Chapter 19: Chapter 19: Acting Too Impatiently
"Teacher?"
Nalan Yanran blinked her eyes, always feeling that the teacher's gaze today was a bit strange towards her.
On the side, Yun Tianming also felt curious. With his strong observational skills, he noticed the various expressions that Yun Yun rapidly changed in an instant.
Joy, sorrow, jealousy, self-mockery.
According to his analysis, analyzing a woman is really a tricky thing!
Indeed, the bottom of a woman's heart is like the sea with hidden needles!
Yun Tianming couldn't help but secretly comment: I guess even the Di Realm's spiritual power can't see through a woman's true thoughts, huh?
"No, it's nothing."
"By the way, this is a Pill I obtained from Elder Gu He for you."
Skipping this topic, Yun Yun took out two wooden boxes from her bosom. After a moment of hesitation on her face, she handed them to the two.
"Could this be the Fourth Grade Pill: Qi Gathering Powder?!"
Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up as she opened the box.
It is said to be a magical Pill that can make a Ninth Stage Dou Disciple completely condense the Dou Disciple cyclone, advancing to become a Dou Practitioner!
Yun Tianming didn't open the wooden box. With a sweep of his Soul Power, he knew for sure that what was inside was definitely not a Fourth Grade Pill.
Having managed the medicine field for many years, he had gained rich knowledge about Pills, and the energy emanating from the Pill easily revealed its grade.
Did you notice? He's indeed a perceptive guy.
Yun Yun sighed, expressing regret on her face, "Sorry, Tianming. I broke my promise and couldn't bring you a Qi Gathering Powder."
"Tianming Senior Brother, this..."
Nalan Yanran's initial joy on her face faded, and she looked at Yun Tianming with concern.
Not long ago, when the two of them reached the Ninth Stage Dou Disciple, Yun Yun had promised to give each of them a Qi Gathering Powder. Unexpectedly, only she had received the Qi Gathering Powder now, which seemed unfair to Yun Tianming.
"The Sect Master is alredy generous enough. As the saying goes, no effort, no gain. I have no reason not to accept such a generous gift from the Sect Master without any merit," said Yun Tianming calmly, showing no sign of disappointment.
In fact, he had already sensed Gu He's hostility towards him. It was clear that Gu He didn't like him getting close to Yun Yun. In such a situation, why would the other party willingly refine medicine for him? After carefully sensing the Condensing Qi Pill in his hand, the quality was quite good as a Third Grade Pill.
Gu He could be considered fundamentally an "honest person." Since he identified Yun Tianming as a potential enemy, he should take advantage of the opportunity to "enhance" the Pill. Suppressing Yun Tianming while avoiding offending Yun Yun, Gu He's cautious and indecisive actions explained why he couldn't compete with Xiao Yan in the original work. In this life, Yun Tianming would still strive to outshine Gu He!
"This matter, consider it a debt from me."
Yun Yun looked serious. With her stubborn personality, she believed in fulfilling the promises she made. If, due to uncontrollable circumstances, she couldn't keep her promise, she considered it her fault.
"Alright."
Yun Tianming shrugged helplessly, but inwardly, he felt a secret delight. The most challenging debt to repay in the world is a debt of gratitude. By owing each other, the entanglement between the two of them deepens, doesn't it?
"Tianming Senior Brother, how about you take this Qi Gathering Powder?"
Nalan Yanran pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then handed the Qi Gathering Powder in her hand to Yun Tianming.
"Huh?"
Yun Tianming looked at Nalan Yanran in surprise. What's going on? Is Qi Gathering Powder not valuable, and you can just give it away like this?
"..."
Yun Yun's eyes paused, seemingly lost in thought.
"Don't, don't look at me like that."
"Actually, I can go back to the Family to get the Pill. With my father and grandfather's affection for me, obtaining a mere Qi Gathering Powder is quite easy."
Nalan Yanran waved her hand, pretending to explain nonchalantly.
This is a lie!
Initially, due to the matter of her engagement, there was a lot of unpleasantness in the Nalan Family, especially with her grandfather Nalan Jie, who had a volatile temper and a stubborn character. He declared that even if he had to break her legs, he would send her to the Xiao Family to fulfill the engagement!
Although, with Nalan Yanran's current status as the successor of the Misty Cloud Sect, the Nalan Family couldn't openly coerce her. However, if she were to make a request from the Family, the Nalan Family might use their interests to manipulate her.
"Yanran Junior Sister's good intention, I understand."
"This Pill is prepared for you by the Sect Master, I cannot accept it."
"Rest assured! Even without relying on Qi Gathering Powder, I am confident that I can break through to become a Dou Practitioner!"
Yun Tianming declined tactfully.
On one hand, he believed that the Qi Gathering Powder was prepared by Yun Yun for Nalan Yanran. He couldn't and wasn't qualified to accept it.
On the other hand, as mentioned earlier, he adhered to the principle that "gratitude is the most challenging debt to repay." He didn't want to owe Nalan Yanran a favor.
Most importantly, he was indeed confident in breaking through to become a Dou Practitioner!
"Tianming Senior Brother."
Nalan Yanran clenched her teeth, looking at him with a face full of gratitude. The importance of Qi Gathering Powder for cultivators goes without saying, but he didn't hesitate at all, willingly giving it to her. What a magnanimous gesture!
Seeing this, Yun Yun nodded silently, quite satisfied with Yun Tianming's behavior. The path of cultivation is like going against the heavens, and to compete for precious resources, even blood relatives can turn against each other. In the history of the Misty Cloud Sect, there were many instances of disciples killing each other for the sake of cultivating Qi Methods and Pills. Young individuals like Yun Tianming, with a gentle temperament and understanding of humility, were truly rare.
"Having confidence is a good thing. Tianming, I've always held high expectations for you!"
"Next, I will go to other cities to try to find the materials for Qi Gathering Powder. However, don't expect too much, as both the materials and Alchemists capable of refining Fourth Grade Pills are not easy to come by."
"As compensation, I will find a Qi Method suitable for your cultivation."
Yun Yun made another promise.
Qi Method is a method of using Dou Qi that can only be practiced after becoming a Dou Practitioner. Its importance even surpasses Dou Technique and Pills. The level of Qi Method determines the future potential of the cultivator!
Among the Misty Cloud Sect's collection, the highest level of Wood-type Qi Method is only Black Rank Low Level. Although, for most cultivators, Black Rank Low Level is already a very good Qi Method, Yun Yun, with her vision and considering Yun Tianming's excellent talent, believed they should find a Black Rank High Level Wood-type Qi Method no matter what!
"Sect Master, I appreciate your kindness, and I've taken it to heart."
"I swear I will repay you well!"
Yun Tianming's heart warmed, unable to resist taking a step forward, picking up Yun Yun's hand and gazing intensely at her.
Young man, something seems off!
"!!!"
Yun Yun's heart shook, wait, is this gaze a bit too fervent? This doesn't seem like the gaze of a junior towards a senior!
Feeling the soft and smooth palm of Yun Yun, a subtle force was faintly transmitted, and Yun Tianming inwardly exclaimed that this was not good.
Blame it on his lack of composure. Why did he rashly make a move like this?
Acting too impatiently!
