บท 10: Chapter 10 The Hidden Truth of the Past Life

Xie Jiuniang did not deliberately avoid them.

In this life, she was not familiar with Lin Wangchen; they had only met briefly a few times. Moreover, she had already disguised herself when she came out. Now let alone Lin Wangchen, even Xie Si'niang might not recognize her here.

Besides, dodging would only raise more suspicion.

Lin Wangchen and his party left.

Xie Jiuniang cast a frontal glance at the man with grizzled hair; his face was very young, and the aura around him was as gentle as the moon reflected in water.

She had not seen this man in her previous life.

However, the elegant white robe made of Ice Silkworm Silk, embroidered with blue star pattern on the edges, combined with his prematurely greying hair, let her guess his origin in an instant.

He was from Tianji Building!

Everyone in the Cultivation World knew that Tianji Building was a group of madmen who dedicated themselves to studying astrology and divination. Revealing the secrets of heaven could damage themselves, including sacrificing their own lifespan.

Normal people would not learn it!

Xie Jiuniang successfully entered the private room they had previously occupied. Her goal in coming to Xianlai Residence was exactly this.

She sent the waiter away, closed the door of the private room, and even pulled down the windows, then took out the Time Leaf.

Time Retrospection—

[About three quarters of an hour earlier, Lin Wangchen and the white-robed man with long, grizzled hair sat in the private room, having ordered a pot of Spiritual Tea and sitting opposite each other.]

The white-robed man said, "The Wu Family and Gongsun Family have also found their way to Yunmu City, I fear it won't be long before they lock onto the Xie Family."

"That's not a problem, if we were able to find this place, they were bound to come sooner or later."

"Aren't you going to arrange for someone to intercept them?"

"No need, everyone relies on their own skills, we can't break the rules." As soon as Lin Wangchen finished speaking, he suddenly received a Sound Transmission Talisman.

After crushing the Sound Transmission Talisman, a man's voice immediately rang out: "Reporting to young master, the abnormal situation of the Xie Family in the past few days has been identified, it is Xie Haoran's younger sister, Xie Ying, who has suddenly become a Fire System Single Spiritual Root."

"How could it be Xie Ying?" Lin Wangchen was surprised.

The white-robed man said, "Could she be the one you are looking for? Changing from Dual Spiritual Roots to a Single Spiritual Root requires great fortune; it wouldn't be too much to call her the Child of Destiny."

Lin Wangchen fell silent for a moment before saying, "It's not necessarily her, I respectfully ask Brother Gong to make a move once more."

"Are you sure? If I make another move, the favor I owe you will be repaid."

"Much appreciated, Brother Gong."

Following that, the white-robed man took out a smooth yet ancient-looking Tortoise Shell, cleansed his hands, lit incense, and started divining.

Suddenly, a flash of silver light passed through the Tortoise Shell.

Crack.

The Tortoise Shell cracked from the inside out.

The white-robed man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a 'puh' and his complexion visibly paled by degrees.

Lin Wangchen asked anxiously, "Are you alright, Brother Gong?"

"I was careless and got backlash, but thankfully I interrupted it in time. The injury will heal with some rest." The white-robed man waved his hand, signaling him to sit down, "I apologize, Brother Lin, I've come up empty-handed."

Lin Wangchen said in shock and doubt, "How could this happen?"

"According to the records, under such circumstances, either the Child of Destiny has awakened, or the other party has obtained a chance to defy the heavens and change fate..."

The two talked a bit more.

Lin Wangchen then said, "Defying the heavens and changing fate, huh? Then Xie Ying does indeed seem most like the Child of Destiny. But regardless of the truth, the matter of Yunmu City having a Single Spiritual Root must be reported to the Sect in a timely manner."

"Brother Lin is as thoughtful as always; as long as we belong to the same Sect as the Child of Destiny, we won't lack opportunities to get in touch."

One claimed he would contact the Sect, another said he needed to take his leave.

Both left the private room without uttering another useful word.

The silver glow in the private room dissipated, revealing Xie Jiuniang's figure completely. At this moment, her heart was profoundly shocked.

The Child of Destiny?!

In the Cultivation World, it was said that the Child of Destiny, the favored one of the Heavenly Dao, would be protected by great fortune and have profound opportunities, always turning danger into safety.

The Tianji Building predicted that the Child of Destiny would come from the Xie Family of Yunmu City? And some people had already received the message and were watching closely.

Piecing together the various events of her past life, Xie Jiuniang's expression grew even more inscrutable.

The Child of Destiny, also known as the darling of the Heavenly Dao, was also referred to as the Child of Fortune.

In her past life, she once read a strange tale in a miscellaneous book, which described how a certain family in the Cultivation World relied on hunting one Child of Destiny after another for countless years. It also stated that the Child of Destiny could not be killed when their fortune was at its peak. Forcibly killing them would bring about heavenly retribution; injuring them would lead to backlash. However, the opportunities and fortune that belonged to the Child of Destiny could also be seized through proper methods, if done correctly.

In her previous life, aside from Lin Wangchen, after she left Yunmu City, she also gradually got to know some friends with exceptional talents, most of whom were figures on the list of prodigies.

The process of becoming acquainted was varied, and she had never doubted anything; they were all pleasant to be around, always rushing forward to solve her troubles at the first sign, and would often find excuses to give her gifts.

Sometimes, out of courtesy, she had no choice but to reciprocate, often giving away things she had just acquired...

Haha!

Xie Jiuniang laughed.

She laughed silently until tears flowed.

Now what didn't she understand? Lin Wangchen and the man in white spoke of the awakening of destiny and being backfired by divination, but Xie Jiuniang didn't believe it.

The silver glow that caused the tortoise shell to burst, and the breath that leaked out was clearly unique to the Time Leaf. It was the Time Leaf that had covered for her in time, concealing the destiny from the malicious prying of others and taking the opportunity to counterattack.

So, the real Child of Destiny was not Xie Ying, but she, Xie Jiuniang.

Excellent!

Tianji Building truly sickened her...

In her past life, how innocent had she been? After being exposed by the Tianji Building, she remained unaware while surrounded by wolves.

Xie Jiuniang clenched her small silver teeth in secret hatred.

She would wait until the day she grew strong, and then she would seek vengeance, paying it back double, making them taste the bitterness of having their fortunes stolen and their paths to immortality severed.

Merely severing their paths to immortality was not enough to quell her hatred!

However, the Lin Family, Wu Family, and Gongsun Family were all top families in the Cultivation World with a history of ten thousand years, with at least two or three who had undergone Divinity Transformation in public, and undoubtedly even more in secret.

A head-on conflict was impossible.

Even the entire Xie Family couldn't stand against them!

Vengeance would require long-term planning and covert action.

Now these people mistakenly believed that her cousin Xie Ying was the Child of Destiny... perhaps, she could use that to her advantage? With the Time Leaf to conceal her, she wouldn't need to expose herself.

By hiding in the dark, she could gain the upper hand and strike when the time was right.

"Tap, tap tap."

The sound of knocking came.

The inn's waiter called out, "Young master inside, I've brewed a pot of tea for you. Is it convenient to open the door now?"

"Oh," Xie Jiuniang composed herself, adjusting the emotions on her little face before going to open the door, "Come in. Prepare a few of your signature dishes quickly, two or three will do."

"Right away, I'll go and tell the kitchen for you."

"Make it fast..."


บท 11: Chapter 11: Devoted Cultivation, Parents Return

Xie Jiujiu finished a hearty meal and, after giving He Xiang a few instructions, returned home to continue her secluded cultivation.

Meanwhile, the news of Xie Ying becoming a Heavenly Spiritual Root finally spread, causing a sensation throughout Yunmu City.

The City Lord Residence celebrated joyously every day, hosting grand banquets.

The main branch of the family, still worried that Xie Jiujiu might cause trouble, specifically had people keep watch over her, but to their surprise, days passed with nothing but calm seas and gentle breezes.

The three members of the family gathered privately together.

Chen Guan, the great aunt from the eldest branch, couldn't help but grumble, "That girl, always in secluded cultivation, didn't even show up for Yingying's great celebration."

"Shut up," Xie's great-uncle, who dearly hoped Xie Jiujiu would not appear, said, "Why bring her up when everything's fine as it is?"

"Lately, that girl from the second branch has been parading around in front of me in Yingying's clothes, infuriating me. I sent someone to inquire and found out that last time she only sold most of her things, she must still have some left, and I want to take back some of those..."

"Enough!" Xie's great-uncle interrupted Chen Guan, "Haven't you been tricked by her enough last time? I'm warning you, don't think about targeting Jiujiu again. The couple from the third branch is coming back in a few days. If this blows up, none of us will save face. Yingying doesn't lack those things now."

Xie's great-uncle, basking in the glory of his daughter's achievements, did not want to court any more trouble. Mainly because his father was very dissatisfied with him over the third branch's affairs and had already stripped him of his duties.

With nothing else to do, he could focus on cultivation, but that also meant no more perks.

Chen Guan, accustomed to suppressing the third branch, had gradually become biased. But, after her husband's reminder, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

"Mother, there's no need to take it to heart. Once I join the Sect, I will definitely be given importance. My status will be incomparable to Jiujiu's, and it's not worth losing my dignity over some trivial things,"

Xie Ying had heard about the incident at the Youth Martial Hall square but thinking of the bright future provided by her Heavenly Spiritual Root, a sense of superiority quickly filled her heart again.

The gap between her and Xie Jiujiu would only grow larger as time passed.

Xie Jiujiu, the very person being discussed, was at that moment deeply engrossed in her cultivation. Her room was arranged with a Spirit Gathering Array Plate, and the spiritual energy within it had become slightly denser.

Xie Jiujiu was already at the midstage of Qi Cultivation, and the effect of using Qi Nourishing Pills for cultivation was not as good as before. Continued use would have little effect, but the accumulation of poison from the pills was not insignificant, and just purging the poison would take no small amount of time.

Reluctantly, she had to switch to the more potent Spirit-Gathering Pills, which were generally used by those in the later stages of Qi Cultivation.

Once a Spirit-Gathering Pill was consumed, her body was immediately filled with a vast amount of spiritual energy, five times that of a Qi Nourishing Pill.

Xie Jiujiu hurried to calm her breathing and concentrate, activating her cultivation technique, striving to condense and refine the spiritual energy into spiritual power, purify it, and incorporate it into her dantian.

Cultivation was a very monotonous process.

Continuously inhaling spiritual energy, condensing spiritual power, purifying it, and then storing it in the dantian, the cycle repeated over and over.

Thus, cultivation also required a stable disposition, the ability to withstand loneliness, to remain focused, and only those with great perseverance had the chance to reach great heights and stand above others.

Xie Jiujiu had no choice.

To survive, she must cultivate desperately and continuously grow stronger.

Fortunately, she didn't need to worry about her state of mind not being sufficient until the Golden Core Stage, which saved her a great deal of time otherwise spent on breakthroughs. As long as there was enough spiritual energy, she was confident that she could reach Core Formation within ten years and also fortify her foundation.

Two hours passed.

Halted her cultivation for a brief time, Xie Jiujiu then took out a Talisman Brush, blank Talisman Papers, and beast blood mixed with cinnabar, and began to draw talismans at her desk.

She was creating several common rank-one Spirit Talismans.

For example:

Offensive types like Fire Talismans and Explosive Talismans; defensive types like Diamond Talismans and Amulets; supportive types like Invisibility Talismans, Insect-Repelling Talismans, and Featherweight Talismans.

There were many types, enriching the inventory.

She would continue only until the spiritual power in her dantian was depleted and she felt mentally exhausted, at which point she would consume another Spirit-Gathering Pill to recover her spiritual power.

After absorbing all the spiritual energy from the Spirit Pill and restoring the previously depleted spiritual power, she would continue crafting talismans until she was nearly depleted again, and then meditate to recuperate.

Xie Jiujiu did this intentionally; in her previous life, some disciples in the Sect had found that practicing in this way for just a year or so could reap many benefits.

Firstly, the speed of cultivation would increase, Divine Sense would slightly expand, spiritual power would purify, the foundation would become more solid, and the meridians would unwittingly widen.

Of course, the precondition for daring to cultivate in this manner was to be in a safe environment because when one's spiritual power was exhausted, encountering any danger could spell the end.

Several days passed.

Having reached the later phase of the fifth level of Qi Cultivation and on the verge of a breakthrough, Xie Jiujiu finally ceased her cultivation.

She began to organize the contents of the storage bag.

Items to be sold, kept for personal use, frequently used, and infrequently used were all sorted and arranged, clear at a glance.

Earlier, Xie Jiujiu had already etched protective arrays onto the blank array plates, which were foundational formations modified by the Sect. Activated, they were more effective than the array plates currently used in her room, saving a third of the spirit stones.

Xie Jiujiu took one out and replaced it.

Once the formation was shut down, she immediately sensed something unusual outside.

All was quiet for a long while.

Suddenly, a gentle female voice called from outside, "Jiujiu, have you finished your seclusion?"

Hearing this voice from the depths of her memories that she dared not recall, tears unconsciously streamed down Xie Jiujiu's face.

Mo Lan stepped inside lightly and immediately felt a pain in her heart upon seeing this scene, and in her panic, she rushed forward to embrace her daughter.

"Jiujiu, Mother was wrong. I shouldn't have left you alone in the clan."

"Wah…"

Xie Jiujiu couldn't help but throw herself into her mother's arms and sobbed loudly.

Her crying was heart-wrenching, as if her very soul was being torn apart.

It was as if all the fear and pain repressed in her heart were being released at once.

Since her rebirth, she hadn't cried even when faced with oppression from the main house or even threats of death.

The living presence of her mother, Mo Lan, shattered her facade of strength, striking directly at her vulnerability.

Intertwined with her cries were sadness, grief, and a great deal of venting, along with a slight, indiscernible joy of reunion.

Now, Mo Lan regretted it to death; she should have taken her daughter with her to the Mortal Realm three years ago.

Three years ago, her daughter was only eight years old.

But going to the Mortal Realm was not conducive to cultivation so she and her husband, thinking they were doing what was best for their daughter, left her in the clan.

Standing beside the mother and daughter now was a tall and honest-looking man, his eyes red as he embraced them both in his arms.

Through tears, Mo Lan pounded on him a few times, sobbing, "It's all your fault! It's all your fault… We should never have left our daughter behind. She was so young."

"Yes, it's my fault."

Xie Shen returned home filled with regret after hearing about the injustices his daughter had faced. He had not anticipated that the main house could be so shameless as to harshly treat a child and even steal her opportunities.

The day before, he had gone to reason with his father and ended up being severely beaten. His father said the weak have no right to talk about justice…

Mo Lan spoke angrily, "None of your brothers are any good!"

"Second Brother is actually quite good…"

"Good at what? I don't believe he didn't know about the injustice Jiujiu suffered!"

"…" Xie Shen had no rebuttal.

After crying her heart out, Xie Jiujiu felt much lighter, as if a heavy burden had suddenly been lifted from her shoulders.

Hearing her mother even blame her second uncle, Xie Jiujiu hurriedly spoke up with a hoarse voice, "Mother, don't blame Second Uncle, he's actually quite good. Fourth Sister has been protecting me, and several times when there was a conflict with the main house, it was Second Uncle who appeared in time to protect us."

Mo Lan used a handkerchief to dry her daughter's tears, "Don't naively think that everyone is good. Perhaps they are good, but only to an extent."

Xie Jiujiu smiled without answering.

She simply let her mother wipe her face.

Xie Shen handed his daughter a storage ring.

"Daughter, this is for you."

"What?" Xie Jiujiu was surprised, "Dad, where did this storage ring come from? These things are so expensive, and even with spirit stones, you can't always buy them."

"Your grandfather gave it. Inside, there are some things he said should be enough for our entire family to break through to Foundation Establishment." Xie Shen had been beaten up, but afterward, he shamelessly demanded this compensation.

Since the loss of the Soul Cleansing Pill had become a fact, he could only demand additional compensation for his daughter.
