You Mock My Mixed Spiritual Roots? I'll Outwork the Cultivation World, So Why Are You Crying?

Ye Lan was born with an inferior, mixed five-element spiritual root. Rejected by 108 sects, she struggled through hardship after hardship and eventually became a lowly sweeping maid in the outer sect of Qingyun Sect.

They laughed at her poor aptitude? With the Spirit-Gathering Pearl, she could easily command the powers of all five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth!

They mocked her lowly status? They had no idea she secretly listened to the sect master's thoughts every day and had already memorized the cultivation manuals and secret techniques of every sect.

They laughed that she could only get along with little animals? They didn't know she spoke beast language fluently, and high-level magical beasts were lining up to curry favor with her, only for her to turn them away.

When the major sects heard the news, they could no longer sit still.

"Xiao Lanlan, come be the senior sister of Xuantian Sect!" The elder of Xuantian Sect beamed at her.

"We'll give you the Gu King of the Spirit Gu Sect. Hurry and join us!" The elder of the Spirit Gu Sect urged her eagerly.

"The Pavilion Master of Tianlan Pavilion thinks highly of you. Join us and you'll become his personal disciple, with your pick of all our resources!" A steward of Tianlan Pavilion promised confidently.

"The position of Valley Master of Xuanyin Valley will be yours one day!" The Valley Master of Xuanyin Valley said earnestly.

The sects that had once rejected her regretted it bitterly and begged her to join them.

A good horse never eats the grass behind it. Ye Lan turned them all down!

Qingyun Sect was pretty good, except its sect master had a split personality. Whenever his violent side took over, he would secretly climb into her bed, then remember nothing once he came to his senses.

Oh well, the sect master had taken her in. Besides, such a handsome man was a bargain for her anyway.

But as Ye Lan was drawn into the conflicts within Qingyun Sect, she discovered that there was more to her origins than met the eye.

As the veil covering the conspiracy and betrayal was torn away, the power of the Evil Phoenix within her awakened completely!

If this continent has no place for me, then I'll rule it myself!
