Transmigration! The System Wants Me to Pursue the Abstinent Senior Sister - Chapter 77

As dusk settled, the moon shone brightly amidst the sparse stars.

Luo Yunhuan descended the mountain. Outer sect disciples were not permitted to leave the mountain freely; only inner sect disciples had that privilege. Through relentless effort and the assistance of her system, she had now entered the inner sect, granting her the freedom to come and go from the sect as she pleased.

She still had a hidden mission to complete, and Luo Yunhuan hadn’t forgotten about it. She twirled the Jade Lotus Hairpin in her hand, sensing a faint trace of demonic energy flowing within it, though it wasn’t particularly strong.

Generally speaking, such a fine item would undoubtedly come from the best jewelry shop in the city. After making some inquiries, Luo Yunhuan easily found the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

Two osmanthus trees stood at the entrance of the pavilion.

The customers coming and going weren’t particularly numerous, but each one wore golden core-stage robes, exuding an air of wealth and extravagance.

Not wanting to be looked down upon by the shopkeeper, Luo Yunhuan deliberately wore her Blue Bamboo Dress, a blue-tier quality garment she had obtained from a system lottery draw.

With her head held high, she strode confidently into the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. After all, to convincingly play the part of a wealthy young master, one had to act boldly and self-assuredly to avoid arousing suspicion.

After browsing around, Luo Yunhuan noticed that the first floor only displayed cheaper goods. Although these items had been beyond the reach of the original owner of her body before she transmigrated.

The original owner had fallen so low as to be bullied by outer sect disciples, only able to collect ordinary gold, silver, and hairpins as decorations a testament to her pitiable state.

Luo Yunhuan felt a pang of sympathy.

But there was little she could do. After all, this was a world from a book, where everyone’s fate revolved around the female protagonist and the wings she could spread.

She went straight up to the third floor but still couldn’t find anything matching the quality of the Jade Lotus Hairpin in her hand. So, she turned her gaze to the attentive shopkeeper.

“Esteemed immortal, what might you be looking for?”

“I was wondering, shopkeeper, if you have anything more… unique in your store,” Luo Yunhuan replied softly, thinking to herself that Qin Yiqiu usually acted openly and honorably. With just a little observation, she should be able to figure out.

What other item her senior sister had seen here.

After all, Qin Yiqiu had made it quite clear.

“Ah, so you wish to see finer goods,” the shopkeeper said, accustomed to customers seeking more expensive items. He led her into an inner room, where everything in sight was of a quality comparable to the Jade Lotus Hairpin she held.

Yet, she still didn’t spot anything particularly special.

“Do you have anything else?” Luo Yunhuan pressed further, immediately noticing the shopkeeper giving her a strange look.

What’s with this guy?

Doesn’t he know the customer is always right?

Luo Yunhuan felt a slight confusion at the shopkeeper’s odd expression but wasn’t quite angry enough to lose her temper.

“Ahem. Shopkeeper, why are you looking at me like that?” Unwilling to let it slide, Luo Yunhuan voiced her question directly.

“I merely noticed that the young lady’s complexion is rosy, and your dantian is full. It seems you have practiced dual cultivation techniques, so you shouldn’t need these items.”

Luo Yunhuan: !

This guy’s perception is way too sharp!

He could actually tell what she’d been up to,

[Host, of course he can. Someone like you, who looks frail yet has such a rosy complexion, it’s obvious you haven’t experienced real combat training in the cultivation world. How else could you have reached the peak of Qi Refining without taking some shortcuts?]

The system provided an explanation to Luo Yunhuan’s bewilderment.

It wasn’t that the shopkeeper had sharp eyes.

Rather, this was common knowledge in the world of cultivation.

Immortality wasn’t necessarily achieved through diligent study and rigorous training. Some could take shortcuts, like becoming a corpse-liberated immortal, but ascending to the higher realms would only land them a job as a lowly sweeper.

Still, at least they secured eternal life.

With so many paths to immortality available, the legitimate routes were often too difficult, leading some to resort to unorthodox methods by any means necessary.

“What’s the matter, shopkeeper? Are you turning down business?”

Luo Yunhuan couldn’t be bothered to haggle with the shopkeeper and casually brushed him off. After all, she had plenty of spirit stones from her system rewards and was far from short on funds.

The shopkeeper, eager to make a sale, nodded repeatedly and pushed open a hidden wall panel. Before Luo Yunhuan could step inside, a system notification echoed in her mind.

[Congratulations, Host! You have completed the hidden mission related to your target’s secret!]

[We will now unlock the target’s past and present lives. Would you like to view it now?]

Luo Yunhuan:

“Stupid system, you have no sense of timing. Can’t you see I’m talking to the shopkeeper? I’ll check it out later.”

Although she already knew what embarrassing secret her senior martial sister had been hiding from her, Luo Yunhuan had no intention of leaving just yet.

That would be too much of a loss.

The system fell silent, offering only a faint hum of acknowledgment. It clearly hadn’t expected its host to venture further inside.

“Immortal Lady, we have cultivation manuals and dual cultivation treasures here. Which would you prefer?”

“We also have items tailored for men.”

Luo Yunhuan raised an eyebrow. It seemed she had misjudged the ancients, they were quite open-minded after all. But then again, this wasn’t exactly ancient times; it was the world of cultivation.

In a realm where lifetimes spanned tens of thousands of years, it was hardly surprising that such recreational items had been developed.

Compared to Qin Yiqiu, who had taken one glance, blushed faintly, and retreated in shy embarrassment, Luo Yunhuan was far bolder.

As a modern person, her ability to adapt was exceptional so much so that reading a book of this nature had transported her into its world.

She stepped forward lightly, scanning the items one by one.

It had to be said, the people of the cultivation world were quite creative.

Luo Yunhuan’s fingertips brushed against a bell as she broadened her horizons. Then, with a grand wave of her hand, she purchased all the books and items she liked or needed.

The shopkeeper was momentarily stunned, seemingly taken aback by the sheer quantity of her purchases.

But business was business, and he happily began packaging her selections. The items on display were merely samples; to collect her purchases, Luo Yunhuan would need to go to the first floor.

Still, this trip had been a fruitful one, and Luo Yunhuan was in high spirits.

[Host, with this many purchases, will your body be able to handle it?]

The system’s tone held a hint of concern. Although its shop offered stamina pills and the like, Luo Yunhuan was using a lottery system, not a point-exchange system.

So, she could either save up for the shop as she had before or rely on random draws.

“Of course, I’m not planning to use them all at once. Even with 9,999 health points, I wouldn’t dare be so reckless.”

Luo Yunhuan chatted with the system as she walked.

“I’m stocking up to use them gradually.”

Although her senior martial sister’s body was cold, her heart and chest were warm she wasn’t like some unfeeling block of ice.

Especially since Luo Yunhuan had noticed that the more time they spent together, the faster the affection points rose. It was always better to be prepared.

If the system issued her a punishment directive, she would have these items ready for emergencies.

If not, then she would take her time winning over the senior sister.

After all, if love between both can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?

After retrieving the items from the Treasure Pavilion, Luo Yunhuan remembered she still had three draws and the reward for unlocking the hidden mission yet to claim.

So far, she wasn’t short on money or other resources.

Therefore, she didn’t want to open any blind boxes. Although she had one less wish opportunity this time, she could still barely manage to exchange for a chance to directly redeem something from the system store.

Rather than using three draws to get some trivial items, it was better to save them up for a golden-tier item.

This time, Luo Yunhuan directly exchanged for a golden bell storage pouch.
