Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Not long after, Yao Muqiu arrived at the clan's territory and lived alone in a courtyard. One night, Yao Feiran secretly slipped over, and as soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she heard Yao Muqiu say indifferently, "What are you doing here, girl from the Shizhou family?"

"Second Elder, I have a request. I hope to enter the Pill Hall."

"Hmph, the Pill Hall doesn't need treacherous people. Your father said you're fickle, fond of gambling, and lax in your cultivation. You're only at the Spirit Apprentice level now, eh—"

Yao Muqiu sensed the other party's strength as a Spirit Warrior: "You have indeed broken through, but you are already fifteen years old and only at the Spirit Warrior realm. You are far inferior to that girl Yao Qingyuan."

Yao Feiran remained calm upon hearing Yao Qingyuan being compared to her.

"Second Elder, I was ignorant before, but I know I was wrong now. Moreover, I hope you can give me a chance to test me."

At his age, Yao Muqiu had seen all sorts of people. Listening to Yao Feiran's words and actions, he realized that she wasn't as bad as he had imagined. Moreover, seeing that her cultivation level was stable, he figured she had broken through to the Spirit Realm some time ago. The fact that neither her parents nor her aunt had noticed meant that their evaluation of Yao Feiran was probably biased.

"Okay, study this complete book of spiritual herbs tonight, and come find me again at this time tomorrow."

"Thank you, Second Elder."

Yao Feiran left with the book in her arms. Memory is related to the strength of one's soul. The book described the spiritual herbs in great detail, as well as their appearance at various stages. Yao Feiran memorized it almost after flipping through it once.

The following evening, Yao Feiran went to Yao Muqiu's house to take the postgraduate entrance examination. There were several children in his house, all from collateral branches of the family, with Yao Feiran being the oldest.

After testing him, Yao Muqiu's expression grew increasingly satisfied.

"Not bad, not bad, you've achieved photographic memory. Now, all of you come here, I'll refine a batch of pills and watch carefully."

Several people gathered around. Yao Muqiu released the alchemy furnace, and flames began to ignite from his palm. The surrounding temperature immediately rose to a terrifying level, and many people's faces turned red and sweat dripped down their faces.

Yao Muqiu didn't move, but the herbs gradually turned into a ball of spiritual liquid, which eventually flowed into the alchemy furnace. Before long, five pills appeared inside.

"Now, write down the order in which the elixir melts on a piece of paper and tell me."

Many people looked panicked. They were all stunned by the heat and didn't know which herbs melted first. Some people did see it, but they thought they all fused at the same time.

Yao Feiran wrote the answer on a piece of paper and handed it to Yao Muqiu.

When Yao Muqiu saw the contents, her eyes lit up with surprise. After looking at the answers of others, her brows furrowed.

"You should go back now. I'll inform your parents later."

All the children left, except for Yao Feiran.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

"Second Elder, if you take me to the Pill Hall, my parents will not agree, and even my aunt will try her best to stop me."

"Why is that? Although you have good aptitude, you are only a Spirit Master now. You might as well learn alchemy. Besides, your alchemy aptitude is something I have never seen before in my life."

"Second Elder, my father, my stepmother, and my concubine all dislike me."

Yao Feiran began to recount the original owner's experiences since childhood. When she was a child, her aunt only played with her, and if she did anything wrong, she would be beaten and scolded by her aunt. When she grew up, she was encouraged to gamble, and every time she wanted to work hard to cultivate, she was interrupted. Yao Muqiu found it more and more strange as she listened.

"I think that kid Shizhou really likes Liu Hongyue. You are their child, so he should like you even more. How could he do this? Liu Hongyue is already a Spirit Master, yet she whipped you more than ten times with the Crimson Flame Whip. Even if she didn't use her full strength, it was still quite a bit of damage to you. It might even have damaged your foundation. You're no better than an enemy."

"What I have said is true, and I swear by the laws of Heaven."

Yao Muqiu was taken aback. This girl was decisive, directly swearing an oath: "So you want to stay away from your parents."

"Yes, I am unwilling to live a mediocre life. As long as no one stands in my way, I will definitely become a pillar of the Yao family."

"You don't hate them."

"Neither hate nor love."

Yao Muqiu wasn't an old fogey. He stroked his beard and could tell that Yao Feiran was calm and collected. Perhaps her reputation was just for self-protection. When she was born, her bloodline had already been measured with a magical artifact. He didn't know why these people treated a child like this. Judging from this, if this child was raised properly, she would be a great help to the Yao family in the future.

"Good, I know you have such ambition. I will get you out of here no matter what."

Yao Feiran bowed respectfully and then left.

During the day, Xiuyao's expression was somewhat strange: "Second Miss, Madam wants to see you."

Yao Feiran walked over and found everyone there. Yao Muqiu was sitting at the head of the table, his face showing obvious anger, but not directed at Yao Feiran. It seemed that these people had indeed obstructed them.

"Yao Feiran, I intend to take you under my wing to learn the art of alchemy. What are your thoughts?"

Yao Feiran saw the threat in Liu Hongyue's eyes and sneered inwardly: "This junior is willing. There are very few alchemists in the clan now. It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. Naturally, I hope that I can also contribute to the clan."

"Well said, it's better to rely on yourself than others." Yao Muqiu nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, I'll take her away."

Yao Shizhou refused, saying, "No, my daughter is unruly and has extremely poor comprehension. How could she possibly learn alchemy? It would only be a waste of the clan's resources and would interfere with the Second Elder's plans."

"I tested her aptitude, and she is one in a million. There is no one in the clan more suitable than her."

Yao Shizhou's heart sank, and he glanced at Liu Hongyue.

"No! I only have this one daughter, and I want her to stay with me for a few more years." Liu Hongyue grabbed Yao Feiran's hand, her face filled with disappointment: "Feiran, you're not listening to your aunt anymore. You went to tell Elder Zhang on your own that you wanted to learn alchemy. You've disappointed your aunt too much."

"Auntie, are you really doing this for my own good?"

Liu Hongyue looked somewhat impatient: "What do you want to say?"

"If you really care about me, you will respect my choice and be happy that I have chosen a better path, instead of dragging me along. To be honest, when my aptitude was measured as superior, none of you were happy for me. Aunt, you have suppressed me since I was a child and prevented me from cultivating. It was clearly your servant who took me to the gambling den, but you didn't care at all when you found out. You even praised me for winning so much money and said it didn't matter if I lost."
