Chapter 22: One person has three cultivations? ! Unheard of? !

The other elders left after giving their gifts.

They heard that several elders who were out traveling hadn’t returned yet.

The Law Enforcement Elder gritted his teeth and said to Ning Yue, “Don’t worry; I’ll definitely get their gifts for you; you won’t miss out.”

Ning Yue was very moved. “Master, you’re so kind!!!”

The Law Enforcement Elder proudly raised his head. “Come, let me introduce you to your senior brother.”

“Senior brother…” Ning Yue curiously asked, “Does Master only have one disciple?”

“Mm, now that you’ve joined, there are two.”

He flew on his sword, taking Ning Yue to his mountaintop, pointing to the vast land.

“What do you think? This is our master-disciple trio’s territory!”

Ning Yue: “Wowso big!”

“Good disciple!”

The Law Enforcement Elder took Ning Yue for a stroll around the mountaintop, pointing out the buildings and explaining them to her.

“This is my residence.”

He pointed. “This is yours, and that’s your senior brother’s.”

“Perfect.” He stroked his long beard and looked at the building next door. “Your senior brother is in the courtyard.”

Ning Yue followed her master like a chick into her senior brother’s courtyard.

She was wondering what her senior brother was like.

She saw two young men in the sect’s white robes with blue sashes standing in the courtyard.

The two seemed to be talking; the wind blew their hair and sleeves.

The young man sensed someone’s presence, turned sideways, revealing a familiar and handsome face.

Ning Yue almost exclaimed, “…Brother!?”

Shi Yinghan smiled and nodded at her. “I’ve been waiting for you.”

The Law Enforcement Elder stroked his chin. “What? You two know each other?”

Shi Yinghan smiled and nodded, walking to Ning Yue’s side.

“Mm, we met at the foot of the mountain before and talked for a while.”

The young man who had been standing with Shi Yinghan also came over, wearing the same white robes with blue sashes and gold embroidery on the sleeves and collar.

He was also a direct disciple.

Unlike Shi Yinghan, he had a cold expression when he wasn’t smiling; he nodded slightly to Ning Yue.

The Law Enforcement Elder: “You probably don’t know this one. He’s a direct disciple of the Artifact Refinement path; your senior brother Gong Zhi.”

“…Senior Brother Gong Zhi,” Ning Yue tilted her head.

She felt like she had heard that name somewhere.

The Law Enforcement Elder put his arm around Ning Yue. “This is your junior sister Ning Yue; she just came up the mountain today.”

His gaze shifted to Ning Yue’s face; his handsome brows furrowed slightly.

“…Ning Yue… junior sister?”

Gong Zhi felt like he had heard that name somewhere. He was known for his amazing memory and carefully observed Ning Yue’s face.

In a flash

Both of them widened their eyes and said in unison!

“The senior brother from the end of the formation trial?!”

“The new disciple of the Formation path this year?!”

Shi Yinghan was puzzled and looked at the two of them. “…You two… know each other?”

Upon hearing this, the Law Enforcement Elder jumped up, pulling Ning Yue behind him and waving at Gong Zhi.

“Go, go, go. What new disciple of the Formation path? Ning Yue is clearly my newly accepted direct disciple!”

Gong Zhi looked at Ning Yue questioningly, then at the Law Enforcement Elder. “…What’s going on?”

Ning Yue: “Haha… I accidentally passed both trials, so they assigned me here to the sword cultivators.”

Gong Zhi: “…”

Shi Yinghan: “…”

As everyone knows, everyone can only choose one path to cultivate.

Gong Zhi silently looked at Shi Yinghan, then at Ning Yue.

Sure enough, these two direct disciples of the sword cultivation path weren’t ordinary people.

Ning Yue was completely unaware. “Actually, I also passed the alchemy trial.”

A bombshell!

The expression on Gong Zhi’s usually calm face cracked.

He stared at Ning Yue in shock, unable to speak for a moment.

He stiffly turned to look at Shi Yinghan.

Shi Yinghan’s expression was calm and unmoved; he stood there as if he had a high tolerance for this news.

Gong Zhi: “…”

Cultivating three paths simultaneouslyunheard of!  This isn’t shocking?!

Fine, I know you sword cultivators are all monsters!

Especially the Law Enforcement Elder’s two direct disciples.

Gong Zhi took off the pouch from his waist and gave it to Ning Yue.

“A small gift from your senior brother. Farewell.”

Then he walked straight out.

Ning Yue looked at his back questioningly. “Did you finish talking to brother?”

Gong Zhi left without seeming to hear her.

Ning Yue turned to Shi Yinghan, whose expression was calm and composed.

“Senior Brother Gong Zhi left already? Weren’t you two talking just now?”

Shi Yinghan smiled. “Mm.”

Ning Yue worried, “Didn’t I interrupt you?”

Shi Yinghan: “Mm.”

Ning Yue: “…”

She tentatively looked at Shi Yinghan’s expression, unsure.

“…Brother, who am I?”

Shi Yinghan: “Mm.”

Ning Yue: …

Okay, confirmed; he didn’t hear a word she said.

Ning Yue tugged at the Law Enforcement Elder’s robe. “Master, what’s wrong with senior brother?”

The Law Enforcement Elder wasn’t surprised; he found Shi Yinghan’s expression amusing and stroked his beard.

“…Do you think what you said had little impact?”

Ning Yue hesitated. “…Oh, I thought it was normal; everyone can learn many things.”

Even the Law Enforcement Elder, who already knew about Ning Yue’s terrifying talent, couldn’t help but twitch his forehead.

“…Forget it, go rest. I’ll take care of your senior brother.”

…

Ning Yue returned to her courtyard.

The courtyard seemed to be decorated by the Law Enforcement Elder and Shi Yinghan…

It was filled with girlishness from top to bottom.

Everything in the courtyard and room was a delicate pink.

Ning Yue: “…”

Actually, she’s in her twenties.

She’s past the age of having girlish tastes.

But Ning Yue was still very touched; it must have been difficult to find so many pink items.

She picked up the pouch Gong Zhi had given her.

Pink.

Ning Yue chuckled.

Inside the pouch was an exquisite petal-shaped hairpin; the craftsmanship looked intricate, but it was indeed beautiful.

Of course, it was also pink.

Ning Yue guessed it wasn’t an ordinary hairpin.

Gong Zhi was an artifact refiner

This purely ornamental hairpin was probably some kind of protective artifact.

Ning Yue fastened the hairpin to her hair and began to admire her new home.

There was also a medicinal field in the courtyard; Ning Yue had seen many of the spirit plants in the trial grounds.

A row of alchemy furnaces of various types was placed in the side yard.

She heard that spirit plants and alchemy furnaces in the cultivation world were very expensive.

Ning Yue secretly marveled; it truly was the richest sect that maintained its status through money.

Suddenly

Ning Yue suddenly felt a sharp pain in her consciousness.

The pain came without warning; it was so intense she couldn’t speak, let alone call for help.

Ning Yue subconsciously tried to summon Xiaohua.

Although she didn’t know what was wrong with her body, maybe Xiaohua knew something.

Ning Yue suddenly froze; her strength disappeared along with her consciousness.

Wait, this wouldn’t be…

The aftereffects of spiritual root damage!
