Chapter 283 If You're Going to Cultivate, Cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness 10
Ji Chaoxi's forehead was already soaked with sweat, and she didn't have the strength to fix it. She just gritted her teeth and carried water back and forth, feeling a burning pain in her shoulders.
Liuli, sitting to the side, had tears streaming down her face. She ate snacks while wiping away her tears, not daring to cry out loud.
Those girls are so hardworking.
The old man is so unfair; he really didn't give their young lady any spiritual roots.
However, the Second Elder said that their young lady has a hidden spiritual root. When will this hidden spiritual root become manifest?
"Senior Brother, are there three loads left...?"
Ji Chaoxi's face was flushed red from the sun, her legs trembled with every step, and sweat had soaked her eyelashes. She could only move forward by habit.
Liuli cried even harder. Their young lady was so amazing! This was the path their young lady had taken.
She cried as she looked to see if Wen Shubai's face showed any expression of admiration.
Wen Shubai's expression remained unchanged. Whether it was when Ji Chaoxi carried the first load or now, his face still held that gentle expression.
Every disciple of the Heavenly Annihilation Sect went through this process.
As the last bucket of water was poured into the vat, the carrying pole fell to the ground, and Ji Chaoxi, exhausted, lay down on the grass next to her.
She was panting heavily, her hair sticking to her face, and she looked extremely disheveled. She really hadn't expected to be able to pick them all out.
Liuli quickly ran over to wipe Ji Chaoxi's sweat, saying between tears, "Miss, you are the pride of our Ji family."
With so many buckets of water, Miss will be able to carry pigs herself from now on.
"Junior Sister, don't fall asleep. Falling asleep with your heart rate too fast will harm your health," Wen Shubai said in a gentle voice.
He separated a wisp of spiritual energy, which flowed into her forehead and took away the excruciating pain in her head. Her breathing gradually became steady, but he deliberately left her with the soreness in her shoulders and the pain in her legs.
As Wen Shubai was about to withdraw his spiritual energy, he sensed something unusual about her body. He paused for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
On the way back to the courtyard, Ji Chaoxi tentatively asked.
"Senior Brother, can I go to train in spiritual energy with the other disciples tomorrow?"
She's starting to show some talent now.
"Senior Brother, I really want to go. I don't want to always watch the other disciples practice," Ji Chaoxi whispered.
Yesterday, a disciple mocked her for always practicing the most basic things and never participating in any Reiki training.
Wen Shubai listened quietly. After hearing Ji Chaoxi's words, he said softly, "Junior Sister, why do you suddenly want to practice spiritual energy with the other junior brothers and sisters?"
Ji Chaoxi looked expectant: "Senior Brother, didn't you always say I have talent? I want to see if I have talent in other areas as well."
Wen Shubai hesitated after listening.
Liuli didn't know what Wen Shubai was silent about.
Let the young lady participate directly; her daughter is incredibly talented!
As Wen Shubai hesitated, Ji Chaoxi's heart grew colder and colder. She knew it, she knew that what her senior brother had said was a lie...
She really wasn't a genius...
"Then let's give it a try."
Wen Shubai looked at Ji Chaoxi, who had suddenly become dejected, and smiled gently at her.
Since she wants to go so much, and she has the relevant magical artifacts.
If I refuse my junior sister, I might hurt her pride.
The next day finally arrived. The fog had not yet dissipated. Hundreds of disciples stood by the Jade Lake, where thousands of illusory lotus flowers floated on the surface.
The instructor immediately spotted Ji Chaoxi at the back of the line. She frowned as she looked at the clothes Ji Chaoxi was wearing.
Whose disciple is that? Why isn't he wearing a dharma robe?
Ji Chaoxi sensitively noticed the instructor elder's gaze; moreover, she couldn't ignore it, as the instructor elder kept glaring at her...
Just as Ji Chaoxi was wondering if the teaching elder had seen through her lack of spiritual roots, Wen Shubai walked over and said something.
The instructor frowned, but his gaze no longer lingered on Ji Chaoxi.
Wen Shubai met Ji Chaoxi's expectant gaze from not far away and smiled, nodding at her.
"It's lotus blossoms again. I fell down last time, and the instructor elder was furious..."
"Ignore her, that's just her temper."
The disciples behind them were all newcomers, and compared to the disciples in front, they had not yet fully integrated into the Tianjue Sect.
The disciples in front wore moon-white robes. Their toes lightly touched the illusory lotus flowers. Their movements were light and graceful. They leaped like feathers and landed without making a sound.
The disciples floated over one by one, and soon reached the back rows.
Ji Chaoxi was very nervous, but the new disciple next to her was pale, as if he was about to faint from fright.
"continue."
Seeing that no one stepped forward, the instructor's expression immediately turned ugly.
"If you don't want to practice, then leave the Heavenly Extinction Sect," the instructor elder said sternly.
Ji Chaoxi was almost scared to death by the teaching elder. If she had known this would happen, she would have let her senior brother teach her alone.
She couldn't help but look at Wen Shubai next to the teaching elder. Wen Shubai met her gaze, paused for a moment, and when he saw her pitiful eyes, a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Gu Wuyou, continue." The instructor's tone grew even colder.
Ji Chaoxi then realized that the man next to her whose legs were shaking like a sieve was named Gu Wuyou.
He swallowed nervously, and walked tremblingly to the side of Jade Lake. He stretched out his leg, gathering all his spiritual power at his toes.
"How long are you going to hesitate!" The instructor was already getting impatient.
Gu Wuyou closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stepped onto the platform. As soon as he stepped on it, the spiritual energy beneath his feet dissipated, and he fell into the water with a "plop".
Before the instructor elder could even speak, he immediately climbed out of the water, not daring to waste a single moment.
"Junior Brother Wuyou, don't be nervous. Point your toes downwards three-tenths of an inch, and spread your spiritual energy evenly. You're condensing your energy but not gathering it," Wen Shubai's gentle voice rang out.
Gu Wuyou didn't dare to speak to the teaching elder. He stammered, "Senior Brother, can I practice on the side first before trying?"
Wen Shubai smiled and nodded: "Then you should first observe how your fellow disciples train."
Gu Wuyou immediately shrank to the side.
The other disciples made their way across in a chaotic and disorganized manner, with two of them even falling into the water along the way, but at least they made it across.
The last one was Ji Chaoxi. The teaching elder looked at Ji Chaoxi's clothes and frowned again.
Gu Wuyou, who was behind him, was praying silently. He had met Ji Chaoxi before. She had always followed his senior brother to train her physical strength. Her spiritual power was definitely worse than his.
If only she were like him later, he really wouldn't dare face the teaching elders alone.
Gu Wuyou stared at Ji Chaoxi's back, so nervous she almost vomited.
