Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

Zhu Qingying was placed in a quiet room to recuperate. After Lu Lingxi Yao took her pulse, she took out a jade-green pill from her storage ring.

"This is the 'Return to Origin Pill' I refined; it can help you recover from meridian damage," Lu Lingxi said softly.

After taking the pill, Zhu Qingying's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue. She looked at Lu Lingxi with surprise in her eyes: "You are actually an alchemist? And you can refine such a pure pill, which is truly rare."

Nalan Rongzhi stood aside, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes, "Our Yaoyao has extremely high attainments in the art of alchemy."

Zhu Qingying nodded, then suddenly said, "In that case, I would like to ask you for a favor."

She took out a yellowed bamboo scroll from her bosom, which was the Celestial Music Score treasured by Green Bamboo Manor. "This Celestial Music Score records a special melody that is said to resonate with heaven and earth and draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, to perform this melody, it is necessary to use a spiritual pill called the 'Celestial Music Pill'."

Lu Lingxi took the bamboo slip and examined it carefully: "Is the formula for the Heavenly Sound Pill also inside?"

“Exactly,” Zhu Qingying nodded. “Our Cuizhu Manor has been passed down for generations, but we have never been able to refine this kind of pill. If we can succeed in refining it, we may be able to unlock more secrets of the Heavenly Sound Spectrum.”

Qinglong sneered from the side: "Ye Wuhen probably came for this reason as well."

“Indeed,” Zhu Qingying sighed. “He already has two volumes of the Heavenly Sound Manual. If he obtains the third volume and refines the Heavenly Sound Pill, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Lu Lingxi carefully examined the bamboo slips, her brows gradually furrowing. "The ingredients for this Heavenly Sound Pill are extremely rare, especially the main ingredient, 'Heavenly Sound Grass,' which is unheard of."

“The Heavenly Sound Grass grows in places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is most abundant,” Zhu Qingying explained. “Legend has it that it only appears on the night of the full moon when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges.”

A strange light flashed in Nalan Rongzhi's eyes. "When is the next full moon night?"

“Three days later,” Zhu Qingying replied, “as far as I know, the Spirit Peak, not far from here, is a place where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges.”

Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi exchanged a glance, and immediately understood each other: "Let's go to Lingfeng to find the Heavenly Sound Grass."

“I will go with you,” Zhu Qingying said. “The Heavenly Sound Grass and the Heavenly Sound Spectrum are connected, and with me there, we can find it more easily.”

Qinglong looked worried. "Your injuries have not yet fully healed."

Zhu Qingying shook her head, "This matter is of great importance and cannot afford the slightest mistake. Besides, with Miss Lu Ling here, my injuries are nothing to worry about."

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside, and a disciple rushed in, shouting, "It's terrible! The City Lord's Mansion has sent people here, saying they want to search the manor!"

Zhu Qingying's expression changed. "It seems that Ye Wuhen has already alerted the City Lord's Mansion." She turned to Lu Lingxi, Yao, and the other two. "You should hide for a while. Once they leave, we will set off for Lingfeng immediately."

The people from the City Lord's Mansion came in a fierce manner, so Zhu Qingying had to deal with them personally. She settled Lu Lingxi, Yao, and the other two in a secret room, while she led several disciples to greet them at the mountain gate.

The moonlight, like water, enveloped the Green Bamboo Manor. No one noticed that in the distant forest, a dark figure was silently watching everything, its eyes flashing with an eerie light.

“Master Zhu,” the leading official sneered, “the city lord received news that someone discovered unusual spiritual energy fluctuations in your manor, and we have been ordered to come and investigate.”

Zhu Qingying remained calm: "I wonder where the unusual fluctuations you mentioned came from? My Cuizhu Manor has always been law-abiding and is nothing more than a family of physicians."

"Hmph," the official sneered, "Then please cooperate with the search, Master Zhu."

Inside the secret room, Lu Lingxi Yao focused her mind and observed the movements outside. Nalan Rongzhi held her hand and whispered, "Don't worry, with Zhu Qingying outside, they won't be able to find this place."

Qinglong suddenly frowned: "No, I sense a familiar aura."

Before they could finish speaking, there was a soft knock on the secret door of the room. The three of them looked at the door warily and saw the old man in gray appear silently in front of the door.

“It’s you!” Nalan Rongzhi recognized the old man who had led them to safety earlier.

The old man's expression was solemn. "The City Lord's Mansion has come with ill intentions this time. They are after the Heavenly Music Scroll. You must leave immediately. I will guide you."

“But Zhu Qingying…” Lu Lingxi Yao was a little worried.

"Don't worry," the old man smiled slightly, "Qingying knows what she's doing. The most important thing now is to protect the Heavenly Sound Spectrum and find the Heavenly Sound Grass as soon as possible."

Led by the old man, the three of them traversed a complex network of underground passages and finally left through a hidden exit behind the villa.

Under the moonlight, the old man pointed to the distant mountain peaks, "That is Lingfeng. You must hurry on your way and reach the summit before the full moon in three days."

"Thank you very much, senior." Lu Lingxi said solemnly.

The old man waved his hand: "Go, remember, the Heavenly Sound Grass is of great importance. You must be careful of Ye Wuhen. That person is more cunning and dangerous than you think."

Just as the three were about to leave, they suddenly heard the old man say again, "By the way, there is an ancient teleportation array halfway up Lingfeng Mountain that might be useful to you."

Watching the three leave, the old man gazed towards the villa, a profound light flashing in his eyes, "Hopefully they made it in time..."

Meanwhile, Zhu Qingying was dealing with the search of the City Lord's Mansion. She was secretly anxious, wondering if Lu Lingxi and Yao had left safely. Just then, a disciple rushed over and whispered a few words in her ear. A hint of joy flashed in Zhu Qingying's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "My lord, please search as you see fit."

Deep in the mountains, Ye Wuhen watched the three figures disappear into the distance, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips. "Lingfeng? Heh..." His figure gradually vanished into the night, leaving only a whisper: "Tianyin Grass, it's finally about to appear."

Lu Lingxi, Yao, and the other two swiftly traversed the dense forest. Nalan Rongzhi's demonic energy subtly enveloped them, completely concealing their presence. Qinglong led the way, his divine beast bloodline making him extremely sensitive to danger.

“There’s an ambush ahead,” Qinglong suddenly stopped and whispered, “at least ten people, probably from the city lord’s mansion.”

Nalan Rongzhi's eyes turned cold: "It seems they were prepared all along."

Lu Lingxi took out a jade bottle and poured out three dark blue pills. "Take these, and you can temporarily change your aura."

After the three of them took the pills, they indeed felt a subtle change in their internal energy. Qinglong exclaimed, "As expected of the Medicine King's disciple, he can even refine such pills."

Bypassing the ambushing crowd, the three continued their journey towards the Spirit Peak. However, as they got closer to the peak, the fluctuations in spiritual energy in the air became increasingly intense.

“This spiritual energy fluctuation is a bit strange,” Lu Lingxi Yao said with a frown. “It seems to have been disturbed by someone.”

Nalan Rongzhi nodded, "Ye Wuhen should have already come."

Just then, a strange flute melody came from afar, and Qinglong's expression changed. "Be careful!"

Three dark figures suddenly darted out from the shadows, wielding long swords and aiming straight for the three men's vitals. Nalan Rongzhi instantly summoned his demonic sword, and black sword energy surged out like a tide, forcing the three men in black to retreat.

"As expected, it's you," the leader of the men in black sneered. "Young Master Ye said you would definitely come."

Lu Lingxi drew her longsword, and the Azure Dragon also transformed into its true form, a giant azure dragon coiling in the air, its dragon might awe-inspiring in all directions.

"A few lackeys dare to block the road?" Qinglong sneered.

The battle was about to break out. The man in black was not weak, but he was quickly at a disadvantage under the combined attack of the three. Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar.

"Not good!" Lu Lingxi's expression turned serious. "People from the City Lord's Mansion have arrived!"

Nalan Rongzhi cleaved the last man in black with a single sword strike, then grabbed Lu Lingxi's hand. "Let's go! The teleportation array the old man mentioned is just ahead!"

The three of them moved quickly and soon discovered an ancient formation hidden in the mountain wall. Lu Lingxi took out the Heavenly Sound Spectrum and, sure enough, sensed that the formation was vibrating slightly.

“This teleportation array is related to the Heavenly Sound Spectrum,” she quickly checked the array, “but it requires the injection of spiritual power to activate.”

The sounds of the pursuers behind them grew closer. The Azure Dragon transformed into human form, joining Nalan Rongzhi to protect Lu Lingxi Yao. She channeled her spiritual power into the array, and the Heavenly Sound Spectrum suddenly emitted a clear and melodious sound, causing the teleportation array to light up with a dazzling light.

"Get in quickly!"

The three had just stepped into the teleportation array when their pursuers arrived. A flash of light, and the three disappeared from their spot, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded pursuers.

At the summit of Lingfeng, Ye Wuhen quietly watched all this, toying with a faintly glowing herb—the Heavenly Sound Grass—in his hand. "Come on," he said softly, "with you all, this game is much more interesting."
