Moreover, Ning Cheng had used five Qi Gathering Pills just to advance to the fourth level of Qi Gathering, which goes to show how mixed his spirit root must be. It's simply too pitiful to bear.
"Ning Cheng, with such poor spirit roots, why didn't you give the Qi Gathering Pills to your cousin An Yi? Is her spirit root as bad as yours?" Lu Xue had already started addressing Ning Cheng by his name.
Ning Cheng didn't mind, as the world was very realistic. Given his poor spirit roots, he clearly had no future. Having someone at the Qi Gathering seventh level call him 'Brother Ning' was indeed unrealistic. It wasn't so much about respect as it was about reality—birds of a feather flock together, a saying that applies everywhere. He simply wasn't part of the same group as Le Bohong, Lu Xue, and the others.
