BXBX NOVEL Chapter 38
Ke Xin said to Dong Xi with a smile, “You’ll only know if it works if you try. Moreover, Master Lingxu is also an alchemist. He would naturally prefer spirit roots like ours.”
As Ke Xin spoke, she looked around to see if there was anyone around. This was because she had expended a lot of effort to obtain the next piece of news, so she could not let anyone hear it easily. This matter was very important to the two of them.
After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Ke Xin leaned close to Dong Xi’s ear and whispered, “My Good Sister, I’ve asked around. Master Lingxu has a pill that can cleanse the marrow. If you take it, it can increase your spirit root value. I’m going to try, and you’re going too. Even if I lose to you, I’ll be happy.”
Dong Xi looked at Ke Xin’s high-spirited expression, as if they were the ones who were going to be recruited as the closed-door disciple. It was impossible for them to be the only ones who knew about such a big matter. Some of the more capable disciples would know about it as well. When the time came, the competition would not be so simple.
Dong Xi could not help but remind her. “Sister, we’re not the only disciples of the Ningtian Sect. There are so many Senior Brothers and Sisters. We shouldn’t be too optimistic.”
Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi frowning and found her extremely adorable. Dong Xi knew about this as well, but she had to give it a try since she had the chance. What if she was selected? Even if she lost, it was a good thing. She would still be able to see see the world and train herself. It was better than going into seclusion alone.
Ke Xin said with a smile as she looked at Dong Xi, “I know, but there aren’t many opportunities like this. I have to try. What if he has taken a fancy to us? My Good Sister, if you enter the inner sect, don’t forget about me.”
Dong Xi sighed inwardly. Even if she really did become Elder Lingxu’s disciples, she would not have given them such a precious Marrow-cleansing Pill. Although Ke Xin had said that the probability of this happening was small, there was still a tiny bit of hope. Even if she could not obtain the Marrow-cleansing Pill, she would still get other resources if she became Elder Lingxu’s disciple.
By then, even if Dong Rourou entered the Dao through martial arts, she would still have the protection of her Master. The sect would not have an easy time expelling Dong Xi out of the sect.
Thinking of this, Dong Xi’s blood instantly boiled. In life, one must always take a gamble. If she succeeded, she could profit handsomely. If she had to work hard, she would work hard. The rest could only depend on heaven’s will.
Ke Xin looked at Dong Xi with excitement. She knew that there would be no problem. After all, this was a rare opportunity. It was also the fastest way for an outer sect disciple to enter the inner sect. Moreover, there was a chance to get such a powerful Master.
Dong Xi moved closer to Ke Xin and looked around mysteriously, “Then how does he choose his disciples? It can’t be as simple as just looking at one’s aptitude and cultivation, right?”
If they only looked at talent and cultivation, then there was no need to select from the entire sect. They could just choose from the top disciples in the inner sect. It would save them a lot of trouble.
Ke Xin’s face immediately showed a smug expression. Ke Xin had also asked around and found out about this matter. She said proudly, “You’ve asked the right person. Others might not know, but I’ve found out.”
Dong Xi’s eyes lit up when she heard this. As expected of Ke Xin. Not only was she familiar with the sect, but she was also very good at gathering information. She had only been in the sect for two months, but she knew everything. There was nothing that Ke Xin did not know. Dong Xi’s expression of eagerness to hear the details gave Ke Xin a thrill, and she began to explain the rules of the selection in detail.
Elder Lingxu was a seventh-grade alchemist, not far from the eighth-grade. He was also very famous in the Xianxia world. This time, the main purpose of recruiting disciples was to find someone to inherit his legacy. Therefore, the first test will be to understand the attributes of the medicinal herbs, as well as how to deal with the unexpected situations that occurred when various medicinal herbs were mixed.
There was a hard rule in the qualification, which was that one must have fire and wood spirit roots. Cultivation level was not important. Even if one had a low cultivation level now, it did not matter. Anyway, the cultivation level would rise in the future. There were no other special requirements. Therefore, this was really an opportunity for outer sect disciples. If they missed it, they might not get another chacne.
