After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

In order to reduce contact with outsiders and thus reduce her own danger, Jiang Liqian decided not to go out tonight. When she was hungry, she would take a fasting pill, and she would not sleep but meditate the whole time.

Although Sanxin City's safety index was relatively high, what city didn't have its secrets? If they really encountered a vicious criminal, they would have ways to quickly leave Sanxin City, and she would be the only one unlucky.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

I had just finished meditating for a small cycle of meditation when there was a knock on the door. The innkeeper's voice rang out: "Daoist friend, the innkeeper said that there is an extra portion of water spirit fruit tonight. I asked me to bring it to you. You can have it as a snack, no charge."

Jiang Liqian frowned slightly, but didn't open the door. She said calmly, "No need. Thank you for the shopkeeper's kindness."

The waiter smiled and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist. The shopkeeper knows your concerns. The water spirit fruit is placed outside the door. If you want to eat it, you can take it. If you don't want to eat it, you can just leave it here."

After he finished speaking, the sound of a porcelain plate hitting the ground was heard outside the door.

Jiang Liqian was stunned for a moment and didn't move.

The evening breeze is rustling, the moonlight is cool, the sound of wind is dark, and the sky is dim.

Jiang Liqian tried to expand his spiritual consciousness beyond his body, and in coordination with the flow of the Qiankun Heart Method, he slowly absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Generally speaking, the Qi Refining Stage marks the beginning of one's journey into the Immortal Realm and serves as the foundation. It's like a water bag, slowly filling up until it overflows, allowing one to travel far. However, while the water is being stored, it's almost impossible to perform spells that consume too much spiritual energy, as this could damage the bag and leak. Consequently, one's sea of ​​consciousness would be reduced to the size of a palm, making it impossible to see outside.

Only by successfully building the foundation can one truly take the first step on the long road to immortality. From this moment on, expanding one's consciousness, practicing magic, and flying with a sword become the basics.

Logically speaking, Jiang Liqian could not see things with her spiritual sense when she was refining Qi. Even in her previous life, she had to reach the twelfth level of Qi Refining and was half a step away from building a foundation before she could control her spiritual sense.

However, after being reborn, she could feel the enhancement of her sea of ​​consciousness. She wanted to try and see if there was a change in her destiny, and whether her path in this life could be different from that in her previous life.

You reap what you sow, and you will reap the fruits of your actions. Will her dead end be her way out?

A young and handsome face suddenly appeared in front of him, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

She closed her eyes tightly.

Jiang Liqian, when did you become so weak? Even in your previous life, when you wanted to move forward, you wouldn't care if someone followed you.

The next day.

Jiang Liqian walked down from upstairs and when she came in front of the shopkeeper who was counting the abacus, she put down five low-grade spirit stones and then turned and left.

Five low-grade spirit stones are the price of a plate of water spirit fruit.

The shopkeeper was stunned, then burst out laughing.

He was so vigilant that he didn't even open the door, and didn't eat a single bite of the fruit, but he refused to accept any kindness and insisted on being given the spirit stone before leaving.

Why is this little girl so strong-willed?

Suddenly remembering the scene of her coming to the inn alone in a cloak as the sunset fell, the shopkeeper's smile faded and a trace of sadness flashed through his heart.

Yes, how can a little girl who doesn’t even have an elder in her industry survive if she doesn’t try to be strong?

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper sighed and decided that if he met this little girl again next time, he would personally bring a plate of spiritual fruits for her to taste.

Jiang Liqian had no idea what the shopkeeper was thinking. She was currently trapped in a dark alley by three burly men with ferocious faces, unable to move forward or backward.

Behind these three big men was a little beggar with a dirty face.

The little beggar shrank his neck and pointed in her direction, his head buried in his collar. His voice trembled with fear: "It's...it's her. I'm sure she...she must have a lot of spirit stones on her..."

One of the burly men looked back and forth at Jiang Liqian several times, but couldn't see how she looked wealthy. Suspicious, he turned around, grabbed the back of his collar, and threatened with a narrowed smirk, "Boy, you know our rules. If she can't find a few spirit stones on her, we'll have to make a move on you."

The little beggar nodded desperately, "I know, I know. I can guarantee that when she entered the city and stayed at the inn, she asked the price and paid directly with spirit stones without even bargaining. Third brother, think about it, if a lonely and helpless little girl with no spirit stones came into Sanxin City, would she be so willing to pay with spirit stones?"

The big man called Third Brother thought about what he said and realized that it was indeed true. He immediately shook him off, turned around and rubbed his fists as he walked towards Jiang Liqian.

"Little girl, we brothers only want to rob you of your wealth, not your life. If you are smart and hand over all the spirit stones on you, we brothers will let you go unharmed. If you don't obey," he snorted and laughed, showing a lewd smile, "we brothers will have no choice but to test how much your delicate skin and tender flesh are worth and send you to a good place."

Jiang Liqian never expected that even after all her preparations and precautions, she was still caught by someone, and this person was an unknown little beggar with no cultivation.

Thinking back to her past life, she strictly followed the sect rules and never left the mountain before she established her foundation. After she established her foundation, she followed the elders or disciples with advanced cultivation. When she reached the Golden Core and Yuanying stages, she had no rivals. Even if she left the sect alone, no one could get the upper hand against her. Naturally, she didn't need to hide anything.

Once her cultivation level fell and she was reborn, she realized that she was not thoughtful enough.

She is too proud, even after being reborn.

Taking a few steps back, Jiang Liqian's eyes quickly scanned every possible escape route. She feigned fearlessness and questioned them, "No fighting, no killing, no stealing, no bullying of the weak in Sanxin City. I haven't even left the territory of Sanxin City yet, and you're blocking me here. Aren't you afraid that the patrolling guards of Sanxin City will come and arrest you?"

"And I... I don't have any spirit stones. How can you come to stop me just because he's alone? If I really have a lot of spirit stones, how could I be out there alone without even a guard?"

When the big man called Third Brother heard her say that, he thought it made sense. He turned his head and looked at the other two big men beside him: "Big Brother, Second Brother, this little girl seems to have a point. Shouldn't we just sell her to that place directly to save effort?"

Jiang Liqian was shocked. She didn't expect that these ruffians had no intention of letting him go.

It seems that she can't escape today whether she has the spirit stone or not.

Her eyes suddenly darkened and she lowered her gaze.

I've looked carefully and it's obvious that this place was chosen by the other party to rob. There is no other way out except the entrance they blocked.
