She took a deep breath and quickly said, "Grandma, I'm sorry, Chu Wang tricked me out of the pharmacopoeia."
As soon as she finished speaking, Granny Lin stood there, stunned.
"You!" Granny Lin suddenly stood up from the bedside, her hand trembling as she pointed at Lin Jingge.
"The Pharmacopoeia is a treasure that our Lin family has sworn to protect with our lives. It has been passed down to daughters, not sons, since ancient times. And you just gave it to that ungrateful wretch like that?!" Granny Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Grandma, I'm sorry." Seeing Grandma Lin, who had always loved her and had never lost her temper with her, become angry, Lin Jingge was at a loss.
She didn't want to send the pharmacopoeia out, but she was bound by the plot.
The Lin family seemed to exist solely to provide equipment for the male protagonist. Once the pharmacopoeia was in the male protagonist's hands, the Lin family had no reason to exist, which is why in the original story, the Lin family was wiped out in an instant.
Grandma Lin glanced at Lin Jingge a few times, then rushed out the door.
"Grandma!" Lin Jingge's voice failed to make Grandma Lin turn around.
Grandma Lin sat on the threshold of the main room. It was the autumn harvest season, and the weather had been fine these past few days, with a bright moon and few stars at night.
Grandma Lin thought about how her mother had passed on the pharmacopoeia to her before she passed away, telling her of her mission. She had no daughters, only a son, and she had finally been looking forward to having a granddaughter, but she never expected that the son-in-law she found would be a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Now she finally understood why Chu Wang, a cultivator, would agree to marry into their Lin family; it turned out that what he wanted was their Lin family's pharmacopoeia.
Grandma Lin knelt on the ground in a daze, muttering, "The pharmacopoeia was taken from me in my generation. I am guilty, I am guilty! I have failed my ancestors."
"Grandma..." Lin Jingge held onto the door frame, looked at Grandma Lin kneeling on the ground, gritted her teeth and endured the pain all over her body, slowly moved over and knelt down next to Grandma Lin.
She wanted to tell everything, but found that she couldn't say anything about the plot.
Lin Jingge opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single syllable. In the end, she could only sigh, "Grandma, it's cold outside. Let's go inside. Don't worry, one day I will get the pharmacopoeia back."
"Forget it, the pharmacopoeia is gone, so be it. We can't fight Chu Wang now." By this time, Granny Lin had recovered her senses. With the pharmacopoeia gone, she couldn't watch her granddaughter Gu die.
Grandma Lin looked up at her granddaughter kneeling beside her. Her granddaughter was someone she had spoiled since childhood, so even if the other girl made a big mistake, Grandma Lin would subconsciously forgive her.
Grandma Lin: "Jiaojiao, I hope you can live a good life."
After saying that, he stood up from the ground and helped Lin Jingge back into the house.
Lin Jingge remained bedridden for more than half a month. Although the problem of her damaged meridians was not resolved, her other injuries had healed.
Grandma Lin's body is still the same as before. When she escaped the fire, she tried to self-destruct. Although she failed, she was seriously injured. It is almost impossible for her to recover.
The rice container at home is about to be empty.
This year, due to the monster scourge, many of the villagers' spiritual plants were ruined. Fortunately, the monsters didn't care for ordinary rice and grains, otherwise, who knows how many people in Qingyun Village would have starved to death this year.
"Jiaojiao, I've sold that hundred-year-old golden flower." Granny Lin returned from outside and was very happy to see that Lin Jingge was able to move around freely.
"Grandma, I wanted to save that golden flower for you to use to nourish your body."
“I used the money I got from selling gold flowers to buy a piece of land at the foot of the mountain. Living off our savings is not a long-term solution. As for nourishing my body, we’ll talk about that later.”
Seeing that Granny Lin had made her decision, Lin Jingge didn't say anything more and could only agree, "That's fine too."
“You are now a wood-type cultivator at the Spiritual Entry level. Although your meridians are damaged and there is no hope of advancing further, you can still grow spiritual plants. I have already acquired the land, and our family can grow them. Although the spiritual energy is not much, it is still more beneficial than ordinary rice.”
Grandma Lin took out a small bag of spirit rice seeds from the basket on her back and handed it to Lin Jinge.
(Cultivation levels: Spirit Entry, Spirit Practitioner, Spirit Master, Great Spirit Master, Spirit King, Spirit Sect Master)
“That spiritual field is near the foot of the mountain and is often trampled by demonic beasts. The previous owner died in a fight against the demonic beasts, and no one dared to take the land, which is why it came to us.” Granny Lin handed the remaining silver to Lin Jingge.
That piece of land was not within the village's defense line, so no one dared to take it. The village chief was also anxious to sell it. Although it was a mid-grade spirit field, the price was almost the same as that of ordinary farmland.
That afternoon, Lin Jingge and Grandma Lin carried their hoes to the foot of the mountain.
The monsters in the back mountain range are only lured down the mountain by spiritual plants during the harvest season; otherwise, they stay deep in the mountains.
"Grandma, how can the two of us protect the spiritual plant? When the monster comes down the mountain, won't all of this be in vain?"
"Therefore, we need to use spiritual power to stimulate the spiritual plants so that they can mature ahead of time and avoid the days when the demonic beasts come down the mountain," Granny Lin said, revealing her idea.
Although this method is dangerous, it is the best method so far.
After listening, Lin Jingge said no more.
A large area of land at the foot of the mountain had not been cultivated for a long time, and Grandma Lin and Lin Jingge found it very difficult to dig.
The two of them worked for half a day, and they had only just begun.
"Grandma, Miss Mu, I'm here to help you." Shen Ting came from the path, carrying a hoe on his shoulder.
The "Mu Girl" he mentioned was Lin Jingge. When Lin Jingge came to Qingyun Village, she had ulterior motives and did not reveal her real name, only saying that her surname was Mu.
“Chen Ting, we appreciate your kindness, but we’ve only just harvested the grain. Your family owns a lot of land, so you must be very busy. We don’t own much land, so we don’t need your help.”
Lin Jingge rubbed her aching back from bending over and digging, and politely declined Shen Ting's offer to help.
"We're all done with our work at home," Shen Ting said, scratching his head sheepishly.
He seemed quite shy; after only exchanging a few words with Lin Jingge, his ears started to burn. Fortunately, he had dark skin, so no one could tell he was blushing.
In order to come and help Lin Jinge, he spent the whole morning working on his own land. After finishing his plot, he rushed over to Lin Jinge's place.
Lin Jingge didn't ask Shen Ting for help, politely declining with various excuses. In the end, Shen Ting could only return home disappointed, carrying his hoe.
The sun gradually became scorching, making the backs of the people bending over digging the soil feel burning hot.
Few people come to the foot of the mountain. Until noon, only Shen Ting came. No one passed by along the way.
"Grandma, let's rest for a while." Lin Jingge had been digging all morning, but she hadn't managed to dig much out of the hard ground. Instead, her hands were covered in blisters.
She pulled Grandma Lin to rest in the shade.
Lin Jingge closed her eyes to rest, and her consciousness entered the space.
Since Xiaoshi woke up last time, the space has been able to open, and there are many more things now.
However, many things lacked energy and could not be used, and she could only see a part of the space where some daily robots were placed, while the rest was separated by a thin mist.
This digging isn't going to work. This land has been abandoned for years, and we've been digging for ages without any results.
"Grandma, I have something good to show you." Lin Jingge opened her eyes and said mysteriously to Grandma Lin.
Then, a robot appeared out of thin air.
