Dongfang Mian froze in her second aunt's arms. She hadn't noticed when the woman hadn't moved, but when she used her spiritual energy to lift her up, Dongfang Mian was horrified to discover that the simple village woman she thought she was was actually a powerful Spirit Emperor.
"Second Aunt, is this the human realm?" Dongfang Mian asked timidly.
Although the spiritual energy here is significantly denser than that of the Vermilion Bird Continent, I was thrown out of the void tunnel after all, and who knows where it will throw me?
Hearing this, everyone laughed. Second Aunt laughed and said, "Little girl, you didn't hurt your head, did you? If this isn't the human realm, where else would it be? You young people always like to talk about the upper realm and the lower realm. Let me tell you, there is really no other place besides the human realm."
Hearing this answer, Dongfang Mian felt relieved. As long as they were in the human realm, she would always find a way to find them.
"Second Aunt, where is this place?" Dongfang Mian asked.
"This is Niujiao Village, 800 li outside Biyou City, under the jurisdiction of the Lixin Sword Sect, which is affiliated with the Liexing Valley Sect of Ziyun Continent in the Western Regions," the second aunt said without stuttering. Dongfang Mian almost choked to death upon hearing this.
But Dongfangmian still managed to pinpoint the key point: Ziyunzhou in the Western Regions.
Dongfang Mian had previously heard Aju mention that the human realm was divided into nine regions and thirteen continents, but she didn't know exactly what they were. She figured the Western Regions was one of them, but she didn't know their exact location.
To avoid arousing suspicion, Dongfang Mian dared not ask any further questions. She only said that she was ambushed during her training and fled in panic after being seriously injured. She did not know how she ended up here, and then fell into a coma due to her serious injuries until she was discovered by her second aunt and others.
Second Aunt and the others had no doubts about Dongfang Mian's words and kindly settled her in Second Aunt's house.
After sending the others away, the second aunt first used silver needles to help Dongfang Mian clear the blockage of spiritual energy in her body, and then casually began to refine pills in front of her, just like cooking.
Dongfang Mian then learned that her second aunt had both fire and water attribute bloodlines, and was also a high-level alchemist and a mid-level physician.
She couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement, which made her second aunt laugh. "Little girl, where did you come from? How come you have less knowledge than us village women?"
"I... uh... I came from a very far place. I've been living in seclusion to cultivate. My family just let me out to train, and I got injured," Dongfang Mian said casually.
"Oh, so you're from one of those reclusive families. I was just saying, families like yours are great in every way, but they just don't want to interact with the world. Tell me, where else would you find a family with so little protection that just lets their children out to train? Listen to your second aunt, don't just wander around like a headless fly. Next month, all the major sects in Biyou City will be recruiting disciples. Just apply to any one of them and get some experience before you go solo," the second aunt enthusiastically suggested.
Major sects are recruiting disciples? That's good news. Dongfang Mian nodded in deep agreement.
Seeing that Dongfang Mian had taken her words to heart, Second Aunt was even happier. While refining pills, she said, "That's perfect! A few days ago, an injured young man was going to the city to visit relatives. I'll have my husband take you both to the city."
An injured little boy? Could it be...?
"Second Aunt, what's the name of that injured boy?" Dongfang Mian asked nervously.
"What? You know him? Let me think... what's his name again? I think it's Yan... Yan..." Second Aunt fell into deep thought.
"Yan Lin?" Dongfang Mian asked tentatively.
Second Aunt slapped her thigh, "Yes, that's the name."
