Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Yin Yin asked with some confusion, "Master, becoming a person of Pengshan? What does that mean?"

“You can think of it as becoming a disciple of Pengshan,” Xuan Nu explained. “However, once an outsider becomes a member of Pengshan, before he or she dies, he or she must return to Pengshan and leave all his or her power in the divine tree at the very center of Pengshan.”

"How can a tree bear internal energy?" Yin Yin tried to find a trace of joking on Xuan Nu's face, but she didn't find it.

The Mystic Maiden said, "It's not that other trees can't do it, but that doesn't mean the divine tree can't either."

Yinyin thought for a moment and then asked cautiously, "Master, after leaving his power in the divine tree, wouldn't that person be gone?"

“Not necessarily,” Xuan Nu thought for a moment and said, “If someone is already dying, they will naturally not be able to live after losing their internal energy. But if someone is healthy, losing their internal energy is equivalent to becoming an ordinary person again.”

"After you become an ordinary person again, Pengshan will not restrict your stay or leave. However, almost all the outsiders who were once Pengshan people have chosen to stay in Pengshan, and very few have left."

So that tree really only needs internal energy, not an evil tree that devours souls!

At this point, Yin Yin focused on the first half of what Xuan Nu had said: "Master just said there's a way for me to become a top expert faster, what is that way?"

The Mystic Maiden didn't hide anything from her: "After becoming a member of Pengshan, you will have a new name and identity token. From then on, practicing martial arts in Pengshan will be twice as effective with half the effort."

“Master, I have one last question,” Yin Yin cleared her throat, “Why are you suddenly asking me this? Is it because I thought I saw you smile?”

The Mysterious Woman shook her head and said, "Because you have a connection with Pengshan."

When Yin Yin tried to ask how she got it, Xuan Nu had already gotten up and told her to rest early and that she would tell her the result when she had thought it through tomorrow.

After Xuan Nu left, Yin Yin couldn't fall asleep for a while, so she took out the most detailed horoscope from her bundle.

As her fingers flew across the paper, a glint of light seemed to flash in Yin Yin's eyes.

When she stopped what she was doing, the result was presented to Yin Yin.

Not agreeing won't have any impact on the future.

I agree, but much later I give her positive feedback.

After seeing the results, Yin Yin had already made her choice.

The next day, Xuan Nu, upon learning of this, did not delay and, together with Zhu Que, led Yin Yin to the center of Pengshan.

The three of them set off from the village near the coast and walked up the path.

Yinyin also noticed that as they moved, the trees became taller and taller as they went higher up the mountain.

These trees spread their branches and leaves so wide that they even block out the sun.

If there were more fog, it would look eerie.

As if knowing Yin Yin's thoughts, after passing the halfway point and going further up, a thick fog suddenly rose in the forest.

The goddess was worried that she would lose her way, so she took her hand.

After walking for quite a while, the three of them finally arrived at their destination, and Yin Yin finally saw the divine tree that the Mystic Maiden had mentioned.

This tree is so thick that it would probably take five people holding hands to encircle it.

Compared to other trees, this tree's branches and leaves are not very dense, and in some places it even looks a bit bald.

Perhaps knowing what Yin Yin was thinking, Zhu Que said to her, "The divine tree was originally very lush, but after being attacked by a hurricane and lightning a few years ago, it has lost its former vitality."

Yin Yin didn't understand what this meant at first, but when she saw Xuan Nu's lowered eyelids, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of her master whom she had never met.

The only hurricane she had ever heard of occurred when her master was causing trouble.

She didn't respond to Zhuque's question, but instead asked Xuan Nu, "Master, what should I do next?"

The Mystic Maiden said softly, "Place your hands on the tree, circulate your inner energy, and don't think about anything."

Yinyin did as she was told, walked to the sacred tree, and reached out her hand to touch it.

After circulating her internal energy for a week, Yin Yin didn't see any changes. Just as she was about to ask Xuan Nu and Zhu Que, she heard the leaves suddenly rustling.

got windy?

Yinyin looked elsewhere and found that the other trees had not been moved by the wind at all, so only the sacred tree was moving.

Yinyin was still wondering what was going on when she suddenly realized that something was wrong with her surroundings.

The rough tree bark in front of me suddenly seemed to turn into a membrane.

The membrane had a faint green tint, and through it, Yin Yin saw a girl with the same face as her.

It was tiny, with its hands and feet curled up together, as if it hadn't been born yet.

As Yinyin stared at the girl for a while, a hint of icy blue suddenly bloomed on her back.

The color and shape!

Yinyin couldn't help but move even closer, almost touching the green layer.

Why does it look so much like a little butterfly?

As Yinyin thought this, everything in front of her suddenly disappeared, and something seemed to appear in the hand that was touching the divine tree.

The wind stopped, and everything around returned to silence.

Yinyin heard Xuan Nu say, "Yinyin, it's ready."

Zhuque stepped forward: "Yinyin, quickly look at the wooden plaque you got. What name is written on it?"

Yinyin loosened her grip, letting the wooden plaque fall into her other hand.

When she raised her hand again, she could see the words on the wooden sign.

Golden Crow.

Yinyin's brow twitched.

Although the memories and feelings she had experienced had become blurred, Yin Yin had an inexplicable suspicion in her mind.

The worlds she experienced were all interconnected.

The gods did not choose her to come to these worlds without reason.

As for the evidence, Yin Yin thought of that face that looked exactly like hers, and the wings that were almost identical to those of the little butterfly itself. She twirled the wooden plaque in her hand, suppressed her thoughts, and turned away.

“Master,” Yin Yin held the wooden plaque out to Xuan Nu, “it’s the Golden Crow.”

"Golden Crow!" Even more excited than the Mystic Maiden was the Vermilion Bird.

She looked at the wooden sign for a while before finally smiling and saying, "Good Yinyin, you really are meant to be one of us from Pengshan."

Yinyin didn't understand what she meant, but simply stood closer to Xuan Nu.

Xuan Nu shielded Yin Yin behind her and stood in front of Zhu Que herself.

"Senior sister, Yinyin is going back to Yaochi Palace with me."

Upon hearing this, Zhuque looked at Yinyin and a pained expression appeared on her face.

“However,” Xuan Nu said, “perhaps in a year or two, Yin Yin will be able to come back and stay for a longer period of time each year.”

Yin Yin remembered what Xuan Nu had said about how cultivation on Pengshan Mountain was twice as effective with half the effort, so she didn't interrupt.

Zhuque immediately smiled and said, "Sure, Yinyin can come back whenever she wants and stay as long as she wants."

Upon returning to his courtyard, before he had even sat down for a short while, Zhuque sent over many congratulatory gifts.

The stewards and servants who were sent over were all beaming with joy, treating Yin Yin with great respect, and even offering to assign people to serve her.

Yinyin naturally refused this sudden offer of kindness.

After these people left, the courtyard returned to calm.

Yin Yin and Xuan Nu stared at each other for a long time before Yin Yin finally asked, "Master, what's wrong with them? They're all acting strangely from top to bottom."

"Because you have officially become a person of Pengshan and have also been given the name of a divine bird," Xuan Nu thought, and her mood became particularly good. "Before you went, I was particularly worried that you would use flowers and trees as your name."

Knowing that Yin Yin didn't quite understand the difference, Xuan Nu explained to her, "Among the names bestowed by the divine tree, those for flowers and trees are the lowest, while those for immortals are the highest. But there are also distinctions in responsibilities among them."

“As for your senior uncles, who bear the name of divine beasts, they have the responsibility to protect them.”

"Although your Senior Sister Qingluan is an auspicious bird, she is not considered special, so she is second-rate."

"You are not often in Pengshan, so there is no use in memorizing more. Just know that your name, Golden Crow, is very auspicious."

Yinyin nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite: "I'll listen to Master."

Xuan Nu gently ruffled her hair and said softly, "Go practice your skills. By evening, you'll feel a significant difference."

Yinyin agreed and went back to her room, and then Hongyao came in.

“I knew Yinyin was destined for us, but I never expected her to be named the Sun Bird,” Hongyao paused, “Should we ask Jingjing about her wishes?”

“How can we possibly have so many opportunities in this world?” Xuan Nu clearly had no such intention. “Besides, Jingjing is about to get engaged. When she gets old, how can she possibly go out to sea again?”

"Oh, right, I forgot. Jingjing is terrified of the sea," Hongyao said, without any regret on her face. She quickly changed the subject, "Today is Yinyin's happy occasion. Should we have someone prepare a few more dishes to celebrate for her?"

“It’s just the three of us, so we can just add one more dish. Although Yinyin has entered Pengshan, she doesn’t stay here often, so she should avoid attracting attention,” Xuan Nu said. “If you want to celebrate, you can prepare as much of a feast as you like when you return to Yaochi Palace.”

Hongyao glanced outside subconsciously: "Aren't they going to keep Yinyin?"

“What if she wants to stay? Yinyin has parents and relatives outside, and she has her own life,” Xuan Nu picked up her teacup. “Wouldn’t it be better if she came back to stay for a while every year?”

“Since it was agreed long ago that Yin Yin only needs to return her inner strength to the Divine Tree before she dies of old age, with me as her master, no one can persuade or coax Yin Yin to stay here at such an old age.”

Hongyao laughed: "No wonder Yinyin always says you're a good teacher. With how thoughtful you are towards her, how can you not be?"

Xuan Nu gave her a reproachful look: "The longer you spend with Yin Yin, the more you talk like her."

“I’m Yin Yin’s aunt,” Hong Yao raised her eyebrows smugly, then turned and walked out. “I’m going to see if there’s any good seafood. Yin Yin loves to eat these.”

Xuan Nu gave a light snort, waved her hand, and simply closed the door to practice her skills.

After returning to her room from Xuan Nu's place, Yin Yin began practicing her internal energy cultivation technique.

After completing a full cycle of practice, Yin Yin stopped immediately.

Although one cycle is too short, she can definitely feel that her training is now many times faster than before.

When she first came to Pengshan, she found that practicing internal skills there seemed to be a little faster than outside, but the effect was not significant.

But this time, the impact can no longer be ignored like before!

Because the current speed is almost three times faster than the growth rate when I was practicing in Pengshan.

If Yin Yin is a novice who has just entered the first-class master stage and is not yet particularly stable, given some more time, she will be able to completely stabilize her realm and even advance further.

With this discovery, Yin Yin quickly calmed herself down and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the practice.

Just as Xuan Nu had said before, when it came time for dinner that evening, Yin Yin clearly felt that her internal energy had increased slightly compared to before.

Yinyin went out happily and sat down with Xuan Nu. Even their meal tasted better than usual.

After finishing her meal, she couldn't wait to go back to her room and continue practicing her martial arts.

Seeing this, Hongyao couldn't help but shake her head slightly: "You and your master are truly cut from the same cloth."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Nu said, "I think it's good. In this world, only one's own strength is the greatest reliance."

"With Yinyin's kind heart, we won't have to worry about her being bullied by others outside anymore."

After Xuan Nu finished speaking, she also went back to her room to practice her skills.

Hongyao looked at the master and disciple, thought for a moment, packed her things, and went back to her room to practice her skills.

It's really a shame that she's been stuck at the mid-level of a top-tier university for so many years without making much progress.

Now that I'm in Pengshan, it's never a bad thing to work harder.

Three people in one courtyard practiced their skills together until dawn.

In the days that followed, the three of them hardly ever went out. It was only because Zhuque couldn't stand it anymore that he used the name of the Third Elder to get the master and disciple to get together.

As summer drew to a close, Yin Yin's strength showed signs of progressing towards the mid-stage of the first-rate level. Along with Hong Yao, there was also a hint of a breakthrough in her abilities.

Seeing that Yin Yin was reluctant to leave, Xuan Nu smiled and said, "Why don't you stay a little longer?"

Zhuque readily agreed, but Yinyin herself refused.

"My sister is getting engaged in the fall, I can't not go back."

Over the years, Zhuque had almost forgotten that Xuan Nu had a senior disciple because he hadn't seen Lin Jingjing for so long.

All he could do at the moment was to repeatedly remind Yin Yin and her apprentice as they left: "When you come back next year, if you don't have anything else to do, please stay as long as you can."

After leaving Pengshan, Yinyin and the other two returned to the shore and went to the Lin family's shop to retrieve their horses.

Because they came out a few days later this time, the shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them, saying that he had been sending people to the docks to inquire about their whereabouts, fearing that something might have happened to them.

Lin's parents also sent several letters, all inquiring about their safety.

Yin Yin then learned that a hurricane had passed through the area a few days ago, capsizing many ships and causing many deaths.

Knowing she was about to return, Yin Yin didn't write another letter to let Xuan Nu know she was safe. Instead, she rode quickly back to Yunzhou with Xuan Nu.

However, when they arrived near the town where Yin Yin's family lived, Xuan Nu and Hong Yao stopped and told Yin Yin to go back by herself.

Hongyao said, "The Palace Master's congratulatory gift should have already been delivered by Yiren, so we won't go. Let's attend after Jingjing's official wedding."
