Oh no, I accidentally cultivated three spiritual roots and became an empress!

Perhaps Zhong Lingxin stayed in the deep pool for too long, and most of the cultivators from the guild went to the grassland.

She walked around the edge of the grassland for three days, and could always see traces of the monks digging on the ground.

Since there was nothing left to dig, she simply treated it as a grassland tour, put away her jade hoe, and slowly walked forward.

Deep within the grassland, bursts of spiritual energy occasionally erupted.

That was the monks and the yellow lions in the heat of passion.

As night falls on the grassland, the moon shines brightly and the stars are few. A gentle breeze blows, and the dew on the grass sparkles like stars in the sky.

Zhong Lingxin was unconsciously drawn to the beautiful scenery and hummed "Night on the Prairie" softly.

The melodious singing sounded even more ethereal under the night sky, carried far and wide by the gentle breeze.

Under the moonlight, the little insects that were chirping all stopped chirping and listened quietly to the soft singing carried on the breeze.

A gentle breeze swirled around Zhong Lingxin.

The stars in the sky flickered, seemingly bowing low to the horizon.

Not far away, the sound of a piano rang out, echoing Zhong Lingxin's singing.

Zhong Lingxin's singing stopped.

The music stopped.

A clear voice chuckled softly, "Please don't take offense, the singing was just so beautiful that I couldn't help but play along."

Zhong Lingxin realized she had been careless, not even noticing someone had come beside her. She said calmly, "What refined taste; the music is even more beautiful."

Seeing that Zhong Lingxin was not offended, the clear voice turned out from under a big tree. It was a very handsome man with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a tall figure.

Zhong Lingxin's eyes narrowed.

She could neither discern the man's cultivation level nor sense his presence.

Fortunately, the man was extremely kind. He stopped three zhang away from Zhong Lingxin, cupped his hands slightly, and said, "My name is Tianyuan, and I am a few years older than you. I am honored to address you as Brother Tianyuan. May I ask your name, Sister?"

Zhong Lingxin's mind raced, and she immediately guessed that this person might be the spirit of the Tianyuan Secret Realm, who already knew that she was a female cultivator.

This is troublesome. We took away a beast and a fire from someone, both of which are from gods.

However, since Tianyuan didn't ask for it back, she wouldn't return it voluntarily.

She smiled and curtsied: "Brother Tianyuan not only plays the zither well, but also has excellent eyesight. Junior sister Zhong Lingxin greets Senior Brother Tianyuan."

Tianyuan chuckled: "On such a fine day, how can there be music without tea? Please, Junior Sister Lingxin."

After saying that, Tianyuan took out a tea set and, by the moonlight, began to boil water and brew tea.

In her previous life, Zhong Lingxin was extremely careful when drinking tea in order to protect her singing voice. She had specially studied the art of tea. When she saw Tianyuan's tea-brewing technique, she couldn't help but praise him: "Brother Tianyuan is a master. Very few people can control the temperature and pour the tea as precisely as Brother Tianyuan. He brews the tea when the flavor is just right."

Tianyuan served Zhong Lingxin a cup of tea, gestured for her to drink, then picked up his own cup, took a sip, leaned back comfortably in his chair, and sighed, "Judging from Junior Sister Lingxin's pure singing voice, I guessed she would appreciate good tea, and I was right. Please, Junior Sister Lingxin."

Zhong Lingxin also finished her tea in one gulp and leaned back lazily in her chair: "On such a fine night, drinking tea under the moon is one of life's greatest pleasures."

The two smiled at each other and drank another cup.

Zhong Lingxin raised her cup to the bright moon and said, "What a beautiful day! I raise my cup to invite the moon to sing with me."

After speaking, she clapped her hands and sang Su Shi's famous poem "Prelude to Water Melody": "When will the moon be clear and bright? With a cup of wine in hand, I ask the blue sky. I wonder what year it is tonight in the celestial palace... People have sorrow and joy, separation and reunion; the moon has its phases of waxing and waning, and this has been so since ancient times..."

Tian Yuan pondered the saying "Nothing is ever perfect," and couldn't help but laugh heartily. He raised his glass again and invited Zhong Lingxin: "Junior Sister Lingxin has a broad mind. As her brother, I wish you a speedy ascension. May the stars shine brightly within your grasp."

Zhong Lingxin raised her cup to Tian Yuan and drank the tea in it again.

She could clearly sense that Tianyuan seemed to have gained a more open-minded and heroic spirit since he arrived.

This is the best.

As long as others don't have any ill intentions towards her, she'll plant flowers rather than thorns.

As the moon passed its zenith, Tianyuan stood up, took out a jade box, and handed it to Zhong Lingxin: "With Junior Sister Lingxin's generosity, I feel much better."

These were left behind by the cultivators who entered the secret realm in previous years; they are of little use to me.

It's a small medicinal garden, about a thousand square meters. I planted some medicinal herbs there, and a little flower fairy takes care of it.

Junior Sister Lingxin's contracted beast and fire can sometimes go inside to relax.

We may never meet again, but I only hope that future cultivators will speak of my junior sister's ascension; hearing that would make me, as her brother, happy.

Zhong Lingxin was overjoyed and hurriedly found a few tea tree seeds and handed them to Tianyuan, thanking him and saying, "Thank you, Brother Tianyuan. I don't have anything good, just a few tea tree seeds. Originally, originally... it would be better if Brother Tianyuan grew tea leaves."

Tian Yuan was a little confused. What was Zhong Lingxin originally planning to do after all that?

He couldn't help but ask, "What was Junior Sister Lingxin originally going to do? If it's useful, I won't take what she loves away from you."

Zhong Lingxin blushed with embarrassment: "Lingxin is not as refined as her senior brother. She is greedy for food. She originally intended to use these tea seeds to make tea oil."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "Cooking with tea oil is especially fragrant. There are also tea trees and tea seeds planted on the back mountain of my sect."

Tianyuan couldn't help but burst into laughter again, and shoveled away the tea seeds: "Then I, your brother, will accept them without hesitation!"

After speaking, he stepped into the moonlight and slowly disappeared into the depths of the grassland.

Zhong Lingxin watched his retreating figure without saying a word for a long time.

It's like a dream, coming and going under the moonlight.

If she hadn't been holding a jade box in her hand, she would have doubted whether it was real.

What she didn't know was that Tianyuan had been lonely in the secret realm for too long, and in the past, it had even been interested in playing pranks on the cultivators who entered. In the last few thousand years, it had lost even that interest.

Zhong Lingxin sang a song under the moonlight, and the pure beauty in her voice attracted it.

It couldn't help but play the piano in harmony.

Zhong Lingxin noticed its dejection and advised it with the words "It is difficult to have everything in this world," which greatly relieved the depression in its heart.

It suddenly realized that as a spirit, it was far superior to cultivators who spent their days accumulating essence and refining qi through arduous cultivation.

Originally, given its indifference, the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm would have dissipated before long.

Now that it has the will to live again, it will naturally take good care of the Tianyuan Secret Realm and not let itself perish.

Zhong Lingxin's heartfelt gratitude to this small medicinal herb garden was its most sincere thanks to her.

The fighting on the grasslands intensified, with the enormous explosions sometimes shaking the entire grasslands.

Various competitions ensued.

Many cultivators like Zhong Lingxin, who hid on the edge of the grasslands and far from the battlefield, were also found by those who were plundering resources.

Inevitably, Zhong Lingxin was also surrounded by five smiling cultivators.

These five cultivators were clearly disguised, and they were disguised as cultivators from the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

When the five people surrounded Zhong Lingxin and called her "Senior Brother Wu" with smiles, Zhong Lingxin suddenly made her move.
