Digging Out My Spiritual Root? After Rebirth, My New Sect Cherishes Me Like a Treasure

Ji Sui’an, the daughter of the Lingyun Immortal Sect Leader and a once-celebrated genius with a Heaven-grade Water Spiritual Root, awakens during the Sect Grand Competition after dying in her previous life. In her past existence, she was betrayed by her family and master after a deceptive girl named Ji Yun’er arrived at the sect. Ji Yun’er stole Ji Sui’an’s spiritual root, her Exotic Fire, and her alchemy talent through a cursed jade bracelet, reducing the genius to a lowly outer sect disciple before her tragic death at the hands of a demonic cultivator. Now reborn, Ji Sui’an retains her memories and a burning desire for vengeance, determined to reclaim what was stolen and expose the truth before it is too late.

During the competition, Ji Sui’an faces Ji Yun’er in the third round. Unlike in her previous life, where she had held back to avoid hurting her junior sister, Ji Sui’an fights with ruthless efficiency. She intentionally injures herself to trigger the jade bracelet’s transfer mechanism in reverse, causing a cultivation backlash that strips Ji Yun’er of her stolen power. When Sword Venerable Xuanxiao, her former master, accuses her of practicing evil arts, Ji Sui’an demands a soul test using the Soul-Viewing Jade. Her divine soul is revealed to be pure, while Ji Yun’er’s test is inconclusive due to hidden protections. The sect’s young grandmaster, Xie Qingchen, intervenes to allow the test, clearing Ji Sui’an’s name partially but leaving the deeper conspiracy intact.

Following the competition, Ji Sui’an chooses to leave Qinghua Peak and join Misty Peak under the guidance of Peak Master Ji Qingya, a reclusive cultivator with a strained relationship with the sect leadership. There, she reunites with her new senior siblings, including the hot-tempered Yun Luoyu, who quickly becomes her ally. Ji Sui’an learns that Ji Yun’er has already begun showcasing her stolen alchemy talents, refining sixth-grade pills and gaining favor throughout the sect. Despite losing her Exotic Fire, Ji Sui’an discovers that her recovery ability has improved in this lifetime, allowing her to heal rapidly from the trauma of the theft.

As tensions rise, Ji Sui’an prepares for an upcoming arena competition and a trial in an ancient secret realm. She anticipates that Ji Yun’er will attempt to steal her remaining talents, including her artifact refining ability. During a confrontation at the Duty Hall, Yun Luoyu defends Ji Sui’an against Luo Zhuyuan, one of her former junior brothers who continues to favor Ji Yun’er. Ji Sui’an slaps Luo Zhuyuan for his hypocrisy and warns Ji Yun’er that retribution is coming. Meanwhile, she encounters a mysterious dragon-like spirit beast named Qinglong, which belongs to Xie Qingchen, hinting at deeper connections between the characters.

The story follows Ji Sui’an as she navigates the treacherous politics of the Lingyun Immortal Sect, builds alliances on Misty Peak, and plans her counterattacks against those who wronged her. With her cultivation restored to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection stage, she is poised to challenge Ji Yun’er’s false superiority and uncover the full extent of the conspiracy that destroyed her life. The narrative sets the stage for a dramatic showdown in the secret realm, where Ji Sui’an aims to reclaim her stolen destiny and protect her new family from the shadows of her past.
