Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

He took out the emblem and sent out spiritual energy, and saw that all-too-familiar scene of flowerbeds and trees again.

Bypassing it, you can see that the spirit-locking array in the courtyard pavilion is being activated.

Chen Fenghuo was sitting cross-legged inside, slowly breathing in and out his spiritual energy.

"So you've started cultivating...?"

"It's about time I advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage," she muttered to herself.

After reading it, he returned to the hall to make some preparations.

They obtained the necessary spiritual treasures, materials, elixirs, and so on.

Afterwards, just like Chen Fenghuo, he grabbed a futon in the pavilion, sat cross-legged, took the Spirit Condensation Pill and one of the few remaining Fire Essence Pills, closed his eyes, and calmed his mind to enter a state of focused cultivation.

The spiritual energy flows clearly within the body, like the pulse of blood.

It nourishes the skin, flesh, internal organs, and bones; every organ that receives its flow becomes more refined and active.

When you focus on experiencing the gathering and dispersing of spiritual energy, your breathing expands from your chest and abdomen to every inch of your body.

The body's various senses become more acute and sensitive with each breath... just like during dual cultivation.

The concentration of spiritual energy gradually increases during cultivation, becoming almost liquid.

If one can truly break through the limits and reach this rather special 'liquid state,' then one has truly achieved foundation building.

……

Time slowly passed by.

A dozen days later, Xi Heng's cultivation had just made some minor progress, and he had already taken half a step towards Foundation Establishment.

Meanwhile, in the Pure Fire Immortal Cultivation World outside the courtyard, the capture of several heretical cultivators caused quite a stir.

As if deliberately orchestrated, news of the capture of the heretical cultivator spread rapidly throughout the entire Hellfire.

Their crimes were revealed one by one and described in detail in casual conversation.

From this, everyone learned that those cultivators who were harmed by evil cultivators were mostly unaware that they were being manipulated by secret techniques such as insects, blood magic, and charm magic due to the gap in their realm and knowledge and experience.

Only when their minds break down will they show any abnormalities—but by then it will be too late.

Therefore, ordinary cultivators who were still in the Qi Refining stage in the Fire Hell began to panic and worry, fearing that they had actually been influenced by evil cultivators of a higher realm but were unaware of it.

Then, naturally, some cultivators petitioned the Pure Fire Sect to investigate the heretical cultivators in the entire Fire Hell.

In this way, the Pure Fire Sect could also expand its own power, so it naturally agreed.

Even though there were some dissenting voices, they were insignificant in the face of the overall situation.

Two months later, after the Pure Fire Sect had finished searching its own territory and uncovered several so-called evil cultivators who were causing trouble among ordinary cultivators, it reached out to the Seven Sect Alliance, demanding that they be investigated.

The Seven Sects Alliance naturally disagreed, instead claiming that the entire affair was orchestrated by the Pure Fire Sect.

The Pure Fire Cult only responded with verbal attacks and did not launch a forced investigation.

However, as a result, rumors quickly spread in the Fire Hell that the so-called evil cultivators were all cultivators of the Seven Sects Alliance.

Even among ordinary cultivators, they have begun to regard it as an evil sect or demonic faction.

Although the Seven Sects Alliance tried to refute it, its number of members was far too small compared to the Pure Fire Sect, which had united 80% of the cultivators in the Fire Hell.

Furthermore, due to the tacit approval of the Pure Fire Sect, the rumors of the "evil sect and demonic faction" spread throughout the Fire Hell in just one month.

Not long after, before the incident had subsided, the sect announced the identity of the first cultivator to capture the heretical practitioner, publicly praising and rewarding him with a large amount of spirit stones.

Upon hearing this, some members of the Seven Alliance blamed this person for the cold treatment and discrimination they had recently suffered.

After all, there have rarely been any chaotic incidents caused by heretical practices like this recently.

In the Pure Fire Cultivation World, cultivators rarely die unexpectedly throughout the year; people only focus on matters of longevity and Pure Fire sacrifices.

They were eager to know why someone would bother a heretical cultivator who couldn't possibly cause any major trouble.

Among the Seven Sect Alliance, there are indeed a few cultivators who follow the evil path. When they go out to the outside world to do missions from time to time, they will use ordinary people to practice evil techniques.

Therefore, they really can't shake off the label of "evil sect" and can only complain.

As for the identity and title announced by the Pure Fire Sect, it is naturally Zhao Xiheng, the one who received the blessing of fire, the follower of the Holy Maiden, and the newcomer of the Dharma Protector Hall.

……

Xi Heng himself was unaware of what had happened outside the courtyard in those few months.

She focused solely on cultivating her skills in silence, avoiding any involvement in external affairs, and progressed towards the Foundation Establishment stage.

It wasn't until one day during a break that I heard a series of footsteps coming from outside the courtyard gate that I slowly opened my eyes and looked over.

Then they sensed that a dozen or so members of the Pure Fire Cult were approaching the courtyard gate, carrying small boxes of spirit stones.

"The reward we agreed on before doesn't seem to be that much, does it?" Xi Heng tilted his head.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 218 (Second Hundred and Nine), Foundation Building Tree

A series of footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.

Xi Heng's family home is located in a secluded spot next to Jinghuo Bendu. Few outsiders pass by in front of the door. Usually, only Yin Wanluan comes to visit—it's rare to encounter so many visitors.

The girl in the pavilion slowly opened her eyes, stabilized the fluctuations of spiritual energy within her body, and then got up and left her cultivation state.

He casually snapped his fingers, breaking the seal on the courtyard gate, which then opened slowly and automatically.

The person outside was already standing in front of the door, about to knock lightly, but she interrupted them.

These people were all dressed in white robes, the symbol of the Fire Purification Cult, with hoods on their heads and white wooden scepters in their hands.

Most of them were carrying boxes of various sizes, and the tallest figure was carrying a wooden box that looked quite heavy and was a meter wide.

Xi Heng used his spiritual sense, which could penetrate the surface of the box, to scan it and roughly estimate the concentration and quantity of spiritual energy inside. He concluded that there should be no less than five thousand spirit stones inside.

Even when tasked with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator while in the Fire Hell, the reward is rarely in the thousands.

As for ordinary Qi cultivation, the tasks and jobs that can be found in the Receiving Hall will never pay more than two hundred.

He was still only at the Qi Refining stage, yet he received such a reward simply by sending out a few heretical cultivators... It seemed strange no matter how he thought about it.

Perhaps it's Yin Wanluan's side that's transferring the assets of the Pure Fire Sect?

As Xi Heng pondered, the Pure Fire Sect cultivator at the door stepped forward and performed the sect's salute, saying:

"Your Excellency captured three demonic and evil cultivators in the Fire Hell, deterring a large number of evil cultivators. This is a special reward that Vice Sect Leader Yin Xiangsheng ordered us to present."

She recognized him; he was the fire mage who had faced her and surrendered during the finals of the sect alliance competition years ago.

After speaking, the person stepped back and made way, allowing a dozen or so cultivators to enter the courtyard and place the exquisitely carved wooden boxes and chests into the courtyard one by one.

One of the taller men carried a huge box, and Xi Heng subconsciously reached out to take it, but it was so heavy that he seemed quite unsteady.

"Heave-ho..." So he quickly took half a step back and put the box back on the ground.

He clapped his hands before asking:

"The reward we agreed on in the Dharma Protector Hall doesn't seem to be that much, does it?"

"This was personally decided by the Vice Leader," the other party simply replied.

The vice-leader of the Fire Prison is Yin Wanluan's father, so it seems that Yin Wanluan was indeed transferring assets...

The white-robed monk in front put down the wooden box and retreated outside the courtyard. Without wasting any more time, they performed the Buddhist ritual together and then withdrew.

Xi Heng tilted her head and returned the greeting. Before long, these cultivators left her perception range.

Then he turned his gaze back to the ground beside him, where various boxes and containers were stacked together around the large box, resembling a parcel collection station.

A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling her soft, flowing white hair.

Xi Heng subconsciously brushed her hair behind her ears, gathered her skirt, squatted down, and opened the treasure chests displayed on the ground one by one.

It was full of spirit stones, spirit stones... and a large number of spirit stones.

"With so many boxes, I thought there would be something special inside."

They were all standard Fire Prison Spirit Stones, radiating a bluish-green fluorescence, arranged neatly and orderly, and perfectly sized.

"many."

After opening all the wooden boxes, Xi Heng looked at the spirit stones that were constantly shimmering with light, and felt that they were a bit dazzling.

So he rubbed his eyes with both hands, shook his head to send out a gentle burst of spiritual light, and then closed all the open wooden boxes.

"Even if it's used to buy Foundation Establishment Pills, this is more than enough, right?" Xi Heng muttered to himself.

The task she undertook was merely to move the completely powerless evil cultivator from one place to another, yet she received such a reward; it was truly unbelievable.

"Perhaps... these are Yin Wanluan's way of filling the vacancies in the Youxu Sect, not for me?"

After all, she has no use for these spirit stones at the moment. She already has all the pills and spiritual materials needed before Foundation Establishment, and she doesn't know what to buy with such a large amount of spirit stones.

Xi Heng pondered for a moment and decided to wait for Yin Wanluan to arrive before paying any more attention to the piles of spirit stone boxes in front of him.

He nodded and turned back to the small pavilion where he practiced.

After this minor setback, Xi Heng continued his journey toward Foundation Establishment.

Time passes, and the years change.

During the long period of cultivation, the sky changed rapidly.

Almost every time I opened my eyes, it was daytime, and the next time it turned into night.

Light and darkness overlap repeatedly on the earth and in the sky, flowing continuously like a yin-yang symbol.

As the girl in the pavilion continued to inhale and exhale spiritual energy, circulating it throughout her body to increase the concentration and quality of the spiritual energy, another blonde woman in the same courtyard had already ended her two-month-long seclusion and achieved the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Chen Fenghu left the spirit-gathering array that enveloped the pavilion and began to do some daily tasks to rest, such as pruning flower branches and feeding the fish in the pond.

But while doing these things, he would glance at Xi Heng's direction every now and then.

Now, the white-haired girl in the pavilion seems to have turned into a sculpture, motionless.

Her serene sitting posture, her peaceful closed eyes, and the folds of her loose-fitting clothes are quite similar to the statues of goddesses enshrined in temples in the mortal world.

Yet there is no statue that can show a similar temperament to Xi Heng.

A rich aura surrounded the girl in the pavilion, swaying slightly with her breathing, like strands of transparent silk ribbons.

The radiance reflected on her exquisite face, adding to her ethereal and mysterious aura.

The legendary fairy who descended to earth was probably no more than this, wasn't she?

Or is it just wishful thinking on my part that this is the case?

Chen Fenghuo pondered silently.

...If only I could stay with Xi Heng forever.

But the future is uncertain, so how can we achieve this?

She stood amidst the blooming flowers of late spring, her hand reaching out slightly before falling back down.

……

The seasons change.

Xi Heng began his seclusion in the spring, and after passing through late summer and early autumn, winter was approaching.

A few tender new branches had sprouted in the flower bed, but most of the rest had withered and hardened. A large number of fallen leaves and scattered flowers lay scattered on the mud and soil. The bare flower branches were easily cut off by Chen Fenghuo with scissors.

Click.

The branches fell, landing on the soft soil where frost had already formed.

As she trimmed her hair, the blonde girl glanced back at the pavilion and whispered:

"It's been seven months... When will you wake up?"

Although it is known that the higher a cultivator's realm, the longer the time required for seclusion.

But she really wasn't used to it, and after living alone for so long, she felt a little lonely.

Perhaps this is just how relationships are between cultivators...

Chen Fenghuo comforted herself with this thought and silently continued her daily work.
