Chapter 218: Chapter 217: Xie Jiuniang Became Famous Again

The two sisters sat down, drank Spiritual Tea and ate Spirit Fruit.

Xie Jiuniang asked, "What’s the deal with Xin Yi? She sent you a Sound Transmission Talisman asking for help, which must have been within the Sect’s range. Later, when we tried to send a Sound Transmission Talisman, it couldn’t be sent out..."

"When she sent the Sound Transmission Talisman, she was indeed within the Sect," Xie Siniang hadn’t thought that this would be a trap at the time.

Xin Yi’s Sound Transmission Talisman was asking for help.

As Xie Siniang hurried over, she found that the situation was different from what she had imagined; Xin Yi was fine, except that she had botched a Sect mission.

The problem arose when Xin Yi took on a Sect mission and claimed to have handed over the wrong items. With not much time left before the deadline, she sought help from Xie Siniang.

Xie Siniang saw no reason for suspicion and agreed to help.

They usually had a good relationship, and a little favor was nothing. Besides, the Sect mission Xin Yi mentioned was not difficult, just a bit far, requiring a two to three days’ round trip.

Reflecting on the schemer behind the scenes, Xie Siniang felt very guilty.

Xie Jiuniang consoled, "Four-sister, you really shouldn’t feel guilty about this. If it wasn’t you, it would have been someone else."

Someone was behind this plot to calculate against her.

It wasn’t Xie Siniang, it would have been someone else, and eventually, they wouldn’t let her go. Now the situation was favorable, the problem with Wu Sheng had been resolved, and no one should have the audacity to target her again for a while.

The incident, however, made Xie Jiuniang more vigilant.

In this life, she had a slew of enemies, and the number would only increase in the future. If her enemies couldn’t kill her, they might take their anger out on the people around her.

Thinking about this, she was relieved that her parents had gone back to the family. Once, she even considered hiding her identity as the Child of Destiny and cultivating with her parents to grow stronger and explore the Cultivation World together.

Now she realized she had been too optimistic and not thorough enough in her considerations. Fortunately, she had sent Old He to protect her parents.

Moreover, with the family’s protection, her parents were now safe.

Which was safer than staying in the Sect Market, at the very least.

Xie Siniang stayed a while longer, but upon confirming that Xie Jiuniang’s injuries were indeed minor, she left the Main Peak.

Xie Jiuniang, on the other hand, activated an Array Plate and entered into secluded cultivation without a word.

During this time, Kuangguan and Qiao Shiyun each visited once. Seeing the Formation outside the door, they left without further disturbance.

Learning that Xie Jiuniang was in retreat, Chaoruo just smiled lightly, instructing the disciples of the Main Peak not to bother her.

The Junior Brother had always known his disciple to be a cultivation fanatic.

In the ten years since coming to the Sect, she was either out on expeditions or in retreat...

Xie Jiuniang’s retreat this time lasted several months.

During that period, she took a trip to the Fusang Secret Realm, picked the largest Pure World Lotus, and then refined it, placing it into her Dantian to nourish. Consequently, her Dantian now held not just a Small Tortoise Shell at the bottom of her Spiritual Energy lake, but also a Pure World Lotus floating on the surface, emitting a gentle luminescent glow, both mysterious and sacred, quite eye-catching.

She had thought of this strategy because of Ghost Cultivators.

The stand of Buddha’s Green Lamp was good, but unfortunately damaged, leading to a significant decrease in grade, making it only suitable for those at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Once she increased her cultivation base, it wouldn’t be as useful in dangerous situations.

The Pure World Lotus was better.

Refining one, was ensuring safety for the future.

It did take a considerable amount of time; three or four months to refine the Pure World Lotus and introduce it into her Dantian. This was also due to her low cultivation base; for someone at the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage, it would not have been necessary.

And at the moment of refining the Pure World Lotus,

Xie Jiuniang’s strength once again increased, reaching the sixth level of Foundation Establishment.

However, she still appeared to be at the third level of Foundation Establishment to outsiders.

Even at the third level of Foundation Establishment, she was now outstanding.

Xie Jiuniang was unaware that during her retreat, the aftermath of Wu Sheng’s incident had caused quite a stir, especially since he had fled and defected from the Sect.

Wu Sheng was wearing a mask at the time.

Unfortunately, he was outmaneuvered by Xie Jiuniang.

Now, clearing his suspicions was virtually impossible.

The powers of Tianxu Sect sought out the Wu Family.

The Wu Family disavowed any knowledge of Wu Sheng’s actions and even publicly declared that they had expelled him from the family, issuing a clan-wide order to kill him as a way to give the Tianxu Sect an explanation.

The posture they took was very sufficient.

Yet even so, the powers of the Tianxu Sect still skinned a layer off the Wu Family, including a large Spirit Vein.

Now the Wu Family, instead of protecting Wu Sheng, wished they could flay him alive. They kept losing because of the incidents he caused, time and again.

This was no small matter anymore.

Once more, Xie Jiuniang attracted certain people’s attention.

When Xie Jiuniang came out of seclusion and stepped out of the side hall, she encountered some disciples from various sects and noticed that they all looked at her strangely.

There was admiration, envy, and even jealousy, among other emotions.

Just as Xie Jiuniang was about to ask Jian Lingyan.

She remembered that Jian Lingyan had also entered seclusion and could not be contacted.

"Yuanxi, you’ve come out of seclusion!" Kuangguan happened to come out and saw her.

As he approached her, he said with a smile, "The Master told you to come out of seclusion to see him."

"Oh, okay."

Xie Jiuniang came out because she also wanted to pay respects to her uncle.

The two walked side by side towards the main hall, the very one where the Sect Master usually handled sect affairs.

Along the way, Xie Jiuniang also saw some disciples from the main peak, all of whom greeted her warmly.

Xie Jiuniang was confused, "Big Brother, has anything happened in the sect recently?"

Kuangguan teased, "There’s a piece of good news involving you, does that count?"

"What is it?" Xie Jiuniang wondered if it was about the Wu Sheng incident that hadn’t passed.

Normally it shouldn’t be the case.

The incident had occurred three or four months ago; no matter how big the commotion was, it should have subsided by now.

Just as Kuangguan was about to say something, someone came up, "Yuanxi has come out, congratulations."

Xie Jiuniang turned around and there was Qiao Shiyun.

Behind Qiao Shiyun, several other disciples followed, all of them congratulating Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang was puzzled, "Where does this joy come from?"

"You might not be aware, sister, but the Genius Rankings of the Eastern Region have been updated, and you’ve made it onto the list," Qiao Shiyun replied with a beaming smile, showing no particular expression on her face, but only she knew the madness of her own envy.

Qiao Shiyun had never made it onto the Genius Rankings despite her decent talents. And there were many in the sect with decent talents like hers. Yet, how could Xie Jiuniang, the least likely to be ranked, have made it onto the list?

A tri-Spirit Root, wasn’t it?

The only tri-Spirit Root on the Genius Rankings!

This made many question whether there was an error in the Genius Rankings.

If their talents surpassed that of Xie Jiuniang, why couldn’t they make it onto the list while she could?

This not only caused a huge commotion within the Tianxu Sect but also set the entire Eastern Region abuzz.

Why, just because she has the abysmal talent of a tri-Spirit Root?

Thus, in such a glorious yet questioned manner, Xie Jiuniang became famous throughout the Eastern Region.

Many who could not make it onto the rankings were eager to find out who "Yuanxi" was.

How could she surpass them to be on the list?

At the same time, many geniuses on the list were also curious about "Yuanxi."

Some looked up Xie Jiuniang and specially came to the city near the Tianxu Sect, just to catch a glimpse of her true grace.
