Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

After Hua Qiangu and the founder of the sect had their brief "encounter" with Dongfang Yuqing in the Spirit Garden, they went back to their respective investigations. Although the flowers and plants in the garden were beautiful, the secrets they hid were like playing hide-and-seek with everyone, and they were not easy to find in a short time.

Hua Qiangu was squatting in front of a spiritual herb that shimmered with blue light, carefully pondering whether it had any special effects, when suddenly, the Ancestor walked towards her again. This time, the Ancestor's face showed some curiosity, and he asked directly, "Little Bone, you just said you came from the modern world of 2024, so you have to tell me properly, what happened to the TV series 'The Journey of Flower'? I've been thinking about it, after all, I used to work on the set."

Upon hearing this, Hua Qiangu immediately perked up, stood up, her eyes sparkling, and excitedly said, "Grandmaster, you have no idea! The TV series 'The Journey of Flower' is a global sensation! Zhao Liying's portrayal of Hua Qiangu is absolutely amazing, and so many people have become fans of her character!"

The patriarch's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but raise his voice, saying, "What? A global sensation? Wow, that's amazing! I knew Liying was a good actress and would definitely portray Xiao Gu exceptionally well, but I never expected her to become a global sensation!"

Hua Qiangu nodded vigorously and continued, "Yes, Grandmaster! Because of this drama, Zhao Liying has become incredibly popular! Her posters are everywhere, and she's getting all sorts of endorsements. Moreover, many people have fallen in love with the fantasy genre because of this drama and have started watching other fantasy dramas."

The patriarch listened, nodding repeatedly with a gratified smile on his face. He exclaimed, "Oh my, this is wonderful! Back when I was on set, I knew this show was going to be a hit, but I never imagined it would become this popular. Little Bone, tell me, what's going on in the show? How is it different from what we've experienced?"

Hua Qiangu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Hmm... the experiences in the drama are actually quite different from ours. For example, the scene where I transformed into a demon and cursed Bai Zihua was so grand in the drama, and the special effects were incredibly cool. I was shocked just watching it. Moreover, the emotional storylines in the drama were portrayed very delicately. Many viewers were heartbroken by the relationship between Xiao Gu and the Venerable One."

The patriarch listened intently and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Haha, that sounds really exciting! But our real experience isn't bad either. Look, we can still explore for treasures in this mystical garden. Who knows, there might be even more exciting things to come."

Hua Qiangu smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, Grandmaster! But I'm quite curious, what were you responsible for on set? Did you often see the actors filming?"

The master scratched his head, recalling the past with a nostalgic expression, and said, "I was just a production assistant, doing odd jobs like moving props and setting up scenes. Basically, I just made sure the filming went smoothly. But because of that, I could often watch the actors filming from the sidelines, and sometimes I could even chat with them for a bit."

Hua Qiangu said with envy, "Wow, that's so great! To be able to get so close to those actors, I wish I had that opportunity. Grandmaster, are you familiar with Zhao Liying? What's she like?"

The master smiled and said, "We're fairly familiar with each other. Liying is such a nice girl, so approachable and always very polite to us staff. She always greets us before filming and says thank you afterward."

Hua Qiangu's eyes lit up as she said, "Wow, she truly lives up to her reputation as my favorite actress—beautiful inside and out! Grandmaster, do you remember any interesting things that happened during filming?"

The master thought for a moment and said, "There are many interesting things! For example, once, when we were filming a group scene, one actor forgot his lines, which led the other actors astray. Everyone was making up lines, which really annoyed the director. But in the end, everyone was laughing so hard that we had to reshoot the scene several times before it was finally done."

Hua Qiangu burst into laughter, saying, "Haha, this is too funny! Such a mishap can happen while filming! Grandmaster, having stayed in this Hua Qiangu world for so long, have you ever thought about how wonderful it would be to go back to the modern world?"

The patriarch paused for a moment, then a complex expression appeared on his face as he slowly said, "To be honest, at first I really wanted to go back, after all, I still have family and friends in the modern world. But as time went on, I also developed new attachments here, like Changliu Mountain and you little guys. Now, even if I had the chance to go back, I really need to think about it carefully."

Hua Qiangu nodded with deep feeling and said, "Me too, Ancestor. When I first came here, I wanted to go back every day, but now that I've experienced so much here and met so many people, I wouldn't want to go back."

Just as the two were chatting enthusiastically, they suddenly heard an urgent shout: "Little Bone, Grandmaster, come quick! Something's happened here!"

Upon hearing this, the two immediately tensed up and hurriedly ran towards the direction from which the sound came. They saw Dongfang Yuqing, Tang Bao, Bai Zihua, Luo Shiyi, and others gathered in one place, their faces full of surprise and confusion.

Hua Qiangu asked anxiously, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Dongfang Yuqing pointed to an area in front of him that was shimmering with strange light and said, "Look, there's a strange place that suddenly appeared. It wasn't there just now. We don't know what dangers are inside, so we haven't dared to go in rashly."

The patriarch stepped forward, examined the place carefully, and said with a solemn expression, "This place does look strange. Everyone be careful and don't act rashly. I'll try to scout it out."

Everyone nodded, their eyes fixed on the patriarch's every move. The patriarch took a deep breath and cautiously walked towards the area of ​​strange light.

As soon as the patriarch stepped into that area, a sudden burst of light erupted, and a powerful force instantly enveloped him. Everyone gasped and tried to rush forward to help, but the barrier formed by the light kept them all back.

Hua Qiangu was extremely anxious and shouted, "Grandmaster, are you alright?"

The patriarch struggled to steady himself amidst the light and shouted back, "I'm fine, everyone don't panic, let's assess the situation first!"

But the light grew stronger and stronger, and the figure of the Ancestral Master gradually became blurred. Just as everyone was on edge, a surge of powerful spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the Ancestral Master's body. This spiritual energy rose like a surging tide, increasing several levels in an instant!

As his spiritual power surged, the Ancestral Master's body shone brightly, gradually dispelling the strange light that had previously enveloped him. With a mighty roar, the Ancestral Master's body jolted, and he seemed to undergo a complete transformation, instantly ascending to immortality!

Everyone was stunned, watching in disbelief as the Ancestral Master completed this astonishing transformation amidst the light. Tang Bao exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, the Ancestral Master has ascended to immortality! That's amazing!"

After ascending to immortality, the patriarch slowly floated down to the ground, his demeanor now completely transformed. He exuded an otherworldly aura, his eyes revealing depth and wisdom, and every gesture displayed the elegance and composure of an immortal, as if he were a completely different person from the former stagehand.

The patriarch looked at everyone, smiled slightly, and said, "This time, I have turned misfortune into blessing. Although the power of this place is strange, it has helped me break through my bottleneck and become an immortal."

After speaking, the patriarch's figure flashed and he entered that mysterious space. The crowd followed curiously, wanting to see what would happen to the patriarch after he became an immortal and entered the space.

When the patriarch arrived in the space, everyone was even more surprised to find that he seemed to be even more in harmony with everything here. The corners of the space that were originally somewhat dim lit up with a soft light when the patriarch approached, as if welcoming this newly ascended immortal.

The patriarch moved freely through the space, each step seemingly carrying a wondrous rhythm. With a gentle wave of his hand, he could draw the surrounding spiritual energy together, forming dazzling ribbons of light. The ethereal aura emanating from him seemed to imbue the entire space with a sacred aura.

The crowd gathered around, both delighted by their patriarch's transformation and filled with curiosity. Bai Zihua stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Congratulations on your ascension to immortality, patriarch! This transformation is truly astonishing. May I ask what your plans are next?"

The patriarch nodded slightly and said, "I wish to explore this space and see if I can use the power of becoming an immortal to further unravel the many secrets of this Spirit Garden and this space. You should also be careful and not act rashly in this garden."

Everyone agreed, and then they continued to explore the space more carefully around the patriarch.

At this moment, Hua Qiangu approached the patriarch with curiosity in her eyes and asked, "Patriarch, how are you feeling now? It's really different after becoming an immortal."

The patriarch smiled and looked at Hua Qiangu, replying, "Little Bone, you feel quite different now. With abundant spiritual energy, your perception of the surroundings is much sharper. Take this space, for example. Before, I always felt there were some mysteries I couldn't understand, but now I seem to be able to vaguely sense something deeper."

Hua Qiangu's eyes lit up, and she said, "Wow, that's great! Can you tell if there are any particularly powerful treasures in this space, or anything that can greatly increase our cultivation?"

The patriarch gently shook his head and smiled, "It's not so easy to know, Little Bone. Although I have become an immortal now, the secrets of this space are still profound. However, I will try my best to explore it, and if there are such treasures, I will naturally not forget you."

Hua Qiangu chuckled and said, "I knew Grandmaster was the best! By the way, Grandmaster, do you think this Spirit Garden is more dangerous than the places we've encountered before? After all, you just went through such a thrilling experience."

The patriarch's expression turned solemn, and he said, "Yes, this Spirit Garden is indeed not simple. It appears beautiful and peaceful, but it actually hides many secrets. You witnessed that power just now. If I hadn't had the chance to break through, the consequences would have been unimaginable. So everyone must be extra careful."

Hua Qiangu nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, yes, I understand, Grandmaster. We will definitely be careful. So, what do you suggest we do next? Should we split up or search together?"

The patriarch pondered for a moment and said, "In my opinion, it's best to act together for now. That way, if we encounter any danger, we can help each other. We can consider splitting up to explore once we are more familiar with the garden."

Hua Qiangu replied, "Alright, Grandmaster, I'll do as you say. So, where should we begin our search? Should we continue around this space, or head to other parts of the garden?"

The patriarch looked around and said, "Let's search this space carefully again. There might still be some clues we haven't discovered where that strange light appeared. Starting from here should yield some results."

So, led by their patriarch, the group began to search more carefully around the spot where the strange light had appeared.

While searching, Hua Qiangu couldn't help but chat with the Grandmaster, saying, "Grandmaster, do you think there might be a way to travel back to the modern world hidden in this garden? Although I'm reluctant to leave everyone here, I'm still curious sometimes."

The patriarch stopped and looked at Hua Qiangu, saying, "Little Bone, it's hard to say. This Spirit Garden is mysterious and unpredictable; anything is possible. But even if such a method truly existed, are you really willing to leave this place?"

Hua Qiangu was slightly taken aback, then a conflicted expression appeared on her face as she said, "I... I don't know either. I do miss some things about the modern world, but there are also people here that I can't let go of. If I really have that chance, I might have to think about it carefully."

The patriarch patted Hua Qiangu on the shoulder and comforted her, "It's alright, Xiao Gu. There's no rush. Once we've explored this garden thoroughly, the answer might come naturally. For now, let's focus on finding the treasure and improving our cultivation."

Hua Qiangu nodded and said, "Yes, Grandmaster, you're right. Let's continue our search!"

And so, led by their ancestor after his ascension to immortality, the group continued their exploration around the Spirit Garden, filled with both curiosity about the unknown and constant vigilance against potential dangers.
