In the distance, white smoke rises from a long chimney. In an inconspicuous thatched hut, there is a pearwood bed carved with intricate patterns. Through the gauze curtains hanging beside the bed, one can see the graceful figure of a girl immersed in her sleep.

The cool breeze blew in from the window and hit Lin Qingqing's face, and she was awakened immediately. After waking up, she found herself in a strange place. She stared at the furnishings in the house with her big eyes until she heard a noise coming from outside the window.

"I have told you so many times not to bring back people of unknown origin from outside."

"Manager, please be flexible. This person is..."

"I don't care who it is, it's not possible. You can stay if you want to, but there's one more person for no reason. If something happens, I can't take the responsibility." Although the housekeeper's words were sharp, his intention was not to drink. While speaking, he deliberately gave her a look and made a gesture with his hand. He was blatantly asking for hush money!

The woman had no choice but to beg him, saying, "When my young master wakes up, I will definitely make up for it!"

The housekeeper impatiently picked at his ear holes and said, "I don't know how many times I've heard you say this. Can you say it another way? If you don't give it to me today, I will move you and your bed down the mountain!"

The woman felt helpless and could only quietly open her purse and take out 10 of the remaining 5 low-grade spirit stones and give them to the steward.

The steward stole a glance at her purse, then quickly adjusted his posture and said pretentiously, "Five more are needed."

"You! You only need 5 per person."

"Give it to you or not? If not, I'll drive you off the mountain." The manager was too lazy to waste words with her and threatened her again.

The woman said she had no choice but to give all the remaining spirit stones to the manager. After receiving the benefits, the manager walked away with a smug look on his face.

"You're a bully who only bullies the weak and fears the strong! When my master wakes up, I'll show you how I'll deal with you." The woman only dared to mutter behind the steward's back while wiping her tears, looking so pitiful.

Hearing the noise inside the house, the woman quickly wiped away her tears, pushed the door open, and asked with a smile: "Daoyou, are you awake?"

Lin Qingqing asked curiously: "Where is this?"

"Fellow Daoist, this is the Tianjian Sect." The woman replied weakly.

"What! How did I suddenly come to the Tianjian Sect?" Lin Qingqing was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. It really took no effort to get here.

"Don't get excited, my friend. The master just came and told you to rest."

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Qingqing realized that something was wrong with her body. "My head still hurts."

Lin Qingqing felt her mind was very confused at this time. Her memory was still in the human world. She tried hard to recall, but she could not remember how she came to the world of cultivation, how she came to the Tianjian Sect, and where the cultivator who came with her went.

With a lot of questions in her mind, Lin Qingqing looked at the woman in front of her in confusion.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't look at me like that. I don't know much about you either." The woman shook her head hurriedly.

"Then why am I here?" Lin Qingqing then pointed at the woman and asked her, "Who are you?"

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist. I will tell you everything."

It turned out that Lin Qingqing was indeed in the Tianjian Sect, and the woman in front of her was an outer disciple of the Tianjian Sect named Luluo.

As for why Lin Qingqing was here, it started when the person in charge asked Luluo and the others to patrol the periphery of the barrier. The sharp-eyed Luluo discovered Lin Qingqing lying not far from the Tianjian Sect's barrier. Afterwards, she reported the matter in time, but the supervisor told her not to meddle in other people's business.

Since Luoluo didn't have any extra spirit stones to treat the unconscious person, she was in a dilemma for a while.

Just as she was hesitating whether to rescue the stranger in front of her, the unconscious Lin Qingqing suddenly woke up, grabbed her trouser legs, said a few words to her, and then fainted again.

"Save me." These words echoed in her ears.

The kind-hearted Lu Luo had to carry Lin Qingqing back without telling anyone and found a doctor to treat her. Fortunately, she only had a head injury and it was not serious, so not many spirit stones were spent, otherwise Lu Luo would be helpless.

"So that's how it is. Who was that person outside just now?" Lin Qingqing asked again.

"He is the steward who manages the outer disciples of our Tianjian Sect."

"Did he just ask you for spiritual stones?"

The green radish nodded like a little chick pecking at rice.

"So it made you cry?" Lin Qingqing asked immediately.

Green ivy nodded, then shook her head and said, "It's not entirely because of this."

Lin Qingqing did not respond, but took out thirty low-grade spirit stones from the Qiankun bag at her waist and handed them to Luoluo.

At least Luluo did not take possession of her Qiankun bag just because she was unconscious, and she was kind enough to find someone to treat her illness. From this, we can see that the woman in front of us has a heart to lead the dragon and is worthy of dating.

"Thank you for saving me. Take these first. Although it's not much, it will last for a while."

Luoluo quickly declined, saying, "I can't take your spirit stones. Saving you is just a piece of cake and won't cost many spirit stones. Thirty low-grade spirit stones is too much."

"It's okay, just take it. I have to stay here for a while, so I might cause you trouble, and I still need your help. After deducting the medical expenses and the bribe, the rest will be considered as my accommodation fee here."

Luoluo felt a little shaken after listening to Lin Qingqing's well-reasoned words. Her purse was now empty, the young master had not yet woken up, and it was still a long way to the next salary payment. She really needed some spirit stones for daily expenses.

After hesitating for a moment, Luluo did not continue to refuse, and carefully accepted the spirit stone, saying: "Then fellow Daoist, you should cultivate yourself here these days. I have already given benefits to the steward, and he should not come to cause trouble again."

Lin Qingqing nodded, and then Luluo left the room so that Lin Qingqing could continue to rest.

After calming down, Lin Qingqing sorted out her thoughts. Although she had no memory of what happened on the way to the world of cultivation, she was pleasantly surprised that the mission target was actually within reach and completion of the mission was just around the corner.

Then she thought of something, and Lin Qingqing fumbled around in her body, taking out a contact origami from her sleeve. This was the prop that Elder Wuji had given them before they set out.

She spread out the origami and channeled spiritual energy into it, but she didn't know whether it was malfunctioning or broken, and there was no response when she contacted the origami.

"It's really strange, what on earth is going on?"

Before Lin Qingqing could finish her depression, there was a commotion outside the door again.
