The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop

This is a Cultivation World where strength reigns supreme. The largest powers in the Cultivation World are the Five Great Sects: Wanhe Sect, Tianfeng Sect, Piaomiao Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, and Lingxin Sect. And beneath them are countless small and medium Sects. The number of cultivators is immense.

And the shared pursuit and desire of all cultivators is Ascension.

Only, all these years, not a single person has ascended successfully.

Right now, there are three mighty figures in this world who have the greatest hope of ascending: first, Wanhe Sect’s Supreme Elder Cao Yuanli; second, Tianfeng Sect’s Third Elder Lu Chengbai; third, Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sect Leader Gongsun Ming.

...

There was a genius young girl named Li Suyi, with delicate beauty, keen intellect, and exceptionally fine aptitude.

In this year’s disciple recruitment assessment of Wanhe Sect, she performed extraordinarily well and was chosen by Qinghua Peak’s Peak Master Cao Xilan to be her Closed-door Disciple.

All the new disciples were full of envy.

Who was Cao Xilan?

She was Cao Yuanli’s only daughter! Cao Yuanli, that mighty figure who was extremely likely to ascend.

Li Suyi had just entered Wanhe Sect and already had such a powerful backing. And Qinghua Peak received the most cultivation resources every month out of all the peaks in Wanhe Sect. There was no helping it—she was the Supreme Elder’s daughter. Even the Sect Master would have to bow when he saw the Supreme Elder.

Everyone thought Li Suyi had soared to the heavens in a single step.

Then what happened next left everyone utterly shocked.

At first, Li Suyi’s Spirit Root test showed she had a single-line Water Spirit Root, but the test result was wrong—she was not a Water Spirit Root, but a mutated Ice Spirit Root. This was a rare Spirit Root that only appeared once in a thousand years. Given time, Li Suyi was destined to become another powerhouse, another trump card of Wanhe Sect.

Yet the development that followed was beyond everyone’s expectations.

Because she was jealous of Li Suyi’s talent and looks, Cao Xilan directly gouged out her Spirit Root, ruined her face, and then expelled her from Wanhe Sect!

When everyone first heard this news, they all thought it had to be fake, right?

Was there some kind of misunderstanding?

Turns out, it was real!

Cao Xilan was just that insane, that utterly unscrupulous!

The new disciples didn’t know Cao Xilan’s nature, so when Li Suyi was accepted as her disciple, they didn’t notice the worry and sympathy in the eyes of those Elders and senior disciples.

Cao Xilan had been spoiled, willful, vicious, and ruthless since childhood. Her aptitude was mediocre yet she was intensely jealous, and she had always suppressed and framed any disciples who were more gifted than she was. But because her father was the Supreme Elder, in the end all those incidents were smoothed over. As for how they were smoothed over—those with good luck got some compensation; those with bad luck could only swallow the grievance. The lighter cases left injuries that could still heal; the heavier ones damaged their Spirit Roots and affected their future cultivation. But who could they go to for justice? Even the Sect Master treated this Supreme Elder with courtesy, even with fear and flattery.

Many of the evil deeds Cao Xilan committed as a child were cleaned up by her father. After she grew up, she did not restrain herself in the slightest. Instead, she became even more excessive, just learning to cover it up a little.

Most people in Wanhe Sect knew what kind of person Cao Xilan was, but the new disciples did not.

Li Suyi was beautiful and gifted—especially after it was discovered that she had an Ice Spirit Root. Because of her Spirit Root, her skin became like snow, making her even more beautiful.

This ignited Cao Xilan’s jealousy into a blazing fury; she no longer cared to conceal it. She didn’t even bother to find an excuse and directly dug out Li Suyi’s Spirit Root and destroyed her looks.

”Bitch, let’s see what you can use to seduce people now.” Cao Xilan laughed viciously. ”I won’t kill you. You’re going to live on in pain and ugliness. Slowly grow old and die in despair!”
