Chapter 69 - A Small Spirit Gathering Array

At that time, in order to pass the Lightning Tribulation, many of Su Cheng’s items were used to resist the lightning, and only these small things were left.

Dong Xi took the jade pendant in his hand. She did not expect the jade pendant to be a small spirit gathering array!

Dong Xi felt it and was immediately overjoyed. Although this spirit gathering array was small, its effect was even better than the one in the cave abode! With this, she would be able to cultivate anywhere in the future!

Su Cheng could feel the change in her mood. He chuckled in his heart, turned around, and fell asleep again.

When Dong Xi returned, Master Lingxu was the first to notice.

He immediately sent a voice transmission talisman to Dong Xi and told her to head to the main peak.

Dong Xi did not dare to dawdle. She immediately stopped and rode on her little leaf to the main peak.

When she arrived, she found that other than her Third Senior Brother, the rest of her Senior and Junior Brothers were all present.

Everyone had not seen Dong Xi for three months, so they naturally all looked over.

Lingxu was the first to notice Dong Xi’s breakthrough. He asked in surprise, “You’ve broken through to the third level of the Qi Refinement stage?”

It had only been six months since she entered the sect, and she had already reached the third level of Qi Refinement?

When Chi Yan heard this, the red feathers on her head stood up. She immediately looked at Dong Xi, her eyes full of shock.

Chi Yan could not help but ask, “How did you do it?”

In the past few months, she had refined the Marrow-cleansing Gold that her master had given her and had long turned into a heavenly spirit root. Now, with a casual breath, there would be a large amount of spiritual energy entering her body.

But even so, she was still a step away from reaching the Third level of the Qi Refinement stage. In contrast, Dong Xi was still a step ahead of her!

Dong Xi did not know how to tell everyone. She could only say ambiguously, “I just kept cultivating, and then, and then I broke through by myself…”

Chi Yan would not believe her so easily, but Lingxu said, “It seems to me that you all have to learn from Dong Xi! The rain didn’t stop that day, but Little Xi practiced her swordsmanship all the way until dawn. She almost didn’t eat or rest on a normal day, and she was always cultivating. If you guys were as hardworking as your Little Junior Sister, I daresay your cultivation wouldn’t be so low!”

As he spoke, Lingxu was satisfied with Dong Xi. Who said that his little disciple’s aptitude was not good enough? Isn’t this good?

The stupid bird flies first was just an excuse. He had been cultivating for so many years, but he had never seen anyone with three spirit roots cultivate so quickly.

Liang Yan and Song Qingfeng were both old foxes, and their expressions were indifferent. Only Chi Yan was a little ashamed by Lingxu’s words.

Chi Yan swore to himself that she would work hard on her cultivation when he returned.

Lingxu continued to ask, “Little Xi, I heard from Qingfeng that you went to the Cultivation Techniques Hall to choose a cultivation technique. You’ve been there for three months. Did you find a suitable technique?”

“No, Master.” Dong Xi shook her head.

When everyone heard Dong Xi say this, they were all very surprised!

Among them, only Eldest Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother had looked for techniques in the Cultivation Techniques Hall. Song Qingfeng and Chi Yan had inherited techniques from their ancestors.

There were many cultivation techniques in the Cultivation Techniques Hall, so it was impossible for there to be no suitable cultivation techniques in all three of the halls.

Lingxu also sensed that something was wrong and immediately asked, “Little Xi, what’s going on?”

Dong Xi also wanted to figure out the problem, so she explained that no matter what cultivation technique she learned, the spiritual Qi would dissipate.

“Not from any of the five elements?” Ling Xu asked.

“No,” Dong Xi immediately said.

Lingxu frowned. “Which clan are you from?”

If she could not cultivate techniques from any of the five elements, it might be because of the power of her bloodline that she needed to cultivate a special cultivation technique.

When Dong Xi heard the word ‘clan’, alarm bells immediately rang in her heart.

She had entered the sect in Dong Rourou’s place to begin with, so she naturally did not have the right to do so.

“It’s just a small clan in the mortal world,” Dong Xi said ambiguously.

“Do you still have cultivators at home?” Ling Xu continued to ask.

“No,” Dong Xi shook her head.

In fact, there was a cultivator in the family, and that was Dong Rourou’s older brother, Dong Tianya, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

But if she mentioned Dong Tianya’s name, then what should they do when Dong Xi’s identity was exposed?

Now Dong Xi’s cultivation speed was godly, it was better than the original owner who was still at the third level of Qi Refinement eight years later. In any case, being chased out of the sect was still a road of death.

“This is really strange,” Lingxu said with a puzzled expression.

Before he finished his words, Song Qingfeng took out a book and threw it to Dong Xi. Song Qingfeng said lightly, “Try this.”

Dong Xi immediately caught it. Lingxu came back to his senses and said in surprise, “Qingfeng, that’s your…”

Before Lingxu could finish, Song Qingfeng said with a smile, “Master, whether or not you can cultivate it depends on heaven’s will. There’s the choice of the cultivation technique, and also the choice of heaven’s will. The disciple alone will have no choice. So it doesn’t matter. There’s no harm in letting Junior Sister try.”
