Holding the pendant she took it and her phone to the bathroom and locked the door, afraid that one of her roommates suddenly enter the room interupting her in the process.
She found a cutter knife inside while psyching herself, she wounded her arm with a small cut just enough that she can squeeze some blood to flow out.
Ruan Wen carefully dripped her blood on the wooden pendant afraid that her blood would not be enough. Nervous that what she was doing was pointless, but as she was feeling dizzy, she noticed that the wooden pendant seemingly absorbing her blood deepen in color. She saw it change goinh from a dark wood varnished with dark lacquer to deep black like a real ebony wood, and finally flashing brightly to a shiny black jade that glows a rich green color from the inside.
Ruan Wen was entranced as tiny bright spectacles float up from the pendant and like a hologram, projected a beautiful rainbow colored lotus rotating gently right before her eyes!
The lotus flower's gentle rotation sped up to a blur and the flew between her eyes making her step back!
When she look back at the pendant it looked the same as it was before like nothing ever happened! Her blood gone leaving no traces behind, if not for the wound in her arm, Ruan Wen could have believed it never happened.
Tending to her wound, Ruan Wen made herself some brown sugar water. The original owner's body was not in a very good shape in the first place and was still grieving her graparents passing, she had a hard time keeping her health and was very weak. Its a wonder she has not contacted cold yet, she had lost a considerable amount of blood making her almost faint, touching her forehead she sat down and inspected the pendant on the sink.
Thinking of the rainbow lotus flower projection that went in between my eyebrows, she can't feel any difference. Thinking of the situation in the novel, she closed her eyes whispering in her heart 'enter' and for a split second she felt like the ground was pulled under her. Ruan Wen opened her eyes to an unbelievable place with tall mountains and clear water.

In a cafe somewhere outside the vicinity of the university, Yu Xiyun felt her heart sting making her a bit restless.
"Is something not to your liking Xiyun?" Zhang Qian asked her as she noticed Yu Xiyun's pained expression.
They are currently hanging out in her cousin's newly opened cafe with their group of friends, Yu Xiyun quickly fixed her expression back to her usual gentle lady appearace.
"No…it's nothing, thank you for concern Zhang Qian." She replied sweetly, but deep down she felt like she just lost something very important to her.

The first thing Ruan Wen noticed when she entered the space was the rich aura filling the air making her feel so comfortable like a warm sunlight enveloping her in a gentle hug.
I can hear the gurgling brook nearby, see gardens of blooming flowers and herbs all around, there were bushes of berries, an orchard of unknown trees lush with fruits, and paddy fields full of rice. At the distance Ruan Wen can see hills and mountains. There were four tall prominent mountains standing at north, east, west, and south, with the northern snowcapped mountain as the tallest all of which are dense in forested. By the south, a bright blue sea can be seen connected to a river running down between the mountains and lakes.
As Ruan Wen take in her new environment, she can feel a strong close connection with the space as though she have absolute control of everything that is inside.
In awe Ruan Wen walked to the large courtyard made of bamboo sprawled near the west mountain that overlooking the orchard. She discovered that the space of the courtyard is divided in several functional rooms.
The largest section in the west side there is the library, the practice room, an alchemy room, array making room, the forging room, pharmacy room, and a symbol making room. At the south side there is a treasure gathering pavilion, a beast room at the further back, and an infinite static warehouse. The living quarters are, there is a living room, bedroom, study room, a bath house, dining room, and a kitchen are situated by the east.
Touring the house, Ruan Wen found a jade slip on the table at the study room.
Ruan Wen felt a bit uneasy because the novel never mentioned anything about jade slips but feeling her control over the space she comforted herself and made up her mind placing the jade slip.
Soon a wave of information rushed to her mind putting Ruan Wen in a trance as she take in everything to her mind.
It turns out that this space is an artifact inheritance left by an unnamed unorthodox master cultivator from a different world.
