Chapter 194: Chapter 193: Truly His Disciple

Xuanyuan You held his head high and his chest puffed out, the center of attention as he turned in his Sect mission and also received a large number of Contribution Points, grinning like an idiot.

This was an unprecedented highlight for him.

He never thought he’d have a day like this, so splendid was the occasion.

Xuanyuan You shifted over to make room for Xie Jiuniang, "Little Profiteer, it’s your turn now."

"I know."

Xie Jiuniang calmly took out the Secret Realm Jade Token and also handed over the Rootless Vine and the Witch Demon Flowers, a total of thirty plants.

This was not eye-catching, really.

Immediately after, Xie Jiuniang pondered for a moment, then took out three Mysterious Ice Figs. She got thirteen this time, giving three to the Sect wasn’t much.

However, the focus of the people around wasn’t on the quantity.

It was all on the Mysterious Ice Figs.

"Wow, someone actually found Mysterious Ice Figs?"

"And there are three?"

"I couldn’t find even one..."

There was no need for anyone to say anything; some disciples secretly took out Sound Transmission Talismans to inform their elders, telling them that Mysterious Ice Figs had appeared this time. This was a good thing; being slow might mean missing out.

The manager asked, "Sister, would you like Spirit Stones or Contribution Points?"

"Contribution Points."

Xie Jiuniang handed over her disciple Jade Token.

The manager quickly credited the corresponding large number of Contribution Points to her account.

Xuanyuan You was stunned.

The Little Profiteer got more Rootless Vines and Witch Demon Flowers than he did, so why did she only take out this much?

"Little Profiteer, this, this—" Didn’t we agree to take everything out?

Xuanyuan You wanted to say something else but was pulled away by his family’s elder, who had a cold expression on his face.

Xie Jiuniang, seeing this pitiful guy leave, inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

After receiving her identity Jade Token back from the manager, she was about to say something when another person appeared beside her, her master, who was handsome and elegant.

"Disciple, you made it back alive?" Chaoyan teased with a smile.

Xie Jiuniang straightened up and respectfully saluted, "Disciple greets Master; you seem even more dashing after not having seen you for a while."

"Have you been on an adventure or learning sweet nothings?"

Chaoyan scooped her up onto the Flying Sword.

The Little Golden Monkey suddenly jumped onto her shoulder.

Chaoyan’s gaze shifted to the Little Golden Monkey, then down to the earnest and simple-looking Dashan, "What’s going on here?"

"Brought them out from the secret realm; Zhengyang Peak is too quiet, keeping a couple of monkeys shouldn’t be a problem, right?" Xie Jiuniang said with not quite enough confidence.

Chaoyan signaled for Dashan to follow.

Together, they went to the Dongxu Hall at the gate of the mountain.

They found the manager responsible for handling registrations, making records for Dashan and Xiaojin. In the Sect, demonic beasts also have identity plaques; without being registered, they could be easily mistaken for wild demonic beasts.

The two monkeys, one big and one small, were thus recorded under Xie Jiuniang’s name.

Master and disciple flew on the sword.

Dashan casually kept up, running behind them.

They arrived at the Inner Sect, Zhengyang Peak.

They let Dashan and the Little Golden Monkey find a place to stay, as long as they didn’t go beyond the bounds of Zhengyang Peak.

The two of them landed on the peak top, right at Chaoyan’s dwelling.

Chaoyan raised his hand and set up a Barrier, asking with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Disciple, I heard you made quite a stir in the Secret Realm again."

Xie Jiuniang showed a timely bewildered expression, "Did I?"

"Tell me, what did you do?"

"Just ordinary things, if there was danger, I’d hide..." Xie Jiuniang recounted her three-month experience in the secret realm; it was quite common, with no major incidents, "Master, when Xuanyuan and I entered the secret realm, the elder brother from the clan, Xie Haoran, made us team up."

Xie Jiuniang recounted the events in full detail.

There really wasn’t much to hide about the secret realm.

Of course, she wouldn’t mention the existence of the Time Leaf, would automatically ignore the part where she tricked others, and maybe embellish her story just a little to lean towards her own favor, not too much to ask for, right?

Chaoyan burst into laughter when he heard that his disciple couldn’t beat Dadiao and resorted to using laxatives.

It finally matched the version he had heard, and despite his handsome face, he couldn’t help but laugh, "Hahaha..."

Indeed, she was truly his disciple!

Xie Jiuniang carefully took out a high-level Spiritual Jade Box with a Sealing Talisman attached, "This is for Master’s filial respect."

"What is it?" Chaoyan asked as he took it.

Xie Jiuniang beamed with a smile, "Longevity Fruit, a thousand-year portion."

Chaoyan tightened his grip on the Spiritual Jade Box, "A thousand-year portion? That’s a fine item."

Xie Jiuniang had received three from the Golden Monkey Clan Leader, given one to her master, and had two left. She then took out a jar of liquor from her Storage Ring, "Master, there’s another fine item."

"Monkey Wine?" Chaoyan smelled the fragrance of the wine and grabbed the jar, taking a sip immediately, "Good wine!"

Then, in front of Chaoyan,

Xie Jiuniang took out another jar.

She also took out two empty jars and divided the wine in half.

Chaoyan’s eyebrows slightly raised in question, "What’s this for?"

"One portion is a filial gesture for the grandmaster and another for the uncle-master," Xie Jiuniang said matter-of-factly, "They have their own disciples to honor them, so I’m just doing half portions, so as not to steal anyone’s thunder, right?"

"Ha, well done."

As the favored one, Chaoyan felt pleased.

Besides, she didn’t take out what she wasn’t supposed to.

Like the Ice Soul Stone and the nest of the Soul-Devouring Insects, which was that piece of strangely scented wood.

She still wanted to study that piece of wood to figure out what it was.

If she couldn’t figure it out, she would ask her master later.

After sending the disciple away, Chaoyan went off in high spirits to find his senior brother.

As soon as Xie Jiuniang left, she saw two Spiritual Monkeys, large and small, squatting outside waiting for her.

"Didn’t I tell you to find a place to settle?" Xie Jiuniang asked in surprise.

Elder Dashan communicated with her telepathically, "I thought about building a treehouse in the fruit garden to stay temporarily, is that alright?"

"That’s fine, as you wish."

Xie Jiuniang didn’t refuse and asked, "Shall we dissolve our contract now?"

"It would be inconvenient to communicate if we did; let’s keep it this way for now," Dashan spoke the truth.

Meanwhile, Xie Jiuniang informed him that there would usually be someone to tend to the Spiritual Fruit Garden.

If he wanted to build his own fruit garden, she could allocate a piece of land to him, letting him plant whatever Spiritual Fruit Trees he desired.

Xie Jiuniang did not immediately give him the existing fruit garden.

For years it had been managed by Xie Xu and Bai Mudan. If she were to give it away, she’d need to consult with others first.

Xie Jiuniang thought of the Monkey Wine, "Elder Dashan, can you brew wine?"

"I can," he affirmed.

"Then you could brew wine routinely, and exchange it for elixirs or cultivation resources..."

As soon as Xie Jiuniang mentioned this, Dashan’s eyes lit up with enthusiasm, and he nodded repeatedly.

Dashan was a Nascent Soul-level Demonic Beast with an identity token, intelligent as any human, just conditioned to be simple and straightforward due to his simple environment. As long as someone guided him through the Sect’s surroundings, his daily life wouldn’t be a problem.

Xie Jiuniang pulled out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a message to Xie Xu.

The Sound Transmission Talisman didn’t send?

Could that mean the person is not in the Sect?

Then she contacted Bai Mudan, and this time it was successful.

Bai Mudan swiftly arrived, "Mistress, congratulations on your safe return from the secret realm."

"You’ve reached Foundation Establishment, good job," Xie Jiuniang once told her not to call her mistress, but she persisted, so she let it be, "This is Elder Dashan. Help him get accustomed to the Sect’s environment, and if there’s anything, contact me."

"Yes."
