In the evening, the winter sky was overcast.

"Sixth Miss, today's dinner has been delivered, and it was ordered by Grandpa Guo himself." A servant girl shouted outside the door.

She slipped the food in through the unclosed gap in the door, followed by the sound of footsteps leaving.

Qin Manjing went to the door to get today's food, and by the way, she used the two wooden sticks she picked up to block the door. This can prevent Qin Zhen and the others from easily breaking in after getting the key.

Inside the house, Qin Manjing looked at the food box with clear wooden texture on the table, and felt that it was not like an object for the master of the Qin State Mansion, but more like a food box for a slave.

Maybe Qin Guogong thinks she is only worthy of using slave things.

However, her current situation is not even comparable to that of a slave. In any case, it's much better than the usual leftovers. I think it was Qin Guogong who saw that she was dying, so he specially sent some food.

After opening it, it was all some food that she hadn't eaten in a long time. It's steaming hot and has an enticing aroma.

But Qin Manjing only ate a small plate of them, and the rest remained in the food box. The winter weather can be preserved for a long time, so that the next few meals can be settled.

[Host, I thought you'd eat it all in one sitting.] 】

Qin Manjing gently wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief with a silk on the edge, her eyes were very calm.

"I also want to eat it all in one sitting. However, at the moment, I am not qualified to be greedy for pleasure. I was scared of suddenly losing everything and not even a bowl of rice. ”

The system hurriedly encouraged her.

[Host, there may be Bigu Dan in future mission rewards.] So as long as you do your tasks well, you won't go hungry again in the future. If the host cultivates the Immortal Valley by himself in the future, then he will not feel hungry if he doesn't eat. 】

"Is Bigu Dan refined by an immortal cultivator?" Qin Manjing put away the food box and asked it.

[If the host is also able to enter the Dao and become an immortal cultivator, then you can also refine these pills by yourself. However, materials are required to refine the elixir, and the rewards for the later tasks will appear. 】

Suddenly, Qin Manjing became more interested in cultivating immortals.

It's just that as a mortal who has never been in contact with immortal cultivation, she needs to put in more effort to get started.

After eating, she took out the "Basic Immortal Cultivation Cheats" and read it. The system stayed quietly in her mind and didn't bother her.

Qin Manjing learned the posture in the book, crossed her legs, palms up, and relaxed her whole body, trying to experience the mysterious realm mentioned in the book.

But after a while, she didn't feel anything.

However, Qin Manjing is a very axial person, and she always has to try and try again when dealing with one thing, and she will not give up easily.

Either way, she had nothing left to lose.

So for her now, being able to cultivate is earning.

Suddenly, there was a pain in her upper abdomen, and a wave of heat poured out of her chest. Qin Manjing spat out a mouthful of blood with a 'wow'.

"Poof......

Because she leaned forward when she vomited blood, the blood flowed all over the ground.

At first glance, it's terrifying.

Qin Manjing wiped the corners of her mouth with the back of her hand, and asked in a weak tone, "Am I going crazy?" ”

[Host, mortals will not go mad. 】

Qin Manjing spit out a mouthful of blood, and her abdomen hurt hotly. There seemed to be a fire burning in her chest.

"What's wrong with me, am I not suitable for cultivating immortals?" She smiled bitterly, a little lost in her eyes.

[Host, since you are still a mortal, vomiting blood can only mean that there is something wrong with your body. 】

After hearing its words, Qin Manjing's face changed. If she is not suitable for cultivating immortals, then she is not cultivating.

But if it's not that case. For mortals, spitting out a mouthful of blood inexplicably is likely to be fatal.

"What's wrong with me?" Qin Manjing's expression was a little solemn.

For the sake of the life safety of the host, the system can conduct an all-round, multi-dimensional, and high-precision body detection for the host. 】

But it takes a lot of energy. Since the system has already consumed most of its energy to travel through time and space, the system will go into a dormant state due to insufficient energy after detection. 】

The dormant state is not a good thing for either the system or Qin Manjing.

At least in this Qin State Mansion, where food and clothing cannot be guaranteed, the system is the only thing that can help her.

"I don't need a full body test, can you just do a simple abdominal check-up?" How much energy does it take? ”

[Local micro-detection does not consume too much energy.] 】

"Come on, then." Qin Manjing lowered her eyes, and there were many thoughts in her heart.

[Ding, perform a local examination for the host...... The results of the examination showed that there was a slight burning of the spleen and stomach in the abdominal cavity, and there were signs of blood poisoning, and the host was presumed to vomit blood due to poisoning. 】

Sure enough, she had already guessed in her mind just now.

Qin Manjing said with an indifferent expression: "They finally don't plan to cover it up anymore, but want to kill me directly?" ”

"System, let's see if the food just now is poisonous."

The system simply checks and quickly comes up with an answer.

[The test results are: all toxins.] 】

Qin Manjing covered her abdomen and slowly lay down on the bed.

The massive blood loss and pain in her abdomen made her breathless.

I don't know if I'm glad she only ate one of the fluttershy. If she eats it all, she doesn't know if she will die immediately.

"Is it Qin Guogong who wants to kill me?"

Qin Manjing thought of the servant girl who didn't show up, and denied her guess.

"Not necessarily, it could be that someone else gave me this poisonous meal in his name."

"There's only one very common food box left in the house, and once I'm dead, there's no proof of death."

"What's more, if I really die, they will only feel that they have lost a burden, and they may not find out the cause of my death at all."

Qin Manjing's voice was very weak, with some small moans.

Analyzing these is no longer the most important thing, the top priority is detoxification.

"System, how to detoxify?" She asked, gasping for breath and a little pain.

[There will be a lot of things in the quest reward, including the antidote elixir.] But if the host doesn't complete the task, the system can't do anything. However, after the qi is introduced into the body, the body will discharge a large number of impurities and toxins, which can also have a detoxification effect. 】

For the sake of the life and health of the host, this system will help the host to detect whether the food is safe in the future. 】

Qin Manjing suddenly felt a strong sense of unwillingness.

If she died here today, wouldn't they all be happy? After she died, she would never harm the Qin family again, nor would she bring disaster to the world.

The system told her that she could reverse her life, and she hadn't even figured out what the problem with her life was yet.

She must not just die.

[Please ask the host to complete the current daily task - induce qi into the body.] Daily rewards are available for completing quests. 】

After resting for a while, Qin Manjing forcibly sat up in pain and cultivated cross-legged.

The human realm is already thin in spiritual energy, not to mention that she is an ordinary mortal with no cultivation and experience, how can she easily draw qi into her body.

But when Qin Manjing read the book, she knew that the most taboo thing in cultivation was impatience.

Even if she is in a hurry, she must calm down. Otherwise, the more urgent you are, the more you can't get things done.

She tried her best to forget the poisoning, the pain in her body, and the shame and pain of all these years.

Slowly, her mind went blank and her body became much lighter. Qin Manjing entered a wonderful state of distraction at this time.

Seeing this, the system quietly released some aura.

That aura shrouded Qin Manjing's body, and she was reluctant to leave.

No matter who it is, without aura, you can't cultivate immortals. The system knows it, too.

But the system is a good system, and it doesn't want to fuel the owner's feelings of dependence.

Even it understands that the most powerful power is never sought from the outside, but appeals to itself.

The path of cultivating immortals is also a path of cultivating the mind.
