Jiang Shaoling stared at Xuan Yangzi in shock, thinking that his master must be missing his disciple like crazy!

"You're an excellent alchemist, but your medical skills are average. You can't cure her heart failure. Besides, isn't it enough to have me and my two senior brothers as your disciples? How come you, an old man, are still addicted to picking up disciples?"

Xuan Yangzi stroked his beard and was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed. His three disciples were really brought back to the sect by him.

"I'm really addicted, but I didn't find a little junior sister for you. Now, one is delivered to your door! I don't even need to go out to find one!"

Jiang Shaoling: ...So you're just lazy, aren't you?!

But she also needs to be capable, because becoming a direct disciple of Penglai Sect is not something that can be done easily.

Ye Qingning accidentally overheard something in the corner and heard it above his head, which surprised him quite a bit.

The system excitedly pecked Ye Qingning on the head a few times and said excitedly: [Ningning, Ningning! If you can become a disciple of the Supreme Elder, you can be promoted directly from a menial disciple to a direct disciple!]

[A direct disciple! No longer having to share a room with others, this is a great thing! Of course, it's also because of your extraordinary talent, Ningning, that the Grand Elder wanted to take you in!]

Ye Qingning has always been calm, which is in sharp contrast to the system's excitement.

She had heard of Xuan Yangzi, the supreme elder of Penglai Sect, in her previous life.

This person is recognized as a saint of alchemy in the entire world of immortal cultivation. In the field of alchemy, if he claims to be second, no one dares to claim to be first.

However, alchemy practitioners are different from medical practitioners. Xuan Yangzi is not a medical practitioner, so he cannot cure her heart disease. He wants to take her as his disciple, but it is just an idea.

As for what the system said about being promoted directly from a menial disciple to a personal disciple, it was simply impossible.

The reason was that she had heard in her previous life that almost all the disciples who entered the Penglai Sect started out as menial disciples in the outer sect.

The promotion from menial disciple to outer disciple requires the decision of the elders, while the promotion from outer disciple to inner disciple requires passing the trial assessment.

One can sign up for the trial assessment once every three months. The requirement is that one's cultivation must have reached the foundation-building stage and pass the assessment to become a true inner disciple.

As for direct disciples, only those who rank among the top in the sect competition or enter the list of geniuses of the immortal sect will have the opportunity to enter the master's hall and be selected as direct disciples by the elders and immortal masters.

Compared with other sects, the promotion process for disciples of Penglai Sect is the strictest and the fairest.

There is no case of a useless person with five spiritual roots being directly selected as a personal disciple.

Everything depends on real ability.

Therefore, there are children from aristocratic families who stay in the outer sect for decades. Family background is the most useless in Penglai Sect.

Therefore, even if Xuan Yangzi wanted to accept her as his disciple, he couldn't do so just by saying a word.

At least she had to rely on her own strength to enter the inner sect and the master's hall before she could be accepted as a disciple by Xuan Yangzi.

But putting everything aside, there is still our enemy Jiang Shaoling.

The next second, Jiang Shaoling said, "No, I don't like her. I don't want a delicate and sickly girl to be my junior sister."

"Also, I don't care whether she can repair her heart meridians, whether she is extremely talented, or whether she has the ability to enter the headmaster's hall. If she fails the assessment today, I will expel her from the Spirit Plant Garden today."

"Since you, old man, like her so much, then see if she has the ability to stay in the Spirit Plant Garden, so that I don't have to drive her away and you accuse me of deliberately bullying her."

Xuan Yangzi also became excited when he heard it.

"Okay, okay, then I'll do as you say. I, your teacher, will stay in the garden today to see if this girl can pass your assessment."

"If this girl passes this test, can I, as her teacher, accept her as my disciple?"

Jiang Shaoling laughed ruffianly: "Are you the master or am I the master? Why are you asking me if you want to accept a disciple?"

"Hey! You little bastard, you're asking for a beating again!" Xuan Yangzi said this, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Instead, he said to the outside of the courtyard gate: "Girl, you heard everything, right? Whether you can stay in the garden is up to you."

Being suddenly called out, Ye Qingning stood up somewhat awkwardly and walked into the garden with small steps.

He placed the pile of books he was holding on the ground and bowed: "Disciple Ye Qingning pays homage to the Grand Elder and greets Uncle Jiang."

Xuan Yangzi nodded slightly, then stroked his beard and looked Ye Qingning up and down.

You know what, he had never seen such a pretty girl.

Although her complexion was a little pale, she was still a sick beauty who looked better than others.

She is only fourteen now. I wonder how beautiful she will be in two years.

What's wrong with this little bastard? He doesn't want such a pretty girl to be his junior sister?

Do you like ugly ones?

This kid has quite a special vision!

And there's this pile of books. Are you sure this little bastard isn't trying to make things difficult for us?

Jiang Shaoling coughed lightly, obviously embarrassed.

I was so focused on talking to the old man that I didn't notice there was someone outside the garden.

The old man is really something. He knew someone was coming but he didn’t tell him. Everything he said was overheard!

But he just didn't like delicate and sickly women. Was he wrong? He just said it out loud.

"Did you remember everything for one night?"

Jiang Shaoling's tone was not friendly, and he received a glare from the Supreme Elder right after he finished speaking.

Seeing Ye Qingning nod, he felt that Ye Qingning was just showing off. In fact, it was impossible for him to remember all the contents of the book.

He curled his lips and said, "Follow me."

Ye Qingning followed him, having guessed that Jiang Shaoling was going to test the spiritual plants in her garden.

For alchemists, being able to accurately identify spiritual herbs is one of the basic skills. If the spiritual herbs are identified incorrectly, how can they refine the right elixir?

After walking along a winding stone path, Ye Qingning arrived at the center of the spiritual plant garden.

The rippling stream in front of you extends across the entire garden like a silver ribbon.

On both sides of the stream, low stone railings surround it, dividing the garden into small spiritual fields in an orderly manner. Each spiritual field is planted with spiritual plants of various shapes.

Jiang Shaoling lowered his eyes, pointed at a half-opened purple flower and asked, "Tell me what kind of spiritual herb is this?"

Ye Qingning only glanced at it lightly, and replied the next second: "This is the Purple Frost Flower. It is in full bloom in March. It has the miraculous effect of calming the mind and soul, and improving cultivation."

Jiang Shaoling raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his eyes: "Oh? How did you identify it as a purple frost flower?"

I'm sure it's not a blind guess.

Ye Qingning smiled faintly, a little dazzling.

"The Purple Frost Flower is different from other purple flowers. While there are many flowers with pale purple petals, only the Purple Frost Flower has a faint silver thread flowing between its veins. This is a unique mark of the Purple Frost Flower, so it is not difficult to identify."

Jiang Shaoling snorted inwardly, thinking it was just a coincidence. It just happened that Ye Qingning saw the purple frost flower recorded in the book last night.

But soon, he was slapped in the face.

Because he asked about more than a dozen spiritual plants in succession, and confirmed that these more than a dozen spiritual plants were recorded in ten books respectively, but he never expected that Ye Qingning answered all of them correctly without any hesitation.

Especially that "come on" expression, which made Jiang Shaoling so angry that his forehead was throbbing.

On the other hand, Xuan Yangzi's eyes were full of approval, and the more he looked at Ye Qingning, the more he liked him.

Every time someone asked about spiritual herbs, the girl was able to answer in just a few breaths, which was enough to prove that she had a very deep understanding of spiritual herbs, which could not be achieved by just flipping through a few books.

But this brat still seems to be unwilling to give in.
