"This is the elixir reward for the first place in the Moon White Competition. Please, Grand Elder, send it to her. There are a lot of people coming to Huaxi Valley to seek a visit and establish friendship. Tell her to take shelter in there and practice for a few days. I will take her back after I finish dealing with trivial matters."
Wen Miao took the storage bag and threw it into the mirror. "The little girl is confused at the moment, and I don't know if she can figure it out."
Li Jiuchuan smiled gently, "She can do it. She is optimistic by nature and never makes things difficult for herself. Once she finds a new goal, she will move forward courageously."
Wen Miao felt itchy and took out the tortoise shell copper coin, "Let me tell you what her fate is."
The copper coin swayed in the tortoise shell, and Wen Miao muttered something.
"open!"
Six copper coins fell to the ground, Li Jiuchuan leaned over to look, Wen Miao counted on his fingers for a moment, and his expression changed drastically.
"Why is she destined to die young?"
Li Jiuchuan's heart trembled, "Grand Elder, did you see it clearly?"
Wen Miao frowned, "Don't worry, her fate of dying young has already been fulfilled, which means that she should have died long before she entered the Tianyan Sect. Someone messed with her fate. This kind of thing also happens in the world of cultivation. As long as the person who messed with someone's fate can bear the consequences, then it's messed up."
"It's just that this person who messed up her fate... let me ask the ruler of heaven."
Wen Miao reached into his arms.
Boom!
There was thunder in the daytime, and suddenly the wind and clouds rose, and a storm was about to come.
Wen Miao looked solemn and slowly took out his hand, "The power of heaven is unpredictable."
Li Jiuchuan looked worried, "Will this have any impact on Yuebai?"
Wen Miao put away the tortoise shell copper coin and said, "My cultivation level is not yet at the stage where I can predict the power of heaven. I only know that her fate will be intertwined with that person. No one knows whether the future will be a disaster or a blessing. But the good thing is that no one can use divination to predict her fate in the future, otherwise it will be like..."
Wen Miao raised her finger to the sky, "Go and do your work, don't disturb my peace here, I will help you look after the little girl for a while, after all... she is also half of my disciple."
Li Jiuchuan bid farewell to Wen Miao, who continued to lie under the tree, swinging his feet and drinking.
"Drink today and enjoy life today. Answering questions and solving problems is really tiring!"
＊
“Ouch!”
Jiang Yuebai fell face down on the ground. Just as he got up, he was hit on the head by a storage bag again.
She pressed her forehead and saw a pure white world, with no sky or earth, no sun or moon, no wind or rain.
Thanks to her good eyesight, she could see a fingernail-sized sprout in the pure white, with two leaves curled up and not yet unfolded.
"Is this the tree?"
Jiang Yuebai frowned, sat cross-legged in front of the tender buds and looked carefully, but could not make out any features.
"Seeing oneself, asking where one came from, and finding the way back, what does this mean?"
Jiang Yuebai understood the literal meaning, but when he went deeper, he was puzzled.
In the vast space, Jiang Yuebai and the young bud were alone, with nothing around them. The thoughts of fighting and intrigue in the past few days suddenly disappeared.
Since her parents left, until now, she has never felt so... peaceful.
There seemed to be some power in this place that made Jiang Yuebai unable to help but recall the past.
In Jiangjia Village, although her family was not wealthy, they were happy and harmonious. What she looked forward to most every day was her father coming back from work in the town with a few small pieces of maltose in his arms. In order to have them all to herself, she often beat her brother until he cried.
Even when her mother beat her with a broom, she could still smile with sweet words.
She thought that Jiangjia Village was her world and her whole life.
Later, when the world was in turmoil and drought struck her hometown, she left Jiangjia Village, met more people and a bigger world, experienced many hardships, and finally settled down in Yong'an City.
After entering the Lin Mansion, she lived comfortably at first. She also thought that the Lin Mansion and Yong'an City would be her future world.
At that time, she was content. As long as she had enough to eat, she could live anywhere.
Later, she was sold out and narrowly escaped death by escaping into the mountains, where she had the chance to see the fairy. She would never forget that moment.
It was the vibration and aftermath of a rock falling in a quiet lake and a building collapsing.
From that moment on, she could no longer be satisfied.
Jiangjia Village, Yong'an City, Tianyan Sect, the vastness of the world was beyond her imagination in her childhood.
Central Plains, Heavenly Witch, Underworld Sea, Demon Realm, Earthly Spirit Realm… are they the extremes of heaven and earth
Compared with the candy she had in her childhood, it was now difficult for her to regain the satisfaction and happiness she once had, but she would rather give up the candy and want to know how high the sky was and how thick the earth was.
In life, success or failure, all depends on what you choose to give up. If you give up, you gain; if you don’t give up, you gain nothing.
so…
Jiang Yuebai closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When she opened her eyes again, Tao Fengnian was sitting opposite her, with his back hunched and legs crossed, holding a pipe and puffing out smoke.
"Bai girl, are you going to say goodbye to grandpa?"
With tears in his eyes, Jiang Yuebai greedily stared at the grandfather in front of him, even though he knew he was an illusion.
Tao Fengnian knocked on the pipe, letting the burnt ashes return to the earth.
"Do you still have Grandpa's Huaxi Notes? Open it and take a look."
Jiang Yuebai found a book that had been curled up, smoothed the corners with his palm, and opened it.
"On the third day of March, we harvested 1,250 kilograms of winter wheat. I returned 200 kilograms to Old Sun and lent 100 kilograms to the Dong family."
"On August 20, I collected 2,700 kilograms of spiritual grain and saved up 500 spiritual stones to buy what I need for cultivation."
"On August 25, the second son of the Wu family was seriously injured while hunting monsters. He wanted to borrow spirit stones to buy medicine to heal his wounds. After careful consideration, we decided that it would be difficult for us to survive in Huaxi Valley, so we lent them to him."
"November 15th, the harvest is poor, the progress of cultivation is slow, and debt collection is not going smoothly. What should I do?"
Tao Fengnian held up his pipe and said, "Take another look at your own diary."
Jiang Yuebai took out the jade slip he used to record his diary.
"On the third day of the second month, ice formed in the water. How did they do that? Lu Ying told me that two apprentices from the Wang and Li families had a fight. It's none of my business!"
"March 17th. Although the Divine Machine Stone consumes Spirit Stones, I will accept it as long as it can improve my spiritual awareness. Even if I have to borrow it, I will continue to learn it."
Jiang Yuebai's heart was slightly shaken, and he looked through the things he had learned when he was in Yinshan Mine.
"On July 19, I fell into an underground river and encountered a group of blood-toothed crocodiles. I narrowly escaped death, but they were all slaughtered..."
"On May 11, we were attacked by a mining team. We were injured and retreated temporarily..."
"On the first day of June, a group battle of five people, between life and death, they comprehended the 'Thunder Force'..."
Jiang Yuebai put down the jade slip and held it tightly.
Tao Fengnian smiled kindly, "Bai girl, you are more insightful than other children of your age. In fact, you have long understood that grandpa cannot accompany you all the way. Sooner or later, we will have to separate."
"Grandpa's world is this Huaxi Valley and Tianyan Sect, and your world is the top of the blue sky and the ultimate of the avenue. Now that the hatred is over, you should let it go completely and pursue the vastness and freedom you want."
Jiang Yuebai closed his eyes and nodded, again and again, tears streaming down his face.
Yes, she had always understood it, but understanding and doing were two different things.
Jiang Yuebai took out her pipe, her sickle, and the "Huaxi Notes". These were the last three things she had left on her that were related to her grandfather.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yuebai wrapped his spiritual consciousness and put the three things into the Five Elements Lotus Platform.
Once the decision is made, there will be no more hesitation.
The three things gradually transformed into the five elements of spiritual energy and were injected into the lotus platform, becoming the power to help her grow and fight.
"Bai girl, the past cannot be restored. You must really let it go, instead of hoping to reach the top of the avenue one day and then reverse time. Ask yourself, what exactly are you going against when you practice against the will of heaven? The path to immortality must be fought for, who are you going to fight against?"
Tao Fengnian in front of him and the three things slowly turned into dust.
Jiang Yuebai stretched out his hand and watched the dust fly away from his fingers. There were still traces of tears on his face, but his eyes became calmer.
The tiny buds stretch out their leaves and begin to grow.
"What are you rebelling against? Who are you fighting against?"
Letting go of the last obsession in his heart, Jiang Yuebai unknowingly entered an unspeakable mysterious state.
It's like floating among the clouds, free and easy with the wind.
Because that female fairy, when she first embarked on the path to immortality, was determined to become a spiritual cultivator like her grandfather.
When he saw Fu Yi, he waved his hand to shake the sky, and practiced the art of formation and wanted to become his disciple.
Becoming Jiuchuan's disciple is like being a fish in water. From now on, I will walk the path of the Five Elements with him.
There is also Wuwei Shanren, who longs for her free and easy life, but all of this, in the end, must come down to one person.
Figures flashed before Jiang Yuebai's eyes, then disappeared one after another, and finally returned to the starting point.
Only the fairy in green was left, sitting on the sword with her clothes fluttering.
"Little friend, do you want to compete with me?"
Jiang Yuebai stared at the female fairy, still unable to confirm whether she was the founder of Tianyan Sect, Lu Xingyun, but her intuition told her that this was Lu Xingyun.
"Grandpa always said that I didn't know how high the sky was and how deep the earth was. He always told me to keep my feet on the ground and not to aim too high. It's too difficult for me to compete with you at the moment. From the cultivation panel you gave me, I realized one thing, that is, it is very important to experience achievements and gains. Even if it's just the smallest point, it can give me the motivation to continue."
"If I follow in your footsteps, I won't feel any sense of accomplishment for a long time. It's too difficult to persist, and it's easy to get frustrated and powerless. Besides, as long as I keep moving forward, it's only a matter of time before I surpass you."
"There is also the lesson of Master Fuyi. If I pursue you, I may suffer greater disappointment and setbacks. But there is one person whom I will never be able to surpass, who can give me enough motivation and please me."
The fairy raised her eyebrows and moved closer curiously, "Who is it?"
Jiang Yuebai remained calm and spoke slowly.
“I am stronger today than I was yesterday, but weaker than I will be tomorrow.”
The female fairy on the sword, with an unrestrained smile, has the face of Jiang Yuebai.
When one knows one’s true self, heaven and earth will tremble!

At that time, Wen Miao finished a pot of wine, held a hundred-foot-long scroll on his head, tore a section in his hand, frowned and muttered.
"Ni, ni, ni, the whole article is full of the word ni, I almost can't recognize this word, huh?"
The Heaven and Earth Mirror flew out from his sleeve, and the strong wind turned back and turned into streams of light that gathered in the mirror.
Wen Miao was shocked to find that the spiritual energy on Tianxian Peak was being absorbed crazily.
"I just asked her to ask her a question during her foundation building test. Why did she cause such a big fuss? What is this?!!"
A grand and ethereal aura of Taoism emanated from the mirror, leaving Wen Miao stunned.
Wen Miao grabbed the long scroll on her head to calm her mind. "Although it is only a hint, far from the state of unity between man and nature, but being able to feel this hint is precious and valuable to her at this moment. It will benefit her greatly and will leave behind countless Qi training geniuses in ancient and modern times."
"Such a strong spiritual energy is infused into your body... I'll just help you. Don't waste this gift from heaven and earth."
Wen Miao immediately sank his consciousness into the Mirror of Heaven and Earth, found the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Five Elements Lotus Platform, and injected them into Jiang Yuebai's body.
