Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 791 World 339

Shen Ruyin recounted what had just happened to Shen Ruwan.

Shen Ruwan was initially worried, but then she became curious: "Are there really mountain spirits in the mortal world? Why didn't we see any when we went to become apprentices?"

"Perhaps it was just bad luck?" Shen Ruyin said. "I think it's a good thing we didn't encounter any mountain spirits."

Shen Ruwan nodded: "Indeed, these mountain spirits live in the mountains all year round and know the law of the jungle best. Who knows if they are good or bad?"

“At that time, we didn’t have much ability to protect ourselves. If they were to covet our life essence like in the stories, that would be bad.”

After saying that, Shen Ruwan asked again, "What do you plan to do with the mountain spirit you encountered this time?"

“Go back and report to your sect,” Shen Ruyin said. “That mountain spirit’s cultivation is above mine, so even if I see through his strangeness, I can’t act rashly.”

“But it’ll be fine once we’re back at our sect. We can ask them to send someone to investigate; that’s much safer.”

Shen Ruwan nodded and urged the spirit boat to quickly head towards the Supreme Sect.

They had originally planned to leave for only one or two days, but unexpectedly, they were delayed for two more days. Sect Leader Qian asked them a few questions, and Shen Ruyin took the opportunity to tell them about her encounter with the mountain spirit.

Sect Leader Qian's face darkened, but remembering that Shen Ruyin and the other two were still nearby, he told them to go back and rest first.

As Shen Ruyin went out, she overheard Sect Leader Qian instructing his newly returned eldest disciple to investigate the matter.

“This mountain spirit is really too bold to even dare to make a move, a disciple of my Supreme Sect.”

Shen Ruyin and her sister exchanged a glance, then neither listened any further.

Shen Ruwan originally asked Shen Ruyin to stay on the main peak today, but Shen Ruyin did not agree. After asking Yu Xing to deliver a letter to the Beast Taming Peak, she returned directly to the Broken Thought Peak.

At the end of the mountain path in Po Nian Peak, Chen Ling was standing.

Upon seeing Shen Ruyin return, Chen Ling's words revealed a hint of smugness: "I knew you would come back today."

"Master is amazing," Shen Ruyin complimented him, then leaned closer, "Master, can you predict everything accurately?"

Chen Ling paused for a moment, then admitted without any hesitation, "Of course."

Shen Ruyin said, "Then Master, can you teach me? I also want to be able to predict the future by counting on my fingers."

Looking at Shen Ruyin's expectant gaze, Chen Ling hesitated for a moment before saying, "This requires talent, and it's not always accurate. For an ordinary person, being accurate once or twice out of ten is already quite good."

Shen Ruyin said, "That's alright. There's a saying that goes, 'It's never a bad thing to have many skills.' It's always better to learn something than not to learn anything."

"And I think, if I'm wrong every time—who can say that this isn't accurate in another sense? Master, don't you think?"

Chen Ling had no choice but to agree.

Shen Ruyin cheered and pulled him inside by his sleeve, while also telling Chen Ling a few more words about her life these days.

“Master, I have a natal spirit beast named Yuxing, which is a very beautiful little fox.”

"I just sent it to deliver a message to Uncle Li. I will bring it to see you when it comes to Po Nian Peak another day."

Chen Ling had known about this for a long time, but it sounded a little different coming from Shen Ruyin.

Then, Shen Ruyin told Chenling about some of the things that happened during her trip.

Chen Ling knew that Shen Ruyin had some different thoughts on how she treated the village chief and her original blood relatives: "Since they treated you badly, why not settle your scores? What's the point of keeping them around?"

Shen Ruyin thought she had misheard these words.

“Master, it’s not a big deal,” Shen Ruyin advised him. “Besides, I don’t care about them.”

"They are irrelevant to me. Without my protection, it is not me who will suffer the loss, but themselves."

"Only by keeping them alive can they constantly regret their actions. If they are all gone, I will only accumulate more bloodshed and gain nothing in return. Why bother?"

Chen Ling stared at her for a moment, and seeing that she really didn't care much for those so-called blood relatives, she lowered her eyes and nodded: "I'll do as you say."

Chen Ling continued walking forward and said, "You've come back at just the right time. I've just gained some insights and am about to go into seclusion. I've entrusted your teachings to Sect Leader Qian and Peak Leader Li. If you have any questions, you can consult them."

"Oh," Shen Ruyin asked, "How long does Master plan to go into seclusion?"

"It could take anywhere from a few days to several years," Chen Ling said, seeing her puffed-up cheeks. "I'll try my best to finish your seclusion before you reach Foundation Establishment."

Shen Ruyin feigned happiness: "Then I'll wait until Master comes out of seclusion to teach me the divination lessons."

Chen Ling nodded in agreement, but after returning to her room, she pulled out a bunch of related books and threw them to Shen Ruyin, telling her to take a look when she had time.

The next morning, Shen Ruyin got up very early and watched as Chen Ling entered the cave and set up a restrictive formation before returning to her own cave.

Shen Ruyin had not originally planned to go into seclusion, but since she had already walked from the foot of the mountain to the cave, it seemed a bit unreasonable not to stay inside for a while.

The main point is that since we've come all this way, we can't just leave empty-handed.

Shen Ruyin used a talisman to send messages to her sister and Yu Xing, and also asked someone to prepare some supplies for her seclusion.

Just as she was waiting, there was a sudden commotion outside the cave.

When Shen Ruyin went outside, she saw Hong Qi holding Yu Xing by the scruff of her neck.

Upon seeing Shen Ruyin, Yu Xing chirped twice, her eyes brimming with tears, hoping that Shen Ruyin would come to rescue her.

Shen Ruyin couldn't stand its cuddling and quickly went over to hug it.

Hong Qi glanced at her child with a somewhat complicated expression and said, "Be a good boy and stay with Xing Luo to cultivate on Po Nian Peak. Don't run around."

Yu Xing stuck its tongue out at its mother, then turned and buried itself in Shen Ruyin's arms, refusing to show its face.

Seeing that Hongqi was about to change her expression, Shen Ruyin quickly hugged Yuxing tightly: "Aunt Hongqi, don't worry, I will take good care of Yuxing."

Hongqi believed her, but also added a word of advice: "It has always been mischievous, so don't spoil it too much."

Shen Ruyin nodded vigorously, like a rattle-drum: "Don't worry, Auntie. When I see you next time, Yu Xing and I will definitely have made some progress."

At this moment, in Hong Qi's eyes, Shen Ruyin was someone else's child, someone she adored.

"After you leave the pass, remember to come to Beast Taming Peak as soon as possible. Peak Master Li is thinking of you."

"She just doesn't say it, but she keeps saying that she hasn't finished teaching you the lesson yet."

Shen Ruyin smiled sweetly: "Thank you for thinking of me, Uncle Li. I will definitely go as soon as I finish my seclusion."

Hongqi was satisfied and didn't linger there. She turned and left without hesitation.

Yu Xing lifted her head from Shen Ruyin's arms, rolled around in the snow, and shook her fur, as if she had discovered a new world.

It looked at Shen Ruyin.
