　　Chapter 8: Yuewu
　　
　　Yuege officially began her life at Dongming Academy.
　　
　　She was assigned to the Metal Spirit class and has chosen to study Alchemy.

　　Although Yuege was very interested in alchemy… It was a shame that her talent wasn’t there. Unlike Jiufang Scum, who could learn to refine rare pills on his own, conceal his identity and wear a hood, and go out to major auctions. The main character! How can one not making money from refining pills!?[1]

　　The teachers who taught at the academy were almost all XuanHuan novel standards – creepy bad old men, or mature and sexy beauties. In addition, there were a handful of muscular men and handsome youths – the latter would probably be cannon fodders.
　　
　　As it turned out, it wasn’t long before the news broke that a certain handsome young teacher had lost a bet with a senior surnamed Jiufang and had to leave the Academy with a grudge.

　　Whatever, betting with anyone was bad enough, betting with the main character, was simply destined to lose.

　　In the end, Dongming Academy was the most prestigious academy in the Shenlan Empire, and Yuege, as the leader of the Dongming new students, was treated extremely well, and was given an independent small courtyard. However, she didn’t accept it, she decided to live in Zhu Yu’s courtyard, trying to cultivate while being responsible to cook meals for both of them.

　　Yuege felt that after taking off her apron and handing a bowl full of food to Zhu Yu, she felt like she was feeding a proud and detached white cat that allowed her to rub her fur after being fed.
　　
　　Ah, or was it kind of a big white lioness? The strong and beautiful kind.

　　In terms of cultivation, Zhu Yu was a great teacher, the best at teaching both theory and practice. Even though Zhu Yu was practicing a different spiritual root, she has always helped Yuege very much.

　　Zhu Yu was answering Yuege’s difficult questions about the cultivation process, yet often suppressed her power to spar with Yuege, leaving Yuege with various bruises, but these amount of injuries were reduced every time.

　　Yuege was progressing at a rapid speed, and she had an unusual adaptability with this novel world where martial arts was the most important thing.

　　Wasn’t it just a change from doing daily puzzles to learn how to practice martial arts to deal with interpersonal relationships to daily practice to practice martial arts? There was no need to bother about interpersonal relationships yet. This is how the fantasy world where martial arts is respected, as the new students’ leader and a core student, Yuege, even if she was staying alone and ignoring people, she didn’t have to worry about being criticised.

　　Simply nice and fulfilling.

　　Unfortunately, pleasant days never last long. One day, while Yuege was happily eating dinner with Zhu Yu, a crane talisman flew in.

　　”Please meet the Fire Spirit Class Jiufang Xuanling!” A somewhat familiar voice came out from the talisman.

　　Yuege: “……..”

　　‘Oh My God! Why the fugg is this Highly Unpleasant Jiufang scum come back?’

　　Zhu Yu raised her eyebrows and said, “He actually came back.”

　　Both girls were surprised, who knew why this protagonist, who had already identified Zhu Yu as a crossdressing male would appear again.

　　Zhu Yu sent the last piece of fried meat into her mouth, and waved her robe sleeves again, so all the food on the table went into her spatial ring. After doing this, Zhu Yu coldly say, “Fine.”

　　Highly Insulting Jiufang strode into the small courtyard.

　　Zhu Yu gave him a murderous look, he took a deep look at Zhu Yu: “Senior Brother… Zhu.”

　　Yuege almost laughed out loud. She cleared her throat and intimately leaned on Zhu Yu’s shoulder, acting confused, “This is… Senior Jiufang? Why have you came to see Ah Zhu?”

　　Highly Insulting Jiufang’s expression was as if he had swallowed a thorn, clearing his throat to the point of pain: “I just came here to get a peace of mind!”

　　Then, as if he had made up his mind, he stared at Zhu Yu, and his eyes glowed… that’s right a it glowed, glittering like cats eyes.

　　Yuege was creeped out and tried to remember the main character’s skill that had appeared in the novel. Was it Medusa’s gaze? Burning Moon Eyes? It can’t be the Eternal Nightmare… No, I’m not remembering the other one… wait, it’s the killing move of the main character of another novel…

　　No, it doesn’t even matter if they are or not, what matters is that the main character’s eye-related skills are the big shot – only used when encountering strong enemies. A sure-fire way killing move! Damn it, this Highly Insulting Jiufang Scum used a murder weapon on Zhu Yu… He was hating her out of love!

　　’What the hell! Was he being corrupted or has his conscience gone?’

　　Yuege immediately stepped forward, placing herself in front of Zhu Yu to block Jiufang scum’s gaze, and as she looked at her–

　　Zhu Yu was safe and sound.

　　There was no headache, no bleeding, no list of consciousness. Zhu Yu stayed there, unaffected, coldly looking at the Highly Insulting Jiufang.

　　She felt the probing of mental energy, although this probe wasn’t malicious….

　　Without permission, a spiritual probe from a lower level cultivator was offending the dignity of the stronger one.

　　Zhu Yu immediately waved her sleeve and threw out the Highly Insulting Jiufang that was four level lower out of her sea of consciousness, attaching her ice spiritual energy into his body. The ice spiritual root was inherently opposed to the fire spiritual root[2], and Zhu Yu’s spiritual energy was extremely pure and solid, so it won’t be much of a problem to send it into Jiufang Xuanling’s body, but it will be able to make him to suffer for a while, and was considered as a small punishment.

　　Highly Insulting jiufang wasn’t annoyed at being thrown out, but instead endured the pain of the ice aura coursing through his meridians and cheerfully shouted at the courtyard, “Senior Sister Zhu, I knew you aren’t a man-“

　　Zhu Yu: “…”

　　Yuege: “…?!”

　　‘Wait! What do you mean she isn’t a man….’

　　As Yuege was associating the sudden mental probe with the Highly Insulting Jiufang, a strange thought suddenly came to her: ‘Don’t tell me, this scum has an extra gold finger[3] that can distinguish people’s gender, right? It wasn’t in the original novel… There was no way I wouldn’t remember such a strange gold finger!’

　　In the next second, Yuege heard him outside, putting his hand over his mouth and shouting, “I know it! I’ll be back again!”

　　‘You better never come!’

　　’Don’t worry us, assh*le!’

　　‘Wtf he got an additional gold finger to determine whether Zhu Yu is a man or a woman? Wtf is this kind of protagonist!?’

　　Outside the courtyard, Jiufang Xuanling proudly lowered his hand, turned around, and said to himself, “Senior Sister must have a hard time, it’s okay, I’ll help Senior Sister…”

　　A passerby walked by and looked at him who was muttering to himself as if he was looking at a mentally retarded person.

　　Immediately the Gary Stu external appearance went online[4], he snorted, and in a second he became cool-looking.

　　A passerby: ‘Tsk, ah what a neurotic!’

　　In the small courtyard, Zhu Yu, who acted as if nothing had happened, took out the steaming dishes from the spatial ring and raised her chopsticks.

　　”Let’s eat.” Zhu Yu was used to it and was completely unaffected. “Ignore him[5].”

　　Yuege: “…Okay.”

　　Yuege was smiling gently and harmlessly on the surface, but in her heart, she gritted her teeth and couldn’t wait to spar with Jiufang Scum on the spot. Although it hadn’t been thought that the protagonist with a small strong attribute could be at peace with this, but the XuanHuan setting that everything would be fine once the gold finger was out, it has stirred up the competitive spirit in Yuege core.

　　‘He wants to take Zhu Yu into the harem?’

　　‘Pass through me first! Slag!’

　　’As for now…’

　　‘Let’s eat dinner.’

---

　　Day after day of cultivating, no unexpected events, no new important characters.

　　The daily cultivation studies was plain and monotonous, but in novels, especially in oriental fantasy novels where the years of cultivation are hundreds and thousands of years, it would be written as “N years has passed in a flash” or “N years has changed in the blink of an eye”….

　　Yes, it has been a year, and Yuege has became a qualified cultivator.

　　The reason why it didn’t pass even more years was because Yuege has triggered a magical event – the legendary Secret Inheritance Crystal that can only be opened by the protagonist.

　　That day, when Zhu Yu was in the courtyard for a solitary confinement, not knowing how many months it would take before she would come out, Yuege went to the Hidden Book Pavilion[6] alone to look for journals and hidden books about self-made spiritual techniques.

　　She wanted to know if self-made spiritual skills were possible, and if they were… she would have to open her mind wide open to add skills for herself.
　　
　　As a result, before she could find those hidden books, she was locked inside the boundary by an Inheritance Crystals.

　　Yuege hadn’t intentionally tried to steal the main character’s halo.
　　
　　’I don’t even remember the main character’s name, how was I expected to remember those opportunities like the Long Moon Pass Xuanxuan secret realm in Biyao Valley or something like that with a high rename rate in various XuanHuan novels! Knowing the exact location? Impossible, how long has this been serialized….’ [7]

　　This Inheritance Crystal was the one that came to Yuege by itself. Yuege couldn’t remember which book she had taken and which mechanism she had stepped on to trigger the Inheritance, but anyway, this chance had come, how could she let it get away?

　　In the boundary formed by the crystals, a wispy immortal voice echoed: “I am Wuyue Xianzun[8], the immortal, who has comprehended the Heavenly Dao in the blessed Dongming land, but something happened, so I left my inheritance here. Only those who were fortunate enough to have it will get it….”

　　Special note: Human heritage only, different races aren’t welcomed.

　　Yuege: “…Oh right, I’m not human now.” Damn, she missed her chance for this Inheritance.
　　
　　…No, that voice is so damn familiar, if she could remove the ethereal echo sound effects and changed the tone into a bit more cynical in voice, why does it sound so much like…

　　”Yuewu?” Yuege asked slowly.

　　The voice made no response and continued to speak, “…if it is another clan, it is also a fateful encounter, I will give you heavenly materials, spirit pills and divine tools…”

　　It was like a program that had been set up in advance, repeating words that the master wanted to express, like a repeater.

　　”…Visitors from other clans can view my collection of various treasures of heaven and earth, can choose up to three pieces each for every materials, pills and spiritual tools to take away, then this realm will open by itself, and you will be ejected.”

　　The voice that resembled her twin brother didn’t ring out again, although Yuege was puzzled, she could only do as he said and look at the collection of this Immortal Wu Yue. Choosing three pieces each, that is to say, she could choose nine treasures to take away… This great power from ten thousand years ago was truly generous.

　　‘Well, ah, this Xianzun… looks a lot like Yue Wu hahaha.’

　　Yuege naturally wasn’t the XuanHuan native who knows the name of the treasure, what it’s used for, and how precious it is at a glance… She simply relied on her aura to feel it, then if it’s pleasing to the eye, and Asura clan can use it – finally she picks out nine treasures that pleased her eye.

　　It was the protagonist’s golden finger to pick out the best things, but she couldn’t do that.

　　Three of them were ice spiritual root related, for Zhu Yu; six of them were metal spiritual root related, for her own use. After Yuege picked out these treasures, she was ejected, and the boundary closed automatically.

　　Jiufang’s Inheritance Crystals were nowhere to be found… Probably hibernating somewhere in the Hidden Book Pavilion, waiting for the true destined one – specifically, Jiufang Scum.

　　Yuege bumped into this by a chance, feeling a bit excited, and didn’t stay in the library for long before returning to the small courtyard.

　　She stared at the pills, with their rich and refreshing aroma, the heavenly materials and spiritual tools, with their unparalleled spirituality and power… Yuege happily looked at them one by one, until she saw the beautiful purple jade tripod[9] in front of her.

　　Yuege: “Ermm…”

　　‘Don’t ask me why I have chosen this purple alchemy tripod, if one want to ask, my answer is just instinct.’

　　Yuege hesitantly tried to remove the lid, but it didn’t budge. She thought about the generic XuanHuan plot and channeled her spiritual energy into the tripod.

　　This time there was a reaction.

　　A wisp of white mist drifted out of the tripod’s mouth, slowly condensing into a human form, ghost-like, immediately lecturing her;

　　”The first step in the art of Alchemy is having a sound mind…”

　　Yuege stared at him.

　　‘He is…’

　　’Isn’t he just Yuewu in a wig and ancient costume cosplay!?’

Footnotes:

[1] So, basically unless you’re Jing Ling from “I’m Just A Pharmacist” who has no Fire Spirit Root but can become an alchemist, usually the prequiste of being Alchemist is to have Fire Spirit Root so you could control the heat when refining the potions.
[2] Jiufang Scum’s spiritual root is fire spiritual root
[3] Gold finger: Cheat, it’s called gold finger (middle finger) cos it’s bassically FU and giving middle finger to the conventional novel rules.
[4] When something goes online, it means immediately installed.
[5] Zhu Yu in between the lines: Don’t care for him, just care for me alone…
[6] The name of the Library
[7] So basically most Xianhuan novels have similar inheritance realm, just different name. Also, this novels has been serialized for so long and is famous for its many hiatus…
[8] … Wuyue: If the Chinese characters of the name were switched you got Yuewu. Also lol so random reason.
[9] Alchemy tripod
