Am I the only one who didn't get reborn?

Chapter 19 Let's go! Let's go to the Weapon Refining Peak and get the treasure!

Ruoyun was halfway through her sentence when she noticed that her junior brother Su was holding the pig's snout with one hand while blinking at her.

His expression didn't suggest he was lying or exaggerating, so he changed his question and asked, "Did you really blow up the alchemy furnace?"

Su Buxing nodded: "Yes, otherwise why would I say that Xiao Nong Feng went bankrupt?"

Ruoyun looked at Su Buxing, wanting to say something, but the words caught in her throat as her expression turned strange: "But Junior Brother, didn't you already refine it?"

Upon hearing this, Su Buxing thought for a moment and then said, "It's probably because of the fire I started, since the room was burned down."

Ruoyun stared intently at Su Buxing, but upon hearing his words, she immediately thought of the spiritual fire.

After all, although Ruoyun was not a disciple of Danfeng, she knew very well that the Danfeng Pill Hall was built with spirit wood as the raw material. Ordinary flames would not be able to ignite it, let alone burn the outer layer black.

Unless it's a spirit fire!

but...

Ruoyun's gaze never left Su Buxing; she stared at him, her shock no longer concealed.

In other words, this Junior Brother Su not only produced a low-grade level two pill on his first attempt at alchemy, but his spiritual energy was so pure that he even created spiritual fire on his very first try.

Ruoyun fell silent and stared at Su Buxing with disbelief in her eyes. After all, this man had just made a name for himself a few days ago, and now he was doing it again?

This junior brother Su, he was so low-key before?

Although Zhi Luyao hadn't said a word, he looked at Su Buxing with an air of complete indifference, even though he had been surprised to see the second-grade pill.

After all, in his previous life, this senior brother's attainments in alchemy had already reached a superb level.

Next up, this is my senior brother!

The man I chose in this life!

This is nothing!

What surprised Zhi Luyao was...

Senior brother's furnace exploded on his first attempt at alchemy?

In my previous life, I heard that the abbot of Baiyujing Temple was incredibly skilled at alchemy and had never encountered any accidents since he started practicing alchemy.

"Hmph~~"

When Su Buxing grabbed Kang Xiaohua's mouth, she suddenly started whimpering.

Su Buxing released his grip.

"Hiccup~~"

As Little Flower burped, a breath of spiritual energy escaped from its mouth. Its large, reddish-brown eyes glared fiercely at Su Buxing. Then, as if it had suddenly noticed something, its short pig trotters rubbed its belly.

The next moment, his eyes lit up and he became happy. He nudged Su Buxing's hand behind his back, turned around and rushed towards the pile of vegetables.

"Eat, eat, eat! If you eat too much, there won't be any medicine left. The family is going bankrupt." Su Buxing said this and then looked at Ruoyun.

However, when the topic of bankruptcy came up again, Su Buxing looked at Ruoyun and suddenly seemed to remember something.

Ruoyun saw the pig as soon as she came in, and besides the pig, she also saw the chickens and a group of pigs wandering around.

However, she knew the animals in the yard were strange, so she had nothing to say.

But this junior brother Su's talent...

Thinking this, Ruoyun looked at Su Buxing, wanting to take a closer look at this junior brother Su.

After all, with such talent, he remained unknown for three months. His current state is truly admirable.

But he found Su Buxing looking at him with a serious expression.

Su Buxing didn't waste any time and immediately gestured for Ruoyun to sit down again. After he sat down, he said, "Senior Sister, the matter of blowing up the Pill Hall is over, and I've already signed and sealed the compensation agreement with Uncle Lu and Uncle An. However, you've been in the Fengling Sect longer than either of us, do you know what makes money quickly in our sect..."

Ruoyun initially thought that this Junior Brother Su was going to say something, but upon hearing this, she replied, "If we're talking about how quickly you can earn spirit stones, then it's naturally by refining pills and artifacts for others or by refining pills and artifacts yourself and selling them."

Su Buxing frowned: "The Pill Hall definitely can't let me go, and I don't know how to refine weapons. And there's nothing else..."

Ruoyun said, "I'll accept the sect's mission."

Su Buxing only learned about sect missions from Chang Ren.

Chang Ren found him while doing a sect mission, so he mentioned it briefly on the way, but didn't go into details.

Seeing Su Buxing's expression, Ruoyun knew that this junior brother probably didn't know, so she explained, "Most of the missions within the sect are for outsiders who come to our Fengling Sect for help. They vary in size, and naturally, there are rewards for them. You can collect your reward after you return from completing the mission. It's just that the earnings may not be much."

Ruoyun was incredibly intelligent and naturally understood why Su Buxing asked how to obtain spirit stones. So she said, "If Junior Brother is thinking of compensating Danfeng, the tasks he can take might be a bit less. After all, the tasks that Qi Refining stage can take will naturally not yield many spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Su Buxing took a deep breath, realizing that the task ahead was arduous and the road ahead was long.

On the way here, Su Buxing had been thinking about making money, but he couldn't come up with any concrete ideas.

But as he thought this, he looked at Ruoyun and realized what was going on with this senior sister. So he asked, "I apologize for my rudeness, but may I ask what brings you here today, senior sister?"

Upon hearing this, Ruoyun remembered the purpose of her visit and said, "I have come on the orders of my master to inform you that you two have been admitted to the sect's Azure Lotus Ranking and will be participating in the ranking battle two months from now."

Su Buxing suddenly remembered his senior brother Hu Xing, whom he had knocked unconscious by his explosion. Hu Xing had also mentioned something about a competition.

Ruoyun looked at the pastries that Zhiluyao had brought over with some surprise, because she had never seen such pastries before. However, she still looked at Su Buxing and explained, "These things were originally explained by the peak masters of each peak to the disciples of their respective peaks who have entered the Azure Lotus Ranking. However, Master said that Uncle Zhao is in seclusion, so he specially asked me to come and tell you and Junior Brother about the Azure Lotus Ranking."

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at the pastries.

Su Buxing noticed this and pushed the plate towards Ruoyun: "This little thing is called 'Donkey Rolling,' it's food for ordinary mortals. Senior Sister, if you want to eat it, just eat it. Don't be shy with me. If you like it, take it with you when you leave."

After giving an awkward smile, Ruoyun continued to explain, "The Azure Lotus Ranking is a list that only exceptionally talented disciples of our Wind Spirit Sect can enter. To be on the list, one must be recommended by an elder or peak master. Moreover, once on the list, one will receive the sect's attention and be given special care by each peak, receiving more cultivation resources and other benefits. Therefore, many disciples want to enter the Azure Lotus Ranking, but the number of spots is limited. Hence, this ranking battle exists. Other ordinary disciples can challenge disciples on the list. If they are defeated, they will be kicked off the list, or they can continue to challenge disciples on the list themselves."

Upon hearing this, Su Buxing immediately understood; in other words, he would be cultivated as a key student.

The model adopted is also survival of the fittest.

That's normal, after all, it's cultivation of immortality, a world where the strong prey on the weak.

but...

Not interested!

Fighting and killing are nothing compared to farming. Besides, these days, making money to pay off Danfeng is also important.

Martial arts competitions and the like are too much trouble!

Especially since their Xiaonong Peak only has two disciples, and their master is currently in seclusion, what kind of disciple can they focus on training?

Ruoyun didn't know what Su Buxing was thinking, but continued, "Junior brother and junior sister's situation is rather special, so I came today not only to tell you that the Azure Lotus Ranking Battle will begin in three months, but also to let you prepare in advance."

When Ruoyun got to this point, Su Buxing blurted out, "Senior Sister, how about removing me from the Azure Lotus Ranking?"

He couldn't make the decision about his junior sister, since everyone has different ideas.

But he really wasn't interested.

Ruoyun paused for a moment, "But junior brothers and sisters, you can go to the Weapon Refining Peak and choose a magic weapon."

Su Buxing spoke almost immediately: "Then we won't refund it. I was talking nonsense just now, please don't mind, Senior Sister."

Ruoyun looked at Su Buxing: "..."

This junior brother is really...

It's hard to say.

Su Buxing asked with a serious expression, "Senior sister, tell me in detail about choosing a magic weapon."

As they spoke, Su Buxing pushed the pastry towards Ruoyun again.

Ruoyun felt embarrassed, but she had come today specifically to tell this junior brother Su about this matter, so she said, "After all, junior brother and junior sister are in a rather special situation on Xiaonong Peak. Uncle Zhao doesn't know when he will be able to emerge from seclusion, and you two have only just entered the sect, with only three months left until the martial arts competition. Therefore, Master has discussed with the other uncles and senior masters that you two can go to the Weapon Refining Peak and each choose a magic weapon. As for what you can get, that depends on your fate."

Su Buxing's expression froze for a moment, and he subconsciously asked, "Can I sell the ones I've chosen?"

Ruoyun looked at Su Buxing with a puzzled expression.

Su Buxing coughed, realizing he had been too direct, and then asked, "When can we go...?"

Ruoyun looked at Su Buxing: "You can go anytime, but junior brother, magic treasures are rare, you can't sell them."

Su Buxing nodded seriously and stood up, looking at Zhi Luyao: "Junior sister, pack up, let's go to the Weapon Refining Peak to get the treasure."
