Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality

The huge spaceship slowly slowed down until it came to a complete stop on a bluestone wall.

There were only some mortals on the city wall, and they were all stunned by such magical things.

But then they reacted immediately. Although they were surprised, it was not the first time they saw this kind of spiritual creature. Soon, several figures dressed as soldiers ran into the city.

After a while, a somewhat old figure came to the city gate riding on a flying sword.

He immediately glanced at He Ling who was standing in the crowd.

He was a little surprised when he saw He Ling's young face, but the surprise only lasted for a moment.

But then he looked at the three people standing behind He Ling, and was shocked. With his strength in the middle stage of foundation building, he couldn't see the cultivation level of these three people at a glance. Either these three people were carrying spiritual objects that could shield detection, or these three people were foundation building cultivators like him.

Although the possibility that all three of them are foundation-building cultivators is extremely small, the fact that there is a spiritual creature that hides its cultivation level is worth pondering. After all, ordinary subordinates do not need to hide their cultivation level.

As for the other three, he naturally ignored them.

He thought for a moment, then laughed and said:

"Haha, I guess this fairy must be the junior sister sent by our sect to guard Qingshi City this time."

"I don't know what your name is, senior brother." He Ling nodded and took out a small jade pendant from his arms.

When the old man saw the jade pendant, he finally relaxed a little.

"My name is Qu Fu. Junior Sister has come from afar with a group of people. Please come into the city quickly. I have already prepared a banquet to welcome you. It won't be too late for us to talk after we go in."

"please."

He Ling did not refuse and followed the old man into the city.

The old man led everyone to a wooden attic. When they arrived at the hall, they saw the table filled with wine and food. Although most of them were ordinary things, some of them were obviously cooked with the meat of spiritual beasts.

This surprised He Ling a little.

"Come, come, Junior Sister, the spiritual energy in this Nanli land is thin, and time is so short. It's not easy for me to get these. I hope Junior Sister will not despise them."

He Ling chuckled, shook her head, picked up the chopsticks, took a light bite, and put them down.

"Brother, isn't the spiritual energy in Nanli Valley very thin? How could you possibly obtain monster meat in such a short time?"

The old man was clearly not particularly interested in the food on the table. He put down his chopsticks and said, "Junior sister, you might not know this, but the spiritual energy in Nanli Valley as a whole is quite thin. However, this thinness varies in degree. Our spiritual energy is slightly better than other places, and we happen to be close to the Endless Forest. Over time, some wild beasts have become demonic beasts. The Endless Forest is undeveloped, and its vastness is unknown. Other demonic beasts often wander into the edge of the Endless Forest, and that's how we get our demonic beast meat."

"So that's how it is." Then she looked outside the door again, "Brother, I remember that Bluestone City should be guarded by three people. Why haven't I seen the other brother yet?"

The old man continued, "Junior sister, do you remember the mission issued by the sect?"

After the old man said this, He Ling finally realized that the sect's mission name clearly stated that it was to protect the Yulin tree, but He Ling had not seen any shadow of the tree since he entered the city.

"Isn't the Yulin tree here?"

"Junior sister is indeed smart."

“Although the sect’s announcement about guarding the Jade Forest Tree states that the location is Qingshi City, the Jade Spirit Tree and Qingshi City are actually separate.

The place where the Jade Spirit Tree is located is called Lishui Stream. The location of Lishui Stream is quite awkward. Most of it has entered the territory of the Endless Forest. The terrain there is steep and there are many poisonous insects and monsters. It is really not suitable for long-term garrison.

Thus, this Bluestone City came into being. The sect originally arranged for three people to guard it together, with the intention of three people taking turns to guard the Lishui Stream for a period of time. Before my junior sister, it was only my junior brother Shilinshan and I who held the position, so my junior brother is still in the Lishui Stream at this moment."

As he was speaking, he heard a slight noise coming from outside.

After a while, another old man came flying over on a flying sword.

Qu Fu frowned when he saw the old man, "Shilinshan, why did you come back so soon? Doesn't that mean the Yulin Tree is unguarded now?!"

The old man named Shi Linshan just laughed and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother. It's the height of summer now, and the insects won't come out for a few days."

"That's also..."

Qu Fu hadn't finished speaking yet.

Shi Linshan looked directly at He Ling, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward and stretched out his hand to grab He Ling's hand.

"Junior sister, I've finally got you here!"

He Ling frowned and put his hands behind his back, leaving the old man with nothing to grab.

Shi Linshan's face flashed with embarrassment and anger, but then he burst into tears again. "Junior sister, you don't know that the original mission to guard the Jade Forest Tree was for three people. You were so late, so Senior Brother Qu Fu and I had to bear the burden of one more person's guarding time. Senior Brother Qu Fu and I have been looking forward to you for a long time, and finally you are here."

"Junior Sister, Senior Brother Qu Fu and I have each been guarding for five years. Today is the time for us to hand over our duties. I'll leave the next five years in your care."

He Ling had just arrived and naturally didn't understand the rules here. But after hearing what Shi Linshan said, He Ling vaguely felt that something was wrong.

If it was really a rotation system, shouldn't the guards be replaced after a certain period of time? How could it have lasted a full five years?

Seeing the doubtful look on He Ling's face, Shi Linshan smiled and looked at Qu Fu, "Brother, don't you think so?"

Qu Fu frowned slightly. He Ling guessed correctly. The time interval between their shifts of guarding would certainly not be too long. Generally speaking, a few months or half a year was common, and at most a year. Shilin Mountain proposed five years at once, which was obviously bullying this junior sister who had just arrived and knew nothing.

Naturally, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the Stone Forest Mountain, but...if He Ling was really asked to guard Lishui Stream for five years, he would not only have to take care of the work for the Stone Forest Mountain, but he would also have to take care of his own work.

The Lishui Stream is not a good place, especially since the insect swarm will break out in a few days. The poisonous insects seem to be endless, and even a foundation-building cultivator like him feels a little scared when he sees them.

After thinking for a moment, he didn't say anything. After all, he was no longer passionate and liked to show off. He glanced at Shi Linshan, which was considered as his agreement with his words.

Shi Linshan's smile deepened. "Junior sister, the Jade Forest Tree is in great danger now that it's no longer guarded by a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Why don't you go over there first? After all, we can always have this meal again."
