Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

161 Acknowledge Me as Your Master

Dong Xi didn’t expect that after he left, there would be a commotion at the sword testing array. Dong Xi followed Master Yijian for a long time before finally arriving at his cave.

Dong Xi stopped at the door, and the restriction opened by itself.

Yijian immortal’s voice came from inside. He said, “Come in.”

Dong Xi immediately walked in. Compared to his master, Daoist Yijian’s cave abode was much simpler.

There were only two futons and a stone table in Daoist Yijian’s cave. There wasn’t even a stone bed.

!!

Dong Xi secretly noted this down. She was not the only one in the entire Ningtian Sect who cultivated without sleeping. She absolutely could not think that she was ahead of others because of this. She had to continue to work hard!

Daoist Yijian was sitting on a futon, and a cup of tea was placed on the stone table.

Upon seeing Dong Xi enter, Daoist Yijian said, “Acknowledge me as your master!”

Dong Xi was stunned for a moment. Dong Xi said, “You want me to acknowledge you as my master now?”

Daoist Yijian’s eyes widened as he asked sternly, “What’s wrong? Am I not qualified to be your master?”

“You’re qualified, definitely qualified!” Dong Xi immediately shook her head.

Dong Xi stepped forward and took the cup of tea. She respectfully bowed and said, “Disciple greets Master!”

Perfected Yijian took the tea and took a few sips, his heart finally relaxing.

There were no other accidents.

“Dong Xi, have you comprehended the Sword Dao?” Daoist Yijian asked curiously.

When Dong Xi had struck out with her sword earlier, it had been very clear. Although Dong Xi’s current cultivation was low, her flat stab had clearly borrowed the power of heaven and earth.

Dong Xi scratched her head when she heard Daoist Yijian’s words. She was not too sure either.

“I was in Fotai City for half a year,” Dong Xi said. “I seemed to have comprehended something, but it didn’t seem to be of much use.”

“Pfft, pfft.”

The moment Daoist Yijian took a sip of the tea, he immediately spat it out. He said, “…What are you saying? Half a year of Enlightenment?”

“That’s right, it was a half year of Enlightenment!” Dong Xi nodded.

Daoist Yijian was silent. This girl had only entered the sect for a year, but she had already been in Enlightenment for half a year?

It was common knowledge that the longer the period of Enlightenment, the better it was. However, young people were generally inexperienced. It was normal for them to be Enlightened for a few days. They were considered geniuses if they were Enlightened for a month.

However, the most important thing was that Dong Xi was still able to reach the fifth level of the Qi Refinement stage even after half a year of Enlightenment!

It was strange, very strange!

Chi Yan was already a heavenly spirit root, and cultivation was as simple as breathing. It had not been long since he had broken through the fourth level of Qi Refinement.

This girl must have some secret!

Daoist Yijian pondered for a moment, then took out a jade pendant and handed it to Dong Xi. Daoist Yijian said, “Today’s apprenticeship was too sudden. As a sword cultivator, I don’t have any treasures. This jade pendant was given to me by my Master years ago. It can hide one’s cultivation level, and no one under the Soul Formation stage can see through it.”

After saying that, he looked at Dong Xi, who was wearing it and said, “You don’t need to wear that.”

Dong Xi put away the jade pendant and immediately took out two porcelain bottles of top-grade Spirit Restore Pills and gave them to Daoist Yijian.

“I hope Master will kindly accept it. This is disciple’s gift for you,” said Dong Xi.

Daoist Yijian took the porcelain bottle and examined it. Then, he said with a smile, “This is really . This is the first time I’ve taken in an alchemist as my disciple!”

Master Yijian’s other disciples were extremely poor. They only thought about the things Yijian had on him every day.

Dong Xi smiled shyly.

Dong Xi knew that he had to first build a good relationship with his master so that he could teach him all the things he had hidden.

At that time, even if Dong Rourou entered the Dao through martial arts, Dong Xi would still have the power to fight back.

Although sword cultivators were very poor, no matter how poor Master Yijian was, he could still afford two porcelain vases of top-grade Spirit Restore Pills.

However, Dong Xi’s actions still made Yijian feel very good. It was as if he could finally see money coming back after so many years of investment.

“You’re very good at basic swordsmanship. How long have you been practicing?” Yijian immortal asked.

“It’s been almost a year,” answered Dong Xi honestly.

Master Yijian was a sword fanatic, so he knew that it took a long time to master the basic sword techniques.

Dong Xi had just entered the sect, which meant that he spent most of her time on sword practice.

However, before today, Dong Xi was still a disciple of the Alchemy Sect, right?

The Alchemy Sect’s disciples were practicing their swordsmanship every day. Why didn’t that old man Lingxu chase her out earlier?

Perfected Yijian felt that it was a pity, but it was not too late for the little girl to join the Sword Sect. He took out a sword manual from his storage jade pendant and said, “I can see that your sword Dao has the ability to borrow the power of heaven and earth. Take a look at this ‘Piercing Rain and Breaking Clouds’ sword technique. Perhaps you can gain some Enlightenment!
