At noon, Lillian and her friends sat together in the school cafeteria. Jill scrolled through her phone, chuckling as she read aloud. “This new girl Eda really does seem like a talented one. Lillian, looks like you’ve finally met a rival p>
Lillian nibbled delicately on a rib, chewing slowly befor nodding in satisfaction. “Mm, she is talented. I already got a glimpse of it this morning p>
Natalie, still busy with her food, snorted. “Jill, that’s because you didn’t see her act. That woman had this saintly look, like she was the only kind-hearted, magnanimous person in the world and everyone else was petty and small-minded. You should’ve seen it-Lillian ut her down so hard she couldn’t get a single word
out p>
Jill laughed at the two of them. “Well, whatever happened, it’s already all over the school. They’re saying you argued with Eda over who gets to be the school belle p>
Natalie nearly dropped her chopsticks, her eyes widening. “What? People are actually saying that? That’s not even close to the truth p>
She was about to rant further, but Lillian raised a hand to stop her. “Enough. Rumors can take a hundred different forms depending on who’s telling them. Let it go. Don’t waste energy on it. Let’s talk about something else. This topic ends here p>
Jill nodded. “You’re right. Anyway, the school festival’s coming up soon. Do you guys have performances p>
“Of course! With how good I am at dancing, I’ve got to be on stage,” Natalie said proudly, tossing her head back with a smirk.
Lillian smiled. “True. You really are good at dancing. It’d be a shame if you didn’t join p>
Natalie beamed even more. “See? I’m a talented girl too!
Jill looked at Natalie’s smug face and sighed helplessly before turning to Lillian. “What about you, Lillian? Are you joining? I know you’ve got hidden skills p>
“I’m not. I don’t have the time,” Lillian replied simply.
She still had too much to handle. The company matters were mostly under control, but since returning from overseas, her cultivation had stalled. If she wanted to reach the ninth level soon, she had to focus.
Jill wasn’t surprised and nodded knowingly. “I figured. You’ve never cared about those things anyway. I’ve realized something-at school, the only things that matter to you are classes and exams. Nothing else ever catches your interest p>
After lunch, life at school quickly returned to normal.
That evening, back at Golden Coast, Lillian entered her ner space. Two small creatures bounded toward her immediately, gazing at her with wounded eyes.
Smiling at their pitiful looks, Lillian bent down. “Alright alright, don’t stare at me like that. I’ve just been busy lately, but from now on I’ll come see you every day”
Blue and the little fox exchanged a serious look, then stightened their expressions. “Fine. Since you sound so sincere, we’ll forgive you this time p>

She then headed toward the medicine fields. Rows of lush herbs stretched before her, and she smiled with satisfaction. Years of venturing deep into mountains to gather herbs had left her with countless specimens, and Blue had cultivated them all here. With the fertile soil of the space and its dense spiritual energy, the herbs flourished and multiplied, even rare ones filling the fields in abundance.
She walked over to the section of Light Herb. Since planting it here, Lillian had noticed her body carried a faint, unfamiliar fragrance-especially at night, when the soft scent wrapped around her, lulling her into a deep relaxation. She suspected it was the Light Herb’s doing.
Crouching down, she admired the plant’s gentle green glow. Its turquoise flowers were more delicate than ever, its leaves a deeper jade, and around its base, fresh sprouts were beginning to grow.
“Blue, are these Light Herb too?” she asked, astonished.
Blue puffed up proudly. “Yep. They’ve just started reproducing recently p>
Lillian’s eyes lit up with delight. She had never expected the Light Herb to reproduce in this space. If used in medicine, the results could be extraordinary.
Without hesitation, she plucked a leaf and paired it with other rare herbs from the field. Selecting carefully, she roasted, ground, and refined them step by step into a pill.
Three hours later, she held a small blue pill in her hand, smiling with satisfaction before popping one into her mouth.
For a physician like her, testing a new medicine personally was essential. Only by experiencing it herself could she understand its true nature. She stored the rest in a bottle, planning to wait and observe the results.
Sunny and Blue frolicked nearby while she watched with a gentle smile. Reborn, everything was proceeding according to the path she had chosen.
In her past life, she had lived only to please others, bending herself into whatever shape people liked. In the end, she had been nothing but a fool’s clown. But in this life, she lived for herself-just Lillian.
Moments later, warmth began to spread through her bolly. Her dantian surged as waves of heat poured into it. Quickly, she sat cross-legged, focusing her senses. The current spread from her fingertips through her limbs, then to every organ.
It felt as though she were wrapped in a cocoon of warmth, comfort flowing through every vein, fatigue from refining medicine vanishing instantly. Power coursed through her-this had to be the effect of the Light Herb.
Looking down at her hands, she could feel spiritual energy surging into her body, her dantian brimming with fullness. Fixing her gaze on a stone nearby, her eyes sharpened. Energy gathered in her palm, forming like a blade, and shot forth. The stone shattered instantly into fragments.
Blue squealed in excitement. “You did it! You actually condensed spiritual energy into a blade p>
Sunny rushed over, eyes wide.
Staring at the rubble, Lillian could hardly believe it herself. “I didn’t expect the power to be this strong.” Then she looked at her two companions with a soft smile. “But I really have to thank you both. You’re my lucky stars p>

She had never dreamed the Light Herb’s effects would be this astonishing-beyond anything she had imagined.
