Xiuxian Work Log

Xian calendar year, July 7th.

On my first day in Xiuxian World, I encountered a strange corpse and was rescued (crossed out) and tied up by the demon villagers.

The Dust-Breaking System said it could allow me to reach the initial stage of foundation building in ten days, but is it sure that it has got its purpose right?

Isn’t our goal now to reach the destination before the mission begins?

The Dust Breaking system always feels familiar to me. It seems very diligent (smile), just like me, who used to be so reckless. But I'm only reckless for the money, right? Is the system the same?

Curious?

"Ding Dong! Binding to a pre-Blue Earth era human who meets the criteria. Hello! This is the Dust-Breaking System. Please complete the task after reading the Interstellar Binding Treaty. The Dust-Breaking System will assist you in completing the task."

Is this world crazy, or is Lin Qingyue crazy? And this Dust-Breaking System, that name sounds very Long Aotian-esque. Is it asking her to do a counterattack and slap her in the face? Didn't she expect the chance to become the female version of Long Aotian to finally come to her? She was a little excited. What was going on?

Lin Qingyue's excitement turned into deep thought after reading the treaty.

Well, at least the treatment is much better than that of her crappy company. She doesn’t want to die now anyway, so why not give it a try!

"I agree to be bound."

"Ding Dong! Binding successful, now starting the journey."

……

His body ached, as if his bones had been broken and then put back together. The feeling of traveling through time was dizzy, like being thrown into a washing machine, tumbling and spinning non-stop. Lin Qingyue struggled to open his eyes and found that he was still wearing the short-sleeved shirt and shorts he had worn before his death. The exposed parts of his body were burning with pain, probably from scrapes.

She strained to open her eyes, only to be met with an endless expanse of desert. Sand, accompanied by a strong wind, lashed her face. She mentally called the system, but no one responded. She stood up, only to be knocked back by the wind. In her blurry state, she even felt herself bump into something solid.

Ah, so annoying... where did the dead system go?

Looking back, she saw the wind and sand swirling around her. Blinking uncomfortably, she saw the rusted sword stuck in the sand and an unidentified body kneeling in the desert. The body's legs were kneeling on the sand, its upper body sprawled on the ground. Its arms supported its expressionless head, its black hair swaying in the wind. The body was encased in a thick layer of sand, resembling a wild horse from a distance.

Is this a mission? Is her mission to solve a case? How magical.

Then this sword is an item related to the mission.

Lin Qingyue struggled to pull out the rusty sword. The wind and sand were getting stronger and stronger, and she could hardly stand. Lin Qingyue had no choice but to crawl towards the corpse. When she cleaned the body and saw the face of the corpse...

"Then you fell unconscious, and I used my points to have the nearby villagers find you."

Dust-Breaking System said this in a bad tone.

In the dilapidated woodshed, the piled firewood took up a large area. Lin Qingyue was tied to a chair with his back against the firewood wall, feeling hopeless.

"It was you who teleported me to this godforsaken place. We agreed to teleport me to a village near our target, Wen Lingyun. Where did you teleport me to?"

"This is the demon clan's territory. I don't know why I've never been to the wrong place before. Maybe there's something wrong with the teleportation function."

There was no apology in his tone, which made Lin Qingyue's teeth itch.

"Demons?" Lin Qingyue thought of the demons that Pochen had mentioned before coming here.

Cursed humans are irritable and violent, and their most important characteristic is that they eat people!

It's the real kind of cannibalism, with flesh and blood included!

So she's going to be eaten? Wow, first time experiencing this!

There were sounds of conversation outside the room, and Lin Qingyue held his breath.

said one person.

"Is she awake?"

"Even if you wake up, you can't escape. Aren't you still worried about me tying you up?" said another person.

"She's quite pretty..."

"I'm warning you, kid, don't mess around! Chicks are more valuable. When I have money, I'll treat you to a drink at Fengyue Tower."

"Big brother, you're really good to me! Let's go to Fengyue Tower and not leave until we're drunk!"

When the two people's footsteps gradually faded away, Lin Qingyue shook the chair vigorously, signaling the Dust-Breaking System to look at her situation.

"Is this the villager you're looking for?"

Dust Breaking System replied indifferently.

"This is the Demon Realm, host! Who would pick up a person and keep them for free? There must be other motives!"

Lin Qingyue was choked. It was so straightforward, but it made a lot of sense.

"How long until the mission starts?"

"Ten days. I have already planned how you will get to Qingjing Town, but on the way you have to improve your cultivation to the initial stage of foundation building." The Dust-Breaking System said confidently.

Ten days to build a foundation? Was she on drugs? Or was she born with a natural physique for cultivating immortality? It seemed unreliable.

Lin Qingyue leaned his head back and looked at the roof.

"Then tell me how to build a foundation in ten days."

Data streams kept flying in my mind, as if the intertwined starry sky was twinkling.

"I will use the points to teleport you to the secret realm, and then you can directly reach the initial stage of foundation building through inheritance."

"Of course." Pochen changed his tone, "If you can't obtain the inheritance, I can also teleport you directly to Qingjing Town."

"Why don't you just teleport me directly to Qingjing Town?!"

Lin Qingyue didn't understand why the system had to go to such lengths to advance her to the early stages of foundation building? Couldn't they have just sent her to Qingjing Town?

A request for payment popped up in my mind.

[To apply for retransmission, please pay points. ]

"Host, please pay. Since you don't have many points right now, you can work for us for 100 years to pay it back~"

"It's so dark, you guys..."

She just came to work for Pochen, not to sign a contract to sell herself!

The bustling market was filled with hawkers selling all sorts of things: weapons, elixirs, magic treasures, and... human flesh. Goudan squatted in front of his family's meat stall, watching as his mother pulled a human woman from a cage. Despite her struggles, she twisted her neck, poured her blood into a pool, washed it, and handed it to his father. Then, his father took a machete and chopped the woman into pieces, handing them off to the nobleman's servants.

The servant gave Dad some spirit stones and put the meat into the storage ring but did not leave. Instead, he asked Dad if he had any more goods.

"Don't you have people here ready to be sent to Fengyue Tower? Just take a look to see if there are any outstanding-looking people."

"Yes, there are a few. I'll let Goudan take you to see them. But first, let me make it clear, if there's anything you like, the price won't be the same as before."

"If it's really worth the price, the Lord might even reward you!"

"It's easy to say, but it has to catch the eyes of the noble man."

Goudan saw his father take some more spirit stones from the servant and then called him over.

"Goudan, accompany this guy to check out the new arrivals."

"I understand, Dad!" Goudan replied, and said to the servant in a flattering manner, "Come with me."

The servant's smile faded from his face towards Goudan's father, and he walked silently with Goudan into the courtyard behind the butcher shop. Goudan knew the servant only smiled at his father, and a child like him had no cultivation. If he weren't his father's child, he would probably be slaughtered like the children in the cages. There weren't only humans in there, but also many demon children sold by their own parents.

When they opened the door to the yard, they saw it was filled with cages of all sizes. Goudan led the servants inside, but before he could move forward, he was tripped by a leg.

The world turned upside down and Goudan fell flat on his face.

"Hahahahaha!"

From the cage next to her came the undisguised laughter of a woman. She was wearing strange clothes, and the exposed parts of her arms and calves were covered with scars. But what made people unable to look away was her charming and beautiful face, pure and ethereal.

Goudan felt deeply humiliated and stood up, raising his hand to slap the woman...
