While asking Yuanbao where the people from the Flying Immortal Sect were, Xu Nian headed towards a crowded area.

True masters live in seclusion in the city; the more people there are, the less attention she receives.

"Host, I thought you were going to wipe them all out in one fell swoop!" Yuanbao leaned on Xu Nian's shoulder, looking as relaxed as could be.

"You think fighting above your level is free? I'm here to earn points, not to spend them." Xu Nian did some mental calculations. If this fight went wrong, half of the points she had exchanged with the original owner's treasures would be gone.

As for what she snatched from the Grand Elder, she couldn't exchange it for points; she could only use it as money in this world.

As for why, it's due to the rules of the Quick Transmigration Bureau: mission takers can only exchange treasures left behind by the original owner for points.

As for why you can't exchange other people's or unclaimed items for points, it's naturally to prevent greedy taskers from using items from the shop to overwhelm the small world.

If mission takers could rob small worlds at will, wouldn't the Quick Transmigration Bureau and the lower planes under its jurisdiction be in chaos?

"What a miser," Yuanbao complained about Xu Nian.

In response, Xu Nian said dejectedly, "Yuanbao, I want to go home as soon as possible."

"I'm sorry, host, I won't call you a miser next time." Yuanbao rubbed Xu Nian's cheek, looking full of regret for what he had said.

"It's okay, I really am a miser! What's shameful about admitting what I enjoy?" Xu Nian smiled, looking completely unconcerned.

Yuanbao, however, was not so optimistic. It was Xu Nian's first system, and Xu Nian was its first host.

They've done several missions together, and it genuinely likes her.

It also didn't understand why the host, who clearly disliked the original world, kept thinking about going back.

Xu Nian didn't know what Yuanbao was thinking, but seeing it fall silent, she couldn't help but pat the little fat pig's head to comfort it.

Thanks to Yuanbao's superpowered calculations, Xu Nian managed to evade the Flying Immortal Sect's pursuit of her after some effort.

"Phew! A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years." Xu Nian squatted in an uninhabited house and secretly swore an oath.

A year is neither a long nor a short time.

During this period, apart from necessary cultivation time, Xu Nian maintained a low profile and avoided showing her face whenever possible.

She finally managed to cultivate to the peak of Foundation Establishment, and is now only one step away from Core Formation.

"Yuanbao, how do we get into that secret realm?" Xu Nian felt it was about time to start the quest.

"Anyone with a cultivation level below Core Formation can enter the secret realm. I've already marked the location for you, host. Please take a look." Yuanbao dutifully gestured to Xu Nian on the map.

"Forget it, you lead the way!" Xu Nian felt a pain in her heart. This cultivation world was truly vast. For someone like her who couldn't even distinguish east from west, north from south, to find a place on her own was far more than just getting lost.

“Host, you can’t rely on me too much. What will you do if I get locked up by the main system in the future?” Yuanbao felt that it still needed to cultivate its host’s survival skills.

"It's okay, we'll talk about it later." Xu Nian thought that what Yuanbao said was impossible. She was doing her tasks with the system in a straightforward manner. How could the main system possibly lock Yuanbao up? It was just wishful thinking.

“Then, host, go this way, cross this mountain range, and then go around this hill to reach the location of the secret realm.” Yuanbao drew the safest and simplest route for Xu Nian.

"Yuanbao is so capable, come here, give me a kiss." Xu Nian hugged Yuanbao and gave the little fat pig a kiss on the cheek.

"Host, watch your drool." Yuanbao found it hardest to accept the kindness of a beautiful woman. After being kissed by its host, it felt like the entire system had crashed.

Xu Nian laughed heartily when she saw Yuanbao's shy expression.

However, after playing around for a while, she didn't forget the important matter; the plot in the secret realm was the most important thing right now.

In the original storyline, the original owner became possessed by a demon in the secret realm.

Therefore, she also needs to become possessed by a demon inside.

However, Xu Nian was careless. Before she even got close to the secret realm, she was discovered by the disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect.

She threw talismans and magical treasures around like they were free, and her flying speed on her sword turned into a streak of light. However, the Flying Immortal Sect disciples chasing her were like leeches, and after killing one batch, another would come.

Xu Nian knew very well that she couldn't afford to waste time with them.

The reason she wasn't found by the Flying Immortal Sect over the past year was because the sect's elders didn't personally go out to capture her.

But if she went to those elders on her own, they definitely wouldn't let her off the hook.

Thinking of this, Xu Nian took out two talismans that he had confiscated from the Grand Elder's storage bag: a Wind Escape Talisman and a Heavenly Thunder Talisman.

The Wind Escape Talisman is used for escaping, while the Thunder Talisman is naturally used for killing enemies.

In order to maximize the effect of the Heavenly Thunder Talisman, Xu Nian deliberately pretended to be lacking in spiritual power and slowed down his flight speed.

While those people surrounded her, she also took several attacks from their spells and swords. Fortunately, these injuries were not serious and would heal completely in a few days with proper care.

"Traitor of the Flying Immortal Sect, we have finally caught you today! Quickly hand over the stolen treasures of the Flying Immortal Sect, and we will give you a quick death."

Seeing that Xu Nian was surrounded by so many people, some people felt that she had nowhere to escape and immediately jumped out to scold her, unable to suppress their greed.

"If you want this treasure, then come and get it!" Xu Nian smiled, her expression arrogant and unrestrained.

Then, in a flash, he rushed into the area with the most disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect, detonating the Heavenly Thunder Talisman with one hand without hesitation, and immediately crushing the Wind Escape Talisman with the other.

Amidst the deafening roar of thunderclouds, everyone's cries and screams were drowned out by the thunder.

Xu Nian, on the other hand, had already escaped the area bombarded by thunderclouds thanks to the Wind Escape Talisman.

"Tsk tsk! As expected of a talisman with Golden Core cultivation, quite a few disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect must have died this time. Those elders must be furious." Xu Nian murmured.

She didn't think killing those Flying Immortal Sect disciples was a cruel act. In her view, there were only three kinds of people in the world: friends, enemies, and strangers.

The disciples of the Flying Immortal Sect were considered her enemies.

Being merciful to the enemy is not being cruel to yourself.

She loves herself so much, of course she can't be cruel to herself.

"Host, quick, control the direction of the Shield Wind Talisman, we're going straight into the secret realm," Yuanbao reminded him.

“Okay.” Xu Nian caught a glimpse of the secret realm, which was a large, dark blue vortex, estimated to be a hundred meters in diameter. It stood upright in mid-air, and people would occasionally fly in on various objects.

At the same time, Xu Nian also saw the Second Elder of the Flying Immortal Sect. Her eyes fell on her, and she raised her hand to stop her.

However, Xu Nian's Shield Wind Talisman was too fast, and without any preparation, the Second Elder couldn't stop her at all.

With a "pop," like ripples breaking in water, the Wind Escape Talisman was completely dissolved by the secret realm the moment it entered.

Then Xu Nian felt dizzy and, upon opening her eyes, found herself in another world.

The vibrant pink flowers and their mesmerizing, alluring fragrance assaulted Xu Nian's senses.

"Host, get out of here quickly!" Yuanbao said anxiously.
