Master's Chief Disciple

Fengming Forest was unusually quiet in the morning. There was not even a bird. The only sound was the laughter of Ji Baiyuan and others.

Song Shixin kept thinking about what Tang Mengmeng had said just now. She was not that kind of person, and she also wanted to get along well with these people.

Then I recalled in my mind what I had experienced when I was still a casual cultivator.

Thirty years ago, she was just a casual cultivator in the Blue Soul Realm.

"Everyone knows her family. Her mother is so shameless. Is this her child?"

Song Shixin felt very uncomfortable after hearing this.

Although she is still in her teens, she has read all kinds of books since she was a child, so she naturally understands these words.

Originally, the family had a good business, and the family of four had no worries about food and drink, and their life was very comfortable.

Her brother and parents are only at the Burning Veins stage.

But suddenly, for some unknown reason, all the business was lost overnight. During that period, her mother seemed like a different person. She was away from home every day, and when she came home she would scold and beat her, while her brother always protected her.

Her father thought about selling her or marrying her to a wealthy family, but she refused to do so and resisted vigorously. Her family knew they couldn't persuade her, so they had to give up the idea and try again later when they had the chance.

After her family fell into poverty, several friends who had treated her like a good sister avoided her and spread rumors about her mother.

Over time, everyone accepted this as the truth and said that she was the bastard of her mother and some man.

My mother couldn't stand the pain of being scolded and poked at by others every time she went out.

The next morning, she disappeared from the town and left a letter for her daughter, saying that her surname was not Song and that she was picked up by her mother.

This news was like a bolt from the blue. She had countless thoughts in her mind, but she never expected this would be the result.

She was unwilling to accept this fact, but she was grateful that this family was willing to treat her like their own daughter.

She originally wanted to help her family rebuild the business, but unexpectedly, her adoptive father and brother secretly sold her to a businessman.

At that moment, the last line of defense in my heart completely collapsed. I managed to escape and went to a nearby town.

I helped people eliminate low-level monsters and sold the valuables. After a few years, I had saved up some money.

His realm also broke through to the Daoying realm. Thinking that people should learn to be grateful, he returned to his home in Lurong Town.

After taking a look at this last thought, he put down the silver and was about to leave. But he ran into his adoptive father and his friends.

She did not exchange pleasantries with them, but said coldly: "I just came back to repay your kindness. There are a few bags of silver on the table, enough for the two of you to save for the rest of your lives."

It is said that people will change over time, but this family was still unwilling to let her go and sold her to another businessman to avoid any complications.

He wanted to marry her directly, so he found a maid or a matchmaker to dress her up, and then carried her in a sedan chair to the mansion.

But who would have thought that she woke up. Fortunately, she did not slack off on the path of cultivation. She broke the roof of the sedan with one punch and was about to escape.

This businessman was no pushover, so he arranged for a few independent cultivators to accompany her. However, those independent cultivators were not as skilled as hers, so they were no match for her and were knocked down in just a few moves.

Just as she was about to leave, a voice called out to her, "Girl, do you look down on Wen?" She turned around and saw a handsome man in red looking at her.

Then he took out a bag of silver from his ring and threw it to him, "Take it." Then he left without looking back.

Now she just wants to leave this town that makes her feel disappointed and never come back.

But things often don't go as planned. The moment she was about to step out of the town, a group of women blocked her way. They were her good sisters.

She thought they came to apologize to her, but she underestimated these people. They kept scolding her, saying that she was a wild child without a father or a mother, and that she was a shameless woman who actually wanted to marry the man just now.

Unexpectedly, only two years later, the rumor changed again. This place really suffocated her. At this moment, there was no one she could rely on or trust.

He endured the grievances and injustices he had suffered over the years and shouted sternly, "Get out of the way!!"

Who knew that the women would go even further, "So what if you don't move? You're still cultivating immortality like this, I think you'd better be a toilet cleaner."

"You think you are still the daughter of the Song family, but you are just a piece of trash they picked up." After saying that, he pushed her.

She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, "I'll say it again, get out of the way!!"

A surge of angry murderous aura rose up, scaring them so much that they retreated again and again.

A cold knife was about to stab her. She sensed the danger and subconsciously turned around to hold the knife with her right hand. Her left hand threw a purple lightning ball, and the woman fell down due to the electric shock.

Others saw this and ran away, shouting like crazy: "Help! Someone is killing someone."

She wanted to press on with her victory, but was pulled to a corner by a hand. The other person was a man who hushed her to be quiet.

It happened to be raining at the time and the sky was covered with dark clouds so I couldn't see his face clearly.

After a while, she followed him and left the town that made her feel extremely sick.

The man told her that if she wanted to continue practicing and improving her strength, she should cut off all worldly past and go to a place called Xinghantian Sect.

This is how what happened next happened.

In fact, after so long, she should have forgotten it and tried to accept them, but every time she tried to open her heart, the horrifying past kept coming to her mind.

The pain and helplessness of being betrayed by the person closest to you and whom you trust the most has penetrated deep into your bones.

Moreover, who she was, who were her parents, and why did they abandon her in the first place, but these did not matter to her anymore. What mattered was that she had to let it go. Any hesitation would only hurt herself.

After breakfast, Ji Baiyuan and others continued their journey.

Song Shixin still walked silently behind them alone, she hoped that everything could still be saved.

Ji Baiyuan couldn't bear to see her alone, so he went up to her and started chatting with her.

This time she was very strange. She didn't have the airs or act arrogant as before. Instead, she chatted with him calmly.

Sometimes when a person is really stuck in a shadow and can't get out of it, they really need someone to wake her up, and it happened that what Tang Mengmeng said made her completely change.

On the path of cultivating immortals, one must cut off all worldly past, and those mundane things have nothing to do with her anymore.

The few of them headed towards Yunjian Mountain. Song Shixin finally tore off the label of arrogance and slowly integrated into the team.

When they walked into a dense forest, they noticed that there was something around them staring at them. But what could be in this Fengming Forest? Even if the monsters had ten thousand courages, they would not dare to set foot here.

After all, Fengming Forest is a place where spiritual beasts live. Suddenly, a giant red bird flew in from the sky in the distance and kept circling over their heads, refusing to leave.

After looking at each other, the few people ignored it and left. However, they didn't expect it to fly to the ground, blocking their way, and flapping its huge wings continuously.

If they were not allowed to go straight, then they had to turn around. The cat chirped and flapped its huge wings, blocking their way again.

"What do you want to do, bird? Kidnapping?" Tang Mengmeng said unhappily.

It chirped, flapped its wings and flew away. The group didn't think too much and continued walking forward. But not long after, the bird flew back again, and this time it caught Song Shixin away unexpectedly.

Several people were so frightened that they ran and shouted.

"You stinky bird, let her go now. You shouldn't rob people like this. At least talk it over." Tang Mengmeng joked.

In fact, the bird wanted to tell them something from the beginning, but they ignored it many times, so it had no choice but to do this last resort.

If this unusual bird blocks your way, it means either there is danger ahead, or it is here to bring you an opportunity.

A few people ran all the way to the foot of a mountain and were about to fall down, but fortunately they stopped in time.

After looking around for a long time, there was no sign of the bird, which made Ji Baiyuan and his companions very anxious. Suddenly, there was a chirp, and the giant bird flapped its wings and flew up from the foot of the mountain.

But Song Shixin was not in the bird's claws at all, so where did she go?

"You bad bird, give Song Shixin back to me." He picked up a stone on the ground and threw it over.

Seeing that she didn't win, Tang Mengmeng started cursing again: "If you dare to eat her, I will pluck all your hair out, then light a fire and fry you into skewers."

Ji Baiyuan and Su Yun kept using magic to attack the bird. The bird was very angry but did not fight back.

Fang Hanyu was unusually calm as she muttered, "I hit it but it didn't fight back, and it doesn't look like a monster. Maybe it's here to bring you opportunities, just like my bird."

Tang Mengmeng kept cursing all kinds of nasty words on the side, and when Ji Baiyuan and Su Yun saw that it didn't fight back, they stopped attacking.

The bird had no choice but to cry to the sky. Tang Mengmeng stopped scolding it when she saw that it had no ill intentions. After thinking for a while, she looked at Fang Hanyu who was standing beside her and asked, "Is it here to bring you an opportunity?"

"According to my analysis, it should have no ill intentions, and it did not attack us when it blocked our way several times at the beginning. It did not fight back when Su Yun and I attacked the bird just now." Ji Baiyuan explained.

"Brother is right. Mengmeng, don't worry too much about her. She should be here to bring you an opportunity." Fang Hanyu comforted her.

"I'm so scared. What if something happens to her..." He leaned on Fang Hanyu's shoulder.

After circling for a while, the bird flew to the foot of the mountain opposite them and deliberately spat out a bone. In fact, it was just the rabbit it had just eaten.

Tang Mengmeng fainted when she saw this, and the others also began to get scared and worried. They thought the bird wouldn't really eat Song Shixin, but these were spiritual beasts and couldn't possibly eat humans.

When the birds saw her faint, they chirped happily.

"Why don't we go down and look for Song Shixin. I'm afraid the bird really ate her..." Fang Hanyu said sadly.

"It's unlikely. From the time we arrived at the foot of the mountain until it flew up from the foot of the mountain until now, even if it ate Song Shixin, it couldn't have digested it so quickly." Su Yun analyzed.

"But what if it digests it quickly? Look at how big it is, and it's as tall as both of you."

As soon as the bird spat out the bone, Ji Baiyuan flew to the foot of the mountain on his sword, but he was bounced back by a strong force after a while. He tried several times in a row but was sent back every time.

He punched the ground, feeling that he had failed to protect her. A murderous intent gradually arose in his eyes as he glared at the giant bird opposite.

In a secret place at the foot of the mountain, Song Shixin was dazzled by the environment. The lawns on both sides were full of colorful flowers, and there was a waterfall in front. Under the waterfall was a clear water pool, and something was glowing at the bottom of the pool.

The guy had completely forgotten that he was kidnapped here. He was really careless! Soon he noticed the movement in the pond.

He jumped down without thinking, and when he got closer, he saw a sword with a faint red glow. There was a pattern of white feathers carved on the red hilt.

After observing for a while, I reached out to take it, but I couldn't take it away. It was like it was stuck there. I couldn't use my spiritual power, and I had held my breath for too long, so I had to go ashore.

I sat and thought for a long time but still had no idea what was going on. I couldn't take the sword away, and I couldn't get out. I was almost going crazy.

Fortunately, she crossed her legs and started practicing. She felt that her whole body was surrounded by endless spiritual energy, which was just enough to help her break through the first level of the Immortal Shadow Realm.

Sure enough, she broke through the first level of the Immortal Shadow Realm not long after, and went into the water to try to take the sword. This time she picked it up easily. When she reached the ground, the sword circled around her for a while and then stopped, and began to infuse her with abundant spiritual energy.

He sat down and began to practice and comprehend. Within an incense stick of time, he successfully broke through to the second level of the Immortal Shadow Realm!

Then the sword transformed into a red bracelet, with red and white gradient feathers carved on the inner and outer circles, shining with a faint red glow.

The fusion was complete the moment the hand touched it.

This is an immortal-level magic weapon called the Scarlet Fire Fantasy Feather Bracelet.

This was also a good opportunity. For most cultivators, it was already very lucky to have risen two realms in a row.

Ji Baiyuan outside was struggling with the giant bird, while Su Yun stayed where he was taking care of the frightened Tang Mengmeng. Fang Hanyu still felt in her heart that Song Shixin would definitely come back safely.

Song Shixin was worrying about how to get out, and the giant bird outside seemed to be able to sense that she had merged the magic weapon.

Then he flew towards the foot of the mountain and sent Song Shixin back in the same way he had captured her just now.

Ji Baiyuan was very happy to see that she was safe and sound. Looking at the bird circling in the air, he expressed his gratitude to it and at the same time deeply apologized for his previous behavior.

The bird chirped a few times and then turned and flew away.

Looking at the fainted Tang Mengmeng, Song Shixin asked with rare concern: "What happened to her?"

After a few people explained, she started to smile and was much more approachable than before when she had a stern face.

After a while, Tang Mengmeng woke up, and I felt relieved to know that she was fine.

Song Shixin also told them everything that happened at the foot of the mountain.

This Fengming Forest really provided them with endless opportunities. After getting organized, they continued their journey to Yunjian Mountain.

On the way, the three girls discussed the properties and abilities of their respective magic weapons.
