Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

After discussing the dowry, Teng Jiaheng didn't stay long and soon took his leave.

"Jiamu, before your cousin left, give her the recipe for making the bait."

"Okay, I'll find an opportunity to give it to her." Teng Jiamu nodded. He was a smart man and understood his wife's thoughts. She wanted to maintain good relations with some powerful families and use marriage as an excuse to not appear overly obsequious but to increase her own standing.

"If you have someone in your family whom you wish to repay, you may release some of the Zixian Grass as appropriate."

Teng Jiamu shook his head: "There is no one in my family who is worthy of my offering of a sacred medicine in gratitude."

"You should weigh it yourself. After all, I already gave one to the Ling family." Shu Zhiyi didn't want Teng Jiamu to feel it was unfair.

"My lady, the Ling family's Zixian Grass is for buying lives, that's different. I'm not stupid." Teng Jiamu smiled with his eyes crinkling. My lady gave the Ling family elders the sacred medicine for the sake of Ling Anran and her father's lives. If something happened to them, the Zixian Grass would be used to buy the two Ling family elders to suppress the matter, whether it was the Ling family or the Wen family.

"My Jiamu is the smartest. It's late, time to go to sleep."

On the bed, Teng Jiamu's hand reached out. At first, Shu Zhiyi didn't pay attention and let him be intimate, but his actions...

"What are you doing? We just did it last night. It's not good for you to keep doing this." Shu Zhiyi pressed his hand down.

"My lady, hmm~, are you happy today~"

"But,"

"It's okay if it happens once in a while. Just eat something nourishing tomorrow."

"Okay." Shu Zhiyi released his hand.

......

Next, the Ling family's auxiliary spirit masters came to learn how to craft remote communication spirit artifacts, followed by the Hong and Teng families to learn how to craft explosive and passive defense spirit artifacts.

Both groups of spirit masters were shocked by Shu Zhiyi's refining method. Shu Zhiyi had told them in advance: they should time it themselves. When she was refining, she didn't need to time it; she relied entirely on her intuition.

A few days later, the auxiliary spirit masters who came to learn were all taken back by their respective masters. Shu Zhi met the leader of the first hunting team of the Chuxin Sect, who was also the hall master of one of the branches.

"Master Xu, you've been waiting for a long time."

"Miss Shu, you're too kind. We just arrived too." The place we arranged to meet Chu Xinzong was a private room in a restaurant.

Once everyone had arrived and the food was served, the two groups exchanged pleasantries and probed each other's intentions. The person from the Chuxin Sect spoke first: "We've heard that Miss Shu is from one of our sect's subordinate branches?"

"Yes, to my shame, a few months ago, I was an orphan with no spiritual power, tricked by my aunt. I was in a very sorry state when I ran away from home."

"Miss Shu has actually turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise."

Shu Zhiyi shook her head. Who would want such good fortune? The original owner of this body was truly dead.

"Let's not beat around the bush, the Initial Heart Sect is after those few spiritual artifacts, right?" Shu Zhiyi deliberately gave them this information, so of course they're after the spiritual artifacts.

"Yes, the Chuxin Sect wants to purchase a batch from Miss Shu." Their sect isn't very large, and can't compare to the foundation of the major families, so they spoke very cautiously, without even mentioning cooperation.

"Master Xu must also know that the Ling family and the Hong family have already arrived in Qing Shi City. I married the young masters of the Ling family and the Teng family. As for in-laws, they have the advantage of being close to the source, and they have already acquired the methods for refining several spiritual artifacts."

"Is Miss Shu selling the refining method?"

"My current foundation is weak, and I don't have the ability to refine on a large scale. Only by releasing the refining method can I maximize my profits."

"Does Miss Shu have any other unreleased magical artifacts?"

"You can have it if you want to."

"Then, when the time comes, I hope Ms. Shu will give me the opportunity to cooperate."

"Putting aside the cooperation for now, I'd like to make a deal with the Original Heart Sect."

"What kind of deal?"

"One spot in the Hong family's hunting team, one Zixian grass, I want Linfeng Town and Linshui Village."

Master Xu's breathing quickened; this deal was far too big.

"Miss Shu, this is a very important matter, and I need to discuss it with the sect."

"No rush," Shu Zhiyi said calmly. She didn't necessarily want that town and village. Her main goal was to deal with the original owner's aunt and those families who broke off the engagement for personal gain.

She liked to stand on high and casually decide their fate, but there were other ways.

However, the Chuxin Sect made a quick decision. When the news was sent back, the sect leader agreed. They would exchange two small, insignificant territories for an opportunity to get in touch with the Hong family, as well as a sacred herb. There was nothing to hesitate about.

Linfeng Town and Linshui Village were established decades ago when the Chuxin Sect first expanded. At that time, they expanded outward from the sect as the center. Two disciples led the team too far, and coincidentally, they both had rule stones bestowed by the gods.

The expansion of the core territory of the Initial Heart Sect was very slow, and some accidents occurred along the way, which made it difficult for them to take care of these two remote territories. However, they could not give up the place where the gods bestowed the rule stone, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and send people to guard and maintain the formation.

Now that such great benefits can be exchanged for these two places, the sect leader must act quickly.

While the Chuxin Sect was relaying messages back and forth, the two elders of the Ling family directly took Ling Anran out of the City Lord's Mansion and announced the news that Ling Zi'an was in charge of Qing Shi City.

Ling Zian moved into the City Lord's Mansion and began the handover of power. He worshipped the Heavenly God and had his name imprinted on the City Lord's register in the Heavenly God Temple. After that, he gradually sent some of the City Lord's Mansion's subordinates back to the Ling family's main residence.

The Ling brothers were extremely busy.

Shu Zhiyi unexpectedly encountered Ling Anran.

"Shu Zhiyi, I underestimated you!"

"Miss Ling, you flatter me. I just don't like being forced." Shu Zhiyi noticed that although she looked somewhat frustrated, she wasn't particularly dejected.

This is the advantage of having a way out and someone to back you up. Ling Anran did not think that a temporary setback meant she could never recover.

"Hahaha, just you wait and see. I don't care about Qing Shi City, but I won't let it fall into the hands of lowly people like you."

"But it ended up in our hands."

"I hope you can hold on."

"Whether we can hold it or not is not important; what matters is that we snatched it from your hands."

"You," Ling Anran raised her hand.

"Miss Ling, are you sure you can hit me?" Shu Zhiyi didn't dodge. Ling Anran was a low-ranking martial spirit master, but the passive defensive spirit artifact she possessed was not to be underestimated.

Both of them had subordinates behind them. Ling Anran's subordinate whispered a few words in her ear, and she gritted her teeth, put down her hand, and turned to leave.

Shu Zhiyi went to the city lord's mansion that very night. Ling Ziyu was so happy she almost jumped up: "My wife, my wife, you've come! This is the first time you've come since I became the city lord. Let me tell you, I've decorated a really beautiful courtyard. In a few days, I'll transplant the plants that you planted here."

"Really? Let me see. Where's Zi'an?"

"I'm busy, but I'll be home for dinner tonight, my wife. I've asked the kitchen to prepare something delicious. What would you like to eat?"

"Let's cook some fish."
