My Taoist partner has turned evil, but I can continue to become stronger

Chapter 9 Buying Pills
"If you dare to touch my things, you will have to pay the price. If you hadn't touched him, I would have poured resources into helping you achieve great success.

Later, he stole the limelight in the competitions among the peaks, shined brilliantly, and defeated Ling Xiao in one fell swoop to become the new chief.

Unfortunately, these are no longer available to you.”

As he spoke, Fan Qianyue observed the changes in Xia Ningyan's expression, and saw a rare look of surprise on her cold and proud face.

She raised the corners of her mouth, and a light flashed in her captivating eyes.

"But Master still remembers the relationship between you and him as a disciple."

Changing the subject, Fan Qianyue suddenly withdrew her pressure, her voice became softer, and she walked to Xia Ningyan, leaned over and spoke.

“As long as you can promise me that you will leave him completely from now on, Master can still devote resources to help you awaken.

You are still my most proud disciple, the candidate for the next peak master. You will win the championship in the upcoming competition, become the new chief, and get the glory you deserve."

"."

Faced with the naked temptation before her, Xia Ningyan did not doubt its authenticity. She knew Fan Qianyue's character and understood that what he said was true.

Once he agreed, he could really get what she said, but the only price he would pay was to lose Lu Xuan.

Without much hesitation, Xia Ningyan pondered for a short while, then met Fan Qianyue's slightly expectant gaze and bowed again.

"I'm sorry, Master, I can't obey your command!"

".Humph, it's just as I expected. But I didn't expect you, an unfilial disciple, to give him up so easily."

Fan Qianyue was not angry. She knew Xia Ningyan's personality and had expected this result.

"But you have to think carefully. The resources for awakening the Dao body are huge. Even if you two have invested all your savings over the years, it will only allow you to achieve a small level of Dao body awakening.

If he, a Jindan cultivator, tries to save up money, even if he saves for decades it will still be a drop in the bucket. And your salary will stop after this competition. How long do you think he can hold on?
A few years? A dozen years? Not to mention the suitors surrounding him. "

If Xia Ningyan did not agree to his conditions, for Fan Qianyue, it would just mean that he would get Lu Xuan a little later.

She has waited for so many years, she doesn't mind a little more time.

Carrying a burden like Xia Ningyan, no matter how infatuated he is, he will give up due to the increasing pressure, especially with her persuasion.

Sooner or later, Lu Xuan will face the facts, give up pursuing that unrealistic, castle in the air love, and turn into her arms.

Fan Qianyue could never understand why Lu Xuan, whom she had raised for such a long time, would fall in love with Xia Ningyan, who was the same age as her, and did not appreciate the kindness of her master.

If it's because of her appearance, she is not bad. Compared to a poor little girl, isn't it better to eat her own food comfortably?

".I will not give up on him until he gives up on me. If that day comes, I will not blame him, but only blame myself for being useless."

Xia Ningyan slowly raised her head and looked at Fan Qianyue with firm eyes, expressing her determination.

"You are so sharp-tongued. You stole my things and then you blame me. I am now the bad guy."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qianyue snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and moved Xia Ningyan to the corner of the cave.

"I've given you the chance. Don't say I don't respect the relationship between master and disciple. When the competition comes, you will lose your status as a true disciple.

From now on, I will no longer provide you with any help. Whether you can awaken your Dao body depends on your own luck."

After hearing this, Xia Ningyan said nothing more, but just closed her eyes silently, sat cross-legged and meditated, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.——
Daoyanzong, Dengxian Square
Clusters of stalls and bustling crowds are scattered across the square; this is a trading place organized by the disciples themselves to exchange various resources.

Lu Xuan fell from mid-air on his sword. Looking at the golden talisman paper in his hand, he sighed helplessly.

The Xuan-level top-grade talisman that I just got has not been in my hands for long. It has not even warmed up yet, but I have to exchange it for money. This Gengjin sword talisman has the power equivalent to the full force of a late Jindan cultivator, and it is in excellent condition, so it can definitely be sold at a good price.

We will go to kill the big monster soon. With Ling Xiao here, we don’t have to worry about the offense, but supplies are still very important.

You have to exchange some pills for replenishing mana and healing injuries in case of emergency.

"Brother, what are you doing here alone~"

Suddenly, an ethereal and clear voice sounded in his ears. Lu Xuan looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Liu Mengyao looking at him with a smile.

"Junior sister, why are you here?"

Lu Xuan asked with some confusion. He didn't know why his little junior sister always came to him when he was alone.

"I was bored staying in the peak. Meditation and cultivation were really boring, so I thought of going out for a walk.

After thinking about it, this is the only lively place in the sect. Brother, is there anything you want here?"

Liu Mengyao put her hands behind her back, tilted her head slightly, and explained with a smile.

"Yes, in order to protect Ningyan's salary, I have to complete the sect's mission for her. I will be leaving in a few days, and I plan to use this talisman to exchange for some elixirs."

Taking out the talisman in his hand and shaking it, Lu Xuan scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Is that so? Why don't you sell the talisman to me? As for the pills, I can give you a discount.

These are some fourth-grade Soul Gathering Pills and Blood Restoring Pills."

As she spoke, Liu Mengyao took out a few white porcelain bottles from the storage device on her wrist.

"Hey? This is just a top-grade Xuan-level talisman. Are you sure, Junior Sister?"

After seeing this, Lu Xuan's eyes lit up. The talisman in his hand could be exchanged for half of these pills at most. This was not just an ordinary discount, it was a huge discount.

"Of course, I just made them casually anyway, so they're not worth much. If you need them, I'll give them to you at a lower price.

But I have a condition. "

"What conditions?"

Lu Xuan frowned subconsciously. His junior sister always spoke half of her words.

"Brother, do you have anyone to accompany you on this mission? If so, who is that person?

I need to understand clearly what to do if the other party has bad intentions. "

Liu Mengyao looked at Lu Xuan with concern and worry in her eyes, which made people feel a little heartbroken.

Lu Xuan was also a little unable to resist, his frown immediately relaxed, and then he spoke softly.

".Junior sister, don't worry. This time, Senior Brother has invited a powerful person. You know the chief of Piao Miao Peak, right?

Her Heaven-Severing Sword Technique is indeed powerful, and her reputation within the sect is well known to all. Going on a mission with her is the safest option."

"Oh, it turns out to be Senior Sister Ling Xiao."

Hearing this, Liu Mengyao's eyes immediately became empty.

It turned out that the senior brother was discussing this matter with Ling Xiao on the martial arts stage before, but how could a true disciple of the Nascent Soul stage help a Golden Core disciple complete the task?
There is definitely a big problem here. Ling Xiao definitely has bad intentions.
