The Daily Life of a Lazy Author Transmigrating into a Book and Doing Nothing

These past few days, Yu Xianxian has been feeling very happy. After all, she's been receiving gifts and being taken care of by a beautiful older sister. Her life is truly wonderful.

Until one day, Yu Xianxian heard from Ling Yao that "the Immortal Sect's disciple recruitment ceremony had already ended."

"It's over? It's already over!"

Yu Xianxian, who had just been lying peacefully in bed, suddenly sat up with a jolt, her big eyes filled with shock at being abandoned by the world.

"When did this happen?"

"The apprenticeship ceremony was held the day after the third trial ended. Only about twenty people passed the trial this year, and it was over in half a day."

"Then I..."

"Let's wait for the next Immortal Sect Conference."

Yu Xianxian, who missed a golden opportunity: Although, this shut-in might not even pass the first trial next time.

"May I ask, Peak Master Ling, when is the next Immortal Sect Conference?"

"The Immortal Clan Conference is held every ten years. Anyone under the age of forty can participate. Don't worry, you still have a chance."

Ten years! Well, now it can go straight from a cultivation novel to a farming novel.

Yu Xianxian, who has absolutely no experience in farming: Look, do I still have a chance?

Looking at Yu Xianxian, who was already squatting in the corner drawing circles, Ling Yao put down her teacup, her expression indifferent.

"What's wrong? You seem very unhappy."

"Ten years? Who can afford to wait that long?"

Hearing Yu Xianxian's mutterings, Ling Yao remained silent, only watching that lonely figure for a while before getting up and walking outside.

When Yu Xianxian turned around, she only caught a glimpse of the cold, indifferent corner of her clothes before silently biting her handkerchief. Sure enough, even beautiful women have cold hearts.

Harassed by the cold wind, Yu Xianxian had no choice but to crawl back into bed and begin to contemplate her future life as a beggar.

In reality, she hasn't done anything besides writing books, so I wonder what she could do in ancient times.

Becoming a picture book writer doesn't seem like a bad idea, but I don't know if anyone will hire her! Besides, what will she do before she finds a job? She has no house, no relatives, and no land. Even if she wanted to learn farming, there's nowhere to farm.

Moreover, I've heard that there are constant wars between countries in the mortal realm. What if we were to encounter a war...

Thinking about it this way, Yu Xianxian felt she could give up struggling; this wretched life was simply unbearable.

Losing all purpose in life, Yu Xianxian hid under the covers and cried her heart out. "Waaah! Transmigrating into a book these days is really making life impossible for authors!" she sobbed. "Being poor and destitute is bad enough, but why is it set in a war-torn era? I remember when I wrote it, the mortal realm was unified and peaceful. Where did all these different countries come from? Where did this war come from? How far off is this plot?!"

……

On the other side, inside the main hall of Spirit Sword Peak, Fu Yan and Lin Yu sat facing each other, each holding a teacup, looking quite harmonious.

"Junior brother, have you come today to talk about that little girl again?"

"Senior brother, this is the first time my magic array has malfunctioned like this, and only one person has a problem. Don't you think I should have doubts?"

"This is indeed strange, but I heard from my third junior sister that the little girl was barely clinging to life. Do you really think anyone would risk their life to destroy a magic array? Besides, it's just an illusion; what's there to destroy?"

"Heh, maybe there's something hidden in the half we haven't seen yet that needs to be kept secret?"

"Then what do you think is in her illusion that we shouldn't see?"

Ling Yao's voice came from outside the main hall. When the two looked over, they saw her getting off the red jade lotus.

Obviously, it's urgent.

Ling Yao approached the two of them, first nodding to Lin Yu in greeting, and then looking at Fu Yan to repeat what she had just said.

"I wonder what Second Brother thinks might be in that child's illusion?"

"I don't know."

"Since you don't know, then Second Senior Brother, you shouldn't speculate here."

"Ha, just making wild guesses?"

Fu Yan put down her teacup, stood up, and looked at Ling Yao.

"That little girl was found by you, Third Junior Sister, at Spirit Medicine Peak, right?"

"Yes."

"Not only that, that girl also said she was from Mirage Mountain."

"Yes."

Fu Yan walked step by step behind Ling Yao, speaking calmly and slowly.

“But I asked the disciples of Mirage Mountain, and they said there was no such woman at all. I then asked Lin Xiao, and he said that the girl claimed that she wasn’t discovered by the disciples and that she forgot to register, which is why she’s not on the list. Hah.”

Suddenly, Fu Yan turned around and looked at Ling Yao with piercing eyes.

"Does Junior Sister find this believable? Besides, she just happened to fall off the spirit boat and land in your Spirit Medicine Peak."

"The world is vast and full of wonders. Second Brother, anything is possible."

"Perhaps, but rather than believing that reason, I'd rather believe that this person didn't enter the immortal sect through any legitimate means."

“I examined her body; there was no demonic energy there.”

"I've said it before, sometimes, humans are more terrifying than demons. Junior sister, you have too much faith in humanity."

"Alright, it's been so long? I should be going now. Farewell, senior brother."

A flash of blue light appeared, and Fu Yan disappeared from the spot.

Lin Yu, who had been silent all along, put down his teacup and looked up at Ling Yao.

"Your second senior brother is still as impatient as ever."

Ling Yao sat down in the seat Fu Yan had just occupied, but her gaze remained fixed on the spot where he had just left.

"In the heart of the second senior brother, he probably hated people more than demons."

"He had witnessed the worst of human nature, yet he was saved by a half-demon when he was in trouble. No matter who it was, their conscience would be clouded."

"Humans think demons are good, but demons think humans are good. Ah, what a strange world this is."

Ling Yao lowered her eyes, and only after calming down did she look up at Lin Yu again.

"Junior sister's visit this time is for Yu Xianxian's sake."

"Oh, that girl who had the accident. You seem to really like her. What? You want to take her as your apprentice?"

"It's not really about taking her as a disciple, but I want to test her spiritual roots. If she has good talent, she might be able to join my immortal sect."

Lin Yu stroked his long white beard, seemingly without thinking, but his mind was already racing. After a while, he said, "It's alright. After all, this is also a problem of the Immortal Sect, and judging from her performance in the illusion, she passed the test. However, what my second junior brother said is not without reason. Her origins are unknown, so we still need to be careful."

"Junior sister understands, thank you senior brother."

"Hehe, why are you thanking me? By the way, how's your new apprentice?"

"Very good. Not only is he talented, but he is also very hardworking and quick to understand."

When her apprentice was mentioned, although her expression remained calm, the smile in Ling Yao's eyes deepened, though it quickly faded.

"It reminds me of Meng'er."

"Yes, Mengxi is not only skilled in swordsmanship, magic arrays, alchemy, and weapon crafting, but she is also at a level that surpasses ours. Even the spirit beast she picked up made our fourth junior brother envious. In this world, I think no one can compare to her except our master. Heh, rather than saying we are her master, we should talk about how much she has taught us."

When this was mentioned, both of them had a look of reminiscence in their eyes.

"Alright, I've bothered you for quite a while now, senior brother, farewell."

"Ah."

As Ling Yao walked to the palace gate, about to summon the Crimson Jade Lotus, Lin Yu suddenly spoke up: "Junior Sister, you have witnessed the ultimate goodness of humanity, which is why you love people. But what Second Junior Brother said is also true; people are not all like the person you remember."

Ling Yao paused, tilting her head slightly. The red lotus on her forehead appeared even more alluring in the light.

“Senior brother, it’s not that I don’t understand the evil in human nature, I just don’t believe that there’s only one such person in this world.”
