After They Changed My Spiritual Root, I Decided to Go Mad - A. Introduction

A woman from another world awakened the power to alter written characters.

So she added 尸, the “corpse” component, to the 水—“water”—in my supreme-grade water spiritual root, turning it into 尿: urine.

My master recoiled in disgust. My fiancé broke off our engagement. My fellow disciples scrubbed even the paths I walked with cleansing talismans, three times over.

I hid in the barren mountains and spent seventy years trying to change that character back.

I never managed it.

Before I died, the woman came to see me. Smiling, she said, “But yours is supreme-grade, Sister. Why won’t you use it?”

When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the spiritual-root testing platform.

Five golden characters had just appeared across the sky:

Supreme-grade urine spiritual root.

I looked down at the woman, who had not yet managed to hide her smile, and suddenly understood.

Exactly. Supreme-grade.

I pressed two fingers together and performed the Flow-Guiding Art I had practiced countless times in my previous life, drawing a stream toward me from a distance.

A thin jet shot up from a night-soil bucket outside the sect gates and splashed her squarely in the face.

Utter silence.

I lowered my hand, modestly concealing my achievement.

“Junior Sister.

“Consider that a blessing for our first meeting.”
