Chapter 274 - Meeting Xiaoning Again
Ever since Nian Qi moved in, this was the first time the two of them had gone out together.
After three years, there hadn’t been much changes in the capital. However, as the sect competition was approaching, there number of cultivators going about had increased significantly.
For the past three years, Nian Qi’s hair had been yellowed, withered and curled up, looking disheveled.
However, she was more beautiful. Slim and elegant, her skin was fair and tender, looking delicately sweet.
While Su Zimo could not be considered as extremely handsome, he had delicate features and a steady aura. His green robes fluttered in the wind and he exuded an extraordinary aura, emitting a unique sense of charisma.
The woman was beautiful and the man was charming.
Walking on the streets of the capital, the two of them looked like a match made in heaven and attracted everyone’s attention.
“Eh? Isn’t that the maidservant called Nian Qi from Mo Spirit Weapon Workshop?”
“I heard that this person from True Fire Elixir Workshop is a talent in True Fire Sect in recent years. His name is He Xing and he’ll definitely have a spot in the elixir rankings of the sect competition!”
“I heard that the Elixir Refinement Master from Azure Frost Sect is a young lady but she isn’t famous. I wonder how she got the courage to compete against He Xing.”
Su Zimo and Nian Qi quickly reached their destination as they followed the flow of the crowd.
In a corner of Yongxing City, there was an empty space in the middle of a dense crowd. At that moment, a man and a woman were wielding Elixir Furnaces in their hands while pouring materials into it.
The man had a dignified appearance but his lips were extremely thin, as if symbolizing that he was a heartless person.
The man was smelting the materials but his gaze was on the woman beside him. He had a relaxed expression and he was smirking with a flash of mockery in his eyes.
Su Zimo looked at the girl and could not help but shudder, almost exclaiming.
While it was only a side profile, Su Zimo recognized the woman instantly.
It was Su Xiaoning!
The young lady that was competing against True Fire Sect’s He Xing in an elixir refinement competition was none other than his sister that he had not seen for many years – Su Xiaoning!
Su Zimo initially thought that he would have to wait for the sect competition to begin officially before he could see his sister again.
He did not expect to meet her here today.
“What’s wrong, sir?” Nian Qi was the closest to Su Zimo and she asked hurriedly when she noticed something amiss with his reaction.
“It’s nothing.”
He had a smile and his gaze lingered on Su Xiaoning, warm and tender.
After not seeing her for a few years, Su Xiaoning had grown up quite a bit. She had a slim figure and her long hair was draped over her singlet, tied up with a blue ribbon. Wearing white robes, she was immaculately clean and bore the demeanor of an immortal cultivator.
Actually, Su Zimo had been thinking about Xiaoning all these years.
She had a poor spirit root and even with Ji Yaoxue’s help, she might suffer from endless bullying and trampling in the sect.
If not for the fact that his own future was uncertain back then, Su Zimo would have definitely brought Xiaoning with him.
Taking a close look, Su Zimo saw that Xiaoning had only just entered Foundation Establishment realm.
She had a pseudo spirit root and it was already remarkable for her to reach this realm within a few years.
It was not hard to imagine that Xiaoning must have suffered a lot in this process.
Song Qi had a pseudo spirit root and he had cultivated for most of his life but he was still unable to attain Foundation Establishment realm.
What surprised Su Zimo the most was that Xiaoning was an Elixir Refinement Master!
He had some knowledge of elixir refinement and could naturally tell that Xiaoning’s was proficient in it. Furthermore, she was extremely focused throughout the entire process and was completely unaffected by her environment, possessing the mental fortitude required of an Elixir Refinement Master.
