Xie Jiuniang paid a sum of spirit stones and transferred the little crane to her name. She then rode the little crane for a tour of Mount No. 4. She did not find any members of the Xie family, but did see Bai Mudan in the small courtyard in front of the waterfall.
Bai Mudan stepped forward and bowed: "Disciple Bai Mudan greets Uncle Master Xie."
Xie Jiuniang was stunned.
Uncle Xie is calling her
This is the foundation-building stage, and your seniority is increasing.
"No need to be polite." Xie Jiuniang looked at the small courtyard behind her. This small courtyard used to be hers. She then asked, "Do you live here now?"
"Yes, not only me, but also Zhou Ning."
Bai Mudan explained the reason.
After Xie Xu and others attended the apprenticeship banquet, they returned to No. 4 Mountain and went into seclusion together. The spiritual fields and spiritual fruit gardens needed people to take care of them, so they found Bai Mudan and others.
Xie Jiuniang was not surprised by this.
Bai Mudan looked back at the courtyard, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
Xie Jiuniang sent a voice message: "Do you have anything to say?"
"It's about Tianqi Valley. Someone asked my brother about you, but he never told you anything. Please rest assured. If you need any help in the future, just let us know." Bai Mudan bowed deeply to Xie Jiuniang again.
Xie Jiuniang looked indifferent and did not answer.
Bai Mudan remained motionless.
This move may seem ordinary, but it actually represents surrender.
As a direct disciple, he usually has no shortage of people around him to order him around. The biggest reason these people gather together, besides thinking that the other party is worth following, is for future prospects and resources.
After a long while, Xie Jiuniang finally spoke slowly, "Are you planning to join me?"
"Yes." Bai Mudan answered firmly.
"Is it you, or your brother?"
"It's me, my brother..." Bai Mudan's voice trembled as she said this, fearing that Xie Jiuniang would refuse. She chose to surrender, of course not without selfish motives, "My brother's condition is very bad, and he urgently needs a longevity pill, at least a hundred years to have a chance of survival. With my brother's talent, it is not a problem for him to form a pill in a hundred years. Please, as long as my brother can survive, I can give you my life."
Bai Mudan suddenly knelt down and bowed her head to the ground.
If you miss today, it will be hard to see Xie Jiuniang next time. Last time, Xie Jiuniang helped them, which shows that she is a good person. But the destruction of Tianji Tower showed the shadow of Xie Jiuniang everywhere, and Bai Mudan guessed that she might not be simple.
After returning to the sect, he learned that she had already established her foundation and had become a disciple of the sect master.
This made Bai Mudan realize that among the people she knew, the only person who could possibly save her brother's life was Xie Jiuniang.
The sword spirit was shocked and said, "No way, no way, for a life-extending pill, she is going to sell herself out?"
When Xie Jiuniang heard this, she almost laughed out of anger, and said in a voice transmission: "Little bastard, do you think that the longevity pill is easy to find? Things that can prolong life have always been in high demand in the world of immortal cultivation. Human life is the least valuable."
The sword spirit said disapprovingly: "It's hard to find others, but it's not you."
"I do not have either."
Xie Jiuniang had a lot of things on her, but there was really no life-extending elixir.
The small waterfall is usually the territory of the Xie family's children, and few outsiders come here. However, at this moment, Zhou Ning, Shi Qi and another male cultivator are in the yard, tending to the spiritual fields.
Xie Jiuniang looked up at the yard. Zhou Ning had just discovered the situation outside the yard and then silently retreated.
"You get up."
Xie Jiuniang had never thought about training new people before. After meeting Qiao Shiyun and others today, she realized that if she wanted to live comfortably in the sect, she couldn't fight alone all the time. "I'll go back to the inner sect to ask someone about the longevity pill. I'll contact you if I have any news."
Bai Mudan's eyes showed surprise.
Wait for the man and the crane to fly away.
Zhou Ning walked out of the yard and asked worriedly, "Senior Sister Bai, what's wrong with you? I hope Uncle Xie didn't make things difficult for you."
"Nothing, I just want to ask for something." Bai Mudan smiled and explained softly, "Master Xie is a good person."
Zhou Ning had no intention of probing into other people's privacy, and had chosen to retreat just now. At this moment, seeing the rare look of relief between her brows, he felt much more relieved.
Bai Mudan returned from her training with a lot on her mind. Zhou Ning and the others naturally noticed it, but since Bai Mudan didn't say anything, they didn't dare to force her to answer.
Xie Jiuniang, who was flying far away, was listening to the sword spirit's firm tone: "Master, Bai Mudan's vision is not very good, you have to be careful."
"Where do I begin?"
"She actually said you are a good person." The little girl complained with disgust in her baby voice.
Xie Jiuniang was silent.
She's been too nice to the sword spirit lately, hasn't she... I want to take out the wooden stick, what should I do
After returning, he stuffed a few Soul Gathering Pills into the little crane to make it fly faster. This speed was not much slower than flying with a flying sword.
Xie Jiuniang returned to Zhengyang Peak.
Landing in front of the small palace, Xie Jiuniang pointed at the entire mountain with pride and said, "Xiao Hehe, this mountain is our home from now on. You can go wherever you want."
Hearing this, the little crane's eyes lit up and it gave a cheerful cry in response.
Just as Xie Jiuniang was about to enter the small palace, a sound transmission message came over.
As he pinched the sound transmission note, Chao Yan's voice rang out: "Disciple, I've already called the trial ground. You can go there anytime you want."
When Xie Jiuniang heard this, she was happy.
It's finally possible.
At this time, another sound transmission note came over, still from Chao Yan: "Do you have any contribution points?"
"Master, contribution points are no problem. I have some spiritual plants that I can take to the Sect Affairs Hall to exchange for contribution points..."
Xie Jiuniang had already thought of a solution.
The trial ground only accepts contribution points, not spirit stones. The sect's contribution points are not transferable, and cannot be transferred privately.
The contribution points earned by each person are recorded, which prevents people from cheating, not working hard, or plundering others' contribution points. This maintains the stability of the sect to a large extent and prevents disciples from taking shortcuts.
But humans love to take advantage of loopholes.
For example, when Xie Haoran wanted to buy a sixth-grade pill but did not have enough contribution points, he could ask someone else to buy it for him and then return the other person something of equal value later. Or he could help others complete sect tasks and transfer the contribution points to the other person's name, and so on.
All the solutions are thought up by people.
Xie Jiuniang didn't expect that her words would attract Chao Yan.
Chao Yan entered the small palace and asked directly, "What spiritual plant do you want to exchange? Take it out for me to take a look, so that you won't mistake the treasure for grass again."
Xie Jiuniang's mouth twitched slightly, and she took out the spiritual plant while defending herself: "I have seen all the spiritual plants, and the only ones I can misjudge are the rare ones."
Chao Yan saw thousands of jade boxes with soul-sealing talismans on them, "This... do we need to change them all?"
"No, I want Master to take a look."
Xie Jiuniang has given up learning alchemy.
There are refined spirit stones, spirit liquids, spirit crystals and spirit marrows, etc. There are not many elixirs needed for cultivation, so it is not necessary to learn alchemy.
