Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

How fortunate he was to be born in such an era, yet how unfortunate that he himself was not one of them. Master Zhao sighed softly, not with jealousy, but with envy.

However, looking at the two reports in her hands, Gao Zhun couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart, because both her and Gao Ling's recommended cultivation methods had the same sentence: there is no specific cultivation method available; everything depends on enlightenment and opportunity.

So, this testing platform was made by the Gu family, right? Gao Zhun now has a strong urge to grab her Azure Light Sword and storm the Gu family, even though she, a nobody who has just stepped into the Nascent Soul stage, would definitely be killed before she even gets to the edge of the gate...

After Gao Zhun reviewed the results, he handed them to Gao Shi and the other two. In the end, the only purpose of this test was to determine her and Gao Ling's immortal root attributes and also to test their physiques. Its main function was to provide a general direction for their future cultivation.

However, one shouldn't be too hopeful. Since one possesses Yin-Yang attributes, there are indeed some cultivation techniques available if one is truly interested. However, combining them with the Purple Heaven Thunder Spirit Body creates a significant obstacle. Techniques for dual cultivation of body and mind are increasingly rare, and expecting advice from a testing platform that may not even possess intelligent technology is excessive. As for Gao Ling's chaotic physique and chaotic attribute immortal root, it's obvious that such techniques simply don't exist. Everything will depend on Gao Ling's own exploration in the future.

After reading the results, the three scholars sighed with mixed feelings of joy and worry. They were happy that both of them were exceptionally talented geniuses, but worried that both paths to the supreme path were fraught with difficulties, and they would have to forge their own way to see what lay ahead.

After the test, Gao Shi did not linger and led Gao Zhun and his group towards Fengming Villa. The test results of Gao Zhun and Gao Ling that day became a major mystery among those below the level of special elders in the Gao family. It was not until these two actually made a move and revealed their special abilities that people gradually began to speculate. As for the news that Gao Zhun possessed the Purple Heaven Thunder Spirit Physique, which was already known to everyone, it spread like wildfire and within a few days it had spread throughout the entire Gao family. The upper echelons of the Gao family were also greatly shocked by this. Of course, this is a story for later and will not be discussed here.

“The Phoenix Cry Courtyard and Dragon Cry Courtyard are different from the four other courtyards below them, namely Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum. They are located almost close to the core of the Gao family. The spiritual energy there is abundant and the aura of various cultivations is strong. It should be suitable for the two of you to cultivate.” After walking for half a day, Gao Shi and his group finally crossed the outer courtyard and arrived at the gate leading to the inner courtyard. Fortunately, the courtyard where Gao Zhun had stayed before was not far from the inner courtyard, otherwise they would not have chosen to walk first.

"Crossing this gate leads to the inner courtyard of the Gao family, where all the true core members of the Gao family reside. There are countless geniuses in various fields. Gao Zhun, although you have good talent and can move into the Phoenix Cry Villa as soon as you enter the inner courtyard, whether you can maintain your current position depends on your future performance. You have extraordinary talent, but you don't work hard. If you are overtaken, even if the family head personally intervenes, you will still fall into the second tier." As soon as he stepped into the inner courtyard, Gao Shi changed his previous attitude and began to lecture Gao Zhun in a very serious tone, as if he were an experienced person.

Looking at Gao Shi's earnest face, Gao Zhun felt inexplicably warmed. This person could have easily refrained from saying all that; a few words of flattery would have sufficed. However, at this moment, all flattery was superfluous, especially after knowing that her talent had not yet been fully discovered. Such reverse encouragement was more effective. Therefore, the Gao family's upper echelons had arranged such a dedicated and responsible guide for her, and she should indeed be grateful.

But for now, let's express our gratitude to the person involved.

Gao Zhun bowed respectfully to Gao Shi, saying, "I will always remember what Doctor Gao said today, and I will never forget it."

Upon seeing this, Gao Shi panicked and quickly had Madam Zhu help Gao Zhun straighten up from his bent back. His lingering fear made Gao Zhun very puzzled.

"You can't just bow to your master like that, Gao Zhun. Our clan is not like those sects. We don't have to bow to our elders. You can only bow to your true master, understand?" After Gao Shi finished speaking, he sighed inwardly. Being too polite was not good. It seemed that he still needed to talk to Gao Zhun about etiquette. Sometimes, using etiquette on the wrong person can be fatal.

"Hmm?" Gao Zhun hadn't thought much about it before bowing. He just felt that the scholar was worthy of respect, and he remembered learning such etiquette. He subconsciously did it, but he didn't expect it to go too far and make a fool of himself. However, he was somewhat concerned about the 'real master' the scholar mentioned. Thinking that the other party was the guide and should know a lot, he asked, "Does Doctor Gao know who the master the Gao family has prepared for me is?"

"We'll have to wait until I report your test results on the testing platform, along with some other issues, before the arrangements come down. But I imagine they'll at least assign you a master with a cultivation level of at least the Mahayana stage, and someone whose immortal root attributes will be compatible with yours. In short, they might not assign you the best, but they'll definitely assign you the most suitable one." Thinking back to the master who had led him into the sect, Gao Shi scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. Back then, he was young and impetuous, and he resented that his master didn't hold the same important position as other masters, unable to provide him with more help in various ways, which caused many unpleasant incidents. Now, he wondered how good-natured his master must have been to not kill his ungrateful and foolish disciple with a single blow.

Hearing Gao Shi say this, Gao Zhun felt a little more at ease. Actually, she didn't really care whether her master was a peerless master who was about to transcend tribulation and ascend to immortality. The most important thing was what Gao Shi said: suitability. What suits you is the best.

After entering the inner courtyard, since Fengming Villa was located deep within the inner courtyard, Gao Shi and the others abandoned walking and took out the mode of transportation prepared for them by the higher-ups for this mission—the Purple Jade Phoenix Carriage—from their storage rings. The group boarded this extremely stylish phoenix carriage and sped off towards Fengming Villa.

With such a high-profile mode of transportation, there's no need to worry about people not recognizing Gao Zhun, the newcomer to the inner court. After all, it's a Purple Jade Phoenix Carriage! In the mortal realm, even a concubine would be able to ride in such a carriage. Of course, their phoenix carriage is even more advanced. As the name suggests, it's entirely made of spiritual purple jade. Legend has it that spiritual purple jade has the ability to communicate with immortals and gods, and it's used as a communication tool in both the immortal and divine realms. However, the immortal and divine realms are not the same as their own realm of living beings, so whether the legend is true or not remains unknown.

Speaking of this, it's worth mentioning that the vast Immortal Continent comprises six realms: the Human Realm, the Demon Realm, the Monster Realm, the Immortal Realm, the God Realm, and the Underworld. The Human Realm, Demon Realm, and Monster Realm belong to the same plane and are often collectively referred to as the Realm of Living Beings. This Realm of Living Beings is what everyone often refers to as the Immortal Continent. As for the Immortal Realm, God Realm, and Underworld, those are three other realms at different levels, requiring different conditions to enter. However, the Underworld is the easiest to enter. As long as one's vital energy is extinguished but the soul remains, the remnant soul will be guided into the Underworld. Isn't that simple? Just die.

After entering the inner courtyard, Gao Shi was extremely low-key in everything except for using her mode of transportation to openly declare her identity as Gao Zhun. Gao Zhun understood that this was for her own good. If a newcomer was too arrogant, someone would immediately come out to give her a good talking-to. In order to prevent her from having a difficult time in the future, it was better to keep a low profile.

The Purple Jade Phoenix Chariot was incredibly fast. Gao Zhun estimated it to be about ten times the speed of her sword flight. Previously, her sword flight speed was about one-third of the speed of sound. So, they were now traveling through the inner courtyard at three times the speed of sound. If this were on Earth, the sonic boom would definitely resound throughout the world. Unfortunately, this was the Immortal Spirit Continent, where sonic booms didn't exist. This was probably related to the world laws of the Immortal Spirit Continent.

The Purple Jade Phoenix Carriage traveled through the inner courtyard at three times the speed of sound for almost an hour before Gao Shi began to consider landing it. Gao Zhun and A Zhong, who were entering the Gao family's inner courtyard for the first time, were both amazed by its vastness. Although the number of people in the inner courtyard was only a fraction of that in the outer courtyard, the area it occupied was dozens of times larger. Should we say that the Gao family, as the first family of inheritance, was extravagant? Extravagant or extravagant?

Finally, Gao Shi landed the Purple Jade Phoenix Carriage in the center of one of the courtyards of the Phoenix Cry Villa. After getting off the carriage, he said, "From now on, this will be your home. This place has not yet been named. Gao Zhun, if you have a name you like, you can write the plaque yourself. There is no need to report it."

"Huh? You're choosing the name and writing the plaque yourself?"

Unexpectedly, Gao Shi found that Gao Zhun was not very happy, but instead looked very troubled. He looked at Madam Zhu in confusion, only to see her shake her head and say, "Zhun'er seems to be very bad at naming things. It's really difficult for her to write a plaque for this courtyard herself."

Hearing what Lady Zhu said, Gao Shi was also taken aback. He did not expect that Gao Zhun would have such a weakness. It was just a matter of choosing a name. Was it that difficult?

"There's no rush to inscribe a plaque or anything like that. We can do it when we've decided on something. Now, let me show you around so you can live here long-term."
