Sima Youyue smiled: "I've only been apprenticed for two to three months. Master told me to study hard.
”
You're still young. You have plenty of time. "Ni Le was not angry at her rejection.
"I want to study hard too, but I shouldn't bite off more than I can chew. Let's take it slow. I'll learn other things in the future if I have the chance. "Sima Youyue said.
"If you want to learn in the future, you can come over anytime. As long as I'm still the Sect Leader. "Ni Le said.
"Okay." Sima Youyue said.
"Come and take a look. These were moved back today." Ni Le brought her to a small cubicle and pointed at the ores in the cubicle.
Although it was called a small cubicle, each one was as big as a football field and more than ten stories high. There were many ores on the ground. The big ones were almost at the top while the small ones were only the size of a fist.
A few spirit masters were appraising the ores.
Sima Youyue thought that Ni Le was just being polite when he said that the ores had just arrived today. She did not expect it to be true. The ores were of different grades and did not have the Spirit Seeking Sect's label. So they had just returned and had not been classified yet.
The people in the cubicle saw them and immediately stopped to bow, saying: "Sect Leader."
"Go and do your own things. I'll bring Youyue to take a look." Ni Le said.
"Grandmaster, is this the Youyue who has been the talk of the town recently?" A man in a green robe looked at Sima Youyue and asked.
"Yes." Ni Le nodded and then introduced to Sima Youyue: "This is my disciple, Lian Cheng."
Lian Cheng cupped his hands towards Sima You Yue, saying, "I've always been good at opening stones with my bare hands. Those people say that our Spirit Seeker Sect's people are all powerful. Since we've met today, can you let us experience it?"
Sima Youyue raised her eyebrows. Was this a provocation? The Beast Tamers Guild had not come to find trouble with her, but they had met here first.
"Hehe, you've been too famous recently. The little guys in the sect are not convinced." Ni Le smiled, "Don't worry about them."
"Grandmaster, even you said that her spirit-seeking technique is better than ours. Since that's the case, there's nothing wrong with showing off a little! Why don't we try it? "Lian Cheng said.
"You …" Ni Le glared at him. This brat was young and impetuous. He couldn't control his temper.
"You said it was said by someone else. Rumors can't be trusted." Sima Youyue didn't come here to show off. She didn't want to suppress other people's geniuses in their territory, nor did she want to lose. Therefore, it was better not to do anything. "Besides, there's no such thing as opening a rock with bare hands. It's just that the situation is critical, and I can't afford to slowly try it out. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sect Master Ni if this is the case. "
"I've already used that excuse of yours, but Martial Ancestor said that although the situation at the time was critical and there was also the thought of damaging the spirit energy in the Spirit Gathering Formation, your method of opening the stone was very accurate and you didn't open it casually." Lian Cheng said, "Are you unwilling because you think that you'll be embarrassed if you win against me here?"
The corner of Sima Youyue's mouth twitched. She really wanted to ridicule him: Child, don't say it even if you see through it! Even if you know what I'm thinking, don't say it out loud!
Why did she feel like she was looking at a brat when she saw his serious face?
"You don't have to be merciful. Just do what you need to do. If I lose, it's because I'm not as skilled as others. I won't blame you." Lian Cheng said.
"Let go of him." Ni Le said, "This child's talent is alright. He's just a little arrogant. If we don't take him down a notch, who knows what he'll do in the future!"
Sima Youyue hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Alright."
This Lian Cheng was indeed a little arrogant to provoke her so rudely. Ni Le also looked a little worried.
"Then what should we do?" Lian Cheng asked with a smile.
"The simplest way. Let's each pick one and see who has the highest value." Sima Youyue said.
"We'll do as you say!" Lian Cheng agreed, "Since this batch of ores came today, let's choose from them."
"Alright!" She and Lian Cheng walked to a small cubicle and looked at all the ores. Then, they went to a small cubicle at the side.
There were a lot of ores here.
Lian Cheng took her to look around and said, "That's all we have today. Ladies first."
Sima Youyue wanted to pick one randomly, but decided against it. If she lost, the other party would think that she let them win on purpose. If she won, they would think that it was luck. It would seem disrespectful. Hence, she walked back and forth twice, then chose an ore the size of a basketball.
"It's your turn."
Lian Cheng had already looked through the ores when he was accompanying her to choose. Now that it was his turn, he compared the ores he chose.
The two of them didn't spend much time. When the onlookers saw that they chose their ores so quickly, they wondered which one of them had the highest value.
"Open the ores." Ni Le said, "Who's going first?"
"Me." Lian Cheng said.
When gambling on ores, they would choose to open their ores first to show respect. Of course, it was also because they were super confident in themselves.
Sima Youyue looked at Lian Cheng. There was no disdain in his eyes. It seemed that there were both reasons.
"Then open yours first." There was no need to fight over such things.
They took the ores to the ores opening. The ores were carefully opened.
"Black Wood Spirit Stone. Not bad." Ni Le smiled and nodded. "Open the next one."
Someone placed Sima Youyue's spirit stone in front of the ores opening. With just one cut, it shone brightly. Everyone present widened their eyes. Lian Cheng was even more stunned.
"Do you want to continue?" The master raised his head and asked.
When the ores were opened, there was a strange phenomenon. Needless to say, it was obvious who had won.
"Open it." Lian Cheng ordered.
Even though he knew the result, he still lost arrogantly. He couldn't just stop like this. He had to see the final result.
Soon, Sima Youyue's ores were opened. It was two grades higher than his.
"I lost." He admitted straightforwardly.
"Choosing ores is a matter of probability. It can't be accurate even if you try once or twice." Sima Youyue said, "Sect Leader Ni, I've been out for a long time. I'll take my leave first."
"Okay, I'll get someone to send you back." Ni Le said, "Come back when you're free."
"Okay." Sima Youyue turned and left.
"Sima Youyue, can I see how you open the ores with your bare hands? If it breaks, it's on me. "Lian Cheng took out an ore. It was his own.
Sima Youyue turned around and smiled at him, saying, "If you don't make me angry next time."
Lian Cheng's face fell. He seemed to have offended her.
Sima Youyue came out of the Xun Ling Sect. She declined Ni Le's kind offer and slowly walked towards the Sound Sect.
