Am I the only good person in this cultivation world?

"Hmm, not bad."

Master Jinli responded with a drawn-out voice, shaking his head, and then turned to look at Su Yao:

"Yao'er, you've made a good disciple. To be so composed and polite in the face of a Nascent Soul cultivator—putting everything else aside, this temperament alone is far superior to your previous disciples!"

Yao Han's expression remained unchanged, but a sense of helplessness arose in his heart.

If he hadn't had previous experience dealing with Nascent Soul cultivators, he wouldn't have been able to say these polite words so smoothly.

Normally, a Qi Refining cultivator would be lucky if they weren't startled when they suddenly saw a Nascent Soul.

After all, Nascent Soul cultivators are not so easy to find in this world. It's just that he always seems to stumble into the circle of high-level cultivators every now and then.

I don't know if this luck is good or bad.

Su Yao raised her eyebrows slightly and replied with a smile:

"Since Master finds my new disciple agreeable, why not give him a little something as a token of our acquaintance?"

"Hmm? Well... well, he is your disciple after all, not mine. The master should naturally give the initiation gift!"

The old man stroked his beard, glanced elsewhere, his eyes darting around several times before settling back in his seat, and answered with a dry laugh.

Yao Han wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to hold it back.

Everyone says that Nascent Soul cultivators have all sorts of eccentric personalities, but this is the first time he's ever seen a Nascent Soul cultivator this stingy.

"Alright, alright, since we're already here, let's go inside the cave and have a seat."

Seeing that his disciple was still looking at him with a half-smile, Master Jinli quickly changed the subject, took a step forward, and disappeared from the spot.

"Please, Master."

"it is good."

The two walked together toward the door.

Upon entering the hall, Jin Li and Su Yao sat down at the tea table. Yao Han used magic to heat up a pot of tea and served it to the two of them.

Su Yao picked up her teacup and looked around:

"You've tidied up really fast. We haven't been here long, and the house is already so clean and has so many new things. If I remember correctly, this island probably hasn't been cleaned in a hundred years."

"Master, you flatter me. I was just a little too diligent."

Yao Han skillfully stirred the tea leaves at the table:

"This disciple is penniless and has nothing of value on him, nor any spiritual tea or fruit. He can only offer this ordinary tea to entertain us. Please forgive him, Grandmaster and Master."

"It's fine, it's good to change things up once in a while."

Master Jinli raised his cup, took a small sip, and then gently put it down.

"After four hundred years, Feixia Island has finally welcomed another disciple with both metal and water spiritual roots. I can rest assured that the Feixia lineage has not been broken in my hands."

With a flick of his wrist, a golden light flashed, and a round, lock-shaped jade slip appeared in his hand, faintly glowing.

Yao Han didn't take it without permission, because Jin Li Shangren didn't give it to him directly, but handed it to Su Yao. The latter nodded seriously, took the jade slip, and with a wave of her hand, placed several items on the table:

"Although I have already told you the name of this cultivation technique, you will have to wait until you have established your foundation before you can formally practice it. Whether you can obtain this opportunity depends on your future efforts."

"Among these bottles of pills, one contains Foundation Establishment Pills, and there are also Pulse Suppressing Pills, Spirit Condensing Powder, and other items. These are all pills that can help with Foundation Establishment. Please accept them. After you successfully establish your Foundation and your realm is stable, you can come to my cave to find me. At that time, I will teach you the 'Nine Nether Profound Gold True Explanation'."

Yao Han straightened his back and bowed with his hands clasped in greeting:

"Understood. Thank you, Master, for the medicine. I will diligently cultivate and establish my foundation as soon as possible, living up to your expectations!"

"Um."

Su Yao nodded:

"On the way here, I'm sure Tingyu has already told you about all the affairs of the sect, so I don't need to repeat myself. Do you have any other questions?... Don't worry, if there's anything else you need, just ask."

Yao Han pondered for a moment:

"This disciple does have a few questions, and I humbly request Master's clarification."

"you say."

"...Previously in that main hall, Elder Fu from Burning Bamboo Island seemed to have a strong prejudice against me, even though I've only just entered the sect..."

Before Yao Han could finish speaking, Su Yao interrupted him with a soft laugh:

"So that's what you're worried about. Did Tingyu tell you some lies again?"

"Anyway, we'll all be family from now on, so I won't lie to you. Junior Sister Fu doesn't have any issues with you; she's just putting on a show for me and Senior Brother Chen Zhen... oh, I mean Senior Brother Chen Huan from Hidden Star Island."

"The Hidden Star lineage is good at business, and Senior Brother Chen is also quite wealthy. Junior Sister Fu intends to form a marriage alliance with the Chen family of Hidden Star and betroth her disciple to a member of the Chen family, but she has not yet received their consent. 'Stealing a disciple' is a pretense, and her real intention is to curry favor with Senior Brother Chen. She is just expressing her stance and testing the waters."

"Why would anyone bother you, a Qi Refining disciple who hasn't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage? If they were to cause trouble, they would come after us."

"As for the recent rumors circulating on the island about the 'Star Faction' and 'Mist Faction' conflict, I have also heard about them. They are all nonsense, just the idle talk of some low-ranking disciples. It is true that there is a balance of power among the various factions of the Water Moon Palace, but the interpersonal relationships within are more complicated than these disciples think, and cannot be summarized in a few words."

"Your senior sister Fang is something else. All she does is run around all day. I think she's no different from Fu Xiaowan of Fenzhu. If she had put more effort into cultivation, her cultivation wouldn't have been surpassed by Wen'er. Looks like we'll have to put her in solitary confinement again."

"You must never follow her example. Since my master and I have decided to pass on the cultivation method to you, it is because we have high hopes for you. A cultivator must never neglect their practice, and as for these trivial matters within the sect, do not concern yourself with them."

Yao Han suddenly realized what was going on and returned the greeting with a cupped hand:

"I see, thank you for your guidance, Master."

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for Fang Tingyu; it seemed this girl was going to suffer a bit.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Yao Han took a deep breath, his expression turned serious, and finally told the two about the "cultivation issue" that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.

……

"Ten levels of Qi Refining?"

Master Jinli frowned, slowly stood up from his seat, and came to Yao Han's side, his divine sense sweeping over him one wave after another.

Yao Han did not resist and let him do as he pleased.

His brows furrowed more and more. After probing with his divine sense, he placed his palm on Yao Han's shoulder and used his magic power to probe directly.

"When I was outside the door, I noticed that your magical power was much stronger than that of an ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator. I thought you had cultivated some special technique... However, the tenth level of Qi Refining is too far-fetched... Yao'er, come and take a look."

"Yes, Master."

Su Yao placed her hand on Yao Han's other shoulder. As she stood up, a delicate fragrance wafted over, like jasmine in bloom, elegant and sweet.

Two streams of magical power entered his body at the same time, but Yao Han did not feel any discomfort. After all, both of them were high-level cultivators and acted with great restraint.

"According to what you just said, you used to cultivate the Fiery Light Technique, but later you switched to a body-refining technique, right?"

Yao Han smiled wryly:

"Yes. I never expected that this spur-of-the-moment decision would actually work, and now I'm at a loss for what to do."

"Interesting. This is the first time I've encountered such a situation in all my years of cultivation."
