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

Ge Hongtian nodded: "Yes, if you're not done yet, let's settle this properly. Junior Sister Zhong saved us, and we used up several healing pills, blood-replenishing pills, and spirit-replenishing pills. Coward, you ran away after hurting people."

Ye Mingyang sighed and cupped his hands in greeting to the two of them: "Senior Brother Ge, Junior Sister Zhong, we'll be leaving now."

After saying that, he fed Feng Haixi a healing pill, supported him with his spiritual power, and left with several Lingyun Sect disciples.

Let the Feng family handle Feng Haixi's matter. He should just tell the truth when he gets back.

As for Hua Qinglian, who escaped, he really couldn't be bothered to chase after her.

Watching Ye Mingyang and the others leave, Ge Hongtian smiled and said, "Ye Mingyang is quite a smart man."

Zhong Lingxin nodded: "Cultivation is inseparable from human relationships and worldly affairs. If he had been in charge, this incident wouldn't have happened. It's a pity about the Feng family."

Ge Hongtian glanced at Zhong Lingxin and said, "You need to be careful. The Feng family is not easy to deal with. I heard that Feng Haixi is extremely favored by one of their old men, who dotes on him like he's the apple of his eye."

Zhong Lingxin laughed and said, "I've offended the Feng family more than once. One more or one less doesn't matter! As long as they don't dare to kill me openly, let them try their underhanded methods!"

Ge Hongtian uttered two words: "Qu Xin!"

Zhong Lingxin nodded: "Yes, it's her! She's crazy. She came to our Qingyun Sect and has been causing trouble for me since the first day she entered the sect. I still don't understand what she's thinking. Can't she just focus on cultivating? Why does she have to cause trouble?"

Ge Hongtian laughed and said, "Perhaps she doesn't want to stay in Lingyun Sect and wants to avoid the Feng family. After all, her status is quite awkward. I heard one of your famous sayings, that her mother is a mount."

Zhong Lingxin chuckled: "I was young and didn't know any better. I just listened to the storyteller. I believed what he said."

Ge Hongtian burst out laughing: "Junior Sister Zhong, you have no idea, ever since you said that, our Immortal Spirit Continent has a unified name for women who become mistresses: mounts! That storyteller is too talented, haha."

Zhan Heng and his group flew up, shouting, "We're rich! We're rich! Two more places have sprouted Green Rain Flowers, and we've picked them all. It's so good to come with you guys. In previous years, we could only pick a few flowers even when we were picking them and picking the green silk at the same time."

The group divided the picked green rain flowers equally on the mountaintop, with each person receiving dozens of flowers.

Ming Jingchen asked, "Who among you is selling? My Ming family will buy them at market price, not a single spirit stone less."

Everyone shook their heads.

The Azure Rain Flower is an essential spiritual herb for refining a Grade Three Spirit-Nourishing Pill. It is extremely delicate and difficult to harvest, and even more difficult to refine. If it cannot be refined into a pill, chewing it is still very beneficial to one's spiritual sense when urgently needed. Everyone wanted to keep it for themselves.

Besides, it's not like we have nothing better to do than run to the Mangyuan Mountains every year. We harvest once and keep the harvest for many years to come.

Zhong Lingxin wanted to introduce her family to Ming Jingchen, but after thinking about it, she swallowed her words.

None of the Zhong family members have even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so let's just forget about it and talk about it later.

Amidst laughter and conversation, the group left the Mangyuan Mountains and bid each other farewell with clasped hands.

Zhong Lingxin and Uncle Xuan Yuan headed to the next city.

Along the way, Uncle Xuan Yuan served as Zhong Lingxin's sparring partner, pointing out the shortcomings in her use of spiritual power during her battles against Feng Haixi. In particular, her self-created "Sky-Piercing Cannon" was powerful and had a strong punch, but it also left her vulnerable. Against a master, she would only be beaten.

Zhong Lingxin was repeatedly thrown far away by Xuan Yuan, landing with a grimacing expression and feeling dizzy.

Fortunately, Zhong Lingxin was highly perceptive and made improvements each time, finally managing to deliver a powerful punch while protecting her vulnerable spot.

This also became her signature physical cultivation technique; when encountering enemies, she could always strike them with a single punch, leaving them terrified.

For a long time, Zhong Lingxin's phoenix zither remained unknown.

Qu Xin almost thought her memory was wrong.

Uncle Xuan Yuan led Zhong Lingxin on a journey of training, and one day they arrived at a small town called Xiajiang.

The small town is nestled among mountains, with a river called Xiajiang flowing through it, hence the name Xiajiang City.

At this time, the city of Xiajiang is entering the transition from spring to summer, and the continuous heavy rains have caused the river to swell.

The Three Gorges are home to many aquatic monsters, among which the Three Gorges Fish, a specialty of the Three Gorges, is the most famous.

The Gorge River Fish is a second-tier social monster. One advantage it has is that its flesh is delicate and contains abundant yet gentle spiritual energy, making it a major specialty of Gorge River City.

Uncle Xuanyuan visited Xiajiang City many years ago and has never forgotten the fish from Xiajiang.

Since we were passing by, we naturally had to bring Zhong Lingxin to try it, and also bring a few back to have with our drinks.

As the two entered the city, they heard the rushing sound of the river. In the distance, they saw cultivators standing on the banks of the gorge, wielding harpoons and fighting with the fish in the gorge.

Even more cultivators from all over the country came to see the fish, some flying in the air, others standing on their swords, all eyeing the large fish in the middle of the river.

Uncle Xuanyuan told Zhong Lingxin, "Xiajiang City is built against the mountain. There is a magic crystal mine upstream. If cultivators use their divine sense to cover the river surface for a long time, they will feel dizzy. So these cultivators only dare to use their divine sense to check for a short while. Most of the time, they have to look at the white streaks that come out of the waves with their eyes."

Seeing Zhong Lingxin's eagerness, Uncle Xuanyuan reminded her, "Don't underestimate the fish in the gorge. There are so many of them. If you try to catch them with a net, a large group of fish will bite your net and carry you down with the current. Did you see those cultivators with spears? They don't dare to spear a large group of fish, for fear that a large group of fish will splash and knock them down."

Zhong Lingxin nodded. Second-tier demonic beasts have already developed intelligence, so of course they won't be killed by cultivators so easily.

The two found a hotel to stay in.

Following the waiter's directions, he went to the largest harpoon shop in Xiajiang City and bought two harpoons.

Uncle Xuanyuan bought another small fishing net, which was only two square meters in size.

This is prepared by Xiajiang City specifically for cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

Nascent Soul cultivators are high-level and have abundant spiritual power; catching thirty or twenty fish in one net is no problem.

The harpoon shop said they had no more nets available, as the city lord's mansion stipulated that larger nets could not be sold.

The notice from the city lord's mansion stated that the fish production in the gorge is limited and overfishing is prohibited; even the nets they sell must have large mesh.

Zhong Lingxin burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Fishing is restricted everywhere.

Zhong Lingxin took the fishing net and, following the shopkeeper's instructions, learned how to cast it.

By accident, the net was cast crooked and caught a female nun who had just entered the shop.

Zhong Lingxin suppressed a laugh, hurriedly put away the net, and kept apologizing to the female cultivator who had entered the shop.

The female cultivator who entered the shop never expected that entering a harpoon shop would lead to her being caught in a net like a fish.

Her face turned red with anger.

Seeing Zhong Lingxin apologizing repeatedly, he didn't say much and just kept a dark face and remained silent.
