Chapter 53 – The Old Man of the Hill

After Yanxi and Wen Zaituo left, Qing Xiaozhou also said her goodbyes. Yun Xian stayed, but Lynn Naya dragged her into the house for an “interrogation.” She was still a little worried and wanted to know why Yanxi had suddenly shown up.

Yun Xian didn’t resist and came clean immediately. “Senior Brother Wen said you were the daughter of his father’s old friend and that their two families had a very good relationship in the past. He couldn’t stand to see you wandering around al...

Chapter 52 – The Prodigal Son Returns

Yun Xian had wanted to say that maybe the granny had already met Naya, but then she thought of something and decided not to say it after all.

Their conversation was hidden using special means, so Lynn Naya didn’t hear it. She went downstairs, had Auntie Fengprepare two pounds of sliced pork for her, paid, and then went back home.

This unexpected encounter didn’t cause much of a stir in Lynn Naya’s mind.

Wen Zaituo. That was the name of the original owner’s ex-fiancé...

Chapter 51 – The Wise Man on the Hill

After circling outside for a while to make sure she had shaken off anyone following her, Lynn Naya quietly returned home.

When she came back, Zhang Mingguang and Xue Dailang were already asleep.

Since Xue Dailang was now eleven years old, Xue Yong had originally wanted to divide the house on their right side to give each of his children a room. But there was too much clutter in their house, and it would have been too cramped. XueDalang and Zhang Mingguang had a good relationship, ...

Chapter 50 – The Old, the Brave, and the Greedy

After Yun Xian fell asleep, Lynn Naya was about to continue her cultivation when she suddenly sensed an old lady with a basket of wild vegetables outside who had slipped and fallen. She waited for a moment and, when the old lady still didn’t get up, she opened the courtyard door and went outside.

“Are you okay?” The old lady had fallen right in front of her gate. There were even scratches on the ice on the ground. Lynn Naya stepped forward and helped the woman up, but as soon as s...

Chapter 49 – The Grand Scheme

Something wasn’t right.

Very not right.

Before, Lynn Naya didn’t have to go out and fight, so she hadn’t given it much thought. But now that she was standing on the edge of the battlefield, she couldn’t help but think more deeply about it.

She put herself in their shoes. If she were a low-level evil cultivator, she wouldn’t act alone, even if she wanted to ambush human cultivators. At the very least, she would find a powerful ally, ride on their coattails,...

Chapter 48 – The Land of the Unliving

At dawn the next day, Lynn Naya followed her three neighbors to the edge of the safe zone.

Each land-clearing team consisted of ten people. Xue Yong had learned that the six people he worked with at the market had also chosen to clear land, so the two sides hit it off and immediately formed a land-clearing team. They submitted their list of names to the supervisor in charge of assigning land and only had to wait for their names to be called.

While waiting, Xue Yong took everyone t...

Chapter 47 – The Hidden Fortune

Lynn Naya was living a very comfortable life in her secluded home.

She would wake up early and spar with Zhou Yuan and the two others, practice her martial skills in the morning, study talismans in the afternoon, and meditate in the evening. Her days were perfectly planned out. In her free time, she would train the younger ones or tell them stories.

Because the rabbits were communal property—and while they were close enough that such a thing didn’t matter—she still paid Scar...

Chapter 46 – The Unscrupulous Loot

Lynn Naya had used her spiritual sense to probe the storage bag and knew there were many things inside, but she didn’t expect there to be this many.

She instinctively took a step back from the pile of items, which was taller than she was. She covered her mouth and nose as a few spirit stones rolled to her feet.

The sheer quantity of the loot was unusual, and Lynn Naya felt more and more that she had encountered an evil cultivator.

A normal person wouldn’t immedi...

Chapter 45 – The Fish Head Feast

Lynn Naya was finally woken up by the smell of fish.

She had never eaten fish in all her time since transmigrating to this world. First, fish were scarce. Second, the fish in the West River were monopolized by the gangs, and fresh, live fish were incredibly expensive. Later, when she had a little bit of savings and could afford fish, she gave up on the idea because of the limited ingredients. Without seasoning, the river fish tasted very fishy.

Today, Auntie Feng somehow managed t...

Chapter 44 – The Art of Quiet Dedication

Lynn Naya had already sensed Zhou Feibai looking at her. Her Qi Condensation fifth-layer cultivation was only lacking in martial skills and combat experience. Besides that, she had all the other functions she needed. Zhou Feibai’s gaze wasn’t exactly subtle, so it was hard for her not to notice. But she didn’t plan on having any contact with him again.

She couldn’t say she hated Zhou Feibai. She just felt that he didn’t meet her standards for friendship.

With her Everlas...

Chapter 43 – The Food of Gratitude

Not wanting them to start a fight, Zhou Feibai quickly said, “Senior Sister Xiaozhou, should we go in and have a look? We’ve already arrived at the market entrance.”

“Let’s go see. The Junior Brothers and Sisters from the mountain have all come down in the past few days, and many low-level demonic cultivators have died at their hands. The mortal cultivators following them should have picked up some benefits. Maybe there are some good things in this market.” Qing Xiaozhou sai...

Chapter 42 – The Way of the World

Scarface Qing didn’t make a big deal out of it. Lynn Naya simply waved her hand and gathered all the talismans that the others had finished making.

Since they had already been collected once at noon, they hadn’t accumulated much this time, only a few dozen. With hers and Qiao Guanyuan’s, they only had a little over a hundred.

“That’s all for now.” To avoid disturbing the others, Lynn Naya went outside with Scarface Qing. The two of them stood face-to-face and counted t...

Chapter 41 – The Price of Survival

“This will be difficult,” Qiao Guanyuan said after listening to Lynn Naya’s idea. “We have too few people, and most of them can’t afford to buy talismans.”

The only source of spirit stones for mortal cultivators right now was from outer sect missions. With an income of two spirit stones a month, they had to buy weapons, learn cultivation methods, and get leather armor. They were constantly running low on funds. Even if they knew Light Body Talismans were useful, they couldn...

Chapter 40 – The Power of Five Thunders

Lynn Naya was filled with a mix of heartache and excitement as she looked at the Five Thunder Talisman, which was the result of so many failed first-grade talisman papers.

She held the talisman in her hand, unable to put it down. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this charm was more exquisite than any she had ever made.

I wonder what the talisman’s power is like.

The Talisman Book said the Five Thunder Talisman was incredibly powerful, but it didn’t ...

Chapter 39 – The Unofficial Teacher

Lynn Naya was walking back up the mountain, feeling a little pleased with herself. She was happy that she had succeeded in teaching, and at the same time, she had gained some new insights.

Maybe being low-key means not being at the very top, but also not being at the bottom. Not being too conspicuous, but also not intentionally hiding your skills. Being too conspicuous can get you cut down, and hiding too much might not be a good thing either. When everyone thinks they can step on y...

Chapter 38 – The Accidental Guru

After his talisman was a success, a hint of a smile finally appeared on the talented man’s expressionless face. He held his first-ever Spring Recovery Talisman and came to Lynn Naya. “I’m returning the favor of borrowing the table with a talisman. Please accept it.”

Accept it?

Of course, Lynn Naya would accept it. This talisman, as its name suggested, could heal all wounds and restore a certain amount of spiritual energy, making it perfect for emergencies. In a ma...

Chapter 37 – The Blessed Stone Table

“It worked?” The light from Lynn Naya’s brush was seen by the other three as well. Talisman masters had been around for a while now, and they all knew that failed talismans would be destroyed. A successful talisman, however, would have light sink into it just as they had seen.

“Yep.” Lynn Naya’s face was filled with joy as she held the Cleanse Talisman in her hand. “It wasn’t for nothing that I practiced day and night for over a month. Today, I saw a blade of spring gras...

Chapter 36 – The Price of Life

“What’s going on?” a group of Dao Palace disciples, who needed to sell their spoils, had just entered the cultivator market when they heard a series of shouts selling talisman-making techniques. “I didn’t hear that wrong, right? Talisman-making techniques? Weren’t the elders not supposed to let these things out?”

Many things in the Hall of Transmission could be learned by ordinary disciples, including the four arts of cultivation. But they had to take a Dao heart oath not ...

Chapter 35 – The Price of Knowledge

“Aren’t you giving me too much?” Lynn Naya had known Yun Xian wasn’t a stingy person ever since the first time YunXian had given her a spirit stone during a meal. But a full 10 percent of the shares was a bit much.

She had planned to give 50 percent of the 70 percent to the Dao Palace and have Yun Xian keep 20 percent for herself. If Yun Xian gave her 10 percent, wouldn’t that mean she was giving up half of her share to her?

I’m just a normal person. How can I dese...

Chapter 34 – A New Kind of Friendship

Lynn Naya could sense the spiritual energy fluctuations within Yun Xian’s body, and she knew her friend had succeeded. She wasn’t sure why it had taken her longer than the others, but as long as she was safe, that’s all that mattered.

To celebrate, Lynn Naya did as she had promised and brought out the wild grape wine that Xue Yong had brewed last year. But she didn’t have to get it herself. Xue Yong and his wife had eagerly dug up the wine jar and helped Lynn Nayahost her friend...

Chapter 33 – New Hope

From that day forward, Lynn Naya noticed that the Dao Palace had begun paving the way for the beast cores.

First, the number of Qi-Blood Pills in the administrative hall quietly increased. Then, more Dao Palace disciples went out on patrols. Each time, they would bring back a large number of hunting trophies, which the mortals could trade for by helping the Dao Palace with their fields.

With an abundant supply of food and the nourishment of meat, the pale faces of the people gradu...

Chapter 32 – A New Era of Cultivation

The fact that mortals without a spiritual root could now cultivate was a groundbreaking masterpiece.

Regardless of how profound the impact would be on the future of the human race, for Lynn Naya alone, it meant that if her cultivation were ever exposed, she wouldn’t be targeted.

This would not only greatly increase her safety, but the increase in mortal cultivators would inevitably lead to the flow of cultivation resources, which were previously controlled by the Dao Palace, int...

Chapter 31 – Hope for the Helpless

To prepare for the return of the green-and-black duo and their potential ‘big event’, Lynn Naya made a worst-case scenario plan. She stopped cultivating and focused all her energy on drawing Light Body Talismans, ready to run at a moment’s notice.

Three days later, the duo still hadn’t returned, and the mortal area started to get restless. After all, the cultivators were their protectors, and their disappearance made people feel uneasy.

Zhou Yuan was the most anxious of al...

Chapter 30 – The Talisman is Done

Seeing the people around her starting to get back on their feet, no one was happier than Xue Yong. Since the disaster, his pharmacy business had come to a halt. It had been a long time since he received any medicinal herbs or sold a single medicine.

Especially now that Scarface Qing was a man of power and Healer Lynn was his medicinal farmer, he felt a little useless in comparison. He even felt embarrassed to eat too much during meals.

Of course, the main reason was that as a pers...

Chapter 29 – The Genius Returns

The day Yanxi returned was nothing special. Lynn Naya’s house was just a wooden frame, the ground was covered in loose dirt, and the dust from the constant foot traffic was thick in the air, coating everyone’s face in a layer of grime.

Lynn Naya was discussing the autumn harvest with Scarface Qing. The farm was far from the foot of Mount Yu, so it was unaffected by the beast attack. The soil there was fertile, and the crops were growing well. Barring any natural disasters, it would ...

Chapter 28 – The Unseen Hand of Fate

Lynn Naya didn’t fully believe the red-robed girl when she said that the senior brother could keep the Dao Palace stable for at least twenty years. She wanted to know if he was really that powerful, but no matter how she asked, the girl refused to reveal anything else.

Since the girl wouldn’t talk, Lynn Naya had no choice but to take a different approach. She asked for the name of the person who caused the whole mess.

Shan Youwei.

She mentally made a note of the...

Chapter 27 – The Price of Arrogance

After returning to the underground shelter, Lynn Naya didn’t go to the bottom. She stayed in the tunnel, about a meter or two deep, and used her spiritual sense to observe her surroundings.

After about fifteen minutes, she confirmed that the Dao Palace disciple’s body in the burning house had been destroyed. Since no one came to search for it, she returned to the underground chamber.

The storage bag in her hand had lost its spiritual seal when its owner died. With a quick scan...

Chapter 26 – The Consequence of Greed

When Zhou Feibai said those words, there was not a trace of romance in his eyes, but a sense of judgment and certainty.

The bluntness of his statement made Lynn Naya frown because she knew deep down that this attitude was born out of condescension and disdain.

Whether he was aware of it or not, Zhou Feibai had already divided their social classes in his heart.

“So, in your mind, only cultivators are worthy of your friendship. Then I was indeed presumptuous. If I had known ...

Chapter 25 – The Ungiven Gift

Breaking through to the third layer of Qi Condensation meant two things for Lynn Naya: her five senses were sharper than before, and she could store twice as much spiritual energy. This meant she could sustain her cultivation for longer.

The only unfortunate thing was that she hadn’t learned any official martial arts and could only rely on her ‘Finger Flick’ to defend herself.

However, Lynn Naya was a realist. It was better to perfect one skill than to dabble in a hundred. I...

“What did your master say?” Lynn Naya asked.

“Master is in secluded cultivation. Now, my senior brother is teaching us. I know he’s always looked down on my bad talent. He said that if it wasn’t for the fact that humanity is in decline, a person like me wouldn’t even be able to get into the Dao Palace. He said that no matter how hard I cultivate for decades, I’ll only ever be a servant in the sect.”

“I’m not willing to accept that, but all my senior and junior ...
