Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Even though I had prepared beforehand, I was still stunned when I heard those words.

"What do you take me for..." Xi Heng sighed softly after regaining his senses.

"Hmm..." Yin Wanluan actually pondered for a moment: "Friend?"

"So, who would say something like that to a close friend?"

Also, why does the tone sound doubtful when saying the word "friend"?

"Is it not allowed?"

"No!" Xi Heng shook his head firmly: "If I asked you how many spirit stones it would take to do that kind of thing, you wouldn't have a good attitude either, would you?"

"Me?" The other person tilted their head and pointed to themselves, saying gently, "If it were you, I wouldn't accept spirit stones."

The girl sighed, rubbing her forehead—she shouldn't have asked about the past, and she didn't need to hear such strange things anymore.

"Let's not talk about this kind of thing..."

Xi Heng turned and walked into the hall, trying to end the conversation with a final answer: "No matter how much, it won't work."

"Oh?" But Yin Wanluan seemed to have been intrigued.

Watching Xi Heng's retreating figure, she said in a tone that seemed to be either joking or not:

"Not even 10,000 spirit stones?"

"Ten thousand?" The white-haired girl instinctively stopped in her tracks, turning her head to glance at him: "Just how rich are you...?"

To be able to casually mention 'ten thousand', this person's wealth is probably far greater than that number.

"It was just a joke." Yin Wanluan waved her hand with a light smile and continued to walk beside Xi Heng.

"Is this really a joke...?"

Xi Heng felt that if she had agreed, the other party would have simply handed her a receipt for 10,000 spirit stones.

Then... something that's hard to describe will probably happen.

She glanced at the other person again, feeling inexplicably flustered.

Let's change the subject and move on from this odd topic.

……

Xi Heng said no more, but led the other party into the hall, then went to a cabinet on the side, took out a teacup and cleaned it with magic.

Then, he silently took out some high-quality tea leaves from his inventory and used magic to release hot water into the teacup.

After a few simple steps, it is served to welcome guests.

During this time, for some reason, Xi Heng always felt a gaze that was unabashedly fixed on his entire body.

Looking back, she saw that it was indeed the blonde woman staring at her.

The girl placed her teacup on the table, glanced at it, and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Your figure is slender and lovely... but you are a little too slender."

This person then shifted their focus from things like "how many spirit stones it would take to buy you" to her figure.

Perhaps there is some connection between the inner layers of these two things... Xi Heng thought to himself.

"Who are you calling flat-chested?"

She gave a soft hum and turned around to pour herself another cup of tea.

By the way, take out some spare pastries and fruits from the inventory as a treat.

Time does not flow in the inventory; everything looks exactly as it does the moment it is saved, and it remains exactly the same when taken out, so there is no need to worry about it spoiling.

Thus, even after nearly a year away from the Chonghai territory, Xi Heng was still able to enjoy the freshest fruits and pastries.

"I've heard that a certain type of elixir can be somewhat effective in this regard..." the other party mentioned.

"No need." The girl picked up a small peach from the table and took a bite.

After her mood was distracted by the delicious food, she asked, "Speaking back to that enemy cultivator from the Guanhua Sect, couldn't you just report his actions directly to the Jinghuo Sect? Was it necessary to take action yourself?"

The other party spread the fact that 'pilgrimage and sacrifice are a deception' to mortals—which should be considered a major taboo in the Hellfire where purification fire sacrifices are the foundation of cultivation.

As the Holy Maiden of the Fire Hell, Yin Wanluan should be able to face severe punishment if she reports this matter.

It's not impossible that they might throw that cultivator into the pure fire and burn him.

"Neither of us has concrete evidence," the other party replied, shrugging.

“Although I recorded the scene that day, that person was using shadow magic to conceal his identity and there was no connection between the whole situation and his actual identity. Moreover, as a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, the Seven Sect Alliance would definitely protect him... Even if I handed his image to my father, it would be difficult to determine his guilt. At most, he could be given some minor punishment.”

Yin Wanluan's voice grew deeper as he continued, "What I want to do is to kill this person completely... so that he can no longer recklessly urge the refining of mortals."

"Is that so?" Xi Heng nodded. "Then...when shall we set off?"

How was tonight?

"So early?" The other person wasn't in such a hurry when we went out last time.

Yin Wanluan sipped his tea and said:

"We must act before they cause chaos, otherwise many innocent people will suffer and die... Furthermore, we are not on official business this time, and we must leave the border quietly. We cannot stay away for long; we must act quickly."

"it is good."

……

Afterwards, Yin Wanluan stayed there until sunset and nightfall.

During this time, she and Xi Heng strolled around the courtyard, talking about the names of the white-flowered and light-colored trees in the courtyard, teaching her pruning techniques, and even helping to feed the fish in the pond.

Afterwards, Xi Heng went to the bathhouse to wash up, and was asked by the other party if he could come along, which he naturally refused.

After these miscellaneous tasks, the girl changed into another set of close-fitting clothes, and in the afternoon, she went with Yin Wanluan to the location of the Pure Fire Split and used the Spirit Locking Talisman to trap the spiritual energy within her.

Returning to the back of the house, it soon became night.

The sky was dark and the streets were gloomy.

The two girls quietly left the courtyard and headed out of the city.

Hell has no curfew and no guards or similar personnel.

The two were relaxed and at ease, even chatting and laughing as they left.

Yin Wanluan led the way, chatting casually:

"Speaking of which, isn't your courtyard too quiet and desolate? Have you ever considered having more people move in?"

"...Are you coming?" Xi Heng guessed the meaning behind those words.

“I usually reside in the church, so it’s not convenient for me to find another place to live.” Yin Wanluan shook her head. “I was just thinking, wouldn’t it be too lonely for you to live there alone? Would you like me to help you find a female companion?”

Xi Heng blinked, not quite understanding the other person's thoughts: "No need, I'm quite used to living alone."

"Although you and I are cultivators, we should not live in seclusion alone for many years. Otherwise, we may stray from the path of humanity and go down a remote path, which will only delay our cultivation," the other party explained.

The girl thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll hire a maid later."

However, we should wait until this mission is over and we receive the thousand spirit stones as payment first.

"No need, I can help you keep an eye out for suitable candidates."

A female companion? A suitable candidate?

Xi Heng was having trouble keeping up with the other person's train of thought.

Is this for arranging blind dates?

This guy likes me, so why is he helping me with this kind of thing?

The common knowledge in the world of cultivation... is indeed quite intriguing.

Xi Heng thought about it over and over but couldn't figure it out, so he finally chose to comply.

"Well, please."

In a hazy state, they even added a respectful title.

And so, through casual conversation while walking, they vaguely confirmed something.

Soon after, the two walked out of the city gate and immediately turned to head to a secluded spot on the side of the city.

"Change into the black robes of the Youxu Sect," Yin Wanluan said, then used her spiritual energy to change the white robe she was wearing today into a black and gray color.

Xi Heng nodded, took out a robe from his storage bag, and put it on.

A wisp of light swirled from his fingertips, activating the black robe's function to conceal his aura.

However, this thing is not an invisibility cloak after all. Even though it conceals their aura, the figures of the two people are still as clear as ever.

"Will this really allow me to avoid being detected by the spirit-locking array?" she asked instinctively.

Yin Wanluan casually replied, "The Youxu Sect has existed for over two hundred years. Although they did not steal the Pure Fire, they did discover some weaknesses in the Pure Fire Spirit Locking Array. The black-robed man's method of concealment was based on this."

"A magical artifact specifically designed to evade the Spirit Locking Array..." Xi Heng nodded slowly, then asked after a while, "So, if one wears this robe outside the Spirit Locking Array, can one safely return to the array?"

"Yes, but we need to accurately calculate the weak point on the surface of the Spirit Locking Array that can be passed through directly by the physical body," the other party said.

"This is so complicated, how do I calculate it?"

"One of the array masters in the Youxu Sect can calculate it; go and consult that person later."

After Yin Wanluan finished speaking briefly, he stopped and raised his arm to touch the air in front of him with his fingers, which were imbued with spiritual light.

"And now, the weakness is right in front of us."

Suddenly, obvious ripples appeared where she touched the air.

It's like a stone being thrown into the water, causing a violent upheaval.

A spark of light emanated from my fingertips, spreading across the ripples and forming a natural vortex.

Yin Wanluan turned around and said, "Come with me."

—And so he stepped into the vortex.

The figure became blurred and transparent as it rippled, and then disappeared in a daze.

Xi Heng followed and approached, raising his hand to touch the ripples, only to feel a twisting and contorting sensation.

With his eyes closed, he took a step and suddenly felt a cold wind fall on his face. When he opened his eyes again, he saw that he had moved from the flat open space outside the city to a field surrounded by hills and covered with withered yellow grass.

The autumn wind rustled across the grass, sending the scattered withered branches and leaves fluttering and dancing in the air.

A faint rustling sound drifted through the air, and in the distant woods, a few cicadas, still alive from the summer nights, chirped softly.

The wilderness seemed boundless, and even as a Qi Refining cultivator, standing alone amidst the vastness of nature, one would always feel as if one were but a mayfly in the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

But such feelings do not make one regretful; on the contrary, they are exhilarating.

It's just that the sudden loss of vitality is hard to get used to—it's like going from a warm spring day to a harsh winter all at once.

But this wasn't the first time she'd done this; she calmed down after just a few breaths.

The spirit-locking talisman also prevents the spiritual energy within the body from being affected by the outside world, allowing it to continue to operate and nourish the body.

Xi Heng silently looked up at the starry sky and the full moon that resembled a disc.

I don't know if it's just my imagination, but the starry sky seems clearer when I look up at it from the outside.

The blonde woman beside her also looked up at the sky, raising her hand as if trying to hold a star between her fingers, and whispered:

“Every time you come out into the outside world, you always feel like you’re being pulled out of an illusion, right?”

"It's not that intense," Xi Heng shook his head.

"That's true for me, but we both have important matters to attend to today, so let's not waste any more time on these sentiments." Yin Wanluan flicked her wrist, and the silver ring on her index finger flashed with a wisp of purple light.

The purple light, accompanied by the aura, spread out and covered the ground, transforming into a larger boat shape.

As the light faded, a wooden boat was indeed revealed.

It is two meters wide and four or five meters long. Unlike ordinary boats, which are constructed of wooden planks, it seems to have been carved directly from a large tree stump.

The flying boat was entirely made of golden glass, with a smooth appearance in every corner. Its surface was covered with many carved talismans and characters, which emitted spiritual light as Yin Wanluan placed spirit stones on it.

Several small array plates were steadily placed inside the flying boat. They were all intricate and complex, and Xi Heng's array mastery was too advanced to discern them.

As the formation was activated, the wooden boat floated up, and a spirit extended from the rear, enveloping the top of the flying boat like glass.
