Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1398: Departure

Su Yuanyuan let out a sigh of relief as she watched the sky close up; that one had finally left. It wasn’t that she disliked her, it was mainly that having a soul body right at her side was something she really wasn’t used to.

Now it was good, she had left. And there was nothing here that concerned her anymore.

The Spiritual Power here was so good that wasting it would be a real pity. She simply sat down outside and started cultivating.

She had thought it through: before the ranking competition, it would be best if she could reach Late-stage Foundation Establishment; that way her chances of winning would be greater.

So she had to put in the effort during this stretch; she wasn’t that far from Foundation Establishment Fifth Layer.

She had no idea that everything on Bishui Peak was being watched by others.

"Ancestor."

"Sect Master, you’ve seen it too. This woman must be the destined one the Ascension Ancestor spoke of."

"Yes, Ancestor, I understand."

He had seen it as well. Otherwise the Bishui Fairy wouldn’t have brought her back.

"Pay more attention to her, give her some conveniences."

"Ancestor, I understand. I will keep a close eye on her."

Su Yuanyuan went down the mountain the following afternoon and headed to the mission hall to hand in her mission. For this kind of mission, points would only be recorded after the Steward checked it. As for the Spirit Stones, she could come and collect them anytime afterward.

She didn’t go back, but went directly to the Trial Tower. That father and daughter had already gone in; she had to hurry as well.

The three of them, as a family of three, were all training nervously.

Chen Xiaorui could now be said to have pretty much digested the Evil Spirit; her personality had changed a lot, and the Evil Spirit still had some influence on her.

She had also gone from Qi Cultivation Fifth Level up to Qi Refining Seventh Level. Now she could already be considered a cultivator in Late-stage Qi Cultivation.

Once again she was isolated by the cultivators here, mainly because she had been rejected by Tan Shaoting.

There was nothing she could do about it now; she could only think of going to the back mountain of Xuantian Sect to try her luck.

At fifteen, Chen Xiaorui was still quite pretty; among the female cultivators she could rank fairly near the front.

When she appeared at the entrance of Wuya Mountain, she was blocked by several cultivators in Late-stage Qi Cultivation.

"Junior Sister, want to team up with us? Wuya Mountain is quite dangerous."

Chen Xiaorui saluted properly. "Thank you, three Senior Brothers, but I won’t trouble you. I only want to see if there are any Spirit Plants my Senior Brother at home needs around the outer area. I won’t go deep in, so I won’t disturb the three Senior Brothers."

"Junior Sister, what are you looking for? We can help."

"Thank you for the three Seniors’ kindness, but I’d better look myself, I don’t dare delay your time."

She had already prepared herself. Just looking at these three cultivators, they didn’t seem like good people.

"Junior Sister, why be so distant?" As he spoke, the three of them had already surrounded Chen Xiaorui.

She clenched her teeth inwardly; this time, no matter what, she would fight it out.

In her previous life she had at least been a Golden Core Cultivator. Even though she’d been well protected and whatever she needed would appear before her, her breadth of knowledge was still there.

"Three Seniors, I really won’t disturb you."

"Junior Sister, why are you being so polite?"

Hearing their words grow more and more improper, Chen Xiaorui had already tightened her grip on the dagger in her hand.

One cultivator at Qi Refining Eighth Layer leaned in, wanting to touch Chen Xiaorui’s face.

At that moment she suddenly exploded into action, instantly taking down that Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator. Taking advantage of the other two being stunned, she immediately finished off that other Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator.

Now only one cultivator at Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer was left; he wasn’t going to be easy to deal with. But things had already reached this point, she could only keep going.

The two of them faced off like that, and Chen Xiaorui also drew out her only Magic Artifact—a sword.

In her previous life, her master had been a Sword Cultivator. Her Senior Brother had been extremely outstanding as well. But she had disliked how exhausting it was and had ended up becoming a Magic Cultivator instead.

In this life she had slowly been practicing the sword as well, but talent was truly something one was born with. Still, she was much better than in her previous life.

Actually she was still more used to using Spells; this sword was just to give herself courage.

This cultivator at Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer was anxious now too; he hadn’t expected they’d misjudged her. They had thought she was a little lamb, but it turned out she was quite dangerous.

Now he was the only one left. It seemed this woman couldn’t be allowed to live.

Chen Xiaorui was waiting for the other party to make a move; she had already decided whether to use the sword to confuse him or rely on Spells.

"You damned girl, today is the day you die."

Chen Xiaorui wanted to provoke him. "It’s still not certain who’s dying. You’ve committed so many evil deeds, even the heavens won’t spare you."

"Hehe, then I’ll just commit one more evil deed."

Just as he charged at her and released a Spell, Chen Xiaorui suddenly dove into the ground.

Her Earth Spirit Root had the highest Spirit Root Value. Earth Attribute Magic was what she was most adept at.

Once underground, she quickly located that cultivator and immediately cast a Vine Technique, twining vines around his feet.

The cultivator at Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer wasn’t weak; he quickly severed the vines, and his sword stabbed down.

Chen Xiaorui had already left that spot. The two of them continued to exchange blows like this.

Chen Xiaorui’s combat experience was, in any case, richer than that of a cultivator at Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer.

She was still forced back up to the surface. In the end, she relied on a sneak attack with a Spell to kill that cultivator at Qi Cultivation Tenth Layer.

She was injured as well. She quickly collected the three Storage Bags and weapons, then burned the three of them to ashes with a fire, before clutching her chest and heading home.

She was injured too, and not lightly, but in the end she was the one who survived.

Back home, she activated the Array, and only then did she cough up a mouthful of blood.

Checking the three Storage Bags, she found healing Elixirs inside.

It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that she felt much better; only then did she have time to sort through her spoils.

These three cultivators were quite rich; there were a total of a thousand Spirit Stones, as well as all kinds of Elixirs, some talismans, Jade Scrolls, and books.

Chen Xiaorui smiled; for a while she wouldn’t have to worry about resources.

She went out into the courtyard, looked up at the moon in the sky, and thought that her days from now on would be like this—no matter what, she had to work hard.

Only when she was once again on the verge of death did she truly awaken; she absolutely couldn’t go on living muddle-headed like this.

No matter what level she could cultivate to in this life, she would still do her best.

Tan Shaoting suddenly felt much lighter for some inexplicable reason. Unable to find the cause, he continued cultivating.

As for Nangong Xingyun, after leaving Xuantian Sect, he didn’t return to Future City but instead went to another subordinate city of the Nangong Family, which he often visited.

This time he had come mainly because he wanted to stay here for a period of time.

Later he thought back to what Tan Shaoting had said. His understanding was that he could only be with one woman, and she had to be young, and of course her Spirit Root couldn’t be too poor; otherwise, even if he did have offspring, if their Spirit Root aptitude was bad it would be useless.

The Nangong Family’s affiliated Cultivation Families were also extremely numerous.

He stayed in his own residence and didn’t go to the family estate.

He told his subordinates to bring over ten female cultivators at Qi Cultivation Third or Fourth Layer, around fifteen or sixteen years old, the next day.

He tested their Spirit Roots again, and in the end only three female cultivators with three spiritual roots were left.
