Xia Qianhe sat in the new house, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

She never imagined she would get married like this.

A single celestial spirit is extremely rare, and her talent is exceptional. She always thought that she would go further and further on the path of seeking the Dao, and that in the future, after achieving success in her cultivation, she would find a suitable Daoist partner, and together they would ascend to immortality.

Unexpectedly, she got married at only twenty years old.

She lost her virginity.

I don't know if it will affect my future spiritual practice.

However, she knew very well that this matter was not Ning Xize's fault.

Both she and Ning Xi were victims.

I just don't know who's behind this.

A blurry figure suddenly flashed through her mind.

Xia Qianhe shook her head again. "That's probably impossible."

It can't be hers.

Just as she was thinking, a group of women suddenly rushed into the bridal chamber.

There were old and young people, and the one in the lead was Ning Zixun.

"This is my niece-in-law. Isn't she dashing and beautiful?"

"That's true."

The group of women dared not disagree and all nodded with smiles. It was well known that Ning Zixun was famously protective of her own.

This isn't to be entirely honest; the girl is indeed beautiful.

“My daughter Qianhe is not only capable, but also very intelligent. She manages our household affairs now, and she has mastered all the account books in no time.”

"Oh my, this is really amazing." A lady dressed in a pale yellow brocade robe exclaimed. "Then your family is truly blessed." This lady, named Qingying, was a long-time friend of the Ning family. She had often played with the Ning family in the past and naturally knew about their affairs. She immediately nodded in satisfaction, took off a top-quality mutton-fat jade bracelet from her wrist, and put it on Xia Qianhe's wrist.

Xia Qianhe was already at the Foundation Establishment stage, so he could naturally sense that this jade bracelet was no ordinary item.

As soon as I put it on my wrist, I could feel the spiritual energy contained within the jade bracelet.

"This—is too precious." Xia Qianhe hesitated, as if she wanted to take off the jade bracelet.

But Qingying held him down.

"One should not refuse a gift from an elder."

"Qianhe, don't be so polite. This woman has many good qualities. You should thank your Aunt Qingying."

Hearing Ning Zixun speak up, Xia Qianhe smiled at Qingying and said, "Thank you, Aunt Qingying."

"Oh my, what a well-behaved and adorable child. I say, you guys, seeing such a pretty little girl, shouldn't you give her a little something as a gift?"

"I knew none of us would come here for anything good." A woman rolled her eyes in annoyance, but her smile deepened as she looked at Xia Qianhe.

"Good girl, marry into the Ning family and live a good life."

Each of the women said a few words, and then they took out gifts and placed them in Xia Qianhe's hands one by one.

Xia Qianxue, who was mixed in with the crowd, looked rather unpleasant.

Why is this happening?

In her past life, Ning Zixun clearly disliked her and said many hurtful things. On her wedding day, she sat alone in the bridal chamber, with no one visiting her or giving her any gifts.

Why did everything change when Xia Qianhe was replaced?

Everyone was fawning over her, and seeing the pile of gifts in her hands, Xia Qianxue felt a surge of anger burning within her. Jealousy was tearing at her, making her want to rush over, snatch all the gifts away, and slap her hard across the face.

On what grounds?

Is it because she is the legitimate daughter?

Xia Qianxue's burning gaze almost pierced through Xia Qianhe, and the churning hatred within it made Xia Qianhe feel something. She suddenly raised her head and met Xia Qianxue's eyes, which were filled with hatred.

Not only was Xia Qianhe stunned, but Xia Qianxue was also taken aback.

He quickly composed himself.

Oh no, it seems like we were just seen.

She tried to shrink herself down, hiding herself behind the ladies. She hoped they hadn't seen her.

Xia Qianhe had already seen it.

I had sensed it before, and now I'm even more certain.

The person who framed her must be Xia Qianxue.

But why?

The two sisters didn't have a particularly good relationship, but it wasn't bad either.

They usually maintain a very casual relationship.

If she found anything good, she would share some with Xia Qianxue. Although she was a half-sister, she was usually well-behaved and sensible, so Xia Qianxue didn't have a bad impression of her.

But I never expected that she would harbor such deep hatred for her.

Xia Qianhe was lost in thought, but her expression remained unchanged, still bearing a faint smile with a touch of a new bride's shyness.

Xia Qianxue dared not stay in the room any longer, and took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to sneak out of the room.

Looking at this magnificent mansion, Xia Qianxue felt an even stronger pang of bitterness in her heart.

This place had brought her a lot of humiliation, because Ning Xi was a useless spiritual root, and her husband was also a useless spiritual root. In their entire lives, they were unable to draw qi into their bodies.

However, she was also bestowed with considerable honor and privileges here.

She was fully aware of the Ning family's wealth.

Moreover, there was later a Ning Hongze who attained enlightenment.

Even those who looked down on Ning Xize would give him some face because of Ning Hongze.

She never expected that Xia Qianhe would actually be willing to marry Ning Xize.

However, this life is probably far inferior to her previous one.

Moreover, Ning Hongze never went to Kunlun Mountain. It seems that in this life, Ning Hongze will not be able to attain immortality like she did in her previous life.

Ning Hong, who was being nagged by Xia Qianxue, was sitting in her room calling out to the system.

My silly younger brother got married.

He still married the original female lead who was killed by the female supporting character.

At least my silly younger brother should have the ability to match the female lead.

"0321, can Ning Xize's useless spiritual root be corrected? If I give him another elixir, will it be effective?"

"The host can consider it himself."

"Two hundred points seems a bit expensive. Can't you make it cheaper, or give me a discount?"

system:"·······"

What to do when an unscrupulous host always wants him to give them a discount?

"If one can cultivate as long as they have spiritual roots, then why can't those with five spiritual roots cultivate?" Such people with five spiritual roots are very rare. Generally speaking, people don't have spiritual roots at all, rather than five spiritual roots.

"It's not that you can't cultivate, it's just too slow. The reason why a single spiritual root allows for faster cultivation is because it only needs to absorb a portion of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. As for you, you have both wood and fire spiritual roots, so you need twice the amount of spiritual energy, while a five-elemental root needs—"

“Five times.” Ning Hongze blinked. “The reason Xi Ze can’t draw Qi into his body is probably because he lacks spiritual energy. And there’s no Five Elements cultivation method suitable for him.”

So now, his most important task is to find a Five Elements cultivation technique for him.

The rest are secondary.

"0321, so if the five spiritual roots are perfected, wouldn't that be the most powerful?"
