2 A Man From Earth

Azure Calendar, 23 July 10199, Northern Continent, Azure World

"It's been almost sixteen years since I arrived in this foreign place with 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 had read before. Who would have thought that transmigration is real? As a man who grew up in a science-based civilization, I firmly believed that there was no such an unscientific phenomenon... But yeah, here I am."

"Looking back on my journey in this world, there isn't much to talk about. I have done nothing else besides reading and studying medicine and pursuing profound formation. You might wonder why I was adamant about studying these two profound subjects. Well, it's not that I am trying to pursue the Dao of Alchemy or anything. You won't find it strange if you come from Earth, just like me. Why? Because I have read many Xianxia novels before, and the protagonists in these novels either become god-level alchemists or universe-level formation masters. 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 numerous experiences of reading novels, this type of transmigration often comes with a cheat device. It could be something like an inheritance from a Pill Emperor or a super-duper god-level physique. However, I don't have any of them! Although I didn't start off as a cripple, living in a big clan and having a fiancé attempt to annul a marriage contract, my cultivation talent is too average. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, with my current qualifications, 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 found myself already living in the body of a baby boy. I was adopted as a foster son by the current Sect Master of the Misty Cloud Sect. My life here is very comfortable. Surrounded by thousands of beautiful women while being the only man in the Sect. This place is simply a paradise on earth. However, I am aware that this will only last for a while. If I want to dictate my fate, I must rely on my strength."

"To whomever accidentally picked up this diary and expected it to contain an inheritance or secret technique. I'm sorry to disappoint you. There is nothing but my rants here. However, if you ever have the opportunity to travel through the vast expanse of the universe, be sure to make a stop at a remarkable blue planet known as Earth. — Yun Lintian, a man from Earth."

Putting his brush down and closing his diary, Yun Lintian leaned back in his chair, gazing absentmindedly at the wooden ceiling. He touched the silver necklace around his neck. The necklace's chain was made of an unknown material, silver in color, and as smooth as jade. A small square-shaped pendant at the center was smooth on the surface with no pattern. It might look ordinary, but this necklace had somehow traveled with him from Earth. This was quite bizarre, and he had a hunch that there was something hidden beneath this seemingly ordinary necklace.

The early morning sunlight streamed through the window of the log cabin, illuminating his remarkably handsome face, which had a touch of youthful innocence. His dark hair naturally cascaded over his broad shoulders, emitting a subtle gleam.

Despite being only fifteen years old this year, his growth had been relatively fast. His height had already reached one hundred and eighty-five centimeters, making him appear like an adult. Yun Lintian had a handsome face that would make people stop in their tracks when they saw him. A well-proportioned face and a defined jawline. Striking eyebrows framed a pair of eyes filled with sadness and vicissitudes, seemingly mismatched with his young age. Slightly high-bridged nose and thin lips. Even in this Azure World, where people were greatly enhanced by profound energy from Heaven and Earth — people with attractive appearances could be found everywhere like clouds. Yun Lintian could still be ranked at the top based on appearance alone.

Bang! Bang!

Just as Yun Lintian was lost in thought, an urgent knocking came from the door, snapping him back to reality. Yun Lintian immediately stood up and walked towards the door. When the door was opened, he saw a delicate figure standing in front of him. She was one of his many junior sisters, Yun Xiaohong.

"Senior Brother Yun! Please help Tongtong. She was poisoned!" A girl who appeared to be thirteen years old, named Yun Xiaohong, said anxiously. She had a petite body and a delicate face. Her hair was tied up in a big bun, giving her a cute and youthful appearance. At this moment, her common Misty Cloud Sect uniform was slightly tattered, indicating that she had been in a battle before arriving here.

"Slow down, Xiaohong. What exactly happened?" Yun Lintian asked calmly while gently patting Yun Xiaohong's hands, in an attempt to soothe her.

"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 was bitten by it. Wooo… Senior Brother Yun, please save Tongtong!" Yun Xiaohong hurriedly explained and sobbed at the end.

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

Yun Xiaohong nodded vigorously and allowed Yun Lintian to go and fetch his things. They were quickly set off afterwards.

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 was only a small amount of vegetation amidst an endless snowfield, accompanied by several simple yet artistic buildings.

Yun Lintian and Yun Xiaohong hurriedly passed through a vast square before reaching a quaint ancient-style building adorned with a sign that read "Recovery Hall" above the entrance. The interior of the hall was quite spacious and decorated with minimalist furniture. On both sides of the aisle, many ice beds were arranged neatly. At this moment, several women dressed in uniforms of the Misty Cloud Sect gathered around a bed near the entrance. Amidst the crowd, Yun Lintian immediately recognized a young girl with red skin lying on the ice bed. She was Yun Xiaotong.

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

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

In the Misty Cloud Sect, everyone knew that besides being the only male disciple, Yun Lintian had another identity — a genius doctor. His proficiency in the field of medicine 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 back to Earth or had a high level of comprehension, but rather that the medical knowledge in this world was too easy to understand. It had reached the point where Yun Lintian believed that anyone from Earth with good logical thinking should have no problem learning them. This also applied to other arts, such as the formation and alchemy profound art.

Yun Lintian arrived at the bedside, placed his medical box on a small table, and proceeded to examine the girl in front of him. Except for her skin having turned fiery red, ninety percent of her features resembled Yun Xiaohong. They were clearly twins. At that moment, Yun Xiaotong was drenched in sweat, and she would occasionally convulse in agony.

Yun Lintian grabbed a hold of Yun Xiaotong's wrist to check her pulse. He could feel a raging heatwave 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 feel as if they were trapped in a volcano, and it would also inflict damage on the target's soul.

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

"I'll go!" A young, energetic girl standing nearby raised her hand quickly. Yun Lintian nodded and handed her the paper and a hexagon-shaped white jade token.

Seeing the girl leave the hall, Yun Lintian opened his toolbox and picked up two silver needles. 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 chest and forehead. They were a Heart Gate and a Soul Gate, respectively.

Following that, Yun Xiaotong instantly calmed down and stopped twitching. The girls around 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 profound strength accompanying a junior down the mountain to prevent accidents from occurring.

"It's me." A tall woman suddenly stepped out from the crowd. She had a standard, beautiful oval face, a 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 accept punishments."

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

Only then did Yun Yujia raise her head to look at Yun Lintian and ask, "Is that true? I've read it before. The Fire Spirit Poison would cause damage to the practitioner's soul, which would also affect their foundation. 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 handle it without affecting her foundation. You can be at ease." He paused momentarily before continuing, "By the way, did Senior Sister bring back the remains of the snake?"

"Yes. Over there." Yun Yujia nodded and pointed to 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 towards the remains of the snake and touched them. Instantly, his expression changed, and his brows couldn't help but furrow at the discovery.
