Amongst Cultivators, I Stand Above All

244 The Warmth in Her Heart

Dong Xi was a little scared at first, but after hearing the words that came after, her heart felt warm.

This little old man was really cute. In both of Dong Xi’s lives, this was the first time someone had stood up for Dong Xi after she was wronged.

Although his voice was a little loud, it was very cute.

If Master Lingxu knew that Dong Xi was thinking like this, he would probably vomit blood.

Wasn’t it because of Dong Xi’s influence that it was so loud? Originally, Master Ling Xu had been using his divine sense to transmit his voice for hundreds of years, but ever since he accepted Dong Xi as his disciple, he had been led astray bit by bit.

The eldest disciple of the Sect Master was also shocked. In the cultivation world, cultivation was all about cultivation and character, so there were very few quarrels like this.

The main point was that they were not quarreling over anything major, just over a thousand points.

It was understandable if the people from the Sword Sect came to quarrel.

But the one quarreling was an alchemist! One had to know that the Alchemy Sect’s people were the richest. Would they care about this little bit of points?

Dong Xi and the head disciple walked in and saw Master Lingxu’s dissatisfaction. Master Lingxu said, “On what basis is Little Xi being punished? Why isn’t kid from the Equipment Refining Sect being punished? Are you using us alchemy ancestors as seeds of resentment?”

Wei Nan looked at the disciple who came in and sighed, “The ground of the arena was broken by your Little Xi, and it has nothing to do with that disciple of the Equipment Refining Sect. Even if that disciple attacked with all his strength, he wouldn’t be able to break the ground.”

“What do you mean?” Master Lingxu frowned. “Little Xi cultivation level is lower than that Equipment Refining Sect disciple’s, only at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement stage…”

As he said that, he looked at Dong Xi and instantly widened his eyes. He said, “Aiyo! Seventh level? How could this girl cultivate so quickly? You are indeed my good disciple.”

Then, he looked at Wei Nan again with a dissatisfied expression.

Master Lingxu continued. “Alright, I’ll go with the seventh-stage Qi Refinement. However, it’s still lower than the cultivation of that kid from the Equipment Refining Sect. You’re being very unfair.”

Wei Nan looked at Master Lingxu, and said helplessly, “There’s nothing wrong with the arena’s protective shield. It’s your disciple who has a problem. She knows best what she did in the fighting ring. Let her explain.”

After saying that, Wei Nan looked at Dong Xi.

Dong Xi suddenly felt a little guilty. In theory, Dong Xi had borrowed Duan Leng’s power to temper her body. The power had passed from her sword to her arms and then been absorbed by her body-tempering cultivation technique. The excess power had been sent out from under her feet. Could the ground of the arena have been damaged because of resonance?

Master Lingxu immediately said, “Dong Xi, tell us what you’ve done.”

Dong Xi lowered her head and looked at her feet, feeling really guilty.

Dong Xi said, “This disciple… But… Body refinement…”

Dong Xi’s voice was soft to begin with, and her final words were even more muffled.

Even a person of Master Lingxu’s level could not clearly hear what it was.

Instantly, Master Lingxu said anxiously, “Little Xi, what are you talking about?”

Dong Xi knew that she could not fool them anymore. She sighed in her heart and raised her head. Dong Xi looked at her master and said bravely, “Master, I was just training my body in the arena.”

“Body refining?” Master Lingxu exclaimed in shock.

He knew that Dong Xi had tempered her body before, she had also asked for pills from him.

After that, she continued to run up and down the mountain every day. However, she stopped for a while, so Master Lingxu thought that Dong Xi had given up because body-tempering was too difficult.

However, he had never expected Dong Xi to have tempered her body to such an extent.

She’s actually refining her body on the stage?

Master Lingxu could not understand no matter how he thought about it. He said, “How did you do this?”

Dong Xi said innocently, “I’m was thinking that Senior Brother Duan Leng is from the Equipment Refining Sect. He needs to hammer every day when he refines equipment. I’ll just be the ‘equipment’ that is being hammered.”

Sect Master Wei Nan looked at Dong Xi and said, “You’ve already cultivated a special body refining technique?”

After Wei Nan found out about this, he specially looked at the photostone and found that Dong Xi’s breathing aura was very brilliant.

If she had not cultivated a special cultivation technique, the stage would not have become like that. If she only followed the regular path of a seventh level of Qi Refinement stage disciples, Dong Xi would not have been able to withstand and receive so many attacks.

“That’s right,” Dong Xi nodded.

She had already practiced it, and she would be discovered sooner or later.

When she had first joined the sect, Dong Xi had studied the sect’s rules clearly. Everything Dong Xi was doing now did not violate the rules.

Before Master Wei Nan could say anything, Master Lingxu said with a smile, “Little Xi is indeed powerful. I heard from Yijian that your swordsmanship isn’t bad either. Now that you’ve caught up in body tempering, you are able to attack as well as defend. This is good, very good!”
