Lyra leaned back with a smirk curling her lips. “Well, Uncle Raymond, I’m not sure you resemble anything in particular… but I trust Alex’s opinion on the matter.”

Raymond snorted so hard it nearly rattled the phone line. “Huh! I have no idea how that tiny fraud managed to brainwash you. What’s his secret?”

She shrugged with practiced indifference.

“Beats me. Maybe it was just meant to be. Anyway, the clock is ticking. You’ve got half a day left before our bet closes. If you’re still as healthy

    All Alex wanted was to survive in this place and eventually find a way out.That was it.He didn’t want fame. He didn’t want status. He certainly didn’t want to throw himself into some reckless competition that could get him killed.So why did everything here seem to drag him toward danger?He truly couldn’t understand the way these people thought.Still… in his current condition, he had no way of facing Li Chingxue.If this had happened in the past—when his power was still intact—the situation would have been completely different. Back then, he could have slapped that beautiful, arrogant face of hers without hesitation.And she would have had no choice but to accept it.But now…“Why am I so unlucky…?”Alex let out a long sigh.Complaining wouldn’t change anything. Right now, the only real way to protect himself was to grow stronger. He needed better skills. Better martial arts.And that meant reaching the second floor of the library.The first floor only held basic manuals—technique

    Pure Snow Sword Maiden, Li Chingxue, stood among the most important disciples in the entire sect. She was one of the five core disciples personally chosen by the Sect Master—a position far above the ordinary ranks.Core disciples answered directly to the Sect Master himself. They handled matters that affected the entire sect—internal disputes, external threats, and the delicate balance of power within Wudang.And from those five, one would eventually inherit the position of Sect Master.Their status inside Wudang Sect was not merely high.It was decisive.Li Chingxue stood calmly before the Sect Master and bowed with quiet respect.“Master, is there anything you need from me?”The Sect Master looked at her, then suddenly laughed.“The person you brought to the sect…” he said slowly, amusement flickering in his eyes. “That young man is extremely interesting. Ever since he appeared, life in this old sect has become far less boring.”Li Chingxue’s brows tightened slightly.“Master, if he

    Alex stepped into the field and quietly searched for several herbs he needed.For him, this was more than fair.He wasn’t stealing recklessly. In fact, he had taken less than one percent of the herbs in the field. In return, he had left behind a method that could increase the field’s production by two hundred percent or more.If the owner followed the instructions, the harvest would explode.They would become incredibly wealthy from the field alone.That was a trade any sensible cultivator would gladly accept.That night, Alex selected five different types of herbs.He carefully uprooted them and carried them back to his courtyard.Once home, he replanted the herbs in the soil of his yard.Now he already had twenty-year-old herbs growing in his courtyard. Some could be harvested seasonally, while others could be gathered each year.There was no longer any need for him to wait.After that, Alex rested for several days.He had already calculated the safest method.If he wanted to gather

    Alex had already made up his mind.He would stay far away from the medical pavilion.The moment he showed his face there, people would start noticing him. And once people noticed him, questions would follow. Questions meant attention. And attention always brought trouble.Alex had no intention of inviting trouble.So he kept to himself.He stayed inside his small courtyard hut and stopped going anywhere near the medical pavilion.Life as an Outer Sect disciple on Thousand Herbs Peak turned out to be surprisingly comfortable.Back when he worked in the Kitchen, he had access to all kinds of delicious food. That was the one thing he genuinely missed. But aside from that small regret, everything else suited him perfectly.The environment on Thousand Herbs Peak was excellent for cultivation. The spiritual energy in the air was rich and pure, far better than most places in the sect. Alex could simply sit in meditation and steadily absorb the energy around him.For someone focused on cultiv

    At dawn the next morning, Alex woke early.The air was still cool, and a faint mist hung over the mountain.He stepped out of his small log cabin, crossed the quiet courtyard, and began walking toward the Medicines Pavilion.The sun slowly rose over the distant horizon. Golden light spilled across the sky, scattering through layers of drifting mist. The colors shimmered across the mountain paths like schools of golden carp swimming through clouds.It was a breathtaking sight.But Alex barely slowed down.He walked quickly along the stone path, surrounded by numerous Outer Sect disciples who were heading in the same direction. Their robes fluttered in the morning breeze.None of them recognized him.And Alex didn’t recognize any of them either.The last time he had come here, Xuan Chen had only given him a brief explanation of how things worked inside the Medicines Pavilion.Today, he intended to see it for himself.When Alex arrived, he walked straight to one of the staff members stan

    “You bastard, Jun Jiu—the new guy!” the man bellowed, his voice echoing across the courtyard.“It’s your job to assist me as your senior in managing the plantation! How is it possible that you haven’t reported for work for an entire month? If I don’t beat you to death today, then I’m the pig!”Alex slowly opened his eyes and ended his meditation.The shout had shattered the quiet around his small hut.He stepped outside and walked into the courtyard.An Outer Sect disciple stood there, glaring at him with obvious fury.Alex paused for a moment. He had only been here a short time and still didn’t understand how many things worked inside the sect.He decided to ask.But before he could even speak, the man who had been ready to explode with rage suddenly froze.His eyes narrowed as he stared at Alex carefully, studying his face as if digging through his memory.“…Wait.”The man’s expression changed.“Are you… the guy from the kitchen?” he asked suddenly.“Yes,” Alex replied calmly.The m
