Chapter 2072 The Vengeful Young Lady 8

It was time for Zhongli to go down the mountain to buy supplies again. When she saw her junior sister teasing the snow fox, she suddenly realized that she had overlooked something.

My junior sister spends all her time playing with cats and dogs, yet she effortlessly reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and I've never seen her encounter any bottlenecks.

The others spent most of their time cultivating, but they couldn't cultivate as fast as she did.

Her junior sister was far more talented than she had imagined. That was wonderful! With her junior sister's guidance, she was sure she wouldn't fall too far behind.

Zhongli was about to go down the mountain to buy supplies when Su Yan suddenly said, "By the way, I haven't given you a gift since you successfully established your foundation. Here's a bracelet I made myself; don't be put off by it."

Zhongli was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected to receive a gift while building up to the Foundation Establishment stage. Although the bracelet looked like it was just an ordinary crystal bracelet, it was made by her junior sister herself, and that was enough. She would definitely wear it every day.

"Thank you, Junior Sister. I didn't even give you a gift when you reached Foundation Establishment. I'm just going down the mountain to buy some things, so I'll buy you whatever you like."

Su Yan thought for a moment and then said, "Why don't you buy me some snacks? There aren't any fresh snacks to eat here in Tianwai Mountain, and I'm getting a little craving."

Zhongli chuckled; his junior sister still had the heart of a child.

"Okay, I'll definitely buy you more snacks."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll be waiting for you."

"it is good."

Zhongli wore the bracelet, feeling very happy. Since losing her family, no one had ever treated her so well. She would definitely repay her junior sister's kindness.

Zhongli first went to a small town near Qingxia Mountain to buy a lot of snacks, including various dried fruits, roasted melon seeds and peanuts, candied hawthorn, sugar figurines, and maltose. Only then did he go to Jinzi Peak to purchase spiritual food.

If you are only eating regular food, you don't need to buy any; each peak has a monthly allowance.

If you want to eat spiritual food imbued with spiritual energy, you have to pay for it yourself.

The people of Tianwai Mountain have always eaten spiritual food, which not only replenishes their spiritual energy but also helps them resist the severe cold.

Besides, in the beginning, Xuanling Immortal Venerable had asked her to buy spiritual food, so Zhongli didn't know that she could also receive ordinary ingredients.

With nothing to do, Tianxing accompanied his junior sister from Danfeng to collect ordinary ingredients. He glanced at Zhongli and saw that her cultivation level was only the first level of Qi Refining. He sneered inwardly, "Someone with five spiritual roots has actually reached the first level of Qi Refining. Staying in a cold and impoverished place like Tianwai Mountain, she must have suffered a lot to be able to cultivate Qi into the body as an outer disciple."

Unexpectedly, the next moment, when the disciples in the storage room took out ingredients imbued with spiritual energy and counted them for Zhongli, Tianxing couldn't help but ask, "Do people on Tianwai Mountain only eat spiritual food?"

Zhongli looked at her with a puzzled expression, as if asking if she ate other foods besides spiritual food, and asked, "If you don't eat spiritual food, what do you eat?"

"You, an outer disciple, also eat spiritual food?"

"Yes, Master has always treated everyone equally. I eat and live with my junior sister."

Tianxing felt a little resentful at this moment. As an inner disciple of Danfeng, she usually ate ordinary food. Why could an outer disciple like her eat spiritual food every meal? No wonder she, with five spiritual roots, could reach the first level of Qi Refining. It turned out that she ate well.

"Hehe, Master Xuanling is truly benevolent," Tianxing said insincerely.

Another disciple exclaimed, "No wonder you, with only five spiritual roots, were able to cultivate Qi into your body in just two months. It turns out you've been eating spiritual food all along. You've really struck gold!"

Zhongli said somewhat uneasily, "Only my junior sister and I dine at Tianwai Mountain. Perhaps Master thinks I can't eat much, so he has never interfered."

"You really got lucky. There are few people in Tianwai Mountain, so the two of you really can't eat much spiritual food."

"I never expected that you would have such good fortune after joining Tianwai Mountain."

"You really got a great deal."

Zhongli was somewhat alarmed. After carefully packing up the ingredients, she hurriedly left.

Tianxing watched her hurried figure, his eyes almost overflowing with jealousy.

Why is it that a maid can eat spiritual food, while I, a dignified inner disciple, am no different from ordinary disciples and still eat ordinary food every day?

Moreover, if she wasn't mistaken, she had just used a spatial ring to collect supplies. As an inner disciple, she only had a Qiankun bag to use, but she had a spatial ring. Why was that?

In Tianxing's eyes, Zhongli was, to put it nicely, an outer disciple of Tianwai Mountain, but to put it bluntly, she was Su Yan's maid, a playmate that Master Xuanling had found for Su Yan.

Unexpectedly, she, a mere maid, was able to cultivate Qi and enter the body by eating spiritual food, while I, having cultivated diligently, had only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

To outsiders, Zhong Li is only at the first level of Qi Refining. Given her five spiritual roots, being able to reach the first level of Qi Refining is already considered hard work.

But they had no idea that Zhongli had already successfully established his foundation.

If they knew, they would be utterly shocked and driven mad with jealousy.

The reason why no one could see through her cultivation level was naturally because the bracelet Su Yan gave her had the effect of concealing her cultivation level.

She had anticipated that if Zhongli's cultivation level were too high, it would only attract the attention of others, so it was better to keep a low profile.

When Zhongli returned to Tianwai Mountain, he saw Su Yan dozing under a pine tree and couldn't help but smile.

Junior Sister can sleep anywhere. Others are lucky if they don't shiver in this freezing weather. It's only because Junior Sister cultivates even when she's sleeping that she's not afraid of the cold.

Thinking of what her senior brothers had said before, she began to worry again.

It turns out that everyone else was still eating ordinary food, while she was able to eat spiritual food every meal with her junior sister. Perhaps she misunderstood the Immortal Venerable's meaning. The Immortal Venerable was asking her to buy spiritual food for her junior sister, while she should consciously eat the ordinary food.

Su Yan sensed someone standing still beside her, and she knew it was Zhong Li just by his aura.

When Su Yan suddenly opened her eyes, Zhong Li was startled.

"Junior Sister, did I disturb your cultivation?"

"No, why are you standing here without moving?"

"Well, I only learned today that the disciples of other peaks used to eat ordinary food. From now on, I'll eat ordinary food like them."

"So that's all? Do you think I'm someone who lacks spirit stones? We don't lack spirit stones, why should we wrong ourselves? Just live your own life and don't care about others."

"But what if Master... blames me?"

"Don't worry, he didn't say you can't eat. It's more fun when the two of us eat together. I can't eat if you don't eat with me."

"really?"

"Really, don't think too much. The most important thing right now is to cultivate, not what to eat. You've wasted most of the day, go and cultivate."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhongli consciously obeyed Su Yan's arrangements, and subconsciously regarded Su Yan as her master.
