Early the next morning, disciples from each peak participating in the alchemy competition headed to Spirit Pill Peak with a servant.
Xu Ning was accompanied by Dang Xueqing, carrying her alchemy materials.
Upon arriving at the alchemy hall of Spirit Pill Peak, An Lanxin also arrived with a servant.
The mont An Lanxin saw Xu Ning, she thought to herself, This ti it's a sure thing, and gave Xu Ning a look only the two of them could understand.
Dang Xueqing couldn't help but glance at Xu Ning beside her, inwardly sneering.
The alchemy quickly began. Xu Ning directly tossed the spiritual herbs An Lanxin had brought into Dang Xueqing's materials, then gave An Lanxin a confident look.
An Lanxin smiled at this.
However, when Xu Ning handed the materials to Dang Xueqing, she was dumbfounded. She couldn't tell which was the real one.
Seeing her expression, Xu Ning was speechless. This was supposed to be an alchemist?! This was dood!
After thinking it over, Xu Ning decided against it. If the other party embarrassed themselves this ti, they would definitely bla him, and things would get difficult from then on.
Finding an opportunity, Xu Ning quietly reminded Dang Xueqing.
Dang Xueqing couldn't help but glance at Xu Ning again, replying, "You know alchemy?"
Xu Ning said, "Senior Sister, I don't. I only know so knowledge of spiritual herbs!"
Dang Xueqing nodded as if she understood, not dwelling on it further.
After the alchemy competition began, each disciple began to display their unique skills.
The result was that both An Lanxin and Dang Xueqing failed.
Xu Ning was speechless. He had thought the two were incredibly cunning and skilled in alchemy! Turns out they were both so bad!
Staring at the exploded alchemy furnace, Dang Xueqing remained stunned for a long ti. She then abruptly stood up and confronted Xu Ning, demanding, "Was it you who switched my alchemy materials, causing my failure this ti? You traitor, I'll kill you!"
Xu Ning said, "That's right! It was ! Ever since I followed you, you've treated cruelly in every way. I didn't want to follow you anymore. I wanted to follow Senior Sister An Lanxin!"
An Lanxin, standing beside her, couldn't help but gloat. "Hahaha, Junior Sister, how does it feel to be betrayed? If I can't succeed, neither can you!"
Xu Ning was speechless. These two weaklings, even without this incident, they wouldn't have succeeded!
Dang Xueqing's face imdiately darkened. She glared at Xu Ning and roared, "I'll kill you!"
With that, she stood up and walked towards Xu Ning, poised to attack.
Xu Ning was terrified and retreated repeatedly, his face deathly pale.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Just then, An Lanxin suddenly stepped between the two, looking at Dang Xueqing and saying, "Junior sister, why get so angry! Bai Xiu is still my man. You can't kill him!"
Dang Xueqing gritted her teeth in anger. "You just wait!"
After saying that, she turned and left.
Xu Ning was speechless again. Big sister! Just a little longer! It's easy for them to see through this.
He was really fed up with these two junior sisters. They were typical of being both incompetent and playful. They couldn't even handle scheming, and they were terrible at alchemy. They weren't serious about cultivation either.
If they were his disciples, he would beat them up!
Back at Flowing Cloud Peak, An Lanxin was worried about Xu Ning's safety and specially asked him to move in next to her.
Xu Ning naturally couldn't refuse and obediently moved in.
From that day on, An Lanxin would take Xu Ning with her every ti she went out, gaining her deep trust.
Another year passed in a flash, and Xu Ning's cultivation level was revealed to be at the fourth level of Qi Refining.
In a few days, it would be the day Peak Master Gu Zhuoran erged from seclusion, which also happened to be his birthday.
Dang Xueqing contacted Xu Ning at this ti. "What gift did my dear senior sister prepare?"
Xu Ning answered truthfully. "Senior Sister An Lanxin prepared a mid-grade Yuan Power Pill."
To be honest, a mid-grade Yuan Power Pill wasn't very precious to Foundation Establishnt cultivators, but for Qi Refining disciples, it would empty half their savings.
Dang Xueqing said, "Hahahaha, my dear senior sister is really stingy! I prepared a high-grade one. Let's see if I don't outdo her this ti!"
Xu Ning was also surprised to hear this. She had actually prepared a high-grade Yuan Power Pill. For Dang Xueqing, this must have emptied her savings!
Xu Ning said, "Fourth Senior Sister is definitely a step ahead of Third Senior Sister."
Dang Xueqing said, "Bai Xiu! It's so good to have you!"
Xu Ning said, "Hehehe!"
Turning around, An Lanxin approached Xu Ning again. "Bai Xiu, do you think it's okay if I give her a mid-grade Yuan Power Pill?"
Xu Ning quickly replied, "Yes, definitely!"
An Lanxin hesitated. "I wonder what Dang Xueqing will give her this ti!"
Xu Ning said, "Senior Sister, it shouldn't be worse than a mid-grade Yuan Power Pill, right?"
An Lanxin slapped her thigh. "No, I want to change it. Change it to a high-grade one. At least it can't be lower than hers!"
Xu Ning said, "Forget it, high-grade is too expensive."
An Lanxin said, "I don't care!"
In the end, both of them gave high-grade Yuan Power Pills. Neither of them could outdo the other, and instead, they were both drained of their resources.
On the other hand, Gu Zhuoran's second disciple just casually gave a Yuan-grade spiritual herb and got away with it.
This put Xu Ning in a difficult position, as Dang Xueqing questioned him again. "Didn't you say An Lanxin gave you a mid-grade Yuanli Pill? Why did you change it to a high-grade one?"
Xu Ning said, "Well, Senior Sister! Senior Sister An Lanxin might have started to suspect ! So she changed her mind at the last minute and gave a different gift!"
Dang Xueqing said, "Is that so? Then you need to be careful! We shouldn't contact each other for a while!"
Xu Ning said, "Okay, okay, okay!"
Then, An Lanxin called Xu Ning over again. "Bai Xiu! This ti you almost got outdone by my junior sister. You deserve a lot of credit!"
Xu Ning said, "It's all thanks to Senior Sister's foresight."
In the following days, An Lanxin took Xu Ning out for training. Xu Ning inford Dang Xueqing, and then they fought each other again during the training.
Many interesting things happened afterward. Once, the conflict escalated into a fight between the two groups of servants. Xu Ning deliberately controlled the situation, resulting in a draw.
Later, a betrayal occurred, bringing Xu Ning back to Dang Xueqing's side.
Twenty years passed in the blink of an eye amidst this tug-of-war with the two weaklings.
Xu Ning's cultivation had also revealed itself to be at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
anwhile, those two equally matched weakling senior sisters had long since broken through to the Foundation Establishnt stage and left Flowing Cloud Peak.
Most of the forr close-knit disciples had died in accidents.
Twenty years had passed like fleeting clouds. The once lively and interesting Flowing Cloud Peak had instantly beco extrely deserted. It would be a lie to say that Xu Ning didn't feel a sense of loss.
"Sigh! It's ti to reveal my Foundation Establishnt cultivation and beco an elder. This Flowing Cloud Peak is no longer interesting." Xu Ning murmured softly, looking at the deserted Flowing Cloud Peak.
Peak Master Gu Zhuoran was very busy, usually either out on missions to earn resources or in seclusion, so he hadn't paid attention to Xu Ning, who had already beco an inner disciple, and didn't know that Xu Ning had reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining.
After revealing his Foundation Establishnt cultivation, Xu Ning went to the registration office to register and left his soul lamp.
