Hunter Jade Flower

Year 212

"What?" She stood abruptly with eyes popping out in disbelief, her gaze landed on the pill furnace in front of her, where 10 black pills were currently laying peacefully.

"I DID IT!" Her face broke into a wide smile as she pumped her fist and roared into the sky.

Then she started running around, she punch the wall hard but didn't care about the pain in her knuckles.

Instead, she started dancing around wildly.

"Yeah Yeah Yeah." She swing her fist, twist her waist, and so on, she dance all the moves she knew in her past lives, her silvery hair danced along with her movement, she somersaulted, but the heavy feeling of happiness in her heart didn't lessen a bit.

She continued doing this, entering the living room and accidentally breaking a chair, but she didn't care, she continue to dance towards the kitchen, and the moment she entered, her expression froze before she released a sigh and started dancing back towards the door as if nothing happens, but when she reached the door, she paused and took in a deep breath before entering back.

"Today is the last day I'm going to stay here anyway, and then, the realm is going to disappear. I don't know how long it is going to take me to leave the Blue Moon Continent and arrive at Red Moon Continent, but I'm very sure I have to cook and eat on this long journey"

She started picking up all the dirty pots that were scattered around, the plates were even more than the pots and were stained with dry soups, indicating that it was going to require a long time in cleaning, and the chopsticks were even in worse condition than the plates, many of them were broken. She was sure that they wouldn't come back to her in their next lives.

"But... Aren't I the only one living here? Why are the plates so many? Sighs, it is probably going to take half a day in washing all these plates, right?" She shook her head with a sigh. "Or should I just leave it here like this?"

She didn't act to her thought and instead focus on washing the dishes.

She has been living in this realm for almost eight years now. The realm was like the real world, but it is just that time is much slower in here than the outside world.

After her family's extermination by the emperor and her escape with her mother and her mother's maid, Ranran, they discover that they weren't completely free from the emperor's grasp, because they have been poisoned by a pill named 'Hunter Jade'.

Hunter Jade was a pill made from the Hunter Jade flower by a level alchemist, and it has the ability to leak their scent to their enemy. Thus, this brought their last-minute change in plan as her mother swiftly decided to let them hide inside a realm, then Lin Yue, the only alchemist among them could practice and maybe one day produce a pill that could get rid of this Hunter Jade Pill.

Level four alchemists were very rare, and even Lin Yue's master who was once the Lin Family head, a very powerful cultivator was only a level three alchemist.

Thus, Lin Yue didn't have any hope of making an Anti Hunter Jade pill within the next ten years, but she still try her best and practice every day, but one day, her mother and Ranran disappeared!

The memory was still vivid in her head. She was only eight at that time and has just woken up. As per her usual routine, after taking a bath, she would cultivate first in the morning, train in the afternoon and practice alchemy at night, only spending five hours to sleep.

After finishing cultivating that day, she went to the kitchen to take her food but under her plate was a huge textbook with the word "How to cook 100 dishes."

"It must belong to Big Sister Ranran, or is mother trying to learn how to cook? It wouldn't be a surprise though." She muttered, remembering the poisonous dishes her mother used to cook when Ranran has something to do outside and wasn't around.

She went back to her room and upon finishing eating, she practice her sword skill in her courtyard and when she was hungry, she walks back to the kitchen, but this time around, she didn't find any meal there.

Frowning hard, she walked to her mother and Ranran's favorite spot, but she didn't find them there.

"Mother! Big Sister Ranran!" She called out, but all she got was no reply, silence, except for the chirping of the birds.

The weather was hot but Lin Yue didn't care. She yelled their names and barged into their rooms and that's when another thought hit her upon seeing the clean bedroom.

"They had left."

She stumbled back, her hand felt too weak to hold onto the wall for support, thus, she fell. But she didn't care.

Her mother... She had left.

Just like her father, and her master.

Her heartache and she couldn't help but worry about their safety. Her mother was regarded as a powerful cultivator back in their home, but she didn't know if the woman can hold on against the hundreds of guards chasing after their lives.

After all, the moment they left the realm, the people in the outside world would feel their presence, as well as their direction.

~~Back to the present~~

"Mother, wherever you are, I hope you're happy. I have finally managed to make a pill that dissolves Hunter Jade, a pity you weren't here."

Lin Yue sighs as she cleaned all the dishes. After they left, she didn't care about herself anymore, and didn't even cultivate, but only focus on producing a pill that would resolve the powerful spell and allow her to roam outside the world freely.
