Overbearing Senior Sister

Of course, they still needed to discuss carefully how these ten slots should be allocated.

Apart from inner sect disciples, outer sect disciples, and menial disciples, there was another kind of disciple known as a personal disciple, whose status was above that of inner sect disciples.

Disciples of this category were basically disciples of the Sect Master of Yuanji Sect or of elders.

In the Yuanji Sect, people who could be respectfully called elders generally had cultivation at the Spirit Transformation Realm, Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could only be called zhi shi, and the disciples they took could not be called personal disciples.

Among all those who came to test their spiritual roots from the four lineages this time, there was only one person with a single spiritual root, named Zhou Qingxue, with a mutated ice spiritual root and a spiritual root purity of eighty-seven percent.

In previous years, such talent would certainly have been welcomed enthusiastically by the disciples of the Yuanji Sect as if being the stars holding up the moon.

After all, with such talent, a personal disciple slot after entering the Yuanji Sect was guaranteed, but this time, because of the unexpected presence of Xue Fuyao, after seeing the heavenly spiritual root, this eighty-seven-percent mutated ice spiritual root seemed a bit lacking in comparison.

However, Lin Qing still attached great importance to Zhou Qingxue.

Aside from her, the rest were fifteen people with dual spiritual roots, which included the person who tested positive for the water and fire dual spiritual root.

She did not know how she persuaded her household, as they actually agreed to let her leave with the people of the Yuanji Sect.

It was not that the water and fire dual spiritual root could not be cultivated, but cultivation would be extremely difficult, and since water and fire were incompatible, cultivation would also be fraught with danger.

Xue Fuyao's gaze fell upon Zhou Qingxue, for she remembered this person.

In her past life, Zhou Qingxue was very famous in Cloud City, possessing a mutated spiritual root and also being the only disciple of Elder Qinghan of the Yuanji Sect, a renowned genius.

However, this situation did not last very long, because during an outing to gain experience, Zhou Qingxue was bewitched by the Devil Race, fell into the demonic path, and was finally killed by Elder Qinghan's own hands.

Perhaps because he killed his only disciple with his own hands, shortly after returning from the Devil Domain, Elder Qinghan began closed-door cultivation, and until Xue Fuyao died, she never heard news of him leaving seclusion.

While Lin Qing registered the roster, Xue Fuyao also learned the name of the little girl who awakened the water and fire dual spiritual root.

Wang Yan-what a coincidence, this was another ruthless person.

Wang Yan from the previous life was initially a disciple of the Yuanji Sect, but later, for some unknown reason, she actually defected to the Heavenly Sword Sect.

As a household protected by the Yuanji Sect, a disciple emerging from their household actually defecting was a very serious matter, and because of this affair, the Wang Household paid a huge price to keep the Yuanji Sect from venting its anger on the Wang Household.

Of course, Xue Fuyao said she was a ruthless person not only because of this, but also because she was the only person since the founding of the Heavenly Sword Sect to pass the test of Ask the Sword Mountain.

For sword cultivators, Ask the Sword Mountain was the ultimate test. If successful, half a foot would already successfully step into the gateway of Ascension, and the path ahead would also become extremely smooth, but if she failed, the result would be plunging into hell.

However, after Wang Yan passed the test of Ask the Sword Mountain, news about her became very scarce.

"Senior Sister, is it really fine for you not to go help?"

On the bustling street, Gu Nian pulled Xue Fuyao's hand while strolling.

"There's nothing wrong with it. Having Senior Brother Qing and the others take care of the spiritual root testing is enough, and besides, I came out this time specifically to play. Right, is there anything you want? Don't be polite, just say it."

Gu Nian had the bold and generous air of Senior Sister has money, Senior Sister will treat you, leaving Xue Fuyao sweating inwardly at the sight. With this kind of carefree attitude, could she really manage to be the next Sect Master of the Yuanji Sect properly?

Yes, that was right-Gu Nian was not only the disciple of the Sect Master, but also the designated next head of the Yuanji Sect.

In her past life, she had once met Gu Nian, who back then wore a set of red robes but carried a solemn expression, completely different from her appearance at this moment.

"No need, Senior Sister, I have money," Xue Fuyao said with a trace of youthful pride.

She had previously emptied out the entire imperial palace, and although along the way she had distributed a lot of useless furniture, vases, flowerpots, and plants to Shadow One and the others as travel expenses, what remained could still be described as mountains of gold and silver.

Hearing this, Gu Nian widened her eyes and said, "I said I'll treat you, so I'll treat you. As a senior sister, is there any reason to let a junior sister spend money?"

Seeing this, Xue Fuyao still wanted to say something, but upon meeting Gu Nian's forceful gaze, she chose to keep her mouth shut.

"Then thank you first, Senior Sister."

Upon hearing this, Gu Nian revealed a that's more like it expression, then said, "All right, see what you want."

Xue Fuyao nodded and actually began to pick things out seriously.

"Today's market seems much livelier than it was a while ago."

Xue Fuyao could not help but speak as she looked at the bustling crowd on the street and the peddlers hawking their wares on both sides.

Hearing Xue Fuyao's question, Gu Nian thought for a moment and explained that it should be because of the opening of the Rain Dew Secret Realm, and these rogue cultivators should have just come out from inside.

The Rain Dew Secret Realm was a secret realm controlled by the Rogue Cultivator Alliance.

That was right-the Rogue Cultivator Alliance, a force composed of a coalition of rogue cultivators, possessed immense influence and a right to speak among rogue cultivators. Although it was not a sect, it was better than a sect.

In a situation where sects and aristocratic clans controlled the vast majority of cultivation resources and secret realms in the Cultivation Realm, the Rogue Cultivator Alliance emerged abruptly, declaring that all rogue cultivators could enter the secret realm under their name, and without charging any fees.

Among them, the Rain Dew Secret Realm was one such place. This was a secret realm formed after the transformation of an ancient great power who passed away, opening once every ten years. It was said that the inheritance of this great power was hidden inside the secret realm, but no one had discovered it to this day.

"So that's how it is. Then I must pick carefully. What if I can find some good things?"

Hearing Xue Fuyao say this, Gu Nian could not help laughing. "Then Senior Sister preemptively wishes Junior Sister success."

"Just watch, Senior Sister." Having said that, Xue Fuyao actually began to pick things out in earnest.

Though she said that, the Rain Dew Secret Realm had already been explored countless times, and any good things had long since been taken away. How could they possibly appear here? The most these cultivators brought back out from the secret realm were all kinds of spirit medicines and spirit medicine seeds.

"These spirit medicine seeds are good. Junior Sister, you have a wood spiritual root. After entering the sect, the sect will issue you a spirit field where you can plant some spirit medicines and spirit plants. After they mature, you can use them yourself or sell them to Pill Peak or the sect, both of which are quite substantial sources of income."

Hearing this, Xue Fuyao obediently bought quite a few spirit medicine seeds.

Because they were not rare seeds, what she spent was not spirit stones, but gold and silver.
