Seeing Feng Muge’s extremely amusing appearance, Su Chen couldn’t help but smile wryly.
She’s almost been beaten silly, yet she’s still putting on airs here. Looks like this fellow is a habitual show-off!
‘Imperial Teacher System, what is this person’s aptitude?’
Su Chen found Feng Muge’s personality quite interesting, so he asked the Imperial Teacher System about her aptitude.
The Imperial Teacher System, seeing Su Chen’s expression, couldn’t help but get a headache. How could someone with such a bizarre personality be accepted as a Disciple?
Wouldn’t that just bring trouble upon myself?
Although Feng Muge’s aptitude is downright terrible—one could even say it’s an eyesore—after carefully choosing its words, the Imperial Teacher System still decided to make her aptitude sound at least passable.
‘Ordinary constitution, limited prospects, too mediocre, so mediocre that all that’s left is her punchable face.’
The Imperial Teacher System put on a serious face and spouted nonsense, hoping Su Chen would give up on accepting her as a Disciple.
Even if you want to accept a Disciple, it must be someone with a normal personality, outstanding aptitude, and upright character.
Someone this strange, even with decent aptitude, would never amount to anything!
At that moment, Ruo Ximeng ran up and stopped Feng Muge.
Under Feng Muge’s puzzled gaze, Ruo Ximeng also helped pat the dust off her clothes.
Ruo Ximeng wasn’t angry at Feng Muge’s arrogance and rudeness. She was kind-hearted and friendly, so she wouldn’t get upset over such a trivial matter.
“Hmph! Get out of the way, mind your own business!”
At this moment, Feng Muge slightly raised her snow-white chin. Her tone was extremely cold and arrogant, her little face written all over with ‘I don’t need your pity.’
Very soon, Feng Muge disappeared from Su Chen and Ruo Ximeng’s sight, returning to her own wooden hut.
“Hiss! Damn it, what did I just do!”
Once she returned to her hut, Feng Muge was instantly filled with regret and a headache.
In truth, she was actually very grateful to Ruo Ximeng. She didn’t dislike Ruo Ximeng at all, and even thought she was a good person.
But just now, she had ended up saying such harsh things.
Her mouth just couldn’t be controlled!
After wallowing in regret in her little hut for a while, a cold and chilling Sword Intent suddenly flashed in Feng Muge’s eyes.
This Sword Intent was incomparably powerful and terrifying, pure and refined. Even the Elder Supreme of Yuntian Palace had not reached such a level of insight into Sword Intent.
Feng Muge was no ordinary cultivator, but a peerless Sword Immortal, reincarnated to cultivate anew!
At this moment, memories of her glorious past life began to resurface in Feng Muge’s heart.
‘Hmph! I was a peerless Sword Cultivator, reincarnated to start over. My Dao in my previous life was incomplete, so I reincarnated to seek a higher realm.
Back then, I fought alone with my sword, slaying ten Quasi-Emperors in a row, shaking the myriad domains of the heavens.
These ants dare oppose me today? They truly do not know life from death!’
Recalling how she once severed the Star River with her sword and tore apart the Sun Moon Stars with a single strike, Feng Muge was filled with emotion and nostalgia.
After a while, she secretly decided in her heart that when she returned to her peak, she would repay Ruo Ximeng’s kindness today a hundred or even a thousand times over, to make up for her rudeness.
“Ah! Ah! Ah! So annoying! Why did I say such things just now? That was way too much!”
Although she had already resolved to repay Ruo Ximeng a hundredfold in the future, Feng Muge was still deeply annoyed at herself.
In the entire Yuntian Palace, only Ruo Ximeng had ever stood up for her…
Early the next morning, after a night’s rest, Su Chen and Ruo Ximeng were both refreshed and radiant.
There were still several days until the Qingyou Competition, so Su Chen decided to take Ruo Ximeng for a stroll through the Cloud Heaven Market of Yuntian Palace.
The Cloud Heaven Market was a place within Yuntian Palace where items were traded.
All Cloud Heaven Palace Disciples could sell or purchase whatever they needed here.
In the Cloud Heaven Market, transactions were very free, and the goods for sale were extremely varied.
After bringing Ruo Ximeng here, Su Chen found the Cloud Heaven Market bustling with activity—it seemed quite interesting.
The items sold here were truly all kinds.
There were various Artifacts, and even higher-grade Spirit Artifacts and Spirit Treasures.
In addition, there were many Talismans, Yu Ji, Pills, and the like. There were even Pill Furnaces and Demon Beast Eggs for sale.
Seeing the dazzling and diverse array of goods, Su Chen was delighted.
“Ximeng, you only know that your Master is invincible throughout the world, unmatched through the ages, but you don’t know that your Master is also an expert at appraising treasures!”
As soon as Su Chen said this, Ruo Ximeng was first stunned, then her eyes quickly filled with joy.
“That’s wonderful, Master! Please teach me how to appraise treasures!”
Ruo Ximeng had just looked around for a long time, but only felt dizzy from it all.
Everything here seemed so ordinary, as if there was nothing worth buying at all.
“Ahem… The more extraordinary a treasure is, the more likely it is to have a plain, unremarkable, and hard-to-notice appearance.
That way, people will overlook its value. In fact, these inconspicuous items are often the truly rare and precious treasures!”
“Unfortunately, everything in this world depends on fate. The art of appraising treasures is especially about fate and perception. Ordinary people could never learn your Master’s profound methods in a lifetime.”
Su Chen’s gaze was deep, his tone profound and mysterious, giving off the aura of a lonely expert.
‘Host, do you have any shame?’
Seeing Su Chen shamelessly deceiving again, the little avatar of the Imperial Teacher System immediately jumped out.
Su Chen was just spouting nonsense—who appraises treasures like that?
Those plain, unnoticed items? Ninety-nine percent of them are just trash!
While the Imperial Teacher System cursed Su Chen’s shamelessness inwardly, Ruo Ximeng nodded thoughtfully.
“Master, I think I kind of get what you mean?”
After speaking, Ruo Ximeng immediately ran to a stall they had passed earlier.
“Senior Brother, I’ll take this Pill Furnace!”
At this moment, Ruo Ximeng pointed at a Pill Furnace that was rusted all over and even had several broken pieces.
Seeing Ruo Ximeng’s confident expression, the Cloud Heaven Palace Disciple running the stall felt a little uncertain himself.
This Pill Furnace was something he picked up from the river. Obviously, it had been thrown away because it was so broken and worthless, with no value for repair.
He had already asked the sect’s artifact refiners, and as he expected, it was just a ruined Pill Furnace with no value at all.
“Twenty… fifteen Spirit Stones?”
The Cloud Heaven Palace Disciple originally wanted to say twenty Spirit Stones, but seeing Ruo Ximeng’s adorably innocent look, he couldn’t bear it and lowered the price to fifteen.
Naturally, Ruo Ximeng didn’t haggle. With a wave of her small hand, fifteen Spirit Stones were handed over to the stall owner without hesitation.
This scene was instantly remembered by countless onlookers!
