Chapter 398 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS. The Easily Deceived Cultivator 1

Nirvana Mountain, west of Immortal Peak.

The winding path, covered with withered branches and fallen leaves, leads all the way to the cliff.

Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, the sheer cliff face appears as if it had been cleaved by a sword, extremely steep.

Before them lay what appeared to be an abyss, with nothing visible except for eerie clouds and mist floating about.

Suddenly, a golden light flashed.

The cliffs in front of them disappeared, and an extremely elegant fairy cave slowly appeared in the clouds and mist.

The cave gate suddenly opened.

Jiang Zhiyi was pushed out from inside, and then a bundle was thrown out from behind her.

"Starting today, you will go down the mountain to train. If your cultivation does not improve, then do not come back."

The middle-aged man's deep voice was full of indifference, brooking no disobedience whatsoever.

"Father!" she called out anxiously.

However, it had no effect, and the door was quickly and ruthlessly closed.

"Father...Mother...Waaaaah..."

Jiang Zhiyi squatted there pitifully and pretended to cry for a long time, but the person who usually wouldn't let her shed a single tear didn't appear for a long time.

A while later.

Finally, she sighed helplessly and chose to accept the reality before her.

Jiang Zhiyi picked up the bundle on the ground and walked away without looking back.

His back view carried an inexplicable air of determination.

Where she couldn't see, the glittering golden cave was faintly visible.

Two figures were also secretly watching her, but they ultimately failed to call out to her.

This is something she has to go through; they shouldn't interfere.

...

On the mountain road.

Jiang Zhiyi walked slowly by herself, carrying a large bundle embroidered with a few small flowers on her back.

She had already checked the bag; it only contained pills to restore her spiritual power, and not even the most basic communication talisman.

It seems they're serious this time.

If she doesn't cultivate diligently, she might really not be able to go back.

However, this suited her just fine; it was time to get to work.

The male protagonist of this mission in the alternate dimension is Meng Qizhou, the personal disciple of the leader of the Lingyun Sect.

With the Immortal Cultivation Conference fast approaching, most of the disciples of the Lingyun Sect have descended the mountain to gain experience in the mortal realm, hoping to improve their cultivation and achieve a good ranking in the competition.

Meng Qizhou must have already descended the mountain by now.

In the original storyline, there are countless cultivation sects in the world, but only a few can be considered truly renowned. Among them, the Lingyun Sect is the number one among all the cultivation sects.

His power and prestige resounded throughout the land.

Everyone knows it.

As the only son of the Lingyun Sect leader, Meng Qizhou was expected to achieve great things from a young age, but unfortunately, he was of mediocre talent and found cultivation difficult.

Although he was already an unattainable figure in the eyes of the outer disciples, he was far inferior to the other disciples personally taught by the sect leader.

This has always been a source of anxiety for him.

The female supporting character was originally a lively and adorable little spirit from the mountains, and she had no connection with him whatsoever.

The two met by chance one day. The female supporting character saw that he was simple-minded and easy to fool, had no scheming, and came from a major cultivation sect. She thought he was just a foolish son of a rich man, so she deliberately tricked him, hoping to take the opportunity to extort benefits from him.

She claimed that she was a spirit transformed from a thousand-year-old ginseng fruit that had been accidentally injured, but unfortunately her spiritual power had declined and she was very weak.

If she recovers from her injuries, her spiritual power will be restored.

At that time, in order to express her gratitude to him, she was willing to offer a part of her true form for him to refine.

After absorbing her spiritual power, his cultivation level will definitely increase significantly.

So Meng Qizhou took her in, thinking to himself: once she recovered from her injuries, he would kill her and take all her spiritual power for himself.

Meng Qizhou spent a great deal of rare and precious treasures to help her recover from her injuries, sparing no expense whatsoever; in fact, it could be described as a huge expenditure.

However, the female supporting character not only failed to help him improve his cultivation, but also caused his spiritual power to surge violently, almost costing him his life.

He intended to kill her to vent his anger, but unfortunately she was rescued by other spirits and then disappeared without a trace.

The matter was thus dropped.

...

"Sigh..." Jiang Zhiyi looked at the endless mountain road in front of her and couldn't help but sigh.

She was tired from walking.

She does know how to use speed spells, but she needs to conserve her spiritual energy, so she can only walk slowly now.

After walking for most of the day, Jiang Zhiyi finally couldn't hold on any longer and went to rest by a clear stream.

Under the scorching sun, she found a shady spot under the boulder to wait.

As luck would have it, Meng Qizhou was not far away, walking this way.

He had just killed a demonic beast possessed by an evil spirit, and his body was covered in blood. Being somewhat of a germaphobe, he hurried over to wash himself with the stream water.

But before he could get close, he saw a little girl in a flowery dress hiding by the stream.

She does possess a certain spiritual quality; she must be a little spirit who has just taken human form.

So timid, hiding behind a rock.

He cast a spell and vaguely saw her true form, which appeared to be a large white radish.

She must be a radish spirit from the ground.

This radish spirit is extremely skilled at controlling water, so we can ask her to help wash away the dirt on his body.

He was just annoyed that he had to clean it up himself, since these kinds of things were usually done by the servant disciples in the sect, and he had never done them himself.

Meng Qizhou summoned a talisman.

Wild berries in the distance suddenly hit Jiang Zhiyi on the head, almost knocking off her gleaming spirit stone hairpin.

At the same time, the boy's clear voice also carried over.

"Come here! Stop looking around, it's you. You silly goose, come here!"
