Borrowing a sword

Chapter 100 The Loli Presents a Treasure
A few minutes later, Chu Yinyin hummed a little tune and flew happily towards the direction of the medicine mountain.

Just now, she successfully extorted money from her, securing a considerable amount of benefits for her future apprentice.

"Won't he be completely smitten with me?" she pouted, looking extremely smug.

This future second master is already prepared to receive his disciple's flattery.

Little did they know, the main hall of the Taoist sect was filled with a joyful atmosphere at that moment.

"Haha, Junior Sister is probably going to be so smug." Li Chunsong laughed heartily.

Zhao Shuqi squinted and winked at him: "Sixth Junior Brother, wasn't my acting pretty good just now?"

"Fifth Senior Brother is amazing!" Li Chunsong praised, then said to Nangong Yue, "Ninth Junior Sister also found a very good topic just now."

Indeed, it was Nangong Yue who found the entry point.

These shameless old men just wanted to find a pretext to give Chu Huaixu something in a reasonable and legal way.

He had only recently joined the sect and was still just an outer disciple in the first realm.

If he were to slowly earn contribution points on his own and then exchange them at the Treasure Pavilion and the Library, it would be too time-consuming and laborious.

However, with the East-West Continental Championship just around the corner, time is of the essence.

For Chu Huaixu, the most urgent task now is to cultivate diligently and improve his overall strength in all aspects.

That's why they set up this trap today to lure their junior sister into their trap.

In this way, I can achieve my goal and also tease my junior sister every day. Isn't that wonderful?

The character of Chu Yinyin, the "old but young girl," is so peculiar; she's both the group's darling and the group's punching bag.

Nangong Yue smiled gently, looked up at Xiang Yan and Lu Pan, and said with a smile, "It's fortunate that the sect leader and senior brother escaped a calamity."

She meant that the two disciples had already received all the gifts, so they didn't give anything away.

Xiang Yan, who was always stingy, waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Hey! Junior sister, you're mistaken."

"This child, Chu Huaixu, has made rapid progress. He has only been in my sect for a few days, and he has already reached the first realm."

"What he needs most right now is magic and magical artifacts."

"You've given him two spells and a magic weapon; that's enough."

"If there were any more, a cultivator at the first level would not be able to use them all."

Lu Pan nodded seriously from the side: "Don't bite off more than you can chew."

But unlike Xiang Yan, he wasn't stingy. He said, "Once he becomes a true disciple of my Daoist sect, I, as his senior uncle, will definitely give him a small gift as well."

Upon hearing this, the sect leader began to look down and pretend he hadn't heard anything, refusing to respond.

He started to change the subject.

"According to Junior Uncle's instructions and the rules of the sect, we should have treated him as an ordinary outer disciple."

"Junior Uncle emphasized in his message to Sixth Junior Brother that we must not interfere with his aptitude before he goes to Hidden Spirit Mountain."

"He obtained the Xuan Tian Fetal Breathing Pill in the secret realm; that was his own good fortune, so it's alright."

Xiang Yan dared not speak aloud, but thought to himself: If the Dao Ancestor was truly all-knowing and all-seeing, then Chu Huaixu obtaining the Xuan Tian Fetal Breathing Pill should have been included in his calculations as well.

"But what's done is done. Chu Huaixu has already been to Cangling Mountain. So, it's not a big deal that Junior Sister gave him another Xuan Tian Fetal Breathing Pill, and you guys gave him magic weapons and spells." The sect leader said in that unpleasant voice.

Everyone nodded in agreement; that's what they all thought, which is why this happened today.

"This concerns the [Original Spirit Realm], so we cannot be careless," Lu Pan said.

He continued, "Anyway, I can't think of anyone in the world more suitable to enter the first level of the [Origin Spirit Realm] than him."

In the Eastern Continent Mirror Kingdom, they haven't heard of any sect having a new disciple more extraordinary than Chu Huaixu recently.

As for the Western Continent, why bother with it?

The East and West continents have always been at odds, and there have been frequent frictions and even wars in the past.

The current harmony is only apparent because a great calamity is imminent.

Human nature is complex, and there are still undercurrents running beneath the surface.

As the lineage of the Taoist patriarch, the Taoist school has always regarded itself as the orthodox and legitimate path.

In the face of a great calamity, we are naturally willing to shoulder the responsibility.

The Daoist sects naturally disliked the many underhanded actions of the Western Moon Kingdom.

"The heavy responsibility of saving the world still rests on the shoulders of us Taoist disciples!" Li Chunsong echoed loudly.

Everyone drank the spirit wine today, and they were noticeably more boisterous in their speech.

Moreover, the Origin Spirit Realm will open four levels in the next few years.

Only those at the first, third, fifth, and seventh realms can enter.

Each layer is more important and more crucial than the last!
The burden on the Taoist sect is indeed the heaviest.

Because the strongest seventh realm cultivator in the world is sitting on that giant rock in the Purple Bamboo Forest.

The moon shines brightly in the middle of the night, illuminating the pear blossoms like snow.

Chu Yinyin descended from the sky and landed in the small courtyard outside the bamboo house.

The moonlight shone on her, adding a touch of allure to her red dress.

This older woman has a rather flamboyant style of dressing.

She was fed up with her childish appearance and insisted on dressing herself up to look more mature and glamorous.

Today, she also drank quite a bit of spirit wine, and her cute little face was flushed.

Two blushes appeared on her slightly chubby oval face. She actually had a good tolerance for alcohol, but she was a bit of a drinker.

As a great cultivator of the sixth realm, her arrival here was naturally silent and unnoticed.

The three people inside the two bamboo houses were completely unaware.

Chu Yinyin directly transmitted her voice to Chu Huaixu inside the room: "Chu Huaixu, come out and see me."

The young man sitting on the futon immediately got up and ran out excitedly.

He could tell from Chu Yinyin's tone that she was there to show off.

Chu Huaixu was pleased with this outcome.

Because in this situation, one has a greater chance of gaining benefits.

Therefore, as soon as he pushed open the bamboo door, his face was full of smiles, and he was exceptionally warm and surprised. He immediately said, "Second Master, what brings you here?"

The older woman and the younger woman had already been drinking, and upon hearing this, they couldn't help but smile.

However, she suspected that her senior brothers and sisters might be spying on her with their divine sense again. Having learned her lesson, she immediately suppressed the upward curve of her lips, resulting in a somewhat strange expression.

"Hey! How many times have I told you? You can't call me master yet." She raised her hand with a serious expression.

"Yes, disciple was wrong, disciple overstepped his bounds." Chu Huaixu's tone was filled with the aroma of tea.

Seeing her future precious disciple in this state, Chu Yinyin felt a pang of heartache.

She immediately changed the subject, saying, "But no matter what, you are my future disciple, so I'll ask you for some benefits in advance tonight."

The dead fox was overjoyed, but looked confused: "Hmm?"

The old loli put her hands behind her back, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said in a deep voice: "The sect leader and all the elders already know that you will be taking me and Shen Man as your disciples in the future."

“They all think you made a wise decision.” She started making things up: “In the entire Taoist sect, only Shen Man and I can teach you.”

Chu Huaixu listened from the side, inwardly grumbling. He didn't think this old loli, who seemed to have never even passed her rebellious teenage years, was fit to be a teacher.

But then he thought about it again: the eldest master provides the labor, and the second master provides the money; such a cooperation seems reasonable.

It's like two swords combined!

Chu Yinyin stopped looking up at the moon and instead looked Chu Huaixu up and down, becoming more and more satisfied with the look.

Although his hair was disheveled, he still looked somewhat unruly under the moonlight and in the night breeze.

Just for its appearance, it deserves full marks.

So she continued, "Given your current situation, given time, perhaps by next year you will be able to enter the inner sect and formally become an apprentice."

"Since this matter is a done deal, then as your future senior uncles, shouldn't you give the sect leader and the elders some kind of gift?"

"No matter what, you are still my and Shen Man's first true disciple!" she began to emphasize this point.

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu was overjoyed.

Who would have thought that a little girl would be showing off her treasures in the middle of the night?
"But I haven't even formally become your apprentice yet, so how can I receive a gift in advance?" Chu Huaixu was somewhat puzzled.

But he was quick-witted and soon began to have some suspicions.

Chu Yinyin continued talking to herself, "Of course, their gifts are definitely not as good as the Xuan Tian Fetal Breathing Pill I gave you."

"But don't think they're stingy."

The big mouth continued, "The only stingy person in our sect is the sect leader."

"The three things I brought you were gifts from the Fifth Elder, the Sixth Elder, and the Ninth Elder."

"For someone at the first level like you, these are the most suitable items for the moment."

Upon hearing this, Chu Huaixu was delighted, becoming even more certain of his earlier guess.

This is like a pillow being delivered to someone who's just fallen asleep.

He could roughly guess what was being delivered.

As expected, Chu Yinyin waved her hand, and two jade slips and a magic weapon floated to Chu Huaixu's front.

She began by introducing, "Both of these jade slips contain profound-level techniques."

"For you right now, Yellow Rank is barely enough, while Profound Rank is the best choice."

"If you try to learn techniques above the Xuan level now, you'll only be wasting your time and effort, and their power will be limited. It's better to master the Xuan level techniques first."

"These two jade slips contain a technique for movement and a technique for true qi, both of which are perfectly suited to your path of cultivating both internal and external strength."

"For my sake, the Fifth Elder and the Sixth Elder clearly put in a lot of effort this time." Chu Yinyin said smugly, her head held high and chest puffed out.

Chu Huaixu listened to her words, but the last sentence went in one ear and out the other.

"Body technique and true qi?" A thought flashed through his mind.

These are indeed all my current needs!

Needless to say, movement skills are crucial in combat, as it's not about standing still and attacking.

It is said that in the world of martial arts, speed is the only thing that cannot be broken.

In fact, being fast enough is also a form of ultimate defense!

If others can't hit you, then there's no real damage, right?

As for the so-called True Qi, it is actually the transformation of the spiritual power in the body into Qi!

True Qi techniques are mostly quite domineering!
Chu Huaixu's gaze then turned to that magical artifact.

This is a black robe, made by Nangong Yue, a master craftsman.
