I cut off my love, and my senior brother and master regretted it.

Chapter 5 Lin Shuang
Fan Li wanted to talk to Ning Ruoxi, but was stopped by Jiang Xi, "Second Brother, I don't quite understand some of the cultivation insights that Master talked about. Can you teach me again?"

"This... okay!" Fan Li was a little embarrassed, but looking at Jiang Xi's pitiful appearance, he couldn't refuse.

"Second Brother is the best!" Jiang Xi cheered.

Ning Ruoxi quickly left Wanling Peak. Along the way, many people pointed at her and talked about her. She never expected to become famous in this way.

But it doesn’t matter.

The path to cultivating immortals is inevitably accompanied by loneliness. Too much interaction with others will lead to too many concerns, which will affect one's spiritual heart.

"It's a rare opportunity to leave the cave today, why not go to the sect bazaar?" Ning Ruoxi has been cultivating for so many days, and her progress in cultivation has been very slow. It is estimated that further seclusion will not be of much use.

This also shows that talent is really important if you want to cultivate immortality.

The sect bazaar is organized by each disciple themselves. Everyone can sell some items they don’t need in it. They can shop with spirit stones or exchange items for other items.

Ning Ruoxi wanted to exchange some spirit stones. She had five medium-grade spirit stones on her. With her current level of cultivation, she could not absorb the spiritual power in the medium-grade spirit stones, but she could absorb it if she exchanged them for low-grade spirit stones.

"It's really lively!" There were disciples from the seven peaks of the Xiandao Sect in the sect bazaar. The probability of Ning Ruoxi being recognized by the disciples of Wanling Peak here was much smaller.

The disciples between the seven peaks do not communicate with each other, and rarely visit each other unless there are activities such as sect conferences.

Ning Ruoxi saw some people selling spiritual weapons, some selling spiritual treasures. In short, there were many varieties, and she had no idea whether they were worth the price.

"Hmm?" The spiritual power in Ning Ruoxi's body inexplicably began to become active, as if something was guiding her.

She walked to a stall and stopped. The spiritual power in her body became more active, and it would have exploded if it had not been suppressed.

Ning Ruoxi activated her skills to suppress the fluctuations in her spiritual power. A jade pendant on the stall attracted her attention, as if the fluctuations in her spiritual power were related to this jade pendant.

"How much is this jade pendant?" Ning Ruoxi asked the stall owner.

The stall owner was a young man who looked about 17 or 18 years old. He said to Ning Ruoxi, "I don't know what effect this jade pendant has. I found it in a secret place. I'll sell it to you for 50 low-grade spirit stones!"

Ning Ruoxi frowned, "You don't even know what effect it has, so why sell it for fifty low-grade spirit stones? You're trying to steal the spirit stones!"

"Then how much do you want?" The young man actually knew that he was asking for too much, but the price of things was always raised high, so if he thought it was too expensive, he could bargain!

"A low-grade spiritual stone."

The young man's face darkened. "Girl, you're bargaining too hard, aren't you? Why don't you ask me to give you the jade pendant?"

Ning Ruoxi nodded, "It's not impossible, then are you willing to give it to me?"

"..." The young man asked tentatively: "Ten low-grade spirit stones?"

"Deal!" Ning Ruoxi agreed readily.

The young man's mouth twitched, it seemed that the price he quoted was too low.

Ning Ruoxi took out a middle-grade spirit stone, and the young man was a little embarrassed, "I don't have that many low-grade spirit stones here!"

"How about you pick something else?"

"Other things?" Ning Ruoxi looked at the rest of the items on the stall. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were just junk metal. It didn't look like there were any valuables in them.

"Forget it, just this sword!"

Ning Ruoxi pointed at a long sword at random.

The young man took a look and said, "This is a lower-grade yellow-level spirit sword. Is it not too expensive to sell it to you for fifty lower-grade spirit stones?"

"Not expensive!" Ning Ruoxi knew that this was the price of a lower-grade yellow spiritual weapon.

"I'll give you forty low-grade spirit stones."

The young man took out a spirit stone from his storage bag and gave it to Ning Ruoxi.

"Girl, come often when you have time!" Ning Ruoxi rolled her eyes, "Then you have to prepare some good treasures."

"You came late today. The good treasures have been picked up by others. Come earlier next time if you have a chance."

When the young man saw that Ning Ruoxi could take out a mid-grade spirit stone, he guessed that her identity or financial resources must be extraordinary, so he said these few more words.

Ning Ruoxi nodded, "There's a chance."

Afterwards, Ning Ruoxi found a place to exchange spirit stones. One medium-grade spirit stone was exchanged for one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and five low-grade spirit stones were deducted as handling fees for every medium-grade spirit stone.

Now she only has 420 low-grade spirit stones left.

After leaving the sect bazaar, Ning Ruoxi returned to the cave. She took out the jade pendant she had bought and examined it carefully. The spiritual power in her body gradually began to fluctuate again. There was definitely something strange about this jade pendant.

Ning Ruoxi tried to transfer a stream of spiritual energy into the jade pendant, and the jade pendant emitted light.

Suddenly, the surrounding scenery changed, and she found herself in a glacier with a white figure on the top of the glacier.

The figure seemed to have also seen Ning Ruoxi and approached her like a ghost.

Ning Ruoxi subconsciously reached into her arms, trying to take out a spiritual weapon from her storage bag, but found nothing.

"Where's my storage bag?"

The white figure was within reach, and Ning Ruoxi could see the true appearance of the white figure.

This is a woman. She is wearing a long dress as white as snow. She has a delicate and beautiful face and skin as white as mutton-fat jade.

"Hello!" The woman smiled at Ning Ruoxi.

Ning Ruoxi didn't dare to let her guard down, "Who are you?"

The woman explained: "My name is Lin Shuang. I have no ill will towards you. I was the one who influenced the spiritual power in your body before."

"Where is this place? Wasn't I in the cave just now?"

Lin Shuang nodded, "You are also in the cave now. This is the space inside the jade pendant, a false land. I just pulled your consciousness in."

"Why are you pulling my consciousness in?" Ning Ruoxi looked at Lin Shuang in confusion.

"I want to take you as my apprentice, what do you think?"

"Take me as your apprentice? What do you want?"

"What you see now is just a remnant of my soul. I want to take you in as my disciple. You can help me avenge my death when you have the chance."

Ning Ruoxi frowned. It sounded a bit dangerous and thankless!

"No need, I can practice on my own."

"No, the method you used to practice was wrong, so your cultivation level improved very slowly."

Lin Shuang's eyes sparkled, "You clearly have a single-line ice spiritual root, but your cultivation speed is the same as that of a mixed spiritual root. Don't you want to know the reason?"

Ning Ruoxi's expression was somewhat moved. Lin Shuang was right. In theory, a person with a single spiritual root would have a high talent for cultivation and would improve his realm quickly.

But her realm improved very slowly, not at all at a normal speed, and she was criticized for being lazy by her senior brothers and master because of this.

In fact, it is not the case. Ning Ruoxi practices very hard on weekdays.

"Your talent has been buried. Please accept me as your master and I will teach you how to practice!"

Lin Shuang's words rang in Ning Ruoxi's ears like a spell, and Ning Ruoxi's heart was moved.
