The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

While Bai Jinxuan was lost in thought, the door clicked open.

What greeted me was Yao's mother's smile.

"Xiaoxuan is here! Come and sit down, the food is just ready."

She took Bai Jinxuan's hand and led her to the neatly set dining table. On the other side, Yao's father was already in his seat, giving her a gratified smile.

"Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Xiaoxuan and Yaoyao have grown up so much."

These words immediately stirred up Bai Jinxuan's memories.

When I was first reincarnated here, my parents and Yao's parents had known each other for a long time. They were all miners in the underground city, but my parents seemed to be foremen, possessing Tier 3 physical attributes, which allowed them to mine on the fifth floor.

Yao's parents are at level 2. I heard from them that although they can go to the fifth level, they can only help process the scraps that have already been dug up, and they don't have the ability to process the ores directly.

Therefore, they usually mine on the fourth level, which is why they are not as severely affected by corruption as their parents.

The ores mined by miners in the dungeon are usually raw magic crystals, which are ores containing immense magical power and are the energy source for all magical items, such as magic pens, levitation vehicles, and even the entire upper city is floating on the power of magic crystals.

However, mining magic crystals is not an easy task.

Magic crystals are condensed magic power, extremely hard, and possess magic resistance, so they must be mined using physical means.

During this process, many miners lost their lives because their bodies could not tolerate the high concentration of magic power they were exposed to for a long time. Their internal organs turned into low-concentration magic crystals.

In addition, long-term exposure to magical environments can cause human mutations. Mild cases may result in changes in hair color, eye color, or physical development, or even shrinkage. Severe cases may lead to deformities.

These are all things that Yao's parents experienced firsthand. Their hair was originally as black and beautiful as Yao's, but after mining underground for several years, it became like it had been highlighted with red and blue hues. Even if they cut it off, the new hair that grew back would still be this mixed color.

Thanks to them, whenever the topic of the dungeon comes up, they react extremely strongly, as if they have PTSD. This is why Bai Jinxuan would never dare to tell them that she works in the dungeon.

Lost in thought, Bai Jinxuan subconsciously rubbed a small tuft of silver hair near her ear.

Unlike Yao Yao's beautiful black hair, Bai Jinxuan's silver hair is actually silver with white streaks. It's hard to say whether it's lucky or unlucky, but she inherited her parents' full head of white hair, and even her eyebrows are silver-white.

Seeing the silver-haired girl sitting there silently, lost in thought, Yao's parents exchanged a worried glance.

"Xiaoxuan, what's wrong? Don't you have an appetite?"

Bai Jinxuan came to her senses and realized that Yao's parents were looking at her. Feeling a little embarrassed, she quickly waved her hands.

"No, no, it's just... it reminded me of things from the past..."

before?

Yao's mother suddenly remembered that rainy night.

After being attacked by monsters and losing her parents, eight-year-old Bai Jinxuan personally completed the inheritance procedures and went to sleep alone in the empty house.

As her parents' best friend for many years, there was nothing she could do.

We should have picked her up that day; that way, she wouldn't be thinking about being alone all the time...

The woman, nearing menopause, had tears welling in her eyes, forcing herself not to cry out loud.

Noticing that something was wrong with his wife, Yao's father quickly patted her back and pulled her into his arms.

"It's all in the past. Yao Yao and Xiao Xuan are both capable children now. It's alright."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinxuan immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing. Talking to them about this was like bringing up a sore spot.

So she quickly changed the subject.

"Has Yao Yao already moved into No. 2 Middle School?"

"Yes, she just sent me a video, the environment there is amazing."

Yao's mother wiped her eyes, took out her phone, and played the video for Bai Jinxuan.

Murong Yao was dressed in a finely made black uniform with a skirt that reached her knees, and she had even changed her shoes to small leather shoes, giving her the air of a young lady from a wealthy family.

Compared to this, the uniform of No. 5 Middle School is a clumsy imitation. No wonder some people on the Internet think that the uniform of No. 5 Middle School has a red-light district vibe. Compared with No. 2 Middle School, it really is that garish thing.

In the video, Yao Yao is tidying up her room, which is bigger than the entire Murong family's house. Just like the intelligence report said, the dormitory at No. 2 Middle School is a private single room, and each student's room has a private bathroom and shower. It's practically a small villa.

"That's great. Yao Yao will definitely achieve even greater success at No. 2 Middle School."

Bai Jinxuan couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing that she didn't talk about herself, Yao's father encouraged her, "Xiaoxuan, don't be discouraged. No matter what, you are still a student in Class 1. Keep working hard and you will definitely get into a good university."

"Yes, it definitely will."

She nodded, her eyes full of confidence.

------------

After having dinner at the Murong family's house, the sky gradually darkened.

Normally, Bai Jinxuan would go to the black market or the underground city to earn some money during this time, but today, she gave up on that idea.

Because she had something more important to do than making money.

In the bathroom, Bai Jinxuan looked at her fair wrist, gritted her teeth, and used a knife to make a small cut.

Crimson blood flowed from his elbow, painting several vibrant red flowers on the white floor tiles—intense and beautiful.

Without hesitation, she immediately put down the knife, then with a "pop," pushed open the stopper of the life potion and poured the deep red, icy liquid inside onto the wound.

One second, two seconds, three seconds... until the entire bottle of medicine was poured out, Bai Jinxuan did not feel any sensation other than coldness and pain.

After rinsing it with water, sure enough, the wound did not heal.

Then, I put my hand into the small basin used to catch the medicine and soaked it. When I took it out, the bleeding had stopped, but the wound still hadn't healed.

Bai Jinxuan took a deep breath, pressed her forehead against the mirror, and closed her eyes.

She roughly understood her situation.

Volume 1: Chapter 14: The Unaffected Girl

Late at night, Bai Jinxuan, dressed in her pajamas, sat by the window, staring blankly at the vast city in the sky.

After trying various medications and their different methods of use, she came to a conclusion.

He himself has almost 100% drug resistance.

Whether taken orally or applied topically, all medicines are just water to her, even the original slime. She made it herself, so it's truly authentic.

This might be a good thing, because some potions have negative effects, such as curses, toxin accumulation, transformation, etc. After ordinary people drink them, some side effects will accompany them for the rest of their lives, making them extremely cruel instruments of torture.

Bai Jinxuan's immunity potion means she doesn't have to worry about some bad guy splashing a sheep-turning potion on her, turning her into a weak and helpless lamb, and then selling her to some place to mine illegal minerals.

On the other hand, this is also a bad thing, and a very obvious and visibly bad thing.

She had no way to enhance her studies through medication.

In contrast to this bad thing, the Fifth Sect and the Second Sect have a tradition of having all members drink medicine.

She was only a first-year high school student, and had only been enrolled for a few months. The difference in skill level from taking medicine to cultivate had not yet been fully demonstrated, and she was still able to maintain her position in the lower-middle level of Class 1.

But after a while, let alone a year, even just three months, these students who are desperately drinking medicine to cultivate will be able to raise their strength to a terrifying level.

By then, without the ability to take the medicine, I will absolutely be no match for them.

Not to mention his remarkable progress in the joint entrance exam, which led him to join Yao Yao at No. 2 Middle School...

"Is buying it the only option? But that would cost a full million, and even if I bought into No. 2 Middle School, I wouldn't get anything in return."

Bai Jinxuan clenched her fists. The cultivation resources of the Second Sect were all prepared for cultivation. She couldn't even drink medicine, which meant that most of the resources were less useful to her than a few candies.

In this situation, even if one enters the second sect, one can only be a menial disciple of the outer sect. Not only will one not be able to access the inner sect's techniques, but one may also have to work like a slave for the sect.

As for copyright collaborations, merchandise, and advertising... don't even think about it. Those are reserved for the elites of the sects. At best, she'd have to pay to become a menial servant. How dare she even talk about collaborations?

"Drip-drop~"

The phone rang and lit up. Bai Jinxuan subconsciously picked up the phone and saw a new message on the screen.

Apart from

Yao Yao couldn't imagine who else would message her besides her parents; they usually just called her directly.

After pressing the start button and seeing the message, Bai Jinxuan smiled faintly.

It was indeed news about Yao Yao.

[Murong Yao: Xiao Xuan, you have no idea how big No. 2 High School is! Even the dorms here have elevators! And they're super high-speed elevators! I never imagined magic could be used like this!]

[Murong Yao: Also, the Second Middle School even has a commercial street and an entertainment area; it's practically a small city. The school even rented me a hovercar. Without it, I wouldn't have made it to class on foot.]

[Murong Yao: The floating car is amazing! It even drives itself. I don't need to look at a map to get to class; I can just select my destination from inside the floating car!]

[Murong Yao: Her brand new little ride.jpg]

[Murong Yao: Isn't it beautiful?]

After carefully examining the pictures sent by the other party, Bai Jinxuan lay on the bed with a smile on her face, then turned to her side, hugging the rabbit doll with both hands, and rapidly tapping her fingers on the screen.

Bai Jinxuan: It looks great!

[Bai Jinxuan: It's just a bit too expensive. Be careful not to break it accidentally, or you'll have to pay for it.]

[Bai Jinxuan: Doge.jpg]

[Murong Yao: Perfunctory, and a jinx! Xiao Xuan, you big idiot!]

[Murong Yao: I'm ignoring you! I'm going to take a shower!]

[Murong Yao: The girl angrily storms out of the door.jpg]

[Bai Jinxuan: Sleeping peacefully.jpg]

After sending the emoji, Bai Jinxuan turned off her phone, tossed it next to her pillow, and then pulled the blanket over herself.

Yao Yao seems to have already adapted to life there. She's truly worthy of being called Yao Yao. Even at No. 2 Middle School, she'll definitely shine.

With this thought in mind, Bai Jinxuan unconsciously stretched out her left hand from under the covers and hovered it in mid-air.

By the moonlight, she could clearly see the white bandage on her wrist.

Actually, the wound should be fully healed by tomorrow. I'm wearing a bandage because I don't want my teachers and classmates to see it.

At No. 5 Middle School, attending class while injured is something only the poorest students would do. If discovered, they would be immediately put on the elimination list. After all, in this torrent where everyone is striving to improve, a person who falls behind will be eliminated sooner or later.

"This is a problem. There's still a month until the next joint exam. If I don't find a way to improve my grades, I won't be able to get into any school, not even No. 5 Middle School."

"But I'm not affected by the potion, so I can only grit my teeth and study as usual... Is this really enough to achieve good results in the sect competition? Yao Yao's grades are among the top five in the grade, even in No. 2 Middle School."

Bai Jinxuan felt somewhat unwilling. She stretched out her other hand, palm facing herself, and clenched it into a fist.

"Yaoyao said she believed in me and that I shouldn't give up. I need to think carefully about what else, besides taking medicine, can improve my grades..."

Magical mechanics... Dungeons... Underworld cities... Deadly raids outside...

Many images flashed through her mind, but suddenly she noticed one of them and quickly snapped back to reality.

In Class 1, there was actually someone who had a similar experience to her.

That was the boy who was still working out hard during the exam. It is said that he used to be a girl and was considered the worst student in the liberal arts class of Class 7. In order to get into university, he was willing to push himself to the limit and work out hard.

Magic is a brain-intensive subject, while martial arts can be learned even by an idiot.

"Why don't I give it a try and learn martial arts?"

Thinking of this, Bai Jinxuan, who was lying on the bed, narrowed her eyes, suddenly threw off the quilt, slipped her little feet into cotton slippers, and ran to the window to open it.

Fresh air gently wafted by, and the bright moonlight spilled across the earth.

A light shone in her eyes.

"That's right, why don't I learn martial arts! I'm bad at both anyway. Compared to magic, martial arts has auxiliary devices to enhance training, so it doesn't matter if I don't take medicine!"

"Speaking of which, why did I start learning magic in the first place? I think it was because Yao Yao was learning it, and I thought it looked easy, so I started learning it too... Oh dear! Maybe I'm a martial arts genius whose talents have been wasted!"

Bai Jinxuan slapped her thigh, quickly closed the window, drew the curtains, unbuttoned her pajamas, threw them onto the bed, and took out her three-piece bedding set from the small square box on her chest.

If I can make money and improve my physical fitness, why would I need to drink any medicine? I'll just go underground and practice demonic arts!

Volume 1: Chapter 15: The Girl Who Trains Her Body

"Damn it, did you sell the rare item I stuck in the ground?!"

On the first underground level, in an undeveloped area, Zhou Kai, who had been starving all day, was grabbed by the collar and struggled to breathe. He could only stare at the burly man in front of him, daring not to speak out in anger.
