Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Therefore, it is even more necessary to use spirit stones and elixirs as an aid.

Even if one cannot reach the Foundation Establishment stage in this lifetime, one can spend many spirit stones to purchase a spirit-locking talisman that can maintain spiritual energy for several months to ensure that one's cultivation level does not decline. Afterwards, one can take a flying boat back to the Fire Hell.

But if she has the opportunity to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage, she still wants to do her best to achieve it.

This can also give you more motivation.

Therefore—spirit stones are needed even more.

"Money..."

Xi Heng returned to the hall with a pile of materials and pills, took out his spirit stone reserves, and counted them again.

One hundred and five standard spirit stones, and seventy large blue-green spirit stones.

As for the Blood Spirit Stones in the inventory, there are still one hundred left.

However, Xi Heng had never seen Blood Spirit Stones in the commercial streets of Jinghuo Bendu. These spirit stones, which were made directly from human blood and lives, should be considered a forbidden item by the Fire Hell cultivators.

Even though the Pure Fire, which is the foundation of the Fire Hell, is itself refining spiritual energy with human spirits.

"The blood spirit stone contains resentment, but it doesn't bother me. It should be able to be used as an ordinary spirit stone to activate the array plate or directly assist in cultivation."

“Gathering Qi Array, Spirit Stones, Gathering Qi Pills... Using these three together can greatly improve cultivation progress.”

Xi Heng picked up all the pill ingredients, made some preparations before going into seclusion, and returned to the pavilion where he had been meditating. He put down the array plate and activated it with spirit stones.

The fine lines on the array plate expanded and enlarged, surrounding the entire pavilion.

The spirit stone emitted wisps of visible spiritual light, floating in the air like transparent silk, or slowly swimming in the same direction like fish in water.

As the three blood spirit stones placed on the ground emitted fluorescence, the density of spiritual energy in this area gradually increased.

The girl picked up the small porcelain bottle beside her, poured out a tiny indigo pill the size of her index fingertip, and swallowed it without hesitation.

As the pill entered the body, a cooling sensation spread from the abdomen to the limbs and bones, the mind became clearer, and the body was in the best state for cultivation.

Xi Heng closed his eyes, entering a state of perfect tranquility, free from all thoughts.

With eyes focused on the nose and the nose focused on the heart, following the Qi cultivation method written in the "Red Phoenix Heavenly Sword Scripture," one absorbs the spiritual energy throughout the body with a special breathing posture, channels it into the meridians, and begins the circulation of Qi throughout the body.

As the spiritual energy circulates, it slowly nourishes the muscles and lungs, eventually settling into the dantian.

Due to the difference in the concentration of spiritual energy around the body and the body's absorption efficiency, the overall increase in the spiritual energy refined at the same time and the overall increase in the muscles, lungs, and meridians was twice that of before.

She calculated that the spiritual energy she would absorb in the next two days would be more than the spiritual energy she had refined in the previous five days.

Xi Heng nodded slightly and took a fasting pill from the table in the pavilion.

Immediately afterwards, he began practicing Qi cultivation day and night.

The girl sat on a futon in the pavilion, her body glowing faintly with a fluorescent light, and spiritual light drifted slowly in the air.

When the spiritual energy of the spirit stones used to maintain the small energy-gathering array ran out, a few more were taken out from the inventory and placed on it.

The moon sets, the sun rises.

As dawn breaks, the leaves and petals of the trees and shrubs in the front yard are covered with dew.

Suddenly a long gust of wind blew by, causing the tips of the leaves to sway and the morning dew to drip down.

The white hair of the girl in the pavilion danced in the wind, the soft strands brushing against her cheeks, tangling in her clothes, and then slowly falling down when the wind stopped.

As the sunlight shines through, people's shadows slowly turn in the direction of the sun.

The morning sun quickly gives way to the midday sun, sending waves of heat to the earth.

The white walls and glazed tiles reflected the sunlight, illuminating the entire Jinghuoben.

However, the heat of the mortal realm was not enough to disturb her mind; the breathing and circulation of spiritual energy within her body remained stable without the slightest fluctuation.

Whether the sun is blazing or the rain is pouring down.

The numerous weather changes over the past few days did not cause Xi Heng, who sat cross-legged like a statue, to react in any way.

At most, he would glance at the outside world when the spiritual energy of the spirit stones was depleted, or when the effects of the Bigu Pill and the Qi Gathering Pill were fading.

It's drizzling today.

Raindrops hit the eaves, breaking into tiny droplets, then coalescing again in the center of the sloping glazed tiles, slowly trickling down.

The water splashed and pounded on the white stone floor, the sound of the dripping water filling the air.

The girl pinched another Qi-gathering pill with her slender fingers and pushed it into her lips.

A bitter taste, like eating raw flower petals, filled her mouth, but she paid it no heed, remaining focused on her internal sensations.

"After twenty days of cultivation, I've reached the second level of Qi Refining... a bit slower than I expected."

After the advancement, the strength of the dantian qi vortex increased, the concentration of spiritual energy increased further, and there was a slight increase in one's physical strength as well.

"Each small breakthrough in the Qi Refining stage brings a noticeable increase in physical strength and magical power, which is not bad."

There are ten levels in the Qi Refining stage.

Levels one through three of Qi Refining are considered the early stage of Qi Refining, levels four through six are the middle stage, and levels seven through nine are the late stage.

The tenth level of Qi Refining is considered perfect. Once a cultivator reaches the tenth level of Qi Refining, they can take Foundation Establishment Pills at any time to attempt Foundation Establishment.

There are many cultivators at the tenth level of Qi Refining in the Fiery Hell, who have been stuck there for a long time because they cannot obtain Foundation Establishment Pills.

Since they cultivate the Dao in order to achieve longevity, these Qi Refining Perfection cultivators generally do not attempt dangerous direct advancements. After passing the optimal advancement period of fifty years old, they will simply find a quiet place to retire and spend their lives at the tenth level of Qi Refining.

"Continue your cultivation..."

The girl didn't test the boost she had received so far, wanting to wait until she finished this seclusion before getting used to it.

She prepared ten fasting pills, enough for a full 150 days of cultivation.

After taking the second Bigu Pill, Xi Heng, as always, focused his consciousness into his body and manipulated the flow of Qi through his meridians.

After advancing to the next level, one must first circulate the spiritual energy throughout the body multiple times to consolidate the realm before continuing to refine new spiritual energy.

Perhaps because her physical condition was many times stronger than that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, and the speed at which her spiritual energy stabilized was also much faster—in just one day, her Qi Refining Level 2 realm was completely flawless, and she began to climb to an even higher realm.

Then, the sky kept changing color.

Large, dark clouds rolled in, bringing torrential rain, which was then dispersed by the storm.

The torrential rain fell on the courtyard pavilion, covering the eaves and forming a protective curtain of rain over the small pavilion where Xi Heng secluded himself.

Raindrops soaked the flowers and branches, damaged the petals, turned the soil into silt, and flooded the flower beds.

After the rain stopped, a howling storm came.

Although Xi Heng was sheltered under the pavilion and protected from the rain, he was still exposed to the wind and sun.

In such an environment, it would be difficult for an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator to calm their mind during seclusion, but she had already refined her sword intent to the highest level, so she could ignore it if she didn't want to.

……

Day by day passed.

On the thirtieth day after entering the Fiery Prison Cultivation Realm, Xi Heng was in seclusion.

On the fiftieth day, I was in seclusion.

Day 100, in seclusion.

During this time, there was one external disturbance: the Pure Fire Emblem she had placed on the stone table in the pavilion began to flicker with a faint white light.

Besides serving as identification and a key to the gates in Hellfire, this item also has the function of transmitting small amounts of information.

After completing another cycle of circulation, Xi Heng reached out and took it.

The message that came was that a sacrificial ceremony was about to take place, and she, a cultivator who had just arrived in Hellfire, was invited to be an audience member.

The specific date for the sacrifice is one hundred days later.

The girl twitched her lips and gave a casual reply.

"A hundred days' notice... that does fit cultivators' concept of time."

In the fiery hell, there are quite a few cultivators like her who go into seclusion for hundreds of days at a time.

After reading this message, Xi Heng felt that the information sent by Yin Wanluan was about her daily life and cultivation, which was not very important.

She exchanged a few polite words, and along the way, glanced at the many dark blood spirit stones on the ground that had lost all their fluorescence.

After considering his current financial situation, he added that he lacked spirit stones for cultivation and expenses, and that she could come to him if she had any requests or tasks.

Of course, the best outcome would be a generous reward.

After transmitting the information using spiritual energy fluctuations, Xi Heng picked up a Qi Gathering Pill and a Bigu Pill, swallowed them with considerable skill, and turned back to continue his cross-legged cultivation.

Day 110: Seclusion.

On the 120th day in Hellfire, it snowed lightly.

Midday, under dark clouds.

A cool breeze gently blows the soft snowflakes scattered around the pavilion, carrying them far away.

The ground was covered with a thin layer of snow several centimeters thick, turning the entire courtyard into a silver-white wonderland.

In the front yard, both the trees and the flower branches were covered with specks of snow.

The green leaves of summer have long since fallen, scattered on the ground and crushed into dust, becoming nutrients for the soil.

Around the flower bed, only one plum tree still retains some pink color, while the rest of the flowers and bouquets have all withered and died, leaving only thin or thick branches that stretch upwards like the delicate fingers of the flowers and trees.

Snowflakes still drifted in the air, some of which were carried by the wind into the pavilion and landed on Xi Heng, clinging to her snow-white hair or sticking to the surface of her white robe.

To this day, her body is mostly covered with a thin layer of snow.

But she ignored it completely, remaining motionless even as snowflakes landed on her cheeks and eyelashes.

This is a crucial time for Xi Heng's promotion.

The spiritual energy refined within the body was circulating at an increasingly faster speed along with the vortex.

At the same time, the spiritual energy, like a fish being drawn into a whirlpool in the sea, gradually converges towards the center with each rotation.

The spiritual energy in the inner circle of the dantian became increasingly concentrated and dense.

The empty space that had just appeared on the outer edge of the dantian was then filled with newly refined spiritual energy.

This process is repeated for a long time until the inner spiritual energy becomes so concentrated that it becomes difficult to break through a certain threshold, at which point it stops.

The cyclone itself began to gradually increase in size.

It no longer focuses solely on gathering spiritual energy in the center of the dantian, but expands the range of spiritual energy gathering and condensation.

From the very center of the dantian, the energy flows to cover half of the dantian—a large amount of thin spiritual energy becomes dense as the energy vortex rapidly circulates.

During his introspection, Xi Heng clearly saw that the proportion of spiritual energy that had reached its density limit was increasing.

Within a few days, this spiritual energy, like a virus, gradually took over the entire dantian in an irregular form.

Moreover, the spiritual energy was not satisfied with the small area of ​​the dantian, and began to gradually occupy the surrounding meridians.

First, the rich spiritual energy is output to one side of the meridians, and then the relatively thin spiritual energy is drawn back from the other side. It is then gradually refined into a rich and dense energy and returned to the meridians.

This process was repeated for a long time until every part of the body's meridians, tendons, muscles, internal organs, and other areas was completely replaced with the vital energy that nourished the body.

In an instant, she suddenly heard a 'plop' sound in her mind, like a stone falling into water.

Suddenly, all the rich spiritual energy that had seeped into his limbs and bones trembled.

As a result, her body, which had been sitting cross-legged for a long time, began to tremble.

The 'barrier' in my body seemed to be opened, and the spiritual energy wandered and fluctuated for a while before suddenly stopping.

Just as she was looking inward with doubt, but couldn't find any acupoints that were clear, she smelled a strange scent—like the faint smell of bedding after someone has slept in it for a long time, but much stronger.

She didn't open her eyes to interrupt her cultivation, but instead expanded her sword intent to investigate what had happened.

Then I noticed that some grayish-white turbidity had appeared on my body surface at some unknown time, and it looked like fine lime.

With a thought, Xi Heng's inner energy trembled slightly, easily dispersing the dust adhering to the surface of his skin, though some dust remained on the inner layer of his clothes.

"I can't keep this dress..." she thought to herself, exclaiming in disbelief.

However, the expulsion of waste from her body made her feel a sense of ease and comfort she had never experienced before.

It was as if there were some impurities in her original body that hindered the circulation of internal energy, blood, and spiritual energy, forcing her to bypass these things during the circulation of Qi.

Now that all of these things have been expelled, the flow of energy in her meridians and the lines of her muscles have become smoother.
