Book I Chapter 14
…
In the Outer Sect, the dream of almost all of the Outer Sect disciples is to be able to break through and reach the Dantian Condensing stage and enter the Inner Sect.
That way, they can be considered as one of the elites of the sect.
But that dream is very long for some of the Outer Sect disciples, and for some, it is an impossibility because of their lack of talent in cultivation.
Though the Outer Sect provides free Spirit Qi pills for their cultivation, it is not an assurance that they can reach the Dantian Condensing stage.
Those that can reach this realm can already use flying swords or flying objects to fly in the sky.
And this is the envy of most of the Outer Sect disciples.
So, how could they not feel hopeful when they hear the news that someone is able to make one breakthrough without using pills?
This kind of news is sensational and it began to be a hushed rumor in the Outer Sect.
It has been a week since Hyuna worked in the library as a scribe. Her job is something that she did not have to do every day. She would just need to report to the library 2 times a week.
And in the 2 times that she entered the Inner Sect Library, she did not learn anything.
However, she still has that recollection that she discovered something awesome inside but she is unable to remember it.
And so, one night, she began searching her memory for the kind of spell rune she can put on her body so that she can have her mind protected.
After thinking for hours, she still could not find anything.
For now, what she can learn from the text that appears in her mind are the basics of the four element spells and their combinations.
If one is able to successfully combine the spells, then one can form a new spell that could consolidate the use of the four elements.
But no matter what kind of combination she could think of, it would still emit Qi control which she knew could trigger the trap inside the library.
As for now, she did not want to get caught in such a situation, so she just shakes it off and sleep.
The next day, as per her routine, she began to exercise and then practice martial arts on the training ground.
Today, she saw two Outer Sect disciples duking it out with each other as the two seem to have some misunderstanding between them.
The two fought with all their might, but Hyuna thought that their battle is a bit boring. She can tell that the two are all forms and power but no finesse.
If they encountered someone who is good with techniques, then they would not stand a chance against that person.
"Who do you think will win?" suddenly the voice of Il Kwan appears behind her.
"I don't know… I think the two of them have the same strength…" she said matter-of-factly.
"Heh… You sounded like a real expert now do you… Why, have you learned some powerful skill inside the Inner Sect library?" Il Kwan teases.
Who would have known that his words would be heard by almost all of the disciples in the area and their attention would be glued to the two?
Even the two fighters stopped and look at Hyuna and Il Kwan.
"Senior Kwan… You and your mouth are really something else…" Hyuna said as she suddenly stands up and then quickly ran.
Who would have known that the Outer Sect disciple would have crafty glints in their eyes as they quickly chase after her?
"Little Junior brother Ji… I think we can talk about this, right?" someone called as he chases after Hyuna.
But then, they suddenly noticed that her speed is not something they can look down on.
In just a few seconds, she actually lost them.
"What the hell… how could he? No way… Did he really learn something from the library? Is this skill some kind of escaping technique?" someone suddenly said as if receiving enlightenment.
His words were like strong waves immediately spreading through all of the disciples chasing after Hyuna.
They all suddenly have that fervor feeling to catch him and wanted to force him to teach them what he has learned from inside the Inner Sect library.
As more and more disciples learned about this, more of them began to search for Hyuna in the Outer Sect.
Unknown to them, Hyuna at this time has sneaked past the rowdy crowd and entered a courtyard.
The courtyard looks really beautiful and the plants and decorations seemed to be placed weirdly.
As she steps inside while looking around, she suddenly felt the entire courtyard changing.
When this happens, Hyuna knew that she has fallen into a strange formation.
As she looks around, Hyuna did not panic, but instead, she takes out a small carving knife and then picks an ordinary stone from the ground, and began carving something on the stone.
She did not move from her spot as she knew that it would be more dangerous if she misstep and accidentally trigger more of the formation around her.
After a while, she blew on the carving and then clenches the stone in her hand tightly.
Upon doing so, her vision slowly clears up and she can now see everything like they are all frameworks made of Qi energy.
With this vision, she is now able to study the formation and determine how to get out of the area easily.
She took two steps back, then two steps to the right, and then one step forward…, she began following a pattern until she was able to stand on the spot where she was before entering the formation.
She heaved a sigh of relief and hide the stone in her pocket. Then she suddenly picks up some footsteps from the entrance of the courtyard.
Hyuna quickly hid in the corner and slowly peeks out.
She saw two young female disciples wearing Inner Sect clothes.
Hyuna was confused as she knew that she is in the Outer Sect, but how could she have entered the Inner Sect?
She observed the two female disciples and found that they look really beautiful.
One of them is someone she can consider to be the most beautiful female disciple she has seen in the sect.
She has a perfectly shaped nose, small almond shapes eyes that show coldness and warmth at the same time, and small pink lips that glitter in the sun.
The way she carries her gown is a bit refined and the way she walked made it look like the ground she is stepping on are clouds in the sky.
"What a beauty…" she suddenly heard a voice coming from above.
When she looks up, she could see a foot dangling from the roof.
She shifted her position and looks at the person on the roof.
The young man looks handsome and refines, but there is a hint of playfulness in his eyes as she leisurely lies at the top of the roof.
The man seems to be watching the two women as his chin rested on one of his hands.
"Sigh… I wish I could talk to Senior Sister Bin Yihwa…" he muttered while daydreaming of his dream girl.
"Then talk to her…" Hyuna suddenly said.
The guy nodded his head but then his eyes bulges as she slowly looks below him.
There he saw Hyuna which stunned him for a moment.
Because of the sun's rays, Hyuna's face lit up and her petite figure was illuminated.
The guy was a bit stunned after seeing her beauty. He could even imagine that there is a gust of air blowing making her robe flow like water.
"Wow… What a beauty…" he muttered.
Hearing the man's words, Hyuna frowned and squinted while looking at the handsome man in annoyance.
"What beauty? I am a guy… Senior... sir." She said sarcastically.
The man was taken aback and rubbed his two eyes in disbelief.
When he clearly saw her male body, the expression the man was disbelief.
Then suddenly he seemed to have recalled something.
"Ah! You… you are that… that new scribe that everyone is talking about!" he suddenly said while pointing his fingers at Hyuna.
His voice was a bit loud so some of the people noticed that someone is in the vicinity.
"Who are you people?!" suddenly an icy voice interrupted the two as a beautiful figure floated in the air toward them.
"Se… Senior Bin…" the man stammered as he shakily stood up from the roof.
Suddenly, his feet slipped and he falls down to the ground.
Hyuna saw this and she quickly sidestepped making him fall flat on the ground.
The man's hands twitch as he lies prone.
"I am Wu Jin… And I… I don't know where I am…" Hyuna introduces as she cupped her hands to greet the woman standing atop the roof of the building facing them.
She frowned and then jumps down.
As she walked closer her frown deepens further.
"You are a mortal? Hmm… Are you the new scribe?" she suddenly asked.
Hyuna nodded her head.
A slight smile appears on the beautiful senior sister named Bin Yihwa.
"I see… If junior doesn't mind… can I invite you for a cup of tea…" she suddenly invited.
Hyuna was a bit taken aback as she blinks her eyes at the woman.
She suddenly noticed a few female disciples peeking from the corner and suddenly realized that in this courtyard, there are only female disciples.
She suddenly recalled one of her auntie's warnings.
"Is this… Is this the… Spirit Swan Pond area?" she asked with a hint of hesitation in her tone.
Bin Yihwa did not turn back and just continue walking while turning her head to the side.
A slight teasing smile appears on her face before saying.
"Come on… don't be shy… I won't bite."
