After being universally criticized online, he cultivates immortality and farms to lead his motherlan
Chapter 243 A Serious Side Story
The boundless darkness and the chilling air pierced her breath like needles.
The girl lay on the ground, the bloodstains dried at the corners of her cracked mouth.
As she regained consciousness, she instinctively touched her abdomen.
Not long ago, this place was stabbed by the master.
It hurts.
Her spiritual root shattered inch by inch, eventually turning into a wisp of turbid energy that could not be gathered and dissipated from her dantian.
She lost her spiritual root and could no longer cultivate immortality.
It was only because her junior sister falsely accused her of poisoning him that her spiritual root was destroyed.
But she never did it!
She won't admit to things she didn't do.
[Congratulations, host, on successfully transmigrating to the modern era and binding yourself to the Entertainment Industry Comeback System. This system will do its utmost to help you improve your acting skills, audience popularity, and other aspects. We wish you a grand slam of awards soon!]
Ning Jianming felt as if a string of red words had popped up in front of her.
She abruptly closed her eyes, thinking it was a hallucination before she died, but when she opened them again, the string of red words was still there.
"Ok?"
She let out a question in anguish.
What's happening here?
The next second, the string of text disappeared again, and in its place came a string of new text.
[Host beginner skill extraction in progress]
[The host has been blessed with captivating singing skills. Congratulations! Your raspy voice and tone-deafness have been improved. You can now effortlessly hit a high note.]
Ning Jian stared at the string of incomprehensible words, feeling completely lost. It was probably just a hallucination before death, so she simply closed her eyes and stopped paying attention.
Until, a sound of footsteps grew closer and closer.
Ning Jian then opened her eyes and inevitably saw that the string of text had been updated again.
In the entertainment industry, being universally criticized online is an inevitable path for top female celebrities; even negative publicity is still publicity. Keep being stubborn and let the attention come even more fiercely.
[Task: Maintain a good attitude when faced with rumors; don't explain, don't clarify, just let it be.]
[Reward: Physical Enhancement.]
Ning Jian was able to completely ignore it, and her gaze fell on the people who came in from outside the door.
The fifth junior brother, who used to cling to her and call her "senior sister" all the time, now looked at her with disgust and said, "Do you know what you did wrong?"
Her master had asked her the same question a few days ago.
And her answer now remains the same as it was that day.
"What's wrong with me?"
The junior sister standing to the side said angrily, "You caused Second Senior Brother's spiritual root to be destroyed, and you still won't admit your mistake."
The fifth junior brother was stunned for a moment.
In the past, the eldest sister's voice was always aloof and full of coldness, like an emotionless block of ice.
Today, for no apparent reason, he sensed some emotion in what he heard, and a feeling of pity arose in him.
Is there really something hidden behind this?
But when he thought of his second senior brother's miserable state, he gritted his teeth and said, "Since you are unrepentant, then you shall continue to stay in this solitary confinement. Master has spoken, and we will not stop until you admit your mistake."
Ning Jian remained silent, a cold smile playing on his lips.
She already explained everything that needed to be explained a few days ago.
Those who believe in her will naturally believe.
What can she say to someone who doesn't believe her?
Ning Jian lay on the ground, no longer having the strength to argue with others.
She heard footsteps fading into the distance, and she opened her eyes in a daze, watching the back of her beloved fifth junior brother gradually disappear before her eyes, as if that familiar back was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
[The mission has been completed. 】
[To succeed in the entertainment industry, blindly dieting is a big no-no; having a healthy body is extremely important.]
[Rewards have been issued. The system has automatically identified the host's physique and the modification has begun.]
Ning Jian intended to continue ignoring it, but suddenly, a strange sensation surged through her body.
At first, the wound from a few days ago was still painful, but gradually the pain lessened until she could no longer feel any pain.
The destroyed spiritual root seemed to be reshaped in an instant.
Ning Jian was greatly alarmed.
With a slight movement of her fingertips, she was actually able to mobilize spiritual energy.
and……
Ning Jian stood up and carefully sensed his new spiritual root, which had actually reached the Immortal grade!
Soon after, more footsteps could be heard.
The person who came was the third junior brother. When he saw Ning Jian standing there, he was relieved to see that her injuries from the past few days had healed considerably.
"Senior Sister, Master sent me to take you in for questioning."
Ning nodded slightly and saw that the strange string of text had been updated again.
This time, she didn't ignore it, but began to examine it seriously.
As is widely known, in the entertainment industry, a good management company is crucial for an actor's development. However, every cloud has a silver lining; this company has an unhealthy culture, and after our investigation, it's not advisable to stay long.
[Task: Terminate your contract with your current company.]
[Prize: A natural, eco-friendly villa.]
Ning Jian looked at it very carefully, but still couldn't understand it.
But she understood the meaning of the phrase, "No need to linger."
It means she should leave the Lingxiao Sword Sect.
When Ning Jian came out of the confinement prison, he felt the changes brought about by his new spiritual root. Even though he had to start cultivating again, with a celestial-grade spiritual root, his cultivation speed was much faster than before when he was drawing qi into his body.
She followed behind her third junior brother, and soon they ran into her fifth junior brother and junior sister, who had also been to the solitary confinement prison.
The junior sister glanced at her and quickly asked, "Third senior brother, why did you bring her out?"
"Master asked me to take Senior Sister there."
The fifth junior brother scoffed, "You still call her senior sister? How dare she?"
Ning Jian's heart had been thoroughly broken over the past three years. Now, upon hearing this, she felt no emotion whatsoever.
She also understood that the Fifth Junior Brother and the Junior Sister's questioning earlier was actually their own idea.
Otherwise, the third junior brother would not have brought her out again in the name of their master.
The third junior brother simply said, "Fifth junior brother, please be careful with your words."
In his mind, even if the eldest sister made a mistake, she was probably only temporarily blinded, and her position was forever unshakable.
The fifth junior brother angrily flicked his sleeves and said, "I'm going to pay my respects to Master too, and see how she tries to argue this time."
Sword Peak.
"Disciple pays homage to Master."
Everyone bowed to Bai Wuji, the sect leader of the Lingxiao Sword Sect, who was seated on the throne.
Bai Wuji waved his hand and looked at Ning Jian, his most proud disciple. He never expected that in the past three years, her thoughts would become more and more vicious.
He sighed inwardly; after all, he was the disciple he had personally trained.
"Ning Jian, have you thought this through these past few days?"
Before Ning Jian could speak, the fifth junior brother hurriedly spoke up.
“Master, she is unrepentant and still refuses to admit her mistakes.”
Bai Wuji raised his eyes. "Oh?"
The junior sister also said, "Master, I heard it with my own ears. When the fifth senior brother asked the eldest senior sister, the eldest senior sister said, 'What wrong has she done? She not only caused the second senior brother's spiritual root to be completely destroyed, but she also refused to apologize and admit her mistake.'"
As she spoke, her voice trembled with tears.
Bai Wuji released a powerful aura, and didn't even hear Ning Jian utter a single word.
Ning Jian was so overwhelmed by that oppressive aura that she could hardly breathe. Her knees gradually buckled, and she collapsed to her knees with a thud.
The third junior brother said anxiously from the side, "Senior sister, just admit your mistake. If you admit your mistake, Master will not make things difficult for you anymore."
Then, he frantically pleaded with Bai Wuji, "Master, Senior Sister has lost her spiritual root and her body can't take it. Please let her go."
Ning Jian chuckled softly and said in a low voice, "I was wrong."
There were too many mistakes, far too many.
She had misplaced her sincerity, mistakenly regarding these junior brothers and sisters as her closest confidants, giving them everything without reservation.
She mistakenly believed that her master, with his clear eyes, would not be blinded.
She has always believed that what is fake cannot become real, and what is real cannot become fake.
It turns out that even if something is fake, it becomes real if others treat it as real.
Ning Jian looked around and then looked at everyone one by one.
Perhaps, she made a mistake in choosing the Lingxiao Sword Sect from the very beginning.
Ning Jian gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and shouted, "Master, your disciple Ning Jian knows he has made a mistake and is willing to leave the Lingxiao Sword Sect."
The third junior brother's face turned pale with shock.
"Senior Sister, you..."
He frowned deeply. If his senior sister left the sect, she would probably never have the chance to cultivate again in this lifetime.
It should be noted that apart from the Nine Aperture Returning to Nothingness Flower, which can help cultivators reshape their spiritual roots, only the Valley Master of the Myriad Medicine Valley, who is on good terms with the Lingxiao Sword Sect, has the opportunity to reshape their spiritual roots if he personally intervenes.
Bai Wuji was also surprised that Ning Jian would suggest leaving.
"you……"
On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with this eldest disciple, but on the other hand, he felt that the Lingxiao Sword Sect was not a place where one could come and go as one pleased.
However, he was ultimately made of flesh and blood, and the emotions he had accumulated over the years made it impossible for him to bring himself to be ruthless.
He waved his sleeve and said, "Very well, now that you have no spiritual roots, I will have your third junior brother send you back to Wufang City. From now on, you will have no further connection with the Lingxiao Sword Sect."
Ning Jianxin felt strange. She had clearly reshaped her immortal-grade spiritual root, yet her master had not noticed.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Ning Jian was quickly drawn to the strange red characters again.
[Congratulations, host, on successfully terminating your contract and escaping the gullible clutches of your talent agency.]
[Rewards for completing the mission will be distributed later.]
After leaving the Lingxiao Sword Sect, many onlookers made unpleasant gossips.
Ning Jian only said to his third junior brother beside him, "I can return by myself, you can stop here."
Third junior brother: "Eldest senior sister..."
"I am no longer the senior sister. Take care."
After saying that, Ning Jian left without looking back.
Only after completely leaving the territory of the Lingxiao Sword Sect did she activate her spiritual power, preparing to fly on her sword to return to Wufang City to see her family.
Suddenly, a pretty female voice rang out from behind.
"Master!"
Ning Jian stepped onto the sword, turned around, and saw a little girl, less than half her height, staring at her with bright eyes.
The next second, the little girl hugged her leg.
"Grandmaster, I've finally found you!"
Ning Jian: "You've got the wrong person."
“You’ve come to the right place, you are my grandmaster.” Without further ado, the little girl threw out a portrait. “Look, you look exactly like our grandmaster.”
Ning Jian was puzzled, when suddenly she saw that strange string of red characters reappear.
【Task rewards have been issued. 】
She looked at the little girl in front of her, who was just like that little radish head, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She muttered to herself, "Is this a reward?"
Two hours later, she looked at the dilapidated wooden gate of the sect and the small wooden house.
Hmm~ It seems she's starting to understand what's going on.
A log cabin is equivalent to an eco-friendly villa.
Although she didn't know what the word "villa" meant, she figured it probably referred to a place of residence.
Ning Jian thought that she had most likely obtained the opportunity that fell from the sky as described in the sketchbook, but her opportunity was rather strange.
-
Later, Ning Jian heard that in the sect competition, his second junior brother, who had reshaped his spiritual root, lost to a sword cultivator from an unknown small sect.
