Chapter 4

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wu Tan was located in the northwest corner of the East God Continent. It was a mortal country that had been established for nearly a hundred years.

In the vast East God Continent, it was very ordinary.

It was so ordinary that apart from the slightly strange name, there was nothing worth paying attention to.

But Bai Lian knew that all of this would change in a few years.

Ever since the Holy Spirit Goddess entered Yingzhou Cloud Mountain and swept through the sects on the Cloud Mountain with a Snow Blowing Heavy Sword, the ordinary Wu Tan Country had been praised as a “nurturing land”.

It was very common for celebrities with extraordinary backgrounds to appear from there.

However, there was a “storyteller” who had a ridiculous story about all of this.

In his words, an ancient spirit that was raised by heaven and earth had sex with the ground and got the ground pregnant. After the spiritual vein nourished it for a thousand years, the Holy Spirit Goddess was born into the world and was coincidentally picked up by the eldest son of the Xiao family, who couldn’t sleep at night, to be a daughter.

When she first saw this sentence on the computer screen, Bai Lian almost spat out her tea on the keyboard.

The mother was actually the ground?

That actually worked?

The Holy Spirit Goddess would probably want to hit someone if she heard that!

The most exaggerated thing was that people in the game really believed it.

In a certain good ending where Bai Lian was captured to work in a mine, Bai Lian passed by the deep mountains of Wu Tan and saw an NPC named Zhao Ritian digging a hole in the ground. He even specially poured some warm water in to stir it a few times.

Splash…

At first, she didn’t understand what Zhao Ritian wanted to do, but after seeing his pants move, she understood.

Zhao Ritian also wanted to have intercourse with the ground!

Disgusting!

What was he doing?

But after cultivating for three years in the world of “Battle of the Gods”, Bai Lian understood Zhao Ritian a little better.

Even if one was as rich as a country, they were no different from chickens and dogs in front of immortal cultivators.

As the saying went, everyone below an immortal was an ant!

There was almost no one in this world who didn’t have expectations for cultivation.

But one couldn’t become an immortal just because they wanted to.

They had to have aptitude.

In the terminology of immortal cultivators, one had to have a spiritual root, and only a great weapon could go far on the path of immortal cultivation!

Zhao Ritian was a person without spiritual root.

Under the urging of his immortal cultivation obsession, it was understandable for him to do such a thing, right?

Bai Lian’s talent was actually very good among ordinary people. After all, she had a Heavenly Spiritual Root and had a chance of becoming an immortal, but compared to those women with protagonist templates, she felt that she was trash.

“Sigh, not every character is broad-minded.”

Bai Lian had a headache.

“Battle of the Gods” was mixed with too many refreshing elements. The most refreshing elements were brainless villains who specialized in finding trouble with the protagonist and the people around the protagonist.

The characteristic of these brainless villains was that they would not stop until the other party’s family was destroyed.

The problem was that Bai Lian wasn’t the type of protagonist who couldn’t die.

“Don’t tell me someone is already plotting to harm me behind my back?” Bai Lian muttered.

Then, she shook her head. She was probably thinking too much.

She raised her head slightly.

Among the dark green mountains, a city enveloped in faint clouds slowly came into view…

Wu Tan, Green Mountain City!

Bai Lian put away the map and Second Junior Sister’s information flashed in her mind.

Xiao Jinse, the daughter of the previous head of the Xiao family, was 16 years old this year. She was the future Holy Spirit Goddess.

Personality: Low self-esteem.

Right, there was also hidden information that could be unlocked after clearing any one of An Lan’s endings.

When Xiao Jinse was young, she picked up a bracelet in the back mountain. Inside that bracelet was a Soul Formation white-bearded old man.

But what was troublesome was that before the old man could rely on absorbing the spiritual energy in Xiao Jinse’s body to awaken, he was directly torn apart by An Lan, who passed by.

“Soul Formation? Trash!”

“How dare you have designs on the woman I like? Die!!!”

The old man’s soul was destroyed. Even his hope of reincarnation and becoming a human again was extinguished.

This confirmed Bai Lian’s intention to respect her master.

…

The Immortal Ascension Assembly made Green Mountain Ancient City look new and lively like a market.

Countless people gathered around the square. Some came to watch the commotion, while others came to pray.

On the temporary high platform in the middle of the square, the cultivators from the nearby immortal sects all seemed very arrogant.

They indeed had the capital to be proud. Anyone who could enter the immortal sect was a “genius” one in ten thousand.

Although the square was very lively now, there might not be more than ten people who could really be recruited as disciples of cultivation sects. Many of them had entered through the back door.

For example…

“My father is the richest man in Green Mountain City!”

“Sure.”

After all, immortal cultivation sects also had to earn money.

Especially these small sects whose sect masters were only at the Golden Core stage. They would earn as much as they could. They begged for money and the rich begged for fame. Both parties only took what they needed. Wasn’t that beautiful?

Or for example…

“I’m not good at anything else, but I’m really good at physical activities…”

“Not bad.”

Cultivators also had to exercise occasionally.

Especially those special sects that studied “Yin Yang” or those evil cultivators.

Some of the immortals who came later felt that they had found an easy way to enter the sect when they saw this scene and immediately shouted.

“Immortal Master, Immortal Master, my butt is big!”

“Immortal Master, I have good stamina. I won’t be tired from being whipped all night.”

“Scram, scram, scram. The immortal master won’t take in a male disciple like you.”

“Little girl, you actually dare to teach Grandpa a lesson!”

In the commotion, a young girl in a light-colored dress walked down from the high platform with a dark expression. The shouts of the aptitude candidates still echoed in her ears.

“Crippled spiritual root!”

Indeed, her spiritual root was still crippled.

Xiao Jinse had always thought that the test was wrong, but the heartless truth crushed her last hope.

She would rather not have a spiritual root on her body. This way, she wouldn’t have to experience the pain of falling to the bottom.

Because of the talent she displayed when she was young, she was scheduled to be the Swordholder of the Sword Washing Pavilion on the Cloud Mountain of Yingzhou, becoming a genius envied by the entire Green Mountain City. However, all her glory collapsed after she was tested by the Sword Washing Pavilion to have a crippled spiritual root.

That year, Xiao Jinse was 10 years old.

She, who still didn’t understand the situation, had experienced the coldness and warmth of the world.

Fortunately, her father, the head of the Xiao family, was protecting her.

However, her ill fate did not stop there. Soon after, her father died of illness, and Xiao Jinse completely became a peripheral figure of the Xiao family.

Those who had tried their best to flatter her jumped out to scold her, purely venting the malice produced by their former jealousy.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Xiao family still cared about their reputation, who knew what she would be like now.

Xiao Jinse gently touched a scar on her wrist. It had been there since someone hit her with a bamboo stick. All she could do was silently lick the wound.

“I knew that the immortal master of the Sword Washing Pavilion wouldn’t make a mistake, but you didn’t believe me, idiot.”

“You should know your place. Hurry up and go back with me. Don’t embarrass yourself outside.”

“Are you worthy of chasing after an immortal encounter? Heh, be good and find someone to marry!”

Just as she walked out of the crowd, these mocking words attacked Xiao Jinse like a storm.

The girl lowered her head slightly, not daring to argue with the others.

She was used to it.

Someone would block her path soon.

As expected, the girl bumped into someone.

The girl raised her head and looked at the unfamiliar man stubbornly. He had a mustache, and when he smiled, his eyes were crescent-shaped.

“Little girl, do you want to pursue the path of longevity? Do you want to really… live?”

Xiao Jinse’s eyes flickered.

The person said excitedly, “Actually, it’s not impossible to repair a crippled spiritual root.”

Xiao Jinse’s body trembled, and her eyes gradually widened.

“Immortal Master, you…”

That person said, “As long as you’re willing to be my furnace, I’ll repair your spiritual root for you!”

Furnace?

The girl’s eyes dimmed again. Of course she understood what this meant.

So that was the case.

In the end, wasn’t he just lusting for her body?

She knew that even her cousins had revealed greedy gazes at her more than once.

If this was the only way to step onto the path of immortality, then it was fine if she didn’t cultivate!

If she had to be bullied a thousand times, she would just die.

Just as the girl gritted her teeth, the travel-worn Bai Lian finally arrived near the square. She quickly found her target.

“Looks like I came at the right time.”

Bai Lian was delighted.

She was definitely going to cozy up to her junior sister!

Now was the time to earn favorability.

Suddenly, four options appeared in front of Bai Lian.

[Mission 1: Go forward and beat up the evil cultivator who has designs on Xiao Jinse (Mission Reward: Five Spirits Immortal Scripture)]

[Mission 2: Secretly poke the evil cultivator’s butt with sword aura (Mission Reward: High-grade Dharma artifact, Dragon Mist Bracelet)]

[Mission 3: Go over and say to the evil cultivator: Senior, can I tag along? (Mission Reward: Spirit Gathering Array Blueprint)]

[Mission 4: Pass by (Mission Reward: Soft body skill+1)]

“Ah, this?”
