What Should You Call Me?
Farewell to Mei Yong, Xiao Chen returned to Azure Water Peak first.
There's nothing he needs to move here, but he should say hello and let Elder Qi know.
Moreover, it will take several days to build a new yard in the valley.
"Senior brother, you are finally back."
As soon as he opened the door, Su Wanqing next door ran out after hearing the sound.
She seemed to have encountered something happy, and her face was full of excitement.
Xiao Chen was a little curious. "Didn't you go to practice today?"
It was late afternoon, and Xiao Chen was a little curious as to why Su Wanqing was still on the mountain.
Logically speaking, she should be practicing in the sect's training room at this time.
Su Wanqing walked up to Xiao Chen, put his hands on his hips, raised his head and raised his chest. "Brother, look at me, is there anything different about me?"
Huh?
Xiao Chen looked up and down and saw nothing unusual. "What's wrong with you?"
Su Wanqing proudly announced, "After this period of hard training, I have broken through to Qi Refining Ninth Layer."
She turned over her hand and took out a piece of Identity Token: "Dangdangdang, I am now True Disciple."
The identity of True Disciple is not much different from inner disciple in name. As long as you can become a disciple of any Peak Master, you can become True Disciple.
The only problem is that this identity has a quota limit. One Peak Master can have at most three True Disciple.
And once selected, it cannot be changed until the disciple Foundation Establishment, or is over thirty years old.
Previously, Azure Water Peak only had Shen Siyue as True Disciple, and could always receive guidance from Elder Qi.
Now that there is one more Su Wanqing, the competition pressure for the remaining brothers Azure Water Peak has become much greater, and they can only fight for the last spot.
Xiao Chen nodded. "Oh, congratulations."
Su Wanqing was obviously dissatisfied with his reaction. "Brother, it only took me five months to break through to Qi Refining Ninth Layer."
"Besides, I am now True Disciple. According to the sect's regulations, what should you call me?"
I understand, it turned out that I was waiting for him here.
According to <Inner Sect Handbook>, the order of becoming True Disciple is the seniority ranking within the peak.
Therefore, if he has not made a breakthrough yet, as a member of Azure Water Peak, he should call Su Wanqing the second senior sister.
Su Wanqing waved the token in her hand triumphantly. "Brother Xiao, do you want to say hello to senior sister when you see her?"
Xiao Chen smiled slightly, took out the token he had just obtained, and showed it in front of her.
"It seems that you are very knowledgeable about sect etiquette."
"Then let me test you. According to the sect's regulations, what should you call me?"
"Eh!"
Su Wanqing was shocked. She carefully identified the token in Xiao Chen's hand. "Demon Subduing Hall Caretaker, are you already Foundation Establishment?"
Xiao Chen nodded.
Su Wanqing's eyes looked back and forth between the token and Xiao Chen's faces several times.
Finally she looked at him and said hello in a low voice, "Hello, Uncle Master. Congratulations to Uncle Master on his successful breakthrough."
"Why are you so listless? Weren't you in high spirits just now? Please speak louder."
Su Wanqing looked at him with wide eyes, and then finally accepted the reality. "Hello, uncle!"
Xiao Chen commanded with satisfaction, "I happened to be planning to go find your master. Since you are here, you will lead the way."
It wasn't that he meant to tease her, but Elder Qi rarely showed up, and there was no doorman outside her residence.
Originally, I should have gone to Shen Siyue to report it on my behalf.
But since Su Wanqing jumped out, it's useless if you don't use it.
"You actually broke through Foundation Establishment?"
When Elder Qi saw Su Wanqing walking in with Xiao Chen, he rarely had a sullen face, but showed a look of surprise.
There was also a rare fluctuation in his tone. "When did you break through?"
She recalled that she had spent a full five years accumulating Contribution Points for Foundation Establishment, earning Spirit Stone to purchase spirit medicine, and solidifying her foundation.
It took a lot of effort to get an Foundation Establishment pill, but luckily I succeeded in Foundation Establishment the first time.
Even so, every time I think about it, Elder Qi feels that it was a smooth sailing.
Unexpectedly, it only took five months from the breakthrough of Qi Refining Ninth Layer to Xiao Chen in March to complete Foundation Establishment.
In the meantime, there was a time difference of twelve times.
Such a strong contrast caused Elder Qi's stable mentality to change slightly.
Xiao Chen answered truthfully, "I collected all the spiritual objects a few days ago, so I gave it a try, and it happened to work."
"Congratulations to Master Xiao for your successful breakthrough."
Shen Siyue happened to be at Elder Qi's place. Hearing the words, he immediately spoke out to greet him, his beautiful eyes also full of shock.
Xiao Chen actually feels a little close to this senior sister. After all, she did care about him at the beginning. "Thank you very much, and I wish you an early breakthrough."
Su Wanqing Hearing this, he immediately wanted to protest against the different treatment.
She had already asked her before, so why not wish her an early breakthrough.
But she thought about it for a moment and realized that the two of them were no longer peers, so she finally gave up speaking.
In fact, after asking Old Master Su in March, she already knew that Xiao Chen was expected to break through Foundation Establishment soon.
But this day still came much faster than she expected.
It will soon be another year Double Ninth Festival. Originally, she was thinking of inviting Xiao Chen to climb again.
But now that he has become Uncle Xiao, he will probably move out soon, and it seems that it is not suitable to go there anymore.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little lost.
"Have you chosen the location of cave abode? When do you plan to move there? I have a few flowers here, which can be used as multiple decorations in the house."
Elder Qi pointed to a few pots of spiritual flowers not far away. "It's over there. If you like them, you can bring a few pots over there."
When she said these words, Shen Siyue and Su Wanqing were shocked first.
Those spiritual flowers were not allowed to be watered by anyone else. Only the two of them and Elder Qi took care of them themselves.
Su Wanqing also asked Shen Siyue privately.
I learned that those spiritual flowers are actually Second-tier Spirit Medicine that started three hundred years ago, and are precious resources that Elder Qi accumulated over many years.
Each of them is worth at least three hundred Spirit Stone.
Unexpectedly, now he actually said that he would give away a few pots.
Although Xiao Chen is a dabbler in Alchemist, at least he has a solid foundation and recognizes the value of those spiritual flowers.
He is not in short supply of Spirit Stone now, so there is no need to accept such a big gift.
So instead he waved his hand. "Peak Master I appreciate your kindness, but I don't really like these flowers and grasses. If you leave them in my hands, they might be raised to death in a few days."
"As for the location of the new yard, it has been chosen now. Senior Brother Mei said he will be responsible for it and will move there in three days."
"That's right."
Elder Qi paused and gave a strange suggestion. "Both of my apprentices are very good at taking care of spirit flowers. You can send one over to take care of them for you."
Hearing this, Su Wanqing's eyes lit up and he looked at Xiao Chen.
Hiss~!
Xiao Chen took a deep breath.
Wouldn't it be because of the Su Family that after accepting Su Wanqing, you disliked her and didn't want her as an apprentice?
Why do you feel that the purpose of this is not to send flowers, but to send people?
He shook his head and quickly refused. "I think this matter is inappropriate, so let's forget it."
"Okay." Elder Qi nodded, but added an extra sentence, "If you change your mind, you can come to me again."
