The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

Perhaps the medicine given by Tan Luo took effect, Hu Xingtong slept very soundly, so much so that he woke up at noon the next day.

He stretched himself, his body filled with much stronger energy than before. He clenched his fists tightly, and the surging power surprised Hu Xingtong. He was able to advance to the middle stage of foundation building in just one night. The upgrade speed was simply taking off.

"Xiao Wuzi, what did my master give me yesterday? I always feel that my recovery today is better than yesterday." Recalling the medicine that Tan Luo fed her yesterday, it tasted sweet and refreshing, very much like the Coke in the real world. I don't know if it was because of that bottle of Coke that she recovered so quickly.

I don't know the name, but I can break down the ingredients. It contains Black God Grass, Thousand Fruit Flower, and Dragon Cold Liquid. Its effects are primarily for promoting tissue regeneration, alleviating fatigue, and healing the mind.

Tsk, it has many medicinal effects, and most importantly, it tastes good, much better than those dry pills.

[Xingxing, hurry up and pack up and get ready to go out. Your senior and junior sisters are here.]

"Huh? Why are they here?" Hu Xingtong was too weak yesterday, so he didn't hear what Tan Luo said later. Now he was very surprised that the two people who hadn't seen him for a year suddenly came here.

[Don't worry about that. Clean yourself up first. The clothes you were wearing yesterday have already been burned.] The system reminded, obviously more anxious than Hu Xingtong.

Upon hearing this, Hu Xingtong noticed that he was wrapped in a blue robe, which, judging from the style, was undoubtedly Tan Luo's outer robe.

When Hu Xingtong thought of himself in disarray and in pain in front of his master, he wished he could find a crack in the ground to squeeze himself into.

She accurately found a piece of talisman paper engraved with cleansing runes from among the many talismans, cleaned herself, changed into a goose yellow dress, and pushed the door open and walked out.

"Third Junior Sister."

"Third Senior Sister."

As soon as the door opened, a familiar voice came from the side. Hu Xingtong knew who it was but still pretended to be confused and turned to look, asking, "Senior Sister, Junior Sister, why are you here?"

Han Qianyu didn't hide anything and asked directly, "Master said that he was protecting you yesterday, but you were too tired and fell asleep. Master was worried and asked us to come and see you."

I don’t know whether Tan Luo said that he was absorbing the strange fire. Anyway, he didn’t plan to tell them unless they asked Hu Xingtong.

"It's okay, Senior Sister. I'm feeling much better now and was just planning to go out for a walk."

While speaking, Tan Yuruo took out a goose yellow hair accessory from the storage ring, walked behind Hu Xingtong, and skillfully tied her hair into a bun.

Hu Xingtong did not stop her, but he felt a little strange in his heart. It seemed that this junior sister liked to do her hair every time she saw her.

"Okay, senior sister, take a look, doesn't it look good like this?" After tying her hair, Tan Yuruo looked at Hu Xingtong and Han Qianyu, her eyes full of smiles. The more she looked at them, the more she looked like a little girl next door.

"It looks good. It's much better than the way Third Junior Sister wore her hair at first." Han Qianyu was not good at complimenting people, so she could only make a before-and-after comparison. Tan Yunuo seemed to have gotten used to it, and she looked at the silent Hu Xingtong with a questioning look on her face.

Hu Xingtong smiled when he saw this, reached out and touched the little junior sister's face, praising her: "She's very pretty. With your skills, Senior Sister will definitely become the most beautiful child in the entire sect."

"Hahaha, brat, why does Senior Sister say that about you?" Tan Yuruo was laughed at, and her cheeks felt embarrassed by this strange compliment.

"hiss--"

"Yes, Third Junior Sister calling me 'brat' makes me feel old." Since Hu Xingtong and the other two came, Han Qianyu has obviously talked a lot more, and is getting further and further away from her original tomboyish personality.

"Hush-hush-"

Hu Xingtong vaguely heard some strange noises and frowned, looking around for something.

It's strange. I always feel like I hear the sound of a snake spitting out its tongue, but I don't know where it is.

Han Qianyu and Tan Yuruo fell silent immediately when they saw Hu Xingtong's sudden strange behavior. They looked at each other, not understanding what Hu Xingtong was doing.

"Junior sister, what are you looking for?" Han Qianyu was really confused, so she asked.

Hu Xingtong searched for a long time but didn't see any trace of the snake. He looked around worriedly while answering: "I heard the sound of a snake spitting out its tongue. I'm going to see if there is a snake coming up."

"Is this it?" Tan Yuruo raised his left hand in a daze. Hu Xingtong took the opportunity to look over and saw a long green strip as thick as two fingers coiled on Tan Yuruo's arm. Near the wrist, a pair of golden pupils flashed with strange light. Below the eyes, a red tongue contracted back and forth, making a hissing sound.

Hu Xingtong was worried that he hadn't seen it clearly, so he stood there and asked the system, "Xiao Wuzi, what is that?"

The system didn't take it seriously and responded: [The Azure Sea Python is a spirit snake, and has a certain amount of Yinglong blood in its body.]

"Buzz" Hu Xingtong felt as if her head was split apart, and she stood there not daring to move. She was fearless, not even death, but she was afraid of three things, one was pythons, one was insects, and one was poisonous animals. Coincidentally, snakes are generally poisonous.

Seeing that she didn't move, Tan Yuruo understood something and stood still without moving closer. Instead, Han Qianyu stepped forward and asked, "Junior sister, are you afraid of snakes?"

Hu Xingtong visibly swallowed when he heard the word "snake" and subconsciously took a half step back. "I'm scared. I'm afraid she'll eat me or bite me and I'll foam at the mouth."

"Third Senior Sister, Haiying won't bite anyone easily. She is the spirit pet I signed a contract with after we met." Tan Yuruo lowered her eyes, her tone sounding a little aggrieved.

[Xingxing, this Azure Sea Python is actually Tan Yuruo's mother. Tan Yuruo was abandoned as a child, and it was this python that raised her.] The system couldn't bear to read any further and could only explain for Tan Yuruo.

"I'm just afraid. The stereotype in the real world describes snakes as cold-blooded animals that will take revenge. I just can't overcome it for the time being." Hu Xingtong listened to the system's words, but couldn't overcome himself for a while.

"Don't be afraid, Third Junior Sister. Haiying doesn't bite people and is very friendly." Han Qianyu tried to smooth things over and even stroked the scales of the Blue Sea Python in front of Hu Xingtong.

Help, someone come and save me, Hu Xingtong cried out in his heart, but he waved to the Blue Sea Python from a distance: "Hai, hello——"

The movements were a little stiff, but sincerity was evident. Tan Yuruo immediately became happy and raised a sweet, deceptive smile.

After coaxing her, Hu Xingtong quickly changed the subject: "Senior Sister, do you have anything to do today?"

She wanted to go down the mountain to see Gu Sihe and the others.

Han Qianyu shook her head. Even if their master hadn't called them, they would have come to see Hu Xingtong in the next few days. The main reason was that Ye Nanhe from the Yu Jian Sect had sent a message saying that he wanted to invite them to meet. To put it bluntly, Gu Sihe and Hu Xingtong both wanted to meet tacitly.

"Nothing, Ye Nanhe wanted to invite us over, so my junior sister and I came to ask about your plans."

Well, this is a coincidence, I might as well go and take a look.

"Yes, I haven't left the sect for a year. I'm so bored. I might as well go to the market at the Yu Jian Sect to see if there are any materials suitable for refining weapons." Hu Xingtong was right about the second half of the sentence. There was a natural mineral vein near the Yu Jian Sect, containing various metal ores of different materials. Hu Xingtong planned to go and take a look. If there was anything suitable, she could use the new strange fire to refine weapons.

"Then let's go."

……

On the way, Hu Xingtong was not idle either. He learned from the system what had happened in the Yu Jian Sect over the past year. The system had long thought that Hu Xingtong would be concerned about this one day, so it made a short film about what had happened between Gu Sihe and Ye Nanhe over the past year.

Please watch the VCR:

After leaving the Spirit Testing Platform, Ye Nanhe brought Gu Sihe back to the Yu Jian Sect. Upon hearing the news, the Sect's leader personally went out to welcome his little disciple.

"Xiao Nanhe, is this the little girl with golden spiritual roots that you mentioned?" A handsome man in green clothes and tied hair walked over.

Ye Nanhe performed the disciple's salute before answering, "Today, there is also a little girl who awakened her golden spiritual roots. However, she is of the dual-grade gold and fire. Later, Han Qianyu from Fanyun Sect came over and said that she was the destined disciple predicted by Tanluo Xianzun, so I didn't fight for her and only brought her back."

Bai Chengyan, the head of the Yu Jian Sect, looked at Gu Sihe. The latter was dressed in rags, but her eyes were clear and she faintly exuded the lightness of a golden spiritual root. Seeing that he was looking at her, she looked at him boldly.

"Interesting," Ye Nanhe couldn't see it, but Bai Chengyan could see that this little girl was not just a simple golden spiritual root. The faint sense of lightness emanating from her body could only be possessed by the secluded race.

"Nanhe, take your junior sister to wash up first, and then come to Haiya to find me after you're done." After saying that, Bai Chengyan turned into a white shadow and left into the distance.

Ye Nanhe looked at Gu Sihe. Normally, only he could go to the sea cliff that his master had just mentioned. It was a place that even the elders of the sect were not allowed to go. Yet, he actually allowed a little girl he had just met to go in. The strangest thing was that his master was talking about his junior sister. Did he mean that he planned to accept Gu Sihe as his second direct disciple?

Forget it, Ye Nanhe didn’t plan to think too much about it, and took Gu Sihe to wash up.

After washing up, Ye Nanhe led Gu Sihe to Haiya. On the way, she briefly introduced the basics of the Yujian Sect and the uniqueness of Haiya. Haiya, one of the most mysterious places in the Yujian Sect, was not only breathtakingly beautiful but also a forbidden area designated by Sect Leader Bai Chengyan, where only direct disciples were forbidden to enter.

Although Gu Sihe didn't know what she was about to face, her intuition from deep within her heart told her that this would be an important turning point in her life.

Arriving at the cliff, they saw clouds and mist, the mountains and the sea connected, as if they were standing between heaven and earth. Bai Chengyan had been waiting for a long time. He smiled and looked at Gu Sihe gently, his eyes showing both scrutiny and expectation.

"Master," Ye Nanhe bowed, and seeing this, Gu Sihe followed suit and bowed as well.

"It's okay. Don't be as old-fashioned as your senior sister. Just be casual." Bai Chengyan used his spiritual power to lift the two of them and stopped Gu Sihe from saluting.

"Amo, come out and take a look." Bai Chengyan called softly towards the water bank behind him, and Gu Sihe looked out curiously.

I saw a touch of blue poking its head out from the pool. It was a mermaid with elegant and gorgeous appearance. Its body was covered with blue scales that sparkled like stars. Its eyes were like two bright sapphires, revealing wisdom and gentleness.

The mermaid swam slowly to the shore and jumped out of the water lightly. In the sunlight, her scales sparkled brightly. In the blink of an eye, she turned into a woman in a blue dress with aqua blue beads on her forehead.

"Amo, this is the child I told you about." Bai Chengyan introduced with a hint of tenderness in his tone.

The woman named Amo followed Bai Chengyan's gesture and looked at Gu Sihe who was standing beside her. There was a faint blue light flashing in her blue eyes. Under the gaze of everyone, a tear gradually slipped out of the corner of the woman's eye, almost scaring Bai Chengyan.

"Master's wife, is there something wrong?" Ye Nanhe calmly pulled Gu Sihe closer. She didn't want Gu Sihe's appearance to make Master's wife feel uncomfortable, nor did she want the master to vent his anger on Gu Sihe.

Bai Chengyan was a little worried. He rubbed his wife's back and comforted her softly, "Isn't it? If not, forget it. I will accept her as my disciple and she will never come here again."

Only Gu Sihe stood stupidly behind Ye Nanhe, watching all this happen.
