After my spiritual root awakens, I ascend to become an immortal

Su Nianyao was raised from childhood by her adoptive father Su Wangchen and his family. As an ordinary person with no spiritual root, Su Nianyao was guarded quietly by Su Wangchen’s family—the leader of the Spirit Controlling Sect—who concealed their true identities and lived as ordinary farmers. At the age of seven, Su Nianyao chose to return to her birth parents Lin Fugui’s home, expecting a warm and loving family life. Unexpectedly, the entire Lin family longed for a Nascent Soul realm cultivator to appear in their clan. They doted heavily on their adopted daughter Lin Yanran, while treating Su Nianyao, who had no spiritual root and could not cultivate, as a disgrace. Provoked by Lin Yanran, they even sent Su Nianyao to the Soul Refining Division, a living hell, to be disciplined harshly.Completely heartbroken, Su Nianyao resolved to cut off all ties with the Lin family. After her spiritual root awakened, she signed up for the enrollment ceremony of the Spirit Controlling Sect, vowing to grow stronger through cultivation and never be bullied again. Meanwhile, the Lin family arranged for Lin Yanran and her two siblings to join the same enrollment, fully convinced Lin Yanran would be the top disciple. When the two sides met again, Su Nianyao also aimed for the top disciple spot, determined to do her utmost to defeat and humiliate the Lin family.
