The room was extremely simple, with only a table and a few chairs. The bed was a large communal bunk where three people were already living. With Song Zhi Xia, there were now four people in the room. "Heavenly Brother Tian Ming, rest assured, we will take good care of the junior sister." Xin Yun smiled and said. She was the oldest in the room, and the other two always deferred to her. Tian Ming nodded noncommittally and left. "Oh, isn't this the sect leader's daughter? How come she's hanging out with us outer sect disciples? Could it be that the sect leader doesn't even want to acknowledge you?" Han Bing sneered at Song Zhi Xia. Whether it's good or bad, news had already spread far and wide. Song Zhi Xia just glanced at Han Bing and didn't say anything. "Haha, tough talk. Let's see if you'll still be tough later. Go fetch water for the courtyard, fill all the water jars, and if they're not full, you won't have dinner tonight, little miss." Han Bing said sarcastically. Song Zhi Xia walked out of the room and saw at least twenty water jars in the outer courtyard, lifting a shoulder pole nearby and headed towards the river. Meanwhile, Song Wei Zhi returned to her room and the mechanical voice of the system immediately sounded in her mind: "Congratulations, host, on gaining 10 points. Current points: 10. You can now open a blind box once." "A blind box? Could I get a genius spiritual treasure like in the Dragon Proud Sky novel series?" Song Wei Zhi immediately voiced her question. "Yes, host, points can be used to redeem a blind box or items in the system mall." As the system voice rang out, rows of system items immediately appeared in Song Wei Zhi's mind, including elixirs, martial arts techniques, talismans, and even subordinates to command, as well as modern mortals. In short, anything you could think of was included in the mall. Song Wei Zhi carefully looked at them. Those genius treasures were exorbitantly priced, but the blind box was relatively cheaper. However, based on Song Wei Zhi's experience as a non-whale, she still resisted the urge to open it. "So, with these ten points, do you have any recommendations for what I should purchase?" As a newcomer, Song Wei Zhi asked for the system's opinion. "I recommend the Comprehension Pill, which can help the host immediately comprehend the original owner's martial arts." The system's mechanical voice introduced. Song Wei Zhi thought this was indeed useful. In the world of cultivating immortals, strength is everything, and the first priority was indeed to master the techniques of the original body. So she clicked to redeem it. "Congratulations, the redemption is successful. The current number of points for the host is 0. Please continue to work hard." "By the way, what tasks do I need to complete in this book to genuinely have a chance at survival?" Song Wei Zhi, who had been in a state of chaos, hurriedly inquired, wanting to clarify the situation. "The host must complete two mainline tasks: 1. Help the female lead, Song Zhi Xia, find the other eight pieces of her fragmented spiritual soul; 2. The host and the female lead must reach the stage of becoming immortals." The mechanical voice of the system sounded. Song Wei Zhi remembered that the female lead in the original book was indeed lacking in spiritual soul fragments. However, after gathering them, she went on to triumph over everything, including eliminating the original owner, the cannon fodder. However, thinking of this, Song Wei Zhi involuntarily shuddered. She didn't want to be made into minced meat to feed the female lead's divine beast! Song Wei Zhi swallowed the pill and slightly sensed her body. She found that the unfamiliar techniques she had never heard of before were now easily manipulated. At that moment, the system's mechanical voice sounded again: "Host, the female lead is currently being bullied by fellow disciples in the same room, and has fainted near the river. Please go and rescue her. Reward: 10 points." Song Wei Zhi commanded her storage ring, and the spirit sword "Li Shuo" immediately appeared in her hand. Li Shuo was a yellow-grade spiritual sword. In this world, spiritual treasures were classified as high-grade, mid-grade, and low-grade, and within high-grade spiritual treasures, there were four levels of ranking. Although a yellow-grade treasure was the lowest of the high-grade spiritual treasures, it was still quite rare. In the entire Linhai City, there were probably no more than ten people who possessed a yellow-grade spiritual treasure. Silently chanting a spell in her heart, Li Shuo floated in the air and its blade expanded several times. Song Wei Zhi leaped onto the sword, and with her thought, Li Shuo soared towards the river. The feeling of flying a sword in the clear sky was indeed wonderful. However, Song Wei Zhi didn't have time to enjoy it. From a distance, she saw the female lead, Song Zhi Xia, lying unconscious by the river, her clothes drenched from the bucket of water. Thinking of the minced meat, Song Wei Zhi immediately jumped off Li Shuo and strode to Song Zhi Xia, holding her in her arms. She then used her spiritual qi to dry Song Zhi Xia's clothes and checked her right shoulder, where there were slight bloodstains seeping through the fabric. After examining Song Zhi Xia, Song Wei Zhi hesitated for a moment before pulling down the girl's clothes, revealing some injuries on her fair right shoulder due to prolonged pressure from heavy objects. She was about to take out the medicine from her storage ring when Song Zhi Xia, who had just woken up, stared at her with wide eyes. Song Zhi Xia was still somewhat weak, with cold sweat drenching her forehead. Seeing her disheveled clothes, she said with a hint of redness in her eyes, "You're taking advantage of me!" Song Wei Zhi immediately shook her head to deny it. She didn't dare take advantage of the female lead— a warning against becoming minced meat! "I didn't, I just saw you faint and injured. If your shoulder injury isn't treated, I'm afraid it will scar. Let me apply the medicine for you." Song Wei Zhi gently explained, holding Song Zhi Xia's hand without letting go, aware that in her current state, Song Zhi Xia might collapse if she did. Song Zhi Xia felt weak, knowing the intentions of the senior sisters in the room and how they wanted to bully her. But she didn't want to return to the Song family village to marry the elderly widower. At the age of eighteen, she wanted to explore this colorful world rather than marry a man more than thirty years older than her, and bear children in the village. She had seen that her birth father didn't want to acknowledge her as his daughter, fearing that she might be driven out of the Song family if she didn't fulfill her duties. In the world of cultivating immortals, the lives of ordinary people were worth little. She didn't want to give up. She wanted to live well. Seeing Song Zhi Xia's lack of retort, Song Wei Zhi took out a healing ointment from her spatial ring. Holding Song Zhi Xia, she used her spiritual energy to spread the ointment evenly on Song Zhi Xia's shoulder. After a while, the injury on Song Zhi Xia's shoulder showed signs of healing. This spiritual medicine was very effective; with daily application using spiritual energy, Song Zhi Xia's injury would heal completely in two days. Song Wei Zhi helped Song Zhi Xia put on her clothes and passed a surge of true qi into her body. Song Zhi Xia felt a warm and gentle sensation and her discomfort eased. Slowly getting up and supporting herself, Song Zhi Xia murmured softly, "Thank you. I... I can't repay you." Song Wei Zhi thought to herself, "As long as you don't turn me into minced meat, I'll be content." Outwardly, she said, "Don't talk about repaying. It was because of me that you were there. I still need to apologize to you." Although the original owner switching bodies with the female lead was not the original owner's fault, ultimately, the reason the original owner was able to reach the stage of comprehending the Golden Core Formation had much to do with the various genius treasures invested in her. The original owner did indeed owe a lot to the female lead. It was a pity that the original Song Wei Zhi in the book didn't have this realization and instead felt that everything was rightfully hers, despite the fact that Song Zhi Xia's presence disrupted everything. "You don't need to apologize. I should have thought about it earlier. The Song family of Linhai City is such a big sect; if the sect leader truly wanted to find his lost child, he would have found me a long time ago. There's no need for other sects. It's just that my birth parents didn't want me." Song Zhi Xia said calmly. But underneath, she couldn't help but feel despondent. Perhaps no one in this world would genuinely want her. The next moment, Song Zhi Xia heard the person beside her say, "It's their loss. You are such a good person, they just don't know how to treasure you." Looking at Song Wei Zhi opposite her, her gaze was clear and the words she spoke came from her heart. Song Zhi Xia thought that she shouldn't be a bad person. However, her rumbling stomach startled her. She surreptitiously raised her eyes to look at Song Wei Zhi, only to see the other person smiling and staring at her. Song Zhi Xia felt herself blushing. Worried that Song Zhi Xia might feel embarrassed, Song Wei Zhi immediately took out several plates of pastries and a bottle of elixir from her spatial ring and placed them in front of Song Zhi Xia. "Have some food, don't be polite with me." Song Wei Zhi smiled and said. "I've already troubled you a lot, there's no need to spend more," Song Zhi Xia hastily refused. Song Wei Zhi had no obligation to help her, and she couldn't just allow Song Wei Zhi to make sacrifices for her. "Do you think you can get away without eating? You have no strength if there's nothing in your belly. Or do you want me to carry you back later?" Song Wei Zhi raised an eyebrow, looking at Song Zhi Xia. "No, that's not what I meant," Song Zhi Xia explained, feeling flustered. "I understand. Now, be a good girl and eat something," Song Wei Zhi spoke with gentleness. After all, the female lead was a pretty young lady. Who wouldn't love that sweet demeanor? Song Zhi Xia felt her face warming up. No one had ever called her "a good girl" before. Coming from Song Wei Zhi, who she wasn't close with, the words felt strange to Song Zhi Xia. She hesitantly nodded and took a small bite of the pastry in front of her. Song Wei Zhi unscrewed the cap of the elixir bottle. True to its name, the elixir was made from the water of a spiritual spring and had the greatest benefits for people. She handed it to Song Zhi Xia, "Have some of this water." "Thank you." Song Zhi Xia took the bottle and drank a few sips. The water felt completely different from what she usually drank, with a pleasant sweetness that made her feel more invigorated after a few sips.
