Chapter 7: The Engagement is Broken Waiting for the White-robed Monk to Carry Zhong Xinyue Away...

After the white-robed monk took Zhong Xinyue away, Xu Hui took out two defensive talismans, and sure enough, they were all ineffective. She couldn't help but feel lucky that she didn't get ahead of herself.

After the first sword strike, he noticed something was wrong with the defensive talisman and immediately attached one to himself, thus saving his life from the second sword strike.

The sword energy had such a wide range that it could reach such a long distance. No wonder the heroine with all the golden fingers was beaten without any ability to fight back.

According to the book, because of the life-saving grace, the Wei family has given the Zhong family many good things in the past ten years. The head of the Zhong family loves this daughter very much and leaves the best for her, almost arming her to the teeth.

The sword technique is the highest-level combat power that the heroine obtained in the early stage. If the female supporting role had not been reborn and seized the initiative, she really would not be able to deal with the heroine.

In comparison, Xu Hui, who only had a defensive talisman left, looked particularly shabby.

After a moment of silence, he came out of the cave, walked around, found Xu Lan, and took the storage bag from her.

This belonged to the original owner's father, so she naturally recognized it. When she opened it, she found more than a thousand spirit stones, four or five spirit weapons, and various bottles and jars filled with elixirs and medicinal plants, and of course the token was among them.

Finally getting it back, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the corpses around her, resignedly took out the hoe, dug a hole and buried them one by one.

However, as a reward, she happily accepted their storage bags.

As a good student of the new century, she should not be so indifferent to life. She had thought about whether she should remind the heroine Zhong Xinyue to let these people escape this disaster.

But not long after he went out, he met a kind-hearted female cultivator who was robbed for helping someone and ended up in a miserable state. All his kindness disappeared in an instant.

This incident was engraved in her heart, causing her to lose sleep all night, and she finally made the next decision: If you don’t have the ability, don’t be too kind and protect yourself!

Anyway, she is just a cannon fodder, so how can heaven give her the mission of saving the world?

That was all the business of the protagonist's son of luck, and it was already difficult for her to avoid being implicated.

After all, Xu Hui was filled with resentment deep down about her family being sacrificed as cannon fodder. This world full of protagonists, supporting characters and cannon fodder didn't feel real at all, and she treated it like a game.

If that’s the case, they’re all NPCs, so why bother about them, she thought indifferently.

Digging a hole and burying them was just a way for me to take the storage bag away and feel at ease.

After doing all this, she stood there in a daze for a moment, then slowly left in the sunset.

When I arrived in the town, I finally decided to spend money to find an inn. With the extra income, there was no need to suffer so much. It was enough to stay in the suburbs all the time.

The service at the inn is excellent. Ten low-grade spirit stones a night includes dinner, which consists of three dishes, a soup, and fruit. All the dishes have a faint spiritual energy and taste excellent.

After eating and drinking, she finally had time to check the task panel and found that the main task one had been completed.

[Reward points +10, a bottle of top-grade Qi-boosting pill, a bottle of top-grade rejuvenation pill]

I spent 10 points to buy earplugs to protect against mental attacks, and now I owe 8 points. With this, I only have 2 points left.

Qi-boosting pills replenish the body's spiritual energy. Low-grade pills can fully replenish the energy in the early stages of Qi training and halfway to the late stages. Medium-grade pills are effective for the Foundation Establishment stage and can also be used in the Qi Refining stage, though they're somewhat wasteful. High-grade pills are effective for the Golden Core stage.

As for the best quality pills, Xu Hui did not find any such thing as best quality pills in the collection of elixirs and medicinal plants she bought casually.

The system introduction only has one sentence: replenish spiritual energy regardless of realm, and generate new spiritual energy continuously within a certain period of time.

This reward is quite amazing!

If even a cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Stage can use it and instantly replenish spiritual power, it will definitely be a priceless treasure.

Apart from anything else, what cultivators fear most when undergoing tribulation is not being struck by lightning or going through the tribulation of the inner demon, but that when being struck, their spiritual power will be exhausted and they will be unable to resist.

If we can generate endless spiritual energy, who would be afraid of thunder?

Looking at the effects of the top-grade rejuvenation pill, it is even more incredible. It ignores levels and repairs the body instantly. It's... outrageous!

This is equivalent to coming back to life!

Who would have thought that the Yellow Grade Qi-replenishing Pills and Rejuvenating Pills, which are only suitable for Jindan-stage cultivators and below, and are used to replenish spiritual power and heal injuries, would have such terrifying effects after reaching the highest grade?

Is this an interpretation that the foundation is the basis?

No wonder the so-called top-grade elixir has never appeared in the world of cultivation. If it did, it would clearly break the balance.

With trembling hands, Xu Hui took out two bottles of pills, each containing three pills. The Qi-replenishing pill was milky white, and the rejuvenation pill was blood red. They were round, smooth, and natural. Most importantly, the patterns on them were gorgeous and complicated. After looking at them for a long time, one actually had a vague sense of enlightenment.

This thing even has a hint of the laws of nature in it. The effect is too incredible. Is she, a cannon fodder, worthy of enjoying it?

Could it be that after being the cannon fodder who takes on the responsibility of saving the world from disaster, she is now honored with the task of being the cannon fodder who delivers resources to the hero and heroine?

It's no wonder Xu Hui thought this way. The repeated incidents had left a shadow on her. She decisively put the pill at the bottom of the storage compartment, not with other pills, to avoid taking the wrong one and causing huge trouble.

After completing the first task, the second task was also refreshed.

【Complete the assessment and join the family.】

This was also her goal. After looking at it, she put it aside and took out the storage bags to take a look.

These disciples who went to take the test were basically the younger generations that their families were quite optimistic about, so they were given sufficient resources.

Xu Hui counted them and found that there were more than 10,000 spirit stones in total, and 28 spiritual weapons and magic weapons were left. Three of them could only be used by those in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and two of them could defend against an attack from those in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

There were also pills, talismans, and formations, especially pills, which were the most numerous, with a total of sixty or seventy bottles. Roughly speaking, these were worth more than thirty thousand spirit stones, which was simply a sudden wealth!

It's no wonder she saw many robbers along the way. This was indeed the fastest way to make money.

However, Xu Hui knew that except for spirit stones and elixirs, the rest of these things could not be used, let alone exchanged for money.

Those who follow the heroine Zhong Xinyue are all family members. If she is discovered by them, she will be in trouble. Those families will not be reasonable. If she dares to take it, they will let her die.

In addition, among these people’s tokens, in addition to those issued by the Mu family, there are also those issued by the Lei family and the Wei family.

The Lei family has a base nearby, which is a medium-sized city, so it is not surprising that they sent people to guard it. However, the Wei family's territory is thousands of miles away, not in this direction, so why is there a Wei family token?

She remembered that this storage bag was taken from a female cultivator who was about fourteen or fifteen years old. Judging from her dress, she seemed to be a casual cultivator.

After looking through her things, I found out that she was indeed a casual cultivator, but not a complete casual cultivator.

Her father was a casual cultivator, and her mother was once a member of the Wang family in Muxin City. As a disciple of the Wei family, she received a token.

But she did not participate in the recruitment, eloped with someone and gave birth to a daughter.

The couple died a few years ago, leaving behind a daughter. Before they died, they told her to take the token to the Wei family and become a menial disciple, which was better than being a casual cultivator outside and being bullied.

This token has hardly changed in hundreds of years, so even if it was issued more than ten years ago, it is still useful now.

After thinking about it, Xu Hui took out the Wei family token and put it together with the original owner's. He put the other things in order and threw them all into the storage compartment. He would not take them out in the short term.

Now she has more than 10,000 spirit stones, which is at least a guarantee. If she really can't enter the aristocratic family, she can buy a low-level mental method to practice, and then find a way to exchange it after her cultivation level improves.

After half a month, she finally had her first pot of gold. Although it was not glorious, her long-tension heart finally relaxed a little.

After a good night's sleep, he continued his journey the next day. After three days, he finally arrived at the border between the mortal world and the world of cultivation.

Taking out the token and sticking it on the boundary wall, Xu Hui's heart was pounding. The door to a new world was about to open. She had no idea what the future would hold, but at this moment, she was excited.

Who doesn't want to become an immortal? She did, anyway. Now, the path to immortality was open to her. The future held endless possibilities. Even if she was a small-time cannon fodder, she would still embark on a life of ups and downs.

The next second, a flash of light appeared in the token, enveloping her and disappearing on the spot.

Xu Hui, who thought she was a small person, didn't know that while she was full of excitement, the changes she brought about had already affected the world.

Cultivation World, Wangyun Wonderland

As the immortal residence of the Wei family, one of the ten great families, the entire Wangyun Mountain is towering into the clouds, with colorful cloud belts on it, more than ten thousand feet above the ground. From afar, the immortal pavilions and terraces, exquisite buildings, misty immortal clouds, auspicious light shining through the sky, are extremely gorgeous.

The courtyard built along the mountain mist has white walls and black tiles, beautiful trees and flowers, rare and exotic animals, it is a peaceful and fairyland.

In a courtyard, the head of the Wei family was entertaining a guest. The white-robed monk that Xu Hui had seen before was among them. He was the heroine's fiancé, Wei Mubai, the second son of the Wei family.

The head of the Wei family, Wei Yanshu, is a cultivator in the Spirit Severing stage. He is only one major realm away from transcending the tribulation and flying into the sky. In addition, as the head of one of the ten major families, he should practice in seclusion and leave family affairs to his eldest son Wei Muheng.

This has been the case for nearly a hundred years, but today, the head of the family, the young master and the second young master are all here, which makes it particularly special, because the guests' intentions are not simple and he needs to make the decision personally.

Although Zhongli, the head of the Zhong family, is only in the late stage of foundation building and cannot compare with anyone present, he is still a guest of honor in the Wei family.

Wei Yanshu's face was calm, and he looked at the Zhong family head with a scrutinizing look, "Are you sure you want to give up the engagement and take the Qianlu Pill?"

He did not exude much pressure, but facing a cultivator in the Spirit Severing Stage, how many people would dare not be in awe?

What's more, what the head of the Zhong family asked for was the Qianlu Pill that the second son of the Wei family had painstakingly refined for his sister to repair her inner spiritual veins. Therefore, he was trembling with fear and sweating all over, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.

Previously, Madam Wei took the Blood Spirit Grass and forced a breakthrough in her cultivation, barely saving the lives of mother and daughter, but they were not safe.

After giving birth to Miss Wei San, Madam Wei went into seclusion and has not yet fully recovered.

Miss Wei San's situation is even worse. She has been weak since childhood, and her spiritual palace and spiritual veins are damaged, making her unable to practice.

For the sake of his sister, Wei Mubai, the second son of the Wei family, devoted himself to cultivating himself to become a fifth-rank alchemist. After achieving the Golden Elixir, he traveled around the country. Finally, with the full cooperation of the Wei family, he collected enough medicinal materials and refined a Thousand Dew Pill.

This elixir can completely solve Miss Wei San's physical problems and allow her to embark on the path of cultivation.

In other words, this is Miss Wei San's path to immortality, and its importance is self-evident.

But Patriarch Zhong actually dared to ask for such an important thing, and the three people in the hall did not give him a good look.

The story begins with the spiritual power that Wei Mubai injected into Xu Hui's body.

Lei Hong ate the Bu Tian Zhi and changed his fate, but that heavenly fruit was not so easy to digest. If he was not careful, he would overdo it and explode to death. He needed someone with the same spiritual roots to use spiritual power to comfort and guide him.

Wei Mubai sent the person back to the Lei family, and after making sure that everything was fine, he made a hand gesture and went to look for Xu Hui.

For an alchemist, a grower who can perfectly collect herbs is something he would never dare to dream of. Now that he has met one, he plans to bring him directly back to the Wei family.

Anyway, Xu Hui hasn't even reached the Qi training level yet, so she has no family to be loyal to. Whoever snatches it away will make a profit.

But as soon as he appeared, he saw Zhong Xinyue was seriously injured and in danger.

The Zhong family saved his mother and sister's lives. The head of the Zhong family had previously hinted that he hoped to arrange a marriage. The head of the Wei family did not refuse. After asking the two brothers about their wishes, he planned to arrange a marriage between him and Zhong Xinyue after the matter of Miss Wei San was over.

He naturally recognized Zhong Xinyue. She was in critical condition. Although her external injuries were cured by elixirs, the sword energy remained in her spiritual palace, rushing around and almost shattering it.

Without the spiritual palace, he could not practice, so he had to bring the person back immediately and hand him over to the family medical elder to remove the sword energy.

But it was too late, the spiritual palace was shattered.

The head of the Zhong family, who was notified and came hurriedly, asked for Qianludan after seeing his daughter.

If he could cure Miss Wei San's illness, he could naturally cure Zhong Xinyue's injury as well.

However, this was Miss Wei San's wish, and the two brothers of the Wei family's faces changed drastically after hearing it.

The Wei family had put in so much effort, and Wei Mubai had gone through so many dangers, all for the sake of his sister who was suffering from illness to get better. But the head of the Zhong family actually wanted to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth, so he was about to refuse immediately!

But the head of the Zhong family insisted on doing it because he felt that the favor of saving his life was owed to him.

Although Zhong Xinyue's life was saved by Wei Mubai this time, the Blood Spirit Grass saved the lives of Madam Wei and her daughter back then. The life-saving grace must be repaid.

The Wei family values ​​gratitude and loyalty, so they agreed to the Zhong family head's marriage proposal and even planned to offer the family's most precious treasure, the Lingtian Space, as a betrothal gift.

But now that Zhong Xinyue was in trouble, the head of the Zhong family actually asked for Qianxia Pill. The two brothers thought of their poor sister and naturally refused.

Wei Mubai suggested, "I will find a way to collect Fire Pomegranate Fruits and refine Fire Pomegranate Pills. As long as she is nurtured for ten years, Miss Zhong will be well."

The Fire Pomegranate Pill has a similar effect, but its effect is far inferior to the Thousand Clouds Pill. It needs to be taken for a full ten years, during which it is nourished with various spiritual fruits and vegetables, and it can also heal Zhong Xinyue's injuries.

However, the Fire Pomegranate Pill is useless for Miss Wei San, who has a congenital blockage in her internal spiritual meridians, otherwise they would have prepared it for their sister long ago.

Wei Muheng also said, "All spiritual fruits and vegetables are provided by the Wei family, so Patriarch Zhong doesn't have to worry."

This is the promise that Zhong Xinyue will be cured.

But the head of the Zhong family was unwilling to do so. Ten years later, Zhong Xinyue would have been over 25 years old and had missed the best age for building a foundation. She would only slowly become mediocre in the future.

Thinking about his daughter's destiny, which was full of good fortune, and that the Zhong family would also prosper, he refused to let his daughter miss the opportunity and strongly requested to meet the head of the Wei family.

Because he knew that this matter could only be decided by the head of the Wei family, the biological father, on behalf of his daughter.

Sure enough, after hearing this, the head of the Wei family just frowned but did not refuse.

However, after taking away Miss Wei San's elixir, the favor of saving her life was considered over. The Wei family and the Zhong family no longer had any relationship, and the engagement was naturally over!

It's a pity for Patriarch Zhong. The Wei family is a family of alchemy, and they also have Wei Mubai, a rare alchemy genius that only appears once in a thousand years. If they marry, his daughter will never lack resources for anything. Now he can only give up.

"Yes," he said with a slight hesitation, still gritting his teeth.

The Wei family head's eyes turned cold, and he disappeared after uttering two words, "Give it to him!"
