Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1397: Preparations

After the family finished eating, Tan Shaoting led his wife back to the room. They hadn’t been together for three months, and he was a bit overwhelmed.

"Yuanyuan, being away from you for so long has been really rough for me. If it weren’t for your advice to stay away, I would have come looking for you all a long time ago."

"You should focus on your cultivation."

"I can’t cultivate properly unless you’re by my side."

Tan Shaoting wasn’t lying; if Su Yuanyuan wasn’t nearby, he couldn’t concentrate on cultivation.

"How was your time outside? Did you gain much?"

"I’ve made great progress in swordsmanship. In the next few days, I plan to visit Bishui Peak."

"Are you going to take on tasks at Bishui Peak again?"

"It’s the only way to get in there. Sneaking around isn’t a good idea.

Besides, I’m afraid it might stir up too much trouble."

"It shouldn’t be a problem. Tomorrow, let’s see if there are any suitable tasks."

"You should focus on your cultivation. I believe that during the Foundation Establishment stage, I should have no issues entering the preliminary selection.

Qi Wen didn’t have any problems during the Qi Refinement Realm, so now it’s up to you."

"I’m sure I can manage. I’ve become familiar with Divine Punishment now. With it, I’ll be much more effective."

"That’s great. Hopefully, two years from now, we can all be together."

Tan Shaoting wanted to go further, but was rejected by Su Yuanyuan, enough was enough.

The next day, the family of three practiced swordsmanship at the peak, and Tan Shaoting watched them, mother and daughter, as they made great progress. He truly needed to work hard so as not to lag too far behind.

Qi Wen was also very diligent. After finishing, "You two can try out your spell techniques at the Trial Tower."

"Is it safe there?"

"Safe. You need to use spells."

Su Yuanyuan also knew she needed to practice her spells, and she aimed to master instantaneous casting.

"Alright, I’ll settle the senior’s affairs first."

"Mom, I won’t wait for you. We can’t be together."

"Okay. You go by yourself. Do you have enough points?"

"Yes, I have plenty. I won’t need to complete tasks for several years."

The couple entered the task hall together, and Su Yuanyuan found the steward once more. "Steward, are there any ongoing array maintenance tasks at Bishui Peak?"

"Are you interested in Bishui Peak’s tasks?" the steward asked curiously.

"Yes, the last time I took a task at Bishui Peak, the place was unbelievably beautiful. If there are any more tasks at Bishui Peak, I’d take them just to unwind."

Su Yuanyuan had thought it over. Being odd might be more believable. Even if someone doubts her reasons, she can explain them.

"Steward, as you can see, the array maintenance task at Bishui Peak has already been completed."

Su Yuanyuan felt a bit helpless. Chen Xue Man wanted to reincarnate, but could she really not go in?

"Are there maintenance tasks available on other peaks?"

She needed to keep performing.

"Sister, there’s another task at Bishui Peak."

"A sorting task?"

"Yes, it’s organizing spirit plants and cleaning several large halls. The task doesn’t offer many points, and it has a five-day time limit."

Actually, cultivators at the Qi Refining Seventh Level could take this task, and it’s just come down. Employing Foundation Establishment cultivators for it is quite a waste.

Nonetheless, she currently wants tasks at Bishui Peak, so of course, she must oblige.

Su Yuanyuan now exchanges words with Chen Xue Man. Five days should be enough.

"Thank you, senior brother. I’ll take this task. I mainly just want to see Bishui Peak."

"Alright, I’ll arrange it for you,"

Su Yuanyuan left the hall with the task token and Bishui Peak’s array key. "You go cultivate at the Trial Tower. I’ll be at Bishui Peak for these five days."

"Alright, I’ll head to the Trial Tower as well." His wife and daughter returned, and only then did Tan Shaoting feel reassured.

After entering Bishui Peak, Su Yuanyuan headed directly to the mountain top.

Chen Xue Man emerged from the soul nourishing wood. "Young one. Operate at night."

"Alright, senior, you carry on. I’ll organize the spirit plants."

Su Yuanyuan wanted to quickly head to the Trial Tower. Spells are her weak point now. While she could be a sword cultivator, she still needed to master spells, and the selection and ranking contests prohibit the use of the Bishui Sword Technique.

One can never be too careful, who knows if someone might recognize the Bishui Sword Technique, Su Yuanyuan had decided that if she used the Bishui Sword Technique, the opponent would be done for.

Hence, she had many more magic techniques and swordsmanship to practice.

"Go ahead, thank you,"

Su Yuanyuan nodded and left the peak, organizing the spirit plants wasn’t troublesome, it was just a matter of waving her hand and it’d be done.

The area was quite large though. Qi Refinement Realm cultivators might not have ample spiritual power.

Su Yuanyuan would always complete tasks in advance, so she had flexibility in case anything happened.

There were many precious spirit plants, but Su Yuanyuan wouldn’t take any action.

If the things are great, she could figure out ways through other channels.

The morning passed with walks and pauses, Cloud Rain Technique, weeds were cleaned up, and pests were eradicated.

Descending from the mountain was actually quite fast.

Su Yuanyuan felt this was rather nice. She’d also practiced her spells.

On the mountain top, Chen Xue Man’s soul body sat in the hall, staring blankly. Thinking about leaving, this lifetime is over.

There’s nothing wrong, right? Leaving now, she would return sooner or later.

What is there to hold onto, leaving means standing under the sun.

Thinking through this lifetime, knowing her memory would remain, her father had arranged her path ahead, but regarding memories of Su Yuanyuan, they would likely be erased?

It wasn’t a big deal. When she returns, she’d find a way to reconnect with Su Yuanyuan’s family, right?

Su Yuanyuan returned that night. The long-armed ape would cast a spell to erase memories of the space.

"Erase all memories regarding our family as well."

"Is that okay?"

"What’s wrong with it?"

"If Chen Xue Man retains your family’s memories, it could benefit you in the future."

Su Yuanyuan chuckled, "We’ve never needed such treatment."

"Alright, I’ll erase memories of you,"

Su Yuanyuan reached the mountain top. Seeing Chen Xue Man under the moonlight, "Senior, are you ready?"

"Yes. I’m ready."

"And ask if they can bind my storage ring and soul."

Su Yuanyuan gave her an affirmative answer.

Though it sounded terrifying to hear, it truly wasn’t difficult to execute. Especially concerning space, it was utterly simple.

Chen Xue Man opened her eyes, unfamiliar with Su Yuanyuan, but said nothing. After all, this junior appeared at her departure point.

The proud Chen Xue Man once again. She performed the spell, soon a black hole appeared in the sky, growing larger.

Without looking back, she directly entered.
