The Gift of Little Jade

When Xiao Yuer said this, both Lin Xiaolu and Li Miaoxin opened their eyes at the same time. Lin Xiaolu was curious, while there was some surprise in Li Miaoxin's eyes.

Xiao Yuer sat on the cushion with a frightened and pale little face. She said aggrievedly, "Elder sister, I feel like something is squirming inside my belly."

Li Miaoxin frowned her pretty eyebrows, went up to take a careful look at the porcelain doll-like little girl, and then touched her head. This touch also made the surprise in her beautiful eyes even more concentrated.

"Xiao Yuer, you, you've absorbed the aura of heaven and earth!"

"Ah?" Lin Xiaolu, who was on the side, heard it with his mouth wide open and a dumbfounded expression on his face as he looked at his sister.

Xiao Yuer sat there frightened, not understanding what was going on, and didn't dare to move at all.

Li Miaoxin looked at her incredulously, unable to calm the shock in her heart for a long time. How long had Xiao Yuer been practicing?

Not even half a stick of incense! What was going on here! Since the founding of Mount Emei, there had never been a disciple who had absorbed the aura of heaven and earth and entered the first layer of Qi Condensation in such a short period of time!

In fact, forget about Mount Emei, in the whole of China, with thousands of cultivation sects and schools of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, demons and monsters, from the upper realm of heaven to the underworld below, there had never been such a thing!

At this moment, seeing Li Miaoxin's solemn expression, Xiao Yuer thought something was wrong with herself. Her eyes brimmed with tears of fear. Lin Xiaolu on the side also poked his head curiously and asked, "Elder sister, what's wrong with my sister?"

"Xiao Yuer she... seems to have comprehended the aura of heaven and earth, and has also begun to absorb it automatically."

Li Miaoxin's chest heaved up and down. She still hadn't recovered from the shock. Seeing her so shocked, Lin Xiaolu rolled his eyes in disdain and said, "I thought it was something serious. Don't make a fuss over nothing. My sister and I are so talented, it's normal for my sister to be outstanding! You're a cultivator, yet you react as if you've never seen the world. Hmph!"

The young woman ignored the boy's words, but said solemnly, "Xiao Yuer's situation, I have never seen before either. In that case, I will take you to see the Master and have him examine Xiao Yuer's condition."

"Are we going to see the boss?"

"It's Master." Li Miaoxin twisted the boy's ear to correct him, "Who did you learn to talk like this from every day?"

After that, Li Miaoxin took both of them by the hand, stood up and walked out of the room together.

Since coming to Mount Emei, Lin Xiaolu hadn't seen Li Mingru again. He had dumped the siblings to the senior sister and left without looking back, quite ruthless indeed.

Now, holding Li Miaoxin's hands, Lin Xiaolu and his sister followed her all the way to the top of Pluck Star Peak, which was a snowy mountain with a lower temperature. To prevent the siblings from catching a chill, Li Miaoxin used her techniques to gather a transparent barrier sphere in front of the three to block wind and snow, specially to protect the two of them.

Along the way, Li Miaoxin asked Xiao Yuer with concern if she was uncomfortable anywhere. Fortunately, apart from feeling something wandering all over her body, Xiao Yuer didn't have any other discomforts. On the contrary, she felt quite warm and comfortable, which made Li Miaoxin feel more at ease.

Sheltered in the transparent barrier sphere, Lin Xiaolu curiously looked at the snowy mountain as he walked. He felt this place was quite beautiful, covered in vast swathes of white everywhere. And after he followed Li Miaoxin all the way to the top of Pluck Star Peak, he saw a snow-covered mountain cave.

This was already the top of Pluck Star Peak. From here, one could overlook the endless scenery of Pluck Star Peak. Looking down from here, one could also see cotton-like layers of white clouds drifting slowly below, over an extremely vast area, with no end in sight.

This scene looked like a slowly drifting, huge sea of clouds, giving Lin Xiaolu the dangerous idea of jumping on it to roll around.

"Master, disciple has brought the junior brother and junior sister to see you, there is something to report." Li Miaoxin's voice of paying respects sounded at the entrance of the cave.

After a while, a lazy voice came from inside the cave.

"Miaoxin, come in."

Hearing this, Li Miaoxin led Lin Xiaolu and Xiao Yuer into the cave together.

Unlike the snowy scene outside the cave, the interior was quite spacious and bright. All around were densely packed wooden racks full of scrolls, bamboo slips and other books.

Wearing a green robe, with a gourd hanging on his waist, Li Mingru had disheveled hair and looked like he had just woken up. He had a strong smell of wine on him, making Lin Xiaolu and Xiao Yuer cover their little noses.

"Master, you've been drinking again." Li Miaoxin complained with hands on her hips, "If you keep drinking like this, you'll become a muddled fool sooner or later."

"Nonsense, your Master is at the Core Formation stage, how could I be subdued by the likes of wine." The disheveled Li Mingru glanced at Xiao Yuer, then at Lin Xiaolu, and jokingly teased, "The tyrant of Winter Melon Village? Have you caused trouble again?"

"How could that be." Lin Xiaolu put his hands on his waist and bragged, "Boss, you don't know, my sister and I have been very well-behaved. The teachers and students at the academy all like me very much, wishing they could kiss me eight times a day!"

"Hahahaha~" Lin Xiaolu's words made Li Mingru laugh out loud. As he laughed, he took the gourd and drank a couple of mouthfuls.

Hearing Lin Xiaolu's words, Li Miaoxin was very embarrassed. Her little junior brother was bragging too much, wishing to be kissed eight times a day? Teacher Yang would probably lose eight years of his life after teaching him for just one day!

She quickly changed the topic between the old and the young, and said solemnly, "Master, when I was teaching junior sister to cultivate today and guiding her to comprehend the aura of heaven and earth, junior sister has now entered the first layer of Qi Condensation."

As soon as she said this, Li Mingru, who was pouring wine into his mouth with the gourd, stopped his movements. His eyes showed a trace of surprise as he looked at Xiao Yuer in front of him.

"How could this be?" Li Mingru also seemed a little confused, and said in shock, "Xiao Yuer, tell Master, how long have you been cultivating?"

Xiao Yuer stammered and could not answer. Li Miaoxin helped her and said, "From the time she started meditating, junior sister has only cultivated for less than half a stick of incense."

"Thud!"

Li Mingru's wine gourd fell to the ground, and the crystal clear wine inside spilled out without any reaction from him. His whole person seemed to be stunned.

After being stunned for a good while, he came back to his senses. Then his pupils changed color and turned into golden eyes as he looked at Xiao Yuer's body again.

Li Mingru saw that currently, there was a trace of weak aura circulating slowly in Xiao Yuer's body.

The transparent aura flowed through Xiao Yuer's extraordinary meridians and limbs, circulating over and over again!

"She has actually reached the first layer of Qi Condensation!" Li Mingru's voice trembled slightly.

His shock also made Li Miaoxin more certain of her junior sister's incredibility. Master was a cultivator at the Core Formation stage, second only to the sect leader in status at Mount Emei, and even in the whole of China he was a top cultivator. Yet now, junior sister's situation could even make Master's voice tremble in shock!

Just what kind of monster was this junior sister!

"Boss, isn't my sister very awesome?"

Seeing that senior sister and Master were both silent, Lin Xiaolu was very proud and smug on the side, "Awesome, boss, just say it out, don't be shy, we're all out here hustling, say what you wanna say!"
