Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

153 Can’t Waste Time

Dong Xi stretched lazily. Seeing that it was still early, she could not waste time. Why not make a trip to the library?

Just as she was about to go out, a familiar butterfly appeared in front of the restriction. Dong Xi let the butterfly in, and the butterfly flew in front of Dong Xi and instantly burned and emitted a voice message.

“Xiaoxi, come over for a while,” her master said.

Alright, the library could only wait.

Since she was already about to use Spatial Bending, Dong Xi dispersed her spiritual power and obediently ran towards her master’s cave.

She had to train her body anyway, so it would not be a waste of time. It was just a little slow, but her master should be able to wait.

Master Lingxu’s tea had already lost its taste, but Dong Xi had yet to arrive.

“What has Xiaoxi been busy with? Why hasn’t she come over after so long?” Master Lingxu could not help but ask.

Liang Yan thought for a moment and said, “Junior Sister has refined a lot of pills. The sect doesn’t lack Spirit Restore Pills and Wind Speed Pills anymore.”

Instantly, Master Lingxu was a little shocked. It was the first time he had seen such a hardworking disciple. “These are the pills she produced after a few months?”

“That’s right,” Liang Yan immediately replied, “Dong Xi is refining a lot of pills now. She’ll be able to learn how to produce two furnaces of pills at the same time.”

Liang Yan was impressed.

Master Lingxu had been refining pills for hundreds of years. Even when he was refining low-level pills, he could refine two cauldrons of pills at the same time. That was because Lingxu had been refining pills for hundreds of years and was already familiar with it. However, this child had only been refining pills for about half a year. She was really a genius!

Master Lingxu continued to ask, “how’s Chi Yan? She can’t be refining pills too, right?”

Liang Yan immediately cupped his fists and said, “Master, you’re right this time. Chi Yan has been in the alchemy room for the past two to three months. I heard that she and Little Junior Sister have set up some kind of alchemy service. They can help other disciples to make pills and they need to take a commission from it.”

Master Lingxu was speechless.

“Is it Dong Xi’s idea?” Lingxu asked.

Chi Yan was born to be more upright, and her innate pride would not allow her to do so.

“That’s right,” replied Liang Yan immediately, “Little Junior Sister has always been smart.”

When Lingxu heard this, he sighed. “This girl… She’s a little too clever. The sect’s original intention was to let those disciples practice, but in the end, the little girl refined all the pills. What else can the others practice?”

“Master, Little Junior Sister has thought of all the problems you’re worried about, so she only takes on missions that are owed to the sect for more than 30 years,” Liang Yan said.

Lingxu remained silent, while Liang Yan continued, “Well, there are still benefits for the Juniro Sisters refining pills like this. All the disciples of the Alchemy Sect are very diligent under Dong Xi’s leadership. The alchemy room is full every day. If you want to refine pills, you have to queue in advance. The stock of the Spirit Restore Pills and Wind Speed Pills is sufficient. I came here today to ask you if you could sell some of the middle and lower-grade pills that the sect disciples don’t need to the next-door Destiny Valley?”

This time, Master Lingxu was truly shocked. It had only been half a year, and the sect’s medicinal pills had gone from being in short supply to having an excess?

“That works too!” Master Lingxu said.

Now that the Alchemy Sect disciples were so secretive, the chances of being able to refine pills perfectly had been greatly increased. As a result, other than top-grade pills, no one was willing to eat middle and low-grade pills.

The master and disciple talked for a long time before Dong Xi climbed up, panting.

Dong Xi cast a spell to clean herself and shouted towards his master’s cave, “Master! This disciple is a little late!”

Lingxu and Liang Yan, who had long been used to voice transmissions, were instantly stunned when they heard Dong Xi shouting.

After a moment, Lingxu deactivated the restriction and let Dong Xi in. Seeing Dong Xi’s flushed face, Lingxu asked in confusion, “Did you climb up on your own again?”

Dong Xi nodded and looked at her master. She asked, “Master, I have something to ask you.”

With a wave of his hand, a cup of tea flew to Dong Xi. Lingxu said, “Drink some tea and rest for a while.”

Liang Yan, who had been talking for a long time without even drinking a sip of water, was speechless.

Could Master’s favoritism be more obvious?

Dong Xi did not hesitate. She lifted his teacup and took a sip. After drinking, she immediately felt refreshed.

Dong Xi’s eyes brightened and he praised, “Master, this tea is really good!”

“Since Xiaoxi likes it so much, I’ll bring some back for you,” Lingxu said with a smile.

Dong Xi secretly took out a porcelain bottle from her storage ring and said with some embarrassment, “Can… Can I do that?”

Looking at Dong Xi’s actions, the smile on Master Lingxu’s face became even wider. “Since you acknowledge me as your Master, then once a Master, forever a Father. There’s no need to be polite with me.”
