The Whole Village Thrives After Adopting a Lucky Girl

Chapter 543: Prequel Extra Eleven
 

Yingbao took the Exquisite Mirror, and as the mirror emitted a dazzling light, it instantly transported her inside the cave.

She looked around but didn’t find the God Scythe, so she asked the Spirit Sword, “Where is it?”

The magical weapons have a sense of each other, especially those that have developed spiritual intelligence; they ought to communicate with each other.

The Spirit Sword pointed towards a huge rock, “It’s right there.”

Yingbao walked over and placed her hand on the giant rock, sensing with her mind.

Indeed, a faint breath was transmitted, marking the presence of the God Scythe.

Yingbao did not rashly split the giant rock which was larger than a three-story building; instead, she took the whole piece into her Divine Mansion.

After collecting a few more items, she hastily used the Exquisite Mirror to leave Wuji Peak, and then Wuji Sect.

The Wuji Sect was too vast, and the Exquisite Mirror nearly exhausted its spiritual power to get Yingbao out, dimming immediately afterward.

Yingbao found a forest and with the Spirit Sword, dug a hole and quickly hid inside.

She then, holding the Spirit Sword, entered her Divine Mansion and approached the giant rock, striking it with all her might.

The rune on the rock flickered, all were suppressing the God Scythe. Struck by the attack, it emitted the sound of ringing metal, probably as a warning.

But this was Yingbao’s Divine Mansion, no matter how bright the rune or how loud the sound, no one would know.

Yingbao spent ten days and finally split the giant rock, revealing the God Scythe inside.

The God Scythe affectionately nuzzled its master, then suddenly turned and shattered the Spirit Sword.

Yingbao touched the blade and then opened the treasures she had collected from Xiao Mo, finding they were all high-quality Spirit Stones, along with many Elixirs and Magic Weapons.

The little turtle smiled and said, “With these items, you can cultivate up to the Mahayana Realm without any problems.”

Yingbao thought so too, hence from her cave found her original clothes and put them on. Then she cut half of her long hair and styled it in a man’s hairstyle.

Picking up the God Scythe, she said, “I want to go home first to check.”

It took her several years to return to Qinchuan County, only to find it had drastically changed.

The number of high-level cultivators walking on the streets had increased; they all were at least at the Core Formation Realm.

Yingbao concealed her cultivation base to appear at the Core Formation Realm and went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy some items.

As she reached the entrance, she encountered a brightly dressed young man, whose cultivation was probably at the Nascent Soul Realm.

As soon as he saw Yingbao, his gaze glued onto her. “Who are you?” he asked.

Yingbao glanced at him and walked straight into the Treasure Pavilion, asking to buy the best Spirit Boat available.

The items in the Treasure Pavilion had also increased considerably; they even displayed High-level Spirit Boats on the counter.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the end, Yingbao spent a hundred thousand Spirit Stones to buy a fast Spirit Boat, as well as a portable dimension house.

This portable dimension house contains a world of its own, equipped with defensive arrays and concealment arrays, making it an indispensable travel item and one she had long coveted but couldn’t afford before.

Now that her wish was fulfilled, Yingbao was very happy.

As she left the city and was about to start the Spirit Boat into the forest, suddenly someone came from behind and called out, “You are Yingbao, aren’t you?”

Yingbao slowly turned and quietly observed the newcomer.

The extravagantly dressed young man pretended to be calm, walking towards her while flicking his folding fan, “Don’t you recognize me?”

Yingbao certainly recognized him, but she remained silent.

The young man seemed a bit dejected and abruptly closed his fan, “I am your master, alright?”

Seeing that Yingbao still did not respond, he said again, “Hey! I am Wei Zhan, surely you must remember now.”

Yingbao nodded and asked, “Why are you following me?”

Wei Zhan paused, seemingly not expecting her to ask this; after hesitating for a moment, he said, “You are going to the Jiang Family Village, right? I happen to be going there too; we can go together.”

Yingbao thought for a moment, then finally nodded, “Alright.”

Thus, the two of them boarded the Spirit Boat and slowly flew towards the Jiang Family Village.

Wei Zhan kept looking at her, talking about the Jiang Family Village, “That land has been bought by my family. We also set up arrays; apart from the local people, no one from outside can enter.”

Yingbao regarded him, “Why do this?”

Wei Zhan scratched his head and spoke softly, “In these hundred years, the beast tide has been very fierce. If we don’t protect them, these mortals will hardly survive, so I set up the arrays to keep them completely safe.”

In reality, he was worried that if there were no mortals left in this place, Yingbao and her family would never return.

Yingbao gazed downward silently.

When the Spirit Boat reached the airspace above the Jiang Family Village, it was indeed protected by powerful arrays. Many people lived in the village, but none of her parents or other relatives were there.

Unable to determine if the inhabitants were descendants of the Jiang Family Village, she thought of visiting the small secret realm.

“We’ve arrived at the Jiang Family Village; you can get off now,” Yingbao said unceremoniously to Wei Zhan. “Also, I escaped from the Wuji Sect for your family’s safety, it’s best not to reveal any information about me to others.”

Wei Zhan felt wronged at first, but seeing her earnest demeanor, he could only nod and disembark.

She then turned around and came back, handing her a communication jade slip, “Keep this with you, and just call out to me if you need anything. I… I am your master, always on your side.”

Yingbao accepted the jade slip, thought for a moment, and gave Wei Zhan several ancient tomes on techniques: “These are books from the collection of the master of Wuji Sect, I give them to you.”

Wei Zhan was startled but accepted them happily, saying, “Thank you, Yingbao.”

…

Yingbao left Wei Zhan and flew back to the small sanctuary.

The sanctuary was vibrant with life, Uncle Jiang and Second Uncle Jiang were still alive, but they had aged significantly.

Several cousins had already become old men with white hair. Seeing Yingbao return, they were ecstatic beyond words, “Yingbao, you’re still alive?”

Yingbao nodded and inquired about the whereabouts of her parents and grandparents.

The eldest cousin said, “Grandparents passed away a few years ago, and Uncle Three and the younger cousins moved to another place to live but come back every year.”

“After our population here increased, many moved out of the small sanctuary to live in Jiang Family Village. The elderly remained here, enjoying their remaining years.”

“Since you left, Uncle Three, seeing that you hadn’t returned, went out to look for you for some time. Later, when he heard that you were taken by Wuji Sect, he even thought about going there, but the journey was just too far…”

Yingbao: “I know.”

Wuji Sect was more than ten thousand miles from Qinchuan County. As a mere mortal with neither money nor power, he would not have found anyone even if he had gone, and might never have returned.

Yingbao took out two bottles of life-extending elixirs and distributed them to Uncle Jiang and Second Uncle Jiang and the cousins, warning them not to reveal her whereabouts to outsiders. Then she turned around and left the sanctuary to look for her parents elsewhere.

The family of Jiang Sanlang was in another small sanctuary, a place unknown even to his brothers.

The place was planted with lots of spiritual grains and spiritual wheat, and various fruit trees and spiritual medicines.

Beyond that, there was also a flock of spiritual bees, gathering quite a bit of honey each spring.

When Yingbao appeared in front of the white-haired Jiang Sanlang and his wife, they were both stunned.

…

In the following hundred years, Yingbao traveled around with her parents and brother, seeking various spiritual medicines to extend their lives.

Of course, no medicine was more effective than the blood of a true dragon.

Because Wuji Sect had issued a warrant for her arrest, Yingbao had to ensure that her family never stayed in one place for more than six months, otherwise, they risked being discovered.

Jiang Sanlang and his wife, along with their two sons, didn’t find this tiresome but rather enjoyed this carefree lifestyle.

During the day, they sat in the spirit boat, sipping tea and admiring the scenery, and at night, they stayed in the Qiankun Pavilion to cook and rest.

Yingbao also found a secret method to open their meridians, initiating them into the path of immortality.

But Jiang Sanlang and his wife were too old; even after several decades of cultivation, they had only reached the third level of Qi training.

Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu fared slightly better, but their cultivation also stagnated after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage.

Yingbao was very anxious and wanted to find high-level spiritual medicines to enhance their cultivation bases, but those items were all heavenly treasures, not easily found.

Decades passed unnoticed.

One day, they arrived at a small city with a beautiful environment and plentiful high-level cultivators. Chun Niang decided they should settle here for a while.

After settling her family, Yingbao changed her appearance and went out to search for heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Unknown to her, while exploring a hidden sanctuary, she encountered people from the Chen Family and Xiao Family. Smelling the blood on her, they joined forces and came at her.

This time, the Xiao and Chen families gained no advantage, but Yingbao’s whereabouts were exposed.

To avoid implicating her parents and brothers, Yingbao led these pursuers in circles, killing many of them, but those chasing her became more and more numerous.

This time, nearly everyone in the fairy world came to hunt her, annoying her endlessly.

Some even claimed she possessed a rare treasure that granted immortality to whoever obtained it.

Yingbao knew this rumor was deliberately spread by the Chen Family to make her life difficult, as countless members of the Chen Family had died at her hands over the years.

When she was surrounded again, Yingbao had intended to use the Reincarnation Mirror to escape, but these people had taken her parents hostage and killed her two brothers.

Step by step, Yingbao walked into the Immortal Execution Array and plucked out her eyes: “If you want the treasure, come and get it.”

Her smile was devilish, “But you must return my parents and brothers first.” Since she and her family couldn’t escape, then everyone might as well perish together.

At the last moment, she had wanted to send her parents and brothers away, but it was too late.

Everything happened so hastily, just like her unanticipated birth.

That day, a generation’s witch was executed, but miles around were leveled, countless cultivators perished, including over ten Mahayana Realm cultivators.

In the desolate ruins, a young man holding a soul lamp cried out, “Yingbao, Yingbao, come back…”

But the surroundings were deathly silent, without even the sound of insects.

Wei Zhan looked around forlornly, his expression one of utter desolation.

This time, his little disciple was truly gone.
