Ning Zhishui looked calm, but he was actually very nervous.
[Will they tie me up like a monster after I finish speaking?]
[Or maybe you suspect I've been possessed and want to search my soul?]
[No... I wouldn't go that far with a soul search. At least they'd observe me for a bit longer and make sure it wasn't me before resorting to such extreme methods.]
"I'll be joining the sect soon, so I can't stay by their side every day to remind them. I'll have to tell them sooner or later."
[No matter what, let’s give it a try.]
"Daddy, you originally possessed immortal bones but were unaware of it. You wasted years until they were dug out and taken away by evil men. Without them, your cultivation level plummeted, and you eventually became an evil cultivator and died at Tianji Cliff."
"Mother, after Daddy's accident, you were heartbroken. Qian Rong, who had always been on good terms with our family, took advantage of the situation and tried to bully and humiliate you. Fortunately, you were saved by the Poison Taoist who happened to be passing by. After that, you began to practice poison and became the Poison Fairy. In the end, you died from the poison."
"Aunt, Lin Huaiyuan and Shen Bingqing have been having an affair for a long time. They had been plotting something behind your back, wanting to steal your grandfather's bracelet, and they actually succeeded. After being provoked, your personality changed drastically, and you became a seductive woman who wandered among various male cultivators. In the end, you were besieged and killed. But that bitch became the head and wife of the Qingyuan Sect, living in harmony and being envied by everyone. Everyone praised them as a fairy couple."
"Second brother, your master, Zhao Zhengqi, has a hidden injury. While everything may appear normal, he actually only has fifty years left to live. You were carefully chosen as his disciple because you have excellent aptitude and no family background, allowing him to manipulate you at will. Even your spiritual roots are identical to his own. Therefore, he wants to use you as his target for possession. The better he treats you now, the more he wants to lower your guard, so that you will trust him completely and it will be easier for him to take action. In the end, he did succeed, and you lost your mind and became his murderous puppet."
"Besides that, there's also Big Brother. Big Brother's heart goes out to Bai Lianxin, but during this training, he was poisoned by scorpion venom. Because the poisoning came suddenly, he missed the best time to heal, so his brain was damaged and he's no longer as sharp as before. Bai Lianxin threw herself into the arms of another man, while constantly exploiting Big Brother for her own gain. Big Brother was ultimately provoked into becoming a great evil, and his end was not good."
Ning Zhishui glanced at them one by one and told them their respective endings.
She spoke briefly, but the ups and downs in it made the Ning family tremble with fear.
They had heard Ning Zhishui talk about some details before, but none of them were as complete as they are now. The tension and excitement brought by today were incomparable to the details that had to be pieced together before.
Most importantly, they learned what happened to their family members other than themselves!
"Everything I said is true. I witnessed your ending personally." Ning Zhishui said it all at once, and his heart calmed down.
Everyone in the Ning family fell into silence.
Their hearts were beating faster and their faces were unhappy. This was not directed at Ning Zhishui, but at what had happened to their Ning family.
At this moment, the Ning family had a common doubt in their hearts -
Did the Ning family poke a hole in the sky in their past life? Otherwise, why would the whole family have such a bad ending?
Yes, a family...
"What about you?" Ning Chengfeng was the first to ask, "What was your ending?"
Although he asked this, Ning Zhishui didn't think he believed what he said.
"I... I'm lucky. I discovered the secret of my spiritual roots and unexpectedly obtained the most suitable heavenly-level technique. Therefore, my cultivation will be much smoother than others."
Ning Zhishui lowered his eyes and said calmly, "I lived until the next time the Heavenly Stairway opened. I thought I could ascend smoothly, but I didn't expect that the immortal energy on the ladder would be fatal to cultivators. I didn't get the warning beforehand and had no protection, so I died there. When I woke up again, I was back to the present."
"The secret of spiritual roots?" Ren Muqing asked doubtfully, "What secret? Don't you have five spiritual roots?"
The others were also puzzled.
Ning Zhishui is one of the five spiritual roots. This was measured a long time ago and there is no way it can be wrong.
And her cultivation speed is really nothing special.
"It's true that I have five spiritual roots, but they are the natural five spiritual roots. The five elements are completely balanced and consistent." Ning Zhishui said.
Ning Chengfeng took a breath.
The five spiritual roots of heaven!
Isn’t this the legendary chosen spiritual root!
My little sister actually has the five spiritual roots of Heavenly Movement...
No wonder!
If that's the case, it would make sense.
"So you can make pills? Who taught you?" Ren Muqing asked.
Ning Zhishui smiled and said, "Not only can I refine pills, I can also refine weapons, set formations, and cook well... Because I don't have the money to buy better pills, nor can I afford to hire a weapon refiner to refine magical weapons for me, but I can't do without them either. If I want to get them, I have to do it myself, which can save a lot of money. And since I know more ingredients and spiritual herbs, it will be much more convenient for me to go out and won't be easily poisoned or injured."
If possible, no one would want to waste time learning those unconventional methods. It would be much better to just focus on cultivation.
But others can enjoy the resources provided by their family or sect, and can practice in seclusion without distraction, and have whatever they want.
She would rather know water but have nothing.
In order to improve their cultivation, monks must not only go into seclusion but also go through training to improve their state of mind.
Others can bring guards and clan elders with them for protection. Even if they don’t, they will have a lot of treasures on them, enough to save their lives.
She didn't.
If you want to gain experience, you must have money to buy elixirs, magic tools and talismans to prepare for emergencies, and all of these require money.
So she was forced to learn one skill after another.
No elixir? Then read elixir books like crazy, learn the recipes, identify the medicinal materials, and make your own elixir.
If you don’t have a magic weapon, then learn about the materials, study them more, and refine the weapon yourself.
When she knew everything, she gradually became wealthy and her life began to get better and better.
Ning Zhishui was smiling at this moment, because she thought of the years when she was most painful but also when she made the most progress. She was grateful and comforted by herself at that time.
But when the Ning family saw this, they felt heartbroken.
If what she said was true, then every member of the Ning family was so useless that they all died because of one thing or another, leaving her alone.
How much suffering did she endure, how many injuries did she suffer, and how much sweat did she shed before she finally stepped onto that ladder to heaven?
But just as he was about to ascend, the heavens played a joke on him...
So her rebirth is heaven's compensation to the Ning family?
Ning Zhishui looked at his family.
They all had dull eyes and slow expressions, and they looked at her with very complicated expressions.
