Chapter 1: Terminal Meridians Trash

Sponsored Content

 The moment Lou Mu Yan stepped into the Imperial Academy’s gates, she received numerous types of gazes; of disdain, loathing, jealousy, ridicule, dislike, and of interest, that of which appeared like they were watching a play…

She sighed inwardly.
What sort of failure was the original owner of this body that she looked like a pest in everyone’s eyes! So many gazes and yet not one of them were looks of friendliness—she was really speechless.

Calmly ignoring all the unfriendly gazes, Lou Mu Yan continued towards the direction of the library.

According to the memories of the original owner, the library of the Imperial Academy collected the most comprehensive list of books in the entire Empire, including books that recorded various medicinal herbs and Spiritual Herbs on this Continent.
She now wanted to find out if this Continent had the Spiritual Herbs to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

She, Lou Mu Yan, a Cultivator with the Heavenly Spiritual Root at the Body Fusion Stage, encountered the battle between two True Spirit cultivators when she was breaking through to the Great Ascension Stage and, unluckily enough, was dragged into the spatial storm caused by their battle.
Her physical body was destroyed, while her Soul transmigrated into the body of a natural-born trash with the Terminal Meridians constitution on Tian’ling Continent.

Whether in her former life’s cultivation world or the current world, both followed the law of survival of the strongest.
Lou Mu Yan was currently far too weak—any random cultivator could easily squish her beneath their foot.

She desperately desired to increase her power, but if she wanted to re-cultivate, she was required to unblock all of the meridians in this body, otherwise she couldn’t even feel the Spiritual Force of Heaven and Earth in this world, not to mention absorb it to cultivate.
And the only way to solve this problem was to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill and improve and eliminate this trash body.

People with Terminal Meridians simply meant that their entire body’s meridians were blocked, unable to unclog, and no matter how hard they tried, they wouldn’t be able to absorb the Spiritual Force in the atmosphere.
At most, they could only cultivate until Advanced-Phase Sword Apprentice in this world.

On the way to the library, Lou Mu Yan could hear people judging.

When one young girl saw Lou Mu Yan had passed by, she immediately went to her friend beside her, whispering, “Isn’t that Lou Mu Yan? Why’d she return to the Academy?”

“Other than to chase after Chi Yi Xian, why else would she return to the Imperial Academy?” Another person replied in disdain.

“She still has the face to return, how shameless.” There was derision in this girl’s voice.

“That’s right, Chi Yi Xuan never gave her any good looks.” Mentioning the name ‘Chi Yi Xuan’, there existed a sliver of yearning in her voice.

Another person continued: “She shamelessly chases after Chi Yi Xuan every day, the Lou Clan lost all their face because of her.”

“Exactly, why couldn’t she have just been beaten into a handicap by Gu Yan Ran last time.” Then she added: “Pfft.
I almost forgot she was already trash.”

“Shh, lower your voice, if she heard you, she’d bring her guards to bash people again.
Whatever you say, she still has her superior status protecting her, so what if she’s trash? Not like we can afford to offend her.” There was a hint of bitterness in her voice.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes but didn’t bother debating with them.
Her most important thing right now was to improve her constitution.

Without power as the premise, her days were truly miserable.
Using the barbaric ways of the original owner of this body, as if she had a brain spasm1, to bully others was something she really couldn’t do.

But in reality, the original owner of this body wasn’t really that unbearable.
Since she inherited all the memories and emotions of the original owner, in Lou Mu Yan’s eyes, the original owner simply loved a person she shouldn’t have and used simplistic and idiotic ways to deal with interpersonal relationships.
Her reputation was only ruined by scheming people—she wasn’t a bad person.

She actually pitied the original owner.
She was born in the Lou Clan that was brimming with prodigies, yet she was a person born with the Terminal Meridians constitution.
She didn’t belong.

Despite her strong background, it could never fill the loneliness and inferiority in her heart.
So she used unreasonable and wilful methods to hide her hopelessness and struggles.
She licked her wounds alone; wounds from unobtainable love, eventually resulting in her willingly dispersing her own Soul and relinquished the body to the current Lou Mu Yan.

The library was situated deep within the forest of red maple trees.
Within the forest, arrays were installed, and only those who bore the customised student badge of the Academy wouldn’t get lost.

A sea of fiery red maple leaves swayed with the wind.
Beneath the sunlight, they were set ablaze, and even more gorgeous, forming a unique scenery within the Academy.

At the very end of the Red Maple Forest stood a profound, ancient building.

Lou Mu Yan’s powers were inhibited after her Soul transmigrated, and she had no cultivation base, but her Soul was very strong, so she could use Mental Energy equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage of her previous life.
As such, she could perceive that there was a layer of energy protecting the library building.

She also discovered that there were currently a few very powerful auras concealed within the building, probably belonging to the guardians of the library.

The entrance to the library was open all year round.
When she entered, she took out her student badge and gave it to the manager.
After registering, she entered the inner room, followed the signs, and found a book titled 《Tian’ling Continent’s Flora Record》.
