Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

"Hey, hey, let me tell you, he introduced himself to me like that, with such a gentle smile, and even asked me who I was." Excitedly returning to Wuya Qiubai's room, Yun Muning had already gone back to Akomo's place, and the sour smell in the room had dissipated quite a bit. Thinking slyly that the wheel of fortune had turned, it was her turn to show off. So Gao Zhun recounted to Wuya Qiubai in detail how he heard the zither music in the garden and then met Qin Hanyuan in the next courtyard. As he spoke, his eyes shone brightly, as if they could sprout hearts at any moment.

Wu Yaqiu looked at Gao Zhun with disgust: "Stop with that infatuated face of yours, it's disgusting. Please stop using those high-class eyes to glare at me with such disgusting light."

After thoroughly insulting Gao Zhun, Wu Yaqiu felt the blow wasn't enough, so she continued, "I told you, from your initial description, I guessed the other party might be Qin Hanyuan from the String Sound Sect. Gao Zhun, I advise you to give up on that idea. Do you know how many people in the entire Immortal Spirit Continent have feelings for Qin Hanyuan? How many want to have him? How many are determined to possess him? And how many actually taste even a little bit of success?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Zhun shook her head dumbfounded. What a failure! She couldn't answer a single one of the many questions.

Seeing this, Wu Yaqiu smiled sarcastically: "I'm not sure about the answers to the first few questions either, but for the last one, I can answer you with absolute certainty: not a single one! Do you know that Qin Hanyuan is the senior disciple of the newest generation of disciples in the String Sound Sect, highly regarded by the sect elders and even the sect leader? When he just achieved the Golden Core stage, he obtained the ancient Jiao Wei Qin, Hanyue. The sect leader of the String Sound Sect even said that Hanyue and Hanyuan sound similar, so Qin Hanyuan must be very destined for Hanyue, silencing the gossips of the String Sound Sect. Do you also know that Qin Hanyuan, now at the peak of the Golden Core stage, has already reached the realm of 'Supreme Goodness Like Water,' just one step away from achieving the unity of man and zither? If nothing unexpected happens, he will achieve it before reaching the Nascent Soul stage. And how far are you from achieving the unity of man and sword?"

"My current 'Azure Glazed Sword' has just entered the minor completion stage. As for the realm and such, it hasn't been reached yet..." Gao Zhun replied with a frustrated look.

Gao Zhun, who knew very little about sects, was truly surprised that Qin Hanyuan was so outstanding. Such achievements, placed in a clan, would be like being placed in their Gao family. So what if she had a Golden Core cultivation level? She would definitely be a direct descendant. If her cultivation level was high enough in the future, it would be a matter of course for her to become one of the thousand core disciples. Perhaps she would achieve much more. Compared to this, her noble background seemed to be nothing. She was just an ugly duckling. Well, judging from Wu Yaqiubai's tone, even among Qin Hanyuan's suitors, she, who was currently powerless and without influence in the Gao family, was not even ranked.

Oh dear, what am I going to do? The first time I've ever suspected I've fallen for someone is with a man like this. I used to think I was a pure, innocent lily, but in this Immortal Spirit Continent where strange laws suppress everything, being an ordinary heterosexual is much easier. Thinking about it that way, I'm not so conflicted anymore. Besides, Qin Hanyuan is definitely the kind of person who could instantly transform into a fairy if he dressed as a woman. If I could win him over, satisfying my lesbian desires wouldn't be a problem at all.

However, isn't the most important issue now that there's absolutely no chance of success?

"Wait, you just said 'the highest good is like water'?" Gao Zhun suddenly exclaimed.

Wuya Qiubai sighed and rolled her eyes at Gao Zhun: "You finally realized it. You heard right, he has entered the realm of 'Supreme Goodness is Like Water.' As a cultivator, you should all understand such a realm. To put it bluntly, a man who enters this realm is like a monk, and a woman is like a nun. He has already purified his six senses and is almost beyond emotion. You want to pursue him? Sorry, have you ever seen a devout Buddhist monk return to secular life?"

Gao Zhun said somewhat helplessly, "Ahhh, he's such a perfect male god, how can he be so indifferent? I'd rather he were gay! That way I could be a CP fan. Although I don't have much affection for gay people, if one of the partners is Qin Hanyuan, I would try to accept it."

"Give? Xipi dog? **?" Wuya Qiubai looked at Gao Zhun strangely: "You always use words that I can't understand. I don't know where you get them from. Why don't you read more proper books instead of wasting your time?"

Gao Zhun was speechless at Wu Yaqiubai's lecturing. She hadn't even read it from unofficial historical records! However, explaining things like time travel and rebirth was far too troublesome, and even she herself felt it was more like a disguised form of possession. Who knew if Wu Yaqiubai would see her as an evil cultivator after she revealed it? Moreover, what people needed wasn't a Gao Zhun from another world, but a Gao Zhun from a great cultivation family. If she rashly revealed her identity, it might lead to the termination of the cooperation. She was hoping to use this cooperation to build connections among the foreign cultivators in the alliance.

"Anyway, you just need to know that I think it's a waste of talent for a man like that to actually be like water, so virtuous and gentle. But whatever, I have no intention of finding someone to cultivate with. I'm perfectly content just admiring his good looks. Anyway, if I can't have someone like that, then nobody can either, right?"

Wuya Qiubai glanced at Gao Zhun and said with a smile, "You're not very old, but you're more open-minded than many people. You can take things on and let them go. You're a promising talent."

"Thank you for the compliment." Gao Zhun then bowed respectfully to Wu Yaqiubai, much like a disciple performing the apprenticeship ceremony. However, she did indeed have some cultivation-related matters she wanted to ask him about—specifically, her Eye of Truth. Originally, she had planned to consult Xuan Yuan Huanyu, who possessed the Emperor's True Eye, but now that she was with the Alliance, asking Wu Yaqiubai, who possessed the Blood Prison, was no different. It just wasn't now. Recalling Yun Mu Ning's murderous look after Wu Yaqiubai after reading a few books, if she allowed him to painstakingly teach her how to control her special eye before his soul had recovered, and was discovered, she would likely be devoured alive by that woman, Yun Mu Ning.

Seeing that Gao Zhun still had the mind to joke around with her, Wu Yaqiu quickly analyzed the situation in her mind and said her conclusion: "Actually, I think you don't really like Qin Hanyuan. At most, it can only be called a liking, or maybe not even a liking, it's just that the other person looks like your type."

"Huh?" Gao Zhun was a little confused after Wu Yaqiubai said that. She had never been in a relationship before, the kind of person who had only seen the pig run but never actually experienced it. But how could she judge something that involved personal feelings if she had only seen it? However, she didn't experience the usual descriptions of love, such as a tightness in her heart, a tightness in her chest, or emotions overflowing in her chest. Apart from her rapid heartbeat, there was really nothing to support her opinion that she liked Qin Hanyuan. If that was the case, then it was probably true, as Wu Yaqiubai said, that she just liked his piano playing, his temperament, and his looks. Well, to put it simply and bluntly, she was just a fangirl who had fallen for Qin Hanyuan's good looks.

Tsk tsk, Gao Zhun really didn't expect to become a fangirl who became a face-obsessed person. She always thought of herself as a simple face-obsessed person who liked any kind of beauty filter. Isn't that just like some of those star-chasing girls on Earth?

However, her current body is only thirteen years old, a genuine young girl, so it's not surprising that she has some girlish characteristics, right?

This person is clearly a strange auntie whose soul is thirty years old but who has never been in love. At this moment, she is deceiving herself, telling herself that she is still a young girl. If Wuya Qiubai, who is also thirty years old and right in front of her, knew this, her response would probably be more than just disdain.

"Alright, alright, let's not dwell on those troublesome things. The most urgent thing now is to help you replenish your excessively depleted soul power. I have some pills I brought from the Gao family. Some of them should be useful, right? I'm not very familiar with this kind of thing." As he spoke, Gao Zhun took out some of each kind of pill from his storage ring and placed them one by one in front of Wu Yaqiubai, saying generously, "Tell me if you need any of these pills, and I'll give them to you."

"deliver?"

"Am I seeing things?" Gao Zhun rubbed his eyes. Why did it seem like Wu Yaqiubai's eyes were filled with spirit crystals?

"Of course, these pills were borrowed in advance from the Gao family's medicine storehouse so that I could advance to the Nascent Soul stage smoothly. They are now useless. If you need any of them, I can give them all to you without hesitation."

"all?"

This time, Gao Zhun was certain she hadn't misread it; indeed, the light of spirit crystals shone in Wu Ya Qiu Bai's eyes. Thinking about the decline of the other party's family, she sighed inwardly and kept only some essential healing pills. She had Wu Ya Qiu Bai stuff the rest, whether useful or not, into her storage ring.

Looking at Wuya Qiubai, who was squinting her eyes and saying with a happy expression, "With these top-grade pills from the Gao family, my sisters can advance faster. We can also exchange the rest for spirit stones on the black market to buy some weapons and armor for them," Gao Zhun smiled. Why did this little girl seem so adorably greedy? However, being Wuya Qiubai's sister was truly a blessing. She had such a good older sister who, even while lying in bed recovering from illness, didn't forget about them. She clearly needed these pills more than anyone else, yet she didn't mention them at all.

However, it was Gao Zhun's fault for not mentioning it, as Wu Yaqiu was the one who didn't. So she put on a serious face and said, "I will try my best to provide you with pills and such when I return to the Gao family, so you don't need to worry about your sisters' cultivation. However, the most important thing now is to take good care of your body."
