Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 907: Chapter 41: The Heavenly Tribulation

"When I found her, she was already like this." The ginseng spirit baby led Yezi to a farm several kilometers away from Rachel Town.

The farm was purchased by a local American, specifically for foreign tourists visiting nearby.

The ginseng spirit baby found Area 51 too barren, so it came to this farm. The surroundings were serene with birds chirping, green trees encircling, and a large lake that was perfect for convalescence.

The ginseng spirit baby even hired a Chinese maid as a caregiver.

Xiao Xian sat on a bench by the lake. Her hair had grown long and was tied into a ponytail by the maid. In appearance, she looked no different from when Yezi parted with her in Beijing two years ago.

She had grown taller, and the southern sun nurtured her cheeks, making her look quite healthy overall.

But her eyes, like the lake in front of her, showed no ripples.

"Xiao Xian," Yezi took a few steps closer, and the ginseng spirit baby gestured for the maid to step aside, even the usually unruly Little Pig tucked itself quietly on a tree branch.

When the ginseng spirit baby found Xiao Xian, she appeared asleep, or as if she had been through a great fright, repeating the words: "Senior Brother Yun Guanzi."

Yezi didn’t know who Yun Guanzi was, did Xiao Xian ever have someone like that around her?

At that time, a young man named Zhou Ziang was by her side.

The corpse was already decayed. Their hands—or more accurately, hand and skeleton—were tightly clasped together.

Zhou Ziang was dead, which was supposed to be good news, Yezi thought. He should have felt happy.

Yet seeing the current state of Xiao Xian, Yezi didn’t know how to react.

How did Zhou Ziang die, and how did Xiao Xian survive? Seven days and nights, aside from the two separated by life and death, no one would know.

According to initial data from the military and the Mengshan Company, the exact depth the different cultivators ventured underground should have been over a thousand meters. Why Xiao Xian and Zhou Ziang ended up at over ten thousand meters remains a mystery.

The ginseng spirit baby provided a crucial clue: the area where Xiao Xian and others were located might contain the largest discovered deposit of Star Rhinoceros Stone on Earth.

The Star Rhinoceros Stone, also known as Mafu Stone on Earth, is a secret known only to a few from the Beast Star.

Spiritual Rhinoceros Stone is an extremely hard Spirit Stone, and it is the mother stone of the ring stone on Yezi’s hand.

Only a few reserves exist on Earth. For some unknown reason, Xiao Xian and Zhou Ziang entered the middle of the Star Rhinoceros Stone pillar.

"Without a special method or finding the fracture layer, even I would only be trapped to death inside the Star Rhinoceros Stone," admitted the ginseng spirit baby, while discovering nearby Xiao Xian and Zhou Ziang.

There was a narrow crack, just wide enough for a single person to climb through.

The ginseng spirit baby believed this crack was caused by external pressure when the cave above collapsed.

Even so, she couldn’t understand how the extremely hard Spiritual Rhinoceros Stone, which could withstand geological movements, could fracture due to tremors from nine kilometers away.

But this was the most reasonable explanation she could think of; none of the different cultivators, at least those on Earth, could break through the Spiritual Rhinoceros Stone.

Unless someone, disregarding their life, risked damaging their Dantian to self-destruct.

Yezi sighed, gently holding Xiao Xian’s hand, knowing that the warmth in his grip confirmed that Xiao Xian was alive, truly alive.

"Xiao Xian, tell me, what exactly happened down there that day, why did you become like this, was it him..." Yezi’s eyes were clear, as he pressed his forehead against Xiao Xian’s, muttering to himself.

The Star Rhinoceros Ring on Yezi’s hand emitted a dazzling glow.

In Xiao Xian’s eyes, a person’s shadow was reflected.

The shadow became blurred from clear, then turned into a cloud, the cloud brightened, just like the stables stone wall underground that day.

Two years ago, on that day, when Xiao Xian and Zhou Ziang inexplicably fell into that enclosed Mafu Stone Pillar.

Initially, she and Zhou Ziang were not far from Wang Shuai and others, at most about 1,500 meters from the surface.

But after the surface collapse occurred, the Mafu Stone Pillar changed, continuously sinking, and Xiao Xian felt the surrounding oxygen diminishing.
