Gu Yufei carefully recalled the years more than 20 years ago.

At that time, her name was not Gu Yufei, but Song Linlin.

………………………………………………

In the quiet bamboo forest of Jiang Sect, Song Linlin stood alone in front of her master Song Yueyue's door. Her face was pale and her eyes flashed with complex emotions.

She had a weak constitution since childhood and was often looked down upon by her fellow disciples, but her master's wife Song Yueyue always cared for her.

Song Linlin knew that he could not achieve anything in martial arts, so he turned to studying medicine in order to make a contribution to the sect.

That day, sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, casting patches of light on the stone walls of the secret room.

Song Linlin originally just wanted to find some medicinal herbs, but accidentally discovered an ancient pill recipe.

This recipe was hidden in an inconspicuous corner, covered in dust, and it seemed that no one had touched it for a long time.

Song Linlin picked up the recipe curiously, but the moment she touched it, the recipe suddenly combusted and turned into ashes.

She was startled and felt an inexplicable fear. She was worried that her master would scold her if he knew about it, so she decided to keep it a secret.

She began to try to refine the mysterious elixir based on the recipe in her memory.

After unremitting efforts, she finally succeeded in refining a crystal clear pill. After much hesitation, she decided to take the pill.

Soon after taking it, she felt a surge of powerful strength surging through her body. Her martial arts skills began to improve by leaps and bounds, even surpassing her fellow disciples in a short period of time.

Both the Master's wife and Master were surprised at her progress, but also happy for her.

"Lin'er, your martial arts skills are improving rapidly, and you have also made some achievements in medical skills. As long as you keep working hard, you will definitely make the Jiang Sect's reputation even more famous!" The master's wife held Song Linlin's hand and said gently.

"Master's wife, I will try my best." Song Linlin felt warm in her heart.

She must work hard.

Work hard to carry forward the Jiang Sect.

Good fortune and misfortune go hand in hand, and this powerful force finally brought trouble to Gu Yufei.

During a practice session, she suddenly felt her inner energy go out of control and she became possessed. Her eyes became confused and her movements became frantic.

Unable to control the situation, she accidentally injured several fellow disciples.

This incident shocked the entire Jiang Sect. Master and his wife rushed to the scene and saw the injured disciple lying on the ground and Song Linlin with fear in his eyes.

"Lin'er, what's wrong with you?" Master's wife Song Yueyue came forward and asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.

"Lin'er, what's going on? Explain it to Master!"

Song Linlin trembled, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew her mistake had hurt her fellow disciples, and she didn't know how to face it all.

"I... I don't know. I can't control my internal strength." Song Linlin said with a sob.

The master and his wife looked at each other and realized that this might be related to Song Linlin's sudden improvement in martial arts.

They decided to temporarily place Song Linlin in a quiet place so that they could better understand the situation.

Song Linlin was taken to a quiet bamboo building. She sat by the window, looking out at the bamboo forest. She couldn't calm down for a long time. She began to reflect on her own behavior and also had deep doubts about the mysterious elixir.

As time went by, Song Linlin's mood gradually stabilized. She decided to confess everything to her master's wife, including the self-immolation pill recipe and her secret medicine making.

After listening to Song Linlin's story, Master's Wife Song Yueyue did not blame her. Instead, she comforted her and said, "Lin'er, you didn't do it on purpose. Perhaps this recipe has a secret that we don't know. We need to find out its origin together."

With the support of her master's wife, Song Linlin began to look for clues about the recipe. After some investigation, she found that the recipe was related to an ancient legend of the Jiang Sect.

It is said that a long time ago, a patriarch of the Jiang Sect once created a pill that could quickly improve martial arts skills, but because of its severe side effects, it was eventually banned.
