Ye Xiruo stood up, facing the rising sun, feeling the benefits of her brief cultivation, and a smile curved her lips.

Lightly leaping down from the roof, Ye Xiruo carried two buckets of water and placed them next to the vegetable garden. She began watering the cabbages, green peppers, bok choy, and cucumbers—all her favorites. Aunt Wang had said that if they couldn't finish them, they could sell them.

Now she's truly poor, trapped in a space that's completely barren. She thought about going to the back mountain to hunt for treasures, but she was afraid of encountering danger, after all, she didn't know what enemies this body might have.

Half an hour later, Ye Xiruo finished watering the vegetable garden, picked a few cucumbers and a handful of green beans, and prepared breakfast.

Boil water, rinse rice, cook porridge, then prepare the cold dishes. The green beans will be stir-fried with garlic, scallions, and ginger later. Recalling that the steamed buns were steamed, Ye Xiruo stared blankly at half a bag of flour. The flour here is light yellow, but a bit lighter than cornmeal; the taste is exactly the same.

There's no baking powder here, how am I supposed to steam buns? Are we going to have to drink porridge every day from now on? Aha! I can make some scallion and egg pancakes first. Aunt Wang just brought over a few eggs yesterday. Without further ado, I kneaded the dough, chopped the scallions, and—it was really spicy!—Ye Xiruo stuck out her tongue as she carefully mixed in the garlic, green peppers, and other seasonings.

Half an hour later, the dough had risen enough. Divide it into five pieces, roll them out flat, put chopped green onions in, roll them up, and then roll them out into pancakes again. After all of them were done, put them in the small pot at the back and start baking.

A few minutes later, the rich aroma of scallions wafted over. Ye Xiruo took a deep sniff. So fragrant! She flipped the pancake over; it should be ready to eat soon.

The kitchen was now filled with an irresistible aroma, and Ye Xiruo couldn't resist any longer—afraid she might just eat it raw. She ran back to her father's study to see if there were any history or geography books that would give her a general understanding of what this world was like. After all, based solely on Aunt Wang's description, Ye Xiruo couldn't grasp the distribution of power in this world, the strength levels of the experts, or her future plans. Should she settle down in this small mountain village and grow vegetables? Or should she use the mysterious system to wreak havoc and leave her mark on history?

She finally found a copy of "A Record of Geographical Anecdotes of the Continent," thankfully in traditional Chinese characters, otherwise she would have been devastated. Found it! The description of Rui Kingdom: a small, remote borderland, a desolate place with scarce spiritual energy, and rarely home to geniuses or spiritual creatures. Specialties: low-grade Yue Guang Grass, Divine Wood Heart, and Thunderlight Fruit. And that was it.

Ye Xiruo slumped in her chair. What? A few dozen words summed up everything about Rui Kingdom—the author is really blunt! Should she leave? The vast resources needed for cultivation seem to be lacking here. Without resources and without strength, she probably won't escape a tragic death.

"Oh no, my scallion pancakes." Hopefully they won't burn.

"Huh!" Where's my pancake? There's only one left, and it's half burnt black. Could it be Aunt Wang? No way! She's a cultivator now, she can still recognize the footsteps of ordinary people.

Now, Ye Xiruo is basically certain that her cake was stolen by a person or a beast. Hmph! Please, don't let me find out! The grudge of having her cake stolen is irreconcilable.

She had worked so hard to make it, but before she could even take a bite, someone else had stolen it from her. Ye Xiruo was furious. Feeling wronged, she served herself a bowl of porridge, and then, unwilling to accept it, she cut off the burnt part of the remaining pancake and took a vicious bite.

"Thief who steals cakes!" Humph, what is this? A jade pendant the size of a little finger. Judging by its color, it is smooth and translucent, without any impurities, and there is a red knot on it.

This was the money for the cake. Although the jade was more valuable, she worked so hard making the cake! And because of the ingredients (mainly the spirit egg), the cake was really delicious. Ye Xi quickly devoured the last one, licking her fingers, still wanting more. A curse, a deep curse…

"Achoo!" A white-robed immortal, with unparalleled elegance, sneezed without any regard for his image, startling several junior brothers and sisters behind him.

Before the group could even finish digesting, the white-robed immortal calmly took out a scallion pancake from his spatial ring, which still smelled delicious, and began to eat it with an air of nonchalance.

"Second Brother, hit me! Am I dreaming?"

"Junior sister, don't pinch me, it hurts!" The fifth junior sister grabbed her third senior brother's arm and pinched him hard, clearly unable to believe it was real. Their eldest senior brother, who was supposed to be detached from worldly affairs, had long since abstained from grains, yet now he was actually eating mortal food.

Suddenly, a scream came from behind them. It turned out that the fourth brother couldn't take the blow and fell off the flying sword.

The remaining few people looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

The white-robed immortal in front made no discernible movement, but a flash of white light appeared from his sleeve. A moment later, the still-shaken fourth brother returned, stepping on an ancient flying sword.

"Big...Senior Brother."

The remaining few also stared at their eldest brother with shining eyes. If they weren't dreaming, then their eldest brother must have been possessed.

"Alright, this mission is quite important. I shouldn't have brought you all along. Everyone, stay focused." After everyone had calmed down, Xiu Qiyu calmly took out a scallion pancake from her ring and continued eating. That little girl's cooking skills are pretty good.

Ye Xiruo was unaware of all this. She was currently in her study, browsing through books about the mainland. Several hours later, Ye Xiruo stretched and closed the book.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. She hasn't forgotten the author of the oldest book who asserted that beyond the Taiyan Continent, there are other continents. Beyond this space, there are other spaces. Therefore, strength is the most important thing.

Ye Xiruo used her mental power to slowly "open" the "Encyclopedia of Ten Thousand Medicines" in her sea of ​​consciousness. The "Encyclopedia of Ten Thousand Medicines" contains a total of 156,720 kinds of medicinal materials. The only thing worth noting is that it contains simulated images, just like 3D images, which can clearly show the leaves, veins, roots, and fruits. It's like having a cheat machine.

Ye Xiruo's brain started working at lightning speed, automatically classifying the medicinal herbs. Herbs with similar medicinal properties or similar appearances were grouped together. Then, she only needed to remember their most distinctive characteristics, and that group of herbs was considered sorted out.

Ye Xiruo's mind raced through the pharmacopoeia, faster and faster, as if she had entered a profound state. Three hours later, Ye Xiruo took a deep breath, a faint green light flashing in her eyes. After confirming that she had memorized over a thousand kinds of medicinal herbs, she was so excited she almost jumped for joy.

"You brat, open the door!" The deafening voice and violent banging made Ye Xiruo frown.
