Chapter 3
The night was enveloping, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky.
Jiang Lianyue returned to her dwelling alone while her brows knitted with intense disgust.
She had never seen such a shameless person!
If it hadn’t been for her being new to the Jiuyan Sect and her master’s kindness towards him, she would have taken action when Jiang Chen made those disrespectful remarks today!
After rummaging through her place, Jiang Lianyue’s disgust deepened.
Sure enough, they were gone!
Several of her personal garments had actually disappeared!
She had hoped that Jiang Chen had a shred of conscience left, that his offensive words were just nonsense, but to think… he actually stole her personal garments!
The mere thought of Jiang Chen with her personal clothes and not knowing what he would do with them made Jiang Lianyue feel nauseous, her skin crawling with goosebumps, and an urge to vomit surged within her.
“Ahhhh!!!”Jiang Lianyue was on the verge of going mad.
When had she ever been so humiliated in her life?
At this moment, she even felt an impulse to kill Jiang Chen!
It took her a long time to gradually calm down.
She was born with the potential and destiny of an empress. It would be a loss if she let such matters disturb her composure.
“I will gouge out your eyes if there’s a next time!”
Jiang Lianyue made up her mind.
Immersing her mind, she began to cultivate.
Soon, Jiang Lianyue sensed something was wrong.
She hadn’t even started her cultivation technique, yet the spiritual energy in the room had already begun to gather.
She intended to open her eyes to check, but suddenly she lost control of her body and couldn’t move!
Such a bizarre situation filled Jiang Lianyue with panic.
She subconsciously thought, could it be that Jiang Chen had sneaked in again and tampered with her in some way?
But this thought was quickly dismissed.
Jiang Chen’s Core Formation was destroyed today, and his cultivation had fallen to the lower four realms.
With such injuries, it would take at least ten days to half a month of rest before he could even walk.
Moreover, the ability to sever her connection with her body was definitely not something a cultivator of the lower four realms could achieve!
Just as Jiang Lianyue wondered if someone from the Jiang family had infiltrated the sect to take revenge for Jiang Chen, a blindingly dazzling white light exploded in her sea of consciousness.
As the white light faded, Jiang Lianyue found herself in a void, below her was the Jiuyan Sect, surrounded by immortal mist and cranes soaring.
“What’s going on?”
She was bewildered.
Then, dense golden lines appeared before her eyes, converging and outlining to form three large characters:
【First Life】
“First Life? What does that mean?”
Jiang Lianyue was even more confused.
Suddenly, the scene shifted, and she found herself appearing out of thin air in the main hall of the Ninth Peak of the Jiuyan Sect.
The hall was filled with disciples, the elders wore smiles, and Xiao Hongyi, seated at the head, was also beaming like a flower.
In the center of the hall, Jiang Lianyue saw herself.
At that moment, she was holding a cup of spiritual tea, kneeling before Xiao Hongyi, her expression as indifferent as ever.
“Lianyue greets Master.”
“Good! Good! Lianyue, from now on, you will be my disciple, Xiao Hongyi. Although you have the potential of an empress, your temperament is too indifferent. You must build good relationships with your senior brothers, and if you have any questions about cultivation, you can ask your Eldest Senior Brother.”
“Eldest Senior Brother?”
“Yes, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Ninth Peak! Although his talent is not as good as yours, he is also one in ten thousand, and his cultivation is above yours.”
“Lianyue remembers.”
Is this… the scene of my apprenticeship?!
In the void, Jiang Lianyue was startled.
She remembered the events of that day vividly, naturally recalling what happened next.
She clearly remembered that Jiang Chen appeared right after that.
Jiang Chen was not only verbally inappropriate towards her but even his scoundrel eyes roamed all over her body!
That was their first meeting.
And from this first meeting, Jiang Lianyue was certain that her Eldest Senior Brother was a shameless scoundrel beyond description!
“Master, rest assured, since Junior Sister has taken you as her master, she is like my own younger sister. We, as Senior Brother and sister, should work together to strengthen Ninth Peak and defend the righteous path of Jiuyan.”
A young man dressed in white appeared, raising his hand to help up the image of herself.
This person was Jiang Chen.
Upon seeing him, Jiang Lianyue in the void immediately furrowed her brows and felt a strong sense of disgust in her heart.
But soon, she noticed something was off.
Cultivators have excellent memories and do not make trivial mistakes. She clearly remembered that Jiang Chen was dressed in black on that day, but now he was in white.
She clearly remembered that Jiang Chen spoke frivolously with a look of lust on his face that day.
But now…
The white-clothed Jiang Chen had a friendly smile, his eyes were clean, and his every action was like that of a neighborly elder brother, making one feel warmth and familiarity.
“A younger sister? I’m used to being alone, so Senior Brother need not trouble himself.”
In the image, Jiang Lianyue brushed away the hand of the white-clothed Jiang Chen with a cold expression.
“Junior sister, you shouldn’t say that. Since I am your Eldest Senior Brother, it’s only natural that I should take care of you.”
The white-clothed Jiang Chen still smiled.
“Take care? You?”
Jiang Lianyue looked disdainful, “Due to my cultivation technique, I sometimes suffer from cold poison and need a fifth-grade Fire Impurity Pill to suppress it. Could Senior Brother give me a few?”
“This…”
The white-clothed Jiang Chen was taken aback, scratching his head and saying, “I, your Senior Brother, am not skilled in the way of pills, but I can make a trip to Elixir Peak and find some for Junior Sister.”
“Is your so-called care using other people’s things to look after me?”
Jiang Lianyue retorted.
The white-clothed Jiang Chen fell silent.
Seeing this, Jiang Lianyue in the void felt embarrassed.
Although this was not the scene from her memory, it still made her feel the urge to slap herself.
How could she be so sarcastic in response to someone’s kindness?
Even though the person was Jiang Chen, he was not Jiang Chen from her memory!
But soon, Jiang Lianyue felt that this was indeed something she would do!
When she first joined the Jiuyan Sect and took Ninth Peak’s Peak Master as her Master, her personality was arrogant and her nature cold.
This was because she was surrounded by those who coveted her talent and looks from a young age.
It took quite some time for her to understand a bit of human warmth and worldliness after feeling the sincerity of Peak Master Xiao Hongyi.
Suddenly, the scene changed.
At the Jiuyan Sect’s Elixir Peak, Jiang Chen appeared in the pill room, still dressed in white.
He held a pill recipe in his left hand and kept making gestures in the air with his right hand, clearly controlling the spiritual fire in the furnace with his own vital energy.
Maintaining this posture, he sometimes frowned in deep thought and sometimes murmured to himself.
“Fire Impurity Pill, a fifth-grade spiritual pill.”
“Its main ingredient is the Melting Heart Fire Ganoderma, combined with Mysterious Spirit Grass and Seven-Colored Ancient Vine, refined to suppress cold poison and temper fire attribute cultivation techniques.”
“When refining the Fire Impurity Pill, the spiritual fire undergoes seventy-nine changes, and after being refined for forty-nine days, a pill embryo can be formed.”
“The pill embryo has many impurities, and if one wants to successfully condense the pill, one must use pill fire to draw it out, otherwise…”
“It will explode?!”
Boom——!
As soon as he finished speaking, the pill furnace trembled and shattered, and Jiang Chen instantly turned black-faced after facing the aftermath.
“…Pfft!”
Jiang Lianyue, suspended in the void, couldn’t help but burst into laughter upon seeing the scene.
What kind of person does this?
It was just a casual jest of hers, yet he actually took it seriously and came to learn pill refining.
The Fire Impurity Pill is a fifth-grade spirit pill that can only be refined by a fifth-grade pill refiner.
Even if Jiang Chen has talent, it’s impossible for him to become a fifth-grade pill refiner in such a short time!
But that’s not all.
Ordinary pill refiners would commit the pill recipe to memory before starting to refine it, but not Jiang Chen. He had the audacity to refine while reading the recipe! Look, didn’t he cause an explosion in the furnace?
After her laughter, Jiang Lianyue was certain: “He is definitely not the Eldest Senior Brother from my memory.”
