[System] [Strong Female Lead] [Secret Realm Adventure] [Satisfying Revenge]
Transmigrating into the lowest-ranking medicine slave in Li Valley? I had just found half of the silver bracelet my master left behind when a nearly dead System exploded to life in my head.
"Warning! Energy is sustained by the Host's blood essence as the Medicine King. Forty-nine hours remain. The Bonefire of Li Valley will consume the last strand of your medicinal soul!"
Even worse, this lousy System's instructions are all deadly traps:
✘ "Touching a Sunwarm Flower can cure Bonefire poison" = It will suck you dry until you're a corpse (personally tested, and I nearly became flower fertilizer).
✘ "The scar-faced elder is an ally" = He's slipping a Heartdevouring Gu egg into your medicine pouch (I just pulled it from his sleeve).
As the Five Winds sweep across the ruins:
▪️ Wherever the Bonefire Wind passes, the bones of sacrificial victims crawl out, burning with blue flames as their chains scrape sparks from the stone.
▪️ When the Corrupting Poison Wind spreads, century-old medicinal herbs mutate into man-eating vines, their roots coiling around the withered bones of medicine slaves.
▪️ When the Blood Sacrifice Wind rises, blood seeping from the earth reveals visions of you being devoured by Gu insects.
"Want to live? Either feed Chu Mo's bloodline, the one that guards the ruins, to the Gu, or... become the new medicine cauldron and refine away the poisons of the Five Winds!" The resentful spirit of the valley master in the mirror laughed chillingly.
I crushed the poison cauldron and sneered. "System, reverse the refining process. Use poison. Let them stew in their own misery!"
