The Ice Master's Plan! Xiao Yi Xian's Act

"One chapter?"

"Just one chapter?"

"Can you even do this? If you can't, stop writing."

While Xiao Yi Xian was perfecting her plan, Cao Ying was tearing her hair out in the Pill Tower.

For some time now, there had been ten chapters every day. Today, she had only seen one. How was that supposed to satisfy her?

She was a very greedy woman.

"I'm going to criticize you."

[Continent's Number One Alchemist]: The Light Boat Has Passed Ten Thousand Mountains, I'm criticizing you here under my real name. Who are you writing one chapter for? If you can't afford to write, then don't. I can afford to read! (And you, Great Thousand World's Number One Alchemist, do you dare give your name? Let's see how we measure up.)

Cao Ying was once again the first to post a book review.

Seeing what she had written, some of the women who did not want to speak for the time being chose to give her a like, treating it as a way to build goodwill.

If they wrote book reviews in the future, they might get likes too. This concerned the rewards from the diary copy, although they did not know what those rewards were or whether they were any good.

[Great Thousand World's Number One Alchemist]: I was going to give you a like. Those words struck a chord with me, but what you added afterward displeased me. I dare reveal my identity; I'm just afraid you wouldn't dare hear it. Such a crude attempt at provocation won't make me foolishly expose myself.

"Tch, you're just a coward." Cao Ying curled her lip, an odd glint flashing in her eyes.

The woman's confidence did not seem feigned.

Could it be Dan Chen, that woman who looked so gentle and frail on the surface?

It might just be a contrast.

Unfortunately, she could only comment or give a like once a day. Otherwise, she would have drawn more information out of her.

[Ice Master]: Eldest Senior Sister, Third Senior Sister, I'm also still in reincarnation, in a special place. I should be in the same place as you, Eldest Senior Sister. It's the secret that allows Reincarnation Stage experts from our continent to reincarnate.

The Ice Master spoke again, successfully drawing the women's attention.

"Our continent?"

"Reincarnation Stage experts!?"

Medusa, Huo Zhi, and the other women from the Dou Qi Continent studied those words closely.

Clearly, the Ice Master was not from the Dou Qi Continent, yet she had still obtained a diary copy.

Moreover, the cultivation path on that continent had a "Reincarnation Stage," which seemed to allow people to enter the cycle of reincarnation after death rather than simply perish.

As they worked this out, deep puzzlement arose in their hearts.

Why had this person revealed information about her continent so openly, without any guard?

"The Light Boat Has Passed Ten Thousand Mountains, the diary."

On the Tian Xuan Continent, an endless void away from the Dou Qi Continent, there was a special region shrouded in Supreme Power.

A peerlessly beautiful woman sat cross-legged within it, wisdom and resolve flickering in her azure eyes.

She was the Ice Master, one of the Eight Ancient Masters of this world and a disciple of the Symbol Ancestor.

During the ancient war, the Symbol Ancestor had personally sent her into reincarnation, hoping to preserve as much of her strength and innate spirituality as possible.

She should have "awakened" when her cultivation reached the Profound Life and Death Stage.

Yet now, she had awakened during the process of reincarnation.

It was all because of the diary copy.

"Teacher said that I wasn't born on this continent."

"Only by reincarnating once and acquiring the imprint of a living being of this world would I have a chance to reach greater heights, or help someone else do so."

"Teacher came from the Great Thousand World, yet even he couldn't let people communicate across continents."

The Ice Master thought that the diary or its owner was very powerful.

Perhaps the owner was one of the top experts her teacher had spoken of, someone who could cross continents.

If she could draw such an expert's attention and have them descend upon the Tian Xuan Continent, wiping out the Yimo Clan should be as easy as turning over a hand.

By revealing a little information about the Tian Xuan Continent in this regard, the opportunity far outweighed the risk.

[Life and Death Master]: Junior Sister, it really is you. I should be in the same place as you, but I can't sense you. Tell me what we should do tomorrow.

[Darkness Master]: Eldest Senior Sister, Junior Sister, I didn't enter reincarnation. I'm suppressing a demon prison. Tell me when you've reincarnated, and I'll help you quickly recover your strength.

[Great Solar Undying Body] gave a like.

"How nice, I got so many likes again."

Cao Ying smiled in satisfaction and reached out to pat the diary copy, anticipation in her eyes.

Just after midnight, a surge of energy poured out of the diary copy, noticeably increasing her soul power.

This should be the diary copy reward settled after she had shared what she sensed the previous day and received a large number of likes and book reviews.

The feeling was a little addictive, and she wanted to experience it a few more times.

The night passed without incident, and morning arrived.

As usual, Ye Qingzhou ate the breakfast Ye Xinlan brought him, then began instructing her in the cultivation of the Crimson Flame Bodhi Scripture.

Meanwhile, Qingshan Town was bustling.

The Myriad Medicine Pavilion had announced that Xiao Yi Xian would once again lead a herb-gathering team into the mountains.

A team was being assembled, led by the young leader of the Wolf Head Mercenary Group and supplemented by a group of independent mercenaries.

Once everything was ready, the whole team set off into the mountains. Along the way, they encountered some rank-one magical beasts, all of which the mercenaries joined forces to deal with.

"Everyone, we're close to the herb-gathering area now. Thank you for all your hard work fighting along the way. Let's stop and rest for a while."

Xiao Yi Xian's gentle voice rang out among the trees near a cliff.

Along the way, the mercenary group had encountered five or six waves of magical beasts and suffered casualties.

Xiao Yan, who carried a heavy ruler on his back, had also fought, displaying considerable strength.

"Everyone, take a rest."

Xiao Yi Xian clearly carried a great deal of authority. The mercenaries passed her words along, and even the Wolf Head Mercenary Group cooperatively stopped to rest where they were.

Of course, some restless mercenaries began exploring the surroundings, hoping to find medicinal herbs of decent quality that they could take back and exchange for money.

Xiao Yan was among them. He walked through the small, dense woods nearby, and before long, he emerged from the area and came to a steep cliff.

Below the cliff stretched a lush green forest, a rather beautiful sight.

Xiao Yan swept his gaze along the edge of the cliff, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He stepped toward a plant bearing a pale white flower in full bloom.

A crimson fruit was faintly visible within the pale white flower, giving off a faint medicinal fragrance.

"White Orchid Fruit!"

Xiao Yan had not expected such good luck. He crouched slightly and picked the fruit.

But the next moment, he felt a chill rise behind him. He instinctively put his hand on the heavy ruler and turned around.

Before him stood the young woman whom the mercenaries of Qingshan Town revered as a goddess. Today, she wore a pure white dress, and her bearing was indeed extraordinary.

At this moment, however, the young woman held a dagger in her hand and was looking at him with a complicated expression.

"Miss Xiao Yi Xian, are you going to snatch this fruit?" Xiao Yan weighed the White Orchid Fruit in his hand, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

If Xiao Yi Xian wanted to snatch the White Orchid Fruit, would he choose to compromise or use a ruthless hand to crush the flower?

If he chose to use a ruthless hand to crush the flower, those mercenaries would likely all turn on him.

This fruit did not seem worth such a risk.

In that case, he would hand over the fruit and find a way to get revenge later.

But the next moment, he heard Xiao Yi Xian say, "It's just a White Orchid Fruit. Naturally, it belongs to whoever found it first."

"Stop pretending. You found the entrance to the treasure cave beneath the cliff, didn't you?"

Xiao Yan: ???

What did I find!?
