Mu Xi pressed the jade slip containing the cultivation technique against her forehead. Before long, the entire cultivation technique was stored in her mind.
Then she opened a hidden compartment at the side of the shelf and took out a jade bottle.
A Marrow Cleansing Pill!
Mu Xi poured one out and swallowed it directly, then went to the creek, took off her clothes, and entered the water.
Under the dual cleansing of the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the spiritual spring water, all the impurities in Mu Xi’s body were thoroughly expelled. Aside from the smell being genuinely unpleasant, it wasn’t nearly as painful as novels made it sound, with people rolling all over the ground in agony.
About half an hour later, Mu Xi scrubbed herself clean several times, moving from downstream to upstream, before finally emerging from the creek.
By this point, Mu Xi could no longer be compared to how she had looked before.
Her skin was so fair it seemed to glow, her features had become more defined and sculpted, and her figure had grown curvaceous in all the right places. With long, straight legs and a full bosom, she was an absolute beauty.
“Tsk. I wonder which guy will get lucky enough to have me in the future. He’ll be ridiculously blessed~”
She lowered her head and gave herself a couple of satisfied pats.
It just…
Made her seem kind of like a pervert.
After getting dressed, she felt how light her entire body had become, along with the sense of comfort that seemed to radiate from her very bones. She unconsciously stretched and let out a contented sigh.
“I wonder how much time has passed outside. I’d better go out and check. But before I leave, I need to properly conceal this beauty of mine that simply has nowhere to hide…”
After rummaging around the wooden cabin for quite some time, she finally found a Disguise Pill. This pill could alter one’s appearance according to one’s thoughts.
In other words, she could make herself look however she wanted.
Its effects lasted for three days.
Mu Xi planned to change her appearance little by little until she no longer needed to take the Disguise Pill. Otherwise, if her appearance changed too drastically all at once, wouldn’t that be practically announcing to everyone that there was something wrong with her?
When she emerged from the space, there was still no one home. Looking at the time, it was about time to prepare dinner.
Mu Xi thought for a moment, washed some rice, and prepared to cook a pot of congee. While she was at it, she reheated the remaining mixed-flour corn buns from the cupboard.
Mm. For now, she was still a complete novice at cooking, so there was no way for her to show off her skills.
Sitting in front of the stove, she absentmindedly added firewood while lost in thought.
Her mind inevitably drifted to the Ji clan.
How had the Ji clan’s supreme treasure ended up in her mother’s hands?
Even if her mother was a descendant of the Ji clan, why would the clan’s supreme treasure have been passed down to a woman?
She didn’t mean that she looked down on women.
Rather, from the perspective of a clan like the Ji clan, which had been passed down for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, as long as there was even one male descendant left in the family, the treasure would never have been passed down to a woman.
After all, women would marry out of the family.
Men were the ones who carried on the family line.
So, had her mother been the last surviving member of the Ji clan?
But how could the Ji clan, which possessed a supreme treasure like this space, have fallen to such a state?
Perhaps there was another possibility.
The Ji clan had actually been destroyed long ago, while the spatial treasure had changed hands over thousands of years before eventually ending up with her.
And she just happened to carry the Ji clan’s bloodline.
This…
Mu Xi didn’t know what to say.
If she had to put it into words, there was only one thing she could say: Everything had worked out for the best!
If she hadn’t transmigrated here, the original owner would have given this treasure to the female lead. But since the female lead didn’t possess the Ji clan’s bloodline, she could only use it as a storage space.
What a terrible waste of a heavenly treasure~
Just as she was deeply absorbed in her thoughts, Jiang Yun’s voice came from the doorway.
“Oh, Xixi, you’re cooking?”
Mu Changhong was following behind her, carrying a bag in one hand and holding Mu You’s hand with the other. The moment the little guy entered the house, he abandoned his father and ran straight toward Mu Xi.
“You’re back from work? I made congee and reheated the corn buns. Mom, you’ll still have to cook the dishes.”
“I’ll do it, I’ll do it. Xixi, hurry and go rest.”
Jiang Yun swiftly put down her handbag, washed her hands, and then walked into the kitchen.
