Chapter 996 - 996 Pretending
Yan Jinfeng had long awakened her spirit and she was now in the Spirit Building realm, so she did not need to awaken her spirit anymore. On the surface, she was the strongest and most outstanding among all the new disciples.
But that was only on the surface. In fact…
Although Xue Fanxin’s cultivation level was not above Elder Qiu’s, her strength was much stronger than his. However, she still put on a show. When Elder Qiu helped her awaken her spirit, she revealed her cultivation level to the Spirit Awakening Realm and tried her best to hide the power in her body, not letting Elder Qiu notice anything.
Elder Qiu was very careful when he helped Xue Fanxin awaken her spirit. He wanted to know what kind of abnormal performance Xue Fanxin would have, but the outcome disappointed him.
This new disciple who had been chosen by Master Xianyang was no different from the other new disciples. Apart from having the Extreme Water Spirit Vein, she had no other advantages.
He really did not know why Master Xianyang had taken a fancy to such an ordinary girl. He did not feel anything at all when he said that her courage and intelligence were extraordinary.
However, all of this did not matter. If the higher-ups wanted him to take good care of this new disciple, he had to take good care of her. He could not let Master Xianyang have any chance to take her away from the Flowing Cloud Sect.
“Very good. You have already successfully awakened your spirit and entered the Spirit Awakening Realm. From this moment on, you are cultivators. You can gradually become stronger through your own cultivation. Next, each of you will obtain a Marrow Cleansing Pill and can enter the Marrow Cleansing Bath to undergo the purest Marrow Cleansing.
“The process of Marrow Cleansing is abnormally painful. This requires your strong willpower to bear with it, or it will greatly affect the effects of the Marrow Cleansing.
“Everyone, follow me now.”
Under Elder Qiu’s lead, everyone came to a pool emitting white gas.
The spirit energy in the pool was very rich. Just by taking a deep breath, one could sense that a lot of spirit energy had been sucked into their dantian.
“This is the Marrow Cleansing Bath. Now, everyone can come to me to receive a Marrow Cleansing Pill and soak in the Marrow Cleansing Bath for at least an hour.”
Elder Qiu distributed the pills and watched as the new disciples entered the Marrow Cleansing Bath one by one and soaked themselves in it. He watched as they endured the pain of cleansing their marrows and meridians in the pool.
Although Yan Jinfeng was already in the Spirit Building realm, she had never taken a Marrow Cleansing Pill or soaked in the Marrow Cleansing Bath, so she was abnormally excited at this moment. While enduring the pain of Marrow Cleansing, she still had the mood to observe Xue Fanxin.
No matter what, she had to be the most outstanding new disciple. She would not let anyone compare to her.
However, this kind of cleansing was already a thing of the past to Xue Fanxin. However, for the sake of the big picture, she still had to pretend in case Elder Qiu became suspicious.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill that Elder Qiu had given her just now, coupled with the current Marrow Cleansing Bath, such a precious thing could only be enjoyed by geniuses from aristocratic families or sects. It was really puzzling that a new disciple who had just entered the sect could obtain such treatment like them.
Why had the Flowing Cloud Sect nurtured so many new disciples?
These new disciples were like a piece of relatively high-grade raw meat that was being cooked perfectly. Once it was out of the pot, it would be on the table. At that time, it would be the time of their death.
How could she escape from the Flowing Cloud Sect?
If she ran directly, she would be easily discovered. At that time, if she was no match for him and was captured, the outcome would be very tragic.
