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

In a somewhat stuffy room, even though both doors were open, the temperature inside did not drop at all.

Strong men with naked upper bodies were standing there, holding a red-hot iron block with a pair of iron clamps in their left hands and placing it on the iron felt. In their right hands, they were hammering with a sledgehammer, making a clanging sound. Among this group of mostly male figures, a woman stood out.

Although the woman's forehead was covered in sweat, she wasn't as sweaty as the other men. She also held the iron block with a pair of tongs, and after a few hammer blows, the iron block took its general shape. After a few more hammer blows, a "rough" was ready. After cooling it in a pool of water, she threw it onto the rough pile behind her, which had already formed a small hill.

At this time, a burly bald man appeared at the door. After looking at everyone, he came to the woman in gray. He looked at the pile of embryos and nodded with satisfaction.

"Xiao Ling."

He Ling looked up at the bald man and said, "Manager Tong, it's you. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"

Manager Tong nodded and said with a smile, "Of course I have something to talk to you about. Come with me."

He Ling was a little surprised, but he still put down the hammer and followed Manager Tong out of the forging room.

As soon as she got outside, He Ling suddenly felt a lot quieter. She looked at Manager Tong and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Manager Tong smiled and said, "Xiao Ling, you've been in our Spirit Weapon Pavilion for two years now, right?"

He Ling nodded. "It's almost exactly two years now."

Manager Tong continued, "Xiao Ling, I've noticed that you've performed quite well over the past two years, and have earned quite a bit of spirit stones for our Spirit Weapon Pavilion. I've also asked the Pavilion Master if I can promote you to a manager position. What do you think?"

He Ling's face didn't have the joyful expression that Manager Tong had believed. Instead, she thought for a moment before saying, "Manager Tong, I don't plan to stay in the Spirit Weapon Pavilion for long. I was planning to resign after this month, but now is the perfect time. I'm telling you this right here."

Manager Tong was completely caught off guard and said a lot of words to try to keep her. He really felt sorry for Wei Ling.

But He Ling only said, "I am about to draw Qi into my body and become a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage."

Manager Tong shut his mouth in some surprise. Once He Ling became a cultivator, he would be different from mortals like them. Not only would he not have to do these hard tasks, but even if he met him next time, he would have to call him Master.

When Manager Tong saw He Ling's calm expression as when she first came, he was in a trance. He still remembered that when she first came, she was so strong that she could do the work of two people alone, so he hired He Ling on the spot. After that, it was his ordinary life as a blacksmith. Ordinary workers would spend some spirit beads on pleasure, but he had never seen He Ling go anywhere to play. She came on time every day and left on time. Manager Tong sometimes wondered if she was possessed by some evil spirit.

But in the blink of an eye, such a person is about to become a cultivator, and everyone calls him Immortal Master with respect.

Manager Tong didn't know what to say for a moment, and He Ling went back to the forging room without waiting for his response. He had been in a daze for too long, and she was about to resign, so she didn't need to pay too much attention to his expression.

It was not until sunset that the blacksmiths finished their busy day of work. Some of them gathered in groups of two or three to discuss where to find the best wine and where to have fun.

He Ling was walking alone at the back.

After buying some food, they walked out of the town and then into a small woods. After turning a few corners, they saw a fence. There were also cultivated fields around it where some vegetables were planted. They opened the simple fence gate, and two big yellow dogs as big as little lions rushed out, wagging their tails and whining at He Ling.

Inside the fence, there are tables, stools, chairs, a simple earthen stove, and two tents next to it.

He Ling originally wanted to build a small wooden house, but the house was too tall and too conspicuous in the woods, so after thinking about it, she gave up the idea.

He moved a chair and sat down, then threw two slaughtered chickens to the two dogs. It was already completely dark at this time. He Ling lit the oil lamp and picked up a book to read.

He Ling has lived here for two years. She originally thought that it would only take some time to reach the first level of Qi Refining, but it turned out that this time exceeded He Ling's expectations.

She waited for two years, and even spent spirit stones to buy Qi-nourishing pills several times. Only during this time did she see the hope of becoming a Qi-refining cultivator.

Thinking of this, He Ling couldn't help but sigh. Now she was no longer completely unfamiliar with the world of immortal cultivation. For ordinary people with spiritual roots, it would only take a few moments to draw Qi into the body and become a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, and a few days at most. But it took her more than two years, and she still had to rely on several bottles of Qi Nourishing Pills to barely "become" a cultivator in the first level of Qi Refining.

You have to know that the Qi Refining Stage is divided into nine levels, let alone building the foundation. With her current progress, it's unknown how long she'll have to wait until she reaches the ninth level of Qi Refining.

He Ling picked up a piece of meat pie, took a bite, and continued reading.

However, she has also gained something over the years. Now she has basically figured out the structure of Yuxian Town.

The founder of Yuxian Town was a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, who called himself Master Qingfeng. He founded Yuxian Town together with three other cultivators many years ago. However, for unknown reasons, the other three cultivators left or died, and only Master Qingfeng stayed and became the owner of Yuxian Town.

Although Yuxian Town is not big, it has three forces, each of which is led by a great cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining. They are considered the top forces except for Master Qingfeng.

Most of the alchemy pavilions and refining pavilions in Yuxian Town are assets of these three forces.

He Ling had decided that after becoming a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, he would work as a clerk in the Dan Pavilion controlled by the Liu family, one of the three forces.

He Ling has made a lot of preparations for this. The book she is holding in her hand is "A Complete Guide to Spiritual Plants", which introduces the appearance and effects of various spiritual plants.

But she had exchanged a whole spirit stone for it just to prepare to enter the Dan Pavilion.

"Woo woo." The two dogs barked at the full moon.

He Ling glanced at Gou Zi and realized that it was already so late. She closed the book and saw a full moon hanging in the sky. She looked at the full moon that looked like a jade plate with a vague look in her eyes, which brought back some memories.

But in the end she shook her head, shook off some thoughts in her mind, and dived into the tent.
