Chapter 2: A Man From Earth

Azure Calendar 23 July 10199, Northern Continent, Azure World

"It's been almost sixteen years since I came to this foreign place with such a typical name, Azure World. Until now, I still can't bring myself to believe that I was caught in such a cliché situation, similar to the novel I'd read before. Who would have thought that transmigration is real? As a man who grew up in a science-based civilization, I firmly believed there is no such an unscientific phenomenon as this… But yeah, here I am."

"Looking back to my journey on this world, there is nothing much to talk about it. Besides reading and studying medicine and profound formation, I have done nothing else. You might wonder why did I so adamant about studying these two profound knowledge, right? Well, it's not that I am trying to pursue Dao of Alchemy or anything. Actually, if you came from Earth just like me, you won't find it strange at all. Why? Because I have read many Xianxia novels before, and the protagonists in these novels are either becoming a god-level-alchemist or a universe-level-formation master. Giving a face slapping to some classic young masters left and right. I want to be like that too."

"Talking about this, I am so angry. To my hundreds of novel reading experiences, this kind of transmigration often comes with a cheat device. It could be something like a Pill Emperor's inheritance or a super-duper god-level physique. However, I don't have any of them! Although I didn't start as a cripple, living in a big clan and having a fiancé try to annul a marriage contract, my cultivation talent is too ordinary. In the world where the strong eating the weak, with my current qualification — undoubtedly, I will die in no time."

"Fortunately, the God of Transmigration gave me a good starting point. Sixteen years ago, when I opened my eyes, I already found myself living in a baby boy and was adopted as a foster son by the current Misty Cloud Sect's Sect Master. My life here is so comfortable. Surrounding by thousands of beauties while being the only man in the Sect. This is simply a paradise on earth. However, I am aware this will not last long. If I wanted to dictate my fate, I have to rely on my own strength."

"To whoever accidentally picking this diary up and expecting it to be an inheritance or some sort of secret technique. I'm sorry to disappoint you. There is nothing but my rants here. However, if you had a chance to travel through the universe, don't forget to visit a blue planet called Earth. — Yun Lintian, A man from Earth."

Putting a brush down and closed his diary, Yun Lintian leaned back on a chair, looking at a wooden ceiling in a daze. He absentmindedly touched a silver necklace on his neck. The necklace's chain was made with unknown material, silver in color and smooth as jade. There was a tiny square shape locket at the center, smooth in surface with no pattern. It might look ordinary, but this necklace had somehow traversed together with him from Earth. This was quite bizarre, and he had a hunch there was something hidden beneath this seemingly ordinary-looking necklace.

The early morning sunlight passed through the log cabin's window, landing on his exceptionally handsome face with a hint of childishness. His dark hair naturally hung over his broad shoulders, giving a faint shimmer.

Despite being only fifteen years old this year, his growth was quite fast as his height had already reached one hundred and eighty-five centimeters, making him look like an adult. Yun Lintian had a handsome face that would make people stop their tracks upon seeing him. A well-ratio face and a prominent jawline. Striking eyebrows with a pair of eyes full of sadness and vicissitudes, seemingly mismatched with his age. Slightly high-bridge nose and thin lips. Even in this Azure World, where people were greatly enhanced by profound energy from Heaven and Earth — people with a good-looking appearance could be found everywhere, like clouds. Yun Lintian could still be ranked at the top in terms of appearance alone.

Bang! Bang!

Just as Yun Lintian was lost in thought, an urgent knocking coming from the door's direction, bringing him back to his sense. Yun Lintian immediately stood up and walked toward the door. When the door was opened, he saw a delicate figure stood before him. She was one of his many junior sisters, Yun Xiaohong.

"Senior Brother Yun! Please help Tongtong. She was poisoned!" A thirteen-year-old-looking girl, Yun Xiaohong, said anxiously. She had a petite body with a delicate face. Her hair was tied into a big bun, looking cute and brimming with youthfulness. At this moment, her common Misty Cloud Sect's uniform was slightly tattered, showing she had engaged in a battle before she came here.

"Slow down, Xiaohong. What exactly happened?" Yun Lintian asked calmly while patting Yun Xiaohong's hands, trying to calm her down.

"I don't know what happened. Tongtong and I went to the village this morning. Just as we reached the foot of the mountain, suddenly, we were attacked by the Fire Spirit Snake, and Tongtong got bit by it. Wooo… Senior Brother Yun, please save Tongtong!" Yun Xiaohong hurriedly explained and sobbed at the end.

Hearing this, Yun Lintian's eyebrows raised in surprise. He comforted. "Relax, it's not a big deal. Let me fetch my toolbox first."

Yun Xiaohong nodded her head vigorously and let Yun Lintian went to get the toolbox. They were quickly set off afterward.

...

It was already mid-summer, but the weather on the Misty Cloud Peak hadn't changed in the slightest as it was snowing all year round. There wasn't much vegetation beside an endless snowfield and several simple yet artistic buildings around the place.

Yun Lintian and Yun Xiaohong hurriedly passed through a huge square before arriving at a small ancient-style building with the "Recovery Hall" nameplate above the entrance. The hall's interior was quite spacious and decorated with simple furniture. On both sides of the aisle, there were many ice beds arranged neatly. At this moment, several women dressed in the Misty Cloud Sect's uniforms gathered around one bed nearby the entrance. Through the crowd, Yun Lintian immediately recognized a red-skinned young girl lying on the ice bed. She was Yun Xiaotong.

"Sisters, please make way." Yun Lintian said.

"Great! Senior Brother Yun has arrived!" A group of women turned around to see Yun Lintian, and they exclaimed loudly with joy.

In the Misty Cloud Sect, everyone knew besides being the only male disciple, Yun Lintian had another identity — a genius doctor. His attainment in the medical profound art had already reached an extraordinarily high level. He could even be regarded as a once in a millennium genius.

It wasn't because he was a doctor when he was on Earth or having a high comprehension, but rather the medical knowledge here in this world was too easy to understand. It was to the point where Yun Lintian thought anyone from Earth with good logical thinking should have no problem learning them, and this applied to other arts such as the formation profound art and the alchemy profound art as well.

Yun Lintian arrived at the bedside, putting his toolbox on a small table, and then examined the girl in front of him. Except for her skin had turned fiery red, other features on her body were ninety percent resembled Yun Xiaohong. That's right, both of them were twins. At this moment, Yun Xiaotong was covered in sweat, and she would occasionally twitching in agony.

Yun Lintian grabbed a hold of Yun Xiaotong's wrist to check her pulse. He could feel a raging heatwave kept rampaging within her body from time to time. Undoubtedly, this was the characteristic of the Fire Spirit Poison. This poison was capable of making people felt as if they were trapped in a volcano, and it would also inflict damage to the target's soul.

After confirming it was indeed the Fire Spirit Poison, Yun Lintian quickly picked up a brush and wrote something on a paper before turning around to the crowd. He said, "I need someone to fetch medicinal ingredients according to this list from the treasury for me. Any volunteer?"

"I'll go!" A young, energetic girl who stood nearby raised her hand quickly. Yun Lintian nodded and gave her the paper along with a hexagon shape white jade token.

Seeing the girl went out of the hall, Yun Lintian opened his toolbox and picked up two silver needles from it. A gleam of deep blue light appeared on the silver needles, releasing a cold mist before Yun Lintian pinned both of them on Yun Xiaotong's heart area and between her eyebrows area. They were a Heart Gate and a Soul Gate, respectively.

Following that, Yun Xiaotong instantly calmed down, stopped twitching. The surrounding girls let out a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"I don't know which Senior Sister accompanied them down the mountain?" Yun Lintian turned to ask the crowd. Usually, there would be someone with high profound strength accompany a junior down the mountain to prevent an accident from occurring.

"It's me." A tall woman suddenly stepped out of the crowd. She had a standard beautiful oval face, straight nose, and thin lips. Obvious guilt was written all over her face, as she blamed herself for the incident. She lowered her head slightly and said, "It was my fault. I failed to notice the Fire Spirit Snake. I am willing to be punished."

Yun Lintian shook his head and gave her a smile: "You don't have to blame yourself, Senior Sister Yujia. We all know the Fire Spirit Snake is capable to hide its presence from our Spiritual Sense. Who would have thought that it would appear here in the snow region? This is an abnormal occasion." Seeing Yun Yujia still lowered her head, he said further, "Besides, this Fire Spirit Poison isn't without remedy. I can guarantee it won't affect Xiaotong's foundation in the slightest."

Only then Yun Yujia raised her head to look at Yun Lintian and asked, "Is that true? I've read it before. The Fire Spirit Poison would cause damage to the practitioner's soul and that would affect their foundation as well. Especially a practitioner who hasn't reached the Spirit Profound Realm yet."

Yun Lintian chuckled, "It's true as Senior Sister said, but I can deal with it without affecting her foundation. You can be at ease." He paused for a moment before he continued, "By the way, did Senior Sister bring the snake's remains back?"

"Yes. Over there." Yun Yujia nodded and pointed at the center of the hall.

Yun Lintian followed the direction she pointed to and saw a four-meter-long red snake lying on the ground. It had shiny scales with a fatal sword wound on its gigantic head. Yun Lintian walked toward the snake's remains and touched it. Instantaneously, his expression changed, and his brows couldn't help but crease together by the discovery.
