Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Xi Heng regained his free time and returned to his daily routine of buying groceries and cooking.

Nowadays, when I go out, I no longer often receive the kind of gazes that seem to be resisting or alienating me.

Those who used to look at her like that now have great respect for her. I wonder what kind of story Chen Fenghuo made up for her back then.

"Even when I buy things, I get a discount. It's so strange."

She thought as she returned.

Back home, while preparing a meal and chatting with Yin Wanluan, I learned about the news.

“You said…” Xi Heng blinked: “The rumors outside are that you and I did our best to save Chen Fenghuo’s life when he was in critical condition?”

"That's what's said, but we still don't know exactly how Miss Chen told the story at the time."

"No wonder I got discounts when I bought things today," the girl muttered to herself.

"I received some preferential treatment when I purchased fabric a few days ago, which reduced my costs considerably—these recent orders will bring in a lot of money," Yin Wanluan said with a light laugh.

"That's true... But we're already living quite well, so what are we going to do with all that money we earn next?"

"When it's time to leave, use this money to help the poor," the other party said.

“Using money earned from the rich to help the poor can be considered a good deed that does not involve bad karma.”

"How kind of her," Xi Heng said.

“You have already saved countless lives across countless realms. If we were to rank them, there might not be many people in the world more virtuous than you,” Yin Wanluan retorted.

"I just did it casually, I didn't put in much effort."

Xi Heng waved her hand, feeling that she wasn't a particularly kind person.

Just a normal person, right?

"Speaking of which, what are your goals for the future?" Yin Wanluan suddenly asked her.

"after?"

"What will you do or want to do after you advance, overcome tribulations, or attain enlightenment, or after you cultivate to the highest realm?" she asked very clearly.

"Well……"

Indeed, Xi Heng was stumped by the question.

She hesitated for a moment, tapping her cheek repeatedly with her fingertips, before slowly uttering an answer:

"At least, let's get through the apocalypse of this entire void."

"If you succeed, what will you do next?" Yin Wanluan was not surprised by the answer and calmly continued to ask.

"After that, let's go see the scenery beyond the void. Perhaps there's another world out there," Xi Heng replied after thinking for a moment.

"And then what?" the other person asked, clearly interested.

"Perhaps, I could try to find my hometown." A trace of memory lingered in the black-haired girl's eyes, and some images floated in her mind.

"If we find it, shall we go back?"

"We can either take everyone back together, or continue operating the Spirit Fire Space and travel back and forth between the two worlds."

Xi Heng fantasized for a moment.

However, I always feel that these things are still very, very far away from who I am now.

“Everyone…” Yin Wanluan repeated these three simple words, but did not ask any further questions, only saying:

"Will you still live a simple life like you do now when that time comes?"

"Probably?" Xi Heng blinked and said.

"These things are hard to predict. Maybe we'll encounter some obstacles that will make it difficult to accomplish, or maybe we'll suddenly change our minds along the way."

"Um……"

The two were lost in their own thoughts, causing a brief silence to fall during the meal.

After a while, Yin Wanluan recited softly again:

"Do you think that attaining immortality might bring some negative changes?"

"No way." She shook her head.

Attaining immortality is the realm that cultivators have been pursuing for thousands of years.

Since one has already embarked on the path of cultivation, the outcome is either death along the way or reaching the end; there is no other way.

Xi Heng had never doubted this in the slightest, nor would he stop his progress.

“Yes, no way…” Yin Wanluan seemed to agree with the answer, but it was as if she only said this so as not to disturb Xi Heng’s state of mind.

Deep down, I still have some worries.

"Why are you suddenly asking this?" Xi Heng asked.

"It just occurred to me that someone as special as you might truly become an immortal in the future," she said.

"So, I wonder, if you ascended to the legendary immortal realm, would you be separated from the mortal world... and never see it again?"

"No, no," the girl shook her head and said, "Immortals can certainly do more than cultivators of lower realms, not less."

"That's true..." Whether Yin Wanluan had truly come to terms with it or not, he simply met her gaze and said:

"When you become an immortal, don't forget me."

"I don't know if I can become an immortal yet," Xi Heng chuckled. "But of course, I won't forget."

She still has no clue about the matter of severing the three corpses and ascending to immortality.

When Xi Heng was traveling around preaching, he also tried to find ancient books about the practice of severing the three corpses.

However, the true method to achieve immortality may not be able to be recorded in books or written form.

There are very few books that mention the elimination of the three corpses, and even those that do only mention it briefly.

Later, she gradually stopped thinking about it and entrusted the task of gathering information to a special department within the Cross-Boundary Pure Fire Sect.

Have them search through ancient books, texts, and antiques throughout the myriad worlds, trying to find any relevant clues.

However, that department worked for decades without finding any truly useful information.

'Perhaps the inspection wasn't thorough enough at the time. I'll go back and check it several more times after my life in the mortal realm is over,' Xi Heng thought.

For now, just continue to focus on the life in front of you.

Volume 1: Chapter 419, Idle Clouds and Lonely Crane

Time continued to flow by, and four months had passed since the last sales boom at Yuyi Pavilion.

Traffic eventually returned to normal as people's interest waned.

When things finally calmed down, Xi Heng once again handed over the counter of Yuyi Pavilion to the young girl he had recruited to help look after the shop.

He then went next door to clean and tidy up Xiaoyuxuan.

After cleaning and rearranging the furniture, the large medicine cabinet was moved from one side to the other. The tables, chairs, and utensils in the clinic were also organized. Then, over the next few days, many jars of special medicines that were only sold in their own shop were brewed...

Once everything was finally ready, Xi Heng hired another girl who knew about medicinal herbs to help keep an eye on things, and then opened the shop to announce that it was reopening.

As Xi Heng had predicted, the opening day saw a large influx of people.

Many local doctors who used to buy special medicines in bulk from the clinic, as well as people who regularly kept medicines on hand to prevent and treat certain occupational diseases, all came to the clinic.

Because these people had simple goals, they would buy what they needed and leave as soon as they entered, which didn't take much time, and Xi Heng had prepared enough medicine.

Therefore, the clinic's activities in the first few days after its opening consisted entirely of people coming to buy specific medicines.

Only a handful of people actually came for treatment, and they were all suffering from minor ailments. A simple diagnosis and prescription were all that was needed to complete the treatment.

“Running this kind of small clinic is indeed much easier than Yin Wanluan’s custom clothing shop…” Xi Heng thought.

Although even the best-selling medicines need to be brewed by oneself, ordinary people, even if they know the recipe, would find it difficult to brew it with enough precision.

But just one boil is enough to fill many medicine jars, enough for many days.

"Compared to other places, we only made less money here."

Usually, after spending two hours preparing the medicine, Xi Heng would return to the back courtyard to prepare the meal.

Day after day passed by so easily.

There are not many changes every day, so I always feel that time flies by.

……

Another year has passed in the blink of an eye.

As autumn night fell, Xi Heng was humming a tune as he slowly brewed new medicine when he suddenly heard someone outside shouting for fire and water. He stopped stirring the medicine, left the room, and looked in that direction.

It was clear that a bright light was burning not far away, quickly covering the entire towering building like a ferocious beast, accompanied by piercing screams and a continuous stream of shouts.

Looking out from the courtyard, one can still vaguely see figures moving about on the upper part of the burning building.

It appears that more than one person is trapped atop that burning building.

A few seconds later, a slender figure fell from the high-rise building, its clothes still glowing with flickering flames, like a piece of burning roof beam that had fallen.

"Fire!"

Xi Heng estimated the location of the fire.

The brothel that caught fire was one of the more famous ones in Qin Xie Lane, and the surrounding neighborhood shops and buildings were all wooden buildings with carved beams and painted rafters.

Even though most buildings are coated with special fire-retardant materials, they cannot withstand such a raging fire for long.

If the fire cannot be brought under control quickly, it will likely spread and burn down the adjacent streets and alleys, all the way to her small courtyard.

At the same time, deathly energy began to spread from some of the firefighters who had gathered in the distance to fight the fire.

"Even before the fire arrives, the deathly aura emanating from the person is already apparent... Is this karma?"

"If you use magic to reverse the current situation, you will be entangled in karma."

Although this small karmic consequence meant nothing to her, she still saved people whenever she wanted.

As the fire raged higher in the distance, another figure screamed and fell from the burning brothel.

He flashed briefly before being engulfed by flames again.

Meanwhile, some of the injured had already been rescued and were being carried by others towards Xiaoyuxuan, her small clinic, which was the closest place to the fire.

Just as the young girl was about to prepare to treat the patient, another person walked out of the nearby Feather Robe Pavilion. It was Yin Wanluan.

"Is it on fire?" She looked over as well.

"Ah."

"Should we go rescue them?"

“This seems to be a tribulation that some people are destined to suffer, the result of many causes coming together… This is how the way of Heaven works, there is no need to deliberately change it,” Xi Heng said.

She had emerged from the apocalypse of countless worlds, witnessing the destruction of countless realms firsthand.

The small flame burning before her, and the mere dozen or so people about to perish, did not stir her thoughts.

He silently offered his blessings to the strangers in the distance, assessed the intensity of the fire, and then prepared to treat the injured who were rushing toward him.

Although the fire was huge, Qin Xie Lane was, after all, a bustling area of ​​the capital, and its fire prevention measures were much more complete than those of other places, so it should be able to be contained to a certain extent.

She put aside her thoughts and returned to her small pharmacy.

Before long, people with burns began to crowd in from outside.

The injured either ran there on their own or were carried in by others, each groaning in pain and crying out for help.

Although Xi Heng had no intention of breaking the rules with Yin Wanluan, he used magic to completely extinguish the fire.

But as a local doctor, he was quite dedicated to his duties.

Before long, the medicine for treating burns was prepared and handed to the accompanying person to apply to the burned area before bandaging and applying the medicine.

Working until late at night, some patients with minor injuries received simple treatment and left one by one after thanking the staff.

Xi Heng then prepared some medicine to relieve pain and promote sleep, distributing it in bowls so that more than a dozen patients suffering from insomnia in the small ward could rest. He himself yawned and returned to his room.

When I wake up tomorrow morning, the fire outside will have been extinguished.
