Chapter 1 Ninth Life

It was the coldest time of the year, with heavy snow and howling winds.

  Old Liu wrapped himself tightly in his old clothes, feeling that life was really hard.

  Their Xianlai Sect was declining day by day, and now they were almost unable to make ends meet, so naturally they had no robes to keep out the cold.

  If things continued like this, the whole sect might as well go out to beg for food, so they could sit in a row and ask for fruit.

  He sighed, and was about to go out to meet people, but he suddenly saw something on the steps.

  When he got closer, he saw that it was a baby's swaddling clothes!

  Old man Liu was shocked and had a bad feeling in his heart. When he saw clearly that the thing wrapped up was indeed a baby, his face sank and he put his hands on his hips and cursed,

  "Who is so heartless as to throw the baby away? It's so cold, this will cost someone's life! Bah!"

  He was helpless and furious for a while, but when he saw that the baby was blue all over from the cold, with his eyes closed and breathing weakly, he did not care that he was too poor to eat, so he unbuttoned his coat, wrapped the baby tightly, and brought him back to the sect.

  "Uncle Liu, you're back... What are you holding?"

  "Oh my god, how could there be a child!"

  "Uncle Liu, you actually have an illegitimate child? I can't believe you're still as good as ever..."

  "Bullshit! Shut up, I picked up this baby outside the sect! I don't know which black-hearted ghost gave birth to a baby without raising it, it's a thing that deserves to be struck by lightning!"

  "Let me see, it's a little girl, is she unconscious?"

  "Ah--"

  someone exclaimed, "She, she seems to have defects!"

  Because the girl's legs were obviously not right, especially below the calves, the muscles looked atrophied and a little twisted.

  Everyone was silent for a moment, and then became even more angry--

  "So they saw that the child was disabled, so they threw him away, what kind of parents are such people, bah!"

  "What a sin."

  So noisy...

  Mo Jiuwei opened her eyes.

  The technique she practiced was called "Nine Transformations of Heaven and Earth", which required practicing to the Great Perfection first, and then reincarnating nine times through nine different lives. During this process, she could not commit suicide to force an interruption. After successfully completing it, she could successfully ascend.

  This technique is not only precious, but also extremely difficult to practice. The reason why Mo Jiuwei chose it is that she knew that after practicing it, she would be very powerful, far surpassing the monks who had ascended to heaven at the same time.

  So far, she has been reincarnated eight times, and only this last time is left for her to ascend to heaven.

  Those eight times were really full of twists and turns, which made her a little exhausted. She hoped that she could lie down easily in this life and spend a happy life eating and drinking.

  I don't know what kind of family she was born into this time?

  When she opened her eyes, she met a face as wrinkled as dry bark——

  [Ah, tree spirit! ]

  Old man Liu, who was looking closely at the baby, was puzzled.

  Who made this childish voice?

  He looked around and finally cast his eyes on the baby.

  There were adults all around, only this baby, but...she could speak?

  [No, it's not a tree spirit, it's an old man. ]

  [Isn't...this place so poor? It seems that it's difficult to lie down in this life. ]

  She didn't open her mouth!

  But, this tone does sound like something she would "say"!

  When Old Man Liu was shocked, he didn't notice that the few remaining disciples of Xianlai Sect were also staring at the baby as if they had seen a ghost, and they didn't come back to their senses for a while.

  [So cold... so hungry...]     This body seemed extremely weak, and even her powerful soul could not support it.

  These words instantly sobered Old Man Liu. He didn't have time to think about why he heard such a strange voice. He waved his hand quickly, "Quick, get some food to feed the baby, and some clothes. She has been freezing outside for a long time, and her body must not be able to bear it."

  The others also came to their senses -

  "Such a small baby can't eat anything else, so she can only drink milk, right?"

  "There's no one here who can feed her milk, right? Clothes are easy, put her on the bed and cover her with a quilt."

  "The quilt is too thick, it might crush her, so use my Jiaoguangjin, it's the best at keeping out the cold."

  "Senior Sister Ji, this is your only cassock..."

  "What's the point of keeping a cassock? You should take care of the child's life first."

  "I thought of it. People don't have milk, but deer do! The spiritual deer of the Yu family in the city gave birth to a fawn more than a month ago. Its milk can definitely be used!"

  "Then go and borrow some quickly, and remember to come back quickly!"

  "The child's face is blue from the cold. I'll give her some spiritual power, don't let her die."

  "You have to go slowly. She is too young. I am afraid her body cannot bear too much spiritual energy."

  "I know. It will come little by little."

  "Then I will make her a dress... But it seems that there is no new material. I will find an old dress."

  "Sister Chen, use mine. Although my dress is not new, it is very soft and suitable for a little baby to wear."

  "I will feed her some warm water. Just fill her stomach first."

  Mo Jiuwei listened to the busy voices of people around her, and a warm current passed through her heart.

  Although this life started a little poor, at least the people around her were kind and loving to her. This kind of warmth seemed to be more than in the previous lives.

  Putting down her heart, Mo Jiuwei felt sleepy and fell asleep.

  When she woke up, she heard quarrels.

  "You don't pay back the crystals you owe. Pah, you Xianlai Sect are really a nest of snakes and rats. Why don't you close the sect quickly? You're occupying the mountain gate for nothing. Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself?"

  "Friend Zheng! Please be merciful. We will definitely pay back the two hundred crystals we owe you. It's just that the time we agreed on hasn't come yet. Why are you..."

  "I borrowed the money and I can take it back whenever I want! I don't care whether you sell off the sect's property or rob Peter to pay Paul. Anyway, I have to get my crystals back today!"

  "Friend Zheng, why are you so aggressive! When our Xianlai Sect was still able to maintain its existence, you often came to us to ask for talismans and talisman papers. We have never asked you for crystals for the sake of our friendship..."

  "This is a different time. At that time, you didn't ask me, so naturally I didn't owe you anything. But now that I'm asking for it, you have to pay it back!"

  "You!" "

  Xiao Lan! Stop it. Friend Zheng, it's not that we don't want to pay it back. It's just that we are short of money now. Please give us a few more days..."

  [What's going on? A dignified sect can't even pay back 200 crystal stones?]

  Mo Jiuwei was stunned.

  When she had this thought, she didn't notice that the noise outside had become quiet, and then someone walked towards her bed.

  "Ah, the baby is awake."

  A face as white as a silver plate, graceful and generous, came into view, and then Mo Jiuwei felt her body lighten, and was held in someone's arms.

  Du Yue, who was holding Mo Jiuwei, looked at her curiously, and saw that the baby's eyes were round like black grapes, and they were dark and bright, clean and dust-fre
