This space had been with her for over ten years, so she was extremely familiar with it.
At the same time, she immediately noticed something unusual.
In the upper-right corner of the space, there was now a yellow number constantly displayed.
At this moment, it read: 0/10000
This symbol had never existed before. After thinking for a moment, Su Luowan recalled what her master had mentioned—consuming merit to connect the two jade pendants.
Could this number represent merit points? Did it mean that ten thousand merit points were required to activate the connection between the two pendants?
She possessed excellent medical skills—if she treated patients, she should be able to earn merit.
Su Luowan suddenly felt that this would be difficult, but she quickly clenched her fists. As long as she could reunite with her two masters, no matter how hard it was, she would do her best!
With that thought, she continued observing her space.
Her space resembled a farm. Aside from an old-style courtyard house, there was nothing but vast, open land.
The land was filled with medicinal herbs and vegetables she had planted. Time also flowed differently here.
Time in the space moved faster than in the outside world, at a ratio of about 20:1—though this only applied to plants.
In other words, one day outside equaled about twenty days for the plants inside.
Because of this, she had planted rare medicinal herbs and those requiring long growing periods.
Back in the modern world, most of the rare herbs needed by her sect had come from her space.
Now, Su Luowan felt grateful that before transmigrating, she had already stocked the sect’s medicine storerooms with a large supply of herbs.
Those supplies would be enough for her masters and senior brothers to use for quite a long time.
Her gaze then fell on the two plots of land used for growing vegetables.
Thanks to the accelerated time flow, vegetables matured within just a few days after planting.
Moreover, the vegetables grown here tasted exceptionally fresh and delicious. With the nourishment of the space’s well water, they also had the effect of strengthening the body.
Even more amazing, the space had a preservation effect—no matter how long fruits and vegetables were stored, they remained fresh.
After surveying the surroundings, Su Luowan walked toward the courtyard house.
The courtyard wasn’t large. Over the years, she had arranged it into a bedroom, a kitchen, and a workspace.
The remaining rooms stored books that originally existed within the space.
These books couldn’t be taken outside, but they could be read and copied freely. Su Luowan felt fortunate that before transmigrating, she had already copied all the necessary books for her master.
Her safe upbringing and the medical skills she had learned were all thanks to the care of her two masters and senior brothers. Being able to give something back brought her some comfort.
She walked into the courtyard and sat on a swing—this swing had been made for her by her second master.
Gently swaying, she began organizing the memories of this body once more.
This body was the same age as her—seventeen.
It was an age when she should have been attending high school, but due to various reasons, the original owner had chosen to drop out. (In truth, this body originally belonged to Su Luowan, but for clarity, the previous inhabitant will still be referred to as the “original owner.”)
After her eldest brother, Su Luochen, left home to join the army, only the mother and two children remained.
The original owner didn’t feel at ease leaving her mother and younger brother behind to attend high school.
Additionally, in this era, even graduating from high school didn’t guarantee access to university, so no matter how her mother persuaded her, she chose to drop out.
At this point, Su Luowan jumped off the swing.
She still intended to attend university. After all, in this era, university graduates had far better job prospects than in the modern world.
Moreover, if she wanted to earn merit, she would have to continuously improve her education.
Combined with the skills she had learned from her two masters, this would allow more people to trust her—and in turn, help her earn more merit.
From the memories of this body, she learned that the historical trajectory of this world was similar to the one she knew.
It was now the latter half of 1975, which meant that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in 1977.
Gradually, Su Luowan formed her initial plans for the future: use her medical skills to earn merit—and get into university!
With that decided, she planned to freshen up in the space before going out. Her toiletries had always been kept here.
But as soon as she entered the room, she noticed something new in the center—
An egg, much larger than a goose egg.
Curious, she walked over. What was this?
She reached out and gently tapped the white shell. Something inside seemed to respond, moving slightly.
Startled, Su Luowan quickly pulled her hand back.
After observing for a while, she confirmed that there was indeed something inside the egg—likely not ready to hatch yet.
Although she was curious about what it might be, there was nothing she could do for now.
However, since the space was under her control, she wasn’t worried about whatever was inside causing trouble.
With that, she went to wash up, then left the space.
Returning to her small bed, she removed her outer clothes and lay down under the covers.
The quilt wasn’t as light and soft as those in the modern era—the cotton inside had already stiffened with age. However, it carried a faint scent of sunshine.
This was because Lin Yuzhen often aired the quilt in the sun. She had worked hard to raise three children on her own, doing everything she could to care for them.
Su Luowan felt a slight stir in her heart. Her master had said she originally belonged to this world—which meant she truly belonged to this family.
This was her real home.
The bond of blood ties felt slightly different from the affection her masters and senior brothers had given her.
When she had first transmigrated into this body, Lin Yuzhen and Su Luonian had felt like the original owner’s mother and younger brother.
But after hearing her master’s words, she realized—
This was her own biological mother. Her own younger brother.
She finally had true blood relatives.
The more she thought about it, the more emotional she became. At the same time, she silently made a vow—
Her mother, her younger brother… and her older brother too—she would protect them all from now on.
That night, she didn’t know when she fell asleep.
She only knew that throughout the night, the warm scent of sun-dried cotton lingered around her.
