I became a villain master, but I conquered the heroine

Half a minute later, Gu Xi finished washing up and walked into the house.

Yuan Chu glanced at her, then looked at the red bean porridge on the table, signaling her to eat quickly.

Seeing Yuanchu's actions, Gu Xi's heart was filled with ripples, disrupting her long-calm heart. Why was she so nice to herself?

She had nothing and was of no use at all. She was not even worthy of being coveted. Gu Xi couldn't understand why Yuan Chu was so nice to her.

Besides, I was just a poor person she picked up on the way down the mountain, and there was no need for her to take care of me so much.

Although he was confused, Gu Xi didn't ask anything.

Looking at Yuanchu, she suppressed the bitterness in her eyes, tried her best to make her smile look more natural, and said sweetly: "Thank you, Master."

He sat down, picked up the bowl of porridge, and fed it spoonful after spoonful into his mouth, nodding and praising repeatedly: "Mm, it tastes good."

Yuan Chu was naturally happy to see that his little apprentice did not dislike the porridge he cooked.

She was delighted. As expected, she said that she had a talent for cooking. "Well, after dinner, I will take you to get familiar with the sect, and then go to the Patriarch's Hall to complete the apprenticeship ceremony."

After Gu Xi finished eating, the two went to the main peak.

Looking ahead, there is a huge martial arts training ground. The training ground is wide and flat, and hundreds of disciples are practicing magic.

There is a thousand-year-old tree planted diagonally in front of us, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are blooming under the tree.

To the left is the Sutra Repository, which towers into the clouds and is connected by winding corridors.

There are countless bookshelves in the pavilion, which are filled with precious books such as methods of cultivating immortals, magic weapons and secret manuals.

The pavilion is dark and quiet, filled with the fragrance of books. It is a good place for disciples to consult classics and practice with concentration.

Further ahead is the Zhixing Academy established by the sect. When you get closer, you can vaguely hear the elders' lectures. The sect's academy is usually responsible for teaching minors like Gu Xi.

The disciples of the sect, who are between a few years old and in their teens, learn some common sense about cultivation, theories of magic, types of monsters and beasts, and the sects and factions in the world of cultivation.

The courses are divided into different categories and taught by different elders, and students can only graduate after passing the school assessment.

Yuanchu suddenly thought that according to Gu Xi's current age, should he also send her to the academy for forging?

If I am no longer around in the future, my little apprentice will not be bullied. It is always good to learn more. Although I am a complete scumbag, Yuanchu thought silently.

After the two of them walked out of the school area, Yuanchu looked at his little apprentice and asked softly as they walked: "Xiaoxi, when you were in the mortal world, did you go to school?"

"I went to school for a while when I was young," Gu Xi answered obediently.

"Well, the master intends to send you to the sect's school. Are you willing?"

"It's up to Master to decide."

"You don't ask me why?"

"The immortal sect's techniques are extensive and profound. Many people seek but cannot obtain them. It is a blessing for disciples to be able to attend the sect's academy."

"Okay, then in a few days, I will take you to complete the enrollment procedures."

He took her to visit the medicine garden. As soon as they stepped into the medicine garden, overwhelming spiritual energy swept over them, making people feel instantly clear-headed.

The surroundings are quiet and peaceful, with all kinds of colorful spiritual plants planted in the medicine garden. Some of the spiritual plants are emitting wisps of spiritual energy. The entire medicine garden is quiet and elegant, like a dream.

According to Yuanchu's understanding, these are only some of the spiritual plants in the medicine garden. The real rare and top-quality ones are cultivated elsewhere because their growing conditions are extremely harsh.

It is also extremely labor-intensive, and just one plant is priceless. It is very effective in treating both external and internal injuries of monks. Some spiritual plants can even help people advance, and have miraculous effects.

The two were about to turn around and leave the medicine garden when Yuanchu suddenly heard an angry voice. It sounded like an old man.

"You silly girl, you came to my medicine garden. What are you trying to do this time?"

When Yuanchu heard this voice, his heart skipped a beat. "Oh my god! Who is this enemy of the original owner?"

Turning around, he saw an old man with a thin body, black beard, gray eyebrows, and two big eyes as big as copper bells. He was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe and was walking towards him hurriedly.

After a few moments, he walked to Yuanchu and Guxi and stood still. He took a deep breath and then immediately asked, "Tell me, what do you want to do this time?"

Looking at the old man with an angry face and yelling, Yuanchu quickly searched for information about this old man in his mind.

It turned out that the old man was Bai Ming's uncle, and the younger brother of Bai Ming's master, the former head of the herbal medicine hall, Master Xu Xuan, Wang Youyou.

According to seniority, the herbal medicine hall should be under his charge, but he was bohemian by nature and loved freedom. He did not want to be entangled in the complicated affairs of the herbal medicine hall, so he pushed the position of hall master to Bai Ming.

He only loves to study spiritual plants. He fiddles with these flowers and plants all day long, taking care of them as if they were his own heart and soul.

Except for special circumstances, he only provides a fixed amount of medicinal herbs, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. to the herbal medicine hall every month, and they are registered every month. In other words, the medicine garden is managed by him alone.

Before picking any spiritual plant, one must get his consent. Usually, the entrance to the medicine garden is guarded by disciples, but for some reason, there are no disciples guarding the entrance today.

As for why this old man is so hostile to Yuanchu, it was because the original owner was eager for quick success and forced a breakthrough when he was practicing, which caused his dantian to be damaged and his body to be burned by fire, which required an extremely cold object to suppress.

The Ice Lotus has an extremely cold property, which is just right for the original owner's healing.

There happened to be one cultivated in the medicine garden, so the original owner came here to ask him for an ice lotus, but was turned away and the old man refused to give it to her.

The two argued for a long time, but the old man refused to give in. He said that she had brought this upon herself, and that she would be fine in a few months if she took care of herself, and that she should not waste his precious ice lotus.

The cold and aloof original owner must have felt unhappy when he heard these words, and he didn't want to endure this heart-wrenching pain every day.

After arguing for a long time, the original owner completely lost her patience. She immediately transformed into a blue jade sword, held the spiritual sword in her hand, swung her long arm, and instantly a stream of sword energy slashed straight at his spiritual field.

The spiritual plants that were injured by the sword energy shrank and fell to the ground in an instant, and then they frowned and threatened him:

"Old man, are you going to give it to me? If you don't, believe it or not, I will destroy your spiritual field." As he said this, he raised his hand and prepared to chop at the spiritual field.

Seeing the spiritual plant he had carefully cultivated being destroyed, the old man instantly flew into a rage, "Stop, you damn girl, what are you doing? How dare you destroy my spiritual plant! How dare you!"

The original owner said with a cold face: "You can try it, see if I dare."

Although friend Wang is over a hundred years older than the original owner, he is a medicine cultivator after all, so he naturally cannot go head-on with a sword cultivator like the original owner.

He hesitated, fearing that the original owner would really destroy his spiritual field, and finally had no choice but to give her the Ice Lotus reluctantly.

When he handed the Ice Lotus to her, he glared at her and said angrily:

"You damn girl, you are so rude. You haven't inherited any of your father's good qualities. Take your ice lotus and get out of here."

The original owner's eyes dimmed immediately, but she did not continue to argue with him. She took the Ice Lotus and left the medicine garden in a cold manner.
