After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 65 Fairy Tales
That's great, a medicinal bath will save him!
Everyone was overjoyed, and the anxiety that had been hanging over them finally subsided.

Everyone was actually very worried about Mo Jiuwei's health, but they were afraid of hurting her feelings if they brought it up in front of her, so they were always very careful.

"I'll go ask around today; maybe there really is some kind of folk remedy," Liu Feng said.

Meng Ling was young and at an age where she couldn't keep secrets. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but lower her head and secretly purse her lips.

The "searching for people" was just a pretext; everyone knew the outcome was predetermined.

Sure enough, the next day, Liu Feng returned with good news, laughing heartily.

"Great! The alchemist I found actually has a folk remedy that says a medicinal bath can cure Jiuwei's condition! I've already bought the medicine. Du Yue, go and prepare it for Jiuwei to try."

Liu Feng handed the paper and medicine in his hand to Du Yue.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Du Yue glanced at it casually, pretending to look at it, and then turned to deal with the medicine.

Mo Jiuwei was dumbfounded.

【Huh? Really? There really is a folk remedy?】

Is this going to work? Could they have been scammed?

Where did you find this alchemist? Is he reliable? What if I have health problems after taking a medicinal bath?

Mo Jiuwei was starting to panic.

She does have her own methods, but these methods are definitely not common; very few people know about them.

It's not like Liu Feng could just go out and ask anyone and get the answer right away!

She felt that there was a higher chance she had been scammed.

[Well, everyone's just too concerned about me... As long as the prescription isn't poisonous, I'll just have to bear with it and let them give up, knowing it's useless.]

Mo Jiuwei was thinking to herself, unaware that everyone's gazes towards her were somewhat subtle.

A little while later, Du Yue prepared the medicinal bath and put it in a small wooden basin lined with a cloth to prevent her from bumping into it.

When Mo Jiuwei was brought closer, she twitched her little nose and gently sniffed the scent of the medicine—

[This smells like Demon's Root, and also Green Atractylodes... and even Sinking Grass?!]

【No way! We actually found the right one?】

Mo Jiuwei was completely devastated!

She never expected that this was actually the right prescription. She knew that as long as she persisted in soaking her legs every day, they would return to normal within a month.

The question is, where did they get this prescription?
[It's amazing that someone else has figured out this prescription just like me!]

[It's fate! It seems even God wants me to get back to normal soon!]

Okay, since that's the case, let's go to a bar.

Mo Jiuwei obediently allowed Chen Lan to carefully place her into the wooden tub, where her entire body was submerged. She closed her eyes, thoroughly enjoying the soaking process, without moving or struggling at all.

She knew the properties of this medicine; it was very mild at first, but would cause some pain later, which was the process of repairing damaged meridians and remodeling bones and muscles in her legs.

Enjoy it while it doesn't hurt yet.

Du Yue, now a pill refiner, naturally knew the properties of this medicine and that soaking in it for too long would cause pain. She was about to coax Mo Jiuwei by telling her about the potential pain, but after seeing her close her eyes and enjoy the experience, she fell silent.

Well, I know it myself, and Junior Sister Jiuwei knows it even more, so I don't need to tell her.

Let's comfort her properly when she's in pain.

Mo Jiuwei enjoyed a comfortable "bath" for half an hour, but after that half hour, a tingling, numb pain began to emanate from her body.

She groaned softly, without opening her eyes, but her brows were already furrowed.

"Is it starting to hurt? Sweetie, Senior Sister Du is holding you."

Du Yue opened her arms and wrapped them around Mo Jiuwei, letting Mo Jiuwei's head rest against her chest.

Chen Lan was already feeling sorry for her, and gently touched her head. "It might hurt a little. If it hurts, just cry."

Mo Jiuwei had no mind to think about anything else; she just endured the pain coming from her body. At first, it was a numb ache, but later it turned into a sharp, needle-like pain.

Mo Jiuwei felt alternating chills and fever, and the pain in her legs caused her to break out in a sweat.

The marks on her body weren't visible, but those on her head were very obvious. Chen Lan carefully wiped them off for her, then began to softly tell her a story to distract her.

"Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was not very bright. Her father remarried, and neither her father nor her mother loved her. She suffered a lot from a young age..."

Mo Jiuwei knew her intention and tried her best to focus on listening to the story.

The story is very simple and cliché. The female protagonist starts her life in hellish conditions from a young age, but she remains cheerful, optimistic and ambitious, and does not give up on herself because of her poor aptitude.

Later, she met an old man with a white beard. The old man gave her spiritual fruits and taught her better cultivation techniques. After the old man left, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. She not only became the number one in her family, but was also chosen by the number one sect to be her personal disciple.

Not only that, she was also noticed by a very outstanding senior disciple of the sect, and the two got married and had children. She even became the new sect leader.

Hmm... how should I put this story? It's probably a "fairy tale" for many children in the cultivation world. The difference is that girls hear stories with the female protagonist, while boys hear stories with the male protagonist.

However, Mo Jiuwei is a reincarnation of nine times, so she has a different perspective on this kind of story.

[Being outstanding is one thing, but why must one have a partner, and why must one have both sons and daughters?]

"Does not wanting to get married or have children mean my life isn't fulfilling?"

[Also, large sects aren't necessarily good. Whether it's a large sect or a large family, there are too many dirty tricks inside. I think the Immortal Sect is better.]

Instead of striving to join a major sect and gain their approval, it's much more fulfilling to cultivate your favorite sect into a major sect!

Chen Lan froze, and Du Yue's arm around Mo Jiuwei stiffened, almost causing her to slip down.

The two exchanged a glance, both looking shocked.

What Mo Jiuwei said... they had never thought of it before!
It seems that in everyone's mind, striving to cultivate oneself, raising one's realm, entering a major sect, finding an excellent Daoist partner, and having children would make one's life complete.

Even they themselves held this view in a conventional way, without even knowing why, they simply continued everyone else's ideas and made them their own.

Furthermore, the Immortal Sect was not strong, and even became a burden to everyone at one point. Although everyone would not leave the sect, they had fantasized about what would have happened if they had joined a more powerful sect instead of the Immortal Sect.
But Mo Jiuwei said—

Instead of joining a major sect, why not make your own sect a major sect?

This tone, this certainty, made them all a little dazed, feeling... that it might not be impossible after all!
