Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Once you become proficient, you can extend the spell into many variations, such as making yourself float in the air or bursting out spiritual energy in an instant to achieve a speed like flashing.

The casting steps of the Thunder Summoning Talisman are somewhat similar to those of the Blood Arrow and Fire Surge spells, both involving concentrating the spell into the spirit runes and gathering it on the skin.

However, these Taoist practitioners were clearly more skilled in using magic, and could draw magic patterns on talisman paper, which would have a spiritual effect that lasted several times longer than when pasted on the back of the hand.

After pinching the talisman, one only needs to chant an incantation and wave it to unleash lightning that shatters the boulder.

The book "Summoning Thunder Talisman" contains methods for making talisman paper and ink, which are actually just paper and ink mixed with herbs.

Along with the calligraphy, a large quantity of talisman paper and ink were also delivered.

Xi Heng picked up a talisman, dipped his fingertip in fragrant ink, pinched a spirit stone, and slowly drew a spirit pattern for summoning thunder on the paper.

"Does it require at least ten units of spiritual energy...?" she sensed.

Gradually, the spirit patterns were completely imprinted on the talisman paper. The girl held it with two fingers and went to the balcony inside the hall.

Using his light-footed skill, he stepped out and walked to a distant courtyard, where he arrived at a sword-training stone whose surface was covered with dense sword marks.

With a flick of his wrist, the talisman was extinguished in mid-air as if it had been set ablaze.

Immediately, a thunderous sound erupted, and a flash of blue light appeared, smashing a large hole in a boulder several meters wide in front of them.

The flying stones and the loud noise caused many guards around the palace to shout in succession.

Xi Heng simply stared calmly at the hole in the boulder.

"Its power is roughly equivalent to a strike from a master of internal energy cultivation, and it should also have some effect on martial artists who have reached the transformation level... It's not bad."

However, for her, it was better than nothing.

After delivering the blow, she shook her hand and turned to return to her palace residence.

"Compared to the lightning summoning spell itself, the accompanying talisman-drawing technique would be more useful. Perhaps it would be possible to inscribe blood or fire magic on the talisman as well..."

Lost in thought, I found myself stepping back onto the clean and bright carpet inside the hall.

I walked upstairs, the soft crunch of footsteps echoing in the air.

Just as they reached the second floor, a wooden door suddenly opened, and a woman wearing a simple red robe and with sleepy eyes walked out leisurely.

"Was that thunder just now?" she asked softly when she saw Xi Heng.

"Sort of?" The girl blinked. "Did I wake my senior sister up?"

"Hmm." The other person's breathing was light, and after a moment, they asked softly, "What have you been doing today, Junior Sister? Ever since I came to the capital and settled down these past few days, you seem to have been busy the whole time, only taking a break at sunset..."

"Just testing some spells." Xi Heng waved her hand; what she was doing was nothing important.

Getting my senior sister to sleep well is more important than anything else.

"Senior sister, go back and get some more sleep. I won't do anything big again."

"Hmm." Hong Miao squinted for a few seconds, then quickly circulated her internal energy to dispel the drowsiness. Her hazy voice immediately became steady and clear, and she simply said with a smile:

"No."

She turned to look at the west balcony; outside, the sky was orange-red, and the sun was gradually setting.

Then he added, "Now that things have come to this, Junior Sister, you should no longer be so busy with political affairs, right?"

"Um... Shall we do it? Now?"

She still has a spell to test, but it's fine to study it later.

"Tsk tsk." Hong Miao teased, "Why does Junior Sister only think about that one thing every day? That won't do."

Xi Heng blinked and looked down at the other person's loose-fitting clothes and the faint shadow that was vaguely visible on their chest.

Since visiting the land of Hailu and achieving the Transformation Realm, my senior sister's figure has become even more graceful and charming than before.

The glimpse of fair skin peeking out from the slit in her clothes below was enough to evoke all sorts of suggestive thoughts.

"With your senior dressed so lightly, it's hard for a normal person not to overthink things, right?" she retorted.

"It's just a nightgown. Besides, whether you wear it or not, you've seen it countless times, haven't you?" Hong Miao covered her mouth and yawned again.

“Even so,” Xi Heng wanted to argue, to prove that he had no problem.

Before I could even think of what to say, my senior sister launched a preemptive strike: "You really are a lecherous creature."

"Senior sister is the one," the girl pouted.

"Think what you want," Senior Sister Hongmiao said, seemingly unconcerned. "In any case, Junior Sister certainly has some free time right now, right?"

She said it quite naturally.

Naturally, this made Xi Heng feel a bit threatened—physically.

My senior sister came to the capital to see me a few days ago. Because we hadn't seen each other for many years, we had a rather intense time together these past few days.

Even she experienced a slight distress after her desires were satisfied.

It's definitely better to be more restrained in these kinds of things.

So, she answered from the bottom of her heart: "Although I do have free time, I'm abstaining from sex today."

Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow.

Upon hearing this, Hongmiao simply covered her lips and smiled: "Abstain from lust? Really? You?"

"Why ask three questions in a row? Is it really that unbelievable?" Xi Heng answered with a question, his expression calm.

"No, it's just that I find it funny." Hong Miao chuckled again, her voice like the gentle ringing of bells outside the courtyard.

"..."

The girl took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

"I'm going up first." She took a step.

But as soon as her right foot stepped onto the next step, her slender wrist was grabbed.

Xi Heng thought to himself, "As expected."

It wasn't that she thought about that every day, but rather that her senior sister had excessive desires.

Last night's passionate lovemaking hadn't lasted long, and I was already in the mood again when I woke up this morning... so it must be my senior sister's fault.

"How about you come out for a stroll with me today?" But what her senior sister said was not what she wanted.

"Go outside to do it?" Xi Heng blinked his eyelashes.

Hong Miao sighed, wanting to know why she had such a junior sister.

"I was just strolling around. I've been locked in the palace for the past few days since I came to the capital. It seems that I've become your concubine without even realizing it, just waiting to serve you every day."

"Oh……"

Hongmiao continued, "I remember there was a junior sister named Hongji in the Sword Academy back then. She seemed to be doing business in the capital, like running a restaurant or inn. How about we go and have a look around together?"

"Eh?"

"When I came here, I heard that the Flower Pavilion in Qin Xie Lane was managed by that junior sister."

Xi Heng was stunned for a moment, his mind racing. After a while, he pretended that nothing had happened and coughed lightly, saying, "Ahem, I suddenly remembered that I still have some official business to attend to."

"Hmm? Didn't Mingming just say she was free?" Senior Sister Hongmiao looked at her, making her feel a little pressured.

Suddenly, I remembered.

"That's a pity. I'll go by myself then." The other person shook their head and stepped back as if to go back to their room to change clothes.

"Okay, wait a minute, don't!" Xi Heng was about to nod when the image of Senior Sister Hong Miao and Junior Sister Hong Ji meeting and confronting each other flashed through his mind.

At those moments, it felt like a huge problem would arise whether I was present or not.

She's fine with other things, but when it comes to relationship issues, she always feels helpless.

"No? Why?" Senior Sister Hongmiao had just turned around when she slowly turned her gaze back.

His dark brown eyes not only showed confusion, but also hinted at something.

"Could it be that my junior sister is hiding something from me?"

……

Volume 1: Chapter 142, Parting Affection and Greed

The second floor of Fuqing Hall.

Surrounded by various house decorations in shades of gold, blue, and purple, the area around the staircase.

The two girls looked at each other from one side of the sandalwood steps, only one step apart.

Using the height of the steps, Xi Heng's height was only about the same as the other person's.

The two are at similar heights in space.

But in terms of spirit or psychology, she now always feels as if she is a head shorter.

Perhaps it was because Senior Sister Hongmiao's gaze held a hint of doubt and scrutiny.

It was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over her head, about to fall suddenly with the next word from Senior Sister Hongmiao.

In the silence between them, Xi Heng could only hear the other person's words, which sounded natural but seemed to carry a deeper meaning, implying that a wrong answer would bring misfortune.

'Have I been hiding anything from my senior sister?'

She asked herself.

There really are some, and quite a few at that.

But which one is it that Senior Sister wants to know now?

Xi Heng clearly knew which one it was.

After a few seconds of panic, the reaction was:

He gave a dry laugh.

"Hehe... um, this."

Then, he started saying things that were unclear.

She knew in her heart that this reaction was not a good choice.

But now, there aren't many good options.

It's like a game of chess where you've reached a dead end; no matter how hard you struggle, it's all in vain.

It's better to just let things take their course and leave them as they are.

"..."

Senior Sister Hongmiao gradually withdrew her gentle gaze, which turned sharp.

"Who is this? Who is that?"

"Huh?" Xi Heng sensed the implication in his words and shook his head repeatedly in denial: "No, no, it's just that..."

"There are folk tales circulating about emperors who once crossed the sea in search of immortals, and during that time, they had some stories with the holy envoys who accompanied them," Hong Miao said. "Before I came here, I was already prepared for the possibility that you might have developed some relationships with others over the past few years..."

"Huh? Really?" Xi Heng's attitude of giving up returned a little.

However, after speaking, he was met with Hong Miao's somber gaze and quickly denied it:

"Who spread this rumor? Absolutely not! Chen Fenghuo and I have no relationship whatsoever. Although we did seek immortality together, we did not have excessive contact during that time—neither of us ever thought about this."

If she knew who the source of this folk tale was, she would definitely drag that person to the execution ground in the capital and behead them immediately.

“And now.” But Hong Miao wasn’t listening to Xi Heng’s explanation at all, and continued:

"You've also developed an ambiguous relationship with Junior Sister Hongji..."

She took a deep breath, her voice tinged with resentment: "Even Junior Sister, you're making a move?"

Xi Heng rubbed his forehead, thinking that the word "make a move" sounded strange.

It's clearly mutual, isn't it?

"Um..." she wanted to explain further.

"No need to say more," Hong Miao interrupted. "Besides me, how many other people with feelings have you had?"

"..."

Xi Heng smiled wryly and held up one finger.
