Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 925: Chapter 47: Decisive Victory

Xiao Xian’s words were powerful, each hitting Xu Lan Ya forcefully.

Two years ago, she wasn’t eligible to participate in the international exchange, and even now, with the assistance of rhinestone, she still couldn’t take part in the Cangqiong Palace’s selection.

The blood in Xu Lan Ya’s veins nearly erupted, her eyes filled with hatred and anger, "Stop bringing up the past; who knows how you survived abroad two years ago. Maybe you caused the death of..."

"Slap, slap," Xu Lan Ya covered her face, her vision blurred momentarily, she hadn’t even seen how Xiao Xian had approached her and delivered the two slaps.

Wasn’t Xiao Xian always just a new student good at growing plants? Wasn’t she always an incompetent newcomer who quickly rose by currying favor with those robots, Juliet and Romeo?

"You dare hit me, you all..." Xu Lan Ya helplessly looked around, turned to Li Ye, but he only watched Xiao Xian with concern.

"Don’t bring up the past again; you and the Xu Family can’t afford it." Xiao Xian raised an utterly ordinary ginseng seed in her hand: "Regardless of whether Senior Brother Wang or you have doubts about my words, it’s fine. I will demonstrate the planting process once more. Take a good look, this is a ’Genetic Ginseng Seed’, only one try."

In Xiao Xian’s hand, clusters of golden gas enveloped the seed.

The seed trembled violently, a black gas peeled off, while the golden gas continued to sink in, altering the seed’s surface, fine lines like hair covered it.

The fragile seed coat split, a hint of green emerged from the top, tender leaves unfurled, followed by fragile roots, then rapidly growing sturdy stems, finally culminating in elegant floral fragrance.

As if years had passed, yet it was only seconds, Xiao Xian’s hand held no soil, no water, but it seemed to have experienced the entire lifecycle of a plant.

"Golden Skill, ’Life and Death,’" Xiao Xian said, as the ginseng in her hand turned into ash.

Golden Skill? Xu Lan Ya was astounded; her face still stung, but her throat ached even more, a fear from deep within rose continuously, threatening to burst through her throat.

It wasn’t her first time witnessing a Golden Skill; for example, Ye Heng’s skill accelerated plant growth tenfold, while Wang Shuai’s skill, capable of rapid spiritual healing of injured plant and animal cells, was known. But never had there been anyone with a Golden Skill like Xiao Xian’s—from dead to living, instantly igniting life in a seed deemed incapable of sprouting.

What kind of skill is that?

The other witnesses of the same miracle scene were equally shocked.

Wang Shuai stood out as the most surprised.

He struggled to find words, he even wanted to ask: "Two years ago, what happened underground that led Xiao Xian to comprehend such a skill."

"The verdict should be amendable, Senior Brother Wang. Before the trial, I would like your assistance in arranging a meeting with your Grandma, Senior Zhang, Zhang Lvxiao." Xiao Xian spoke no further, her time was limited, and there was much awaiting her.

She was not oblivious to Xu Lan Ya’s petty tricks; the ten meticulously-cut rhinestones as gifts, Lady Serlin was indeed generous, proving her possession of quite a few rhinestones.

Thinking of rhinestones reminded Xiao Xian of Yun Guanzi, dead two years ago due to rhinestones.

Until he died in her arms, Xiao Xian realized Earth was unsuitable for Yun Guanzi’s cultivation.

She survived on Earth, severely lacking in spiritual power, thanks to the peculiar space and sugarcane seedling. To sustain spiritual power and cultivation, Zhou Ziang absorbed spiritual energy, mostly relying on the rhinestone-maintained Underground Botanical Garden from Beast Star.

Though rhinestones were valuable, during cosmic transport and burial into Earth, they absorbed significant interstellar dark matter, causing heavy rhinestone users to become cold, violent, and indifferent.

Reborn as Zhou Ziang, Yun Guanzi wasn’t as fortunate as she was. His space was filled with fickle spiritual power.

Before dying, he infused Xiao Xian with his last trace of pure Golden-grade Spiritual Power.

It was that last trace of spiritual power from the dying Zhou Ziang that allowed Xiao Xian to survive strongly in solitude and darkness thousands of meters underground.
