Chapter 12: Rushing to curry favor with those people already?

Chapter 12: Rushing to please those people already?

When a disciple's cultivation is weak, is it only natural for a Master to offer some assistance?

It was only today that Li Shuang realized this!

She had been a peerless genius from the moment she entered the sect. To reward her, the sect had bestowed upon her a vast amount of rewards all at once.

Most of these rewards had been taken by Perfected Lingxu.

Perfected Lingxu had said that since she was his disciple, it was only right and proper for her to show filial piety to her Master.

And so, Li Shuang had simply accepted that it was only natural.

In any case, with her innate talent, she did not need external aids; her progress would advance by leaps and bounds regardless. Before Sheng Yuan arrived, Li Shuang spent every day immersed in bitter cultivation, and she had essentially given almost all the various resources provided by the sect each year to Perfected Lingxu.

Later on, she didn't even see the items anymore; they were simply taken away by Perfected Lingxu directly.

Li Shuang had always believed that all master-disciple relationships were like this. Especially since Perfected Lingxu had constantly told her that as the Eldest Senior Sister, she should shoulder responsibility, and as the first disciple, she should sacrifice everything for the sake of the sect.

But now...

Qing Ling was saying that it was also only natural for a Master to give gifts to their disciples?

Li Shuang's silence proved everything.

Lin Qingling was somewhat stunned.

Could this Lingxu really be capable of such a thing??

Although she was considered relatively poor among the Peak Masters, she was never stingy when it came to nurturing her disciples!

But what about Lingxu?

He couldn't have given Li Shuang nothing at all, could he!

Lin Qingling suddenly remembered.

As a peerless genius, the sect had tilted a massive amount of resources toward Li Shuang.

However, aside from that Dragon Chant Sword that had betrayed her, Li Shuang never seemed to possess any other magical artifacts. Even the clothes she wore were merely simple white robes, devoid of any auxiliary effects!

Where were all those things the sect had given her?

Lin Qingling couldn't help but say, "Li Shuang, today is the day the sect distributes resources! Although your cultivation has dropped to the Qi Refining stage, you possess a peerless Ice Spiritual Root, so the sect will issue corresponding resources. You should go and collect them."

Li Shuang hesitated. "Master... where do I go to collect these resources?"

Lin Qingling fell silent.

Luo Mingyue and the others also fell silent.

Lin Qingling couldn't help but ask, "You... have never collected sect resources? How have you been cultivating all these years?"

Li Shuang said honestly, "I have just been practicing through bitter cultivation."

Lin Qingling suddenly stood up and slammed the table heavily.

The table instantly cracked down the middle.

Normally, in such a situation, Liu Juncheng would definitely have spoken up to remind Lin Qingling to mind her decorum, but this time, even Liu Juncheng had a dark expression, his eyes harboring a trace of coldness!

"That old man Lingxu has gone too far!" Lin Qingling gnashed her teeth.

Li Shuang had been in the sect for twenty years.

Core Formation in three years, Nascent Soul in ten!

Such a cultivation speed was nothing short of staggering!

And such a speed was achieved despite her not using a single resource!

An ordinary person encountering such a genius disciple would surely cherish them in the palm of their hand!

But what about old man Lingxu?

He had actually been squeezing Li Shuang to death!

Suppressing her rage, Lin Qingling said, "Mingyue, you three, take Li Shuang to collect this month's resources first. That old man Lingxu acts this way—I am going to find the Sect Leader and have a serious talk with him!"

Everything he had swallowed from her disciple, he must spit it all back out.

"Yes!" Luo Mingyue and the others responded loudly!

Lin Qingling rushed out in a whirlwind.

Li Shuang wanted to say something, but there was no time.

Luo Mingyue took a deep breath, controlling her urge to curse, and then flashed a smile at Li Shuang. "Come, we'll take you to collect the sect resources. Resources are distributed every month, and the distribution date is the same as the opening day of the Great Marketplace. Everyone says the sect releases spirit stones at this time just to stimulate consumption."

Li Shuang nodded in agreement.

As the Supreme Forgetting Sutra circulated, her perception of others' emotions became exceptionally keen.

She could feel that Luo Mingyue and the others were all forcibly suppressing their anger.

This anger was naturally not directed at her.

They... were simply feeling indignant on her behalf.

She herself was no longer trapped by the past, yet they were still feeling indignant and angry for her.

A soft light flashed in Li Shuang's eyes.

Although she had only just joined, she seemed to have already developed some affection for these fellow disciples.

Slowly, threads of emotion began to surface in her heart.

Driven by these emotions, the speed at which the Supreme Forgetting Sutra circulated actually began to accelerate!

A thoughtful look flashed in Li Shuang's eyes.

Those emotions that harmed the self could be called "emotions of evil."

And these beneficial emotions could be called "emotions of good."

The emotions of evil were completely discarded.

But the emotions of good could actually drive the Forgetting Sutra to circulate even faster.

So this was...

The complete Supreme Forgetting Sutra?

This sutra was different from other cultivation methods; it was inherently circulating on its own at all times. Now, its speed was becoming even faster. This efficiency was much higher than when she used to cultivate with all her might!

She had cultivated in the snowy mountains for a few days, reaching the second level of Qi Refining.

After returning, while in a coma, her magic power had circulated on its own for a few more days, reaching the third level of Qi Refining.

With this new realization...

Li Shuang's cultivation broke through another level, reaching directly to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Sensing the increase in Li Shuang's cultivation, Luo Mingyue looked at her in surprise. "You've advanced again?"

Li Shuang was in a good mood. "Just a small breakthrough."

Luo Mingyue couldn't help but ruffle her hair. "In just a few days, you're already at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and you still dare to call it a 'small breakthrough'? Who are you trying to make jealous to death!"

While Luo Mingyue spoke of jealousy, her eyes were filled with joy.

Now that she had brought Li Shuang under her wing, she was just waiting for her Junior Sister to return to her peak, and then, to狠狠 slap those people in the face!

Li Shuang had also become somewhat accustomed to Luo Mingyue's enthusiastic way of expressing herself, and she couldn't help but tease, "Then I'm afraid the days of Eldest Senior Sister's jealousy are still to come."

Luo Mingyue glared at her. "Li Shuang! It's only been this long, how have you already learned bad habits!"

Li Shuang was very humble. "It is because Eldest Senior Sister taught me well."

"You..." Looking at Li Shuang like this, Luo Mingyue couldn't help but laugh.

The old Li Shuang looked like a block of ice.

Few people could see through her exterior to the incredibly soft heart within.

The current Li Shuang...

Was truly revealing a glimpse of her real self.

"Let's go, collect the resources first," Liu Juncheng reminded them.

Luo Mingyue instantly became impatient. "Let's go, let's go! I just finished spending last month's resources; I've been waiting for spirit stones to wander the marketplace!"

Luo Mingyue rushed out, pulling Li Shuang along.

Liu Juncheng and Jiang Yi hurried to follow.

"Sect resources are distributed at the Disciple Hall every month. You just need to present your disciple token like this. After checking the token, different rewards will be issued." Luo Mingyue demonstrated the process, placing the materials provided by the Disciple Hall into her storage bag, and then said, "Xiao Shuang, you try."

Li Shuang nodded and, following Luo Mingyue's example, handed over her sect token.

The disciple at the hall checked it and handed Li Shuang her resources.

As Li Shuang placed the resources into her storage bag, she felt a very novel sensation; to be honest, this was the first time she had truly received sect resources since entering the sect.

Suddenly.

A cold voice rang out.

"Eldest Senior Sister. Having just joined, are you already rushing to please those people over there?"
