Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1588: All Along the Journey

Now they finally understand why the First Master would take such a disciple.

After an hour, surprisingly, she doesn’t feel her Spiritual Power waning, while the mid-stage Nascent Soul already has only half the Spiritual Power left.

He wisely takes a step back. "Elder Tan is truly too formidable. I concede defeat willingly."

Qi Wen nods, holding the sword in one hand, "It’s your turn now."

"Elder Tan, don’t you need to rest?"

"No need, come on."

The two engage in battle; this opponent is a Sword Cultivator with extraordinary swordsmanship.

This time, Qi Wen uses the Green Water Sword Technique, becoming increasingly proficient.

The later-stage Nascent Soul is very surprised. What’s going on? Can’t he defeat a newly formed Nascent Soul female cultivator? Just thinking about it feels discouraging.

Though he thinks this way, his hand movements do not halt, instead they quicken. This is the Sword Cultivator’s instinctive action.

Qi Wen doesn’t dislike this later-stage Nascent Soul for this matter.

The exchange between the two continues for two hours, yet they’re still evenly matched.

Now both are quite impressed. The opponent absolutely relies on true strength.

After another half-hour passes, Qi Wen is tired, and the later-stage Nascent Soul is also tired.

He jumps away. "I admit defeat. Elder Tan is truly admirable."

Having just achieved Nascent Soul, while being later-stage already, unable to decide a winner or loser. That’s losing, and very convincingly at that.

Qi Wen didn’t have any thoughts on it either, since he admitted defeat, there’s nothing more to say. With a bow, she releases the Flying Boat to leave.

"Senior brother, is she that powerful?"

"Now I understand, the First Master accepting disciples must have his reasons."

"Indeed. Compared to her, we seem so inferior."

Qi Wen feels content after the battle.

"Master, can you defeat them?"

"No problem."

"Master, next time we encounter someone blocking us, you should just beat them up."

As Bao Bao predicted, people still come to intercept occasionally; they intercept very politely without any excessive actions.

Golden Core cultivators she cannot bully with authority; Nascent Souls she invites to fight but are refused, which feels quite frustrating.

After a month of travel, finally arrived at the Mortal World’s boundary near the desert.

Tan Qiweng’s reputation has now spread widely. Mu Tian leisurely drinks tea with old friends while waiting for an ingredient to mature.

"Your disciple is quite fierce."

"That girl is just impatient."

"So quickly achieving Nascent Soul is quite impressive."

"Not bad."

"You’re just bragging."

Mu Tian laughs heartily, he is indeed very satisfied with this disciple; it can be said that he’s pleased with Qi Wen in every way.

"Just you, already at late Mahayana stage, with this Ascension Pill, you might really ascend. Plus such an excellent successor."

"I’ve always been very lucky."

"Mu Tian, how confident are you about ascension?"

"Honestly, no confidence. But I have a very mystical feeling, and I must try."

"Good, I’ll wait and see your ascension. That way, I too will have the motivation to continue cultivation."

"You can become a Loose Immortal."

The old man shakes his head, "I don’t want that. If I can’t ascend, what’s the point? Loose Immortal sounds nice but I don’t want it.

Mu Tian, you must successfully ascend."

"Okay, I will definitely succeed."

"Actually, with your current fortune, I believe your chance of ascension is fifty-fifty."

"You’re so confident in me?"

"Yes. Only when you ascend will I have hope."

This old man can advance to Mahayana at any time, but he just doesn’t want to. He’s carefree here. This time Mu Tian visiting reignited his hope.

"You must take care with this Ascension Pill, the ingredients are hard to find."

"Finding them is where your luck comes in."

"Isn’t that the truth? My luck." Mu Tian and his friend didn’t mention that it was all provided by his disciple’s family. Such acknowledgment would thrust them into the limelight.

"Let your disciple come visit, I want to meet them. My grand-disciple is also very excellent."

Mu Tian shakes his head, "That’s truly not possible. That girl has no such notion, firstly. The main reason is her parents.

Her mother should soon achieve Divinity Transformation; they’re so exceptional, coming to Xuantian Sect mainly because my disciple is here. The couple only followed.

They hold this daughter in very high regard. Many openly and secretly expressed interest, but their family has no thoughts about it.

Besides, your grand-disciple is already several hundred years old. My disciple is not even one hundred."

Mu Tian didn’t mention Qi Wen’s age, worried about attracting wrong attention.

"Then forget it. But, I must meet her."

"No problem, that girl went to the Mortal World to experience mortals. Her mother finds her cultivation’s progress too fast, worried about her mindset.

Actually, I feel that girl’s mindset is perfectly fine."

"Experiencing the mortal world? It’s indeed a good approach. I’ll join you to visit Xuantian Sect."

"That’s great, see our outstanding disciple in Xuantian Sect."

Tan Shaoting and his wife also heard about their daughter’s news. They’re confident in Qi Wen now, but knowing some unscrupulous people are targeting their daughter makes her unsatisfied.

Qi Wen doesn’t stop; she goes directly through the Barrier, arriving at the Mortal World, truly feeling very uncomfortable.

"Really, I’ve survived places without Spiritual Energy before, why can’t I handle this place?"

"That’s because previously your cultivation level was low; now you’re advanced, needing more Spiritual Energy."

"That explanation makes sense."

Qi Wen quickly disguises herself, transforming into an ordinary middle-aged woman.

"Is this necessary?"

"Of course. I want to experience the various facets of life."

"As long as you’re willing."

Qi Wen walks slowly; mother says sometimes she’s too anxious, anyway, there’s time, so she’ll take it slow.

Gu Ersheng feels helpless, "What are you doing? Didn’t you say you want to experience life’s facets? If you haven’t seen any people, why walk so slowly?"

"My mother says I’m sometimes impulsive."

"No need to be like this."

"Okay, why are you in such a hurry?"

"It’s you who’s in a hurry; don’t you want to see your little sister being born? Don’t you want to see your mother achieve Divinity Transformation?"

"True, let’s go then."

The Mortal World isn’t devoid of Spiritual Energy; it’s just very thin.

She instantly teleports to the nearest city; Qi Wen has seen ancient descriptions, and comparing them to reality here, they’re quite similar.

After entering the city, feeling it’s decent, she decides to stay here.

Mother gave her plenty of gold and silver, making life here manageable.

She leisurely strolls around the city. Men and women, old and young, of all shapes and sizes.

A large group is gathered ahead. Curious, Qi Wen approaches and discovers it’s the classic scene of selling oneself to bury a father.
