding talisman again, "You can also retreat to build your foundation."
Xie Si Niang nodded repeatedly and whispered, "Suppressing the breakthrough has its benefits. I found that my Dantian has become a little bigger, my meridians have become wider, and my spiritual power has become purer."
Now her foundation is solid and she is no longer as frivolous as before.
Xie Si Niang then asked, "I heard that you want to become my disciple?"
"Yes! This is for you." Xie Jiuniang took out an invitation, "My master just gave it to me."
When Xie Si Niang saw that it was an invitation, she was very excited and said, "I have never attended a master's banquet before."
"Isn't it possible to participate this time?"
The two sisters talked about what happened during this period, all of which were daily matters, such as Uncle Xie coming to the market town, and Xie Xu doing tasks every day to earn contribution points to pay off his debts.
Someone else came over from outside, it was Xie Xu and others.
Xie Jiuniang invited them in and said with a smile, "You all came in quite a large group. It's rare."
"I heard that you have established your foundation, so we decided to come together to congratulate you."
Xie Xu and others came in together, bringing a table of wine and food.
Xie Jiuniang listened to them quietly.
After being nervous for so long, it was rare for her to relax. In fact, if no one was watching her behind the scenes, she felt that such a simple life would be good. Not everyone likes to live a life of fighting and killing, and Xie Jiuniang doesn't like it.
She prefers a stable life and a small business. However... the more you want something, the less you get it.
"There are so many evil people behind the Tianji Tower. It should have been destroyed long ago. The sooner it is destroyed, the less people will be harmed." Some disciples drank a few glasses of wine and their voices became a little higher.
Xie Xu smiled and said, "If it doesn't concern oneself, who would risk their life?"
"No one has found out yet, who did it?"
"There are rumors that the mysterious people came from Tianqi Valley, but I don't know if it's true or not. I heard that three gods died that day, one from the Gongsun family, one from the Tianji Tower owner, and one from an unknown source."
"Tianqi Valley? Never heard of it." Xie Si Niang interrupted.
No one was familiar with Tianqi Valley and only heard about it from others, including Xie Xu.
But Xie Xu knew more details. "It is said that it is a place that can be abandoned by the heavens, a place that the heavens cannot predict. There is a city of ten evils there..."
Everyone was talking about Tianji Tower.
Xie Jiuniang was surprised. Normally, this matter should have passed after more than half a year.
When no one spoke, Xie Jiuniang asked, "It's been a while since this happened. Is it still spreading outside?"
Xie Si Niang said excitedly: "Xiao Jiu is in seclusion, but you don't know that the families that are rumored to be in collusion with Tianji Tower have often had their children killed when they go out in the past six months. The worst of them is the Gongsun family, with the most deaths..."
"Hmm? This..."
Xie Jiuniang was very surprised.
Although she was surprised, the result was something she liked.
Some of the people in Tianqi Valley also have hatreds with several noble families. When she left, she left behind a lot of hiding talismans. If they were used properly, they could indeed make the several noble families in a state of panic for a while, but too much is as bad as too little. They had better stop appropriately, otherwise it would be troublesome to attract the God of Transformation.
As dusk fell, everyone said goodbye reluctantly.
Xie Jiuniang took out the invitations one by one, one for each person, and everyone was so happy that they didn't know what to do.
Such a good thing, but I thought it would never be their turn.
This time, Chao Yan gave her twenty invitations and asked her to send out twelve of them at once.
Originally, Xie Jiuniang thought that her foundation building was a trivial matter, and she seldom appeared in public, so no one would notice it except Xie Si Niang and others. But it turned out that the little profiteer from Mount No. 4 had built his foundation, and the news spread throughout the sect in less than half a day, and it spread faster than the wind.
The news spread out of the outer gate and then to the inner gate.
Outer gate, Qianlong Peak.
Gongsun Yu was furious when he received the news. He had been looking for trouble with the profiteer, but never found the chance. "Isn't she a third-level spiritual root? When she started... I think she was at the fifth or sixth level of Qi training? Is the news confirmed?"
An attendant said, "Yes, it is confirmed."
"Then how come she established her foundation earlier than me?" Gongsun Yu was incredulous.
The family recently sent him a message asking him to keep a low profile.
He had indeed kept a low profile and had been practicing diligently, and his cultivation level had increased by one level not long ago. But how could the little profiteer's cultivation level, which was originally lower than his, have established his foundation earlier than him
Gongsun Yu felt like he was outshined by someone he hated.
In another cave in Qianlong Peak, there was a young disciple about ten years old.
When he heard that Xie Jiuniang was building her foundation, his eyes lit up.
That was the cousin who gave him jerky, but... the jerky tasted bad.
