Chapter 109: Chen Baiqing's Daily Life of Sect Immortal Cultivation
Early morning.
Chen Baiqing, who had cultivated all night, calmed the spiritual power within her body and slowly opened her eyes.
She did not learn from her senior sister to sleep at night; Chen Baiqing spent her sleeping time cultivating, and during the day, she read books to replenish her general knowledge.
That thick book of general knowledge on immortal cultivation belonging to Senior Sister had also been given to her to read a few days ago.
The sect currently had three disciples, and she possessed the worst aptitude, so she felt a sense of urgency.
Her own talent and intelligence were inferior to her senior sister's; Senior Sister could sleep while cultivating immortally.
With her average aptitude, being a disciple brought back solely due to her master's kindness, she naturally could not be so lazy.
If she did not work hard, how could she keep up with everyone's pace?
At this moment, her cultivation base was also at the ninth level of Qi Refining; with a bit more practice, she estimated she would be ready to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The sky was slightly bright. Chen Baiqing, having tidied up, hugged that thick book and prepared to go to the water pool to continue reading.
Although this book was a bit dry and boring, the knowledge inside was genuine.
When Master needed this knowledge, she would be able to help Master.
Chen Baiqing placed the book on the stone table, then took out some candied fruits wrapped in cloth from her bosom.
She picked one up and put it in her mouth, feeling the sweetness, and turned her gaze toward the book.
Everyone had been very busy recently; Senior Sister was busy making a disciple recruitment plan, and Master was planning pill refining.
Everyone rarely spoke to her anymore.
However, there were still occasional interactions.
For example, when Master encountered a bottleneck and revealed an expression doubting life, he would mutter to himself:
"Impossible... How could it be like this? I clearly followed what the book taught, so why did it still go awry?"
Master usually said such things while throwing stones beside the pool water.
At this moment, Chen Baiqing would put down the book in her hands and silently sit beside her master.
At this time, Master would use his two large hands to rub her neatly combed hair into a mess.
He also liked to pinch her small face.
If it was Master and Senior Sister, Chen Baiqing was relatively willing; if it was Second Senior Brother, she would not be angry, but she did not exactly like it either.
After all, Second Senior Brother had relatively little contact with her.
As for others, do not even think about it.
When Master finished rubbing, Chen Baiqing would take out the best candied fruit she had specially picked from her bosom and hand it to Master, while cheering Master on:
"Master is the best, you definitely can do it."
She did not understand pill refining, but she understood Master a little.
Master would often take the candied fruit, eat it in one bite, and smile:
"Thank you for the encouragement, Baiqing. Master will definitely refine a medicinal pill that your senior sister can accept."
Chen Baiqing mostly did not answer at this time, but smiled and nodded.
There was no other reason.
These days, she had more or less understood the situation of Master's pill refining.
After all, every time Master stepped out of the room full of confidence, he would look for Senior Sister to taste the newly refined medicinal pills.
At first, Senior Sister could still endure it, gritting her teeth to eat it, and not long after, the medicinal power would be dispelled by Master.
But later, when Master could not grasp the essentials for a long time and began to take unconventional risks, Senior Sister finally could not bear it one day and decisively scolded Master for not treating Senior Sister as a human.
Regarding this, Chen Baiqing could also understand Senior Sister.
After all, on that day, Senior Sister's wailing resounded through the sect...
Given that Master himself knew he was in the wrong, he did not call Senior Sister to taste the medicine again.
But the medicine ultimately had to be eaten by someone to have feedback; Chen Baiqing pondered for a long time and also summoned the courage to actively find Master and say she was willing to taste the medicinal pills for Master.
However, Master neither agreed nor refused, but simply looked as if he suddenly remembered something.
The next day, Chen Baiqing knew what Master had remembered.
The little monk from Chanlin Temple—Yuan Kong had arrived.
It was just a pity that this little monk's endurance was not strong at all.
After just one medicinal pill, he was rolling and crawling, wanting to go home with a face full of tear stains.
Master merely asked Senior Sister to take out the contract regarding this, then placed it in front of the little monk, and asked with a gentle face:
"Do you really want to leave?!"
The little monk looked at the contract and still complied, but Master was still relatively gentle. He only fed him two pills a day.
A smile, unseen for a long time, also reappeared on the face of Senior Sister, who did not need to eat medicinal pills.
After Master had Yuan Kong, his train of thought for pill refining also became bold; from time to time, he would reveal an expression suggesting he had an excellent idea.
If Senior Sister and Master were happy, then Chen Baiqing would also feel happy.
It was just that every time Yuan Kong came, he would put his palms together and pray for a while before revealing a posture of not wanting to live, picking up the medicinal pill refined by her master with a calm expression.
After eating, he would roll around on the spot...
After Chen Baiqing watched a few times, she lost interest.
As time passed, the people coming to the sect gradually became frequent and numerous.
The person who came from the Demon Suppression Division was Zhao Wanqing, saying that the publicity had already been fully rolled out and suggesting that her master make good preparations.
The Abbot of Chanlin Temple also sent a letter, saying the publicity effect was good and telling Master to be at ease.
Senior Sister began to thoroughly implement the content of the trial. With Master's help, she set up a large illusion formation.
As well as some strange and odd things that Chen Baiqing did not quite understand.
During this period, Master also spent quite a few spirit stones and silver, letting Senior Sister set up the trial she wanted to build.
Senior Sister was full of confidence this time, expressing that she would definitely make her master look at her with new eyes.
Master, busy innovating medicinal pills, merely smiled disdainfully in the face of these remarks.
However, the planning book made by Senior Sister was still very deterring. The stacked thickness was quite significant. It could be seen that Senior Sister was very serious.
It was just that Chen Baiqing always felt... Senior Sister was definitely thinking of tossing about something not quite right. This was out of her understanding of Senior Sister.
The overall situation could be considered orderly, and everyone was quite happy.
It was just that recently, that little monk looked as if he was about to comprehend the true meaning of Buddhism. He could already eat her master's medicinal pills without changing his expression or rolling around.
Yuan Kong's expression was very calm after eating the medicinal pill, only his body would tremble uncontrollably.
Every time Master saw Yuan Kong with such a calm expression, he would think he had succeeded. But as soon as Yuan Kong opened his mouth, Master knew he had failed again.
He said: "I do not want to live anymore; I want to meet my Buddha."
Master merely patted his shoulder in consolation regarding this, then handed him a candy...
Yuan Kong would also take the candy every time and then eat it.
As the time was thoroughly set, Master also temporarily threw pill refining to the back of his mind.
She also heard that Chanlin Temple was ready over there and planned to reshape Yuan Kong's root bone, so Yuan Kong did not come during this period.
Master's great cause of pill refining also stopped halfway. Only when a flash of inspiration occasionally appeared would he specially refine one, waiting to feed it to Yuan Kong when he returned.
Over these days, quite a few had been saved up. Chen Baiqing would worry for that monk a bit whenever she looked at them.
As the time for the grand ceremony approached closer and closer, Chen Baiqing also broke through to Foundation Establishment during this period, and Master handed her a... somewhat strange divine ability.
In addition, Senior Sister, who was really short of hands when it was about to start, also sought her out. She hoped she would also take on some simple duties.
Chen Baiqing agreed to this crisply. She was still very willing to make a contribution to her sect.
However, when the time for the grand ceremony was about to arrive, the number of gathered people far exceeded Chen Baiqing's estimation...
When Chen Baiqing stood at the sect entrance and looked down, all she saw was a swarming crowd of people.
Senior Sister, our trial formation definitely cannot stuff in this many people!
