Sect Recruitment: I Can See Attribute Entries

Chapter 456: Chapter 457: Training Begins! Let’s Go!

Central Plains, Ten Thousand Flowers Ridge.

Cui Hao raised his cup slightly, gently clinking it with San Dong, who sat at the same table.

What he drank with San Dong naturally wasn’t wine, but tea brewed by Chen Baiqing.

Whether it was because a plant spirit had certain requirements for water, San Dong, though frail despite having cultivation, should theoretically have been able to handle alcohol.

But the reality was that San Dong had zero tolerance for alcohol.

One cup and she was drunk. Two cups and she went mad.

Three cups and she lost her memory. Four cups and she passed out, drooling.

Even when San Dong was drunk, she only swayed her head wanting to dance. She had no aggressive tendencies, and it was actually rather amusing to watch.

The flower spirit danced gracefully under the moonlight, performing nothing like ordinary mortal dances. It was quite a pleasing sight.

Though it was amusing, taking advantage of someone’s obvious inability to hold their liquor for entertainment was rather tasteless.

Unless San Dong insisted on drinking herself, even Qing He, who normally loved watching spectacles, wouldn’t offer San Dong a single cup of wine.

Cui Hao glanced at San Dong, who had taken a sip of Third Senior Sister’s tea and was now comfortably squinting her eyes, then shifted his gaze to Chen Baiqing:

”Third Senior Sister, do you think Master went sightseeing with Uncle Xie, or does he actually have business to attend to?”

The fact that Chen Baiqing had fully grown into her appearance was a source of comfort for Chen Xingchen. For Cui Hao, it meant he could address her as Third Senior Sister much more naturally.

Looking back, Cui Hao used to have to call Chen Baiqing—who was only waist-high—Third Senior Sister.

Though he accepted it in his heart, saying it always felt a bit awkward.

Now that Third Senior Sister had grown into her looks, with a face as beautiful as flowers and the moon, and a tall, elegant figure, the title rolled off the tongue much more smoothly.

Chen Baiqing didn’t turn to look at Cui Hao. Instead, she gazed at the fish swimming gently in the deep pool, answering:

”Whether it’s sightseeing or business, those are Master’s choices. Why pry so much?”

”Well, Fourth Senior Sister is about to break through to the Golden Core realm.”

”If even you know about it, would Master not know? Given Master’s nature, even if he were sightseeing, he’d wait until Fourth Junior Sister broke through.”

Chen Baiqing turned her gaze back. ”Your cultivation has been somewhat slack, hasn’t it? You’ve only just entered the late Foundation Establishment stage.”

Cui Hao’s expression crumpled slightly. ”My talent is just a bit inferior to my senior brothers and sisters, but I really have been working hard.”

Chen Baiqing picked up the teapot beside her and poured Cui Hao another cup of tea, offering words of encouragement:

”I’m just giving you a reminder. Your talent isn’t bad either. Once you go out into the world, you’ll see that those worse than you are everywhere.”

Cui Hao sighed softly at her words, his tone somewhat deflated:

”Training... I don’t know when I’ll ever get to go train... The Golden Core stage is so far away, and Fourth Senior Sister is taking so long to break through too.”

Chen Baiqing ignored that remark and turned her gaze toward the courtyard entrance.

She saw Lin Luoyu walking in from outside, a barely containable excited smile on her face.

A gentle smile also appeared on Chen Baiqing’s face. She picked up the upside-down teacup beside her, poured a fresh cup of tea, and placed it on the table:

”Congratulations to Junior Sister on also becoming a Golden Core powerhouse.”

Cui Hao quickly turned to look at Lin Luoyu upon hearing this.

Ever since the peerless celestial phenomenon caused by Li Xingtian’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm last time, Chen Xingchen had hastily created a formation that could isolate breakthrough aura detection.

After all, following the celestial phenomenon from Li Xingtian’s breakthrough, if the Tian Yan Sect hadn’t vouched that the evil cultivator had been eliminated, who knows how many households around Ten Thousand Flowers Ridge would have fled.

Besides Li Xingtian, other disciples’ breakthroughs might not necessarily be free of additional celestial phenomena. Even if they were good omens, they could still attract unwanted attention from those with ulterior motives.
