Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Ever since Luo Shiyi ate the spiritual spring pill given to him by Hua Qiangu, his cultivation path seemed to have been infused with a mysterious and powerful force, resulting in astonishing changes.

That morning, the disciples of Changliu Mountain began their cultivation as usual. Luo Shiyi went alone to his usual secluded valley to meditate. In the past, meditation was never easy for him; he always felt his spiritual energy flowing haltingly, as if something was hindering his further progress. But today, as soon as he sat down and closed his eyes, he sensed a completely different aura.

The spiritual energy that had been flowing slowly within his body now flowed freely through his meridians like a stream that had been freed from its constraints. Luo Shiyi was overjoyed. He was surprised to find that this meditation was so easy, and the blockages that had troubled him for so long had completely disappeared!

Before long, Luo Shiyi clearly felt his cultivation level steadily increasing. He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief, and shouted excitedly, "This...this is unbelievable! I actually leveled up by two levels all at once! Wow!"

Just then, Hua Qiangu came skipping over. Seeing Luo Shiyi's surprised and delighted expression, she asked with a grin, "Eleventh Senior Brother, how was it? Did you feel amazing? Haha!"

Upon seeing Hua Qiangu, Luo Shiyi immediately stood up and exclaimed excitedly, "Little Bone, this pill of yours is simply amazing! Look, I used to be stuck in my cultivation and couldn't improve, but now meditation is so easy, and I've even leveled up two levels in one go! This is simply heaven-defying! It's incredible!"

Hua Qiangu put her hands on her hips, a smug smile on her face, and said loudly, "Haha, I knew it! Senior brother, what I gave you was definitely something good! Now you believe me, right? Humph!"

Luo Shiyi nodded repeatedly and said, "I believe you, I believe you, Xiao Gu, where did you get such a magical pill? If I had a few more, my cultivation would increase by leaps and bounds! Oh my!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu quickly waved her hand and said, "Oh dear, senior brother, this is not easy to obtain. I went through a lot of effort to get this one. There aren't any available right now. Let's talk about it another time. Sigh!"

Although Luo Shiyi was a little disappointed, she still smiled and said, "Alright, Xiao Gu, even if it's just this one, it's already helped me a lot. Thank you so much! Thank you!"

As the two were talking, Huo Xi passed by and, seeing Luo Shiyi's excited expression, curiously approached and asked, "Senior Brother Shiyi, what's wrong? Why are you so happy? Is something good happening? Tell me quickly! Hey!"

Luo Shiyi glanced at Huo Xi, then at Hua Qiangu, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Uh... it's nothing serious, it's just that my meditation felt particularly smooth today, and my cultivation seems to have improved a bit. Hmm..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Xi's eyes widened, and she said, "That's it? What's so exciting about that? I thought you'd found some treasure! Humph, you always meditate smoothly, so it's normal for your cultivation to improve. Why are you so excited? Humph!"

Luo Shiyi was both amused and exasperated by Huo Xi's words. He looked helplessly at Hua Qiangu and then said to Huo Xi, "Huo Xi, you don't understand. This time is different from before. My improvement this time is huge! Wow, really huge!"

Huo Xi curled her lip and said disdainfully, "How big can it be? I think you're just making a fuss over nothing. It might fall down again in a little while! Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Shiyi immediately became anxious and shouted, "Huo Xi, don't talk nonsense! I really have made a great breakthrough this time, I know what I'm doing! Don't make wild guesses!"

Seeing that Luo Shiyi was getting anxious, Huo Xi realized that there might really be something different about the situation. She scratched her head and said, "Alright, alright, then let's say you really have made a breakthrough. But you have to treat us to a celebration! Haha!"

Luo Shiyi said irritably, "What kind of invitation is this? I still need to consolidate my cultivation. I don't have time to mess around with you. Just stop causing trouble!"

Huo Xi pouted and said, "Hmph, so stingy. If you don't want to treat me, then don't treat me. I don't care anyway!"

After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.

Just then, Wu Qingluo walked over and said to Luo Shiyi with a smile, "Senior Brother Shiyi, I think I just heard you say that your cultivation has made a great breakthrough. That's really good news! Congratulations! Haha!"

Luo Shiyi smiled and replied, "Thank you, Senior Sister Qingluo. I didn't expect such a big change. It's all thanks to Xiaogu. Wow, it's really all thanks to Xiaogu!"

Wu Qingluo looked at Hua Qiangu with some confusion and asked, "Oh? What does this have to do with Xiaogu? Hmm?"

Luo Shiyi then realized he had let something slip. He glanced at Hua Qiangu with a hint of apology in his eyes, then said to Wu Qingluo, "Uh... it's just that Xiaogu gave me some advice on cultivation before, which benefited me greatly, so I made a breakthrough this time. Hmm..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingluo smiled and said to Hua Qiangu, "Little Bone, I didn't know you had this skill! You're really amazing! I see! You'll have to help your senior brothers and sisters more often in the future. Haha!"

Hua Qiangu replied with a smile, "Okay, Senior Sister Qingluo, if I had the ability, I would definitely help! Hehe!"

But in her heart she was thinking, "Oh dear, I can't tell anyone about this. If others find out about the Spirit Spring Pill, it'll be troublesome. I need to change the subject quickly. Sigh!"

So Hua Qiangu quickly asked, "Senior Sister Qingluo, how's your cultivation going lately? Have you had any new insights? Hmm?"

Wu Qingluo then chatted with Hua Qiangu about her cultivation progress. The two were talking enthusiastically when suddenly, Ni Mantian walked over from not far away.

Seeing them chatting and laughing together, Ni Mantian felt extremely uncomfortable. She snorted and walked over, saying sarcastically, "Oh, what are you talking about now? It's so lively. Could it be that Hua Qiangu is up to something again?"

Hua Qiangu frowned, looked at Ni Mantian, and said, "Ni Mantian, can you stop being so sarcastic? We're just talking about cultivation, what's it to you?"

Ni Mantian curled her lip in disdain and said, "What valuable cultivation knowledge could you possibly have to share? Don't embarrass yourself here. Don't you know your place?"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Wu Qingluo quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Ni Mantian, we're all from the same sect, why say such hurtful things? It's much better to talk about cultivation and learn from each other. Haha!"

Ni Mantian snorted and said, "Hmph, for the sake of Senior Sister Wu Qingluo, I won't hold it against you this time, but you better watch out!"

After saying that, Ni Mantian turned around and stormed off.

Hua Qiangu watched Ni Mantian's departing figure, clenched her fists, and secretly vowed: Ni Mantian, just you wait, I will definitely make you look at me in a new light, and then we'll see if you still dare to treat me like this!

Luo Shiyi patted Hua Qiangu on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Gu, don't mind her. That's just the kind of person she is. Let's not stoop to her level. Come on, let's continue our conversation. Haha!"

Huo Xi chimed in, "That's right, Xiao Gu, don't take her words to heart. Let's continue talking about what happened earlier. I'd like to know what advice you gave Eleventh Senior Brother that helped him improve so much! Haha!"

Hua Qiangu looked at them helplessly, then smiled and said, "Oh dear, Senior Brother Huoxi, that suggestion was just something I came up with by guesswork. It might not be useful to others. Let's talk about something else, like, have you encountered anything interesting in your cultivation lately? Hmm?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Xi's eyes lit up, and he immediately perked up, launching into a long and detailed account of some amusing incidents he had recently encountered during his cultivation, which made everyone burst into laughter.

Just as they were laughing and chatting, Bai Zihua approached from afar. Bai Zihua had a cold and stern expression, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance. He walked up to the group, looked at Luo Shiyi, and asked, "Shiyi, I heard that your cultivation has made a significant breakthrough today, is that true?"

Luo Shiyi quickly bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, Master, it's true. I felt exceptionally smooth during meditation today, and my cultivation level has indeed increased by two levels. Hmm!"

Bai Zihua nodded slightly and said, "Yes, now that you have made some progress, you must not slack off. You need to continue to work hard and consolidate your cultivation. Yes!"

Luo Shiyi replied, "Yes, Master, I understand. Hmm!"

Bai Zihua glanced at Hua Qiangu again, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, but he didn't ask any further questions. He simply said, "Hua Qiangu, you also need to cultivate diligently and not waste your time. Hmm!"

Hua Qiangu obediently replied, "Yes, Master, I will try my best! Hmm!"

After Bai Zihua left, Huo Xi leaned close to Luo Shiyi and whispered, "Eleventh Brother, do you think the way the Immortal looked at Xiao Gu just now meant that he thought there was something wrong with her? Hmm?"

Luo Shiyi glared at him and said, "Huo Xi, don't make wild guesses. Master was just concerned about our cultivation. Don't spread rumors. It wouldn't be good if it got to Master's ears."

Huo Xi stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything, but I still feel like something's a little weird. Hmm!"

Luo Shiyi shook his head helplessly, then said to Hua Qiangu, "Xiao Gu, don't take Huo Xi's words to heart. Master is just that kind of person. He treats everyone the same and is only concerned about our cultivation. Hmm!"

Hua Qiangu smiled and said, "Yes, I understand, Senior Brother. I won't mind. Okay!"

But in her heart she was thinking, "Oh dear, I hope Master doesn't notice anything amiss, otherwise it'll be troublesome. I need to be even more careful. Hmm!"

Afterwards, the group continued to chat about cultivation and other matters concerning Changliu Mountain. Although people like Ni Mantian would occasionally cause trouble, the laughter and chatter they shared made their time on Changliu Mountain more lively and warm.

Meanwhile, Hua Qiangu was secretly calculating how to continue using the Spirit Spring Pill to help herself and those around her improve their cultivation without revealing its secret, while also gaining a foothold on Changliu Mountain and rewriting her original tragic fate. After all, in this world of immortals and heroes, every step was full of unknowns and challenges, and she couldn't afford to be complacent in the slightest!
