Chapter 37
Do You Still Need to Ask?
When Dong Xi arrived, Ke Xin had already been waiting for a long time. When she saw Ke Xin, she felt a little embarrassed. They had made an appointment, but she was late.
When Ke Xin saw Dong Xi, she hurriedly went up to her. She had been hearing rumors about Dong Xi all this time. Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi with a serious expression and asked seriously, “What’s going on? Dong Xi, what’s your current cultivation level?”
Dong Xi did not know what to say. If she told the truth, it might cause unnecessary trouble. After all, they had all entered the sect together. She was now at the second level of the Qi Refinement stage. If Ke Xin found out, would she be sad?
In order to prevent Ke Xin from becoming another introvert in the sect, Dong Xi decided not to tell her the truth. She answered vaguely. “You already know my aptitude, so do you even need to ask what my cultivation level is?”
Ke Xin frowned when she heard this. She understood Dong Xi’s feelings. After all, if she had the same aptitude, she would probably be like this too. However, being like this was not a good thing. She needed to rest properly. She could not just focus on cultivation. It was very easy for her to go berserk.
Ke Xin consoled her, “Sister, listen to my advice. With this kind of talent, it’s useless to just cultivate in seclusion. Perhaps that’s the final level of cultivation. You’d better think of a way to enter the inner sect,”
Little did Ke Xin know that her sister was not a useless piece of trash. Ke Xin was slightly older than Dong Xi and had always felt that her younger sister was a bit timid, so she would always think for Dong Xi. In the world of cultivation, being older by a few years did not mean much, and two years was not even worth mentioning.
Furthermore, Dong Xi was 18 years old before she transmigrated here. Therefore, Dong Xi could understand Ke Xin’s good intentions. Ke Xin had truly treated her as a sister. Otherwise, she would not have said such things. After all, everyone wanted to enter the inner sect, but they could only reach such a high level in the outer sect. There were limited resources.
Dong Xi frowned and sighed. “I want to go to the inner sect too, but my aptitude is just here. It’s not enough.”
The inner sect’s benefits were quite good. It was said that they received 100 spirit stones per month, which was ten times more than the outer sect’s. The difference was too great. In other words, a whole year of benefits for the outer sect disciples was only comparable to one month of benefits for the inner sect’s disciples.
When Ke Xin heard Dong Xi’s words, she immediately told Dong Xi everything she had heard recently. “Sister, don’t think that way. It might not have been possible in the past, but there’s a chance now.”
Dong Xi’s eyes lit up when she heard this. If she could enter the inner sect, her cultivation base would definitely improve greatly with the help of the inner sect’s cultivation resources. Perhaps one of the elders would be happy and reward her with some rare treasures to change her aptitude. At that time, she would not have to worry about Dong Rourou anymore.
“Chance? What chance?”
When Ke Xin heard Dong Xi’s urgent question, she became very proud. Ever since she had obtained the jade slip, she had been able to find out everything about the sect. She even knew a lot of secrets, but it was not convenient for her to say them out loud.
Now that she saw how hard Dong Xi was working, Ke Xin naturally would not hide the news and said it directly. “I’ve already asked around. It’s about Lingxu, the Peak Master of the Lingxu Peak. He said that he wants to take in a closed-door disciple.”
When Dong Xi heard this, she was stunned. She carefully recalled who this Master Lingxu was. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that this Master Lingxu seemed to be the master of the Eldest Senior Brother. When the time came, he would take the female lead, Dong Rourou, as his disciple. During this period of time, there was no such thing as Master Lingxu taking in a closed-door disciple.
Could it be that her transmigration had caused a butterfly effect? The plot of the entire book had changed?
However, even if there’s a change, Dong Xi still did not think that her aptitude was enough to catch Master Lingxu’s eye, let alone become his closed-door disciple.
Dong Xi said to Ke Xin with a hint of disappointment in her eyes, “I’m afraid I don’t have the qualifications.”
Although cultivation was indeed fast under the moonlight, the speed during the day was even slower than a snail. Other people would recover even as they were fighting, but when Dong Xi’s spiritual Qi was used up… Well, she was finished. It was impossible for her to recover as fast as compared to others.
If she lost a fight, she could not possibly tell her opponents that her master was Master Lingxu, and therefore they could not kill her, alright?
What a joke, the Xianxia world was ruthless and did not care about human feelings. Even Master Lingxu could not afford to lose face like that, right?
