007 Cultivation Legacy

Fang Yuxin found herself shrouded in a vast white mist, and as she uttered the words "Qingmu Spiritual Mansion," the fog around her suddenly dispersed, revealing a grand hall with an extremely expansive view. The hall was spacious, over a thousand square meters in area, yet it contained nothing superflous. In the center of the hall, a cyan lotus flower floated in midair.

Fang Yuxin instinctively walked towards it. The petals of the lotus were incredibly thin, yet they were not real petals, but seemed like an illusion of something else. She reached out to touch a petal gently with her fingers, feeling a cool sensation that was very comforting. Then, starting at her fingertip, the lotus began to dissolve, transforming into cyan light that entered her body through her finger.

Fang Yuxin felt her mind growing heavier, and she closed her eyes in a daze. Gradually, a sense of enlightenment began to blossom in her spirit. It turned out that the lotus was formed from the essence of the "Chaos Green Lotus." Though not the actual Chaos Green Lotus, it was nonetheless extremely precious, enough to entice even immortals.

Since she possessed a Single Wood Spiritual Root, she was able to absorb it without any obstacles. Now, her body had been transformed into a Pure Wood Spirit Body, and as long as she practiced the Green Wood Technique sealed within the lotus, she could embark on the path of cultivation. This Qingmu Spiritual Mansion was a Spirit Mansion Space carved out with great power by a cultivator; it could also be understood as an inheritance space. By absorbing the lotus, she had received the previous owner's inheritance.

After digesting the newly acquired knowledge in her mind, Fang Yuxin was stunned. She recalled that dream, where, due to Fang Mengyao's unsightly behavior, she gave up the Jade to avoid putting Fang Jintang in a difficult position. Coupled with Mengyao's words at the end of the dream, it was evident that she had obtained this Spirit Mansion Space!

However... Fang Yuxin remembered that in her dream, Mengyao had not used any Wood Element Techniques. Was Mengyao concealing her strength, or did she not receive the inheritance at all? Fang Yuxin couldn't find an answer, but since she now had the Spirit Mansion in her possession, there was no need to dwell on this question any longer.

Fang Yuxin looked around the hall again and discovered that there were ten doorways on the walls, three on each of three walls and only one on the remaining wall. The floor was inscribed with complex runes and many lotus patterns. The runes on the floor formed a Spirit Gathering Array, and the lotus patterns were places to sit and cultivate.

As for the doors on the walls, one led outside the hall, and the remaining nine opened to nine different areas: Alchemy Room, Artifact Room, warehouse, Scripture Pavilion, Treasure Pavilion, and trial land. Apart from the door leading outside and the warehouse, all the other doors were sealed, and could only be entered by breaking their seals.

Fang Yuxin first visited the warehouse, which was sadly empty. The goods were all stored in the other spaces, accessible only after breaking the seals on their doors. Fortunately, the warehouse space was not small, so it could hold many items, and it had a preserving effect.

After inspecting the warehouse, Fang Yuxin opened the door leading outside the hall to find a corridor. Beneath the corridor were white jade steps, ninety-nine in total. At the bottom was a platform nine meters wide and a hundred meters long, and beneath the platform flowed clear lake water. One could only see nine meters into the water; beyond that point, the view was obscured by hazy mist. This mist appeared ordinary but was actually a seal—if one tried to peer into the mist, they would feel dizzy in less than a minute.

Fang Yuxin swiftly surveyed her surroundings and found a Spiritual Spring on the left of the hall. A stream connected the spring and the lake, with the spring water flowing continuously into the lake without any backflow. Next to the spring was a Medicine Field with many Spiritual Medicines planted, none of which Fang Yuxin currently recognized.

To the right of the hall was a spirit field, barren and empty, waiting for seeds. But Fang Yuxin could bring seeds in from the outside to plant there. Behind was a lush bamboo forest. Just like the Medicine Field, spirit field, and bamboo forest, the lake was only visible up to nine meters away, with everything beyond enshrouded in fog.

Fang Yuxin had a feeling that the space was much larger, but what lay beyond would remain a mystery until the seals were undone.

After her exploration, Fang Yuxin exited the Spirit Mansion and returned to her room. The blood in the bowl had completely vanished as if it had never existed. The bracelet that housed the Spirit Mansion Space had also disappeared, not truly gone but entered Fang Yuxin's Purple Mansion between her eyebrows, safeguarding her Divine Soul.

Fang Yuxin attempted to store things in the warehouse. Because she had yet to begin her cultivation and her Spiritual Sense was weak, she could only store objects by physically touching them. However, once she stepped onto the path of cultivation, she would be able to store anything her Spiritual Sense touched within the warehouse.

The matters of the Spirit Mansion, she had no intention of telling her family just yet. Instead, she planned to collect as many supplies as possible first. She had initially harbored a sliver of hope, treating it all as an absurd dream, but the increasingly severe influenza and the emergence of the space Spirit Mansion made her dare not hold onto any luck.

Thinking of this, Fang Yuxin picked up her phone and made a call, "Hello? Where are you right now? Can you do me a favor? Help me verify two things."

"Okay, I'll bring the items to you right now."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Yuxin took the fresh-keeping box and left the house. It was only 8 o'clock when she went out; Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang had not yet gone to bed and were watching TV in the living room. Seeing her going out, they couldn't help but ask, "Xinxin? Where are you going so late?"

Fang Yuxin casually said, "Going to meet a friend," and ran out, leaving Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe exchanging smiles. When she reached the entrance of her friend's research institute, her friend was already waiting. Fang Yuxin handed over the pocket she was holding, which contained the fresh-keeping box and two other samples: "Help me check if there's been anything added to these, and also, see if the owners of these two samples are blood relatives."

The other person didn't say much, took the items, and said, "Alright, I'll do the tests when I get back and give you the results tomorrow."

Fang Yuxin thanked her, didn't stay long, and drove back home. After returning to her room, she recalled the scenes from her dream and began typing everything she remembered into her computer. It was already nine o'clock when she got home, and by the time she finished recording, it was nearly midnight.

After reviewing the recorded information, Fang Yuxin identified areas that needed attention and made a new list, then printed all of it and placed it into the space.

The next day, Fang Yuxin left the house after breakfast. She first rented several warehouses, then called the suppliers who usually collaborated with the supermarket and ordered a large batch of supplies. She also placed orders for a large quantity of fuel, gas cylinders, and engines, instructing the deliverers to bring everything to the appointed warehouses.

Having confirmed the orders, Fang Yuxin went to a store and bought a hoodie, casual pants, canvas shoes, prank glasses, and a mask. She changed into the disguise in her car and headed to an underground internet café. The prank glasses were meant for jokes, resembling thick prescription lenses that even distorted the eyes. Paired with the hoodie and mask, her original appearance was completely concealed.

Fang Yuxin chose a computer in a corner and, once it started up, wrote a post about the apocalypse. She then opened several popular forums, registered new accounts, and posted on each one. After quickly posting, she cleared the computer's history, shut down the machine, and left the internet café.

Back in the car and changed into her original clothes, Fang Yuxin checked her phone. Her friend hadn't sent a message yet.

At the same time, in a villa in Beishi City, a young man was idly browsing a familiar forum when he suddenly spotted a post. Startled, he instinctively clicked on it.

Then, he immediately shouted, "Boss! Come and look at this!"
