Chapter One Hundred: Simple and Pure

  However, the Linghua grows between steep cliffs. If one is not careful, they might lose their footing and fall off the cliff. This danger is nothing for a Yuan Dan stage cultivator, but Jiang Suku was only at the high level of Quenching Body stage after all.

  Jiang Suqing carefully took out a silk ribbon, tied one end to her waist and the other to a large tree, then grasped the Ling medicine hoe and carried the backpack carefully down the steep cliff.

  Hard work pays off for those who are diligent. After Jiang Suke carefully picked the purple wisteria flowers and put them in her basket, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from her forehead with her hand. She climbed up the steep cliff and sat down on the grassy ground with a thud, although she was very tired, but her face was filled with joyful expression.

  At this moment, a soft sound came from behind Jiang Suke, and Jiang Suke suddenly stood up like a startled little rabbit, looking back with a guarded face. Upon seeing it, Jiang Suke's face showed a look of surprise.

  "Wow, it's actually a person!"

  Jiang Suqing observed for a while and found that the other party was lying there motionless. After a good while, Jiang Suqing cautiously approached the other party, and only when she got close did she discover that the person lying there was actually a man in his twenties who looked quite handsome, but with a pale face that was frightening, as if he had lost too much blood, like a sheet of white paper.

  This man was none other than Zhao Suo, who had been sent out of the Island of Death by Daosi after suffering a great loss of yuanqi.

  Jiang Suqing stretched out her hand to help Zhao Shuo take his pulse, and felt the weak pulse. Jiang Suqing slightly let out a breath of relief, since he still had a pulse, it meant he wasn't dead, even if he was injured, there was still hope for rescue.

  Zhao Zhuo was gently shaken, but he didn't make a sound for a long time. Jiang Suqing couldn't help but furrow her brow, looking at the gradually setting sun, thinking of her master, and becoming somewhat anxious. If she didn't hurry back, her master would definitely be worried sick. But what to do with this person in front of her? No matter how she called out to him, he wouldn't wake up. Could it be that she had to abandon him here? This mountain did have wild beasts after all...

  Ginger Suqin bit her red lips, hesitated for half a day, and finally untied the backpack to carry Zhao Shuo on his back, carrying the backpack straight to the Lingyao Valley.

  Lingyao Valley was an inconspicuous small sect in the Zhongshan Mountains, or it could be said that it was just a sect established by a loose cultivator hundreds of years ago. After hundreds of years of development, not only did it not prosper, but it became more and more decadent. By this generation, Lingyao Valley had only two people left, Jiang Suxin and his apprentice, as well as two servants, and could be said to have reached the brink of extinction.

  An old woman, looking about fifty years old, stood in front of a mountain valley, gazing worriedly at the entrance with a murmur: "Su Qing that girl has gone to pick herbs again, I'm really afraid she'll encounter some danger."

  Jiang Hua can be considered the last generation of Lingyao Valley's master, with a spiritual aperture at the third level of the human realm. His cultivation is only in the middle stage of Yuan Dan, which is not even comparable to the outer disciples of Chongxiao Sect. Jiang Suqing, on the other hand, is an orphan adopted by Jiang Hua and bears his surname. He treats her like a biological daughter and loves her dearly. After discovering that Jiang Suqing has exceptional talent, he used the most precious treasure of Lingyao Valley, the town's spiritual medicine, to help her open up her spiritual aperture to the seventh level of the heavenly realm. However, Jiang Suqing's cultivation method is too poor, or rather, the methods passed down by Lingyao Valley focus on nourishing life, and even refining one's body can take over a decade. The foundation laid is extremely solid, but such slow progress makes it useless, no matter how strong the foundation is. Otherwise, Lingyao Valley wouldn't have declined to the point where they can't even recruit new disciples.

  Suddenly, Jiang Hua's eyes lit up, and his gaze was fixed tightly on the entrance of the valley. He saw that Jiang Suqing had someone on her back and was struggling to move step by step.

  Originally, with Jiang Suqing's cultivation that had reached the high level of Tempering Body, it would not have been a problem to carry someone on her back, let alone a big stone. However, Jiang Suqing had spent the whole day climbing between steep cliffs, exhausting her energy. It was already fortunate that she could carry Zhao Suo, who was unconscious, back.

  She raised her head and took a look, with a delighted expression on her face. She had finally brought the person back, after dozens of miles of mountain roads. If she hadn't gritted her teeth and persevered, Jiang Suke would have given up long ago.

  Jiang Hua walked quickly to Jiang Suqing's front, first sizing her up from head to toe, and seeing that she was not injured, he let out a slight sigh of relief. His gaze fell on Zhao Shuo behind Jiang Suqing, and Jiang Hua furrowed his brow: "Suqing, who is this person? Why did you bring back a stranger?"

  Jiang Suqing carefully laid Zhao Zhuo down, wiped the sweat from her brow and said: "Master, I met this person while picking herbs on the mountain. He was unconscious in the mountains, no matter how much I shouted at him, he wouldn't wake up. I wasn't willing to leave him alone in the mountains, so I brought him back."

  Jiang Hua looked at Zhao Zhuo, who was unconscious, and said: "You silly girl, I've told you countless times that the people outside are unpredictable, one by one. You're always so kind-hearted, what if you encounter a wicked person? What would your master do then?"

  She spat out her tongue and Jiang Suqing pulled Jiang Hua's hand, saying: "Master, how can there be so many bad people? The people at the foot of the mountain are all very good."

  Knowing that Jiang Suqing often goes to the villages at the foot of the mountain to come into contact with many ordinary people, Jiang Hua sighs in her heart, but she also doesn't want Jiang Suqing to be exposed to so many dark aspects of human nature.

  Suddenly, Jiang Suqing presented the treasure in front of Jiang Hua and said: "Master, look at this purple wisteria spirit flower I picked. With this purple wisteria spirit flower, next month we'll have something to give as a gift, and Chong Xiao Sect won't be able to bully us again."

  Jiang Hua's eyes lit up when he saw the purple wisteria spirit flower in Jiang Suqing's basket. Looking at the freshly picked purple wisteria spirit flower, Jiang Hua exclaimed excitedly: "I didn't expect you to have such good fortune, this spirit flower can actually let you encounter it, it seems that heaven won't destroy my Lingyao Valley lineage after all!"

  Jiang Suqing looked at Jiang Hua's excited expression and smiled, saying: "Master, this time the young master of Chongxiao Sect is getting married, but there are no signs of it at all. It seems a bit hasty to say that he's getting married just like that."

  Jiang Hua carefully put away the Zi Teng Ling flower and said, "I've also asked Master and a few fellow cultivators about this, it seems everyone received the notification together. Except for knowing that the person being welcomed by the Shaoyang Sect is named Zhao Luan, there was no prior information about this person."

  At this time, Zhao Zhuo, who was lying on the side, slightly furrowed his brow. In a state of half-drowsiness and half-awakening, he vaguely heard someone mention his little sister's name, and suddenly woke up. Soon, Zhao Zhuo became aware of the terrible condition of his own body.
