> Resúmenes de Fate Chooses You
Xin Mei’s defiance left the assembled crowd speechless as she began shattering her Gongshan Jade Tablets one by one. Senior Uncle Gong Yu of the Sun Moon Cavern rebuked her, claiming her heart was clouded by distracting thoughts that she had allowed to fester. He lectured her on the "Way of Great Unity," asserting that all living beings are equal.
However, Xin Mei exposed the hypocrisy in his words, questioning whether he would truly distribute the Immortality Pills to his own disciples if everyone were truly equal. She pointed out that while they preached equality, they still enforced a world of rigid ranks and classes. The tension was momentarily eased by Zhi Bocheng, the Jingzhou Transport and Communications Envoy.
As a mortal official, he admitted to his own confusion regarding the immortal sects, noting how some cultivators lose their powers for minor infractions while others commit atrocities without consequence. He suggested that their vows were matters of personal belief rather than rigid laws. Moved by his perspective, Xin Mei offered him two jade tablets. However, Zhi Bocheng declined and shattered the tablets himself, stating he already had the six pills required by the Emperor.
He thanked Xin Mei for being a voice for the common people before departing. When the Tianyuan Sect took their turn, Xin Mei did not bother with questions; she simply smashed the remaining tablets. This insolence sent Lei Fengzi into a murderous rage, and he seized Xin Mei by the throat. Though Zhu Yu eventually persuaded him to release her, Lei Fengzi’s fury remained, and he ordered her never to appear before him again.
That night, Xin Mei was reunited with her junior, Sheng, who had tracked her down using a mockingbird. Their reunion was cut short by the tolling of the bell from Jiujue Cave, signaling that the Immortality Pill was about to be completed. As they rushed toward the cave, they were intercepted by Bai Zongying, who was acting on his master's orders to block Xin Mei.
She challenged him with a prophecy regarding a savior born on the ninth day of the ninth month, a role many once believed Bai Zongying would fulfill. Her words struck a chord with him, and he eventually stepped aside to let them pass. Inside the cave, a weakened Su Taiyi sat in his wheelchair, ordering his disciples to stoke the furnace for the final stage.
Simultaneously, Lu Qianqiao awoke from his bone-renewing procedure, only to realize that the bones in his body were not animal bones, but human ones. Sensing a tragedy, he demanded to know Su Taiyi’s whereabouts. Outside, twenty-eight drums began to play, a tradition intended to honor Shennong. While the ceremony was meant to be a grand celebration, Lin Muhan noticed that the music and zither were playing a "parting melody"—a tune of farewell rather than joy.
Su Taiyi had sacrificed his own bones for Lu Qianqiao, choosing to end his life as the music echoed through the valley. By the time Lu Qianqiao reached Jiujue Cave, Su Taiyi had already passed away, denying the master and disciple a final meeting. With Su Taiyi’s death, the alchemy furnace suddenly exploded, and the long-awaited Immortality Pills were reduced to nothing but ash. In his final days, Su Taiyi had meticulously prepared for Lu Qianqiao’s future as a mortal.
He left behind a chest of emergency medicines and deeds to various properties in the capital, Wei County, Nanyang, and beyond, ensuring Lu Qianqiao would always have a home. He even compiled a list of regional delicacies for Lu Qianqiao to enjoy now that he possessed a sense of taste.
In a poignant moment, Lu Qianqiao imagined Su Taiyi reminding him that while a War Demon might not need money, a human certainly did, urging him not to mistreat himself while walking the mortal path. The grief in the valley was soon interrupted by the arrival of the immortal sects at Longevity Hall. Led by the Tianyuan Sect, they attempted to pillage the valley’s resources, claiming they needed compensation for the failed pills.
Lei Fengzi went so far as to demand that Su Taiyi’s body and his disciples be taken back to the Tianyuan Sect for interrogation. Lu Qianqiao arrived and made short work of the intruders, revealing his identity as Su Taiyi’s master. He threatened to annihilate any sect that dared to scheme against Chongling Valley, and intimidated by his overwhelming power, the immortal sects fled in disgrace.
After the funeral rites, Xin Mei reflected that while the Immortality Pill was a noble pursuit, it was currently "ill-timed," much like brewing wine during a famine. She believed that one day, when the world was ready, such a gift would truly benefit everyone. With their business concluded, Xin Mei and Sheng bid Lu Qianqiao farewell to return to Xin Xie Manor. As they departed, Chu Ying returned from Fangwai Mountain.
Although he had been unable to find the legendary artifact for blood purification, Lu Qianqiao remained unperturbed. Watching the river lanterns released by the commoners to honor Su Taiyi, Lu Qianqiao told his friend that he had already discovered another way to complete his transformation.
