“Old fox! Pei!”
Looking at Elder Black’s distant back, Hei Suo couldn’t help cursing.
Elder Black’s demands were too high; he couldn’t fulfill the ten times payment increase.
However, that was fine. Although he obviously couldn’t sort out Ling Xiao in the open, he could make moves secretly. Moreover, as long as he stayed within the sect’s rules, no one would say anything.
……
After the fight between Ling Xiao and Yang Cheng, Ling Xiao could feel that his understanding of <Snow Lotus Sword Art> and <Divine Prison King Fist> had improved further.
This was the benefit of actual combat, which couldn’t be achieved by sitting and cultivating.
Although he was not injured, his consumption had been quite big, but in front of others, he didn’t show the slightest hint of fatigue.
When he slowly walked down from the challenge stage, he met the fearful or jealous gazes of all the outer disciples as he walked towards Lan Yu’er’s side.
“Senior Sister, I didn’t disappoint you, did I?”
He grinned, revealing a mouth of white teeth and showing a child’s innocence.
Yes, speaking about it, he was just fourteen-years-old at present. Wasn’t he just a child?
“Humph, you actually made us worry for nothing. Whose fault is it?”
Lan Yu’er rebuked.
“How about I invite Senior Sister, Hall Master Old Yang, and Yuling for a meal?”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“Good, but you have to make it in person; moreover, you have to use materials with abundant spiritual qi that are above a hundred-years old. Otherwise, it will be bad for me and other martial artists.”
Lan Yu’er replied with a smile.
This was not the first time she had shown her bright and sunny smile in front of Ling Xiao.
Thanks to Ling Xiao, the other outer disciples’ eyes were also having a feast today.
“Above a hundred-years old… Okay, no problem.”
Ling Xiao thought for a while. In his Landscape World, not to mention a hundred-years-old ginsengs, but there were also many over a hundred-years-old pheasants, and some hundred-years-old or so condiments. Using them, it shouldn’t be a problem to make ginseng chicken soup.
Therefore, he agreed.
Perhaps only he could do this. Other people truly didn’t have the ability to make dishes with materials that were more than a hundred-years-old. It was truly too extravagant, but it was not a problem for him.
He believed that as his ability of “Landscape Master” continued to improve, not to mention just over a hundred-years-old materials, even five-hundred-years-old, one-thousand-years-old or even ten-thousand-years-old, he could use them to make dishes as pleased.
In fact, perhaps, because he had been a little beggar before, his desire for food far exceeded his desire for medicinal pills.
Fortunately, these goals were not conflicting. Understanding alchemy would make it easier to create dishes in the future.
“Keep on boasting. Is it so easy to get materials that are more than a hundred-years-old?”
Lan Yu’er indeed didn’t believe Ling Xiao. One should know that the person who had lived longest in the Moonlight Sect was just three or four hundred years old.
Thus, it was truly not easy to get materials that were over a hundred-years-old.
“Hahaha, congratulations, Junior Brother Ling! You actually defeated both Li Anle and Yang Cheng and became a quasi-inner disciple in one fell swoop. It simply is a great display of your might!”
Zhao Shi was the first one to come over and congratulate Ling Xiao.
He and Ling Xiao were not walking on the same path, but he had been trying his best to not offend Ling Xiao, which could be considered as a very wise decision now.
“Senior Brother Ling is too awesome. Now, I’ll see if those old outer disciples will still be cocky! Especially that Li Anle! Just yesterday, he was using a whip to beat us!”
“Congratulations, Senior Brother Ling! You are simply a role model for us. You have broken the 100,000-years-old sect’s record!”
In fact, many outer disciples were older than Ling Xiao and had entered the sect at the same time. Therefore, they should normally address Ling Xiao as Junior Brother, but they didn’t dare to now.
Ling Xiao’s strength had frightened them.
Thus, they straightforwardly addressed Ling Xiao as Senior Brother, which was also not beyond the norm. In any case, within the sects, strength had always been respected.
Zhao Ci directly discarded her image and flattered Ling Xiao. This woman’s nature was rather straightforward.
Merely, there was no possibility of Ling Xiao paying attention to her.
Xu Ying was dissatisfied inwardly, “So what if you can defeat Yang Cheng? Your potential is inferior to mine. Even if you look infinitely impressive now, later, you will be inferior to me. Just wait and see!”
She gritted her teeth, turned around, and left.
She would naturally settle her fiancé’s grudges but not now.
Among the new disciples who had entered the Moonlight Sect this time, except for Leng Hao who was directly accepted as a disciple by Golden Light Celestial Worthy, Ling Xiao could be regarded as the first to enter the top-ten of the outer sect.
After becoming a quasi-inner disciple, especially as a top-ten quasi-inner disciple, Ling Xiao received his own cave dwelling.
This was more comfortable than living in the Medicine Hall’s house.
Naturally, the best thing was that these cave dwellings were built in places with abundant spiritual qi. Moreover, they had protective arrays. Not only would you get twice the result with half the effort when in cultivation, but even if someone wanted to scheme against you, it was impossible to put it into action.
In addition, as the tenth-ranked quasi-inner disciple, he would naturally receive a larger salary than other outer disciples.
Ordinary outer disciples only got ten low-grade spirit stones and ten low-grade yellow spirit pills per month.
As a quasi-inner disciple, he got twenty times that!
Moreover, he didn’t need to do heavy labor. He just needed to concentrate on cultivating.
There were also some privileges and responsibilities, which were definitely beyond the imagination of ordinary outer disciples.
This was also why Ling Xiao had challenged Yang Cheng and Li Anle, but someone from the outer sect would naturally help take care of those things. Ling Xiao didn’t need to worry.
Now, all he had to go was go to the Outer Hall to receive the staked ten low-grade yellow pills and the treasure spear.
These were things that had been pledged by Yang Cheng and Li Anle.
Naturally, he also retrieved his thousand-year-old golden snow lotus.
He was not in a hurry to use these things since he still needed to cultivate them in the Landscape World.
Things like medicinal materials were naturally more valuable the older they were because they would possess more spiritual qi and be more beneficial for martial artists.
The low-grade yellow pills sounded not particularly good, but one should know that these kinds of pills were actually much better than the best pills in the secular world.
It could even be said that this was a real pill, and those pills in the secular world were not real at all.
When he returned to the Medicine Hall with Lan Yu’er, Hall Master Old Yang greeted him with a smile.
He was a Hall Master of the Medicine Hall, but he was still very concerned about Ling Xiao.
He had asked Lan Yu’er to immediately inform him of the results.
If Ling Xiao were in danger, he would have immediately rushed over.
“You kid, you are truly good! You actually dealt with those two lads. Good job! But you must not become conceited. The fights below the Transcendent Realm are trivial things. Hereafter, you still have to concentrate on learning alchemy and medicine to become a remarkable alchemist!”
Hall Master Old Yang always felt that it would be a pity if Ling Xiao didn’t learn alchemy and medicine.
“Senior, I won. Aren’t you going to give me some rewards?”
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
“I knew that you would ask. Look, I have already prepared it for you. This thing is easy to use, but don’t waste it.”
