Build a faction from scratch

When she got home, Xiao Ranran's grandmother had already cooked the meal and was sitting under the eaves sewing flowers.These small fabric flowers are used by the clothing factory in the next village to decorate the skirts they produce. The price is 1 cent each, based on the piece.Grandma always does something to supplement the family income when she has time.

Seeing such a familiar scene, Xiao Ranran consciously stepped forward to take the embroidery needle inserted on the sponge, picked up the cut piece of cloth and started sewing.

"Wait, come here and help me thread the thread first."

After saying that, grandma took the thread and cloth from Xiao Ranran's hand and started sewing neatly.

Xiao Ranran stepped forward and took the embroidery needle inserted on the sponge block, threaded it through the slender white cotton thread, leaving enough length, then tied a knot and inserted it back.

She used to do these jobs often, and she could still do them easily even in fantasy.

An old man and a young man were sitting under the eaves sewing flowers. Grandma looked at the sky outside, turned around and asked, "Have you finished your homework?"

"Well, it's done at school."

"Okay, I'll sew it until your grandpa comes back."

"Ok."

The old man and the young man continued to sew until dusk, until it was so dark that it was almost impossible to see. Then they lit the tungsten lamp and put away all the things for sewing flowers.

When grandpa came back, the three of them had dinner together. Xiao Ranran helped clean the dishes and chopsticks, and then returned to the room.

In order to save electricity and because there was no entertainment, Xiao Ranran's grandparents went to bed very early.After confirming that the two of them had fallen asleep, Xiao Ranran got up again and began to meditate.

Ten days passed peacefully like this, and Xiao Ranran still couldn't find any breakthrough.Even the two children who bullied her at the beginning temporarily gave up the method of throwing stones because they were hit twice by her stones with perfect accuracy.

Xiao Ranran, who didn't know how to break the situation, thought for a long time and finally decided to take some food and leave the village.

So, on Monday morning, Xiao Ranran hugged her grandparents again, said "goodbye" to them, then left the village and walked along the road.

When passing by the school, Xiao Ranran stood outside the school gate and watched for a while. It was not until the bell rang that Xiao Ranran turned around and continued walking forward.

After walking like this for most of a day, the people on the road became increasingly sparse. It wasn't until Xiao Ranran realized that she had once again seen the buildings and pedestrians that she had seen on the way here that the appearance of the illusion was finally torn apart.

With an inexplicable dizziness, Xiao Ranran's figure swayed, and he walked out of the illusion and fell back into the secret forest.

Within a few breaths, the exit of the secret realm suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Ranran's eyes, and even 001 suddenly said: "Congratulations to the host for completing the mission and scoring 1000 points."

With 001's affirmation, Xiao Ranran no longer doubted the exit in front of her and successfully stepped through it.

After leaving the secret realm, 001 observed Xiao Ranran's expression for a while. Seeing that she was not happy, he couldn't help but ask: "Host, why do you seem unhappy? Didn't you see your grandparents? Why are you still looking so sad? What does it look like?”

Xiao Ranran did not answer, but asked: "I - I don't know if my guess is right or not. The real purpose of this illusion is to make me leave my grandparents on my own initiative, right?"

"Yes." 001 said with great certainty, "Cultivation of Taoism and mind. The host needs to learn to let go of what it desires. If it cannot let go, it is a failure——"

"Really? You mean that as long as I don't leave voluntarily, the mission will fail? Even if I draw a sword against those villains, it will be useless?"

"That's right. The composition of each illusion is related to the monk's own desire, and does not necessarily involve violence. For example, the host must miss his grandparents more than he resents the people who bullied you, so he gave birth. If you need to leave the one you love, it is a secret realm similar to the "love separation" theory on Blue Star. If the host's resentment towards those people exceeds the miss for the grandparents, then the secret realm will most likely create a secret realm that requires the host to resist or attack. The secret realm of the "Grudge Society" that killed those people." Fortunately, this secret realm is relatively simple, and the things in the host's memory are completely different from those in Yunqi Continent. The contrast in style is such that one can tell at a glance that this is just an illusion.Otherwise, I am really worried that the host will not be able to come out of the illusion..."

"Okay, I see."

After understanding the general situation of the secret realm, Xiao Ranran walked aside, took out the jade talisman and tried to contact Tang Xuan, Tang Mo and others, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response from the jade talismans.

Xiao Ranran had no choice but to go down the mountain first, left a letter in the inn, and then used the jade talisman to contact Ye Jingming.

But before Xiao Ranran could speak, Ye Jingming proposed to let Xiao Ranran come back instead of going to Lingxiao City.

"Huh? What's wrong? Did you remember something again?"

Ye Jingming was silent for a while before replying: "Well, that's right. Sister, please come back first."

"Okay, then I'll come back after they come out of the secret realm."

Deep in Lingxiao City is the central area of ​​Qian Kingdom, about [-] miles away from Cishan City.Even if Xiao Ranran spent a full six hours every day on the road, it would still take a full eighteen days to arrive.

Now that Ye Jingming said there was no need to go, Xiao Ranran was happy and free and agreed to his request.

The two chatted for a while about the current situation in the sect, and then broke off contact after making sure everything was fine.

After staying in the inn for five days, Tang Mo, Tang Xuan and others left the secret realm one after another, leaving only He Yan still trapped in the secret realm.

During this period, several people from the Shenshan Sect asked Xiao Ranran about the content of the secret realm. In order not to appear abrupt, Xiao Ranran had no choice but to make up a story based on the background of the Tianqi Mountains and the Xiaoyao Sect.

It was not until the day before the end of the secret realm that He Yan successfully escaped from the secret realm.

As soon as they arrived at the inn, He Yan hurriedly called Tang Mo and Tang Xuan and hid in their room.

Xiao Ranran looked confused and waited at the door for a while.

Soon, Tang Mo walked out of the room and said to Xiao Ranran: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I'm really sorry. Junior sister He Yan's return from the secret realm is a bit loose. If she wants to hit the late stage of foundation building here, we have to protect her, so we can't Went back with you."

"Really? Then I wish Senior Sister He success in advancing."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xiao. We asked you to come with us this time, but we couldn't go back with you. Please accept these three bottles of seventh-grade Qi Restoration Pills."

With that said, Tang Mo took three bottles of Qi Recovery Pill from Wu Ping behind him and stuffed them into Xiao Ranran's hand.

There are ten seventh-grade Qi Restoring Pills in a bottle, and each bottle is worth forty spirit stones.Three bottles only contain more than 100 spirit stones, so they are neither too expensive nor too shabby.

Strictly speaking, Xiao Ranran also borrowed He Yan's power to come to Cishan Town so easily.Therefore, Xiao Ranran did not directly accept the three bottles of Qi Restoration Pill, but argued with Tang Mo for a while, and finally accepted only one bottle.

After picking up all the luggage, Xiao Ranran said goodbye to a few people, left Cishan City, and headed straight to the main courtyard of the sect along the newly planned route 001.
