The two of them chatted intimately until the steamed buns brought by Xie Yuwei were devoured by Xiao Shuxiang. For Xiao Shuxiang himself, Xie Yuwei was his best friend through thick and thin. Unlike some others who now began to distance themselves from Xiao Shuxiang even though they were in the same situation in Rainbow Village. Those who were ambitious in pursuing power seemed ashamed to know Xiao Shuxiang, who was known to be useless.
It wasn't long before Xie Yuwei excused herself. She also didn't want her presence at Xiao Shuxiang's place to cause problems because of the relationship between men and women. Xie Yuwei certainly didn't want to worsen Xiao Shuxiang's condition, who was currently getting a bad impression regarding his abilities that hadn't improved.
After Xie Yuwei said goodbye to return to her residence, which also followed an Elder, Xiao Shuxiang entered his room to rest. He already missed his resting place after experiencing the previous difficult event.
"For some reason, the steamed buns made by Xie Yuwei are the best," said Xiao Shuxiang slowly while holding his stomach.
In his room, Xiao Shuxiang turned into a lazy pig and immediately fell asleep after his stomach was full enough. Xiao Shuxiang could breathe a sigh of relief because, by the rules, he had met the minimum standard to stay in the Black Dragon Sect. As for his next strength, he had to wait for his teacher to return so that there would be no excessive suspicion regarding his drastic increase.
Even though the night passed, Xiao Shuxiang seemed sound asleep until early in the morning he opened his eyes and realized that there was a strong aura walking towards his residence.
"Has Master returned?" muttered Xiao Shuxiang in a pensive sitting position.
While he was still in his position, the main door opened and his teacher's voice was heard calling him.
"Xiang'er..."
"Ah, it really is Master," said Xiao Shuxiang as he got up and walked quickly to the central room.
Seeing Xiao Shuxiang's arrival, Li Haoran's eyes narrowed and he felt something different.
"Oh, thank goodness it seems you have experienced quite a rapid development while I was gone," said Li Haoran, who was surprised by the increase in the strength of his only disciple.
"Yes, Master, while you were away on a mission to the Capital, I continued to train hard," said Xiao Shuxiang respectfully.
"Practicing is good, but don't forget your time to rest," said Li Haoran reminding him.
As a teacher, Li Haoran really loved Xiao Shuxiang, who was also his adopted son. However, because he was still relatively young, Li Haoran was a little uncomfortable with the title of foster father, therefore he preferred to be called teacher by Xiao Shuxiang. Even so that his attention would not diminish, Li Haoran only raised one student, Xiao Shuxiang.
"I brought you pills to increase your strength," said Li Haoran, taking something out of his pocket.
Since his initial departure to the Capital, he had clearly planned to obtain the eclipse pill known as the pill for opening meridian blockages. Cultivators who experience problems with cultivation bottlenecks can use these pills, it's just that these pills are sold very strictly and are only found in the alchemy pavilion of the Imperial Capital.
"Thank you, Master, I'm sorry I always trouble you," said Xiao Shuxiang with an expression of holding back sadness.
"You've been here for five years, you could say that togetherness isn't a short time either. Therefore, I want you to be able to take part in the outer disciple tournament to prove your quality, not just pass it but become a shining star," Li Haoran said seriously.
"In the next month, no matter what other people say, you have to be able to show your best results," continued Li Haoran, taking out a large bag of spirit stones from his storage.
"Master, won't this be a problem?" said Xiao Shuxiang hesitantly.
"Even though you try to hide your cultivation level, I can understand it." Li Haoran smiled faintly, knowing that Xiao Shuxiang had suppressed his strength level.
"So Master already knows?" said Xiao Shuxiang feeling a little guilty.
"The technique you use is a common technique in the Black Dragon Sect, so of course Elders like me can easily guess," Li Haoran said with a light smile.
On the other hand, Li Haoran was certainly not angry with his student's attitude. He was quite proud of Xiao Shuxiang's attitude, who didn't want to stand out. Although he didn't understand what had happened to his student, Li Haoran didn't feel any strange aura that needed to be worried about from his student's body.
"Thank you, Master, for your understanding..." Xiao Shuxiang said in amazement.
"I have no objection to your attitude like that, it is only natural that a cultivator does not boast about his talent. Because there are many examples if they will perish before they develop into stronger in the future." Li Haoran advised so that Xiao Shuxiang would not be complacent with his achievements, which were still not much.
"Thank you, Master, this advice is very important in my life," Xiao Shuxiang said sincerely.
"Because you have been able to prove your ability, so I'm not too worried about your existence. The thing you have to do immediately is visit the library to get martial arts techniques that are suitable for you, after which I will guide you," said Li Haoran with a bright smile.
Xiao Shuxiang's heart became happy, what his teacher paid attention to was certainly something he was thinking about doing as soon as possible. Moreover, on the next occasion, Li Haoran even issued five hundred spirit stones.
With that amount, the Second Elder wanted his student to cultivate seriously and exceed his expectations in the next month. Li Haoran of course wanted to test his disciple, this was to ascertain the ability of his disciple whom he felt was starting to be different.
Xiao Shuxiang also smiled brightly, with five hundred energy stones equal to him who had been in the Sect for five years. Even though all this time spirit stones didn't have much effect on his cultivation improvement, with his latest technique he was sure that different results would certainly be easy to achieve.
When the day turned to noon and Xiao Shuxiang finished his routine, he said goodbye to his teacher to visit the place he had wanted to visit for a long time, the Sect Library. During this time he did not have the opportunity to visit the place because he was constrained by his cultivation base which was still very low, so this time he was really impatient to visit the place.
According to the rules of the Black Dragon Sect, someone who is allowed to enter the Sect Library is a disciple who is at the lowest level of the middle stage Qi Refining. However, now this was certainly no longer an obstacle for Xiao Shuxiang, he could already meet the First Elder who was in charge of guarding and supervising the place.
