Weird, my gaming life

However, Lin Yuan did not intend to use this advantage when he was short of source points, as he currently had twenty-two source points remaining.

He planned to acquire some practical martial arts manuals, focusing on external martial arts techniques, mental control, and alchemy skills.

Having learned from his previous experience of being hurt in real life, Lin Yuan, who originally only regarded alchemy as a skill for making money, began to take it seriously.

If he had had a healing pill like the Minor Rejuvenation Pill back then, he wouldn't have had to drag his injured body to fight the enemy.

Moreover, now that his identity in reality has stabilized, besides practicing that Blood Burning and Bone Forging technique at the gym, he will definitely have to go to school.

While reading can enhance mental strength in the game world, reading in real life is also incredibly important.

First, he needed to broaden his horizons. The technology in reality and the medical medications the doctor had given him showed Lin Yuan the merits of reality.

If only we could combine real-world medical supplies with the alchemy techniques of the game world.

Therefore, it would be of great benefit to him both in reality and in the game world.

This requires him to have sufficient knowledge of both worlds; otherwise, the medicinal properties of the drugs in the two worlds alone would be enough to stump him.

It's worth noting that he still can't bring things from the game world back into reality.

Aside from cultivation, nothing else can be transferred to reality. This means that if he cannot thoroughly understand the properties of medicines in reality, then no matter how skilled he is in alchemy, it will be useless to him in reality.

After clearing his mind, Lin Yuan looked outside. The sky was already bright with the first light of dawn, and the familiar morning bell rang. Lin Yuan tidied himself up slightly and prepared to head to the Scripture Pavilion, which he had been longing to visit, to enrich himself.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he was met with a smiling little face.

"Good morning, junior brother!"

Lin Yuan was taken aback, wondering why his senior sister had come to his courtyard so early. However, Lin Yuan reacted quickly and bowed.

Good morning, senior sister!

After exchanging greetings, Lin Yuan noticed that Zhao Ran was still looking at him with a smile, which left Lin Yuan somewhat puzzled.

"Senior sister...you..."

Lin Yuan asked with a slight hint of doubt.

Zhao Ran gave him a reproachful look. "Junior brother, have you forgotten what you said yesterday? You promised to go for a walk with me today. Are you trying to run off to the Scripture Pavilion again?"

After saying that, she rolled her eyes dramatically and stomped her little feet.

An embarrassment appeared on Lin Yuan's face. He then remembered that he had indeed promised his senior sister to go out for a walk because he thought he had mastered his martial arts and could stop eating beef.

After all, his senior sister had invited him several times, and it would be too disrespectful to refuse again.

"Hehe, Senior Sister, Junior Brother was still half asleep and didn't remember for a moment!"

Lin Yuan glanced at the location of the Sutra Repository in the distance, then reluctantly turned his gaze away.

"I wonder where you're planning to go today, senior sister!"

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's reply, Zhao Ran's pretty face immediately blossomed into a triumphant smile, like a general who had won a battle.

"That's more like it!" She nodded in satisfaction, grabbed Lin Yuan's sleeve, and walked out, saying lightly, "I already made an appointment with them to meet at Qinxin Garden in the sect. It has the best scenery there, and my cousins ​​love going there the most."

Lin Yuan was half-dragged and half-pulled along by her, a look of helplessness on his face.

He realized that his senior sister was determined to find him a childhood sweetheart.

Well then, let's just consider it fulfilling my senior sister's wish to be a matchmaker. Anyway, there's still plenty of time, so we can finish quickly. I just hope my senior sister won't be too disappointed.

Following Zhao Ran's lead, Lin Yuan strolled along the corridor, his mind already wandering far away, pondering his own affairs.

His mastery of the Vajra Wrathful Dragon Tiger Fist was still far from complete, and his Divine Shift Tiger Step was only at the beginner level. Not to mention that he wanted to find a technique to further enhance his mental strength, as well as those unorthodox methods he desired.

There are so many things waiting for him to explore, after all, these are the foundation of his livelihood.

Thinking about these things, Lin Yuan looked at Zhao Ran, who was excitedly pulling him along, and a look of helplessness appeared on his face again.

Oh well! Let her be! After all, she's his senior!

……

Qinxin Garden is not far from Danyangmai's residence; you can reach it by walking through a path lined with green bamboo.

The garden is not large, but it is extremely elegant. A small artificial hill stands in the middle of the pond.

The pond water was crystal clear, and several red koi carp swam leisurely in it. A pavilion stood beside the pond, where two beautiful young women were sitting, their voices melodious and their laughter radiant.

"Ling'er! Yue'er! I'm here!" Zhao Ran waved from afar, his voice full of joy.

The two girls in the pavilion looked over upon hearing the sound.

One of them was wearing a pale yellow dress, with an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows. Her appearance was somewhat similar to Zhao Ran's, so she must be her cousin Zhao Ling'er.

The other one was dressed in a light blue dress, with delicate features and a slightly haughty demeanor.

"Sister Ran, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for quite a while." Zhao Ling'er stood up and greeted her, but her gaze immediately fell on Lin Yuan beside Zhao Ran, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Who is this?" She looked at Lin Yuan curiously, her eyes like she was looking at an exquisite doll.

"This is Lin Yuan, the junior brother my master recently took in, whom I've mentioned to you before."

Zhao Ran enthusiastically pushed Lin Yuan forward, introducing him with a face full of pride: "Don't underestimate my junior brother just because he's young; he's incredibly talented and deeply loved by my master!"

Following proper etiquette, Lin Yuan gave a perfunctory bow and said, "Greetings, Senior Sisters."

His voice still had a childlike quality, but his tone was calmer than a child's. His gaze swept over the two of them briefly before he paid them no further attention.

"So it was you."

Another girl named Wang Yue looked Lin Yuan up and down, a faint smile playing on her lips. "I've heard Sister Ran mention that Elder Li has taken on a personal disciple, and he comes from the Xiao Yang lineage. Junior Brother must have suffered a lot in the past, right?"

These words sounded like expressions of concern, but the sense of superiority hidden in the tone was unmistakable.

Everyone knows that the Danyang lineage of Qinghe Palace is now incredibly wealthy, while the once glorious Xiaoyang lineage has long since declined under Xiao Weiran's management.

The disciples under the sect were of mediocre cultivation. Apart from the senior brother Ling Xiao, who was passable, the other disciples were all useless, and their status in the sect plummeted.

To rise from a declining branch to become the personal disciple of the Fifth Elder of the Danyang lineage is, in the eyes of many, nothing short of meteoric, entirely due to luck.

Zhao Ran's smile froze for a moment. She understood the implication in Wang Yue's words and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Yue'er, don't talk nonsense. My junior brother is very talented, which is why my master took a liking to him."

"Yes, yes, you have great talent." Wang Yue smiled perfunctorily, then turned to Lin Yuan, "Junior Brother, I've heard that the medicinal cuisine of the Danyang lineage has extraordinary effects. You were promoted from the miscellaneous servants' quarters, so you probably haven't tasted many good things yet, right? You should cherish this blessing in the future."

As she spoke, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and chuckled softly, as if she were talking about something amusing.

Zhao Ling'er chimed in, "Yes, Junior Brother, the Danyang lineage is not like other places. There are countless other branches eyeing it. You'd better work harder and not embarrass Elder Li and Sister Ran."

The two spoke in unison, their words filled with disdain and arrogance, completely disregarding Lin Yuan as an equal fellow disciple.

Zhao Ran's originally happy expression turned somewhat ugly. She never expected that her good intention of bringing her junior brother out would turn into such a disguised humiliation.

She wanted to speak several times, but didn't know how to refute it.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Yuan, the person involved, acted as if nothing had happened.

There was no anger at being slighted on his face, nor any sign of unease.

He simply stood there quietly, his gaze not even lingering on Zhao Ling'er and Wang Yue's faces, but drifting towards the artificial hill not far away.

He was thinking that the structure of this artificial mountain was somewhat similar to the "Dragon Coiling and Tiger Crouching" move from the Vajra Wrathful Dragon Tiger Fist. If he could use this as leverage to perform the Divine Shift Tiger Step, he wondered if he could strike a punch while moving around, achieving a unity of body movement and fist technique?

As for the chatter of the two girls in front of him, to him it was no different from the koi fish blowing bubbles in the pond.

Besides, he's not a real six-year-old child, so there's no need for him to get angry with a group of little girls who are only eleven or twelve years old.

It would be good to use this time to practice the martial arts moves one more time, so that you would have a better chance of survival when you return to reality.

Seeing Lin Yuan's absent-minded expression, the smiles on Wang Yue and Zhao Ling'er's faces gradually faded.

In their eyes, the child was either too stupid to understand the deeper meaning of their words, or he was just pretending to be high-minded and didn't take them seriously at all.

Either way, it made them feel quite unhappy. After all, they were all famous and proud daughters of the sect, and they had never been ignored like this before.

"Junior Brother doesn't seem very interested in what we're saying?" Wang Yue's voice turned colder, carrying a hint of accusation.

Lin Yuan then turned his gaze away from the artificial hill, glanced at her, and calmly replied, "You two senior sisters are joking. It's just that I'm a dull person. I only care about reading and practicing martial arts, and I can't seem to muster any interest in anything else."

One sentence plunged the scene into an instant deathly silence.

Zhao Ling'er and Wang Yue's faces turned bright red. What did this brat mean? Did he mean that in his eyes, the two beautiful women were not as important as studying and practicing martial arts?

Heh, what are you pretending for! If he hadn't saved Zhao Ran, someone of his status wouldn't even have the right to speak to them.

"You!" Wang Yue stomped her foot in anger, about to explode.

Lin Yuan turned to Zhao Ran, who looked embarrassed, and cupped his hands, saying, "Senior Sister, we've toured the garden. It seems you two aren't very welcoming to your junior brother. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

He paused, then added, "I understand your intentions, senior sister, but for me, martial arts training is always the most important thing. I've climbed up from the bottom and deeply understand that weakness is the original sin in this world."

So, senior sister, becoming stronger is junior brother's pursuit; everything else is up to fate.

Lin Yuan's words relieved Zhao Ran's embarrassment. They not only made his own intentions clear, but also made Zhao Ran understand that he did not take the matter to heart, and that he did not need to be torn by the attitudes of her two friends.

Zhao Ran opened his mouth, looking into Lin Yuan's clear but calm eyes, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Her initial enthusiasm gradually faded away.

She suddenly remembered how weak and helpless she felt when she was hiding in the cave from her pursuers.

She had to admit that her newly recognized junior brother made a lot of sense. If she had been a little stronger back then, wouldn't her senior brother have survived while protecting her?

She finally understood that her junior brother was not a blockhead at all, but someone who saw things more clearly than anyone else.

The two women beside him looked surprised and suspicious upon hearing his words.

They didn't say those things for no reason.

The death of the eldest disciple of the Danyang lineage is no small matter in Qinghe Palace; countless people are eyeing the position of the Fifth Elder's next disciple.

They also had older and younger brothers in their family, and originally wanted to use their good relationship with Zhao Ran to send their family members to the Fifth Elder's tutelage.

But they never expected that it would be taken by a disciple from the servants' quarters, which made them furious.

But upon seeing them today, I realized that this six-year-old child was truly extraordinary.

Everyone knows the importance of strength and wisdom, but how many people can truly dedicate themselves solely to studying and practicing martial arts?

Those who can achieve this are often destined for great things.

After realizing this, both Wang Yue and Zhao Ling'er felt a pang of regret.

They've just gotten used to being flattered, and they're finding it hard to bow their heads right now.

"Okay... alright."

Zhao Ran nodded with difficulty, and finally could only pull Lin Yuan along, and hurriedly say goodbye in an awkward atmosphere.
