Currently, it is the sixth incarnation that my mother-in-law has begun. She is still a newborn baby, having been in her mother's womb...

She was framed by her other concubines and was poisoned in the womb. Although she was detoxified in time, it still affected her constitution, and she was very weak after birth.

Fortunately, although it was a girl, her family loved her dearly and hired a renowned doctor to treat her. Unfortunately, this weak fetus was difficult to cure completely.

She can only be carefully cared for; in other words, my mother-in-law will basically be a sickly beauty who's constantly taking medicine for the rest of her life...

The scene froze. No one inside said anything in response to Tang Xinyan's silence, until Tang Xinyan came to her senses and asked:

Can I ask a few questions?

"of course."

The response from behind the screen was very accommodating:

"As a bonus of the deal, we can tell you your mother-in-law's current location for free. If you want to know anything else, you will have to pay a corresponding fee according to the level of secrecy of the question."

Tang Xinyan: "........"

Although speechless, I could understand since they were in the business of buying and selling information, so I asked:

“I’ve observed that in my mother-in-law’s later lives, she seemed to be born into a higher social class in each of them. I know this is because she accumulated good karma in each of her lifetimes.”

Logically, shouldn't things get better as time goes on? But why did my mother-in-law's later experiences seem less smooth? She either suffered heartbreak or didn't die peacefully in her old age.

The person inside seemed to have anticipated her question and answered without hesitation:

“Good fortune only determines the general direction of her destiny, but it does not mean that she has never made a mistake. Whether it is emotional trauma or illness, there is cause and effect.”

Tang Xinyan had actually had this suspicion in her heart, and now that it was confirmed, she understood and said:

"So... is the mother-in-law's poor health in this life related to the misfortunes she indirectly caused to her family in her previous life?"

"No, those people have their own destinies. It was her unintentional act that dragged innocent people into it and changed their fates."

Sensing that the other party had left it at that, Tang Xinyan didn't press further, but instead asked the crucial question:

"Then, if I cure my mother-in-law's illness, would that be considered disturbing her life?"

“She found you by chance and raised you, so she was indeed kind to you. It’s perfectly reasonable for you to repay her kindness. Her illness and weakness are already a consequence, and that doesn’t matter. But after that, don’t interfere too much.”

"clear."

Tang Xinyan naturally wouldn't be ungrateful for the kind reminder, especially since she wasn't the original owner of this body and didn't have much extra affection for her mother-in-law.

Having considered all other issues, Tang Xinyan paid the remaining balance, noted her mother-in-law's current location, and went straight back to the inn, preparing for a good night's rest before beginning her training the next day.

********

The following day, Tang Xinyan checked out of her hotel room, disguised herself as a man, and left Fengji City to train at the Evil Spirit Valley she had heard about.

It is said that even the eighteen levels of hell are not enough to eliminate the evil deep in the souls of some vicious villains.

Furthermore, these evil spirits and ghost cultivators all possess a certain level of cultivation; if they were allowed to return to the "mortal realm," they would undoubtedly disrupt its order.

Therefore, the Valley of Evil Spirits came into being in the underworld, a place specifically for imprisoning evil spirits and ghost cultivators. Those who were judged to be evil spirits and ghost cultivators would automatically go to the Valley of Evil Spirits.

Naturally, keeping them imprisoned for too long could easily lead to problems, so the "balance" of the underworld transformed Evil Spirit Valley into a training ground.

By sending hints to the ghost cultivators to go on their training journey, the ghost cultivators' levels can be improved, and the balance of the Evil Spirit Valley can be maintained.

After leaving the city, following the route she had inquired about, Tang Xinyan arrived outside the Valley of Evil Spirits after half a day of teleportation.

The entire Valley of Evil Spirits was shrouded in a huge black barrier. Looking from the outside in, one could vaguely see dense yin energy churning inside, and evil spirits wandering about everywhere.

Tang Xinyan warily surveyed her surroundings. After summoning purple lightning, she slowly entered the barrier. The evil spirits that had been drifting aimlessly inside quickly attacked Tang Xinyan upon discovering her.

Tang Xinyan knew that the evil spirits in Evil Spirit Valley had higher cultivation levels the deeper one went in. She didn't plan to deal with these small fry on the outer layer; she would leave them to the low-level ghost cultivators to practice on.

Therefore, Tang Xinyan directly released the pressure of a high-level ghost cultivator. The evil spirits that rushed towards her scattered and fled the moment they felt the pressure.

Upon seeing this, the evil spirits that surged forward also fled far away. Tang Xinyan also noticed that there were several people fighting with the evil spirits in the distance.

Tang Xinyan's appearance had initially relieved some of the pressure on the group, and they had just breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the evil spirits surge back, seemingly even more than before.

Seeing this, Tang Xinyan originally wanted to lend a hand, since her sudden appearance had disrupted the previous balance, and these people had also been implicated by her.

However, just as she dealt with the slowest group to escape, she saw the man in the middle, presumably the leader, quickly give a wink to the others.

Seeing this, the others nodded slightly, then retreated while fighting, heading straight towards Tang Xinyan. Tang Xinyan sneered inwardly, her earlier apology instantly vanishing.

She intervened because she had principles and didn't want to involve innocent people, but that didn't mean she would let herself be manipulated. If those people hadn't made a move, she would have helped them stabilize the situation before leaving.

But he shouldn't have harbored any intention to take advantage of them. Just look at the calculating look in his eyes; it truly disgusted her. Tang Xinyan couldn't help but roll her eyes and deliberately teleported away just as the group was getting close.

Anyway, the number of people she killed was more than enough to offset the extras. As for the protection the other party wanted, sorry, she wasn't stupid, and she wasn't that kind.

Tang Xinyan's sudden disappearance left the approaching group dumbfounded. When they realized they had not only been exposed but also tricked, they cursed angrily and had no choice but to leave Evil Spirit Valley.

Knowing that many people come to Evil Spirit Valley for training, Tang Xinyan, to avoid the situation just now, directly became invisible, half-walking and half-teleporting, and went straight to the inner perimeter of Evil Spirit Valley.

Along the way, although she didn't stop much, she basically got a clear understanding of the evil spirits and ghost cultivators in Evil Spirit Valley. The evil spirits on the outer perimeter not only had low cultivation levels, but their consciousness was also more instinctive. They not only wandered around the outer perimeter at all times, but also attacked any living thing they saw.

The deeper one goes, the more solid the evil spirits become, and the more their minds and consciousness lean towards "evil." They not only develop a sense of territory but also use schemes to capture and hunt down those who come here for training.

Furthermore, Tang Xinyan had observed the area along the way and found that besides the dense yin energy, there wasn't a single blade of grass in Evil Spirit Valley; it was truly a place purely for "fighting" and cultivation...
