Rebirth of a Quasi-Immortal Spirit

As Gao Zhun was finishing up, Yun Mu Ning saw him. She leaned closer to take a look, and said with a mix of realization and confusion, "Is this what you meant by doing?"

Gao Zhun nodded: "Yes and no, this is just preliminary data collection. Sigh, it would be great if we could also collect data on islands visited by other people."

As he spoke, Gao Zhun sighed with great regret.

When Gao Zhun looked up, he noticed that Yun Mu Ning's eyes were a little strange. What was with that look of scrutinizing the silly roe deer?

Seeing Gao Zhun still looking confused under her gaze, Yun Mu Ning shook her head with a hint of exasperation, saying, "Communication Jade Disc, Communication Jade Disc. What's the point of the name if it can't be used for communication? In this secret realm, all communication tools can be used, but there aren't many like the one Fellow Daoist Gu made, which can display the location of others who possess the same communication jade disc. No, you could say it's unique. After all, in this vast ocean, without coordinates and without knowing directions, having a communication stone is useless..."

After Yun Mu Ning finished speaking, Gao Zhun's eyes lit up, and he said self-deprecatingly, "I'm really stupid."

Someone turned to thank Yun Mu Ning, but the words were cut off by her expression that said, "You're absolutely right."

"I won't argue with people who have amnesia, I won't argue with people who have amnesia, I won't argue with people who have amnesia." After silently repeating this sentence three times in his heart, Gao Zhun finally calmed down. He cast a spell and sent what he wanted to say, along with the template he had already made, to the other eight points displayed on the communication jade disc. He didn't send anything to Yun Mu Ning; she was just throwing a tantrum. Wasn't she complaining that he didn't know anything?

This time, Yun Mu Ning will also experience what it's like to know nothing. He won't tell her his own ideas, leaving her completely bewildered in the end.

Gao Zhun's inner demons raged for a while before she felt much better. Just as she was about to speak, Yun Mu Ning said, "Let's go. We'll fly towards the nearest island. If we encounter any islands along the way, we'll go down and gather information. I roughly know what you're planning to do. I didn't expect you to be so useful. How come no one has ever thought of such a method before?"

Gao Zhun was speechless. He had promised not to tell Yun Mu Ning, leaving her completely bewildered. Why did she figure it out herself?

From the very beginning, Gao Zhun had the idea of ​​finding patterns. By looking for patterns, he would find commonalities among the places where Enlightenment Fruits could be grown. Then he would analyze which island or region was most suitable for the growth of Enlightenment Fruits, and then go there. The places found by using scientific methods would not be the same as those blindly searching by many cultivators.

Unexpectedly, Yun Mu Ning had guessed this based on what she had done. However, Gao Zhun was still somewhat relieved because Yun Mu Ning had overlooked what he had said at the beginning: she hadn't come here to find the Enlightenment Fruit. So, even after she found the location based on the pattern, she wasn't actually after the Enlightenment Fruit. As for her true purpose, it wasn't mentioned in the message she had just sent out. Therefore, even if someone secretly told Yun Mu Ning, she wouldn't be able to connect it to that.

However, after taking only a few steps, Yun Muning paused, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Gao Zhun, exclaiming with delight, "You're not just not useless, you're practically a genius! As long as we find the most suitable place for the Enlightenment Fruit to grow before the last month, and considering that rumor, the place we find will definitely be a location without any warning, undiscovered by anyone, and might not even be on an island. So, perhaps the ripening cycle of the Enlightenment Fruit isn't actually ten years, but just one month. Since the Enlightenment Fruit can ripen in a month, the Dao of that place must be extraordinary. If we can meditate and experience the Dao of Heaven there for that month, wouldn't that be better than consuming the Enlightenment Fruit? After all, the Enlightenment Fruit is just a plant; it selects and accumulates its own Dao, but it may not be entirely suitable for us. If we go there to comprehend and select it ourselves… No wonder you kept saying your ambitions weren't in the Enlightenment Fruit. Qiu Bai is absolutely right. Luckily, I didn't make things difficult for you, and luckily, Fellow Daoist Gu and the others insisted on bringing you into our team. Otherwise, not only would it be difficult for you to succeed alone, but if you were taken by another team, wouldn't we suffer a huge loss?!"

Gao Zhun's lips twitched; he practically wanted to explode. When did Yun Mu Ning become so smart and analytical?!

With such a small clue, they were able to guess most of her plans. And this wasn't just not making things difficult for her; it was practically making things incredibly difficult for her!

She really wanted Yun Mu Ning to experience asking stupid questions when she knew nothing, but why couldn't fate grant her wish?

In fact, among the ten people in this group, apart from Gao Zhun who had planned this all along, only Yun Mu Ning had realized Gao Zhun's purpose. Although the others were overjoyed after learning about Gao Zhun's plan, they only thought that they had found a place where no one would compete for the Dao Fruit and where many Enlightenment Fruits would be produced.

"However, this final location is indeed a problem. We have analyzed the most suitable place for the growth of the Enlightenment Fruit, but how can we find the location if we can't pinpoint it? Wouldn't that mean we won't be able to find that place?"

Since he couldn't trick Yun Mu Ning anymore, Gao Zhun asked one last question, only to be met with Yun Mu Ning's disdainful look. She was so disgusted that she didn't even want to speak. With a thought, a jade disc appeared in her hand. Gao Zhun subconsciously looked at her communication jade disc and saw a green dot appear near her red dot. In the distance, some green dots also appeared in the places where red dots had appeared before. At this moment, she was truly dumbfounded if she still didn't know what was going on.

Why didn't she use her mind to check the communication disc when Gu Xinling handed it to her?

This communication jade disc not only has communication and location display functions, but also contains a ring space filled with ordinary jade discs that display location without the communication function. Its original purpose was naturally to mark the places where Enlightenment Fruits were found. Now that they no longer need to compete with others for these visible Enlightenment Fruits, it can still be used to display location. In the future, they can use these green dots to identify directions in this endless sea.

After being dealt a severe blow during training, Gao Zhun declared that she no longer wanted to speak to Yun Mu Ning. Sure enough, being teleported to the same island as Yun Mu Ning was an extremely unlucky thing. Waaah, she missed Ah Zhong. If it were Ah Zhong, he would never have looked down on her like that.

What Gao Zhun didn't know was that Ah Zhong already knew what kind of person she was, and had already silently despised her in his heart. Now, no matter what question he was asked, he wouldn't be fooled by her stupidity.

After traveling and stopping for a while, Gao Zhun and Yun Mu Ning collected information on five more islands before encountering the second team of two red dots. Together, the two teams had a total of ten sets of data. Moreover, what was even more gratifying was that Gao Zhun no longer had to travel with Yun Mu Ning, because one of the people in the second team they encountered was Wu Ya Qiu Bai.

However, life is full of disappointments. The other person was Qin Hanyuan. For some reason, when he arrived in the secret realm, Qin Hanyuan carried his Jiaowei Qin on his back. Hanyue was always by his side. However, only Qin Hanyuan, who had reached the state of oneness with the Qin, and Gao Zhun, who had the Eye of Truth, could see Hanyue.

So when Gao Zhun and Han Yue greeted each other, not to mention Yun Mu Ning, even Wu Ya Qiu Bai, who had been with Qin Han Yuan for more than half a month, was startled. After a discussion, Yun Mu Ning and Wu Ya Qiu Bai realized that Qin Han Yuan's Han Yue Jiao Wei Qin and Yun Mu Ning's Tian Hua Huan Jing were both treasures with spirits.

The arrival of Gao Zhun, the person who could see Han Yue, made Qin Hanyuan and Han Yue very happy. Only Gao Zhun herself had a bitter pill to swallow. After all, she had once had a crush on Qin Hanyuan. Although it was in the past, it was unclear whether she still had a crush on him now. But seeing her crush and his girlfriend happily smiling at her, a third wheel who had once coveted one of them, Gao Zhun felt very complicated.

Along the way, Gao Zhun carefully concealed his thoughts. Sure enough, Qin Hanyuan, Yun Muning, and Han Yue (Han Yue could be considered one person) did not notice anything amiss. However, Wu Yaqiubai, who knew that Gao Zhun had been infatuated with Qin Hanyuan, did notice something fishy. So, before meeting the next team, she would occasionally leave Yun Muning and insert herself between Gao Zhun and Qin Hanyuan to ease the tension.

Of course, this happened only occasionally and very rarely, no more than five times in total. However, Gao Zhun still attracted countless warning glances from Yun Mu Ning, who was so frightened that she had to send a telepathic message to Wu Ya Qiu Bai, begging her not to get involved, thus avoiding the torment of being slowly tortured by her glares.

Fortunately, the distances everyone was teleported to were not very far this time. By the time everyone had gathered, only two months had passed since the opening of the secret realm. The ten of them spent another month collecting data on nearly thirty new islands, which, together with the original ones, made a total of one hundred and three islands. In the end, the ten of them divided the work and managed to compile all the data in just half a month.

"Based on all the data, it appears that the most significant influences are climate and ocean currents, with little to do with islands. This is because the Enlightenment Fruit requires soil to grow. However, unfortunately, the data shows that the most suitable place for the Enlightenment Fruit to grow this time is precisely not on an island." (166 Reading Network)
