As soon as Ye Qingning entered the room, she heard Su Ruoxi’s sarcastic voice.
“Decided to use magic to defeat magic.”
The voice, seemingly harmless, continued, “Su sister is back so early, looks like today you won’t have to scoop the manure for the spirit beasts in the garden.”
“Pfft—!”
Lin Yue’er and Yun Mengyao, who were in the same room, couldn’t help but laugh.
After all, the noble daughter of the Su family was actually assigned by the steward of the spirit beast garden, Li, to scoop the manure for the spirit beasts.
“Ye Qingning! Don’t think that just because you went to the Spirit Herb Garden, you’re something impressive! I’ll tell you, I will eventually enter the inner sect and become a direct disciple!”
“And you, with your incomplete congenital heart pulse, may end up as nourishment for those spirit herbs one day!”
“Finished talking?” Ye Qingning lazily responded, “If you’re done, be quiet and don’t disturb me while I read.”
Wasn’t it just about her scooping manure? Why did it get her so worked up? So, the young lady couldn’t scoop manure, huh?
She really thought every profession could make people lose their composure. From now on, I’ll just call you Manure Sister.
Or, maybe Defenseless Sister works too.
As for repairing the heart pulse… that was indeed a tricky issue.
If she kept dragging it out like this, not only would she not be able to remove the poison, but she’d probably have to work as a menial disciple until retirement, or maybe even die before that, and end up as nourishment for the spirit herbs.
[Ningning! You go ahead and memorize the books, I’ll find a way to fix your heart pulse!]
[Even though the system is rebooted, the point-based items in the shop can still be redeemed. Right now, I have no points, and I don’t even know how to earn them.]
[Once I find a way to earn points, even without Old Zhou to treat your heart pulse, we can exchange for the Heart Rejuvenating Divine Stone from the shop.]
[The Heart Rejuvenating Divine Stone doesn’t require a powerful cultivator to treat you, nor does it require replacing the heart pulse. Just wear it close to your body, and it will slowly nourish your heart pulse until it’s restored!]
[Wait for me, I’ll contact the main system to find a way for you to earn points!]
Even though the system said this, it still felt troubled.
It realized that it had lost contact with the main system and couldn’t even return to the main divine space.
Moreover, the host had already arrived at the Penglai Sect, and the plot had fallen apart so much that it was impossible for her to pursue the male second from a different sect. Also, after failing to pursue the male second in her previous life, the system was deeply annoyed by him. In this life, it absolutely would not let the host pursue him again.
To be precise, the host’s silly nature just wasn’t suitable for pursuing anyone.
But how to earn points was a real problem—it needed to be researched properly.
Otherwise, after the world reset, the system would be useless!
Ye Qingning furrowed her brows slightly.
The Heart Rejuvenating Divine Stone? In her previous life, that useless system didn’t even tell her there was such a good item in the shop.
If she had known earlier, wouldn’t it have been nice to save some points? How silly, like leaving leftovers in a dog’s den, just like how she couldn’t keep any points.
After a brief moment of lament, Ye Qingning stopped thinking about it. Leaning against the bed’s headboard, she began to flip through the books she had brought back.
At the same time, Lin Yue’er, who was also reading on the opposite bed, started complaining, “The steward is really something. Today, I have to write down the names and appearances of all the spirit beasts in the garden from the illustrated guide.”
“Also, I need to remember what they like to eat, what they don’t like, how to feed them, how to mix the spirit beast feed, and all kinds of other miscellaneous things. How can I remember all of this in one night? Looks like I won’t be sleeping tonight!”
Saying this, Lin Yue’er actually began to envy Su Ruoxi.
Although Su Ruoxi was responsible for scooping manure for the spirit beasts, she only needed to differentiate which pile of manure belonged to which spirit beast. She didn’t need to memorize anything else!
As for Yun Mengyao, although she was a menial disciple, she had been assigned to work under the sect’s outer elder.
If she did well, or if she left a good impression on the elder, becoming an outer disciple wouldn’t be difficult.
Really, comparing people just makes you feel miserable!
Yun Mengyao didn’t have to memorize anything. Before coming back, she had already gathered information about Elder Qiu from the outer sect through a few outer disciples.
At this moment, seeing Ye Qingning reading, Yun Mengyao’s eyes narrowed slightly. She thought that since she was on good terms with Ye Hanyue and had received her transmission, she naturally needed to “care” more for Ye Qingning in the future.
She said, “Ye Sister, these books, you’re not going to have to memorize them, are you? So many books, if it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be able to memorize them in one night.”
“I heard that the Grand Elder usually isn’t in the Spirit Herb Garden, but today it seems like his little apprentice, Jiang Shaoling, is there. It seems that this Jiang Shishu doesn’t like Ye Sister. He’s purposely making things difficult for you.”
“Perhaps he’s trying to drive you out of the Spirit Herb Garden! Ye Sister, you must work hard tonight.”
Ye Qingning simply smiled. She wasn’t unaware that Yun Mengyao and Ye Hanyue were in cahoots.
These two were deeply bonded in the previous life, practically inseparable, and even though they weren’t in the same sect in this life, she still had to be wary of Yun Mengyao.
Meanwhile, Lin Yue’er, who had been complaining earlier, immediately felt better after hearing this. She asked, “Ye Sister, you’re not really going to memorize all ten of these books tonight, are you? That’s worse than what I’m facing!”
Ye Qingning nonchalantly responded with a “hmm,” not forgetting to enjoy the three of them watching her with glee.
Some people just can’t stand others doing well. Well, she would just let them have their fun.
Ye Qingning quickly flipped through the books. For her, memorizing all the spirit herbs in ten books in one night wasn’t a difficult task.
After all, in her previous life, she was an alchemist and knew all about spirit herbs.
She had also been fortunate enough to obtain an ancient book titled The Illustrated Guide to Immortal Plants, which recorded the appearance, growing environment, habits, collection times, and effects of all spirit plants from ancient times to the present.
She was thankful that she had memorized the contents of the Illustrated Guide to Immortal Plants in her previous life; otherwise, there was no way she could have memorized all the content of ten books in one night.
The next morning, Ye Qingning was awakened by a loud scream.
“Ahhh, I fell asleep last night! I’m done for! I’ll definitely be punished today!” Lin Yue’er ran out of the room in a panic.
Su Ruoxi sneered and, with Yun Mengyao, left after casting a scornful glance at Ye Qingning.
Last night, she had personally seen Ye Qingning fall asleep after reading just a little. Today, this sickly girl would definitely face some consequences!
Ye Qingning got up, washed up, packed her things, changed into her menial disciple’s uniform, and then carried a stack of books as she left the initial Dao Academy.
Since she hadn’t had dinner the night before and didn’t have any pills to suppress her hunger, she was already starving. After walking for a while, exhausted and sweaty, she arrived at the Spirit Herb Garden and had to sit on a stone in front of the garden to catch her breath.
At the same time, she faintly heard someone speaking in the yard.
“Good disciple, I heard from Old Xu that a girl with dual spiritual roots, Thunder and Fire, came to our garden yesterday. She’s almost at full purity. With such a good prospect joining our garden, don’t tell me you’ve bullied her?”
“Master, I’ve warned you! I’m planning to take on a closed-door disciple. If this girl can heal her heart pulse, she could really be a chosen one for cultivation!”
“Anyway, be nice to that girl, control your temper. Who knows, you might gain a little sister in the future.”
