Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

The other person's mood seemed unchanged, but Xi Heng felt that there was more ambiguity at this moment than before, and his heartbeat couldn't help but quicken a little.

When processing the medicinal herbs or putting the prepared materials into the furnace, she would always make mistakes because her mind was constantly wandering and she was distracted by the many memories she had just recalled.

As a result, after two batches, only nine 'Qi Condensation Pills' were successfully refined, and most of them were of low grade. The two mid-grade pills were refined in the first batch.

If a skilled alchemist were to refine them, the same materials should yield eighteen or even twenty pills, with very few being of inferior grade.

It seems she'll soon run out of ammunition and have to return here to refine more.

But Xi Heng now has the intention to escape Yin Wanluan.

"Thank you, that's enough for today." The girl put away the pills she had prepared, completing her alchemy practice for the day, and politely withdrew to leave the Youxu Sect.

"Alright." The other person remained calm as always, picked up the blue-covered book from the stone table, and handed it to him.

"Go back and read this book several times."

Xi Heng silently accepted the answer, then raised his hand to his forehead.

Who would say something like that when handing someone a pornographic book...?

Today was so strange.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 190 (Chapter 183) Is this enough?

At dusk, in the fiery hell, the pure fire of the capital.

Xi Heng quietly passed through the hidden barrier and returned to the surface through the underground Netherworld Gate.

My footsteps returned to the empty, wide road paved with white flagstones in the city. I stared blankly at the trees with white flowers on both sides, listening to the faint rustling sound they made in the wind.

The white robe fluttered in the wind, and strands of loose hair danced lightly.

The girl tucked a strand of hair from her shoulder behind her ear, and then, in a daze, took out a small porcelain bottle from her storage bag.

Among them were the pills she had refined that day.

"There are only nine pills... Should we come back and refine them again in a hundred days?" Xi Heng thought to himself, "Hopefully the quality and quantity of the pills will be better next time."

If the medicinal herbs she buys can only produce half successful pills and half unusable pills, it's only slightly better than buying finished products directly from the pill shop—the cost-effectiveness isn't particularly high.

Although it will also give her a lot of experience in alchemy.

Looking at the small bottle of pills, Xi Heng recalled what Yin Wanluan had mentioned about dual cultivation.

The scenes and actions depicted in the storybook are truly unforgettable.

As my mind wandered, the image of the book's owner inevitably came to mind.

The hazy figures and movements in the mind gradually took on a clear subject.

As time passed, for some unknown reason, another figure resembling the protagonist gradually gained color... and transformed into her own likeness.

The white-haired girl walked on a street strewn with petals and leaves, her appearance seemingly pure and innocent.

But deep down, all he could think about was enjoying himself with another blonde woman—no, the act of dual cultivation.

After a long while, the wall in front of them got closer and closer.

She almost bumped into it before she came to her senses, stopped in her tracks, and rubbed her forehead, saying, "What was I thinking about?"

It was all that golden retriever's fault—Xi Heng silently blamed himself.

Shaking his head, trying to clear his mind of the accumulated thoughts, he looked around and finally found the direction of his own yard.

"I should go back and cultivate properly," the girl advised herself.

"After all, according to that guy, even if you want to cultivate together, you have to reach at least the late stage of Qi Refining first..."

This matter has been on my mind for so long... Xi Heng's statement that he didn't want to cultivate with the other party wasn't entirely true.

But she always felt that such things were too intimate and that a certain prerequisite had to be met.

They should at least reach a similar level of intimacy with their senior and junior sisters.

Or perhaps it was like when I was the Emperor of Tianzhao, and I had spent a considerable amount of time with Chen Fenghuo.

If I were to ask her to directly accept the invitation to dual cultivation, I would feel like I was corrupting an innocent young girl...

Perhaps being in Hellfire meant she didn't need to care about such chaos, but she was unwilling to adapt to her surroundings and change her perceptions and common sense.

and so……

"Let nature take its course as it comes," the girl muttered to herself.

I walked for a long time, lost in thought.

The western sunset grew increasingly dim, with the blood-red sun setting on the horizon.

Xi Heng finally returned to his own foyer and used the Purifying Fire Emblem to make the door open.

The flowerbeds in the backyard were in full bloom, the trees stretched their branches freely, their green leaves swaying in the breeze, and the pale white flowers were still in bud.

A girl in a white robe walked through the altar, her clothes brushing against the flowers and leaves.

"I always feel like time flies by so fast." The girl reached out a finger and brushed it across a flower stamen.

When she was in the Chonghai area, she could clearly feel the changing seasons and see her relatives and friends around her adding or removing clothes.

In the fiery hell, most of the time was spent in seclusion and cultivation. Before they knew it, summer had turned into the deep winter of heavy snow, and then, in a daze, it was now early spring.

I've spent two hundred days here, but it doesn't really feel real.

I just want to say: Has it really been this long already?

Xi Heng plucked a petal, held it to his nose to sniff, and then casually tossed it away.

Upon returning to the main hall, he noticed some dust in the room and used a house-cleansing spell to clean it up.

Afterwards, he sat down at the round table and took out his haul from his storage bag.

Her trip to the Netherworld Sect not only allowed her to refine elixirs, but also enhanced the effectiveness of her Spirit Gathering Array, adding the ability to block wind and rain.

Afterwards, when he secluded himself in the pavilion, he no longer needed to worry about rain and snow falling on him.

"There are also fasting pills, spirit-gathering herbs, calming incense..." She took out bottles and jars from her storage bag and then took out many spirit stones from her inventory.

Xi Heng calculated the usable time of the Qi Condensation Pill and used that to divide the quantity of other items.

After making all the preparations, he was about to return to the pavilion to continue his cultivation when he remembered that there was another item in his storage bag, so he stopped.

Then, he took out the blue-covered book with a phoenix pattern.

Although this book has some weaknesses, its descriptions of certain events are quite detailed.

"We can still take a look..." Xi Heng said softly.

When I saw it inside the Netherworld Gate before, I didn't think it was that good.

But now that she's come to her senses, she feels a strange attraction drawing her to take out the book.

"That's strange..."

The pages were turned, revealing the beautiful, flowing, and coherent text within.

As dusk fell, the setting sun faded and the sky was enveloped in night.

Xi Heng looked at the book in his hand and unconsciously returned to his bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed.

After watching it for half an hour, I snuggled back into bed.

"I'll practice again tomorrow."

Having spent the whole day outside, she wanted to rest for a while.

……

The next morning, feeling refreshed, Xi Heng arrived at the courtyard pavilion, which he had set up as his secluded retreat, carrying a large number of materials and artifacts.

He casually snapped his fingers, activating the array plate to create a spiritual light that surrounded the pavilion. The spirit stones also emitted a fluorescent glow, increasing the concentration of spiritual energy within the array.

The girl pinched out a fasting pill and swallowed it lightly, like biting into a chocolate ball.

Sit cross-legged and first manipulate the flow of spiritual energy within your body to achieve a state of cultivation.

Then, place calming incense wood, take a Qi-condensing pill, calm the mind to clear the thoughts, and relax to harmonize the whole body.

The spiritual energy then circulates throughout the body, flowing to the dantian and gradually condensing.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

As spring turns to autumn, the tender leaves turn a withered yellow, as if they have become moldy, and gradually wither away with each gust of cold autumn wind.

Petals and leaves scattered in the soil, gradually disintegrating.

The girl in the pavilion closed her eyes, focusing intently on the circulation of energy within her body.

The spiritual energy is condensing into a cluster in the dantian, slowly circulating around the newly refined spirit, with the vortex within maintaining its rotation.

As it was nourished by spiritual energy, the medicinal power of the Qi Condensation Pill also circulated to all parts of the body.

Under this effect, the efficiency of spiritual energy condensation in the refining room more than doubled.

The increased concentration of spiritual energy generated by the small spirit-gathering array also greatly increased her cultivation efficiency.

With the added boost from other materials, her cultivation efficiency is now more than three times that of cultivating purely on her own without any external aids.

If only a few medium-grade pills are taken, the efficiency can be increased even further.

Unfortunately, she couldn't refine a high-grade Qi Condensation Pill herself, and such a high-level pill wouldn't circulate on the market.

Even if it were possible, it would require a large number of spirit stones.

Xi Heng felt that the five hundred spirit stones he received as a reward from the previous mission would be used up in no time if he used them all for his own cultivation.

The salary received after joining the Youxu Sect will take a long time to be collected.

Although I received another initiation gift upon joining the organization, the most valuable one was merely a black robe artifact that could conceal my figure.

Other than that, it's a free upgrade to the formation or a selection of some special spells, but there are no specific spirit stones included.

"After joining the Youxu Sect, the expenses for alchemy have indeed decreased a lot, but the consumption of the array that increases the concentration of spiritual energy is still quite large..." the girl thought to herself during her break from her secluded cultivation.

The formation requires spirit stones to activate, and all other materials also require spirit stones to purchase.

Xi Heng estimated that if she insisted on adding the most perfect enhancement to her secluded cultivation environment, she would need to consume thirty to forty Fire Prison Standard Spirit Stones every month.

Furthermore, as one's Qi Refining level increases, the required energy expenditure will also increase.

The salary earned in the Netherworld Sect is not enough to fully cover these kinds of expenses.

"Perhaps every time I go into seclusion for a relatively long period of time, I will need to take on some quests to earn spirit stones..."

"Or perhaps we could wait for the Youxu Sect to assign some tasks, preferably one that gives five hundred spirit stones every year, like last time..."

Xi Heng had once taken the time to visit the sect hall of the Pure Fire Sect, where tasks were assigned to the sect's cultivators. However, at that time, she was only in the early stage of Qi Refining, and the task rewards she could receive were only ten or fifteen spirit stones.

The tasks were either mining spirit ore or guarding spirit fields, or at best, doing odd jobs in the sect's alchemy room or weapon-forging room.

After taking a look around, she felt that the task best suited her was to test poisons in the alchemy room, or to handle poisons and even stranger materials.

This mission offers the best rewards. As long as you don't die, you can earn sixty spirit stones every month and also receive some beneficial pills for free.

Even for such a dangerous task, one needs to have some knowledge of medicinal herbs or elixirs to take the job... and it will also delay one's cultivation.

“Cultivation still consumes too many spirit stones…”

"Or I could just find Yin Wanluan for dual cultivation and wait for her to take care of me," Xi Heng joked casually.

After all, she had been an emperor in the mortal realm, and she couldn't lower herself to do such a thing.

Even if someone is going to be a sugar daddy/sugar baby, it should be the one who is supporting the other person.

However, as the Holy Maiden of the Pure Fire Sect, Yin Wanluan lacked nothing at all...

The girl slowly exhaled, the short rest time was over, and she once again immersed herself in cultivation.

During this period of time, with the countless circulations and nourishment of spiritual energy, her overall physical condition has improved slightly.

The concentration of spiritual energy itself is also continuing to increase towards the next stage.

Xi Heng could sense that he was not far from reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Although it was only an increase of one level as before, reaching the fourth level meant reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining, which allowed him to learn stronger talisman techniques and add more spells to his Crimson Phoenix Heaven-Bearing Sword.

Furthermore, once one reaches the mid-stage of Qi Refining, beginners in the Array Dao can attempt to inscribe array plates independently, carving out some of the simplest beginner-level arrays.
