43: Luo Qinghuang's ginseng! The clown is actually me!

Inside Yuhua Sect, the news of Chen Yi being named a Saint had already caused a huge stir, and many people knew about it.

Everyone found it unbelievable.

Because Chen Yi had only joined Yuhua Sect a few months ago, and now he was a Saint on equal footing with Luo Qinghuang?

Some Disciples who greatly admired Luo Qinghuang were a bit displeased.

"The Saintess only became a Saintess after making many great contributions to our Yuhua Sect, so why Chen Yi?"

"Exactly? Just because he's handsome? Just because he has good talent? Just because he's strong? Just because his swordplay is superb? Just because he's first in the Sequence Competition? Just because he has three great phenomena? Just because he…"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Your eyes are already red and bloodshot, and your Face is screaming 'jealousy'!"

"Jealousy truly distorts one's appearance, it's real!"

"Hilarious, you've already explained why he became a Saint!"

Some were displeased, but of course, there were also those who supported him.

It's worth noting that most of the Disciples who fully supported Chen Yi becoming a Saint were, for some reason, female.

Especially Bai Ling and Li Yuan, who even established a 'Chen Yi Fan Club' and dedicated themselves to promoting Chen Yi every day.

This included, but was not limited to, 'The Benefits of Chen Yi Becoming a Saint', 'How Chen Yi's Beauty Ranks in the Cultivation World', and 'Chen Yi's Waist-to-Hip Ratio'.

In their eyes, Chen Yi was full of advantage from head to toe.

However, whether the Disciples were happy or not, it was all useless, because Chen Yi becoming a Saint was already a foregone conclusion.

Following this, Yu Hua Sect Master announced another matter, which further boosted Chen Yi's prestige in Yuhua Sect by a large margin, and that was…

"Saint Chen Yi, yesterday, unearthed a Supreme Law for our Sect! This is truly commendable. This Supreme Law has now been recorded in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion, and anyone who is qualified to cultivate it may go and examine it!"

Yu Hua Sect Master directly issued a notice and hung it on the announcement board.

The Disciples gasped.

He just became a Saint and already unearthed a Supreme Law, making such a huge contribution to Yuhua Sect. Is he not Heaven-Defying enough?

Some suspected it was a show.

Not real.

But some immediately went to the Cultivation Technique Pavilion to check and found that there indeed was a new Supreme Law, and all those who questioned it shut up.

"Haha, Saint is awesome!"

"As soon as he took office as Saint, he immediately contributed a Supreme Law to our Yuhua Sect. I ask, who else can do that?"

"Exactly! The Saint's contribution is beyond doubt!"

"He's too amazing, I can only say he truly lives up to being a Saint!"

"There's a reason why he can be a Saint."

On the other side.

Zhao Qing was lying down resting in his residence.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at a Disciple next to him.

When that Disciple saw him wake up, he immediately stepped forward to help him up, "Senior Brother Zhao, you're finally awake. You've been unconscious for a day and a night."

The scene Zhao Qing saw before he fainted flashed in his mind.

Fire.

Boundless flames enveloped him!

That was the ultimate sword strike Chen Yi unleashed!

That one sword, even two of him couldn't resist, he could only be defeated!

He took a deep breath and asked, "How was the Sequence Competition?"

"To Senior Brother, the Sequence Competition has ended."

"Am I on the list?"

"Yes, you are still ninth."

Zhao Qing nodded slightly, satisfied with this result. Then he asked, "What rank is Chen Yi?"

He knew that, based on the strength Chen Yi displayed in their battle, it was almost a certainty that the other party would become a Sequence Disciple.

The Disciple shook his head upon hearing this, "He is not on the list."

Zhao Qing was stunned upon hearing this.

How could that be?

Given the strength the other party displayed at the time, he shouldn't have failed to rank.

Could there have been some mistake?

But no matter what, the fact that the other party was not on the list and did not become a Sequence Disciple still made him extremely happy.

"Haha, Chen Yi actually didn't become a Sequence Disciple! I knew that a newcomer who just joined Yuhua Sect not long ago couldn't possibly become a Sequence Disciple!" Zhao Qing laughed heartily, very pleased.

He felt as if his Physical Body didn't hurt as much anymore.

The Disciple next to him hesitated for a moment, then said, "Senior Brother Zhao, although Junior Brother Chen Yi is not on the list, but, but…"

"But what? Don't stammer."

"But Junior Brother Chen Yi, he became a Saint!"

The Disciple said.

He saw Zhao Qing's smile instantly freeze on his Face, then his expression changed several times, and finally, with a 'poof', he directly spat out a mouthful of blood.

He fell back onto the bed and fainted again.

The Disciple was a bit flustered and hurriedly went out to call for help.

"Oh no, Senior Brother Zhao has fainted again!"

… … … …

Chen Yi didn't care much about what was happening outside.

After he became a Saint, he didn't feel much change. Returning to Wuqing Peak, he took out a bottle of Dragon Tiger Pills and began to cultivate.

He ate the Medicinal Pills one by one, strengthening his Physical Body.

However, his Physical Body was already very strong, and by the end of eating the Dragon Tiger Pills, they were no longer of much help to him.

Looking at the two remaining Dragon Tiger Pills, and then at the Crimson Dragon Horse doing push-ups not far away, he walked over and threw the Medicinal Pills to him.

"They're for you."

The Crimson Dragon Horse's eyes lit up as he looked at the Medicinal Pills.

He knew that he had gained sentience and become a Crimson Dragon Horse precisely because of a Medicinal Pill Chen Yi had given him before, and now the other party was giving him Medicinal Pills again.

He eagerly took one and ate it.

Then he felt a warm current surging through his body, and his bones made creaking sounds, becoming much tougher.

And his strength also increased!

"Hmph!"

The Crimson Dragon Horse threw a punch, causing a sonic boom in the air.

He looked at Chen Yi with glowing eyes, "Master! No wonder your strength is so great, it turns out you've been secretly taking drugs!"

"Nonsense!"

Chen Yi lightly scolded, "I was clearly taking them openly!"

After giving the Dragon Tiger Pills, which were not very useful to him, to the Crimson Dragon Horse, Chen Yi then planned to refine that thousand-year fire ginseng!

But at this moment.

Luo Qinghuang suddenly arrived.

Chen Yi saw her and went to greet her, "Greetings, Senior Sister."

Luo Qinghuang smiled slightly, "You are now a Saint, your status is equal to mine. You can actually just call me by my name."

"No, I'm used to calling you Senior Sister."

"Hmm, that's fine too."

Luo Qinghuang glanced at Chen Yi's room and asked, "By the way, what are you planning to eat for lunch today? Can I stay for a meal?"

"Sorry, I haven't bought any groceries today."

"Then let's go buy them together."

"I don't want to go out right now."

"Oh… then never mind." Luo Qinghuang nodded. She looked at Chen Yi, opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But then she lowered her head, looking at the grass, and fiddled with the corner of her clothes.

Chen Yi looked at her, feeling that she was a bit strange today.

As if she had something to say.

"Senior Sister, are you looking for me because you have something to discuss?"

Chen Yi asked straightforwardly.

Luo Qinghuang coughed, then said, "Yes, I do have something today. Do you remember when you participated in the Sequence Competition, I told you that if you could achieve a ranking, I would give you a gift."

"I remember now. So Senior Sister is here to give me a gift today."

Chen Yi suddenly understood.

He also said, "It's a pity, I didn't achieve any ranking in this Sequence Competition, I just became a Saint."

The ranking he was referring to was like Sequence One, Sequence Two, and so on.

He wasn't a Sequence Disciple now.

Luo Qinghuang rolled her eyes, "If those Sequence Disciples heard what you just said, who knows how they would rough you up."

"It's fine, they can't beat me."

Chen Yi said.

Luo Qinghuang shook her head, unable to refute.

Then, she flipped her hand and took out a wooden box from her storage ring, "Inside this is the treasure I want to give you!

This item is rare and precious! I obtained it during my travels, and it is also a Yang-attribute treasure, which will be of great benefit to you!"

After speaking, she opened the box.

Chen Yi looked expectantly, only to see a…

Fire ginseng!

In terms of size, it was not as large as the thousand-year fire ginseng he had obtained from the treasure vault, and it was also missing a section, incomplete.

Luo Qinghuang continued, "This fire ginseng is nearly a thousand years old, and it is a top-tier Yang-attribute treasure in the world! It's just a pity that when I encountered this item, there was also a Yao Beast that had its eyes on it!

I fought with it, and although I ultimately obtained this item, it was also affected during the battle and lost a section. But even so, it will still be of considerable use to you. Consider it a congratulatory gift for your promotion to Saint."

She had a smile on her Face.

In her heart, this fire ginseng was more than just a congratulatory gift.

It also carried her feelings.

To call it a betrothal gift would not be an exaggeration at all.

First, give a gift to win Junior Brother's favor!

Then, take the opportunity to confess and win him over in one fell swoop!!

This was Luo Qinghuang's plan!

But soon, her brows furrowed slightly, because she noticed that Chen Yi, after seeing the fire ginseng, did not show the joyful and excited expression she had imagined. On the contrary, his expression was very calm.

It was as if what lay before him was not a thousand-year fire ginseng that could greatly advance his cultivation, but an ordinary ginseng.

Luo Qinghuang asked, "What? Junior Brother, do you look down on this item?"

"How could that be? Senior Sister's gift, I am endlessly grateful."

Chen Yi said, and he was being truthful.

No matter what, the fact that Luo Qinghuang could give him such a treasure showed how much she valued him. How could he dislike it?

"But you don't look very surprised."

Luo Qinghuang said, emphasizing again, "This item is rare, it's probably impossible to find a second one in the entire Qingluo Province!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi pondered whether he should take out his own thousand-year fire ginseng to let his Senior Sister see it.

But would that make Senior Sister lose Face?

While Chen Yi was pondering, the Crimson Dragon Horse beside him walked up and looked at the fire ginseng Luo Qinghuang had taken out, saying in surprise, "Eh, isn't this the ginseng Master brought back yesterday?? No, why did it shrink?

And it's missing a piece! Master, did you eat it?"

Yesterday, when Chen Yi came back with the ginseng, the Crimson Dragon Horse had curiously taken a look, and he thought the one Luo Qinghuang was holding was the same one.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chen Yi with confusion.

And Luo Qinghuang, upon hearing this, was also a bit surprised. She asked, "You, look carefully again, are you sure it's this one!"

"Yes, it's a thousand-year fire ginseng!"

Luo Qinghuang stared at Chen Yi, "Junior Brother, what's going on?"

"Uh… yesterday when I went to the treasure vault, I also took a thousand-year fire ginseng!" Chen Yi saw that he couldn't hide it, so he directly took out the ginseng.

A more scorching aura permeated the air.

Whether it was its appearance, age, or medicinal power, it was all a big step above the fire ginseng in Luo Qinghuang's hand!

Luo Qinghuang's mouth twitched. Good heavens…

Here she was saying that a second one couldn't be found in Qingluo Province…

The clown was actually myself!!
