Where is his huge storage bag?

Because of the word "opportunity," she was adopted by an old Taoist priest in her childhood and embarked on the path of cultivation.

Her master was a very interesting old man who raised her, taught her to understand reason, and distinguish good from evil.

To her, he was both a teacher and a father, so she couldn't be considered an orphan.

Empathize with Bai Ling? Can't empathize at all.

"Little System, what you said is wrong. I have a master. As the ancient saying goes, master is master, and master is father. How can you say I'm an orphan?" Bai Lan raised her hand and tapped the screen, refuting the system's wording with righteous indignation for the first time.

"Fine, I thought the host could analyze the inner world of the destined heroine through this," the system sighed from the other side of the screen.

Bai Lan closed her eyes and shook her head slightly, "I sympathize with her experiences in the first half of her life, but that doesn't mean what she did was correct. Besides, I should be sympathizing with myself right now."

On one hand, she had to deal with Long Aotian, and on the other, she had to handle Bai Ling.

The two destined children favored by the Heavenly Dao were impossible to kill. They were like lizards that could regrow their tails, making them even more troublesome to deal with.

Never mind, let's just treat them as two experience books with infinite resurrections. Bai Lan thought somewhat optimistically that she could endlessly gain combat experience.

"I think the host should sympathize with me more. If you don't complete the missions, I'll never get promoted," the system said mournfully.

Bai Lan chose to be deaf and continued to enjoy her bath.

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the cliff—

Long Aotian's sensational performance at the Spirit Testing Convention attracted enemies who wanted to eliminate him. After a life-or-death struggle, he jumped off the cliff under the instructions of his elder.

When he first opened his eyes, he felt as if something was covering his vision.

He reached out and grabbed it. Long Aotian looked closely and realized it was a red mandarin duck bellyband covering his face.

It looked so familiar. It seemed to be something from his Storage Bag...

His heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively reached for the Storage Bag at his waist.

It was empty.

??? Where was his Storage Bag?

His mind went blank. Long Aotian wanted to call out to the elder in his mind, but found that the elder had also fallen into a deep sleep.

He looked around, then suddenly stood up and rushed out of the house. After circling around, he fell into deep thought.

Around him were only a few bamboo houses, and nothing else.

There wasn't even a bed, cushion, table, or chairs left in the bamboo houses; it was as if they had been emptied.

Only useless things were left.

???

Didn't the elder say that the underground was an ancient cultivator's cave dwelling with a guaranteed inheritance?

Where was the inheritance? Where was his great inheritance?

Long Aotian fell into deep thought.

As the sky gradually brightened, a ray of morning light shone into the room through the paper window.

Bai Lan, who had been meditating all night, opened her eyes slightly and let out a long sigh.

Little progress.

She had Five Spirit Roots, which meant she had to pay five times the price of someone with Heavenly Spirit Roots to cultivate until all five types of spiritual energy filled her dantian before she could break through the bottleneck and enter Qi Refining level one.

She hadn't noticed it while meditating at the bottom of the cliff yesterday, but after changing locations today, she finally realized what it meant to have thin spiritual energy.

Wait, could there be something strange about the bottom of that cliff?

No wonder the elder's cave dwelling was set up at the bottom of the cliff. That place was probably one of the few places with abundant spiritual energy in the mortal world. It was precisely because of this that Bai Lan's Qi Induction had gone so smoothly yesterday.

"My lady, Madam asks you to go to the front courtyard," a little maidservant reported in a low voice from outside.

"I know."

Bai Lan responded and slowly stood up.

"The plot is starting, the plot is starting!" the system suddenly jumped out. "One of the plot points is that the destined heroine Bai Ling severs ties with the Bai family at this very moment!"

Bai Lan, who had stood up, sat back down and called back the little maidservant who was about to leave, "Wait, go tell Mother that I'm not feeling well and can't come."

The system: "..."

The little maidservant was stunned, "Is my lady ill? Should I call the imperial physician...?"

"No need," Bai Lan shook her head. She sat cross-legged again and closed her eyes.

"Host!!! You want to dodge the plot again!!!" the system exploded.

Bai Lan closed her eyes, "This is called emergency self-preservation."

However, before Bai Lan could enjoy a moment of peace, another problem arose.

The little maidservant, who had returned, panted and said, "My lady, this is bad! An immortal from the Azure Origin Sect has suddenly arrived at the front courtyard, saying... saying he wants to seek justice for the third daughter, forcing Master and Madam to kneel and apologize. If they don't apologize, he will... he will kill them!"

Bai Lan's eyes snapped open.

What is going on day after day? She hadn't even been in meditation for three seconds.

It would be reasonable for Minister Bai to kneel and apologize. This culprit, after visiting brothels and sleeping with dancers, had an improper affair that gave birth to Bai Ling. Minister Bai also neglected Bai Ling, so Bai Ling hating him was perfectly understandable.

But what did this have to do with Bai Lan? Bai Lan hadn't asked Minister Bai to visit brothels, nor had she asked him to neglect her.

What normal wife would have a good attitude towards her husband's child with another woman? Bai Ling's scope of hatred was too broad.

Bai Lan frowned, stood up, lifted the curtain, and strode out the door.

"Host! According to the plot prediction, this immortal elder from the Azure Origin Sect is most likely one of the destined female lead's romantic interests. He will fall in love with the female lead at first sight. He is a cultivator at the middle stage of Qi Refining and the first supporting character to show interest in the female lead."

The system chuckled sinisterly, "It must be because the host's malicious actions in avoiding the plot have caused the plot to develop in a worse direction~~~"

Bai Lan's expression turned displeased. "A cultivator with no sense of boundaries, falling in love at first sight and then meddling in other people's business just because he's bored and has status?"

"Exactly, exactly!" the system agreed.

Following her memory to the front yard, she saw a blue-robed cultivator standing condescendingly in the courtyard. He rubbed a ball of fire in his palm, which burned brightly. "All the suffering my junior sister endured in the past was caused by you two, wasn't it? Hmph."

Minister and his wife were merely mortals. Under the cultivator's pressure, they were already trembling with fear.

Bai Ling stood behind the blue-robed cultivator, her eyes filled with the joy of revenge.

The two people she had hated and found unreachable were now trembling before her, their lives in her hands.

This scene clearly pleased Bai Ling greatly.

"Suffering?" Bai Lan walked into the courtyard, looking at the scene before her, and chuckled. "Senior Brother, have you perhaps forgotten that Bai Manor has more than just Bai Ling as a mortal who has tested their spiritual roots?"

The blue-robed cultivator was startled and slowly retracted the fireball in his hand. "You are..."

"Senior Brother Le, don't bother with her. Her tested spiritual root is merely Five Spirit Roots. Even if she enters the cultivation world, it will be difficult for her to achieve great things," Bai Ling said, narrowing her eyes as she saw Bai Lan appear, speaking first to belittle Bai Lan.

Upon hearing the words "Five Spirit Roots," the blue-robed cultivator's expression softened, and he chuckled and shook his head.

"Even so, I am a disciple of the Azure Origin Sect. Senior Brother, for you to attack my parents in public, I fear it is inappropriate," Bai Lan said, shaking the identity jade token in her hand.

"Heh, Junior Sister, you jest. I am merely seeking justice for Junior Sister Ling'er. What do you mean by attacking?" the blue-robed cultivator remained unfazed.
