Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"Alright, when do we set off?"

"Let's get started right away, pay first." The other party spread their hands.

Jin You was a little worried, but since he was under someone else's roof, he still handed over one of the two crystal cores he had left at his waist.

"A second-tier spirit core? Not bad." The gloomy black face finally broke into a smile: "The price of this thing has recently risen to 570. I'll give you some extra care on the way. Come with me."

The other person turned and walked outside, and Jin You cautiously followed.

A moment later, he followed this man onto the back of a boat.

Besides her, there were six other people on the boat, half of whom were nervous and suspicious, looking at each figure with fear that they might be abducted to some place and have their organs harvested.

The man in black approached and laughed, "Don't worry, our Zhou Tai Gang is different from those unethical bastards from the Living Kill Hall and the Intercepting Meridian Temple. Since you've paid us, we should get things done—we've got enough people, let's set off!"

The boatman at the bow responded and manipulated the boat's wheels to speed away from the spot.

The journey was smooth and uneventful, and in less than an hour, the boat arrived at the outskirts of the city controlled by Zhou Tai's gang.

The gray-haired girl disembarked from the airship with the other passengers and entered the city through a long underground passage.

Before me lay a ruined city, completely different from the bustling city center. The houses were mostly dilapidated, patched up with wooden blocks and iron sheets to barely provide shelter for people.

The setting sun cast its light on the densely packed broken walls and ruins, making the scene appear heavy and desolate.

The faded statues in the middle of the road are missing limbs, the bricks and tiles are broken, and the doors and windows are shattered, making it seem like a completely different world from the bustling and colorful central area of ​​Xiping.

People can barely survive here. Along the roads, you can see people sitting in front of their dilapidated homes, smoking and slumped on the ground.

After a long time, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the city. Zhou Taibang then led everyone to register the bloodline identification code and currency account required in the city.

Jin You did not go with them to complete the process. Instead, she found the man in black who had led her into the city afterward and asked him to recommend a special array master who could change the bloodline identification code and rebuild the account identity.

The other person glanced at her a few more times and led her to the edge of the city controlled by Zhou Tai's gang.

During the journey, they chatted casually, and he said, "It seems you got into trouble in the outer city and that's why you came here. What kind of work do you want to do after you get into the city?"

"Bounty hunter".

"Judging by your appearance, you look like you're risking your life." The other party handed over a card:

"Add me on the phone. This is a broker we have a good relationship with, named Guangyuan. He's a bald monk. We might need you for some work later."

"Thank you." Jin You's words were brief.

"You're welcome. The Zhou Tai Gang's motto is to make more friends and fewer enemies. The other gangs in Xiping City aren't much better, so be careful when you're working." The burly man in black smiled.

"I see."

She only took this route into the city today because Zhou Tai's gang had some credibility; otherwise, the prices on other routes would have been much lower.

"We've arrived." The other party waved, and the airship stopped in front of a dilapidated square building that looked like an unfinished project. "The person you're looking for works in room 07 on the thirteenth floor. She knows you're here, so just go up and discuss the price."

Jin You nodded and got out of the car. He walked along the road in the abandoned city and entered the unfinished building that looked like a skeleton. He then walked around the stairs without railings to the thirteenth floor and knocked on the only wooden door on the floor.

Before long, clear footsteps came from behind the door, which was not soundproof at all.

The door was open, revealing a thin, pale-faced woman with dark circles under her eyes and light red hair.

She was wearing a blue bathrobe, and yawned as if she hadn't woken up properly before glancing at the person outside the door.

Then he muttered to himself:

"The Ink Control Carved Insect Type IV has decent internal array patterns and mounting components... but why are there so many trashy spirit bodies attached to it?"

"The original one broke, and I'm short on money lately, so I'll just make do with this one." Jin You answered simply before getting to the point: "How much does it cost to reconstruct my bloodline identity and account here?"

"Three hundred and fifty." The other person rubbed their eyes, stepped back, opened the door, and said, "Come in."

"...Why is everything more expensive than before?"

"What else could it be? Money's gone cheap." The red-haired woman grabbed a handful of loose hair from her hair.

She blew her hair to the side in distress, rubbed her temples, and returned to her workstation—a tabletop composed of stacks of circular array plates, some standing upright and others lying flat.

Then, she threw a small, clear bottle at Jin You: "Squeeze half a bottle of blood at me."

The girl silently took out a knife and gently pricked her finger, drawing blood.

As the blood flowed into the bottle, Xi Heng reappeared.

She looked at the table in the room, which was covered with glowing array patterns, and her eyes flickered as she calculated the use of each array.

Ultimately, based on her outdated knowledge of array formations, she could only determine that the main function of these formations was to transmit and receive information, and that they were composed of countless tiny basic array patterns combined with some extremely unique and exquisite array patterns.

"It looks like some kind of large integrated circuit?" Xi Heng mused.

The red-haired woman manipulating the array plate touched the array patterns, and the spiritual light transformed into a clear image that played smoothly.

As the other party's fingertips moved rapidly, the array patterns changed, and more and more arrays gradually appeared on the spiritual light screen.

She reached out and conjured a formation, which unfolded, causing other formations to gradually disappear, while the conjured formation program expanded and took shape.

"Yes." At this moment, Jin You had already prepared the blood and handed it over.

"Okay, let's wait for the program to analyze for a quarter of an hour." The red-haired woman stood up, moved the spirit array she had found to another table, and took the blood bottle and placed it on a special shelf.

The array's spiritual light rippled, slowly seeping into the blood.

Xi Heng, standing to the side, seemed to be deep in thought: "It's like a combination of some kind of blood magic array and disintegration array, and it also has some kind of transmission ability?"

"Drawing array programs, activating them with spiritual light when needed to accomplish various functions... Is this what array masters in your world are like?"

She turned to Jin You, who was bandaging her wound, and asked:

"Tell me, can I learn and use this array master's techniques within your body?"

……

Volume 1: Chapter 262, Fully Armed

In the dimly lit room, on the cluttered table at the front, an array emitting a pale blue glow was rotating around the blood vial on the iron rack.

Strands of array patterns pierced the bottle like fine needles, and spiritual energy was channeled into it, causing the crimson blood to gradually lighten and turn into an orange-yellow hue.

Beside her, a white-haired girl with an ethereal figure was quietly watching the formation's operational trajectory, using her spiritual sense to analyze the ingenious use and structure of this formation's program.

However, she knew very little about this kind of outer domain formation, and many parts were difficult to understand. Some structures were so complex that she couldn't even guess what they were.

"Is this difficult to learn?" Xi Heng's previous question only earned him a glance and was ignored. This time, he moved closer and patted Jin You's shoulder to ask.

"Sigh." Jin You sighed and replied softly, rubbing her forehead.

“There are people around. I don’t want to be seen as a mentally unstable lunatic.”

The white-haired girl tilted her head, and it took her a few seconds to understand what the other person was saying.

After a moment, I came up with a solution:

"Try communicating with me intentionally with your mind and see if it works?"

"..." The other person glanced at it again, hesitated, and then transmitted their voice through their mind: "Like this?"

“It’s a little blurry, but it doesn’t matter.” Xi Heng discerned: “Indeed, because your divine sense is so close to mine, I can clearly sense any obvious fluctuations.”

"You... could you possibly read my mind?" Jin You pursed his lips.

"No, ordinary thoughts are still too vague." The white-haired girl gently shook her head, then turned her gaze back to the magic circle beside her, returning to the main point:

"The array techniques I have mastered are difficult to directly connect with the array techniques of this world. I may need to learn them from scratch. If you have time, could you buy me a basic array manual, or even a jade slip containing knowledge?"

"Is the manual one of those rare paper books? And what is the Spirit Jade Slip?"

"...What do you mainly use as a medium for writing in your area?" Xi Heng asked after a few seconds of silence.

“Micro-array blades.” Jin You walked to a wooden chair on the side of the room and sat down, extending her right hand towards her collarbone.

With a light press, a round, flat leaf about the size of a thumb can be removed from the illuminated array pattern interface.

When Xi Heng focused his spiritual sense on this object, he could perceive faint yet complex fluctuations of spiritual light within it.

"How do I use this?"

After showing it to Xi Heng, the gray-haired girl put it back in the collarbone position.

The array patterns on her body suddenly flashed with a faint light, and the next moment the dense array patterns on her collarbone separated, forming many neat and standardized characters in front of her accompanied by spiritual light.

The first thing to appear is the cover, with large, upright characters neatly placed at the top.

The document is titled: "A Compilation of Essays on the Purchase of New and Used Homes in Urban Areas."

"..." The white-haired girl remained silent for a long time.

Then, Jin You used his finger to manipulate the array patterns, and the book in front of him turned to the next page.

There's also a rotary button that allows you to quickly adjust the page to a specific position, which looks quite convenient.

"That's how you use it, how about it?" Jin You pointed.

"I feel a little sorry for him..." Xi Heng thought to himself.

However, he nodded on the surface and said, "Then buy a book of micro-array leaflets that records knowledge of array formations. You can memorize it by flipping through it in front of me. It won't take too long. As for payment, I can help you with some array master work after I've finished learning."

"Learning this is really troublesome; it usually takes ten or twenty years." Jin You casually flipped through the home-buying tutorial in front of her.

“I’m not within the usual scope,” Xi Heng said with a slight smile.

"...The items aren't too expensive." The gray-haired girl nodded in final agreement.

Xi Heng thanked him and then disappeared.

In the dimly lit room, the red-haired woman emerged from a small corner room to wash her face, smoothed her messy hair, and then grabbed a gray, biscuit-like food, munching on it as she approached.

"What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Jin You immediately put away the text in front of her, and the scattered array patterns returned to her collarbone.

"Miscellaneous books on fragrance and color? Would you like me to recommend a few?" the other person said with a smile.

"Things to Know When Buying a House"

"Tsk tsk." The red-haired woman shook her head, tiptoed closer to the activated array, and said sarcastically, "This guy works himself to death to buy a house, and he's basically tied to this dilapidated mud house for the rest of his life."

"I won't take out a loan, I'll buy it all."

"You're a bounty hunter. How many times would you have to risk your life to buy a house outright?" The other person shook his head: "I hope you're still alive two months from now."

"I hope so." Jin You exhaled, tilting her head back.

After a while, the red-haired woman, who had been operating the two array plates on the round table, finally stopped. She contracted the array covering the blood bottle and put it back on the main array plate. Then she poured the blood into a spirit body insert and handed it over.

"Install this, and after thirty breaths, remove it to go out and rebuild your bloodline code and open a new account." She yawned: "Any other services? If not, thank you for the 350."

"Other services?" Jin You took the insert, removed his left leg, and attached it to the spirit body installation piece.

Then, she felt a cool rush of blood into her body, which made her more alert.

"For example, fine-tuning the spiritual body, opening a backdoor for array patterns, etc. I can also try to decipher more special procedures, but I don't do the kind of intrusion or intelligence work that black array masters do." The red-haired woman held up a few fingers, then chuckled, "By the way, we've recently added hair dyeing to our services, want to try it?"

"Even a lowly, insignificant type can open a back door?" Jin You asked.

This was the latest model she specifically changed into before her last operation at the company.

"Although it's a new type, the manufacturing process is no different from the Type II and Type III. It can also erase the protection paradigm and overclock by 40%. By changing the interface device, we can improve the efficiency of array pattern information transmission and speed up the response. We can also integrate and install a shield against spiritual light vibrations for you... It'll just be a bit more expensive." She rubbed her fingers together.

The gray-haired girl shook her head: "I've heard that overclocking array patterns can easily lead to madness, so I'd better not."

"Those lunatics are caused by their mental strength being unable to support their spiritual bodies. As long as the extent of the modification is controlled, it is still possible."

"I'll choose another service." Jin You wanted to change her appearance so that she wouldn't be recognized.

"Oh?" The red-haired woman smiled, placing a finger to her lips.

How much does it cost to dye my hair?

"Twenty." The other person clicked their tongue and went back into the messy inner room.

During this time, he turned around, poked his head out of the door, and asked again, "What color should I dye it? For gray hair, I recommend highlights of dark brown or purple-pink."

"black."

……

Some time later, the girl with dyed black hair emerged from the perfume-scented inner room, her mask still on her face.

"Thank you for the 370." The red-haired woman following her spread her hands.

Jin You quietly took out a crystal core radiating spiritual light from her waist and delivered it.
