Chapter 1: Entering a Different World

These gemstones vary in size, with the larger ones being as big as an adult's fist. They are all blue, differing only in shades.

Being able to collect these few items, one can imagine Lin Yan's happiness. She walked slowly along the way, picking various peculiar plants, both familiar and unfamiliar.

On this day, she finally entered the city. Lin Yan, following the instructions of the Duchess, put on a veil. She lifted the curtain and watched with great interest. Most of the buildings had tall spires and varied shapes. They were completely different from the architecture of the Central Plains that Lin Yan was familiar with, possessing a unique ancient charm.

When the surface of the lake became calm, she carefully looked into it and saw a stunning beauty emerging from the water. Her skin was like jade, her brows resembled distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn waters, and beneath her small cherry lips was a rounded chin

His powerful dragon breath permeates this valley, causing no animals to dare intrude. Even the people of this continent are filled with trepidation under the pressure of this dragon breath, and they do not dare to act recklessly.

Lin Yan was unaware of this. The Magic Martial Arts Academy? Based on what Alif had said, she speculated that the so-called magic was a type of technique that involved the beasts in the forest breathing fire. This was quite novel for Lin Yan. With her powers diminished, perhaps she could practice magic, Lin Yan thought. This idea excited her, and as her mood brightened, she felt more energetic.

Lin Yan said: "I don't know either. I only remember waking up in the woods, and it took me half a month to encounter you all. I cannot recall anything from before."

Half an hour has passed, an hour has passed. No, still nothing. There is nothing left in the meridians. She desperately took out two more pills and swallowed them, but still there was no reaction. Tears of unwillingness finally flowed out!

The Duchess was just about to take a bath when she suddenly heard a strange melody.

Lin Yan could feel the gaze of everyone upon her. Those eyes were so intense that she felt a heat rising throughout her entire body

Lin Yan was unaware that these animals are referred to as magical beasts on this continent. Magical beasts possess intelligence and are capable of launching magical attacks. However, they are not commonly seen, making them extremely precious

As she witnessed another drop of milky white liquid fall, Lin Yan instinctively opened her mouth to catch it. After drinking about ten drops, a sudden dull pain emerged in her stomach, prompting Lin Yan to swim hurriedly towards the shore

At that moment, a fluffy, unknown little creature leaped through the trees and stopped on the branch where Lin Yan was hiding. It showed no fear of humans, blinking its round eyes at Lin Yan a few times, and even stuck out its pink tongue to lick itself before bounding away, looking utterly adorable.

Before long, the music faded away. However, everyone remained in place, each seemingly entranced and intoxicated.

Without inner strength, without martial arts, in this world where the strong prevail, what can she use to protect herself? Lin Yan, who regards martial arts as the sole meaning of life, trembles all over in fear at this moment

Lin Yan strolled leisurely through the forest, feeling an immense joy. It was her first time out after growing up, and without anyone nagging in her ear, this beautiful life of freedom brought her unparalleled happiness just at the thought of it

The lady shook her head, saying, "I do not think so. This girl has an unknown background and is too beautiful. I fear she may bring misfortune to our son." Seeing her husband hesitating a bit, she added, "Wolfert is still young at heart; perhaps he is not as easily infatuated in matters of emotion as he is with other things."

"Do you think she is from the Eastern continent?" asked the Duke, taking a sip of tea from the East.

Before long, the carriage came to a stop again, and the young Duke Norton rode over to announce that it was time for dinner. Lin Yan, with the support of Alif, stepped out of the carriage

Indeed, such a woman is no wonder that Wolfte is infatuated. The Duke said, I only hope she does not bring misfortune to Norton

A pristine white tablecloth is spread over the grass, and various dishes have been arranged. A splendid woman in her forties is seated at the head of the table, smiling as she looks at Lin Yan

Lin Yan has been here for over a month, nearly turning this small plain inside out. However, since the first day, she has not discovered any other treasures. Of course, the treasures Lin Yan refers to are those rare and extraordinary items. As for the hundred-year-old Chinese knotweed and similar items that she once considered treasures, they are practically like weeds here

Thank you

Is this really me? She gently stroked her face and thought, Such a appearance, perhaps even my junior sister is not as good? No, she cannot compare at all. I used to hope to be taller and fairer, but what is the use? My current appearance is more beautiful than before by hundreds or thousands of times. But the price I paid is that I lost my internal strength! According to what they say, this continent is completely dominated by martial power. How will I protect myself in the future? I have grown taller, and my current appearance is more beautiful than before by hundreds or thousands of times. But the price I paid is that I lost my internal strength! According to what they say, this continent is completely dominated by martial power. How will I protect myself in the future? I have grown taller, I have become more beautiful. To say that I have no joy would be impossible. However, this joy is far outweighed by my concerns about the future.

She felt truly happy. Lin Yan thought to herself, having eaten so many rabbits, the tenderness and deliciousness of this one was indeed the best she had ever experienced. She picked up a large tree leaf, preparing to wrap the remaining rabbit meat, when suddenly she heard a swift sound of wind behind her. Instinctively, her muscles tensed, and she rolled on the ground to narrowly evade the attack

We are about to arrive at the Duke's residence soon said Alif as she leaned in

This valley seems to gather an abundance of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The disciples of the Xu Guan sect are already well-versed in pharmacology, and as Lin Yan traveled along this path, she couldn't help but marvel repeatedly, for she encountered at least three types of medicinal herbs that she had previously thought only existed in legends.

A plant known as Tianlingcao, characterized by its blue color and black flowers, is a sacred remedy for healing. Regardless of the severity of internal or external injuries, as long as there is a trace of breath remaining, it can bring a person back from the brink of death.

Having just climbed to the ground, Lin Yan felt an unbearable cramping pain in her abdomen. She wanted to stand up, but a wave of intense pain surged through her limbs.

As she hopped along, she lost track of time. Suddenly, she felt something was amiss. She stopped, turned her head, and pondered: she had just come down from Kunlun's Ziwang Peak, and then joyfully leaped through the mountain peaks. What happened next? Ah, she saw a flickering light in the valley and hurriedly ran over to take a look. What happened after that?

As for the blue gem in the monster's brain, it is called the magic core, which has many unique uses and is of extraordinary value. Its value is related to the level of the monster. In other words, the deeper the color of the monster, the higher its level, and correspondingly, the value of the magic core is also higher. Even the flesh of the monster is a rare high-quality food.

"Miss, you are truly beautiful; I never knew a person could be so beautiful." Alif has said this three times already

In a short period, it became widely known that a mysterious guest had arrived at the Duke of Norton’s residence, capable of playing celestial melodies on a strange instrument that only the gods could comprehend. This news spread further and further.

This should be quite good. Her breathtaking beauty, along with her black hair and black eyes, makes me wonder where in the empire there could be another girl like her. If there were, it would have been known to the world long ago.

She walked eastward in a daze, unaware of how long she had been walking. She only noticed that the trees were becoming smaller and smaller, the water was flowing gently, and the small stream gradually transformed into a river

The carriage had already set off amidst Alif's ramblings. Lin Yan learned that this continent was divided into five principalities, all of which were under the jurisdiction of the Haster Empire. On the other side of the sea, there was another continent. "Miss, you must be from that eastern continent, right? You look just like them, with black hair and black eyes," Alif said. Lin Yan felt a stir in her heart and began to inquire, but Alif did not know much either; she merely stated that it was a mysterious continent, separated by the ocean, and that occasionally ships would come to the Haster Empire, although she had never seen one herself.

Lin Yan possessed a substantial amount of spiritual medicine within her body, thus she did not feel hunger. Moreover, with her internal energy completely depleted, she refrained from provoking any animals. She staggered eastward, and when thirsty, she had fragrant fruits in her bracelet, and when hungry, she had prepared jerky.

In the samurai's procession, a group of people gracefully entered the city gate. Upon entering the gate, there was another wide avenue, measuring a full 1 li in length, with two rows of people lined up neatly on either side, all bowing in greeting. Wolfte waved his hand, and everyone straightened up, yet they still kept their eyes down, not daring to look directly.

At the time of her visit to Ruoxu Temple, Lin Yan was already renowned for her fondness for collecting items. This time, as she left the mountain gate, she brought with her a considerable number of rare spiritual medicines such as thousand-year-old ginseng, huangjing, shouwu, and ganoderma. Upon seeing these spiritual medicines everywhere, her mood shifted from the initial joy of witnessing beautiful scenery to the delight of encountering treasures.

Under the lady's orders, Alif became Lin Yan's temporary maid, taking her to reside in a beautifully decorated room

Lin Yan was unaware that she had arrived in a strange and unfamiliar world! The white light was, in fact, an extremely rare space-time rift! Out of mere curiosity, Lin Yan inadvertently entered another time and space.

She is a revered disciple of the Sacred Sect in the martial world, known as Ruoxu Guan. The main temple of Ruoxu Guan is located on Kunlun Mountain

"Please take a seat," the lady said. Lin Yan performed a bow and sat down

Lin Yan dragged the monster to the riverbank, intending to wash it clean and dissect it, but she discovered a glowing blue object protruding from the severed head. Upon taking it out, she found that the object was about the size of a baby's fist, resembling a gem, emitting a faint blue glow, though she could not discern what it was. However, girls naturally have a fondness for luminous objects. Lin Yan casually tossed it into her spatial bracelet, contemplating hunting a couple more prey to see.

Madam's sharp gaze fixed intently on Lin Yan, perhaps to discern whether she was lying. After a moment, she nodded and revealed that kind smile again, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, come, have a piece of beef." She placed a piece of beef into Lin Yan's bowl. Lin Yan expressed her thanks and began to eat.

It is unknown what kind of animal this is, capable of spewing flames; this is something that has never been mentioned by the senior disciples. Lin Yan pondered: the outside world is truly rich and colorful. She had never descended the mountain, and even now, she still does not realize that this place is another unfamiliar time and space

The Ruoxu Temple holds an immensely sacred position within the martial arts world. Every few years, the temple dispatches several disciples to venture down the mountain for training. These disciples possess extraordinary martial skills, and their every action can often influence the balance of the entire martial arts community, and even potentially affect the balance of the whole world.

"Truly prosperous," Lin Yan sighed

"I am dying, I want to die." Wolfte gazed foolishly at her stunning smile, feeling that he would willingly die for her at that very moment

Seeing her foolish son finally leave Lin Yan's carriage and come to her side, the Duchess gently reproached him: "You silly child, why did you say you wanted her to go study? There are not just you alone in the academy! Prince Rowenhal is also studying there! This girl is so beautiful, are you not afraid that others will take her away? With such looks, even I am moved, do you really believe that others are blind?" Looking at her son with his head down, visibly anxious from her scolding, the Duchess sighed softly, "You child, sigh!" A mother knows her son best; this son is somewhat infatuated, and given the current situation, he is likely falling into the depths of love. Thinking of this, the Duchess sighed heavily again.

Lin Yan quickly lowered the curtains, leaned against the car wall, and pressed her hand to her heart to calm her shy and anxious feelings. At that moment, faint sounds of disappointed sighs could be heard from outside the car

By the way, perhaps it was poison; that milky white water is toxic. Lin Yan quickly took out the Resurrection Flower and consumed it, but it was still ineffective

Lin Yan sat lazily on the grass, stretching contentedly, as the golden rabbit meat was already in short supply

Lin Yan slowly swam in the lake, opened her eyes, and saw the green grass swaying, with not a single fish in sight. She felt a bit puzzled, but did not delve deeper into it. After a while, she swam to the opposite shore of the lake. Suddenly, she noticed a dark cave entrance hidden beneath the lush grass. The entrance appeared very deep, yet a faint rainbow light emanated from within. The light was dim, and Lin Yan rubbed her eyes, realizing she was not mistaken. The entrance looked very deep, yet a faint rainbow light emanated from within. The light was dim, and Lin Yan rubbed her eyes, realizing she was not mistaken. She thought to herself: this must be what the legendary fairy cave looks like. Once this thought crossed her mind, she felt an irresistible urge to go in and take a look. With her heartbeat gradually quickening, she climbed up, carefully pulled aside the grass at the cave entrance, and walked inside

The creature that attacked her was a monster resembling a bear, and it could actually breathe fire. Just as Lin Yan managed to dodge, the monster unleashed another burst of flames. Lin Yan leaped onto a branch, drew the soft sword tied to her body, and swung it towards its head.

Lin Yan felt a moment of sadness before regaining her composure. She opened another door and saw a huge mirror inside, reflecting an extraordinarily beautiful woman. Lin Yan was taken aback; she usually used a bronze mirror and had never seen herself so clearly before.

Lin Yan sat down cross-legged, as usual, preparing to circulate her internal energy for a complete cycle. However, she found her meridians to be empty, devoid of any true qi. Lin Yan was greatly alarmed; she tried to cultivate again, but the situation remained the same. The internal energy she had cultivated for over ten years had completely vanished!

At this moment, Lin Yan felt as if she could die. After countless attempts and failures, she could only sit there motionless, staring blankly at the lake.

At that moment, a rabbit dashed out from the bushes. Lin Yan waved her hand and shot a small stone from her hand, causing the rabbit to convulse twice on the ground before it lay still.

Upon hearing these words, Wolfte's face turned red, and he appeared flustered and at a loss, which was quite endearing. Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh, her clear and delicate voice drifting in the wind, making the knights feel as if they were about to float away.

The entire cave wall was adorned with gemstones! There were fiery red gems, some as small as grains of rice, others as large as fists, along with various green, blue, purple, and yellow gemstones. They shimmered in a kaleidoscope of colors, as if in a dream or fairyland. These gems emitted a fantastical glow, causing the delighted Lin Yan to nearly kneel down. Her first reaction upon regaining her composure was to pick them all, to gather them all.

The duke nodded and said, "You say that Wolfte is quite infatuated with her? If that is the case, we might as well have them get engaged first before making any plans. This is our proud son's first time liking a girl, so it would be better for us to take the initiative. Our son is good in many ways, but he is a bit too infatuated; if Lin Yan were to be taken away by someone else, I truly worry that he would never recover from it."

It is now the time when the dragon lies in slumber, completely unaware that there are indeed those in this world who are not afraid of its might. Lin Yan, hailing from another realm, is naturally oblivious to this fact

Calm down, calm down! The situation has not yet reached an irretrievable point; one must remain calm!" she commanded herself. The joy from just a moment ago had completely vanished

If there is leftover meat, Lin Yan will marinate it and store it in her space bracelet

This place is indeed teeming with animals, and they can all emit something. Some breathe fire, some shoot ice blades, and there are even animals with wings that move at incredible speeds. The peculiarities are numerous, and Lin Yan has collected countless animals along the way. Eventually, she no longer wanted the meat, only extracting the gems from their heads

However, if the essence of the illusory view lies in entering the Dao through martial arts, then it ultimately shatters the void. Therefore, the fame and fortune of the mortal world are not only of no benefit to their martial arts cultivation, but rather detrimental.

After spending a whole day, most of the gems on the cave wall had been collected. When she fell into a deep sleep, a sweet smile lingered at the corners of her mouth

After a while, the carriage came to a stop, and a woman's voice was heard, "Miss, I have been ordered to check on your injuries." Lin Yan opened the carriage door and saw a girl of about fourteen or fifteen standing outside. She had long, yellow hair styled in a peculiar manner, and her round face was fair, with a few freckles scattered across her nose. Her pair of bright blue eyes was staring blankly at Lin Yan.

She was lost in her own thoughts, unaware that after the young man spoke, all the knights on horseback turned their heads to look at her. The knight who had asked her a question was no exception, gazing at her with a dazed expression

She hurriedly walked out of the room, following the direction from which the music was coming, only to find that there were people everywhere outside, as if everyone from the duke's residence had come out. Everyone was staring blankly up at a window. She looked up and saw that it was indeed Lin Yan's room, and the window was not open. She breathed a sigh of relief, but then her heart tightened again. Among the crowd, her foolish son was standing there, entranced.

The excruciating pain struck with such intensity and suddenness that Lin Yan fainted from the agony. After a while, she was awakened by the pain, feeling that this suffering was truly worse than death. It felt as if every part of her body was being sliced away by needles and knives, and she would rather be dead; however, her limbs were immobile, rendering her unable to die even if she wished to.

Mount Kunlun is a legendary abode of immortals in ancient tales, shrouded in mist and clouds throughout the year, with faint celestial music echoing, attracting countless people to come and pay their respects

Upon arriving at a complex of buildings, the knights dismounted. Wolfte first assisted his mother down from the carriage, then approached Lin Yan's carriage, extending his hand to help her down as well. As they entered the grand entrance, a middle-aged man hurriedly approached from the vast hall. He greeted both the lady and Wolfte with a bow, then curiously glanced at Lin Yan. Since Lin Yan was veiled, he did not display any signs of rudeness. As they entered the grand entrance, a middle-aged man hurriedly approached from the vast hall. He greeted both the lady and Wolfte with a bow, then curiously glanced at Lin Yan. Since Lin Yan was veiled, he did not display any signs of rudeness.

Lin Yan continuously walked towards the place where the sun rises. After one month, she arrived at a valley. The valley was filled with lush trees. These trees were all exceptionally sturdy, similar to the primeval forest on Kunlun Mountain. Notably, the leaves here were not all green, but rather a vibrant array of colors, incredibly beautiful

Before long, a small cave appeared ahead. Lin Yan leaned in to take a look. Upon seeing it, she immediately threw herself halfway to the ground. After getting up from the ground in a completely ungraceful manner, Lin Yan jumped up in wild joy, shouting and exclaiming, completely devoid of the elegant demeanor expected of a distinguished disciple.

As she traveled along this path, Lin Yan felt a sense of discomfort throughout her body. In addition to the unsettling gazes of those men, the Duchess's probing eyes also made her feel uneasy

Yes, madam

Lin Yan thought for a while and finally remembered that she had fainted and upon waking up, she found herself in this grove. However, she could not recall how she had fainted.

In such extreme pain, she fainted, and upon waking, she fainted again, not knowing how much time had passed, as if it had been thousands or tens of thousands of years. Gradually, the pain began to lessen, and after a while, it finally ceased. Lin Yan felt as if her entire body had been soaked in oil, sticky and slippery, and it emitted a foul odor.

It was not until the following day that Lin Yan awoke. As she opened her eyes, the first thing that came into view was the fabric curtain above her head. Taking a glance around, she realized that she was likely inside a carriage. She slowly sat up and gently pulled back the carriage curtain.

After turning a bend, Lin Yan saw a small lake, its water a vibrant green and exceptionally clear. She let out a cheer and dove into the lake. At that moment, a strange and pleasant sensation suddenly spread from her heart and lungs to her limbs, a feeling so ethereal that it made her moan in comfort. After an unknown period, Lin Yan opened her eyes and realized that she had been floating on the water's surface all along, without sinking.

"Come here." Lin Yan repeated it twice before the girl came to her senses, embarrassedly sticking out her tongue, lifting her skirt, and climbing up.

After feeling melancholic for a while, Lin Yan took out the flute from her bracelet, placed it to her lips, and began to play.

On this day, Lin Yan had breakfast and continued on her journey in a daze

Even the strongest of the present age do not dare to step into the territory of the legendary Grim Reaper. As for the Dragon Clan, it has long since transformed into an ancient myth. No one knows that it still exists in the world

After walking for two hours, Lin Yan seemed to hear voices coming from a distance, so she moved in the direction of the sound. Before long, the voices became increasingly distinct.

May I be so bold as to ask, Miss, have you come from the Eastern Continent

Lin Yan trembled as she took out a Seven-Leaf Fruit and swallowed it, waiting for the familiar surge of warmth to rise from her dantian

The only thing that seemed off was that there were no animals to be seen here. This was somewhat strange. However, Lin Yan could not come up with a reason for it, so she decided to let it go

On this day, she returned to the small lake outside the cave, leisurely enjoying herself. She swam to the stone wall on one side of the lake and leaned against it to rest

And this valley is the territory of the most powerful creature on this continent—a primordial giant dragon

A plant known as Huishenghua is a type of small white flower. Its rhizome is highly toxic, yet the flower itself is the best antidote. All antidotes for the world's most potent poisons are based on it as the main ingredient

The sword light flashed like lightning, and the monster could not evade it in time, resulting in half of its head being severed, blood splattering everywhere, while Lin Yan swiftly sidestepped to avoid the attack

"Of course, our Norton Duchy is the most prosperous among the five great duchies. Even the largest academy in the empire, the 'Imperial Academy of Magic and Martial Arts,' is located in our Norton Duchy," Alif said proudly

A day has passed, two days have passed, three days have passed. Lin Yan still sits there, her posture unchanged. From a distance, she appears like a jade-carved beauty, devoid of any breath of life

Lin Yan remembered that there was a record in the Sutra Repository: there are barbarian people whose eyes are like jewels, shining in seven colors. Could it be that I have arrived in the West? But why do I understand everything he says completely

Tall trees can be seen everywhere here, and there is a type of tree that bears large, fan-like leaves, laden with heavy, plump fruits, from which a sweet fragrance emanates through the thick shells. Lin Yan could not resist drawing the soft sword from her waist, slicing off one of the fruits, which immediately released an overwhelming aroma. Overcome by temptation, Lin Yan disregarded whether it was poisonous or not and took a bite, a refreshing fragrance instantly permeating her entire being, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort

It is once again the time for the disciples of Ruoxu Temple to undergo training in the world. This time, Ruoxu Temple has dispatched three female disciples, all of whom are outstanding representatives of the younger generation. Their objective is to cultivate in the world, with no set time limit, until they reach the innate realm.

It is unknown how long Lin Yan had been sitting there. Finally, one day, she slowly opened her eyes, gradually moving her stiff limbs, and took a shower. After that, she slowly walked along the cave towards the direction of the rising sun

This building is inadequately described by the term "tall" alone. It rises in layers, reaching directly into the clouds at its highest point, creating a truly magnificent sight. It has been constructed as a city within a city. At the city gate, four armored warriors stand guard, the city walls are a full 3 zhang high, and the city gate is also quite wide

The cave was deep and winding. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, it became dark inside. Lin Yan groped her way around two large bends and saw a faint light ahead, though it was not a rainbow of colors. After walking for another half an hour, the light ahead grew brighter, and before long, she had exited the cave.

Mansi has met the young master and the lady

"Ahem," the lady coughed a few times. The young duke's face turned red, and he hurriedly put a piece of beef into his mouth, almost spilling the soup in his fluster. The attendants beside them merely stared blankly at Lin Yan, and after being roused, they glanced around before secretly looking at Lin Yan again, then fell into a daze.

It is precisely for this reason that over the course of thousands of years, the Xuanguan has gradually become the leading force of the righteous path, an existence that transcends the mundane world within the martial arts community

Lin Yan was unaware of the underlying reasons and recklessly consumed a large quantity. Although she achieved the effects of muscle and bone transformation, resulting in significant changes to her height and appearance, the potency of the medicine was too intense for her body to endure, leading to the shattering of her dantian. If she had consumed a few more drops of that milky liquid, it is likely that her entire meridian system would have been severed, rendering her incapacitated.

What do you think she saw

The Duchess proposed that Lin Yan temporarily reside at the Duke's residence, and the young Duke immediately became radiant and in a cheerful mood. He frequently leaned towards the front of the carriage, engaging in conversation with Lin Yan. His full name is Wolfte Norton, he is nineteen years old, and he is currently in his third year at the Imperial Academy of Magic and Martial Arts, with classes set to commence in half a month.

Manzi, please arrange a guest room for Miss Lin Yan in the main building

Lin Yan was unaware that this lake water was the legendary holy water, possessing the ability to transform muscles and bones. The milky white droplets were equally miraculous, serving as a powerful tonic that could stimulate the body's latent potential. After proper refinement of these two substances, consumption could enable one to reach the innate realm, making the formation of a golden elixir highly probable

Upon exiting the cave, Lin Yan was momentarily stunned; before her lay a vast expanse of flat land. No! It should be described as a garden, filled with towering trees, each adorned with a variety of fruits exuding a sweet fragrance. The ground was scattered with clusters of vibrant flowers.

As she skillfully examined Lin Yan's wound, she said: "Miss, your injury has completely healed. Fortunately, the lady is a light healer; otherwise, it would have been unfortunate if your beautiful skin had been left with scars."

The lake water rippled, and though it was not very clear, even in this blurred view, Lin Yan herself was mesmerized. Is this me? Lin Yan thought, is this stunning beauty in the lake really me? Although there are countless beauties in the virtual realm, none can compare to the extraordinary beauty reflected in the lake.

"Look, look, that is the Duke of Norton’s residence," said Alif, tugging at Lin Yan’s sleeve and pointing at a tall building.

However, after an entire day, Lin Yan still felt hungry. She began to miss the meals from her sect. It seemed she needed to hunt some prey to satisfy her hunger, so she lowered her head, trying to find traces of animal activity on the ground

At this moment, a faint fragrance wafted in. This scent was very subtle and light; if one did not pay close attention, it was hardly detectable. Lin Yan opened her eyes and looked around, noticing a drop of milky-white water seeping from a stone wall, and the fragrance originated from there

After observing for a while, she noticed some claw marks in the direction of the rising sun. Following the tracks, she walked about five or six miles and found more marks. Lin Yan felt a surge of joy in her heart, leaped onto a branch, and began to wait quietly.

Lin Yan jumped into the lake to wash herself clean. After taking out her clothes from the bracelet and putting them on, she discovered that the entire robe had become short and small, exposing more than half of her jade-like small feet

In the bustling city, Lin Yan did not see anyone with black eyes and black hair like herself

"Magic Martial Arts Academy?" Lin Yan inquired

A young girl was walking in the mountains, appearing to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. Her features were well-proportioned and captivating, and her pair of eyes was particularly clear, resembling autumn water. However, her skin tone was slightly darker, and she was on the shorter side.

A fruit known as the Seven-Leaf Fruit, it bears seven fiery red leaves, supporting a single fiery red fruit. According to legend, this fruit bears once every five hundred years. This fruit has the effect of enhancing internal strength; a single Seven-Leaf Fruit can increase one's power by thirty years, making it a coveted elixir among martial artists. As Lin Yan walked along, she was astonished to find as many as seven of these Seven-Leaf Fruits.

Indeed! Do you want to go as well? The entrance exam is coming up soon, and I can take you there.

At that moment, a voice suddenly called out, "Who?" Immediately after, there was the sound of an arrow slicing through the air. Lin Yan instinctively wanted to turn and dodge, but her body, having lost its internal energy, did not obey her commands. With a whoosh, Lin Yan felt a sharp pain in her shoulder, and coupled with the exhaustion she had endured for several days, her vision darkened, and she fainted just like that

Lady Norton and her husband sat in the living room, recounting in detail their experiences along the way, and informing her husband about Lin Yan. "According to the information obtained by Alif and the behavior observed during this journey, it is possible that this girl has truly lost her memory"

Everyone widened their eyes and breathed rapidly. Suddenly, with a "thud," a knight, lost in thought, actually fell off his horse.

Throughout her journey, she had taken the rejuvenating flower, which deterred any small creatures such as insects from approaching her. Moreover, the magical beasts she had encountered deep in the forest were nowhere to be seen, resulting in a profound sense of tranquility

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled patterns on the grass below. In the grass, various small flowers adorned the scene, truly a sight to behold

It is unlike any music one usually hears. This sound seems to weep and lament, to sing and cry, twisting and turning endlessly, flowing continuously. At times, it soars high into the clouds, evoking a sense of flying into the sky, while at other times, it drifts across the wilderness, imbued with profound loneliness and loss

Well then, in a few days, let them go to the Magic Martial Academy and secretly send someone to keep an eye on Wolfte. As for the rest, it is not our concern

Have I grown taller? A surge of joy filled her heart. Not only that, it seems I have also become fairer.

After her mood settled, Lin Yan leaned against the tree, supporting her weary body. She felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

Is this a dream? Lin Yan pinched the back of her hand hard, almost crying out in pain. She wandered through the flower and fruit forest as if in a trance. How beautiful it is, could this be the abode of immortals?

Only a few young men were seen riding on horseback, followed by a horse-drawn carriage. Before she could see clearly, one of the young men at the front rode closer and asked, "Miss, are you awake?" Lin Yan looked up and saw that this young man had blue eyes, golden hair, well-defined features, and a notably tall stature

After arriving in the room, Lin Yan took a shower, washing away all her fatigue. Then she made an excuse of being tired and sent Alif away. She sat cross-legged and attempted to cultivate her energy once more, but her meridians still felt empty.

Lin Yan came to her senses and, upon seeing the expressions of those around her, couldn't help but blush, lowering her head. She was already a beauty of unparalleled grace, and with her jade-like face now flushed, a strand of hair gently caressed her white, jade-like neck in the evening breeze, making the young man feel as if his heart was pounding like a drum, as if it were about to leap out of his throat.

The cavalry turned onto a main street, which was very wide, and from time to time, knights on horseback passed by, all of whom saluted the carriage.

Now Alif is practically following her everywhere. The little girl is impatient, yet adorable, and Lin Yan gradually calms down amidst her incessant chatter

--- Zhuangzi

She sighed, stood up, and gazed towards the horizon through the window. It was now evening, with the sun setting in the west, and the sunset clouds painted half the sky red. This scenery was reminiscent of her hometown, yet she could not find anyone resembling those from her hometown.

After discovering that there was nothing wrong, Lin Yan continuously collected this type of fruit, which she referred to as fragrant fruit. She placed all these fragrant fruits into the spatial bracelet given to her by her master when she left the mountain.

On Mount Miao Gu Ye, there reside divine beings. Their skin is like ice and snow, and they are graceful like a young maiden. They do not consume grains, but instead, they inhale the wind and drink the dew

Lin Yan could only manage a bitter smile. Alif's earlier introduction left her feeling anxious, as she had no idea what kind of place she had arrived at! This place was completely different from the Central Plains. In fact, she had already begun to doubt when she encountered those magical beasts, but she had always held onto a glimmer of hope. Now it seemed that she had entered a world entirely different from her understanding. The worst part was that in this completely unfamiliar place, she had lost her powers; where was she to go from here?

This little girl is named Lin Yan, and she is one of the three disciples. The martial arts and mental cultivation methods of the Xu Guān are suitable for women to practice, and they also have the effect of enhancing beauty and maintaining youth. Therefore, the female disciples in the temple are generally very beautiful. Among them, Lin Yan is considered the most beautiful based on her features, but unfortunately, her body has not fully developed, and her skin is relatively dark, so her overall appearance is somewhat lacking compared to the other two.

I truly fear that our son will be unable to extricate himself!" As the night deepened, the Duchess leaned against her husband's chest, speaking with concern.

She told Lin Yan that sitting in the carriage behind was the Duchess of Norton, and the young man outside who was asking questions was the lady's only son, the future master of the Duchy of Norton. The others were all escorts. They had just returned from inspecting their territory and were preparing to have lunch yesterday when they thought a beast was approaching. The young master shot an arrow, but unexpectedly, the beast was not hit; instead, it struck a fairy. Meeting Alif's gaze filled with obsession and envy, Lin Yan smiled wryly.

This forest is also known as the Death Forest, which locals speak of with fear. For thousands of years, people have entered but never returned. By now, it has long become a forbidden place

Such beautiful scenery is rarely seen in a lifetime, and Lin Yan looked extremely delighted.

Lin Yan experienced the agony of life for the second time today! What is the Seven Leaf Fruit? It is a sacred medicine in the martial arts world. A common person only needs to take one pill, and taking two not only brings no benefit but also poses significant harm. Yet, I have taken three pills without any effect. What is happening to me?

The young girl named Alif is the personal maid of the Duchess of Norton. She is lively in nature and, regardless of whether Lin Yan responds or not, she continues to speak incessantly to herself
