Quick Wear: True and False Life

After Gu Nan returned to the system space, he closed his eyes and slept for a long time before letting those heavy emotions fade away with time. When he opened his eyes, everything in his eyes had returned to calm.

"Qi Ling, are you there?"

"Sister, you're awake! Do you need to seal your memory?" As a system, Qi Ling's statistical data told her that having too heavy memories is very painful, so she asked Gu Nan worriedly.

"No need. If you forget, you will always feel that your life is flawed, which is not conducive to understanding a different life. Only with flaws can life be perfect." Gu Nan thought for a while and smiled.

"Sister, should we practice first now?" Qi Ling became more alert after sleeping in this world and knew to ask questions actively.

"First, I'll sort out the materials that I stored in the space in my previous life, and then I can practice." Gu Nan felt that he was unable to concentrate on his practice, so he planned to sort out the space first to allow himself to calm down completely.

"Okay, sister."

Gu Nan entered the space and went to look at Bai Qi first. Bai Qi was now completely covered in a cocoon of light, and the light of the cocoon remained unchanged.

"Lingxi, Baiqi has been sleeping for almost two centuries, how come there is no change at all?" She didn't see anything, so she could only raise her doubts.

"Sister, Bai Qi is now repairing the defects he sustained at birth. It will take a while to repair them. It would be great if he were in the realm of cultivation, where he could find rare treasures to repair them." Ling Xifei said regretfully beside Gu Nan.

"Lingxi is right. Just sleeping in space really doesn't give you any innate advantages."

"But it doesn't matter. We have plenty of time and can make up for the shortfall."

"Yes, what we have the most right now is time."

As they were talking, the two of them left the cave where Bai Qi was sleeping and came to the warehouse. At this moment, there were all kinds of things piled together here, and it looked messy at a glance.

They sorted and organized the items, and put them into the warehouse shelves in different categories. Gu Nan was sighing at this moment. Fortunately, most of the gold, silver and jewelry had been handed over to the country. The rest were mostly books, medicinal materials and other supplies. Some food was also stored, in case they were not careful and entered into a famine era.

After everything was done, only a mineral and a special book were left on the ground. Gu Nan took out these two items collected in the previous world separately so that Lingxi could recognize them.

"Lingxi, can you help me look at these two items? Do you recognize them?" Gu Nan asked Lingxi while holding the book.

"Sister, I know that mineral. It is very rare and a good thing for refining tools. It is also a main material for shaping the body. It is called nebula." Lingxi circled the mine twice and flew back to Gu Nan and said.

When Lingxi was sorting them out just now, she didn't look carefully and didn't find such a good thing. Now she is very excited because she finally collected a body shaping material.

"We are lucky. This should be a meteorite. It seems that the ownerless minerals in the sky are also one of our major targets. We should collect more flying treasures when we have the chance in the future." Gu Nan said to Ling Xi excitedly after hearing this.

"Sister, that's a good point."

"Then let's take another look at this book. What's going on here? I felt so familiar with it at the time." Gu Nan looked around while holding the book and asked with a familiar tone.

"Sister, don't you remember the five books you and your senior sister Gu Danzhu bought in the bookstore?" Lingxi said in surprise.

"Are you talking about that book with mediocre content?" Gu Nan remembered it as soon as Ling Xi mentioned it, and asked in surprise.

Gu Nan had a different feeling about the book at that time. He just wanted to own it and was deeply impressed.

"Yes, their auras are the same, but it seems like you don't feel anything about this one."

"Why?" Gu Nan felt even more strange and asked Lingxi puzzledly.

"Sister, let me see what's going on?" Lingxi looked around, but didn't understand. After a moment of distress, she suddenly patted herself.

Lingxi suddenly remembered that when spiritual objects gain consciousness, they will conceal themselves, so she used her spiritual sense to investigate, and it was true.

"Sister, this book has consciousness. It can restrain its aura on its own. I am a space spirit, so I can easily detect these auras. It is a cute little thing." Lingxi happily shared the information she had discovered with Gu Nan.

"So that's how it is." Gu Nan suddenly realized.

"Sister, I'll go to the palace and get the book." Lingxi said, and flew away without waiting for Gu Nan to speak. After a while, she hurriedly flew back to Gu Nan.

Gu Nan took the book, and the two books were attracted to each other, and merged together in a flash. The light became stronger and stronger. After the light dissipated, she opened it again and saw that it was still a book with ordinary contents.

She looked through it but couldn't make sense of it, so she asked Lingxi to send the classified books, medicinal herbs, and minerals to the palace, and put the rest in the warehouse here.

"Lingxi, is Bai Xi still in the woods after following us?" Gu Nan suddenly remembered Bai Xi who had walked with them and asked.

"Yes, after Bai Xi arrived at the space, he obtained the demon cultivation technique and went to the forest to open a cave to practice."

"That's good. Meeting us is his chance. He should be more positive."

Lingxi and Gu Nan walked and chatted along the Ling River. Now on both sides of the Ling River, there are medicinal herbs on one side and food materials, flowers, and exotic plants on the other side. They all dance in the wind, which is a beautiful sight.

He walked around the space to relax, and helped Lingxi collect the ripe supplies before returning to the system space.

"Sister, you seem to be in a much better mood." Qi Ling said as soon as she saw Gu Nan and was able to scan Gu Nan's emotional data.

"Yes, Qi Ling's functions are becoming more and more complete. I hope Qi Ling can have a spiritual body soon."

Gu Nan sincerely wishes Qi Ling the best. Qi Ling is only conscious now and his data is severely damaged. Once he has a complete spirit body, he will be one step closer to possessing a physical body.

"Thank you for the blessing! So, sister, are you going to practice now?" Although Qi Ling didn't understand emotions yet, she was really happy to receive the blessings, because the data showed that human blessings were something that people would only do if they truly loved someone. For a moment, she felt that her data was dyed pink.

After Gu Nan finished speaking, she began to practice. The merits she received this time were two or three times that of the first plane. Qi Ling said that it was probably because it was linked to the country and because she had saved too many meritorious people.

She still gave a quarter to the system, and began to practice the Soul Forging Technique, tempering the consciousness bit by bit. I had to keep tempering it like forging iron, removing impurities and solidifying it, then expanding and shaping it. The feeling went from dull pain to severe pain, until it reached the limit. There seemed to be a layer of membrane in my brain, and with a "puff" sound, the pain gradually dissipated. The consciousness dispersed and condensed to the extreme, and there was no further progress. The Soul Forging Technique entered the first level of cultivation, the fourth stage, and reached perfection.

Taking advantage of the remaining energy from her practice, she continued to practice the Nine Revolutions Return to the Origin Technique. As the technique was practiced, most of the remaining merit and faith were gradually compressed and transformed into the merit and faith ring behind her, becoming one, until there was no merit and faith left.

Then he absorbed a large amount of chaotic energy from all directions of the system space into his body to condense his spirit. Perhaps his spatial position was drifting, and this time he entered a place with rich chaotic energy. Gu Nan's body kept absorbing it like a sponge. His spirit changed from solid to virtual to transparent, and from transparent to virtual to solid. After repeating this countless times, his spirit took shape and became translucent. The soul tempering caused a qualitative change from quantitative change, which enabled his consciousness to break through and enter the first stage of the second level of cultivation.

What a surprise.
