Senior Sister, Please Help Me Practice

Chapter 69: Meeting Lady Xu Again

Heavenly Evolution Divine Wood Art?

Chu Ming was momentarily stunned, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

If the Heavenly Evolution Inner Scripture is a cultivation technique suitable for all elemental spiritual roots, then the Heavenly Evolution Divine Wood Art is an advanced version of the Heavenly Evolution Inner Scripture, specifically tailored for disciples with wood elemental spiritual roots in the Heavenly Evolution Sect!

It is said that the Foundation Building realm is the foundation for practicing this technique, and one must cultivate the Heavenly Evolution Inner Scripture to Rank Nine in order to grasp its intricacies. The conditions are extremely demanding.

"The wood elemental technique that only inner sect disciples can learn?"

"Yes."

Sacred Pill Elder stroked his beard and nodded, his smile gentle.

"But you're mistaken about one thing. Not all inner sect disciples can learn this technique. It must be exchanged with enough contribution points, and the elders of the sect must also impose restrictions within the body to prevent the technique from leaking out."

"Is it so troublesome?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ming furrowed his brows, while Sacred Pill Elder smiled kindly.

"If you can participate in the Pill Refining Grand Competition during this trip without bringing shame to our Heavenly Evolution Sect, I can apply to let you learn this technique out of turn, and you won't need the imposed restrictions. How about that?"

"..."

Chu Ming pondered for a moment, then raised two fingers and said solemnly,

"In addition to the Heavenly Evolution Divine Wood Art, I also want the qualification to cultivate the Heavenly Evolution Ice Soul Technique."

"Heavenly Evolution Ice Soul Technique?"

Sacred Pill Elder carefully examined Chu Ming, his eyes filled with surprise.

"You have both ice and wood dual spiritual roots?"

"No, no, no..."

Chu Ming quickly shook his head and then informed Sacred Pill Elder about his relationship as a Dao companion with An Muxi.

"Although I believe in my senior sister's own abilities and that she will be able to enter the inner sect to cultivate this technique in the future, I still want to give her this opportunity in advance."

Chu Ming smiled faintly, his expression calm but filled with unwavering determination.

Just like the Heavenly Evolution Divine Wood Art, the Heavenly Evolution Ice Soul Technique is an advanced technique of the Heavenly Evolution Inner Scripture, but it is more suitable for cultivators with ice elemental spiritual roots, which happens to be the case for my senior sister!

Faced with Chu Ming's request, Sacred Pill Elder suddenly became troubled. He stroked his beard and pondered for a long time before giving a bitter smile.

"Deacon Chu, you don't know this, but the Heavenly Evolution Divine Wood Art has always been kept by the inner sect's Sacred Pill Pavilion. Our Sacred Alchemy Hall is just an affiliate, so we can apply for the qualification to cultivate the Heavenly Evolution Divine Wood Art."

"But the Heavenly Evolution Ice Soul Technique has always been kept by the Towering Sword Pavilion... I'm afraid I'm powerless in this matter!"

"How about giving me a discount then?"

Chu Ming seemed to have anticipated that Sacred Pill Elder would find it difficult to agree to his condition, so he quickly lowered his requirements by extending his right hand.

"Half price. Since you mentioned that the technique can be exchanged with contribution points, I hope to waive half of the required contribution points if my senior sister can enter the inner sect in the future."

"Well..."

Sacred Pill Elder tapped his fingers on the table continuously, then hesitated for a moment.

Although he couldn't waive the contribution points, perhaps subsidizing half of them would still meet the requirements?

"Alright."

Seeing Sacred Pill Elder agreeing, Chu Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and a slight smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Senior sister, I've obtained such a great benefit for you. If you don't take good care of me tonight, it won't be fair...

At least let me develop my unused throat a bit, right?

Chu Ming couldn't help but let his mind wander.

In this way, he spent the rest of his time sipping tea and appreciating bamboo with Sacred Pill Elder, while also learning about the information regarding the Pill Refining Grand Competition.

Firstly, the competition would take place in half a month's time, at Hanhai City, an affiliate of the Vast Ocean Alchemy Sect in the Northern Region. The round trip journey would take about half a month if traveling by Spirit Beast. Adding the competition time of another half a month, it wouldn't delay the inner sect competition that would take place more than two months later.

"After you return, I will make sure that the elders of the inner sect pay more attention to you during the inner sect competition."

"Thank you, Lord, for your guidance."

Chu Ming bowed and took a sip of tea before casually asking,

"Lord, you are so knowledgeable and talented. Do you happen to know anything about promoting rapid plant growth?"

"Well..."

Sacred Pill Elder pondered for a moment, then proceeded to talk extensively about various constitutions and their characteristics.

However, none of these corresponded to what Hua Xiaoying had shown, which made Chu Ming furrow his brows and feel a faint sense of disappointment.

Even the Lord of the Sacred Alchemy Hall didn't know what constitution Hua Xiaoying had... How should her speechless illness be treated?

"Are you looking for disciples with constitutions that can promote rapid plant growth to help you with farming?"

Sacred Pill Elder misunderstood Chu Ming's meaning and laughed heartily.

"If you are not satisfied with the constitutions I listed, you can ask the people from the Vast Ocean Alchemy Sect when you participate in the alchemy competition."

"This sect specializes in practicing alchemy and other life-related spells. Maybe they know and are willing to come back with you."

"!?"

Chu Ming looked slightly stunned, then his eyes brightened, and he quickly bowed to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your suggestion."

Perhaps there is information about Hua Xiaoying's constitution in the Vast Ocean Alchemy Sect. I should pay attention to it then.

Chu Ming silently remembered this matter and chatted with the Sacred Pill Elder for a while before taking his leave.

However, he did not leave the Sacred Alchemy Hall. Instead, he exchanged five "Ice Heart Pills" for four thousand contribution points from the person in charge of purchasing pills before happily leaving, planning to go to the northern market to buy some seeds.

However, because he hadn't come for a long time, when he entered the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and saw a familiar figure, Chu Ming suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something...

"Master Chu?!"

Seeing Chu Ming's surprised expression, Xu Wanshu, who was still reconciling accounts behind the counter, suddenly stood up, her eyes shimmering with excitement.

She was wearing a green gauze dress today, with a plump figure, and every move she made exuded a seductive charm.

"It's been a long time. I finally managed to see you, Master!"

"!?"

How could I forget about her!

Chu Ming felt extremely regretful, while Xu Wanshu came to his side with a smile, unabashedly pressing her soft body against him. Her watery eyes were filled with astonishing charm.

"Perhaps this is fate, allowing us to meet again..."

She really knows how to add drama to the situation!

Chu Ming sighed lightly, about to say something, but Xu Wanshu unexpectedly created some distance between them, which surprised him.

?

At this moment, a greasy and obese man walked out from the back room of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, followed by a large group of servants.

He glanced up and down at Chu Ming with his small eyes, then shifted his gaze to Xu Wanshu.

"Wife, who is this person?"

Wife?

Chu Ming was suddenly shocked.

Is he the head of the Xu family?

"Chu Ming, an outer disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Sect."

Xu Wanshu introduced calmly, her tone completely different from her previous coquettishness, which made Chu Ming's thoughts become more agile.

It seems that this couple's relationship is not very harmonious...
