This female leader is a little bit stronger

Ning Ye came to Jinyu Pavilion to pick up the longevity lock she had ordered earlier.

Chen Jiaqian followed like a little tail.

The shopkeeper served very attentively and presented the longevity lock personally.

Ning Ye chose a small ruyi-shaped piece of pure jade, with dragons, phoenixes, and auspicious clouds carved on one side and the words "good fortune and longevity" on the other. Five jade bells hung below. The jade was of the finest quality, warm to the touch and translucent with a emerald green.

The Crown Prince of Dongyang County, Chen Jiaqian, was envious.

Ning Ye was very satisfied, "Put it on."

"Okay." The shopkeeper took out the brocade box and packed it himself.

Then he brought a brocade plate filled with dozens of strips of cloth with exquisite patterns.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Sir, this is a new headband we just received. The patterns on it are all Beijing embroidery, the same embroidery that the empresses in the palace wear. Since you bought a longevity lock in our store, you can choose any one as a gift."

Is there such a good thing?

The boss is very considerate!

Ning Ye thought that she still had a tattered piece of cloth tied on her head, so she naturally wouldn't refuse. She scanned the area and picked out a pure white headband embroidered with crabapples, and handed it to the shopkeeper, "This one will do."

"Okay." The shopkeeper took out another brocade box and packed it.

Finally, two identical brocade boxes were handed to Ning Ye.

Chen Jiaqian watched eagerly as the boss put away the two boxes with extremely swift movements.

(〒︿〒)

Woo woo woo, the boss has no other thoughts!

Ning Ye sent Chen Jiaqian to the gate of the county magistrate's mansion, and Chen Wuyuan came out to meet him.

"Jia Qian, I'm done with my work here and I'm going back to Xiyuan County."

Chen Jiaqian pursed his lips and tried to persuade her, "Can't you stay a few more days? My parents want to see you."

Ning Ye shook his head, remembering that he had promised a certain newbie to bring back a gift in time, and patted his shoulder. "It's time for you to go your own way. Remember what you said? To become a strong person."

Chen Jiaqian was suddenly stunned.

Although... he actually wanted to invite Ning Ye to go to Xuanxian Taoist Sect with him.

But there is only one Xuanxian Order.

Ning Ye thought about it and took out the [Bad Luck Repellent Talisman] that he had just obtained.

This was the reward for her half-month mission with the unlucky Zhao Heng.

It must be said that the system also configured a small sachet and a red string for this talisman, which is just right for making it into a neck pendant.

Ning Ye put it on Chen Jiaqian's neck with her own hands, tucked it into his collar, and patted it.

"Boss, you're giving me a gift?" What a belated surprise!

"Yes, it's a good luck charm, celebrating your upcoming discipleship into the Xuanxian Dao Sect." Ning Ye said, pointing at Zhao Heng, who had appeared out of nowhere. "If you don't want to suddenly become an unlucky person like him one day, you must keep it well, understand?"

Chen Jiaqian nodded quickly, holding it to his chest like a treasure, "I won't even take it off when I sleep!"

Zhao·Unlucky·Heng looked at it with envy and asked shamelessly, "Little girl Ning, do you still have this talisman? Can you give me one too?"

Ning Ye shook his head, "Only one. And I don't think you need one. You don't fall when you walk, do you?"

"Yup!"

After hearing Ning Ye's words, Zhao Heng suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. "Could it be that my bad luck has finally left me?"

"Maybe someone helped you spend it." Chen Wuyuan looked at Ning Ye and said goodbye to her with Jia Qian.

"Little girl Ning, we'll meet again if we're lucky!" Zhao Heng clasped his hands together and made a farewell gesture like a man of the world.

"See you again if we're lucky." Ning Ye responded with the same gesture.

……

Shortly after Ning Ye left.

Chen Wuyuan packed his luggage and got ready to go.

As soon as he walked out of the city gate, he met Zhao Heng who was also carrying luggage.

"where are you going?"

"where are you going?"

The two said in unison.

An idea suddenly occurred to Zhao Heng, "Are you going to Xiyuan County?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Chen Wuyuan walked forward on his own.

Zhao Heng insisted on asking, "What are you doing in Xiyuan County? Have you forgotten that your name is still on the list of the assassins in Xiyuan County?"

Chen Wuyuan said in a cold voice, "The Killer Alliance has made me suffer several losses. I have to get back at them."

"That's a lot like you." Zhao Heng crossed his hands behind his head and walked in step with him. "As brothers, I'll accompany you."

……

Tianning Sect.

Night is approaching.

Bai Jingze stood alone in front of the door, looking into the distant horizon. The setting sun stretched his figure into a long, thin line.

"Little Aze."

Bai Yunchu came up behind him and urged, "It's almost dark, don't wait any longer. Come with me to the alchemy room, we can almost get started."

Bai Jingze lowered his eyes, his long and thick eyelashes hiding the regret in his eyes, and turned around to follow.

call out--!

He heard the sound of wind from afar and turned back in surprise.

A spot of light appeared in the sky. It was Ning Ye flying back on the Lingxiao Flying Sword at a speed that could break through the air.

In a blink of an eye, it descended from the sky and arrived at this small hill.

Ning Ye jumped down from the sword and ran forward, not caring about being dusty. "I'm not too late, am I?"

Bai Jingze ran towards her and stopped in front of her, a smile on his pretty face, "No."

The two walked back side by side.

"I brought you a gift..."

Just as he was taking it out, he heard Bai Jingze say, "Can you wait until tomorrow to send it to me?"

Tomorrow is his birthday.

Ning Ye nodded, "Of course."

……

Alchemy room.

Rows of candles lit up the room as brightly as day.

Bai Yunchu brought over a bowl of medicine.

Bai Jingze lost consciousness after drinking and was carried to the bed by his brother.

Gu Mingze looked after the alchemy furnace and helped out at the same time.

The table is full of sorted medicinal herbs.

Everything is ready.

Ning Ye stood at the door and asked, after taking a look, "Will his spiritual roots be fully grown by the time he wakes up?"

Bai Yunchu sneered, "How can it be that easy? Go away, close the door!"

After being turned away, Ning Ye didn't get angry. He closed the door and went to find the six little kids.

The little ones would practice for a while after dinner and then line up to wash.

During the time that Ning Ye was away, Wen Ying successfully entered the realm of Qi Condensation.

As expected, she does not have only five elements spiritual roots, but all five elements spiritual roots!

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, all five elements are included.

In ancient times, the rarity of spiritual roots with all five elements was no less than that of holy spirit roots, and they were definitely well-rounded mages.

But now the spiritual energy of the five elements of the earth is thin. It is difficult to cultivate just one of them, and it is even more difficult to cultivate all five!

Qian Xiaomei didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

Children don't know what worry feels like. Wen Ying is only happy that she started practicing earlier than her stinky brother, and she never tires of showing Ning Ye the small sesame sparks condensed in her palms.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Ning Ye and the other children were clapping.

"What's so great about that!" Wen Tang pouted, but his envious eyes betrayed him, "You only have five elements, I will definitely have ten elements in the future!"

Wen Ying glanced at her brother with disdain, "Stupid brother, you're obviously not studying hard. Teacher Qian has long said that the five elements spiritual roots are only within the five elements. Those beyond the five elements are called special spiritual roots, but special spiritual roots are also single-element spiritual roots! So do you understand? Five is the greatest!"

"Hmph!" Wen Tang crossed his arms. He refused to listen. He just believed that he would be better than his sister in the future!

Luo Yuzhu was silent for a while.

Ning Ye guessed that the older boy was worried about his own cultivation.

Seeing that his younger brothers and sisters had found suitable paths of cultivation one after another and were making progress every day, he was the only one who was stagnant, and he couldn't help feeling depressed.

Ning Ye encouraged him a few words in private.

Then I thought about the massive amount of introductory skills I brought back this time.

Those were the books that Jia Qian had helped her find, and they were all very diverse. Ning Ye planned to stay at home for the time being and study these martial arts books carefully with a few instructors.
