2 Chapter 2

This world is called Laimyra, and it's territories are divided equally in 4 kingdoms, to avoid a war since their powers are all balanced. They are the Fallmon Kingdom, the Vulcas Kingdom, the Liasar Kingdom and the Mimbria Kingdom.

***

I have just reached the closest town to the capital of the Fallmoon Kingdom, I was planning to go to the Mimbria Kingdom since they are known for their medical knowledge. Especially since I need to cure this body so I can cultivate and protect myself in this eat-the-weak world thought Scarlet to herself.

It was almost noon and as Scarlet walked through the town she watched the bustling street, she stopped to get herself some food and entered a clothing store. She needed to get out of this servants attire.

"Welcome, can I help you? May I know what do you need?" asked the worker

"Please show me your dresses that are simple, durable and easy to move" Scar said politely

"Right this way"

While trying the simple white dress given by the clerk Scarlet was finally able to observe this body's features. She had long black hair, green eyes, white skin, well proportioned curves and a height of 5'4 feet. Quite a beauty if you disregard the scars from previous injuries in her back and arms, her dry hair and skin. Regardless, those can be taken care with time.

"I will take this one." Scarlet said as she came out of the room wearing the white dress

"That will be 2 silvers" the clerk said

"Do you know where can I find medicinal herbs or anything medical related?" Scarlet asked after paying

"There is one branch of the Lotus Pavilion here in town, you can find anything there. They have pills, elixirs, medicinal and spiritual herbs... That is probably the only positive thing about this expansion of the Mimbria Kingdom, they are popping out everywhere." the worker said half complaining half informing

After Scar thanked the worker and was making her way to the Pavilion, she began to think about her remaining money, she only has around 23 silvers.

100 coppers = 1 silver

1000 silvers = 1 gold

There is also the different tiers of spiritual stones that are mainly used as currency amongst cultivators. They can also be used to cultivate or form formations since they have spiritual energy.

"I think I will first have to see what type of medicine they have here in this world, maybe if the price is right I can also buy something for my scars, like Agrimonia eupatoria (Xian He Cao) or Lavandula angustifolia." said a mumbling Scarlet as she reached the Pavilion

Inside the building you could see shelfs and shelfs with many types of herbs with their function below them, the second floor housed pills and even furnaces, while in the third floor there were spiritual plants, but I wasn't allowed entry there.

Whilst Scar was inspecting the herbs that they had she began to form an unsettling thought, until she was done observing every herb and there was no way out of it.

"How!? I already knew that there was no technology here, but still this world could have at least maintained the same herbs as my last one, but no, everything is different and magical even!" screamed Scarlet inside her head

Scar went out of the pavilion as she thought about earlier, she saw that quite a lot of herbs had corresponding uses to herbs that she knows, so it doesn't matter, she will learn it all again.

That's all the more reason to hurry her trip to the Mimbria Kingdom. She was already planning on finding out about the spiritual plants, since they don't exist on Earth, and how they can be used as medicine. She also needed more information on cultivation and their methods, to help her when she finally cures this body and other people, after all, all almost everyone cultivates. And unfortunately only knowing traditional chinese medicine and the body acupoints won't be enough if she doesn't know how the spiritual roots, the dantian, the qi circulation on the meridians affect the body, maybe instead of saving someone she will cause qi deviation/ cultivation defect.

Maybe she will build a clinic after this or just be a wandering doctor, it will be easier to see the world that way.

Scarlet went to an inn to rest for the night. She plans to start her journey first thing tomorrow morning, but just as she went inside her room she hear an electronic voice in her head.

Ding! System activated!

Requirements met (seek independence and knowledge).

Welcome Host.

"Wow! This is really starting to sound like a novel. That means that I will be able to cultivate much faster and easier than other like those protagonists?! Do I get an space that I can enter too?.." Scar started rambling excitedly until the voice interrupted her

[Quest: Travel to Wingtar region to establish yourself at the innermost part of the forest.]

[Reward for getting to Wingtar region: 1 aura pill (will allow Host to reach the innermost part of the forest without being harmed) - 1 time use only.]

[Reward for reaching innermost part of the forest: ???]

"Wait! What?! Besides if it is a one time use only how will I get out of there later, and that isn't even a real reward since I will be forced to use it to actually complete the quest. Anyway, unless there is a way for me to fix this body, so I can cultivate, by going there. Or you tell me what the second reward is, my plan remains the same. I need to go to the Mimbria Kingdom first." said Scarlet

[That is unnecessary, it is impossible for you to cultivate in this lifetime with this body, there is nothing anyone can do, you should quickly accept your fate of being a weakling.]

"Where the hell is the system that is going to make me OP like the other's?! F**k, since that is the case, I need to figure out how to not get killed/ sold and what to do now." said an indignant and irritated girl

[You will survive and live by using your medical skills, information trade and cooking skill.]

"I understand the first two but cooking? Are they my rewards? Because I still need to readjust and learn how to correlate the medicine from this world with Earth's, the only information I know of this place is common sense and I don't know how to cook with this primitive tools. It will be good to know those things, seems like you can be a useful system." said Scar

[Of course not, there is no such thing as free knowledge and skills, you will have to learn and acquire those yourself, the system will only provide you with the materials. You have 13 days to reach your destination, otherwise the system will deem you unfit and end the connection with you, leaving you on your own.]

"How can you be such a useless system compared to those in the novels!? You can't make me cultivate or anything else and you are already rushing to be disabled" complained Scarlet

[The system didn't think there was a need to say such things seeing as how you were able to adapt to life here in two days, but the system has now deemed it necessary. This is not a novel, but real life, in your case a second life, like you said earlier you can die so please treat it as reality.]

" ... Can't I get carried away a little? At any rate, I don't know if I should thank you for the extra days or find it insulting that maybe you thought I was so useless as to need a total of 13 days to get to Wingtar, when it only takes 5 days to reach it from here." said Scar

[Analyzing Host's wish. Complying with Host's request.]

[You have 6 days to reach your destination. The system has deemed your determination to get there as soon as you can praise worth and given you one extra day.]

"Nooo! Noo! I take it back! You are a good system. Don't you know what kind of place is the Wingtar region!?! What if something unforeseen happens..." exclaimed Scar nonstop
