Chapter 2074 The Vengeful Young Lady 10

Two days later, Su Yan began to teach Zhongli talisman incantations.

"It's actually very simple. When you put pen to paper, you need to infuse it with spiritual power. You must do it in one go. It doesn't matter if you're slow. You have five spiritual roots. If you're drawing a thunder and fire talisman, you should use your fire spiritual root. If you're drawing a growth talisman, you should use your wood spiritual root. This way, all five of your spiritual roots can be trained and it will be easier to draw the talisman."

"Oh, I see. But these talismans look like they're really hard to draw."

"It's not difficult at all. Practice makes perfect. The more you draw, the easier it will become. Draw fifty of each type of talisman every day. I'll check them tonight."

"Okay, I will definitely live up to your teachings, Senior Sister."

Zhongli spent his mornings practicing magic, his afternoons drawing talismans, and his noon refining a batch of pills. In the evenings, Su Yan would check on his day's progress. He lived a fulfilling life.

In just half a month, she was able to draw a third-grade talisman. Although its power was not great, compared to the disciples of Talisman Peak, she was considered to be very talented.

She spent half a year drawing talismans, and she could draw basically all the commonly used talismans, and the grade could reach above the fourth grade.

Su Yan was quite satisfied with her learning ability, but she still had a lot more to teach her.

“Starting today, you will study formations with me. I have been researching formations recently.”

"Ah, Junior Sister is already learning formations, you're really amazing."

Zhongli felt that the sentence she said to Su Yan the most was "You are really amazing". She felt that her junior sister learned everything with ease, and that her talent had surpassed that of the other peaks.

She was proud to have such a senior sister; she was so glad she came to Tianwai Mountain in the first place.

Nowadays, most of the disciples on the other peaks of Qingxia Mountain are only at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining. Apart from those geniuses who have successfully established their foundations, everyone's level is about the same.

Zhongli, who was considered a complete waste in the eyes of others, has now caught up with the cultivation speed of the first tier, but his cultivation level is hidden so that others cannot see it.

Her cultivation level was already in the top tier, but in terms of magic, she was far ahead.

Because she possesses five spiritual roots, she has learned a cultivation technique for each corresponding spiritual root. In addition, Su Yan taught her alchemy, formations, and talismans, so she can now be considered an all-rounder.

The disciples of other peaks all focused on one thing, while she excelled in all areas. Although she couldn't be said to have mastered every skill to the highest level, she was at least at an above-average level.

In order to learn these things, I used to go down the mountain to buy supplies every three to five days, but now I only go down the mountain once every two weeks.

She felt she didn't have enough time at all; there was just so much to learn.

But every time she was busy cultivating, she would see her junior sister playing around. At these times, she would always sigh with envy that her junior sister's talent was indeed much stronger than hers. Things that were difficult for her, her junior sister could learn in a glance. Not only did she learn them herself, but she could also teach them to her.

Sometimes you have to admit that some people are born to cultivate immortality. While others face many difficulties in cultivating immortality, she does it as easily as eating and sleeping.

Every time she went down the mountain and heard others arguing about who was the most powerful among the generation of prodigies, she would always think to herself, of course it was her junior sister. Her junior sister was so powerful that if she were willing to go down the mountain, she would probably have shocked the entire sect long ago.

Her junior sister told her that she should be low-key, otherwise she would have already shown off to those people.

Zhongli no longer needed to walk down the mountain; instead, he flew down on his sword.

This was the sword control technique she had recently learned from her junior sister. With a whoosh, Zhongli flew from Tianwai Mountain to Jinzi Peak.

At the warehouse, several disciples were queuing up.

Tianxing recently returned from a mission and went to the warehouse to collect supplies.

Suddenly, a person descended from the sky and landed in front of her. Upon closer inspection, she realized that it was Zhongli, the maid from Tianwai Mountain.

She can actually fly on a sword? Wasn't she only at the first level of Qi Refining?

"You actually learned how to fly on a sword?" Tianxing said to Zhongli without any politeness.

Zhongli noticed the contempt in her tone and coldly replied, "Is there a problem with me being able to fly on a sword?"

"Wait, aren't you supposed to have five spiritual roots? How did you learn to fly on a sword so quickly?"

"So what if I have five spiritual roots? Is sword control difficult? I learned it in three days."

Three days? That's two days faster than her. How is that possible? I heard that the spiritual energy in Tianwai Mountain is thin. How could someone with only five spiritual roots learn sword control? Could it be that she secretly ate some kind of elixir?

"How did you do that? The spiritual energy in Tianwai Mountain is so thin, how could you have learned it in just three days? Did you steal some kind of elixir or magic pill?"

"I didn't steal any; it was a Qi-replenishing pill I refined myself,"

"What? You, with mixed spiritual roots, are learning alchemy? That's hilarious! Can an outer disciple like you afford an alchemy furnace?"

"No need to buy it, my master is very good to me, I can use his alchemy room at will."

"How could that be? You dare to meddle in the alchemy room of the Xuanling Immortal Venerable? If you damage his alchemy furnace, can you afford to pay for it? Besides, you are only at the first level of Qi Refining. Where would you get so much spiritual power to refine pills? You are simply lying."

"Qi Refining Level 1? I've already..."

She suddenly remembered her junior sister's advice to keep a low profile to avoid arousing jealousy; she had almost blurted out that she had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Sure enough, these people are prone to jealousy.

Now that she's using her master's alchemy room to refine pills, people are already jealous. If she were to say that she has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, they would probably be even more jealous.

"What have you already done?"

"In short, all my pills are made by myself. Here is a Grade 4 Qi-Replenishing Pill that I made myself. Don't slander me."

“Even a disciple of Danfeng wouldn’t dare to refine a Replenishing Yuan Pill so casually, let alone a fourth-grade one. How could you have refined it so easily? Did you take advantage of Xuanling Immortal Venerable’s seclusion and bully Su Yan because of his young age, stealing the Replenishing Yuan Pill and claiming it was yours to refine?”

"No, I really refined it myself. I even designed the auspicious cloud pattern on it myself."

Every alchemist would put effort into creating the patterns on their pills in order to leave their own unique mark.

Imprinting one's own unique alchemical patterns serves as a form of identification for an alchemist.

Tianxing took a Replenishing Yuan Pill to examine it, and it was indeed a Grade 4 Replenishing Yuan Pill. The pattern on the pill resembled the character "钟" (zhong, meaning bell).

She really knows how to refine pills, and the quality of the pills she refines is not low.

How could an outer disciple like her refine such high-quality pills? Where did she get all those materials?

Outer disciples only have ten low-grade spirit stones a month, how could she possibly afford the spiritual herbs needed to refine pills?

“You’re lying. Even if you know how to refine, can you afford spiritual herbs? You should confess honestly whether you stole Su Yan’s. After all, she’s only seven years old and doesn’t understand many things. She’s entitled to five Qi-replenishing pills every month. You’ve taken her share, which is why you have enough spiritual energy to learn sword control.”

"I didn't. I've never even collected my junior sister's allowance. You can find out if you check."

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! If she doesn't collect those stipends, how will she cultivate? With the spiritual energy of Tianwai Mountain, can she even reach the Foundation Establishment stage in fifty years?"

"Junior Sister has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Give it back to me. Anyway, I didn't steal or rob, so it's none of your business."

“Su Yan and I have a past relationship. I won’t just stand by and watch you take advantage of her youth and deceive her so easily. You’d better come with me to the Discipline Hall to explain things.” With that, Tianxing attacked Zhongli.

She thought that as a disciple in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, capturing her should be an easy task.

However, reality gave her a harsh slap in the face.
