The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Three years have passed.

When Luo Qingcheng opened his eyes, he thought he had transmigrated again.

She's dressed even worse than last time.

The story begins in a savage cave. Watch how she rises from nothing to become a god.

"you're awake."

The pleasant male voice stated.

Luo Qingcheng controlled his body and shakily got up.

After experiencing the pseudo-wood spirit root within his body, which was refined from the Jumping Vine, he discovered that he had now reached the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

Although it is called a pseudo-spiritual root, it is much higher than ordinary top-grade wood spiritual roots. As the core of a primordial gourd vine that was born at the beginning of the world, its affinity for wood spiritual power can be said to be the best in the world.

If others found out, how could Luo Qingcheng possibly pass the third item of her entrance exam?

However, due to the shattered meridians, he was unable to use magic techniques and could only possess the realm of cultivation.

But now she can temper her physical body without relying on the system to replenish her spiritual power.

After a moment of adjustment, Luo Qingcheng, feeling somewhat awkward having not spoken for a long time, said, "Thank you, Elder Wangqing, for everything you have done for me."

He was trying to wipe away all his debts with this one thank you.

Yes, Luo Qingcheng was not completely unaware during those three years.

Therefore, she knew very well how many rare treasures Elder Wangqing had spent on her in order to save her life.

It's to the point where even if you dismantle her and sell her, you still wouldn't be able to pay it back.

"It's alright. Now that you're awake, you may leave on your own."

Luo Qingcheng was overjoyed.

It turns out that Elder Wangqing is an angel investor!

She immediately packed her things and prepared to run away. Before she left, a voice transmission reached her ears.

"Two conditions: The Immortal Sect Grand Competition will begin in six months. Your third-place finish in the advancement competition was illegitimate. You must pass the inner sect assessment and win first place in the Immortal Sect Grand Competition. Then, your debt of 500,000 high-grade spirit stones will be forgiven. If you fail to do so—"

Clearly, if she couldn't pass the inner sect assessment and win first place in the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, she would have to work for the Sword Inquiry Sect until she died.

Luo Qingcheng reluctantly agreed, on the verge of tears.

Because she really couldn't afford to pay back 500,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Since he was going to participate in the inner sect assessment, Luo Qingcheng decided to find a reliable person to go with.

The first person she thought of was Hu Muyu.

For three years, while she lay immobile on the bed of millennia-old ice, but still conscious, Luo Qingcheng knew that every time Hu Muyu sent her younger brother Hu Muyun to visit her, because outer disciples were not allowed to enter the inner sect.

I also learned from Hu Muyun that Hu Muyu, who has been training hard for three years and has made full preparations, is planning to take on the inner sect assessment.

Luo Qingcheng first went to the Bounty Hall to accept the inner sect assessment task, and then returned to his previous residence to find Hu Muyu.

Just then, Hu Muyu went out.

Luo Qingcheng exclaimed in delight, "Senior Sister Hu!"

When Hu Muyu heard someone calling her, she looked up and saw a beautiful, unfamiliar junior sister waving at her.

Hu Muyu didn't recognize her, but she still walked over in a good mood, wanting to ask this junior sister what kind of help she needed.

Seeing the way Hu Muyu looked at the stranger, Luo Qingcheng smiled charmingly and said, "Senior Sister Hu, don't you recognize me? I'm Luo Qingcheng!"

With so many treasures nourishing his body, Luo Qingcheng's sallow complexion and emaciation caused by malnutrition had long since disappeared, and he had returned to his original appearance.

It turned out to be her junior sister whom she had been missing for three years. Hu Muyu immediately beamed with joy, "Little sister, you're finally awake!"

After the two had been affectionate for a while, Luo Qingcheng asked, "Senior Sister Hu, I heard that you're going to take on the inner sect assessment soon, is that true?"

"Have!"

Luo Qingcheng suggested, "Why don't we travel together?"

Hu Muyu asked in confusion, "Girl, you're already an inner disciple, why do you still need to take the assessment?"

Luo Qingcheng also wanted to ask Elder Wangqing why, but when she thought about the 500,000 high-grade spirit stones she owed, she decided to let it go.

All I could do was sigh, "Oh well, something unexpected happened halfway through, so I didn't get a place fairly."

Hu Muyu patted her chest, "It's okay, little sister, your senior sister will protect you!"

She is now in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, so she has every right to say that.

Luo Qingcheng said with a grin, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister."

As she spoke, Hu Muyu took out a storage bag. "This is the spirit stone that Wanwan asked me to give you when she went out for training with her master. It's the spirit stone you won from betting on yourself to be in the top three during the advancement competition."

Luo Qingcheng took it and was very happy.

Now we have the travel expenses.

She thanked Hu Muyu, and after discussing it, the two decided to set off immediately.

If you need anything, just go to Sword City to buy it.

The two sisters, who hit it off immediately, went to Sword Inquiry City and made a large purchase, including pills, talismans, magic tools, and array plates that they might need, spending most of their savings in one go.

During that time, I also met Senior Brother Liu.

Since Brother Liu stopped cultivating, his lifespan has been rapidly depleted. Already nearing the end of his lifespan, he has transformed from a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties into an elderly man with a full head of white hair in just three years.

He hunched over, like an ordinary old man. His eyes, which used to be impatient as if they were always in a hurry, now looked weathered yet tolerant. Facing Luo Qingcheng, the culprit who could be said to have ruined his path to immortality, he still did not show any other expression.

He watched the two leave, leaving him behind all alone.

Luo Qingcheng couldn't help but turn around; the shop entrance was empty.

"We'll give you a discount if we buy a lot—girl, what are you looking at?"

Hu Muyu turned around, but saw nothing.

"No, Senior Sister, let's go." Luo Qingcheng jogged a few steps to catch up and smiled.

Hu Muyu didn't mind and continued to talk enthusiastically to Luo Qingcheng about the Morning Flower and Bird Hairpin that she had been reluctant to buy before but finally managed to get because of the discount.

Luo Qingcheng didn't find her chatter annoying, and listened carefully, occasionally agreeing with her. Only when Hu Muyu had finished talking did she casually ask, "Senior sister, are the inner sect assessments the same for everyone in the sect?"

"Oh? No, I heard that they are randomly selected from the Heavenly-level missions of the Bounty Hall."

"A Heaven-level mission?" Luo Qingcheng was shocked.

These are all the highest-level missions from the Bounty Hall, no wonder so many outer disciples just give up.

"Yeah, but overall it depends on luck. Some Heavenly-level missions are quite easy. Speaking of which, what mission did you get, girl?"

Luo Qingcheng took out the jade tablet that recorded the mission and read it word by word: "Go to the illusion in the sea and obtain the red pearl given by the Sea God's true heart."

Hu Muyu smiled, "That's quite a coincidence. My mission is to go to the Illusionary Realm in the Sea to obtain the blue pearl that the Sea Queen sincerely bestowed upon me."

"Since we're heading to the same destination, we don't need to separate along the way."

Luo Qingcheng nodded happily. This was certainly good news for her as well. She was completely unfamiliar with the cultivation world. Having an experienced senior sister with her would save her a lot of energy, not to mention anything else, just finding the way would be much easier.

“A fellow disciple of mine had planned to take the inner sect assessment, which was also related to the Illusionary Realm in the Sea. Although she didn’t succeed, she told me all the information about the Illusionary Realm in the Sea.”
