My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 948 - 927: She’s Still That Sly Evil God

As soon as Black Impermanence left, Wei Xie frowned and looked at Qin Liuxi.

"Do you really believe that nonsense about otherworld souls?"

"Of course, why not?" Qin Liuxi curled her lips: "In the past, there was Lan You, and now there’s another. Even I came from another world."

Wei Xie’s eyes narrowed: "You?"

"Even that bear Hei Sha knows," Qin Liuxi looked in the direction where Black Impermanence disappeared, and said, "This space has loopholes."

Wei Xie asked, "What is the otherworld like?"

Qin Liuxi was silent, a memory flashed through her mind, but it passed too quickly for her to grasp, so she shook her head and said, "I don’t remember."

Her mind was full of memories, but none of them were clear.

"Is it okay to let the Nascent Soul go?" Wei Xie felt a bit regretful and annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would have taken the chance himself.

"Who knows? How life turns out depends on individual destiny." Qin Liuxi thought of the Nascent Soul’s nature and smiled: "She’s an inherently optimistic person. Such a person will thrive anywhere."

What she didn’t know was that the Nascent Soul was cursing her as a fraud a thousand times over from the very start in another world!

"Anyway, I find it odd, all this talk about high-level Taoist soul breath blessings. It feels like there’s a trap here," Wei Xie still felt something was off.

Qin Liuxi lowered her eyes and murmured, "Maybe they’re afraid I’ll die out completely!"

Wei Xie’s heart skipped a beat.

Qin Liuxi didn’t continue this conversation and said, "You should consider cultivating the Ghost Path."

Wei Xie: "?"

Qin Liuxi said, "Being a Ghost Cultivator, if you achieve enlightenment, you might get a respectable position as a ghost god in the underworld. Reincarnation is just that."

The tone carried a hint of wistfulness.

"We’ll see!" Wei Xie shrugged. After all, he was alone, with no attachments.

...

Bringing Teng Zhao back to the Qin Mansion, they saw Qi Huang sitting in the courtyard, holding an embroidery frame and lost in thought. Upon hearing the commotion, she turned her head, and her eyes lit up when she saw Qin Liuxi.

"Master, you’re back."

Qin Liuxi walked over and clicked her tongue: "You better stop messing around with that silk cloth. You’re poking here and there, I feel sorry for it."

This teasing tone made Qi Huang smile with relief. Glancing down at her messily embroidered frame, her face flushed, she hurriedly tossed it into the sewing basket.

"You’ve been out for a long time this time. You’ve lost weight. I’ll make some soup for you." Suddenly remembering that Old Mrs. Qin had passed not long ago, and they were still in mourning, she added, "A vegetarian soup?"

"As you wish." Qin Liuxi tossed her bag over her shoulder and said, "I’m going to the Medicine House."

Qi Huang gleefully went off.

In the Medicine House, Qin Liuxi placed the last medicinal herb on the shelf, showing a hint of a joyful smile. Finally, the collection was complete.

"Are you preparing to make elixirs for the Grandmaster?" Teng Zhao looked at the shelf filled with rare medicinal herbs, thinking that just one of them would have people fighting over it.

Qin Liuxi nodded: "If I’m lucky, one furnace can produce three elixirs, and I’ll save one for you. Cultivate diligently."

Teng Zhao frowned and asked, "Does Foundation Establishment cultivation require elixir assistance?"

"Of course not. For those with profound Taoist skills, to achieve Foundation Establishment, it’s enough to cultivate perfectly and withstand the Heavenly Tribulation. However, in this era of scarce Spiritual Energy, having elixirs is a safer path. After all, a mortal body withstanding the Heavenly Tribulation is not easy. But it is a challenge you must face. It tests what you have cultivated and understood. So, don’t rush. Your foundation in Taoism must be solid. Only when these roots are firm can they support your cultivation. Without that, even if you leap to the heavens in one step, without a solid foundation, you’ll just collapse quickly."

"Disciple understands."

Qin Liuxi rubbed his head: "Don’t think you’re useless just because you couldn’t protect Wang Chuan. You’re still young and have only been cultivating for three years. With your current achievements, you are already a gifted individual. As long as you hold on to your Dao Heart and cultivate diligently, given time, you will become a high-level Taoist. As for Wang Chuan, everyone has their own destiny. Don’t let her become your Heart Demon."

Teng Zhao’s expression became solemn.

The master and disciple duo left the Medicine House, and Qi Huang came over with hot water to assist Qin Liuxi in washing up.

Teng Zhao returned to his room to meditate and practice.

A strange fragrance wafted from behind.

Qin Liuxi turned around and saw the Little Ginseng Spirit with its head full of red fruits clinging to the doorframe, sneaking peeks at her. When it saw her looking over, it shrank back, then peeked out again.

What a surprise, Qin Liuxi didn’t come over to pluck its red fruits.

Too unusual!

Could it be she’s still upset over Wang Chuan’s disappearance?

The Little Ginseng Spirit thought of the little girl it couldn’t find and its fruit stalks drooped down, feeling a bit lost.

It plucked two fruits, walked up to Qin Liuxi, and offered them: "Here, eat these. Don’t be sad, you’ll find her one day."

Qi Huang was organizing Qin Liuxi’s clothes, and paused at these words.

Qin Liuxi raised her eyebrows, took the two fruits: "Your head is full of red fruits, and you give me just two? Looks like I need to plant other Spirit Plants in your Spirit Gathering Array, ones with a conscience."

The Little Ginseng Spirit shivered and quickly offered a few more ginseng whiskers: "These are what I’ve shed recently."

Qin Liuxi snorted softly, looking satisfied that it understood the situation.

"What other Spirit Plant can compare to me? We’ve been together for two years, nothing else lower-tier can compare, right?" The Little Ginseng Spirit said ingratiatingly.

Qin Liuxi saw its fruits turning a deep purple and sensed a flow of auspicious energy. Pressing her hand on its head, she quickly made a calculation with her other hand, and said, "Your chance for Transformation is near."

The Little Ginseng Spirit was stunned, then overjoyed: "Really?"

Qin Liuxi nodded: "The next few days will have a full moon. Go to the cliff top behind Qingping Temple and absorb more Moonlight. In three days, I’ll help you achieve Enlightenment."

With that, the Little Ginseng Spirit became so happy it turned completely red, with Spiritual Energy overflowing.

"Don’t be too exuberant; overflowing Spiritual Energy can attract unwanted attention. I’ll have Hei Sha accompany you to cultivate for a few days." Qin Liuxi subdued the energy and glared at it.

The more crucial the time, the more Spiritual Energy the Moonlight provides. At such times, it might draw attention from evil spirits or cultivators, and with its abilities, even if it could escape, it would likely suffer losses.

After a thousand years of cultivation, it wouldn’t do to fall short at the final step.

Feeling deeply touched, the Little Ginseng Spirit’s eyes welled up with tears. I misunderstood her; she really is a good person!

"Since you’re about to Transform, you don’t need these fruits anymore. I’ll keep them safe for you, lest they get lost." Qin Liuxi swept a hand over its head.

Without a trace, not a single fruit was left, not even a drop!

The Little Ginseng Spirit: "!"

Aww, all my gratitude was for nothing, she’s still that sneaky Evil God!

The Little Ginseng Spirit ran off crying, afraid even its ginseng whiskers wouldn’t be safe if it stayed any longer!

Sneer.

Qi Huang laughed and chided: "Why tease it?"

"What do you mean? I’m just collecting an advance fee. Enlightenment doesn’t come without Spiritual Power and merit," Qin Liuxi snorted, retrieved a Jade Box, stored the ginseng fruits and whiskers, folded a Paper Crane, performed a spell to find Hei Sha, and then asked her: "Nothing happened in the mansion while I was gone, right?"
