After practicing diligently for two hundred years, Xie Jiuniang successfully formed an elixir. However, before she had the chance to publicize her achievement, she died on the night she came out of seclusion!
He died while practicing dual cultivation with his Taoist partner Lin Wangchen. He was used as a cauldron by Lin Wangchen and all his cultivation was sucked away, and he died with his life cut off.
Lin Wangchen announced to the public that she had not survived the inner tribulation when she broke through, and was too heartbroken to see anyone, but in fact she had gone into seclusion.
In the past, Lin Wangchen had a good reputation. Although he had many admirers, he was devoted only to his Taoist partner. No one would investigate the truth behind Xie Jiuniang's death, including Xie's family.
However, Xie Jiuniang was reborn!
When he woke up again, his robes were torn and he was lying alone in a small cave.
Her half-open eyes were very calm. She did not have the overwhelming hatred of being betrayed by her lover, but instead a sense of relief that it was just as expected.
There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no good without reason.
Lin Wangchen saved her life time and again, and continued to provide her with a large amount of cultivation resources over the past hundred years. She used to be confused occasionally, but now she finally knows the truth.
To put it simply, she is like a pig raised by Lin Wangchen, and it is time to kill her when she is fat.
That's the fate of domestic pigs, isn't it
Yes, you shouldn't hate...
Xie Jiuniang moved her fingers, slowly sat up, took out the water bag from the storage bag, took a big sip of the spiritual spring water, and her dry throat finally felt better.
Looking around the cave, there was nothing.
It has been nearly two hundred years, but I still vaguely remember what happened today.
When she was eleven years old, she entered Yunmu Mountain for the first time and picked a nearly extinct Xiling grass. As long as she made it into a pill, she could remove one of the spiritual roots.
The so-called spiritual roots are the foundation of human cultivation. There are eight common spiritual roots: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, ice, and thunder.
The fewer spiritual roots one has, the better one’s aptitude.
Those with four or more spiritual roots are considered inferior, those with three spiritual roots are considered medium, those with two spiritual roots are considered superior, and those with one spiritual root are considered the best.
Single spiritual roots are also called heavenly spiritual roots and are the top talents that all major sects focus on competing for and cultivating.
Xie Jiuniang has three spiritual roots of fire, wood and gold, and her aptitude is average. If she doesn't have a great opportunity to build a foundation in this life, it will be the best.
But, there is the Spirit Cleansing Grass!
As long as you develop dual spiritual roots and then go to the sect, your future will be bright.
What she never expected was that the opportunity she worked so hard for would eventually lead to her cousin Xie Ying's success.
As a result, Xie Ying became a natural spiritual root of the fire element, and became famous. He was admitted as a disciple of a powerful person in advance, and became the most popular person for a while. The Xie family also prospered.
The only person who was not angry was her, the one whose opportunity was taken away, weak, pitiful and helpless.
"My friend, are you feeling better?"
A man walked into the cave, wearing a robe with cranes and auspicious clouds, which was worn by a direct disciple of the sect. The robe made his figure look taller, and he had handsome features, a gentle and mellow temperament, and his smile was like a spring breeze.
Lin Wangchen? !
Oh, it's the young him...
Seeing the little girl's dull face, Lin Wangchen thought she was frightened and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, my friend, the lion and tiger are dead. Where do you live? I'll take you home first."
Xie Jiuniang lowered her eyes, bowed her head and remained silent.
What is the current situation
She dug up the spirit-cleansing grass and was chased by a lion and tiger. Lin Wangchen, who passed by, rescued her for the first time and placed her in a cave while she was unconscious...
Today was also the first time she and him met.
Xie Jiuniang shook her head and refused the other party's offer to see her off, then stood up and walked out.
Lin Wangchen looked at the little girl's back as she walked away, seeming to be thinking about something.
Xie Jiuniang didn't care whether Lin Wangchen would be suspicious or not. At this moment, she just wanted to stay as far away from him as possible, for fear that she would not be able to help but swing her sword at him.
Lin Wangchen has already established his foundation, and he cannot be killed by her little Qi training. If she dares to reveal even a hint of murderous intent, she will be the one lying dead the next moment.
Lin Wangchen has never been a good man.
The people had just walked out of the outskirts of Yunmu Mountain.
"Ninth sister!"
A round-faced girl ran over eagerly, followed by several Xie family guards.
The round-faced girl grabbed Xie Jiuniang and checked her injuries from left to right. She said with lingering fear: "Jiumei, you almost scared me to death. I thought you..."
"It's my fault. I made Fourth Sister worried."
Xie Jiuniang had some feelings for the fourth sister, but her vision was as bad as hers and she also fell in love with a scumbag.
Xie Jiuniang disappeared in Yunmu Mountain, and the clan immediately arranged people to look for her. After searching for half a day without finding her, everyone had already given up hope, but Xie Jiuniang came out on her own.
Surrounded by everyone, he returned to the Xie family.
Xie Jiuniang asked her fourth sister to take him to the clan doctor for a checkup. After the checkup, she found that the injury was not serious, so she returned to her residence.
Xie Si Niang silently opened the isolation formation of the room to prevent outsiders from investigating with their spiritual senses before asking, "Ninth sister, tell me the truth, why did you go to Yunmu Mountain?"
"I..." Think about it first.
Xie Jiuniang thought carefully about this time in her previous life...
Xie Si Niang poked her forehead with her index finger and said, "You want to fool me, right? Don't even think about it. Tell the truth now. I've only been in seclusion for a few days, and you almost got into trouble."
"It seems to be because..."
Xie Jiuniang touched her slightly painful forehead and said, "My Qi-nourishing Pills were withheld again, so I wanted to try my luck at the outskirts of Yunmu Mountain and see if I could pick some low-level spiritual plants to sell."
Xie Si Niang frowned and asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you were detained?"
Xie Jiuniang replied: "You are in seclusion."
"Yes, but how many spiritual beads can a low-level spiritual plant be worth? One thousand spiritual beads can be exchanged for one spiritual stone. Even if you collect a basketful of them, you still can't get enough to get one."
Xie Si Niang became more and more angry as she spoke, and immediately said, "The eldest wife is bullying an honest man. No! I will accompany you to ask for an explanation from the eldest uncle. He is the one who issued the family's share. Who else can we ask if not him?"
"Forget it, it's useless."
"Are you so stupid? Why don't you say anything when you suffer a loss?"
"That can't be helped. My parents are not at home, and I am just a kid who can't win." It's not that Xie Jiuniang hasn't fought before, but no one took her seriously. "My aunt said that she would give it to my eldest sister first, and when my eldest sister has made it in the future, she will return me a foundation-building pill."
Xie Si Niang was shocked, "You believe it?"
"It's not important." Xie Jiuniang narrowed her eyes.
What did my aunt say at that time? She said that the major sects would be recruiting new disciples in the next year, so she should use the resources for my eldest sister first.
As long as the eldest sister has a promising future and finds a good master, it will be a great thing for the family. By then, not to mention the small Qi-nourishing Pills, even the Foundation-Building Pills can be obtained for her.
This is just empty talk!
My aunt herself is still stuck at the peak of Qi training.
Xie Jiuniang was young but not stupid. She was not afraid to go to her uncle to argue with him since her grandfather could not see her. However, her uncle was shameless and told her not to act like a child.
Even if you don't fight for the bread, you must fight for your dignity.
I rushed to Yunmu Mountain...
Thinking back to her youthful and ambitious self, Xie Jiuniang felt mixed emotions.
Naive, impulsive, and simple-minded.
She can't beat her uncle and aunt who are good at dealing with people, nor can she beat her eldest sister who has inherited a lot from her parents.
It was Xie Jiuniang who had been reborn and felt that it was a good rounding off, as the first wife owed her a foundation-building pill.
Ps: The levels of cultivation in this book are: Qi training, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, and spirit transformation.
This is an era where cultivators are as numerous as dogs.
