Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

In the end, Gao Zhun wasn't exactly someone who had absolutely no luck. Fortunately, the Gao family had always had a rule that Gao family members above the Foundation Establishment stage could use the family's teleportation array to go to various cities for training. These cities were different from the cities in ancient China. Each city was actually the size of a planet, and most were larger than Earth. If it was smaller than Earth, then congratulations, it was definitely a very barren city with extremely scarce spiritual energy for cultivators. And that was exactly the kind of city Gao Zhun wanted to go to.

After bidding farewell to Madam Zhu, Gao Zhun arrived at the family's teleportation site. Along the way, Gao Zhun saw mostly agile young men, at least at the Golden Core stage, but no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Of course, there were also Nascent Soul cultivators who were nearly fifty. These were naturally the group of people who missed the opportunity to enter the direct lineage because they had not achieved Nascent Soul before the age of twenty. However, Gao Zhun rubbed her forehead. Could someone tell her why she could see through the cultivation levels of those people at a glance? What happened to the ironclad rule that cultivators cannot see the cultivation levels of experts who are higher than themselves?

This was the first time Gao Zhun had realized his own unusual nature. But what use was such a pair of Heavenly Eyes? He could clearly see he couldn't win… so he resorted to empty boasting? He unleashed his taunts on someone whose actual cultivation was late-stage Golden Core, but who was pretending to be a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator: "Stop pretending, I know you're actually late-stage Golden Core, mwahahahaha…"

This is definitely suicide...

Gao Zhun wasn't particularly pleased with this skill, which was practically useless since she couldn't cultivate normally. She could only walk along dejectedly. For someone dressed as a member of a collateral branch, with a cultivation level barely at the Foundation Establishment stage and not even at the Jade Mansion stage, no one passing by even bothered to cause trouble. Thus, Gao Zhun arrived at the Gao family's teleportation array area without any hindrance. Looking at the sea of ​​people queuing up—whether they were planning to train, do missions, or be sent out to guard important cities—she had no interest. She simply stood silently at the back of the line, patiently waiting for her turn.

Number 380~

Hearing a member of the Gao family shouting out the number on the teleportation array, Gao Zhun walked over. He appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he cursed the number a thousand times.

"Gao Zhun, a member of a collateral branch, has just achieved Foundation Establishment, huh..."

Gao Zhun asked in confusion, "Hmm?"

"Hmm," the man glanced at the identity card Gao Zhun handed over, pointed to a piece of text that was still in red, and said, "Gao Zhun, you still have battle reward points to claim. Do you want to go to the Battle Pavilion to claim them now, or exchange them here for some necessities for your training trip?"

Reminded by the other party, Gao Zhun then remembered that she had done a meritorious job in fighting against the demons. After all, she had delayed the demons for a certain amount of time and held out until the family experts arrived and killed the demons. Delaying a demon expert at the Mahayana stage was quite an achievement. Thinking of the few spirit stones in her storage ring, she made up her mind and said, "I will exchange three-tenths of these achievements for low-grade spirit stones, three-tenths for mid-grade spirit stones, three-tenths for high-grade spirit stones, and one-tenth for spirit crystals."

Hearing Gao Zhun's request, the other party, though finding it strange, still complied, handing her a spirit stone pouch. Like some storage containers, these spirit stone pouches were designed to prevent soul penetration, although someone who seemed to have activated a useless cheat code could vaguely see inside…

In the Immortal Spirit Continent, the exchange rate between spirit stones of each grade is 100. Gao Zhun's previous battle achievements could be exchanged for approximately ten spirit crystals. After obtaining them, she would have 3000000 low-grade spirit stones, 30000 mid-grade spirit stones, 300 high-grade spirit stones, and one spirit crystal. Combined with the two spirit crystals she already possessed, this would be an enormous fortune in some impoverished cities, enough to attract thousands to kill and plunder, provided that the other party was unaware that she was a member of the Gao family.

It wasn't that Gao Zhun didn't want to use these battle achievements to directly exchange for the rare and precious pills she needed. After all, she had obtained ten thousand battle achievements, which was more than enough to cover some powerful soul-cleansing pills. However, having experienced being framed and killed on Earth for being too assertive, she would never again do anything beyond her capabilities. Exchanging for a pill that cost at least eight thousand battle achievements, which was clearly beyond her current cultivation level and far beyond her means, would be incredibly foolish for her. She would rather hope for those elusive and rare encounters scattered throughout the Immortal Spirit Continent…

After receiving the spirit stone pouch, Gao Zhun threw it into his storage ring without even looking at it, and then entered the teleportation array alone.

Gao Zhun was quite satisfied with some of the characteristics of the Gao family's teleportation array. Not to mention its speed and high security, its confidentiality was definitely worth mentioning. This was also the difference between the family and the sects. Each family member who used the teleportation array did not need to report. They could choose where they wanted to go after entering the array. No one outside the array could know where the person inside was. So Gao Zhun felt at ease choosing an extremely barren city - Yongcheng.

With a flash of light from the teleportation array, Gao Zhun's figure disappeared from the spot and instantly appeared in a desolate mountain in Yongcheng. Since Gao Zhun's purpose was to gain experience, otherwise he would definitely have appeared in the Yongcheng Imperial Palace or the teleportation array of the largest sect.

The following day, an elder of the Gao family was looking through the teleportation records automatically generated by the teleportation array the previous day when his gaze fell on a name—Gao Zhun.

"Yongcheng, Yong means harmony and peace. Gao Zhun? That's interesting. Did she choose the same place as her father when she went out to gain experience? Did Madam Zhu say something, or did she choose it herself? If it's the latter... then that's even more interesting, hehe..."

Once the light from the teleportation array faded, Gao Zhun stepped out. After scanning the area with his divine sense and finding no one around, he quickly changed out of his clothes, which belonged to a collateral branch of the Gao family. He wanted to gain some experience; if people knew his identity and the power he belonged to, what good would it do?

Although she didn't believe that any members of the Gao family had ever visited this barren city, she had heard that when the Gao family members went out to train, they would at least choose medium-sized cities. Her choice of Yongcheng, which was about the size of the Earth, was absolutely unique. As for the fact that her father, whose memory was vague, had come to Yongcheng to train when he was young, not only did Gao Zhun not know, but even Madam Zhu did not know, and Gao Zhilin had never mentioned it to her.

Fortunately, although Gao Zhun has outstanding features, he has not yet shown his full brilliance at this age. In addition, influenced by some messy novels, all the clothes she prepared for this trip at the Gao family were men's clothing. Now, her small body, which has not yet begun to develop, is indeed a handsome young man dressed in men's clothing. He is just over 1.6 meters tall, with bright eyes and white teeth, and sword-like eyebrows. What an extraordinary young man.

She casually used the sunlight to create a mirror as tall as herself, and after admiring herself from every angle, Gao Zhun began her journey in Yongcheng.

Whether he was imitating a TV series or a novel, Gao Zhun walked along the deserted official road with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, acting like a mischievous boy. He muttered to himself, "Sigh~ This thin spiritual energy. I can cultivate faster in the outhouse of my little courtyard than here. And what kind of official road is this? There isn't a soul in sight, not even a ghost. I don't know if choosing Yongcheng as my training ground was the right or wrong decision."

Gao Zhun did not choose to fly on her sword. Originally, with the Gao family's top-notch cultivation method and the "Azure Glazed Sword Technique," flying on a sword would have been no problem for her, who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage. However, she was a mediocre Foundation Establishment cultivator. Without the Jade Palace, her true qi circulation speed was barely at the mid-level of Qi Refining. How could she afford the true qi consumption of flying on a sword?!

The inability to fly on a sword is not a big deal, but what's with this desolate place with no people and not even a roadside teahouse?

So, where exactly in Yongcheng was she transported by the Gao family's teleportation array? She hasn't encountered a single native of Yongcheng yet. How is she, an outsider, supposed to find her way around and seek her own immortal destiny?

"What a terrible place, what a terrible place..." Gao Zhun, filled with resentment, began to question his life again. "Tell me, why did I choose such a terrible place? I seriously suspect that the concentration of spiritual energy here will directly knock my cultivation level down to the Foundation Establishment stage. This is really troublesome. Should I turn back and return to the Gao family through that formation?"

Despite her constant muttering, Gao Zhun's steps remained unwavering, showing no intention of turning back. This clearly demonstrates that the girl was also a hypocrite.

She wandered aimlessly along the official road for three days. Fortunately, Gao Zhun would mutter a few words from time to time, otherwise she would have suspected that she was going to become mute and lose her most basic social skills.

After three days of trekking, Gao Zhun finally saw a different kind of scenery, and she also learned why the road was so desolate. Facing the vast desert at the end of the official road, she silently turned her head and gave the middle finger to the direction of the teleportation array. An official road that ended in the desert—no wonder there wasn't a soul on the road, and no inns or teahouses along the way. It seems that places like the Dragon Gate Inn only exist in movies.

However, Gao Zhun did not turn back, but walked straight into the desert. Although she did not have a fire-type spiritual root like her father, she was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a desert was not a problem for her.
