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 star...
Fang Ruotang was overwhelmed by the news and quickly said something.
"Go and contact Elder Lu."
After saying that, he hung up the call, afraid that Jin Wuyou might have something else to say.
Fang Ruotang patted her chest, looking as if she was still shaken.
"How terrifying. Luckily, I don't have to manage these trivial matters. No, I need to find some more Chaos Spiritual Root Fruits and refine them into pills to cleanse Wuyou's spiritual roots. Her spiritual roots are too poor, making it too difficult for her to improve her cultivation level. I need to ensure that she can live a long and healthy life."
She couldn't lose such a good helper.
For the first time, Gu Yanjin and his group of six did not rush to say that they could do what Jin Wuyou could do.
After all, they have a lot to say about how busy it is to manage the affairs of a sect, and no one wants to be trapped by these trivial matters in the future.
If that's the case, given Fang Ruotang's expansion speed, it would be rare for someone to be able to spare two days a month to be by Fang Ruotang's side.
Instead of leaving the deep mountains and forests, they went even further in.
Because the small mirror discovered that there was a skin-regenerating flower that Ye Wuxia needed in this deep mountain forest.
"Huh, such a large patch of Regenerating Flowers, and not a single demonic beast is guarding it nearby?" Fang Ruotang was a little surprised.
The little mirror, however, answered as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.
[Because the monsters in this forest are mostly on the battlefield, fighting to the death with Qi Yu, they don't care about these things.]
Whether human or demon, the first reaction to invaders is to drive them away, not to stand still and wait.
So you mean the herbs around here aren't being guarded by any monsters anymore?
[That's basically true.]
【What are we waiting for! Let's get to work!】
Fang Ruotang excitedly directed Gu Yanjin and the other six people to split up and move in different directions, picking up all the useful flowers and plants in the deep forest as quickly as possible.
"With these, our Hundred Herbs Garden is established, isn't it?" Fang Ruotang said happily, completely ignoring the reactions of the other six people. She put away the Regenerating Flower in front of her and walked towards the next spot.
Picking is that simple.
On this day, Fang Ruotang and her group plucked away everything useful from the flowers and plants in the deep mountains and forests.
Those that remained were either not yet fully grown or too ordinary; she didn't keep a single rare plant like the Regenerating Flower.
After leaving the deep mountains and forests, Gu Yanjin and the other six handed over all the flowers and herbs they had picked to Fang Ruotang. Fang Ruotang was very happy to see her storage bag full of harvest.
She also understood why Gu Yanjin and the others didn't even have a decent box when they prepared the pills for her.
When there's too much stuff, it seems to lose its value.
"Let's go find the Buddhist nun Jingtan."
Although they only found the Regenerating Flower in this deep mountain forest, and did not find the Rejuvenating Grass and Dragon's Breath Grass they needed, these two items were not difficult to find, and the other herbs were even easier to obtain.
The Ice Heart Lotus in the hands of the Buddhist monk Jingtan is rare, so Fang Ruotang decided to meet with Jingtan to see if they could make a deal.
"There's no rush. You haven't rested all day. Why don't we find a place to get some sleep before we set off?"
Ye Wuxia was touched that Fang Ruotang cared so much about him, but she also felt sorry for her running around like this.
"I'm not tired! Or are you tired?"
Although she didn't know what realm she was at, defeating a Golden Core cultivator was as easy as cutting vegetables for her; she was at least a little stronger than a Golden Core cultivator.
Not sleeping for a day or two will not have any effect whatsoever.
Ye Wuxia stared intently at Fang Ruotang. Far from being tired, Fang Ruotang's face was filled with excitement, like a warrior about to go to war and expand her territory.
"I'm not tired either."
"If you're not tired, let's go. If you're really tired, you can take a nap on the spirit boat."
Fang Ruotang made the decision, boarded the spirit boat, and followed the guidance of the little mirror to find the Buddhist disciple Jingtan.
Jingtan is a Buddhist disciple of Wuding Temple, but he is not at Wuding Temple at this time. Instead, he is at... Huanfa Sect.
The Illusionary Magic Sect is based on magic, and in terms of magic alone, it is the strongest in the Cloud Deep Continent.
"If I had known we were going to the Illusionary Sect, I should have asked Lu Ling to come along. She always wanted to have a friendly exchange with the disciples of the Illusionary Sect."
While Fang Ruotang was muttering to herself, she contacted Lu Ling.
"Ah, Master is on his way to the Illusionary Law Sect?" Lu Ling looked at her surroundings and said regretfully, "I'm afraid I won't be able to go. My fellow disciples and I are on a mission."
She accepted the mission; as the team leader and the most skilled member of the team, it was impossible for her to abandon the mission and run away irresponsibly.
"Okay! I'll go again next time I have the chance."
"Alright, thank you for your concern, Master. I have something to attend to here, so I won't say any more. We can discuss it in detail when I return to the sect."
The deer spirit is killing monsters right now!
It's already rare that they can find the time to respond to the message.
Before Fang Ruotang could even say "Be careful," there was silence on the other end.
Upon arriving at the Illusionary Dharma Sect, Fang Ruotang introduced herself and explained her purpose.
The disciples guarding the gate looked at Fang Ruotang and her group with wary expressions.
"What is your relationship with Buddhist nun Jingtan?"
"Um?"
Fang Ruotang looked puzzled. If she wasn't mistaken, what was the reason behind the gatekeeper's expression of looking at a harlot?
If she remembered correctly, Xiao Jingzi once said that Jingtan was a true Buddhist, the kind who was devoted to Buddhism.
Why do this person's eyes look so yellow?
"What kind of look is that? Look again, and believe me, I'll gouge your eyes out." Huo Zhige stepped forward and drew his sword.
The sword energy startled the gatekeeper, who took several steps back, his face changing drastically.
Fang Ruotang's face also darkened, and she lost her previous good temper, coldly saying, "What relationship I have with Buddhist Master Jingtan has nothing to do with your Illusionary Dharma Sect, right? You can just announce my visit to Buddhist Master Jingtan; there's no need to ask any other questions."
"How can it not be related? Jing Tan Buddhist Master is about to become a Daoist couple with our sect's junior sister. Your sudden visit might be related to Jing Tan Buddhist Master's extramarital affairs!"
"Clam?"
Fang Ruotang was dumbfounded.
"Buddhist disciple? Taking a wife?"
Such a niche term.
“After Jingtan Buddhist disciple and our sect’s junior sister become Daoist partners, they will naturally return to secular life, so you don’t need to worry about that.”
Fang Ruotang lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "You wouldn't have imprisoned the Buddhist disciple Jingtan and forced him to become a Daoist couple with your sect's junior sister, would you?"
"H-How could this be?"
The gatekeeper's eyes darted around for a moment, but he didn't miss Fang Ruotang's gaze.
Fang Ruotang laughed in exasperation.
She said that just a moment ago, the little mirror had confirmed the character of the Buddhist disciple Jingtan, but how could it have changed in the next moment?
It's not that Buddhist disciples can't enter the mortal world because of romantic entanglements, but this is too fast, and if there were any signs earlier, Little Mirror wouldn't have been unaware of it.
She didn't know whether to be angry or amused.
Originally, she had shamelessly come to ask Bing Xinlian for help, but now, the Buddhist monk Jingtan is going to give her this as a thank-you gift.
