Time flies, and before she knew it, Jiang Wanwan was completely immersed in the world of cultivation.
From then on, every day from dawn to dusk, she would go to the top of the towering peaks in the village without fail, sit cross-legged, calm her mind and concentrate, and begin her long and arduous journey of cultivation.
However, because he possesses a rare five-elemental-root body, his demand for spiritual energy in the world is exceptionally high. Even after a month of relentless and diligent cultivation, he has only managed to break through to the first level of Qi Refining.
As the sun rose that day, the first rays of golden sunlight fell upon Jiang Wanwan, who was meditating and cultivating on Niutou Mountain. It was as if she were draped in a dazzling robe of light, making her look like a goddess descended from the heavens, sacred and inviolable.
"Master, I've almost exhausted the spiritual energy of these mountains. Let's find another place!"
Old Xia had tidied up a small medicinal herb field in the space, which was lush and green. He was watering each plant with water mixed with spiritual spring water.
"You should think about how to tell your parents first. Last time you disappeared overnight, and when you came back you attended political classes for a whole week. Have you forgotten that?"
Jiang Wanwan is in a state of self-isolation.
Suddenly, the soul banner in the space began to shake violently, and the dark, malevolent aura almost overflowed from the banner.
"Judging from the reaction of these little devils, it must be the appearance of the White Bones in the sky." Old Xia casually made a hand seal, and the soul banner stopped shaking.
"Hmm... In that case, it's still necessary to go back and take a look. I wonder if those unscrupulous and inhumane guys have received the punishment and judgment they deserve!" Jiang Wanwan muttered to herself as she hurried home.
As soon as she got home, she eagerly pulled out her phone and began searching for information about the missing students from Qingshi Middle School. After some searching, she finally saw the final outcome of the case.
It turns out that because of the egregious nature of this incident, which attracted widespread attention and strong condemnation from all sectors of society, the county's leadership team paid a heavy price—almost all of them were suspended from their duties and investigated!
Those evil forces directly involved were severely punished by law: some were sentenced to life imprisonment, losing their freedom for eternity; others were sentenced to death for the severity of their crimes!
Moreover, the education department has taken strict measures against teachers who neglect their duties and fail to perform their duties, dismissing them all and announcing that they will never be hired again!
At the same time, the criminal gang suspected of being an organized crime syndicate and its members also failed to escape legal punishment—those who should be sentenced to death were sentenced to death, and those who should be imprisoned were imprisoned, which can be said to be very gratifying!
Not long after, the little ghosts inside the soul banner finally regained their senses, and the malevolent energy and resentment on their bodies slowly began to dissipate.
Jiang Wanwan began to learn to recite the Rebirth Mantra, sending them one by one to be reincarnated.
Jiang Wanwan watched as the last little devil left, and sighed with relief. She turned to look into the distance, a determined glint in her eyes.
At this moment, the twinkling light of the stars gathered on Jiang Wanwan's forehead like beads, as if a crown had been placed upon it, and these were all lights of merit.
As the light faded, Jiang Wanwan's newly achieved breakthrough became even more stable and solid.
"Master, I have decided to use my abilities to help more people in need!"
Old Xia nodded slightly, a pleased smile on his face.
"Alright, but you must remember that the path of cultivation is long, and you must not be impatient for quick success."
Jiang Wanwan nodded heavily. She knew the road ahead wouldn't be easy, but she was prepared.
Even after discovering that Jiang Beixing possessed a wood-elemental root, Shi Mei surprisingly chose to stay. It turned out she couldn't resist Jiang Beixing's sweet words and romantic advances, and willingly chose to remain. And so, she continued to stay within the soul banner, eagerly anticipating the day she too could begin cultivating.
"I only need one more Fire Spirit Mushroom to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill for my cousin. I also need to go to Y City to deliver a message for Li Chengfeng. It seems like going out is inevitable. My parents won't let me travel around, so I can only go to my grandma!"
"Your parents listen to your grandma?"
"Listen, it's practically an imperial edict!"
Jiang Wanwan began to explain the reason. When Jiang Dahe was a child, it was during the nationwide famine and drought. Yangjia Village was surrounded by mountains, and the situation was relatively good at first.
However, as the drought worsened, the villagers stripped Lianhua Mountain, Xishan Mountain, and Dongshan Mountain bare, leaving not a single leaf behind. Only the resources in the depths of the old, primeval forest, Niutou Mountain, remained relatively abundant.
To feed her family, Tian Dahua risked her life to go to Niutou Mountain in search of food. Later, when Jiang Dahe learned that his mother had risked her life to go into the mountains to find food, he felt even more sorry for her. He knew that many people who went into those old forests never returned.
After the famine, the family, already impoverished and struggling to make ends meet, had to resort to selling her blood to help her two sons, Jiang Daguo and Jiang Dahe, learn to read and write. She nearly drained herself dry. Jiang Dahe felt guilty about this for a long time.
Later, when Jiang Dahe came of age, it was Tian Dahua who strongly supported his marriage to Tian Cuicui despite opposition from others. Therefore, Jiang Dahe could be said to blindly believe his mother.
