Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

They are usually traps or obstacles, at most carrying a few talismans, and don't have many special effects.

The enemies one can fight against cannot be higher than those at the same cultivation level.

Although it was ineffective for Xi Heng in actual combat, she could at least carve an automatic sprinkler array in her courtyard to maintain the flower beds and practice her array techniques.

After another half-day of Qi cultivation, the girl opened her eyes and quietly looked at the flower bed under the twilight in front of her.

The sun shone brightly, casting its rays upon the ground, which was covered with broken branches, fallen leaves, and dust due to long neglect.

The flower branches and twigs also appeared overly messy because they had not been pruned.

"Perhaps we could carve another array to automatically cleanse the altar, and another array to maintain the pond within, automatically changing the water and feeding the fish... No, do such arrays really exist?"

These types of formations that can take care of everyday home life were mostly developed due to the trend of 'new formations' that have emerged in the last hundred years.

Their quantity was small, and they were not particularly refined.

There's definitely no formation that automatically feeds fish or pets.

"Can I develop it myself...? Probably not. I don't even have a basic understanding of what 'array principles are' right now." Xi Heng felt that he couldn't do such a thing at the moment.

If you want to do it, you need to spend a lot of time researching and making it slowly.

Before she could achieve Foundation Establishment, her time was still quite precious.

"Or perhaps we should hire a maid to help manage it," the girl thought for a moment.

But considering the cost of hiring a monk, he decided against it.

There are no mortals in Hellfire—at least not outwardly.

Aside from performing rituals and maintaining official affairs, Hell has little communication with the mortal world, unlike in the mortal world where one can hire a large number of servants for just a few taels of silver.

Ordinary gold and silver, being devoid of any spiritual energy, have absolutely no purchasing power here—even a hundred taels of gold cannot buy a single spirit stone.

During the war-torn period in the Great Zhao Kingdom, one tael of gold could hire an entire courtyard of maids.

Here, it usually costs five to ten spirit stones to hire a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining to help take care of the household.

Seeing each other in person made her silently abandon this plan.

After a short rest, Xi Heng took another Bigu Pill and then focused his mind on circulating the spiritual energy within his body, attempting to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining.

Within the meridians, the flow of spiritual energy gradually increases.

Within his dantian, the swirling ball of spiritual energy grew increasingly dense, emanating a faint warmth from its center.

After a long time, the heat that was originally only in the very center of the dantian slowly expanded and gradually spread throughout the entire dantian.

The air mass became increasingly stable, and the sense of drifting and wandering of 'qi' was no longer noticeable.

It's as if the original 'air' has been wrapped in a thin membrane, or put into a balloon and stopped moving.

This stable spiritual energy slowly seeps out, pushing through the meridians and replacing other spiritual energies that nourish the internal organs, muscles, bones, and various vital acupoints.

The newly refined spiritual energy is then sent into the dantian, where it undergoes a long period of re-refining to regain its previous stable form.

Ten days later, Xi Heng had completely stabilized all the spiritual energy in his body.

As a thud sounded in her mind, she suddenly felt everything become clearer, and at the same time, she gained a faint sensitivity to the surrounding things, as if she had opened her sword heart.

Although not as exaggerated as the Sword Heart Domain, this layer of perception is still hazy. However, the Sword Heart Domain is actively used, while this newly emerging spiritual consciousness does not require mental effort and can last for a long time.

As a result, her sensitivity to spiritual energy has reached a new level.

The heat generated before the ascension within the body gradually contracted and returned to the innermost layer of the dantian.

Based on his experience, Xi Heng gradually stabilized his own realm.

After a while, once everything had calmed down, I let out a shallow breath:

"You've been promoted."

"By the mid-stage of Qi Refining... the quality of spiritual energy will change slightly. No wonder there are many spells and abilities that can only be used safely after advancement." The girl muttered to herself, snapped her fingers, and shut down the array plate beside her that was emitting spiritual light.

The magic array that maintained the rich spiritual energy and provided shelter from the wind and rain immediately dispersed, bringing in the cold autumn wind from the outside world, which made the strands of hair and robes flutter.

"After 133 cycles of day and night, I was able to advance... After all, I used a better Qi Condensation Pill and had some other aids, so my cultivation efficiency this time was not slow."

"I'm almost out of pills, I should find some time to go to the Netherworld Sect another day..."

She exhaled and stood up, looking at the chaotic scene in the front courtyard.

With a flick of the wrist, spiritual energy flows and transforms, accompanied by finger techniques to unleash specific spells.

A gentle breeze, carrying a luminous quality, swept up dust, weeds, and fallen leaves, sweeping across the entire front yard.

The jumbled objects floated up together, swirled into a ball in the air, and then landed steadily on the ground.

Seeing her home quickly return to its clean state with a single spell, she felt much calmer.

Subconsciously, he wanted to try out a spell from the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

Without hesitation, he formed a Dao Finger and unleashed a fire spell, pushing forward and unleashing a wildly surging, scorching fireball.

The overflowing heat scorched large areas of the white stone, and even flower beds several meters away were instantly burned.

"The total amount of spiritual energy generated is the same, but the effect is several times stronger than before..."

Xi Heng spread the flames, and with a whoosh, the surrounding wooden corridor floor was also ignited by the spreading heat.

Then, she unleashed a spell of cold air, extinguishing all the flames on the surrounding floor, flower beds, and pavilions.

"We can't practice our skills in the courtyard anymore; we have to go to a special area." The girl clicked her tongue. "But just entering that kind of place costs five spirit stones... that's so expensive."

In this fiery hell, apart from necessities such as fasting pills, spiritual rice, and meat, many other items are quite expensive.

It's unclear whether this is unique to the Pure Fire Realm or if it's the case in most cultivation worlds after the collapse of the Heavenly Dao.

Xi Heng only knew about the existing cultivation world and didn't think much more about it.

Having made up his mind to go out and try out new skills, he took his storage bag and phoenix-patterned longsword, took off his white robe, and left the place dressed like a chivalrous swordsman.

As he slowly approached the door, Linggan sensed someone getting closer.

The figure was familiar, and so was the aura.

"What a coincidence," the girl said softly.

She had just finished her cultivation and stepped out when Yin Wanluan arrived at the courtyard.

Whether it was fate or some kind of premonition, I came here specifically to offer my congratulations.

The girl took out the Purifying Flame Emblem, opened the door, and stepped out to see the ever-beautiful and elegant white-robed blonde woman.

Their expressions and postures were also typical, calm and natural.

After gesturing slightly, the blonde girl said, "Try not to focus your spiritual energy on other cultivators, as this is not a good thing to do in the Fire Hell."

“Oh…” Xi Heng withdrew his spiritual sense.

Seeing her obedient demeanor, the other person nodded and said:

"I have something to discuss with you today, but since you have reached the mid-stage of Qi Refining, let's put that aside for now and celebrate."

The white-haired girl tilted her head, thinking that she could go for the interview tomorrow, so she abandoned the idea of ​​leaving the courtyard and stepped back to invite the other party into the courtyard.

He asked, "A celebration?"

"Do you remember what I said almost a year ago when I led you into the Fire Hell?" Yin Wanluan stepped lightly across the threshold, turning to Xi Heng and saying:

"At each level you reach, I will gift you a corresponding magical artifact... Tell me, what do you want?"

For some reason, the phrase "what do you want?" held a great attraction for Xi Heng.

When the other person uttered those words, her wealthy aura was immediately apparent.

Influenced by the other person's aura, the girl blurted out, "Spirit Stone."

"Ok?"

"Ahem, it's nothing." Xi Heng finally understood that it was about choosing a magical artifact, and then said, "Right now, I don't really need any magical artifacts..."

However, it does require a lot of spirit stones, and the other party seems to have a mission as well...

"So let's put the magical artifact aside for now. You just said you needed to talk to me about something?" She hoped it was a very rewarding task.

“Hmm…that’s right.” Yin Wanluan followed Xi Heng’s lead, walking into the courtyard and flowerbeds, and began to speak along the way:

"Do you still remember the phantom of the evil spirits we encountered when we last went to the outside world?"

Xi Heng nodded.

The other person caught a fallen leaf from the tree and rubbed it into powder with their thumb.

Looking up slightly at the withered tree trunk, he said again:

“That person is indeed a cultivator from the Guanhua Sect of the Seven Sects Alliance. I have verified his identity. Today he accepted an outside mission, and he may be manipulating the lives of mortals to create vengeful ghosts and monsters.”

"I want to kill him." After saying that, Yin Wanluan turned to look at Xi Heng: "Would you be willing to come with me?"

"Of course I'm willing," the girl replied without hesitation.

From the moment that ghostly figure harbored murderous intent, Xi Heng had already added it to her list of enemies.

Those who have been on her list of enemies have already died once, or many times over.

Upon arriving in Hellfire, they naturally continued this tradition.

However, she suddenly felt like asking, "By the way, how much is the payment?"

Yin Wanluan covered her mouth and smiled slightly, then extended her index finger.

Xi Heng blinked: "This is..."

"Would one thousand spirit stones be enough?" The other party asked casually, as if more could be added if needed.

“Of course that’s enough,” the girl immediately agreed.

"Then..." Yin Wanluan's golden eyes shifted slightly, and he took another step closer to her, whispering, "If you want me to cultivate with you, how much would be enough?"

"Eh?"

Volume 1: Chapter 191 (Chapter 184) - Flying Clouds and Lightning

In late autumn, in the courtyard of a house.

The ground, withered leaves trembled slightly in the breeze.

On the ground, two girls, one with blonde hair and the other with white hair, stood facing each other.

A gentle breeze brushed past Xi Heng's ears and temples, touching his cheeks and causing a slight tickling sensation.

It's like a delicate finger gently gliding across your sensitive cheek, making you unconsciously lose focus.

Moreover, it wasn't just this little feeling that distracted Xi Heng.

And in the field of vision, there was this pale blonde woman with a face so perfect that it was almost impossible to find any flaws, leaning forward with her hands behind her back.

His eyes, as clear as amber, met hers closely, the distance between them barely half a step.

The autumn wind stirred the pale golden hair that had been hanging over the other person's shoulder, and drifted across Xi Heng's neck, chin, and face.

When their eyes met, she always had the illusion that the whole world had stopped operating and all time and space were focused on this moment.

Only the faint shimmer of light in the other person's eyes indicated that time was still continuing.

It wasn't until Yin Wanluan let out a long, muffled groan that Xi Heng came back to his senses.

If we were to cultivate together, how many spirit stones would be enough?

Another cool autumn breeze blew by, and Xi Heng took half a step back, coughing lightly as he answered:

"No matter how many there are, it won't be enough..."

"Why?" Yin Wanluan asked, puzzled.

The two women have vastly different common sense.

One is a young lady born into a cultivation-locking spirit array, and the other is from the modern world.

Two people from different worlds, by sheer chance, found their paths intersecting.

Therefore, Xi Heng had already reminded himself in his heart that no matter how strange the other party said, there was no need to be too surprised.

However, the idea of ​​'how much money can be spent to cultivate together' is too strange.
