Just as Mu Qianyue was taken aback, a disdainful and dismissive voice came from behind her.
Turning around, she saw a boy in blue, about ten years old, with his arms crossed, looking at her with disdain. His slightly arched eyes were filled with disgust, yet it didn't detract from his beauty; instead, it added a touch of wild arrogance. What surprised Mu Qianyue was that the boy had a head of dazzling blue hair, cascading down his back like a waterfall, much like a spirit mistakenly wandering into the mortal world, beautiful enough to steal one's soul and breath!
Oh my gosh! A little fresh meat!
That face is absolutely otherworldly!
Hearing the boy's last sentence, Mu Qianyue's face darkened. Even a little brat who hasn't even grown all his hair is daring to bully her now!
Grinding her teeth, "Kid, watch your words."
"No wisdom, no body, I really wonder what the Heaven-Reaching Tower sees in you."
"Looks like you need a good beating!" Mu Qianyue charged forward and pinned him down.
"Smack!" Her hand slapped loudly on his butt.
"Ahhh! Ugly woman, how dare you hit my... hit my...," the boy in blue shouted, his face turning bright red with shame.
"Still so mouthy, seems like the force wasn't strong enough." Mu Qianyue grinned mischievously and continued to slap down, hitting his butt.
"You ugly woman, let me go! Or I'll make you pay!"
"Smack, smack, smack..."
"If I hadn't just awakened and my aura wasn't so weak, I'd definitely kill you..."
This was absolutely the shame of his life! In all his years, no one had ever dared to spank him!
"Smack, smack, smack!" The spanking continued.
"Let me go... oomph..."
Indeed, after getting spanked, the boy in blue was much more obedient, not as arrogant in speech. However, his eyes were shimmering with tears, almost crying.
"..." Mu Qianyue awkwardly rubbed her chin, feeling like she was bullying a child, and so she gave an embarrassed laugh, "Alright, don't be mad, getting angry will cause wrinkles, you know. Now quickly tell me where this place is and what's up with the Heaven-Reaching Tower?"
She remembered the masked man also mentioned the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
"My name is Tianshuo, I'm the Artifact Spirit of the Heaven-Reaching Tower. It's your blood and spiritual power that unlocked the seal of the Heaven-Reaching Tower, thus recognizing you as its master. The Heaven-Reaching Tower is an ancient Divine Artifact, possessing power formidable enough to destroy heaven and earth. It is divided into nine levels, and this is the first level within its space. Since your strength is too weak, you can currently only access the first level. As your strength increases, the accessible levels of the Heaven-Reaching Tower will also increase."
Through Tianshuo's explanation, Mu Qianyue finally understood what was going on. It turns out the Heaven-Reaching Tower had been sealed inside her all along, and because of this seal, the original owner of this body couldn't cultivate, becoming known as a waste among people!
And the original owner of this body was unexpectedly killed, and it was her blood, merging with her spiritual power upon transmigrating, that unlocked the Heaven-Reaching Tower, leading to that miraculous scene of deadwood blooming again!
Who could have sealed the Heaven-Reaching Tower within her body? That masked man could see at a glance that the Heaven-Reaching Tower's seal was lifted, looks like he's not simple at all!
After pondering for a long time without understanding, she simply decided not to think about it and looked up, her gaze falling maliciously on Tianshuo, "So that means I'm your master now?"
Seeing her fox-like eyes, Tianshuo couldn't help but shiver, hugging his chest, "So what if you are? Let me tell you, ugly woman, don't you dare think... I, I won't submit!"
"Pfft!" Mu Qianyue couldn't help but laugh, "Do you think I want to do something to you? Look at you, haven't even fully grown your hair, I doubt that thing is big either, what good would it be?"
"You... you shameless! Are you even a woman, to say such... such shameless things?!" Tianshuo was so angry his face turned red, his whole body trembling. After taking several deep breaths, he gradually calmed down, "Forget it, as a bigger person, I won't stoop to your level as a shallow woman."
"Huh?" Suddenly, Tianshuo's gaze fell on the ring on Mu Qianyue's right index finger, his face full of shock as he said, "The Life Ring?! Why do you have the Life Ring on your hand?"
"What Life Ring?" Mu Qianyue frowned in confusion, looking at the ring on her hand. It seemed this ring wasn't ordinary, or else Tianshuo wouldn't be so shocked.
"The Life Ring is an ancient Divine Artifact, representing the Wood Element in the Five Elements, known as Life Qi, capable of reviving all things to spring, even bringing the dead back to life. The wearer not only has a cultivation speed more than twice as fast as average people but also has the effect of healing and tempering veins. I thought the Life Ring had disappeared from this world, but I didn't expect it to be in your hands," Tianshuo said.
After hearing Tianshuo's explanation, Mu Qianyue was stunned for quite a while; this ring is that amazing! That masked man actually gave her something so important!
Recalling what he had said before, she increasingly felt he must know her!
"What do you mean by bringing the dead back to life?" Mu Qianyue asked excitedly.
"Inside the Life Ring is endless Life Qi; it can bring dead wood to life, so naturally, it can also revive the dead. However, your current strength is too weak; if you can use the Life Qi on the first layer of the Life Ring, that's already impressive. Don't think about anything else. How did you get the Life Ring?"
Damn!
Mu Qianyue instantly felt deflated like a balloon; strength, oh strength!
"It was given to me by someone else. I don't know his purpose, and he even knows I unlocked the Heaven-Reaching Tower's seal," her voice deep and tinged with coldness.
"Your current situation is precarious, even though now along with the Heaven-Reaching Tower, also me, is a soul contract. If you die, the Heaven-Reaching Tower becomes ownerless, and anyone can obtain it," Tianshuo's blue eyes revealed a deep seriousness.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qianyue's face also turned cold and murderous.
"It's all because your strength is too weak, if not, why worry? Sigh... since you're my master, I can't just watch you die. Our glory is shared, our loss mutual," Tianshuo sighed, scrutinizing Mu Qianyue from head to toe with a disdainful look in his eyes, "This is Spirit Summoning Liquid for washing muscles and cutting marrow; not only can it heal scars, but it can cleanse you of all that pig dung, transforming you completely into a human form. Your strength is pitifully weak, hurry up and cultivate!"
With a wave of Tianshuo's sleeve, a small jade bottle fell into Mu Qianyue's hand.
Pig dung? He dares call her a pig!
"You..." Mu Qianyue had just started to speak when a white light flashed before her eyes, and before she could react, she was kicked out of the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
Thud!
She fell heavily onto the bed, a sharp pain shooting up from her butt.
Mu Qianyue rubbed her sore butt, grimacing, damn, that kid definitely did it on purpose!
Looking down at the jade bottle in her hand, washing the marrow and cutting the bones?
Might as well try it, let's see how effective it is.
In the vast Bright Moon Garden, there wasn't even a servant girl; helplessly, Mu Qianyue had to fetch hot water herself and filled the bathtub with warm water.
Shutting the door, she poured the Spirit Summoning Liquid into the tub, and the once-clear water slowly turned emerald green, like top-grade jade.
A faint fragrance wafted in the air, very pleasant.
Undressing, Mu Qianyue slipped in, and immediately, a cool yet warm stream flowed over her, penetrating her body through her skin, nurturing her veins, bones, and cells...
Wow! So comfortable!
It felt like being on a cloud, as if every cell, every inch of skin, was breathing, and even those fiery wounds no longer hurt! Simply marvelous!
