“Sister will calculate it for you.”
Lü Qingyan smiled and said, “The price of a low-grade Qi Refinement realm spiritual herb is 10 low-grade spirit stones. The price of a medium-grade Qi Refinement realm spiritual herb is 20 low-grade spirit stones.”
“Every increase in grade will double the price of the herb.”
“So, all the spiritual herbs here add up to a total of 39,240 low-grade spirit stones. I’ll give you a little more discount on account of you being first.”
“I’ll buy them all for 40,000 low-grade spirit stones.”
“How is it?”
“Thank you, Sister.” Qi Ming said happily.
Thus…
Qi Ming sold all the spiritual herbs he obtained from the Heavenly Chief Mystic Realm and obtained 40,000 low-grade spirit stones. In addition, the reward was 16,000 low-grade spirit stones.
This way…
The number of spirit stones in Qi Ming’s hand had already reached 56,000.
One had to know, Qi Ming still had a lot of inferior-grade storage bags, various Qi Refinement realm talisman treasures and spells in his possession. He could find an opportunity to sell these miscellaneous items and obtain a considerable amount of spirit stones.
Therefore, Qi Ming was very satisfied with this Outer Sect Assessment.
Swish!
Elder Feng took a step forward and stood beside Qi Ming. He reached out and placed his hand on Qi Ming’s shoulder, “Alright, Qi Ming, follow me.”
“Wait.”
Swish! Swish!
Su Zixu and Elder Wu blocked their way, “Qi Ming hasn’t said who he wants to acknowledge as his master.”
Su Zixu said bluntly, “Qi Ming, as long as you acknowledge me as your master, I will personally apply to the sect to give you an independent cave abode. There are also fixed cultivation resources every month.”
“Because you’re still at the Qi Refinement realm, I’ll only give you 10,000 low-grade spirit stones per month for the time being. Coupled with the supplementary effects of various medicinal pills and a legacy cultivation method that’s suitable for you.”
“As long as you advance to the Foundation Establishment realm, your cultivation resources will increase by ten times. Moreover, if you can meet my requirements, the resources you can obtain will only be more.”
“Su Zixu, you…”
Elder Wu was stunned as he looked at Su Zixu in surprise. He did not expect Su Zixu to be willing to pay so much.
To Elder Wu and the others, although these resources did not sound like much, Su Zixu had to personally apply to the sect. If Qi Ming did not perform well, Su Zixu had to make up for the resources expended on him.
Moreover, this was a huge amount of resources over a long period of time, not just once or twice.
In fact, Elder Wu had been promoted step by step from a servant disciple. Now, he had already surpassed the Nascent Soul realm, but he was a little tight on funds and could not compare to the other legacy elders.
Honestly, Elder Wu really could not bear to take out these resources. Even if he applied to the sect, the sect might not approve.
Thinking of this, Elder Wu wanted to give up.
“Cough cough…” Elder Wu coughed lightly. He still wanted to give it a try and said, “Qi Ming, your talent is indeed very suitable for being a Beast Tamer. Although I can’t give you too many resources, I can personally guide you. I definitely won’t let you take too many detours.”
“Thank you, Elder Wu.”
Qi Ming cupped his hands and bowed. In fact, he had already declined.
“Forget it…”
Elder Wu shook his head and flicked his sleeve before leaving. He transformed into a stream of light that tore through the sky and vanished into the distance in the blink of an eye.
Clearly, Elder Wu did not want to stay any longer.
“Goodbye, legacy elder.”
In the surroundings, everyone bowed.
Xu Ye, Lu Haisheng, and the others watched as Elder Wu left. They also wanted to be selected by the legacy elder. They could even give up their resources for the opportunity.
Unfortunately…
From the beginning to the end, Elder Wu did not look at them directly.
He looked down on them.
“Elder Feng, what do you think?” Qi Ming looked at Elder Feng eagerly.
Elder Feng was a little angry and laughed. He said, “Kid, as expected, you would not agree until you see the benefits. Forget it, I’ll personally apply to the sect.”
“I guarantee that you will obtain more resources than what Elder Su promised.”
“Don’t worry.”
“Thank you, Master.”
Qi Ming bowed to Elder Feng.
“Hahaha…”
Elder Feng laughed smugly. He glanced at Su Zixu from the corner of his eye as if he was saying, ‘Old fellow, you still want to snatch my disciple? Screw off.’
“It seems that we are not fated to be master and disciple.” Su Zixu said indifferently.
“Thank you for your kindness, Elder Su.”
Qi Ming bowed.
“Let’s go.”
Su Zixu and Qing Lan did not say anything else and left together.
Next, the Outer Sect Assessment ended.
The 78 servant disciples officially became outer sect disciples.
The twelve inner sect elders personally distributed the outer sect disciple robes and outer sect disciple tokens to them. Then, the twelve servant quarters’ elders brought them back to the various peaks.
Xu Ye, Lu Haisheng, and Xiao Fan.
They had all been selected by the inner sect elders and were taken in as disciples to become inner sect elders’ disciples. Their statuses were different and they entered the inner sect in one step.
Although it was far inferior to Qi Ming, it was still not bad.
Among them, Xu Ye took a master from the inner sect elder of the Numinous Sky Peak, Miao Yilong. Lu Haisheng took a master from the inner sect elder of the Martial Illumination Peak, Zhang Gande. Xiao Fan took a master from the Green Cloud Peak’s inner sect elder, Lü Qingyan.
“Greetings, Master.” Xiao Fan bowed to Lü Qingyan respectfully.
In addition…
The ‘old grandpa’ in the ring did not dare to show himself easily, in case the Essence Soul fluctuation of the voice transmission would be sensed by the legacy elder.
Lü Qingyan nodded slightly and instructed, “Xiao Fan, quickly come over and pay your respects to Grandmaster and Uncle-Master.”
“Ah?!” Xiao Fan was dumbfounded. He looked at Lü Qingyan in shock, “Grandmaster and Uncle-Master?”
“Although I’m only Elder Feng’s registered disciple, Junior Brother Qi has just entered my master’s tutelage. He’s naturally my junior brother. Therefore, Elder Feng is your grandmaster, and Junior Brother Qi is your Uncle-Master.”
Lü Qingyan said matter-of-factly, “Is there a problem?”
“What… I…”
Xiao Fan did not know how to answer.
Honestly, Xiao Fan was not unwilling to call Elder Feng Grandmaster at all. Instead, he was very willing. It could even be said that he was out of his league. However, he found it hard to accept Qi Ming as his Uncle-Master.
One had to know, Xiao Fan and Qi Ming were similar in age. Just now, they were only senior brothers. Now, Qi Ming’s seniority had directly increased, so he became Xiao Fan’s Uncle-Master.
“Greetings, Grandmaster.”
Xiao Fan took a deep breath. Although he was helpless, he could only accept it. He stood up and bowed respectfully to Elder Feng.
“Good.” Elder Feng only replied indifferently and did not pay much attention to it.
“Greetings, Uncle-Master Qi.” Xiao Fan bowed to Qi Ming again.
“Hahaha…”
Qi Ming directly laughed, “I’m a little unaccustomed to having such an old Disciple-Nephew like you all of a sudden. Disciple-Nephew Xiao, why don’t you say a few more words and let me get used to it?”
Xiao Fan opened his mouth and immediately felt that Uncle-Master Qi was too sarcastic. However, with his seniority, he did not dare to be rash. “Disciple-Nephew greets Uncle-Master Qi.”
“Good, good.”
Qi Ming patted Xiao Fan on the shoulder, “Disciple-Nephew Xiao, I think very highly of you. You have to work hard. Oh right, where did you get this ring from? It looks very unique! Can I take a look?”
“Uncle-Master Qi.”
Xiao Fan quietly hid the ring and said, “This is left by my mother.”
“Forget it.” Qi Ming shrugged.
Elder Feng said, “Alright, don’t chat anymore. Prepare yourself. Qi Ming will leave with me and register your identity as a legacy disciple in the sect. Then, I’ll apply for cultivation resources and an independent cave abode for you.”
“Thank you, Master..” Qi Ming said happily.
