Main Character:

Shen Yao

Since the founding of Qi State, through several emperors, the one most talked about is Cheng Ying Di, who successfully ascended the throne as an Imperial Clan Relative.

The emperor before Cheng Ying Di was Liang Xiao Di; although none of Liang Xiao Di's own offspring survived, he successfully reclaimed the Imperial Relatives' fiefdoms.

And Cheng Ying Di, who ascended after Liang Xiao Di's passing, not only developed and strengthened all of Qi State, but even annexed the many small countries on the borders.

Relying on the superior strains once presented by Cheng Ying Di's birth father, Qi State's population grew explosively; even though various natural disasters caused heavy losses, the numbers were later replenished.

Shen Yao left this world later than Qi Chen; she witnessed Qi State's industrial progress — though it could not compare to even one-tenth of modern times, it was still a major change.

Consciousness Space

"Confetti, congratulations congratulations, Host has achieved another brilliant result, truly worthy of the System's chosen one."

The System was excited beyond measure; a beautiful cloud drifted back and forth in the space.

Shen Yao's consciousness had just detached from the main storyline, her head still somewhat muddled, and seeing the System fluttering about in front of her being an eyesore, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and wave it away.

System: ……

The System was hurt; turns out a System like itself wasn't favored by its Host.

Shen Yao: ……

"Alright, stop fooling around, send the rewards down first, then let me catch my breath."

Already detached from the Task World, Shen Yao stretched out her hand and rubbed both temples.

Seeing this, the System no longer bantered with its own Host; "Rewards have been sent to Host's space, please check them yourself, Host."

Shen Yao eagerly opened her space and saw a pile of bottles and jars plus twelve small spaces of one cubic meter each.

The small spaces originally distributed in the Task World had already returned to their original owner; when Shen Yao then arranged the twelve newly obtained small spaces in order, her space grew larger by a fair margin.

"The ones distributed earlier have already returned? I only just detached from the Task World, right?"

Qi Haochen and the other children hadn't died; she thought the return to original owner would take a period of time.

The System explained, "Once Host detaches from the Task World, the corresponding time flow speed becomes controllable.

As long as you notify the World Consciousness, you can take them out from a certain future moment."

Because the Task World is controlled by the World Consciousness, after Host leaves time and space, all affairs of the Task World have nothing to do with Host.

The space is originally Host's item; when Host leaves it naturally follows along.

As for the several Owners they temporarily depend on, "death of body and Dao, the space will not be inherited."

Even if Shen Cheng and the others have descendants, ultimately their blood connection to Shen Yao is not deep.

Caring for her own few cubs is Shen Yao's mission; the rest has nothing to do with Shen Yao.

"I see; can the next Task Worlds be operated the same way?"

At least it saves a lot of trouble, and also lets Shen Yao save some mental effort. You know, considering everything for others is exhausting; Shen Yao doesn't like being a nanny, so why work hard when she can take it easy? She doesn't like suffering.

The System spoke vaguely, "Depends on the situation; not all can go as Host wishes.

Like the Storage Bags Host placed in the space — without Spiritual Energy, Host cannot activate them."

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao gave the System a sidelong glance, "Saying so much — isn't it just that you're reluctant? Could it be doing these things privately consumes a lot of your resources?"

Haven't forgotten the System is a grind-obsessed workaholic; always saying she has strong ambition, but actually it also likes only taking in and never giving out, pinching the good things it gets in its hand.

"That's natural; all actions outside normal operation range will be judged as violations."

It's just that violations have degrees; last world Host had it rough, and the System gained many benefits, so it was willing to go against the wind and do things this once.

Now if Shen Yao wants the same operation again, at minimum the System must earn more benefits.

The just-finished ancient natural disaster world — though they reaped a fair amount through a whole set of operations, in the end it still cannot compare to the modern strange phenomenon world.

Therefore, the System isn't willing to promise anything, afraid of losing out.

Shen Yao buried her head organizing the various pills in the space, and also asked about the situation after she left.

Learning that all was well in Qi State, and thriving under Qi Haochen's governance, Shen Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll rest for a while; once I recover, continue to the next mission."

As for the Task World and such, Shen Yao didn't ask, because as early as the last Task World, this big-mouthed System couldn't hold it in and blurted it out.

Shen Yao has no opinion on whether it's cultivation or not; anyway, as long as she lives long, she can go to any world.

The ever-increasing trump cards in the space are the backing that allows Shen Yao to survive properly.

Since it's so, why go to extra trouble? When the cart reaches the mountain there will be a road; when the boat reaches the bridge it will naturally go straight.

……

Shen Yao's current body is no longer considered human, and has no normal eating and drinking requirements.

It's just that the pressure of completing a mission is not small; Shen Yao isn't an iron robot, she needs to calm her mood and sort out complex thoughts.

Only after her mood was regulated did Shen Yao take out some items from the Storage Bag and place them in the space as backups, then call out the System and have it start the mission transmission.

The System asked, "Host doesn't want to learn more about the Task World's situation?"

Ancient world, and related to cultivators — wow, sounds dangerous just hearing it.

Shen Yao: ……

"You yourself said it's related to cultivators; the Storage Bag can be opened, what do I have to fear?"

It can be said that as long as Spiritual Energy exists, all the trump cards on her can be used.

If there's still something she can't handle, then she can only accept fate and continue to the next one.

System: That makes perfect sense; it couldn't refute it.

The System shut up promptly, chose to transmit, and didn't forget to remind the Host to be careful.

……

Indeed she should be careful; unlike previous transmissions when her body felt unwell, this time Shen Yao only felt her whole body aching fiercely.

It was the kind of pain that sears into the bones, as if every inch of skin and flesh were separating, yet she still possessed a consciousness that was not weak.

"System, quickly take out the pills."

Without hesitation, she first summoned the System in her mind to do work for her.

Shen Yao didn't idle either; she directly grabbed a handful of pills from her space and stuffed them into her mouth in one go.

In a fleeting glance, Shen Yao knew this body of hers had Spiritual Energy coiling around it — she was a cultivator — so she immediately stopped worrying that eating too many pills would burst her body.

But just swallowing them like this wasn't right either; her body actually showed no improvement, still hurting just as much as it should.

Shen Yao: ……

"Host, this body's dantian is damaged; quickly take the Spirit-Shaping Flower."

As the System spoke, two pale-colored flowers were seen floating.

Shen Yao opened her mouth and swallowed them, then turned her head and spat out a mouthful of congested blood.

"What on earth happened? It even required the Spirit-Shaping Flower — two blossoms at once."

You must know that back in the Cultivation World, she only obtained a single Spirit-Shaping Flower from Fu Zening's hands after ascending to the Xuanwei Realm.

This kind of spirit flower, legend says, has the wondrous use of reshaping spiritual roots.

She had gone through so many worlds and never bore to use it; now not only did she use it, she even had to throw in an extra one — she simply didn't know how to complain.

"So this is the Mission World you spoke of?" The System has a knack for scamming.

Feeling her body's interior slowly recovering, Shen Yao propped herself on the ground and slowly sat up.

With her life no longer in danger, Shen Yao finally had the mood to examine her current environment. Unlike her many previous transmigrations, this time Shen Yao was in the suburbs.

Oh, that's not quite right either, because the place she lay was at the foot of a mountain, and not far around was a well-maintained Official Road, so it couldn't really be called a wild ridge.

"System, the original owner's memories."

Shen Yao rubbed her eyebrows, her face full of weariness; her mood had swung wildly, and she could barely hold on.

The System sent the packaged memories into Shen Yao's mind, while simultaneously activating its monitoring function to monitor the entire five-li radius in all directions without blind spots.

Er, er, it's not that the System didn't want to expand the range; it simply lacked the power despite the will.

Shen Yao didn't know these things; she was receiving the original owner's life memories.

Once digestion was complete, Shen Yao also knew why she had appeared at the mountain foot outside the city.

Turns out she fell from the mountain, and had also taken a one-way Transmission Array, arriving from the Cultivation World to the Mortal World.

And the place she was in was precisely a region of the Mortal World.

As for how she came over, it was the Cultivation World's common killing for treasure; she was pursued after acting in a Secret Realm, and at the critical moment accidentally triggered a Transmission Array — great fortune, great life, she survived, but pity her dantian was destroyed and her cultivation fell from Foundation Establishment to Qi Refining.

Before Shen Yao transmigrated in, this body's condition was already extremely poor.

It was still the two Spirit-Shaping Flowers that saved a life, but the Spirit-Shaping Flower can only preserve a shattered dantian, not restore it to its original state.

Back in the Cultivation World, Fu Hengyan couldn't advance because his Golden Core shattered, and only upon reaching the Xuanwei Realm did he find a few useful spiritual herbs.

Shen Yao's current situation is more severe than Fu Hengyan's; her entire dantian is destroyed.

Like a wooden bucket for holding water, other people merely have cracks around the bucket or a hole broken in it, which can be made to look usable by pouring in water or patching it.

Shen Yao's is the bucket bottom completely fallen off; water comes in and goes out, unable to retain a single drop.

Ask yourself: a cultivator without a dantian to cultivate — what cultivation is there to play at?

Now two Spirit-Shaping Flowers have merely pasted a temporary protective film over the bucket bottom; this film is rather fragile and holds little water.

For Shen Yao to rely on Spirit-Shaping Flowers to break through is hard beyond measure; at best she can only recover to her original cultivation.

"One morning back to liberation — moreover the Mortal World's Spiritual Energy is negligible."

She still wants to cultivate to Foundation Establishment with this wrecked body? Finding a brat with spiritual roots — even his father wouldn't be easy to find.

"Host, this world is undergoing Spiritual Qi Revival, you"

The System hadn't finished speaking when it was interrupted by the sharp-nerved Shen Yao.

"You wait a moment, what do you mean Spiritual Qi Revival? Don't tell me it's similar to the previous Mission World," messing around for half a day still needing her to birth a mobile Spirit Vein, what revival indeed.

The System was embarrassed; it explained it wasn't like that — this world's Spiritual Qi Revival is real revival; in twenty years at most, the one-way Transmission Array to the Cultivation World can be reopened.

"That this body of the Host could transmit over is thanks to this world's Spiritual Energy existing.

Once Spiritual Energy concentration reaches a certain degree, this world will slowly evolve, and those Transmission Arrays hidden away long ago will also open."

Speaking to this point, the System feared the Host wouldn't understand, and explained this Mortal World's situation again.

Simply put, it once experienced the process of Spiritual Energy going from existence to non-existence.

Right now Spiritual Qi Revival is merely another cycle; as for the future trend, it all depends on fortune.

……

On the Official Road, a carriage bearing the character Ren was walking with a clip-clop clip-clop.

The driver was not young; he occasionally turned his head to say a sentence, even more carefully.

Until a streak of pink-white color appeared ahead, the driver was frightened and hastily stopped the carriage.

"What's wrong?"

Inside the carriage a middle-aged woman spoke, and simultaneously the lowered curtain was pulled open by an arm.

"Replying to the Young Lady, someone has fainted; it's a woman."

The driver couldn't decide; who let a person lie across the roadside so he couldn't drive past.

"Go take a look; if she's alive, bring her back to the Mansion and summon a doctor to examine her."

A clearer, more pleasing female voice rang out, and at the same time the matter of saving the person was settled.

"Young Lady, you returned to serve the Old Madam; to rashly bring a young lady back with you"

Inside the carriage compartment, the middle-aged woman — that is, Wei Mama — couldn't help but urge her own Young Lady to think thrice.

This place is nothing like Jingcheng after all, and the Young Lady came alone; she should be all the more careful.

"Wei Mama, it's nothing, just a young lady; besides, in the Old House apart from Grandmother only I remain," all are inner-chamber women, completely unconcerned that gossip might spread.

In the time the two spoke, the coachman had already examined the condition of the unconscious woman.

Carefully he told his own Young Lady it was a pretty young lady; his little heart pounded wildly.

Aiyo

Good thing they encountered her first; if it had been other people, out on a wild ridge, who knows what might have happened.

The carriage curtain was lifted by someone, and the coachman-called Young Lady Ren Minmin and Wei Mama got down from the carriage in succession.

Walking quickly to the side of the unconscious young lady, the first thing Ren Minmin sized up was the other's face.

Hiss

Indeed beautiful, and dressed in pink-white clothes with an immortal air drifting about her; it was just as well they ran into her — if it had been others, who knows what filthy thoughts they might have harbored.

"Nainai, let's quickly help her back into the carriage compartment; once we return to the prefecture we'll summon a physician."

Not caring whether her own small arms and legs could manage, Ren Minmin lowered her head to support the person, and together with Wei Mama, one in front, one behind, they swiftly brought her aboard the carriage.

Urging the coachman with words to hurry the journey, Ren Minmin tilted her head to observe the "soundly sleeping" Shen Yao, and couldn't help reaching out to touch her own cheek.

【135】 "Nainai, this one fears she may be a fairy, even more beautiful than the number one beauty of Jingcheng."

"Nainai, this must be a Fairy, more beautiful than Jingcheng's first Beauty."

She was someone who had seen much and known much in Jingcheng, yet only a few days after arriving at Yunwu Cheng, this place truly lived up to what Grandmother said — outstanding people, spirited land.

Ren Minmin was not old; this year she was merely fourteen, at home the youngest daughter, and her conduct was quite unconventional.

This time she could come out of Jingcheng because the family Grandmother had to return to perform ancestral rites.

The whole clan had only Ren Minmin as the most idle person, so Father and Mother simply packed her bags and sent her along.

"Young Lady, this young lady may be injured; she's gripping a sword in her hand — she might be a jianghu person."

In this era there are the Court and the jianghu; the two sides keep well water from offending river water.

Even the Wei Mama beside Ren Minmin is a martial artist with quite high martial force.

Otherwise how could a Young Lady from a Guogong Fu sit in a carriage and appear on a wild ridge.
