Chapter 37 - Transmigrated as a Fake Daughter in Cultivation Novel
Chapter 37 Before the clown chicken could have fun in Song Wei Zhi's hands, it was taken away by Song Zhi Xia. Poke the chicken's head, Song Zhi Xia said: "Stop bothering Senior Sister. Chicken, be a good girl and go back to rest, okay?" The chicken nodded reluctantly, still wanting to play, but obediently followed Song Zhi Xia's instructions and returned to rest in her sea of consciousness. After helping Song Zhi Xia refine the primordial spirit fragments, Song Wei Zhi asked her to meditate and recuperate, while she herself returned to her room. As soon as Song Wei Zhi returned to her room, her mind was bombarded by the system's messages: "Congratulations, the host has successfully broken through the Linglong Secret Realm, rewarded 500 points. Congratulations, the host has found the female lead Song Wei Zhi's primordial spirit fragment, rewarded 1000 points. The host has 50 remaining points, the current total points of the host is 1550 points. Would you like to exchange for items in the mall?" Thinking that Song Ru Hai and Tian Yue Lan had lost their son and daughter, and fearing that they might cause trouble in a few days, Song Wei Zhi, with her current complete Golden Core cultivation, realized that she couldn’t really suppress them. Since she had already obtained the primordial spirit fragment in Linhai City, could she just leave? She expressed her thoughts to the system, but received a negative answer. "After inspection, there is still a piece of the female lead's primordial spirit fragment in Linhai City. The system suggests that the host should not leave temporarily." Unexpectedly, there was still a piece of the primordial spirit fragment in Linhai City. It seemed that she and Song Zhi Xia couldn’t leave after all. In order to avoid trouble from those people, the immediate priority was to enhance her and Song Zhi Xia's strength. So, Song Wei Zhi asked the system in her mind, "Then what are the items available in the mall?" As per the request, the system opened the mall interface, displaying neatly arranged items. There were many martial arts, treasures, and pills. When Song Wei Zhi came across a Hidden Pill, her interest was piqued. The mall description read: Hidden Pill, priced at 1000 points, only one available, once sold out, it will not be restocked. It can hide the user's cultivation level. After consumption, the user will not be affected by tribulations when breaking through realms. Song Wei Zhi was instantly intrigued. After all, in this world, after the Foundation Establishment stage, each level up required a corresponding number of tribulations. With this pill, she no longer had to worry about tribulations, and she could also conceal her strength, making it difficult for others to gauge her true power, providing an extra layer of security for herself. Song Wei Zhi clicked to confirm the exchange, and immediately had a dark pill in her hand. The system's mechanical voice sounded again: "Congratulations, the host has successfully exchanged for the Hidden Pill, deducted 1000 points, and the current remaining points of the host are 550 points." Song Wei Zhi took the Hidden Pill and felt no change in her body. However, she immediately sensed the fluctuations of spiritual energy around the courtyard. Upon pushing the door open, she saw dark clouds gathering towards the courtyard, resembling a heavenly tribulation. Without thinking, Song Wei Zhi realized that this heavenly tribulation was targeting Song Zhi Xia. Having just refined the primordial spirit fragment, her cultivation progress had accelerated considerably. Priorly stuck at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, she seemed to have made a breakthrough. Realizing this, Song Wei Zhi hurried to find someone at the door of Song Zhi Xia's room and led them to a deserted place near the courtyard. Unlike the single tribulation in Foundation Establishment stage, the transition from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation stage involved two tribulations. In no time, dark clouds over Song Zhi Xia's head attacked, resembling a giant beast eroding its prey. Summoning her Lishuo Sword, Song Wei Zhi said, "Xia Xia, don't be afraid. This time there are two tribulations. I'll help you with one, and you take care of the other." By now, Song Zhi Xia had also gripped her sword and, pushing Song Wei Zhi, said, "Senior Sister, please stay away. The tribulation is about to strike." She did not want Song Wei Zhi to be hit by the tribulations and was in a hurry. Without moving, Song Wei Zhi stood by her side and said, "It's okay, Xia Xia. It's just a tribulation. Don't push me, focus on dealing with the tribulation." With determination, Song Wei Zhi stood by Song Zhi Xia. Song Zhi Xia looked at the person beside her, her eyes slightly red. Senior Sister always protected her like this which she had never experienced before. Everything had changed in these months because of her. The thunder rumbled in the sky, the dark clouds pressed down lower, and in an instant, a tribulation struck. Song Wei Zhi used her Lishuo Sword to intercept the first tribulation. As it clashed with the tribulation, the surrounding area was pitted with several deep craters. After enduring the first tribulation, Song Wei Zhi felt a bit drained. It wasn’t due to her lacking cultivation but because facing tribulations on behalf of others entailed being suppressed by extreme heavenly constraints. Unperturbed, she prepared to help Song Zhi Xia face the second tribulation. Shortly after, the second tribulation struck, and Song Wei Zhi went ahead to block it, their collision causing explosions. When she felt exhausted, Song Wei Zhi stepped back, allowing the remaining half of the tribulation to strike Song Zhi Xia. Song Zhi Xia wanted to check on Song Wei Zhi, but the tribulation had begun, and she could only raise her sword to defend herself. Luckily, it was only a half-tribulation, and she felt her arm go numb from the impact. At the same time, on the back hill, Song Ru Hai and the disciples also witnessed the two tribulations. Two tribulations meant that some disciples had entered the Core Formation stage. This was supposed to be a joyous occasion, but Song Ru Hai was in no mood. No matter how powerful the disciples were, they were still just subordinates to him. How could they be more important than his own son? As the heavenly tribulations gradually dissipated, Song Zhi Xia hastily ran to Song Wei Zhi. "Senior Sister, are you okay? You promised to block just one, but you tried to take both. Are you hurt?" Her eyes turned red as she spoke. Song Wei Zhi, looking pale, smiled and reassured her, "I'm fine, dear. I'm right here. Don't worry, Xia Xia, don't cry." But Song Zhi Xia could clearly see that Song Wei Zhi wasn't well. Clenching her fists tightly, tears rolled down her cheeks. Song Wei Zhi embraced her, comforting her gently. "I'm really okay, just worried about you. Stop crying, okay?" Resting her head on Song Wei Zhi's chest, Song Zhi Xia's hands around her waist tightened. "I'm not angry, just worried about you." Observing the actions of the girl in her arms, Song Wei Zhi couldn't help but smile. Her little girl was too adorable, acting like a baby rabbit and being affectionate when upset. "Alright, I'll be more careful for your sake," Song Wei Zhi said reassuringly. Song Zhi Xia wiped her eyes and nuzzled Song Wei Zhi's chest. After arranging things for Song Zhi Xia's rest, Song Wei Zhi felt considerably drained. She returned to her room, setting up a boundary to keep watch and instructing the guards to keep strangers out. Finally, she began to meditate. Initially, Song Wei Zhi's progress was slow due to the drained spiritual energy. She lost track of time but gradually felt the drained energy converted and accumulated rapidly in her Dantian and meridians. It seemed like the gathered energy was on the brink of bursting. She faintly sensed her mid-stage Golden Core realm loosening. With more spiritual energy, she was on the verge of breaking through. Time seemed to elongate, but she persisted in circulating her internal energy, aiming to break through the threshold of the Core Formation realm. While Song Wei Zhi was in secluded cultivation, five days passed outside. Song Ru Hai and the others had been tirelessly searching on the hill for five days but found no trace of his son. The situation had him completely on edge. After the fifth day, Song Ru Hai’s accumulated frustration erupted. "All of you are useless, unable to locate a person as large as Suo Yun. What use are you to me?" He had lost his former composed demeanor and was bloodshot, willing to kill his incompetent disciples to get back his son. "Ha, Master Song, aren't you useless too? It's been five days. My son and daughter, where are they? What about your explanations?" Tian Yue Lan had also not slept for days, hoping to find her children. She had been ridiculing and taunting Song Ru Hai these days, and at this point, Song Ru Hai was on the verge of collapse. "Me, useless? I'll show you how useless I am." Saying this, he swiftly moved to strike Tian Yue Lan, who had no choice but to defend herself against his sudden attack. They both received different degrees of injuries, with Zhao Fei finally intervening to stop the fight. The Zhao family was the most innocent in this matter. First, their marriage proposal was rejected, and then they encountered unexpected events in the secret realm. Zhao Fei had no intention of dealing with these problems further and quickly left the Song family with his people. Unable to find his son on the back hill, Song Ru Hai's only thought was to ask Song Wei Zhi for help, as she had claimed to have seen Song Chaoyun. After calming down, Song Ru Hai said to Tian Yue Lan, "I think there might be some hidden agenda in this matter. I'm not afraid to admit it now. My rebellious daughter, Song Wei Zhi, has always been disobedient. Moreover, since she claimed that our son has already passed away, I think his disappearance and her rebellion are closely related. However, she has a strong cultivation, also in the Golden Core stage. It may be necessary for us to join forces to defeat her. Leader Tian, I apologize for my earlier offense." Concerned about the fate of her children, Tian Yue Lan naturally gave Song Ru Hai an opportunity to step down, saying, "Song Leader, there's no need for this. It was also my fault. Now, we should deal with Song Wei Zhi together." Author's Note: Thank you to the angels who voted or supported me! Thank you, anonymous angel, for supporting with 15 bottles of nutrient solution!
