Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, wake up."

Someone shook Ye Yu's body to bring her back to her senses.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Zhao Jing's anxious gaze. Ye Yu softly called out, "Mom."

"Hey!" Zhao Jing responded and asked, "Xiaoyu, did you have another nightmare? Just like the last few times, you were gesturing wildly with your hands and saying something."

Ye Yu smiled and said, "Yes, I had a dream. In the dream, I was a cultivator, flying around in the sky, and then..."

"As a result, you lost your balance and fell from the sky, which is why you were chanting incantations and gesturing at the same time!"

Zhao Jing picked up where Ye Yu left off: "You said the same thing the last few times."

"But I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, okay, I believe you! Get up and pack your things, we'll be discharged soon. Mom will go and take care of the paperwork for you." After saying that, Zhao Jing turned and left the ward.

Seeing Zhao Jing leave the ward, Ye Yu's smile faded. In fact, the dreams she told Zhao Jing were all real.

She was originally a rogue cultivator in the cultivation world. In order to have better resources for her cultivation, she joined a sect as a disciple. Unexpectedly, an internal traitor colluded with the demonic path, leading to the destruction of the sect.

The sect leader and the elders refused to comply even at the cost of their lives. Ye Yu realized that they wanted to self-destruct their nascent souls and perish together with the demonic path, so he made hand seals and tried to escape.

However, the energy from the Nascent Soul's self-destruction was unimaginable. Before he could escape far, he was engulfed by the erupting wave and lost consciousness. When he woke up again, he had become Ye Yu, a senior high school student.

The body she's in now is also called Ye Yu. She's 18 years old this year. She died from a high fever caused by a cold, which gave her the opportunity to be reborn in this world.

Ye Yu felt completely unfamiliar upon arriving in this world, as it was entirely different from the cultivation world he lived in.

Fortunately, she inherited the original owner's memories; otherwise, it would have taken her quite some time to adapt, since there were many magical artifacts—no, electronic products—that she had never seen before.

After being discharged from the hospital, Ye Yu went back to Zhao Jing's old and dilapidated home.

After entering the room, she said to Zhao Jing, who was tidying up, "Mom, I'm going back to my room to sleep for a while. Call me when dinner is ready."

"Okay, go and rest. I'll call you when the food is ready," Zhao Jing replied.

After hearing Zhao Jing's reply, Ye Yu returned to her room according to her memory.

She locked the door, sat cross-legged on the bed, and muttered to herself, "This body is too weak, and with the scarcity of spiritual energy in this world, how easy is it for me to recover to my previous Core Formation stage?"

Then he added, "Fortunately, this body has good talent; it even has dual spiritual roots, which is much better than my previous three spiritual roots. Heaven has been quite kind to me."

"I should focus on recovering from my illness first, and then try to find a way to return to the cultivation world while I continue cultivating." After saying that, he closed his eyes, formed hand seals, and entered a meditative state by circulating the Three Elements True Scripture in his mind.

Night falls.

Zhao Jing finished preparing dinner and knocked on Ye Yu's door, calling out, "Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu, get up and eat."

Hearing the call, Ye Yu emerged from her meditation, exhaled a breath of stale air, and replied, "I'll be right there."

After saying that, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, took a few steps, and opened the door.

When Zhao Jing saw people come out, she went to the kitchen to get rice.

Looking at Zhao Jing's thin back, Ye Yu thought helplessly, "Fine, I'll just consider it repaying the original owner's kindness. From now on, I'll treat Zhao Jing as my own mother, which will settle the karmic debt and prevent it from hindering my cultivation."

Thinking about how the original owner's family had been trying to save Ye's father, who was lying in a hospital bed, but had failed and ended up with a mountain of debt.

To earn money to pay off debts, Zhao Jing, the mother, worked two jobs: cleaning at a hotel during the day and serving dishes at a hot pot restaurant at night.

Because of my busy work schedule, leaving early and returning late, I neglected to communicate and care for the original owner.

Therefore, the original owner felt inferior and did not like to interact with people.

He always walked with his head down, hunched over, and didn't like to talk much at school. His academic performance was average, making him the type of student who least attracted the teachers' attention, and gradually he lost his friends.

Unfortunately, the original owner suddenly felt unwell in her stomach during class that day.

I tried to hold it in until the end of get out of class before going to the bathroom, but my stomach started hurting more and more. I tried to distract myself and hold it in until the end of get out of class, but it didn't work at all.

After two minutes of mental preparation, seeing that the teacher wasn't lecturing but instead had everyone do practice problems, I finally raised my hand tremblingly.

Only after the teacher nodded in agreement did she blush and run towards the convenience store.

It was also the original owner's bad luck; she left in a hurry that morning and forgot to bring toilet paper, and was too embarrassed to borrow from her classmates. So she decided to go to the convenience store to buy some and then go to the nearest restroom.

So she chose to walk through a grove of trees that no one usually goes by, and by sheer coincidence, she ran into a couple embracing and kissing passionately not far away.

The original owner hesitated, clutching her stomach. If she passed by here, the man and woman on the other side would notice her.

Her stomach was throbbing with pain. She bit her lower lip and turned to go back the way she came, but her foot landed on a dry branch with a crisp, loud "crack."

The man and woman nearby heard this, and the man shouted, "Come here, I've already seen you, even if you run away I can find you."

The original owner was terrified and could only walk towards the man and woman. When she saw that it was Luo Dong and Zhang Yao, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Because Luo Dong was a notorious troublemaker at school, he was arrogant and domineering because his family was rich.

The girl's name is Zhang Yao. She is the school's most beautiful girl and has excellent grades. She usually acts quiet at school, but she is actually very outgoing in private.

Seeing that the original owner was a student, Zhang Yao breathed a sigh of relief and leaned closer to Luo Dong's back.

Noticing Zhang Yao's fear, Luo Dong threatened the original owner of the body, "I'm warning you, you'd better pretend you didn't see anything, or you'd better watch out and see how I deal with you."

The original owner was so frightened that he repeatedly promised not to tell anyone and explained why he was there.

Seeing that the original owner was so frightened that her face turned pale, Luo Dong guessed that she wouldn't dare to say anything reckless. After threatening her a few more times, he put his arm around Zhang Yao's waist and left.

After the two left, the original owner finally relaxed and went to the toilet.

The very next day, someone posted on the school's online forum that they saw Luo Dong and Zhang Yao kissing in the school's grove.

They even said they'd go to a hotel together after school, and now the whole school knows about it.

After school in the afternoon, the original owner was stopped on her way home by several boys. One of them pointed at her and said, "Brother Dong, isn't that her?"

"It's her! She's really bold, daring to let the whole school know, making Yao Yao cry all afternoon."

"Hey guys, teach her a lesson and show her what happens when you mess with me." Luo Dong said, his hands in his pockets, his eyes full of contempt.

Several people rolled up their sleeves and were about to grab the original owner, who could only back away with a pale face while explaining, "I didn't say that, I didn't say that."

"Hmph, you're all alone in the woods, what else could you be but a ghost?" a boy sneered.

Seeing that he was about to be caught, the original owner was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

A person can unleash extreme power in a fearful environment, and for a while, those boys couldn't catch up with her.

The original owner was running on the main street during the rush hour when people were leaving get off work and school. The crowd was huge, and Luo Dong and the others realized that it was not a good time to chase after him, so they could only give up while cursing.

Afterwards, the original owner was bullied by her classmates for spreading rumors about Luo Dong and Zhang Yao in the woods.

Books and homework were torn up, people tripped while walking, hair was cut off, and they were locked in the toilet, etc.

The last time the original owner was pushed into the school pond, she developed a high fever after returning home.

Then, Ye Yu was reborn into this body.

Thinking of this, Ye Yu sighed and thought to herself, "The original owner was not only physically weak, but also had a weak personality. It seems that I really need to speed up my cultivation and enter the Qi Refining stage as soon as possible."

Having made up her mind, she went into the kitchen and helped Zhao Jing bring the dishes to the table.

The mother and daughter sat together eating. Ye Yu noticed that Zhao Jing kept putting food on her plate and urging her to eat more, so she had to interrupt her: "Mom, I want to go to Yunfeng Temple to stay for a while. It's quiet there and the air is fresh."

Zhao Jing's eyes reddened upon hearing this.

"It's all my fault. All these years I've only thought about making more money to pay off the debts and haven't taken good care of you. I didn't even know my daughter was wronged at school. I'm not a good mother." Her words were full of regret.

"Mom, it's not your fault."

Ye Yu put down her chopsticks and comforted her, "I've never resented you. You've always done it for my better life, haven't you?"

"Besides, you were there when the doctor was speaking. Resting is the best thing for me, so you don't need to worry. Aren't there people recuperating at Yunfeng Temple too?" She knew what Zhao Jing was worried about.

“Alright, Mom will go with you to Yunfeng Temple for a while,” Zhao Jing said.

How can that work!

“You really don’t need to worry about me. I’m an adult now and I can regulate my emotions myself. Besides, if you come with me to Yunfeng Temple, how will you manage two jobs? Jobs are hard to find these days.”

Seeing that Zhao Jing had taken it to heart, he continued, "Besides, I only asked the school for a month's leave, and I'll be back in about twenty days at most. I still need to go to university, aren't you going to prepare my tuition fees?"

Zhao Jing was completely convinced. Looking into her daughter's calm eyes and thinking about how much she had changed after all these experiences, she nodded in agreement.

Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhao Jing nod in agreement, thinking, "At least she agreed, otherwise I would have had to think of another way."

After dinner, Ye Yu went back to her room to pack her things.

Opening the bag she brought back during the day, inside was a small stack of yellow paper, a calligraphy brush, and cinnabar that Ye Yu had bought from an antique shop next door while Zhao Jing was buying fruit.

This is for drawing talismans; she plans to draw some life-saving talismans once she feels better.

After packing all the clothes and a change of clothes into his schoolbag, he sat cross-legged on the bed and entered a meditative state, planning to set off for Yunfeng Temple early the next morning.
