Chapter 1, Lin Xi

Lin Xi placed two fingers on his wrist, examined for a moment, and provided a diagnosis

In just a moment, the two individuals entered the grand hall. One was tall and the other short, both dressed in blue Daoist robes and holding dusters, they were two disciples of the sect

Boom

Lin Xi is currently practicing a martial art known as "Xiao Tiangang," which is a method for nurturing the body.

What a misfortune! On such a rainy day, I still have to come here to tend to this useless person... I really don't understand why the higher-ups still want to save this good-for-nothing. The young master of the Five Thunder Sect, yet his martial arts skills are so poor; he is simply a laughingstock for our sect. This time, he has brought such a disaster upon the sect; it is truly a pity he is not dead.

Lin Xi had already woken up, but did not make a sound. Anyone who finds themselves suddenly in a strange world and in an unfamiliar body would feel an immense shock

Lin Xishuang raised her eyebrows, a hint of anger appearing on her face. With a thunderous shout, her tongue struck like lightning: "What a dog-hearted, audacious servant you are! I see you are blinded by pig oil, daring to ride on my head. I am the young master of the Five Thunder Sect, and you, a mere cook, are committing an offense against your superior. According to the sect's rules, your martial arts should be abolished, and your heart and lungs should be cut out. I only need to say a word to the Criminal Law Pavilion, and then we shall see how you meet your end!"

Lin Xi is not simply "Lin Xi". Before being brought here, he was a seventeen-year-old high school student. In addition to this, he possesses another mysterious identity—an heir to a very powerful and ancient martial arts family

Lin Xi shook her head inwardly, feeling a twinge of pity.

Just as Lin Xi was finishing his martial arts practice, suddenly, the door burst open with a loud bang. Someone kicked the door, forcefully breaking it open.

That kind of gaze, lofty and superior, as if he were the master. Saying this, he placed the food tray on the ground in front of the door, pushed it forward, and was about to turn and leave. That demeanor was akin to feeding a dog

Li Jie had grown accustomed to the previous submissive and docile "waste" who was easily manipulated. Suddenly encountering Lin Xi, who exuded a sharp and formidable aura, he was momentarily stunned by the stark contrast, thinking he had seen an elder or the sect leader from within the clan.

The Liyang Sect holds a prestigious position, being a dominant giant sect even more powerful than the Five Thunder Sect. The Liyang Saintess enjoys an esteemed status, unparalleled in honor, and serves as the symbol of the Liyang Sect

Fortunately, although this body is weak and has been seriously ill for six years, it has a strong foundation and solid roots. Recovery will be much quicker.

After finishing this statement, Lin Xiwei took a breath and immediately got out of bed. With a thought, she swiftly executed a martial arts technique.

Although he was merely a cooking apprentice, Li Jie clearly did not regard Lin Xi with any respect

Strength determines status, having been powerless for six years, anyone could become like this

According to family tradition, every family member must leave home at the age of fifteen and become self-sufficient. This serves as both a training experience and a test. All members leave with no money and are not allowed to disclose their identity.

It seems that the owner of this body is in a dire situation

In the glow of the fire, a youth with a silver crown lay motionless on a bronze couch. The boy appeared to be around sixteen or seventeen years old. He had a slender build and handsome features, yet his complexion was pale, devoid of any color.

Bang

Lin Xitian, exceptionally gifted, achieved the third stage of body refinement in martial arts at a young age. Unfortunately, at the age of eleven, he suddenly fell ill with a strange disease. His constitution weakened, and his martial arts progress stagnated, rendering him a useless individual

I do not know whether in this world I can find the medicinal herbs I need to refine those few elixirs

Unfortunately, he endured six years of humiliation, being called a waste. Little did he know, it was because he had been poisoned. His frail constitution was the reason he could not succeed in martial arts

Between Lin Xi's fists and kicks, he felt that although this body was weak, its foundation was strong, clearly indicating a solid base established in the past. As the boxing technique was executed, streams of medicinal power spread from his chest, dispersing into his limbs and bones.

His lips were tightly pressed together, and his sword-like brows were furrowed. In a state of unconsciousness, his hands were still clenched tightly, as if enduring immense pain. On his chest, bloodstains were conspicuous, staining a large area red. It was evident that he had sustained serious injuries from the confrontation.

Calm and composed, thoughtful and deliberate

Hello, you useless one, it's time to eat

The qi and blood are deficient and floating, the tendons and meridians are dull, the liver and lungs are slightly hardened, this indicates poisoning

Bang!

However, Lin Xi knew that this was the doing of her father's senior apprentice, the Second Elder Meng Jun. Meng Jun had always sought to seize the position of the sect leader, and as long as Lin Xiong was alive, his aspirations would remain forever unattainable

The two individuals continued to speak to themselves, setting down the medicine box and taking out some bandages and pills from within.

Such an incident has implicated the entire sect, which is of great significance

spoke with a cold, sinister smile

The elders of the Five Thunder Sect are preparing to strip him of his position as the young master. If nothing unexpected occurs, he will soon be deprived of this title and completely reduced to the status of a mere mortal

This is the benefit of abundant vitality in the universe. In this regard, this world is far better than the world before Lin Xi

This person, Lin Xi, recognizes him as Li Jie. He is a cooking disciple of the Five Thunder Sect, specifically responsible for delivering meals to the disciples within the sect. His status within the sect is the lowest. During mealtimes, he must wait until the other disciples have finished eating before he can eat.

Lin Xi had just finished practicing his martial arts when he heard this remark, and a flash of crimson crossed his face: "Stop! Who are you calling useless!"

What a powerful medicinal effect! The elixirs refined from medicinal materials in this world are far superior to those in my previous world

The owner of Lin Xi's body is the young master of the Five Thunder Sect. This sect is quite renowned in the world of sects, with over 700 members and many skilled practitioners.

Lin Ximei's brow twitched, and she suddenly raised her head, only to see a young disciple dressed in the attire of the Five Thunder Sect, entering with a food tray.

The short disciple who entered first brushed off the rainwater from his body, glanced at the young man on the bronze couch, and said resentfully

In any case, he will be discarded sooner or later; those above do not genuinely wish to save him, so let’s just bandage him up carelessly, there is no need to make it so complicated

Lin Xi is indeed a master in this field! At only 17 years old, he has already surpassed his predecessors.

Due to physical weakness, there has been no recovery. Lin Xi practices only slow punches, but even so, the results have been quite remarkable.

Not long ago, Lin Xi got himself into trouble: he actually went to spy on the Saintess of the Liyang Sect while she was bathing, and as a result, the matter was exposed, and he was caught red-handed

If it were the previous Lin Xi, at this moment, he would undoubtedly be timid and eager to avoid conflict. This is determined by his cowardly nature

In the world where Lin Xi was born, this lineage of martial artists has remained very secretive through generations. Although the world has changed, the family still upholds its ancient traditions, dedicating their lives to the practice of national martial arts while also mastering the principles of Qi and Huang.

Almost in the blink of an eye, a distinct sound of footsteps came drifting through the wind and rain towards the grand hall. The footsteps of two individuals were quick and heavy. On such a rainy day, each step was remarkably steady, clearly indicating that they had undergone training.

The tall disciple who entered afterward said mockingly.

He lay there on the bronze couch, motionless, his breath faint and barely perceptible, leaving one uncertain whether he was alive or dead

Li Jie had already reached the door when he heard this remark. He immediately turned around, a mocking glint in his eyes, and coldly taunted: "What? I am talking about you. You are nothing but a waste! What can you do to me? Bite me? Hmph! You pathetic thing, do you really think you are the young master?"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, cutting through the wind and rain, striking down upon the roof of the hall. Inside the grand hall, a fierce wind arose, and the previously motionless youth on the bronze couch suddenly trembled. At that moment, a flush of red spread across, and his face gradually took on a hint of color.

Lin Xi originally thought he was doomed to die, but unexpectedly, when he woke up again, he found himself in a strange world, having taken over the body of an unfamiliar boy of the same age. Moreover, he discovered that his mind was filled with many memories that did not belong to him.

Lin Xi gazed outside the palace and spoke slowly. A glimmer of bright light flashed in her star-like eyes

Lin Xi's roar was fierce and commanding. There was an aura of authority about him, exuding a formidable presence without the need for anger, instantly revealing the sharp demeanor of the young sect leader.

Da Da ! !

A flash of crimson anger crossed Lin Xi's face. Even a lowly disciple, responsible for delivering meals, dared to show him a scornful expression, shouting loudly and kicking over the food tray. One can easily imagine the predicament Lin Xi found himself in

The two individuals casually wrapped the young boy, their movements rough, as if they were bundling a pile of firewood

The leader Lin Xiong is the biological father of Lin Xi. However, five months ago, Lin Xiong entered the Beast Mountain alone to hunt ferocious beasts, and subsequently disappeared without a trace. When he reappeared, he was already dead. It is said that he was killed by a demon beast

In the Wulei Sect, during Lin Xiong's lifetime, no one held him in high regard. Now, even more so, they look down upon him.

However, just as the two completely disappeared outside the hall, the originally motionless youth suddenly began to slowly rise from the bed, showing no signs of fainting whatsoever

After Lin Xi reviewed these memories, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of regret. There is no doubt that his current situation is quite dire. Although he was fortunate enough to escape the flash flood of his previous life and was reborn into this body, he also inherited the troubles that came with it.

The night was as dark as ink, with flashes of lightning and booming thunder, as heavy rain poured down.

... ...

The ancient medicinal formula passed down by the Linxi family cannot be refined due to the inability to find the necessary medicinal materials

This has always been Lin Xi's way of doing things. Lin Xi would never act rashly before clarifying her situation

The plate on the ground was suddenly kicked over. The food spilled onto the floor. Li Jie looked at Lin Xi with a sinister smile: "Bringing you food is a favor from me. What, you don't want to eat? -- Then don't eat it!"

Looking at the exquisite garments on this young man, it is evident that he holds an extraordinary status. However, despite his severe injuries, he is left all alone in the grand hall without even a single attendant by his side. Clearly, his situation is dire.

Currently, Lin Xi has only one aunt, Lin Ruyun, who is the third elder of the sect. The two rely on each other for support

Alright. There are policies from above, and countermeasures from below. As for us runners, we need not worry so much.

This practice will continue until dawn

From now on, I am Lin Xi. No one will be able to bully me anymore. Nor will any scheming individuals be able to plot against me!

He also heard the words of those two disciples. Even such ordinary disciples look down on him, so one can imagine Lin Xi's predicament

Lin Xi gazed at the shadow cast by himself in the light, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes

Lin Xi has practiced traditional martial arts since childhood and understands that for ordinary people, the best way to heal is through rest. However, for martial artists, the best way to recuperate is by practicing their punches

This is a form of chronic poison, very insidious, yet it cannot escape the keen perception of Lin Xi, who is well-versed in the art of medicine.

Oh! You have quite the nerve to shout at me like that

Lin Xi felt the potency of the medicine and silently admired it

Lin Xi chose to undergo training in the deep mountains during the summer vacation to refine his martial arts skills. Unexpectedly, he encountered a flood that caused a sudden mountain torrent. Lin Xi, unfortunately, was swept into it.

It is a pity that I am not him

In just a moment, in less than the time it takes to burn half a stick of incense, the two of them left the main hall absentmindedly

However, neither of them knew that at the moment they were speaking these words, the young man on the bronze couch had his eyelashes flutter twice, and a trace of anger flashed across his face

After a night of practice, I felt refreshed and invigorated, not the slightest bit fatigued. This was an experience that Lin Xi had never felt before

He learned from memory that the medicinal herbs in this world possess remarkable potency and that there is an abundance of them. In contrast, the world he hails from has not only a thin concentration of natural energy but also finds it exceedingly difficult to locate medicinal herbs.

Hehe, who can blame our Third Elder for being his own aunt? If you had such an aunt, you could also act so cockily. However, this kid won't be able to enjoy it for long. I heard that the elders above are going to hold a council to revoke his qualification as an heir. By then, with his mediocre skills, if he gets into trouble again, it will be a dead end for him

A vast mountain looms, appearing faintly in the darkness. At the summit, flickering lights can be seen; as one approaches, a simple grand hall becomes visible. The hall is empty, with a few oil lamps made of copper illuminating the walls.

Lin Xi felt that the vitality in his body was gradually increasing. The pain in his chest was also lessening.

Lin Xi silently said
