Morigin Year, 832.
Boom boom boom!
Pitter-patter!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, rain continuously dripped down from the eaves.
The water droplets smashed on the flagstone floor, shattering and splashing, like large and small pearls falling onto a jade plate, creating a crisp and pleasant sound.
Under the eaves, inside the room, lay a boy, not yet ten years old, pale-faced, lying on a simple wooden bed, wrapped in a white-washed blanket.
In a corner of the room, next to the stove, stood a frail girl, rising to her feet.
Arcs of lightning flickered, dim light from the dilapidated window spilled onto her, highlighting her petite stature of five feet three inches, fair skin, youthful face, slightly delicate, dressed in a set of grey linen clothes.
She could not afford to wipe the sweat from her forehead, and carefully poured the medicine brewed on the stove into a ready-made clay bowl, then hurriedly approached the bed.
"Xiaoyun, the medicine is ready, after drinking it, you'll recover quickly."
The girl gently blew on the spoonful of medicine, tremblingly brought it to the boy's mouth and softly spoke.
Just then, a streak of light swept across the sky, dazzling and brilliant, its fleeting beauty eclipsing the flashing lightning, turning the darkened sky as bright as day.
"Take your medicine, Ah Yun, take your medicine!"
The girl was anxious about the medicine not going down her brother's stomach and didn't notice a spiritual light flying into the room, entering the boy's forehead on the bed.
"Gulp..."
"Gulp..."
The boy's throat moved slightly as he swallowed the medicine, followed by the girl's surprised and excited voice in the room.
"Brother..."
Lu Yun only felt a piercing pain and numbness throughout his body, as if his entire body was being torn apart. Accompanying this indescribable pain, he gradually felt a jumble of information merging into his consciousness.
...
Spirit Creek Village.
Cloud Dream Mountain.
In a dilapidated room, Lu Yun slowly woke up.
Instantly, fragmented memories flooded his mind, unfamiliar yet familiar.
After a long while, as his memories slowly assimilated, Lu Yun felt a complex mix of emotions.
Excitement, exhilaration, concern, fear...
"Time travel has always been a legend; I never imagined it would happen to me."
Accepting what had occurred, Lu Yun quickly came to terms with the reality of his soul transmigration.
It was quite a coincidence that the person he had transmigrated into was also named Lu Yun.
According to the memories in his mind, this was a world of Martial Arts, with sect conflicts, aristocratic family struggles, state battles, and bandits roaming.
Even Demon Beasts occasionally unleashed rampages, causing chaos among humans.
The original body was an ordinary farm boy, weak in constitution. After a severe illness, his consciousness dissipated, replaced by Lu Yun!
"What a magical world..."
Lu Yun slowly got up, about to get out of bed, when the door suddenly 'creaked' open, revealing a frail figure in his sight.
"Xiaoyun..." Overwhelmed with emotion, the girl ran over and tightly hugged Lu Yun, eyes moist.
"Xiaoyun, you've finally awakened. If you hadn't, I wouldn't know what to do."
"Sis…" Lu Yun murmured softly, feeling the trembling excitement of the girl's body as well as the most genuine emotions that came from deep within her heart.
He knew that from now on, he had to bear all the consequences and causes of this body.
"Sister, lighten up; I can hardly breathe." Soon, Lu Yun realized something was off. In her excitement, Lu Yu hugged him tighter and tighter, almost suffocating him.
This body was already frail, having just recovered from a severe illness, and naturally couldn't withstand much, making Lu Yun snap out of his deep thoughts.
"Ah, it's all my fault, I got too excited. Are you alright, Ah Yun?"
After Lu Yu let go of Lu Yun, she saw his pale face and hurried breathing, and said with concern.
"It's okay, I just need some rest, don't worry about me," Lu Yun explained.
"It's all mine and Eldest brother's fault for not taking good care of you." Lu Yu got up, opened the window, and sunlight poured in, instantly brightening the entire room.
Bathed in the warm light, Lu Yun's body also felt warmly enwrapped.
"My body has always been this way. Over the years, it's all due to Eldest brother and your efforts and care that I have managed to hold on. I'm already very satisfied with the way things are now," Lu Yun reassured her with a smile.
Ten years ago, a minor Demon Beast surge affected Cloud Water County and the surrounding counties, and Spirit Creek Village was also heavily hit.
Lu Yun's father, a member of the village hunting team, died tragically under the hooves of the Demon Beasts.
Lu Yun's pregnant mother suffered a shock during the chaos, injured drastically, and after giving premature birth to Lu Yun, she passed away.
Because of the shock during pregnancy, Lu Yun was born deficient and had been frail and sickly ever since.
Sister Lu Yu, only about four or five years old at that time,
and Eldest brother Lu He, not even eight, had to become the main support of the family.
Despite Eldest brother and Sister deeply loving Lu Yun, saving the best of everything for him, they could not help his inherent deficiencies and his frail body.
It can be said that it was very fortunate for Lu Yun to have survived to the age of ten.
"Sister, where's Eldest brother? Why haven't I seen him?" Lu Yun suddenly asked.
"Eldest brother has gone to participate in the Hunting Team's assessment. If he passes, he can become a member of the Hunting Team, and then our family's life will improve," Lu Yu said, her face relaxing with a trace of relief as she anticipated a better life ahead.
The little brother awakened, the Eldest brother joining the Hunting Team, everything seemed to start moving in a positive direction.
"The Hunting Team?" Lu Yun's face showed anticipation.
The Hunting Team, the protective force of Spirit Creek Village, included powerful Martial Artists in its ranks.
They possessed the greatest strength and enjoyed the best treatments.
Unfortunately, all this had nothing to do with Lu Yun.
Being inherently deficient and physically weak, the difficulty for him to become a Martial Artist was more than ten times that of an ordinary person.
"Having transmigrated into such a world of Martial Arts, am I, Lu Yun, still destined to be an insignificant and mediocre person?"
A wave of melancholy couldn't help but rise in Lu Yun's heart.
"Xiaoyun, this is a soup made from Blood Ginseng, which should help your recovery," Lu Yu poured the medley simmering on the stove into a bowl and handed it over.
Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, but eventually took it with both hands.
He had often drunk this Blood Ginseng soup before, but its effects were just moderate, barely sustaining his life rather than curing the root cause.
To reduce the burden on his family, he had started refusing to take it a year ago.
Now with a new soul, Lu Yun naturally wouldn't refuse.
Reborn in this life, he didn't want to miss any sliver of hope.
After drinking the soup, suddenly a flash of light crossed Lu Yun's vision, and a screen appeared before his eyes.
