Fang Ruotang, a frail and unremarkable girl from the Prime Minister’s household,
one day found herself pestered by a tiny, cutesy creature called the Mirror of Reversal—
and it started ...
Fang Ruotang was completely unaware that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley had a beautiful misunderstanding about her, and even if she knew, she wouldn't explain.
Anyway, this misunderstanding can be confirmed.
She doesn't understand now, but she has a small mirror, so she can read from the book and learn by herself. It's never as easy as just having something readily available.
After hearing about this, the couple from the Tianyan Array Sect discussed it and then came with generous gifts.
They have found a solution to the formation, but Xinghe's soul is becoming more and more solid in Fang Ruotang's hands.
If things continue like this, the son's soul may be restored.
Although they didn't know what kind of magic weapon Sect Master Fang possessed, they didn't pry since he wouldn't tell them. As long as Sect Master Fang didn't send their son back, they hoped their son could stay as long as possible.
But now that they've heard about Xunzhu, they can't sit still anymore.
Possession is not the right path, and the couple did not want to take that route.
As long as they take this path, none of the three of them will have a good ending, and it will be almost impossible for them to successfully transcend the tribulation when they ascend to immortality.
Heaven will not allow such a existence.
Reconstructing a physical body is not impossible, but various rare and precious materials are not easy to find. If they cannot be found, the newly constructed body will have poor aptitude, making cultivation difficult.
At present, ghost cultivation seems to be a viable path. The most important thing is that Fang Ruotang has top-level cultivation techniques, which makes it more than just feasible.
When Sect Leader Zhuang presented them with generous gifts, Fang Ruotang understood their intentions. After they explained the matter clearly and finished speaking, Fang Ruotang did not put on airs.
What she said was the same as what she said to the Valley Master.
"Alright, from now on, Zhuang Xinghe will be a disciple of both your Tianyan Array Sect and my Tianyi Sect. He will learn array formations from you and then return to the Tianyi Sect to teach his fellow disciples."
Fang Ruotang emphasized this point to both the Valley Master and the Sect Master.
After all, that was her purpose in bringing out the ghost cultivation technique; these two people were completely different from the disciples she was about to send.
The two sects would not hold back their knowledge from them, and although the two of them have not yet achieved much, they have already entered the sect and are no longer novices.
"Good, it is an honor for Xinghe. Sect Master Fang, please rest assured. Since your Tianyi Sect disciples have come, I will not hold back and will give them the same treatment as our inner disciples. In the future, Xinghe can also teach all the formations he has learned to your Tianyi Sect disciples."
“Alright! Then our two sects will become sworn brothers in the future. You are generous, and I will not be stingy either. Here you go and study them! If you can understand these ten ancient formations, your Heavenly Evolution Formation Sect will reach a higher level in the future.”
Fang Ruotang really liked the couple from the Tianyan Array Sect. They were so perceptive, always taking the initiative to please her.
Moreover, they all came to her with resources and practically begged her to come, making it impossible for her not to like them.
Sect Master Zhuang's pupils contracted in fright, a clear indication of his shock, completely lacking the composure expected of a cultivator.
"You just gave it to us like that?"
"Okay! Here you go."
"No conditions?"
"Yes! Didn't you promise to let the disciples of my Tianyi Sect go to your Tianyan Array Sect to study, and also promise that Zhuang Xinghe would teach the disciples of my Tianyi Sect the array techniques he learned in the future?"
"...Is that all?"
Sect Master Zhuang simply couldn't believe that such a good thing had fallen into the lap of their Heavenly Evolution Array Sect. Shouldn't they ask her for ten or eight spiritual veins?
"What, you don't want it? If you don't want it, give it back to me?" Fang Ruotang pretended to snatch it back.
Master Zhuang immediately hugged it tightly.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Ah! I have something to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. Xinghe will stay with you for now. We'll get him out after his soul has recovered a bit."
The sect leader and the Grand Elder vanished on the spot.
The two teleported back to the guest house where they were temporarily staying.
Sect Master Zhuang still looked like she was in a dream, and she looked at her Daoist partner with the same expression. She took out the formation again and looked at it.
They exclaimed, "Wow!"
"Choice is more important than effort, that's really true."
"Yes! Do you think we should invite Sect Master Fang to our sect as an honored elder? Otherwise, this good thing is too hot for us to handle."
The Grand Elder made the suggestion, and Sect Master Zhuang agreed.
Sect Master Zhuang then teleported back and recounted the matter.
Fang Ruotang readily agreed, after all, there was a chance to get resources, so why not take them?
Compared to the one-man rule of the Tianyan Array Sect, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley clearly did not have such great power. The matter of inviting the elders was only decided after discussing it with all the elders.
No one objected; everyone agreed that Fang Ruotang should come to Medicine King Valley as an honored elder. Fang Ruotang readily agreed and then generously took out a booklet and gave it to the Valley Master.
"Here, don't say I'm taking your resources for free. Here's the pill formula for you. It's an ancient medicine formula. The formulas inside are either lost or incomplete. Study it carefully. It contains all sorts of ingredients."
"Thank you, Elder Fang."
The Valley Master happily changed Fang Ruotang's name, feeling that it sounded more intimate.
Fang Ruotang didn't care about such a small matter.
He didn't forget to emphasize, "I gave you the pill formula. When these pills are auctioned off in the future, I will take a cut. I don't want much, just 30%."
"Furthermore, disciples of my Tianyi Sect are not allowed to refuse you when you come to your Medicine King Valley to request pills. Otherwise, I will no longer do you any favors."
"Understood, understood," the Valley Master readily agreed.
Both parties were satisfied with the outcome without any negotiation process.
Although Fang Ruotang provided the formulas, the fact that these pills were left over from ancient times means that rare herbs and medicines are not easy to obtain.
She takes 30%, which is already quite a lot.
In addition, Fang Ruotang did not lack these resources and wanted to make friends with Medicine King Valley, so she deliberately made some concessions.
Fang Ruotang happily settled into Medicine King Valley. Qin Bao'er brought over a large group of thirty or forty disciples from the Tianyi Sect.
Besides Qin Bao'er, there was also Wu Yang, and the two of them led the team.
"Master!"
"metropolitan."
Qin Bao'er and Wu Yang stepped forward. Fang Ruotang nodded, glanced at them, and saw that they were both unharmed.
Then he looked behind them, at his own brother and sister-in-law.
"Little Six!"
"Second Sister-in-law!"
Fang Ruotang happily hugged him.
"Are you fully recovered? How is your little niece?"
“Once she’s fully recovered, she can start practicing swordsmanship right away. Your little niece is growing up so well; she eats and sleeps well. When she’s a bit older, I’ll go and bring her here so the three of us can travel the world together. Right now, she’s too young, and her parents are worried about her and won’t let us take her out.”
"Yes, yes, we'll wait until she's a little older." Fang Ruotang happily agreed, then greeted her fifth brother and sister-in-law.
At this time, people from Medicine King Valley and Heavenly Evolution Array Sect also rushed over after hearing the news. Although he was not a disciple of their sect, he would study in their sect from now on.
Moreover, to show how much they valued Fang Ruotang, both sects arrived very quickly, almost a step behind her.
