Chapter 143: Meeting the Old Woman Again
“Why? Don’t you want to become a powerful cultivator, senior sister?” Qin Xiaoxi asked.
He Hui didn’t answer directly, just shook her head silently.
In the next few days, Qin Xiaoxi followed the disciples of the Li Sword sect to train.
Every morning, Qin Xiaoxi meditated with them to balance the spiritual power in her body.
After breakfast and a short rest, it was time for cultivation techniques and swordsmanship training.
Every day was the same for half a month.
However, Qin Xiaoxi felt that her life was very fulfilling here.
She went to bed early every day, looking forward to tomorrow’s training.
“It seems that Qin Xiaoxi, the girl we temporarily took in, increased her spiritual power by leaps and bounds recently.” The two elders were watching the training not far away.
Qin Xiaoxi injected her spiritual power into her sword. In a short while, her swordkee slashed out and cut the scarecrow into pieces.
“But… Elder Xu, I’m afraid that taking in this female disciple without the sect leader’s knowledge is not a good idea.” Elder Zhang said worriedly.
“Not to mention her family and ancestors, just from her physique, Qin Xiaoxi is already talented and intelligent. She had only been here for half a month, but she is already better than the other disciples who became cultivators half a year ago. She’s a rare talent.”
Elder Xu was naturally very satisfied with Qin Xiaoxi.
Although she had never spoken to Qin Xiaoxi, Elder Xu had been secretly observing her for a long time.
“That’s true, but the sect leader is about to come out of her seclusion. You’d better think about how to explain this to her.”
Elder Xu just smiled and shook her head silently.
“Old Zhang, don’t worry. The sect leader will agree to take this girl as a disciple.”
Elder Zhang was confused by her words.
“How can you be so sure that the sect leader will agree to take her in? Just because she’s talented and intelligent?”
“There are some things that you don’t know. Although the sect leader is at a higher realm than me, I’m actually one year older than her. I naturally know a bit about the past of the Sakura sect.” Elder Xu had a mysterious look.
“Xu Qingfang, you and I can be considered halfway into the grave, but that doesn’t seem to stop you from keeping me in suspense, huh?” When Elder Zhang heard her answer, she couldn’t hold it in any longer. What past is she talking about? She was confused. “Fine, I won’t ask you anymore. It’s not like you would actually answer me.”
The two elders couldn’t help but laugh.
“Speaking of which, the Deity Sect will be here in the next two days.”
“What are they here for?”
Elder Xu shook her head, “Perhaps they have some urgent matter to discuss with the sect leader. I heard that their current sect leader accepted a disciple. He’s only 22 years old.”
“How do you know about the disciples that Mount God of Heaven accepts?” Elder Zhang couldn’t help but cast an astonished gaze at Elder Xu once again.
“Mount God of Heaven had only taken in one or two disciples. It’s not like you don’t know about this. I think… his name is Jiang Yun or something.” Xu Qingfang seemed to be deep in thought, “A few days ago, the old man from the Deity sect brought his disciples down the mountain with him.”
“But in the end, it’s still their business. Since Mount God of Heaven is coming, I believe that the sect leader’s training will end in these next few days.”
The two of them chatted for a while more before continuing to watch the disciples train.
“Xiaoxi, you’ve improved a lot recently.” He Hui looked at Qin Xiaoxi with great gratification.
“Really? Hahahaha, I just practice occasionally.”
Recently, Qin Xiaoxi became famous among her fellow disciples. They all knew that she was a junior sister who had only been here for less than half a month, but she could already beat half of them, her swordkee slash was as smooth as flowing water. It was as if she had reached the pinnacle of perfection.
Tonight, Qin Xiaoxi went up the mountain alone.
This time, she walked on a path that she had never taken before.
The path was winding and deep. The moonlight could only shine on the floor through the gaps between the trees.
Qin Xiaoxi stood at the intersection and was slightly stunned. Then, she walked onto the path. Both sides of the path were covered with dried leaves. Qin Xiaoxi could hear the sound of her every step on the dried leaves.
The fallen leaves were so thick and heavy that they should have covered the entire path. Judging from the situation, it was obvious that someone already passed by. This peaked Qin Xiaoxi’s curiosity.
During the days that she had been at the Sakura sect, Qin Xiaoxi had only been around this area, nowhere else.
After walking for about ten minutes, the originally dark path became much more spacious. The fallen leaves that were scattered all over the ground became sparse.
She continued to walk deeper.
Qin Xiaoxi also heard the sound of running water.
When she walked out of the forest, she saw a large open space. This open space was next to a cliff and a stream of water flowed down from the top of the mountain into a pool.
It was the first time that Qin Xiaoxi saw a waterfall here. Although it was not big, the sound gradually calmed her heart.
This was a very suitable place to balance the spiritual power in her body.
After admiring it for a while, Qin Xiaoxi sat cross-legged next to the pool and closed her eyes, balancing the spiritual power in her body.
For some reason, she felt a trace of different spiritual energy surging around her.
It was pure spiritual energy, which was different from the spiritual energy that fell from the small cave demons.
Qin Xiaoxi felt it bit by bit. Could it be… from this spring water?
“Spiritual spring… it’s great to use for cultivators to care for the spiritual power in their bodies.”
At this moment, an old voice came from behind her. Qin Xiaoxi was so shocked that she quickly stood up with one hand on the hilt of her sword.
When Qin Xiaoxi turned around, she saw an old woman standing behind her.
