——

As an orphan who grew up eating a lot of food, after graduating from a normal school, Mingdai devoted almost half of her life to the education of her hometown.

Fast forward seven or eight years, more and more young people are leaving the mountains, and the number of students in the mountains is getting smaller and smaller.

Today was supposed to be Mingdai's last day at Qingshan Middle School.

After the last class is held and the last batch of graduates are sent away, the school will merge with several other surrounding towns.

However, I don't know if it was because she stepped out with her left foot first when she finally stepped out of the school. In the blink of an eye, she was in a completely unfamiliar place.

Moreover, he is still bedridden.

"How's the situation?"

"The meridians are cut off, the Nascent Soul is dissipated, and the golden elixir is damaged... I'm afraid this is the end of the journey to immortality..." There was a faint sound of conversation outside the door.

Mingdai came to her senses belatedly, and quickly braced herself to listen. Unexpectedly, as soon as she raised her ears, the door became quiet, and after waiting for a long time, nothing came out.

Mingdai:...Tsk.

So she drooped down again in boredom.

Feeling the real weakness and pain coming from this body, even Ming Dai, who had not been driven crazy after teaching for so many years, also felt a little headache.

Although she didn't know what the situation was now, she guessed that the short-lived ghost mentioned in the other party's words should be herself.

only……

Yuan Ying? Golden elixir? Immortal path?

Has she stepped into a cultivation novel?

Dianjia’s or Lujiang’s?

Could it be that she had just blocked a knife and cut off a pill for some Bai Yueguang, right?

Or is it possible that someone who broke off the marriage to Long Aotian before is now being slapped in the face to seek revenge?!

Not that Mingdai thinks too much.

There are not many recreational activities in the small mountain village. After class, apart from correcting homework, repairing school buildings, and traveling around the mountains and plains to encourage students to learn, Mingdai occasionally reads a few novels to pass the time.

Isn’t this the popular time travel mode in recent years?

When she thought of this, she endured the pain and sat up from the bed, planning to find a way to figure out the current situation first.

At the same time, someone pushed the door open and entered.

"Elder Tang, you're awake!"

Mingdai:?

Before she could question this subtle title, the visitor had already rushed to her bed excitedly, "It's been a whole month! You finally woke up! You scared us to death!"

Mingdai didn't know whether it scared other people. But she herself was startled by the other party.

"Uh, thank you Guan..."

Before the word "heart" could be uttered, I heard the other party crying and shouting——

"Liuguang Pavilion has just sent another quarter's bills. If you leave now, who should I go to to pay for the debts Qingfeng Mountain has owed over the years?"

Mingdai:???

In the next hour, under the constant chatter from the other party, Ming Dai, who had not returned to the mountain for many years, finally sorted out the current situation.

What she guessed before was correct. She had indeed traveled to a world of cultivation, and she had very accurately fallen into the area prone to bloody plots——

Jian Zong.

There are nine peaks in the Sword Sect. Each peak is its own sect and is also managed by the sect.

The young man named Kong Fang in front of him came from the sect's internal affairs hall and was responsible for financial related matters.

And she herself, Tang Mingdai, was the biological daughter of the former head of Qingshan Mountain, and now the elder of Qingshan Mountain. She was an expert at wielding a thin sword. Compared with her peers, she was a well-deserved pride of heaven.

Of course, that was before.

A month and a half ago, a disciple of the sect was killed while on the way to subdue the demon. Mingdai happened to finish fighting nearby at that time. As an elder, she went to rescue him without hesitation.

However, at that time, she had just broken through the Nascent Soul in battle, and had not had time to stabilize her cultivation. So at the last moment, she unfortunately fell into the secret realm of the demonic tide in order to save a disciple.

In the Age of Dharma Ending, everyone talks about the evil spirits. What's more, it is an extremely rare and dangerous secret realm of demon tides, and there have been very few survivors.

When the original body reappeared, he had already been seriously injured and was dying. His cultivation had dropped from the early stage of Nascent Soul back to Foundation Establishment. His golden elixir was damaged and there was no possibility of advancement.

After hearing this, Ming Dai fell into silence.

Just, quite suddenly.

Putting aside whether the names of "Qingshan Peak" and "Qingshan Middle School" were too coincidental, Mingdai lowered her head and glanced at her hands, completely unable to imagine how she was holding a sword.

——It’s almost enough to use yellow thorn sticks as a teaching stick.

As for the regression in cultivation, she was originally an ordinary person. Although she felt a little regretful, she didn't feel much about it for a while.

It's just a pity for the original person.

According to the original talent, if nothing unexpected happens, she should be able to complete her Nascent Soul cultivation and enter the out-of-body stage within a few years. However, she did not expect that during the time it took to leave the body, her Nascent Soul did not leave the body, but her soul came out first.

.

In comparison, Mingdai seems to be much luckier.

Although she came through without knowing what happened, at least she is still alive.

The premise is that if the original person does not owe a lot of debt.

"This is the bill related to Qingshan Peak that Jianzong received recently. Please take a look at it." Kong Fang said and handed over a scroll.

When Mingdai heard the word "bill", her eyelids jumped twice subconsciously, and she recalled some bad memories from her previous days at Qingshan Middle School.

It took a lot of effort to change from "Principal Tang" who had to worry about everything to "Elder Tang" who sounded like he was quite relaxed. No matter how troublesome things like accounts were, she should not be in charge of it.

So she didn't answer.

"Where is your school... I mean Master Xu Feng?"

Thanks to Kong Fang, after listening to him tell so much information, some memories of the original person vaguely appeared in Mingdai's mind.

In the memory of the original body, her parents have been traveling for many years and have not returned. The current peak leader is her senior brother named Xu Qingchuan.

Kong Fang was silent for two seconds, "After receiving the news that you fell into the demonic tide a month ago, Master Xu immediately went to find you with the life tablet."

Mingdai:?

This time Mingdai also fell silent.

After a long while, she said slowly: "If I remember correctly, my senior brother seems to be a road idiot."

Kong Fang looked at the sky and said, "Master Xu, these words are not what I said."

Mingdai was too lazy to listen to him, "When do you think he can get it back this time?"

Kong Fang thought about it carefully: "The last time I went down the mountain to visit the market, it took Master Xu Feng seven months to come back. The last time I went down the mountain to get rid of the demons, it took me a year and a half. The last time I went down -"

"...Forget it, just give it to me." Ming Dai sighed and accepted the scroll resignedly.

"Although he should be able to tell from the life card that I am fine, the place where I got into trouble this time is quite far away from the sect. If it doesn't take three years or two years, he probably won't be able to come back."

Kong Fang nodded, deeply convinced.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have left his work unfinished and eagerly come to Mingdai's place to guard her.

"But you'd better be mentally prepared first -" While he was speaking, Mingdai had already taken the scroll.

The scroll looked very thin, and Mingdai thought it would be about the same size as a piece of A4 paper when unfolded, so she opened it without thinking -

"The accounts inside..."

Swish——

The light representing the formation flashed in a blink of an eye, and a long string of scrolls fell out of the air, covering the bed and floor in an instant, like toilet paper scattered flowers.

Kong Fang blankly completed the second half of the sentence: "...maybe a bit too much."

Mingdai:……

"Thank you, I can see it."

As the saying goes, nine out of ten swordsmen are poor, and the remaining one is crazy.

Unfortunately, he turned out to be the "crazy" one.

Literally "crazy".

The reason why the original body's cultivation level is much higher than that of her peers is not only because of her good talent and good family background, but more importantly, she has a sharp mind and is very keen on fighting.
