After successfully overcoming her tribulation, Jiang Wanwan hurriedly bid farewell to Yan Ziyan. Overjoyed, she returned to the Cloud Mist Pavilion and eagerly entered the spatial dimension.
It turns out that just now, Elder Xia was laughing wildly in the space and told Jiang Wanwan through telepathy that the space had undergone another huge change.
This excited Jiang Wanwan so much that she didn't even notice Yan Ziyan's hesitant expression before quickly slipping away.
At this moment, atop Dongshan Mountain.
"Hey, Lao Yan, why are you all alone? Where's the sect leader?" Jiang Qinian asked curiously.
Jiang Nanxing crossed his arms, a gloating expression on his face: "I knew it, Brother Yan definitely failed. With that thunder and lightning just now, he must have failed in his confession!"
Jiang Qinian scratched her head in confusion, not understanding the reason: "Why?"
Jiang Nanxing burst into laughter: "Of course, it's because I made a vow during my confession that I'm fulfilling it!"
Yan Ziyan, his handsome face sullen, ignored their playful banter and turned to leave. Wanwan had already reached the Golden Core stage; he needed to cultivate even harder.
Little did they know that his retreating figure was interpreted by Jiang Qinian and the other woman as a failed confession and a hasty retreat.
"Girl, come here quickly!"
Seeing that Jiang Wanwan stared blankly at the suddenly appearing sea as soon as she entered the space, Old Xia beckoned her over.
Jiang Wanwan closed her mouth, utterly shocked!
Since returning from the Divine Dragon Secret Realm, Jiang Wanwan has moved several spiritual veins into her space, but the space has not changed at all.
Now that I've leveled up through cultivation, this space has undergone a tremendous change.
Jiang Wanwan looked at the endless sea in front of her.
Like a giant blue mirror, it shimmers with tiny points of light under the sunlight, forming a boundless picture.
The waves, caressed by the gentle breeze, rolled and churned like flowing white ribbons, showcasing the magnificence of the sea to its fullest extent.
Yes, now the space not only has mountains and water, but also sunshine and wind. Look at those white clouds, and I reckon there's even rain and dew.
Jiang Wanwan walked excitedly to Elder Xia's side and asked curiously, "Master, is the current state of this space the small world you mentioned?"
Old Xia nodded and pointed to the tall Tree of Life, saying, "The changes in this space are probably due to that flower. Once it bears fruit, the rules of this space will likely become even more perfect!"
Jiang Wanwan looked in the direction Xia Lao pointed, and at the top of the green tower, pure white flowers were swaying in the wind.
"How come there's only one flower on such a big tree?"
Jiang Wanwan craned her neck and searched carefully. There was indeed only one flower. The pure white petals wrapped around the pale yellow stamen, making it look so delicate and beautiful.
"It only blooms once every thousand years, and to get even one flower is incredibly lucky!"
Old Xia explained in a bad mood.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and agreed repeatedly, then ran happily to the beach, stretching her neck to use her divine sense to check if there were any fish in the sea.
A moment later, Jiang Wanwan emerged from the space carrying a 10-pound yellow croaker, muttering to herself:
"Master, I'll make it and you can have a taste later!"
Old Xia is picking his toes with his hands behind his back; how could I possibly taste anything?
The Jiang family courtyard was now crowded with people, all of whom had been invited back by Jiang Wanwan to eat fish.
"Wanwan, is this fish a criminal offense? I saw on TV that wild yellow croaker is already an endangered species, a rare animal!"
As Jiang Dahe spoke of protecting animals, his eyes gleamed as he stared longingly at the large, shimmering golden fish.
Yan Ziyan, who was standing to the side, coughed lightly and said, "Uncle Jiang, although wild yellow flowers are rare, they are still available for sale in the market."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Beixing's eyes lit up, and he said impatiently, "Then what are we waiting for? I'll go kill the fish!"
Just then, Jiang Beixing volunteered to take the big fish from Jiang Wanwan's hands. However, the fish, which had been obedient and docile in Jiang Wanwan's hands, suddenly lashed out with its tail and hit Jiang Beixing's face.
This scene made everyone else in the courtyard burst into laughter.
Liangtian Town in S Province is a remote town. There is an illegal coal mine there, and the miners inside are all people who have been trafficked to work illegally.
Wang Chen was wearing tattered clothes of indeterminate color, making him look extremely disheveled.
At this moment, he was huddled in a mine shaft, his eyes fixed on what lay ahead. There, golden light shimmered, like twinkling stars.
A twisted and manic expression appeared on Wang Chen's face.
What a stroke of luck! There's always a way out!
It turned out that the shimmering golden light was actually the primal power of metal. This was an unexpected delight for him. Once he could successfully refine this primal power, he would become incredibly powerful.
By then, who would dare to bully him? Who would dare to force him to do hard labor?
"Smack!"
A crisp, loud sound echoed in the air as a whip lashed out from the sky, striking "Wang Chen" hard.
Wang Chen was startled and snapped out of his reverie. He looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.
"What are you grinning about? Get to work! If you don't collect ten baskets today, you won't get any food or sleep! Do you hear me?" A rude voice rang out, filled with obvious dissatisfaction and threat.
Wang Chen nodded silently, then picked up the tools beside him and began working mechanically. His movements were somewhat stiff, as if he had lost his soul. However, deep within his lowered eyes, there was an endless killing intent.
After the man left, Wang Chen threw down his tools and staggered toward the glittering golden spot. He sat cross-legged and greedily absorbed the scattered spiritual energy that drifted out.
In the Jiang family's courtyard, everyone sat around the table, looking forward to today's fish feast.
In no time, the table was filled with various dishes. The fish was prepared seven ways: steamed, braised, pan-fried, deep-fried, stewed, dry-fried, and finally, in a meatball soup. Each dish exuded an enticing aroma, making one's mouth water.
Old Xia stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded at the table laden with delicious food. In all his years, this was the first time he had ever known that a fish could be prepared in so many ways.
He, who had never cared much about food before, couldn't help but feel a little regretful now. Because he was just a soul now, everything tasted the same to him.
Jiang Dahe then brought out the projector from the house. It was recently sent by Huang Sicong, and he planned to show it to everyone today.
"Breaking news! In Liangtian Town, S Province, an illegal coal mine collapsed, resulting in 23 deaths and 10 serious injuries..."
"Hey! Wait a minute, Dad!" Jiang Wanwan hurriedly called out to Jiang Dahe, who was adjusting the projector. Her gaze was drawn to the image on the screen, and her eyes sharpened.
She carefully observed the images in the news and noticed that the scattered dots seemed to emit a peculiar energy fluctuation.
