Dr. Xiao, a renowned medical professional of the 21st century, was deeply committed to her work and on the verge of unveiling a groundbreaking medicine capable of augmenting human strength threefold. Unfortunately, her aspirations were tragically cut short when she perished in a plane crash caused by engine failure.

Xiao: (experiencing slight head pain) Where am I? I distinctly recall dying in that plane crash.
System: Greetings, host.
[A white, adorable rabbit materializes.]
Xiao: (taken aback) Who... Who are you? How is it possible for an animal to speak?
System: Host, I am your guide in this new realm. You may refer to me as the system. Since you perished in the real world, you have been transported to this alternate reality.
Xiao: Can I return to my original world?
System: Certainly, host. You can be transferred back to your body, which currently remains in a vegetative state at the hospital. However, you must first fulfill the mission assigned by the system.
Xiao: A mission?
System: Yes, host. You must accomplish two missions within this world. Only then will you have the option to remain here or depart.
Xiao: I see. Could you enlighten me as to my whereabouts?
System: Host, allow me to introduce you to this world.
This realm revolves around the concept of cultivation, featuring six realms of advancement, each comprising nine stages:
Divine Realm (highest)
^
Spiritual Realm
^
Saint Realm
^
Golden Realm
^
Earth Realm
^
Qi Realm (lowest)
Within this continent, four major forces exist:
Shi Family (the royal family)
Tian Family
Chang Family
Li Family
Your family, the Changs, consists of five members, including yourself:
You (Xiao Chang): Qi Realm (level 7)
Your brother (Chang Wan): Golden Realm (level 2)
Your father: Saint Realm (level unknown)
Your grandfather: Spiritual Realm (level 6)
Butler: Spiritual Realm (level 8)
Your current age: 15
Your brother's current age: 17
System: Your mother succumbed to poisoning, making it your primary mission to unveil the culprit and bring them to justice. Additionally, a secondary quest entails participating in a competition held five years from now, vying for the inheritance of Alchemist Wieyun.
Xiao: System, why is my cultivation level so low?
System: You were also subjected to poisoning, rendering you unable to progress beyond the 7th level of the Qi Realm at the tender age of 10, coinciding with your mother's demise.
Xiao: System, is it possible for you to eliminate the poison from my body?
System: As per the host's request, the poison shall be neutralized within five minutes.
[After five minutes, the poison is eradicated, and Xiao reaches the first level of the Earth Realm.]
System: Host, you have received a gift pack.
Xiao: Please show me.
[Xiao activates the gift pack.]
System: Congratulations! You have acquired a fine of Saint level, a fire of Spiritual level, an alchemy book, and a clue pertaining to the culprit.
Xiao: Let me see the clue first.
System: The clue is a jade pendant featuring the letter "T" engraved on it, suggesting the involvement of someone from the Tian Family.
Xiao: "T" signifies a member of the Tian Family. System, how many females are there in the Tian Family?
System: Host, the Tian Family comprises three females: the mother, who is at the Saint Realm (level 8), and two daughters. Tian Kai possesses a Golden Realm cultivation at level 1, while Tian Zang possesses a Golden Realm cultivation at level 3.
Xiao: Ah, this means the culprit must be one of these three individuals from the Tian Family.
System: Indeed, host.
Xiao: System, please transfer the data from the alchemy book into my mind and provide me with the Saint level fire.
System: As per your request, host.
[Data is transferred to Xiao's mind, and she receives the Saint level fire. Her cultivation advances to level 5 of the Earth Realm.]
Xiao: System, which level of pills can I now refine?
System: Host, with your current progress, you can refine low-level Saint pills for healing purposes and Xuna pills, which are level-increasing pills.
Pills are categorized into three levels:
Supreme level
^
Middle level
^
Low level
Xiao: Understood.
[Xiao leaves her room to explore her surroundings.]
Xiao: Oh, how beautiful! There is a wide variety of flowers here.
Brother: Xiao, you've finally emerged from your room. I know it was sudden, but it has been five years since Mother's passing. You shouldn't confine yourself to your room.
Grandfather: Indeed, Xiao, you're a good girl.
Xiao: Okay, Brother and Grandpa.
Brother: That's my good girl.
Xiao: Brother, I would like to purchase some herbs for pill refinement. Where can I find them?
Brother: Xiao, do you possess the knowledge of pill refinement?
Xiao: Yes, Brother. I dedicated these past five years to learning the art of pill refinement.
Grandfather: Ho ho, that's my girl. Xiao, where did you learn the craft of pill refinement?
Xiao: Grandpa, every night in my dreams, my ancestors appeared and imparted their knowledge of pill refinement to me.
Grandfather: Excellent. What level of pills are you capable of creating now?
Xiao: Grandpa, I can create low-level Saint healing pills and Xuna pills.
Grandfather: Hahaha, it seems the rest of the populace struggles to secure the services of pill refiners, but we have a Saint-level one in our family. Hahaha...
Brother: Xiao, only two individuals from the royal family and the head of the alchemy association possess the ability to create pills of that level. Are you certain of your skills?
Xiao: Yes, Brother, I am confident in my abilities.
Brother: Very well, then come with me. We will gather the required herbs and you can create a pill.
Xiao: Okay, Brother.
[Xiao visits a shop, purchases the necessary herbs and a furnace, and returns home. She successfully creates a low-level Saint healing pill.]
Grandfather: Hahaha, I knew you could do it. However, you must keep it a secret and not allow others to discover your talent.
Xiao: Understood, Grandpa.
[Xiao continues to refine healing and Xuna pills, selling them anonymously at the auction hall. She also continues her cultivation alongside her pill refinement.]
[After four years, Xiao achieves the Saint Realm at level 8 and becomes capable of creating low-level spiritual pills.]
Xiao: Grandpa, Brother, I have reached the point where I can create low-level spiritual pills.
Butler: Young Miss, you have received an invitation from the Tian Family. They wish to celebrate their Young Master's victory in the scholar's test and have requested your presence.
Xiao: From the Tian Family? Certainly, I will attend.
[Xiao sees this as an opportunity to investigate her mother's killer and accepts the invitation.]
Tian Zang: Hello, Xiao. How have you been?
Xiao: I am doing well. And yourself?
Tian Zang: I am also well.
Tian Kai: Xiao, what level is your cultivation? Mine is level 6 of the Saint Realm, and my sister's cultivation is at level 5 of the Saint Realm.
Grandfather: Ah, proudly, whose granddaughter she is—mine.
Xiao: Grandpa, I wish to participate in the Alchemist Wieyun's inheritance competition, which will take place in one year.
Brother: No, you cannot go. It is extremely dangerous.
Xiao: Brother, I have confidence in myself. I believe I can emerge victorious. Besides, I have also honed my martial arts skills and can now perform techniques such as the Fireball Technique, Lion Roar Technique, and Trigonal Punch Technique.
Brother: But...
Grandfather: Xiao, if you have confidence in your abilities, then you may participate.
Xiao: Thank you, Grandpa.
Butler: Young Miss, you have received an invitation from the Tian Family. They wish to celebrate their Young Master's victory in the scholar's test and have requested your presence.
Xiao: From the Tian Family? Certainly, I will attend.
[Xiao sees this as a good opportunity to investigate her mother's killer and accepts the invitation.]
Tian Zang: Hello, Xiao. How have you been?
Xiao: I am doing well. And yourself?
Tian Zang: I am also well.
Tian Kai: Xiao, what is your cultivation level? Mine is at level 6 of the Saint Realm, and my sister's is at level 5 of the Saint Realm.
Tian Zang: Sister, why are you asking her? How can she cultivate after her mother's death? She must still be at the Qi Realm.
Tian Kai: Haha, yes, sister.
Xiao: (Thinking: They want to humiliate me. Well, they will have to wait and see.)
Xiao: Indeed, my Saint Realm cultivation at level 8 may not be sufficient. Your cultivation level might be higher than mine.
[Tian Zang and Tian Kai walk away in anger.]
[After a few hours]
Tian Zang's Father: Ladies and gentlemen, today, if any of you can recite five poems in five minutes, this ginger, which is over 1000 years old, will belong to that person.
Tian Zang: Father, Xiao told me that she can recite six poems in five minutes.
Tian Zang's Father: Ho ho, is that true, Xiao? Please step forward and recite six poems in five minutes.
[Tian Zang wanted to humiliate Xiao. Xiao sought help from the system.]
Xiao: Alright, uncle, I will begin now.
1) Moonlight reflects off the front of my bed,
Could it actually be the frost on the ground?
I look up to view the bright moon,
And look down to reminisce about my hometown.
2) In the fleeting journey of life, we seldom seek material pleasures,
How can we value gold over genuine laughter?
I raise my wine cup, urging the slanting sun to linger,
As it bids farewell among the flowers.
3) On this very day last year, behind these doors,
A beautiful face and peach blossoms were aglow.
The one I admired has departed, whereabouts unknown,
Yet the peach blossoms still smile in the breeze.
4) At noon, farmers toil, weeding the fields,
Their sweat saturates the earth swiftly.
Who knows the value of a meal on a tray,
All thanks to their toiling day.
5) The colors of spring fill the garden, impossible to contain,
As a single spray of red apricot blossoms peeks through the wall.
6) Cherishing its own heart and refusing to bloom casually,
Let the peach and plum flowers unveil in the spring breeze.
[Xiao successfully recites all six poems within the given five minutes.]
