Chapter 233 The situation is getting smaller
As mentioned earlier, Ming Chi, based on his memories from his previous life, wanted to subdue the Flame of No Return once again.
But as time went by, her heart was no longer as pure and innocent as before.
That flame of desire, which burns away greed and delusion, could now scorch her.
In his anger, Mingchi sealed off the area.
Even though he lost his greatest weapon from his previous life, Ming Chi, thanks to his rebirth, knows the ultimate consequences of every seemingly inexplicable choice he makes.
For example, the seemingly insignificant animal hides—
She made an extravagant bid during the auction, her lavish spending leaving onlookers speechless.
Unfortunately, there was that clueless fellow who dared to challenge Mingchi.
Ultimately, due to Ming Chi's deliberate attempt to drive up the price, they spent a large sum of spirit stones to bid on a useless item, losing face greatly.
Yes, this storyline is based on Gu Lang, a "foolish and rich" character from the Huajin Pavilion in Nanli City.
Although Zhu Wuyao and Gu Lang were already friends when this was written—
But that doesn't stop her from having people around her appear on camera when she has no material to shoot.
I will find out tomorrow night that my younger sister is quite extraordinary.
After leaving the auction, he asked:
"Could it be that the person failed to notice the extraordinary feature on the animal hide?"
At their secret base, Ming Chi took out the broken puppet he had bought at a low price from his storage ring—
Its core, which provides power, and the seal that has been removed from its outer shell, clearly indicate that it is a pill left behind by an ancient powerful being.
For a puppet, the few wisps of medicinal energy that are accidentally leaked out are enough to keep it running for a long time.
It turns out that Ming knew long ago that his enemy would come to the auction and compete with him.
Therefore, he pretended to be interested in the ordinary animal hide.
This leads the other party to believe that the item possesses extraordinary properties, prompting them to snatch it at a high price and deplete their spirit stones.
However, his true intentions were not what they seemed.
What Mingchi truly wanted was this Azure Water Pill.
A secret realm is about to open—
In the previous life, rare treasures frequently appeared in the secret realm, and people fought fiercely to seize them.
Ming Chi already possessed the Flame of No Return, and compared to other magical artifacts, she was more eager to find the Spirit Herb Garden in this secret realm, which had been preserved for countless years.
If even one of them survives, it is an extraordinary plant that has existed for millions of years, and is extremely rare in the world.
Unexpectedly, she found the herb garden using the map she had obtained earlier.
However, they were unable to proceed because of the river that surrounded the herb garden!
Mingchi had never seen a river like this before.
It's as if a single drop of it can erase all memories of the past, turning a beautiful woman into withered bones in an instant. If one were to take ten steps forward, even a Nascent Soul cultivator would perish.
Just because——
This is a tributary of the Yellow Springs.
In the face of life and death, whether you are a commoner, a merchant or a nobleman, a Nascent Soul cultivator, or a bald-tailed, yellow-haired dog, you are all equal.
The real Yellow Springs are not here; what surrounds the secret realm and the spirit herb garden is merely a drop of Yellow Springs water.
Mingchi prefers to call it "water without roots".
This river has blocked countless cultivators, leaving them only able to gaze longingly at the ancient spiritual herbs in the Spirit Herb Garden, unable to obtain them.
In her previous life, Mingchi had tried it.
Unfortunately, she possessed the Fire of No Return, which was originally something that could rival the Water of No Roots, but because water and fire are incompatible.
The moment they touched, neither would give way.
In the struggle between water and fire, Mingchi could not advance even half a step and had no choice but to give up, becoming one of the many cultivators who returned defeated.
Ultimately, with the closure of the secret realm, the Spirit Herb Garden disappeared.
And the true treasure within that secret realm—the Rootless Water—also vanished.
When it reappears, it will probably be millions of years later.
In her previous life, Ming Chi returned empty-handed and unwilling to give up. She read through many ancient documents and finally heard of something called "Azure Water Pill".
This is a legendary item.
Due to the passage of time, it is impossible to verify whether it actually existed.
It is said to be an ancient deity in charge of reincarnation, and wherever it goes, the Yellow Springs will be filled with its presence, so no one dares to approach it.
Yet this deity, in order to drink with his friend, took a wisp of his own primordial energy and refined a Jade Water Pill.
It is shaped like crystal, clear and bright inside and out.
A wisp of elixir fragrance can extend the lifespan of mortals by a hundred years. It can also be used as a universal spiritual stone for setting up formations and serving as the core of puppets. Wearing it on one's body regularly can have a magical effect.
But apart from that, it seems to have no other effect.
The literature records—
"This is a small item, only good for keeping out water. If it has endless transformations and mysteries, it will also bring endless disasters and calamities. It is a useless thing, but it can stop war and protect your cultivation."
It is said that this was a principle spoken by the God of Reincarnation when he gave the Azure Water Pill to his friend.
As for the idea that a mere whiff of the elixir's fragrance can extend one's lifespan by a hundred years...
Even if the God of Reincarnation makes the Azure Water Pill useless, it is still derived from a wisp of primordial energy from the beginning of creation, and will always carry some mystical qualities.
However, for cultivators, it is a useless thing.
Ming Chi didn't know whether the Azure Water Pill could actually "protect Qingqing's cultivation."
Anyway, she was quite tempted.
After a long time, news came that an object had appeared in the cultivation world. Everyone was puzzled by its use, but they were convinced that it was no ordinary object, and a bloody struggle ensued.
In his previous life, Ming Chi guessed that this item might be the Azure Water Pill.
It seems that useless things cannot stop the fighting.
So in this life, Ming Chi found the location where the Azure Water Pill first appeared in his memory, and after some comparison and judgment, he guessed that it was in that broken and useless ancient puppet.
as predicted.
Ming Chi played with the Azure Water Pill in her hand. This time, she was free from the Undeserved Fire and had obtained the Azure Water Pill, which could separate her from the Yellow Springs...
The herb garden within the secret realm is already within my grasp.

Where in the cultivation world have people ever seen such a novel setting?
An ancient god who governs reincarnation?
Since the beginning of time, what was that wisp of primordial chaos?
Such a grand gesture just to share a drink with friends?
It was just a drop of Yellow Spring water, yet it blocked the path of all the cultivators?!
A casually made quaint object by the water could actually stir up a bloody storm in the cultivation world...
Those who have read the book "Outer Gate Servant" all share a common thought—their own perspective has become too narrow...
I wonder where Mr. Speechless got such magnificent imagination and passion from. It's like a drop of ink that has condensed into a fleeting glimpse of thousands of years.
It felt as if the vastness stretched across the eight directions and the eternity of time.
Like a tattered hem of an ancient sage's robe, drifting in the wind, its voice can still be heard spreading its teachings millions of years later.
A sense of wilderness and desolation washes over you.
Then look at the ruins in the secret realm in the text... even such powerful beings could disappear!
Mr. Silent's stories seem to possess a grand and sweeping spirit in seemingly inconspicuous places.
As if written casually, it leaves the reader before the book deeply moved by the vast and magnificent sentiment captured in that fleeting glimpse.
Even a seemingly insignificant sentence can possess a myriad of meanings!
And Mr. Speechless actually used it without any hesitation?!

[Important: All chapters before chapter 90 are now complete. The section about Xiao Liu (chapters 72-90) has been rewritten—I've rewritten the foreshadowing and truths that most readers missed. Many readers abandoned the story after reading that part; foreshadowing is useless if it's hidden, and one more won't make a difference. Interested readers can go back and take a look at that section~]
