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

Xu Zisheng knocked on the door again, this time with a little more force.

However, there was still no sound from inside.

Monks don't normally need to sleep, and even if they really do, they can't sleep so soundly. He knocked so loudly, but there was no sound from inside.

Too abnormal.

A bad premonition flashed through his mind, and he immediately pushed open the door and walked in.

The bright moon shines through the window lattice, and the spring curtains are made of green gauze.

The night shadows float, and there is no one.

-

Youlan City is located in a remote area and not many monks come and go. However, every year when the orchids bloom, a large number of monks will travel thousands of miles here to admire the beauty of the blooming orchids and then pick the orchids on the cliffs.

The medicinal value of the orchid isn't actually high, but this spiritual plant possesses a special ability to beautify and nourish the skin. The Rejuvenating Pills made from it are highly effective, without any residual erysipelas. The older the orchid, the more effective the Rejuvenating Pills. On the Cultivation Continent, everyone, young or old, regardless of gender, will consume one.

After all, everyone loves beauty.

In the previous life, Jiang Liqian also helped the junior sister to get a thousand-year-old orchid. After the junior sister took it, her appearance became more beautiful, attracting the attention of countless disciples inside and outside the sect.

Some male disciples even fought over this, just to get their junior sister to look at them more.

She felt that appearance was nothing but smoke and clouds for a cultivator, flashy and superficial. If one was too obsessed with it, it would only delay his practice, which was not a good thing.

So she advised her junior sister to focus on her own cultivation and not let external things affect her Tao heart. She also punished those jealous male disciples and warned them to abide by the sect rules, stick to the Tao heart, and not be blinded by vanity.

However, rumors spread within the sect that she was jealous of her junior sister's beauty. Some people even put her name together with her junior sister's and asked the disciples in the sect to vote on who was the most beautiful woman in the Qiankun Sect.

She wanted to severely punish these troublemaking disciples, but the junior sister knelt in front of her crying and pleading for those disciples.

She was isolated on the high platform, while her junior sister was surrounded by people below the platform. Every word they said was full of gratitude to her and complaints about her inhumanity.

At that moment, she suddenly felt that her world was so separated from theirs, so clearly distinct.

Her storage bag was clearly filled with thousands of orchids that she had picked from thousands of miles away, suffering countless injuries. She thought that if they all became beautiful, perhaps she would care less about her appearance and concentrate on her cultivation.

But, actually, they don’t need it at all.

They just wanted to find an excuse to vent their dissatisfaction with her.

She didn't understand it in her previous life, but when she walked the Orchid Road again in this life, she suddenly figured it out.

She couldn't describe the feeling in her heart, she just felt it was ironic.

She gently raised her hand, and a light blue flower fell into her palm. The flower, blending into the moonlight, was delicate and beautiful, with a fresh fragrance and elegance. It was the unparalleled beauty pursued by countless monks.

It is also a free elf under the night wind.

Pinning the orchid gently in her hair, she walked along the flower path, step by step towards her destination, which was also the home she wanted - the Mortal Well.

The Mortal Well is located deep in the sea of ​​orchids, at the bottom of Jingyuetan Lake, and is guarded by the Yuetan Old Man.

The Old Man of Yuetan is neither human nor demon, but a spiritual being of heaven and earth formed from the water of the lake, which accidentally connected with the spirit of the moon. Cultivators who wish to travel between the realm of cultivation and the mortal realm must obtain the Old Man of Yuetan's permission.

This is also the response of heaven.

Normally, Old Man Yuetan would not prevent cultivators from going to the mortal realm. The main reason why Old Man Yuetan was stationed here was to prevent people with ulterior motives from destroying the mortal well, breaking the barrier between the two realms, and causing turmoil in heaven and earth.

Jiang Liqian had met Old Man Yuetan twice in her previous life. Each time, Old Man Yuetan was very kind to her, with a compassionate look and a sigh.

In this life, she came to the edge of Jingyuetan Lake again. Her small figure was reflected in the moonlight in the lake water. The fragrance of orchids filled her nose. Under the cold and bright moon, it was like a dream.

"Junior Jiang Liqian pays homage to Elder Yuetan." She bowed her head politely.

Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the mirror-like pond water, and a small ball of light flew out from the moonlight falling on the pond water and hovered in front of her.

Jiang Liqian only felt the sound of gurgling water passing by her ears, and then a kind-looking old man appeared in the light ball.

The old man looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Hello again, little girl from Lei Linggen."

Jiang Liqian was slightly stunned.

"Senior, have you met me?"

The old man of Yuetan did not answer, but waved his hand, splitting the water in the pond into two, revealing a white jade staircase leading directly to the bottom of the pond.

"The past is determined in this life, cause and effect are cyclical, and the laws of nature are eternal.

"Practitioner, continue on your path."

After he finished speaking, the old man turned into a ball of light again and sank into the pool.

Jiang Liqian murmured.

Are the past events determined in this life?

The past events will be determined in this life... Could it be that Old Man Yuetan knew that she was reborn?

Or did he know what she was going to do in the mortal realm?

"Senior, senior!" She called out to Old Man Yuetan twice, wanting to clarify the doubts in her heart, but unfortunately, no matter how she called out, the ball of light did not appear again.

She had no choice but to step onto the jade steps and walk to the bottom of the pool.

The water in the pool behind her quickly submerged the jade steps she was walking on. When she reached the bottom, the jade steps behind her were completely submerged in the water and disappeared in the bright moonlight.

She calmed herself down and walked towards the Mortal Well according to her memories of her previous life.

Jingyuetan Lake was originally formed as a barrier between the two worlds. It is neither like the moon nor like the lake. The water here is water, but also not water. Therefore, Jiang Liqian does not even need to use the water-avoiding spell to walk freely under the water and breathe.

With the memory of her previous life, she didn't have to spend much effort to reach the mortal well.

The well is under the pond, the water is in the moon, there is sky outside the sky, and there is water in the water.

Looking down from above, the cold pond is still, the moonlight is strong, and the water is deep. It seems to be alive, dancing with the light of the clear moon.

Without much hesitation, she turned over and jumped into the bottomless well, silently reciting the boundary of her mother's tombstone in her heart.

A flash of white light passed by, and she landed on a century-old locust tree.

The spiritual energy in the mortal realm is thin and dust is everywhere. When a cultivator suddenly arrives in the mortal realm, it is like a fish used to swimming in water suddenly arriving in a scorching desert. It will be very uncomfortable.

The higher the level of cultivation a cultivator has, the more difficult it will be for him to adapt to the mortal realm because of the thin spiritual energy.

Jiang Liqian was fine. She was just a cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining. She had come to the world of cultivation from the mortal realm, so she felt almost no discomfort.

She jumped down from the locust tree and landed lightly on the ground.

When she turned around, she saw a little girl in a floral jacket and skirt hiding behind a locust tree and secretly watching her.

She paused, waved her hand, and stirred the flowers from the locust tree, which slowly fell all over her head.

The little girl's eyes suddenly widened.
