Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

On Changliu Mountain, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. Tang Bao lay on the bed, her face as pale as paper, her breath weak. Hua Qiangu stood guard by the bedside, her eyes filled with anxiety and self-reproach.

"Tang Bao, you must hold on! It's all my fault for not protecting you properly." Hua Qiangu's voice was choked with sobs, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Sha Qianmo paced back and forth, his brows furrowed: "This Shadow Cult is truly despicable! Xiao Gu, don't worry too much, Tang Bao is a lucky person and will be blessed by heaven."

Ni Mantian also looked guilty: "It's all my fault. If I were stronger, Tang Bao wouldn't have gotten hurt while saving me."

Dongfang Yuqing gently shook his head: "Now is not the time to blame ourselves. We need to find a way to save Tangbao."

The patriarch stepped forward and carefully examined Tang Bao's injuries, his expression grave: "Tang Bao's injuries are extremely serious, and ordinary healing methods will probably be ineffective. I once saw a spiritual herb in an ancient book called the Rejuvenating Sacred Herb, which grows in the Lingxu Cave atop the Sea of ​​Clouds. It might be able to save Tang Bao's life, but the place is fraught with danger, filled with powerful restrictions and ferocious beasts."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu stood up without hesitation: "No matter how dangerous it is, I must find the Rejuvenating Herb!"

Shuofeng quickly said, "Xiaogu, I'll go with you. The journey will surely be fraught with difficulties and dangers; it's too dangerous for you to go alone."

You Ruo also said eagerly, "I want to go too! Tang Bao is our friend, I can't just stand by and watch something happen to her."

Bai Zihua nodded in agreement: "Alright, you must be careful on your journey. Sha Qianmo and I will stay at Changliu Mountain to continue stabilizing Tang Bao's injuries and guard against a counterattack from the remaining forces of the Shadow Cult."

Hua Qiangu looked at everyone gratefully: "Thank you everyone, we will definitely bring back the Rejuvenating Sacred Grass as soon as possible."

Thus, Hua Qiangu, Shuofeng, and You Ruo embarked on their journey to the summit of the sea of ​​clouds. Along the way, they endured wind and rain, traveling day and night.

As they walked through a dense forest, You Ruo grabbed Hua Qian Gu's hand with some fear: "Sister Xiao Gu, this forest feels eerie, is there any danger?"

Shuofeng comforted her, "Youruo, don't be afraid, we're here. Just be vigilant."

Suddenly, a huge black leopard pounced down from the tree, opening its blood-red maw to bite them.

Shuofeng reacted quickly, stepping in front to fight the black panther: "You guys find an opportunity to get around to its back and attack!"

Hua Qiangu and You Ruo exchanged a glance, then flanked the black panther from both sides. Hua Qiangu wielded the Sword of Light, the light emanating from its blade making the black panther wary.

"Take this!" Hua Qiangu shouted, thrusting her sword at the black panther. The black panther nimbly dodged, then turned and pounced on You Ruo.

In her panic, You Ruo cast a spell, and a beam of light struck the black panther's leg. The black panther roared in pain.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shuofeng unleashed his ultimate move, punching the black panther in the head and knocking it back.

"Is everyone alright?" Shuofeng asked.

Hua Qiangu and You Ruo shook their heads: "It's alright, thanks to Shuofeng for your quick reaction."

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the summit of the sea of ​​clouds. The place was shrouded in mist, dreamlike and ethereal, but danger lurked everywhere.

The Lingxu Cave was just ahead, but the entrance was shrouded in a powerful restriction.

Hua Qiangu attempted to break the restriction with the Sword of Light: "This restriction is so strong, but I won't give up."

She channeled all her spiritual power into the Sword of Light, causing it to shine brightly, but the restriction only trembled slightly.

You Ruo said anxiously from the side, "This won't do, we have to think of another way."

Shuofeng observed the barrier, and after thinking for a moment, said, "I think this barrier is related to the surrounding clouds and mist. We can try to disturb these clouds and mist, and maybe we can find a weakness."

So the three of them divided the work. Hua Qiangu and Shuofeng attacked the clouds and mist, while You Ruo observed the changes in the restriction from the side.

After some effort, the clouds and mist began to become disordered, and the restriction began to loosen slightly.

"Now!" Hua Qiangu seized the opportunity and once again wielded the Sword of Light, successfully breaking through the restriction.

They cautiously entered the Lingxu Cave. A mysterious aura permeated the cave, and various strange lights flickered within.

"Everyone be careful, there might be other dangers in this cave," Shuofeng warned.

Deep within the cave, they finally found the Rejuvenating Herb. The Rejuvenating Herb emitted a soft light, as if it contained boundless vitality.

Hua Qiangu was overjoyed: "Great! We've finally found it! Let's hurry back and save Tang Bao."

Just as they were about to pick the Rejuvenating Herb, a guardian beast rushed out from the side. This guardian beast resembled a Qilin and exuded powerful spiritual energy.

"How dare you trespass into the Spirit Void Cave and try to steal the Rejuvenating Sacred Grass! Don't even think about it!" the guardian beast roared.

Hua Qiangu hurriedly said, "Guardian Beast, our friend is seriously injured and urgently needs the Rejuvenating Herb to save his life. Please make an exception."

The guardian beast remained unmoved: "How dare you take the treasures of this Spirit Void Cave so easily? Unless you can defeat me!"

Having said that, the guardian beast launched an attack on them. Its power was extremely strong, and each attack was accompanied by powerful spiritual energy fluctuations.

Shuofeng went to meet him: "Xiaogu, you and Youruo try to pick the Rejuvenating Herb first, I'll hold it off!"

The north wind and the guardian beast engaged in a fierce battle, and for a time they were evenly matched.

Hua Qiangu and You Ruo took the opportunity to approach the Rejuvenating Sacred Grass. However, some small restrictive traps suddenly appeared around them.

You Ruo accidentally triggered a trap, and a bolt of electricity struck her.

"You Ruo!" Hua Qiangu quickly helped You Ruo up.

You Ruo gritted her teeth and said, "Sister Xiao Gu, I'm fine. We need to break through these traps quickly."

Using her spiritual power, Hua Qiangu carefully navigated the traps. Finally, they successfully avoided all the traps and arrived at the Rejuvenating Herb.

Hua Qiangu gently plucked the Rejuvenating Herb: "Rejuvenating Herb, I hope you can save Tang Bao."

At this moment, the north wind was gradually becoming no match for the guardian beast.

"Xiao Gu, you guys go quickly! I can't hold on much longer!" Shuo Feng shouted.

Hua Qiangu looked at Shuofeng, her heart filled with conflict. But thinking of Tang Bao who was still waiting to be saved, she gritted her teeth and said, "Shuofeng, hold on, we'll wait for you outside the cave!"

Then, she grabbed You Ruo and rushed out of Lingxu Cave with the Rejuvenating Herb.

After waiting outside the cave for a while, Shuofeng finally managed to get rid of the guardian beast and came out of the cave.

"Let's go, let's go back to Changliu Mountain!" Hua Qiangu said.

They rushed back to Changliu Mountain without stopping. Upon arriving at the mountain, they immediately handed the Rejuvenating Herb over to their patriarch.

The patriarch quickly used the Rejuvenating Herb to refine elixirs to heal Tang Bao's injuries.

Everyone waited anxiously. Time passed second by second, and finally, Tang Bao's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue, and her breathing became steady.

"Tang Bao!" Hua Qiangu excitedly rushed to the bedside.

Tangbao slowly opened her eyes: "Mommy, I feel much better."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Tang Bao wake up. The crisis was finally temporarily averted, but they knew that more challenges awaited them in the future.

“Although we have repelled the Shadow Cult, they certainly won’t give up easily. We need to strengthen our cultivation and improve our strength in order to better protect Changliu Mountain and the world of immortals,” Bai Zihua said.

“That’s right, we can’t afford to be complacent in the slightest.” Sha Qianmo nodded in agreement.

Hua Qiangu looked at her companions, her heart filled with gratitude and determination: "With everyone here, I believe we will definitely be able to protect this world of immortals and heroes."

Having survived this life-or-death ordeal, their bond deepened, and their resolve to protect the peace of the Xianxia world strengthened. Their story continues to be written in this world, each page brimming with passion and hope.
