Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"The Blazing Spirit Technique, take it."

The girl grabbed it and casually remarked, "Such a simple name."

“Generally speaking, cultivation techniques with simple and ancient names must have undergone many iterations. Although they may not be the highest or strongest, they are at least stable and secure,” Yin Wanluan explained.

"Then which book contains the most powerful technique here?"

"Don't aim too high," the other person repeated, but then turned to the center of the back bookshelf, took out a red-covered manual with a golden phoenix painted on the surface, handed it over, and said:

"The so-called powerful techniques exist in each person's heart, and it is difficult to make a definite conclusion... However, if you do not want to follow the rules and practice the widely used Blazing Spirit Technique, but want to take a unique path, this technique should be suitable for you."

"This technique is called the 'Crimson Phoenix Heaven-Bearing Sword Scripture,' and it is this technique that one of the strongest female cultivators in the Fire Hell cultivates."

The name of this technique was always more eye-catching than the Blazing Spirit Technique. The girl put the manual in her hand aside and took the new technique.

Turn the page and read the introduction.

At first glance, I noticed a sentence in the middle section and read it softly: "One must have a certain level of swordsmanship and martial arts skill to begin practicing..."

“That’s right. Although this is a method of cultivation, it is also an explanation of the way of the sword.” Yin Wanluan nodded and said, “If one can master the way of the sword in this manual and reach the state of unity between mind and sword, one can achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation.”

"You possess the bearing of a martial artist, so you must have some martial arts skills in the mortal realm. However, mortal martial arts have not yet reached the state of unity of mind and sword. If you are not in a hurry, you can postpone your spiritual energy cultivation and instead study the swordsmanship in the book. Once you achieve unity of mind and sword, you can then practice this skill..."

As she was explaining, she suddenly felt a sharp sword aura gradually spreading from Xi Heng's body.

"Ok?"

Yin Wanluan took a half step back.

The next moment, as if she understood something, she slowly reached out and touched the area covered by the sword's power.

Immediately, he felt the intense threat of being pointed at by dozens of sharp blades, about to be stabbed.

She closed her eyes slightly and, with her inner eye, saw numerous sword lights flashing in front of her.

She knew that as soon as the other party made a move, the sword light would transform into countless sword energies and slash fiercely at her.

When she opened her eyes again, all she saw was a young girl in a white robe, standing quietly among the bookshelves, silently reading the book in her hands.

The interplay of gold and jade, beneath the crystal-clear and bright pavilion, soft light adorns the girl's cheeks.

Her loose, long hair, along with the folds of her white robe, swayed gently as she turned the pages of her book, creating a serene and beautiful scene.

A compassionate aura emanated from the corner of her eyes, yet it was complemented by an opposite, menacing presence.

Such contradictory qualities concentrated in one person make it truly difficult to look away.

The next second, the white-haired girl slightly curled the corners of her lips and asked again, "So, can this be considered the state of mind and sword as one?"

"...I didn't expect that martial arts from other regions have developed to such a level." Yin Wanluan hesitated for a moment before answering: "Just as you said, with the cultivators gone, mortals can develop."

"Among the mortals of the Chonghai Realm, I am the only one who has reached such a level," Xi Heng said casually.

“No wonder you can cross realms…” The other party shook his head slightly and returned to the topic: “Since you can cultivate sword intent, this ‘Crimson Phoenix Heaven-Bearing Sword Scripture’ is the most suitable. You can go upstairs to choose your moves and techniques.”

"No need for techniques and spells, but may I take a copy of the Dragon Transformation Manual with me?"

Xi Heng felt that his magical techniques were already sufficient.

"Why do you insist on thinking about that dragon transformation method?" Yin Wanluan rubbed his forehead.

She made up a random excuse: "Because the Chonghai region reveres the true dragon, and I was born and raised here, it's hard to escape the common custom."

"..."

This reason was clearly not good, which caused the other person to look at him strangely.

"Fine, take it then." The person in front of him exhaled and said, "But you should think it over. Cultivating two methods will only consume extra mental energy. At the same level, your strength will be inferior to those who only cultivate one method."

"Thank you."

Xi Heng realized that he had been taken care of again, so he clasped his hands in a martial arts salute to the other party.

She didn't plan to cultivate it directly; she just wanted to take a closer look when she had some free time in the future, hoping it might give her some inspiration for her dragon transformation method.

"No need to thank me." Yin Wanluan coughed twice, barely managing to regain her previous composure.

"Now that you've chosen your cultivation method, it's time to go down there and test your talent for array formations... to determine whether you'll join my Pure Fire Sect or stay in this Myriad Treasures Pavilion."

"Okay." The white-haired girl was very obedient.

Looking at her like this, the blond-haired Yin Wanluan had an indescribable feeling.

As the daughter of the vice leader of the Pure Fire Cult, she had cultivated a saintly demeanor over a long period of time, but for some reason, she found it difficult to maintain it when facing this beautiful girl from another realm.

It's as if the other party possesses a mysterious power that makes people subconsciously loosen their layers of pretense, drop their carefully constructed psychological masks, and reveal a sliver of their true inner selves.

She had never felt this way before and wanted to know why.

Even seconds later, her gaze remained fixed on the other person's deep red eyes.

Drawn inexplicably, I forgot how to detach myself.

"Why are you spacing out?" Xi Heng asked, tilting his head.

……

……

Hello everyone, sorry for the late update. I just created a group to urge you to update more; you can join if you're interested: 720125592

Volume 1: Chapter 181 (Chapter 174) - Pushing Talismans and Unleashing Array

"Why are you spacing out?"

Inside the magnificent cultivator's pavilion, surrounded by numerous antique bookshelves.

A faint scent of vanilla surrounded two of the girls with light-colored hair.

Yin Wanluan stared at Xi Heng unconsciously for a long time, only snapping out of her daze when reminded, and gently shook her head, saying:

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

Then, she turned around calmly and left the place first.

The girl still tilted her head slightly, watching the other person's loose, pale gold hair and the extremely clean folds of their robes, which swayed gently as they moved.

She seemed to have sensed something, yet she also seemed to have felt nothing at all.

In the end, she simply smiled slightly, followed the other person's steps, and left the library-like place with two books in her hands.

We entered another glass corridor.

After passing through the corridor and reaching another attic, continue down.

Along the way, some small jade sculptures that accompanied the corridors and pavilions caught Xi Heng's eye.

Each jade sculpture is similar in size, but each has a different design.

It features fairies with flowing robes, soldiers riding on clouds, ferocious demons, and mythical beasts like dragons and phoenixes.

Furthermore, the pupils of all the jade sculptures radiate a subtle, star-like brilliance.

After observing carefully for a while, Xi Heng could see that although the jade sculptures seemed to be arranged randomly, they actually followed some rules—like the array points on an array plate.

The entire pavilion is essentially a giant array plate.

Xi Heng subconsciously memorized the location of each jade statue and the distance between them, and deduced a picture in his mind—the numerous jade statues scattered with blue starlight together formed an incomplete Vermilion Bird constellation, which consisted of seven mansions, forty-two star palaces and more than five hundred stars.

She had memorized part of the magic circle's appearance, but still didn't know what its purpose was.

The girl continued to accompany Yin Wanluan to the steps, and then went down further down—to reach the middle floor of the entire pavilion.

There were few people in the huge Wanbao Pavilion.

The blond-haired man in the white robe left an impression on her.

The two turned off the stairs and stepped down another step.

A while later, a member of Wanbaoge came to greet them and, after a brief conversation, led them to a deeper part of the pavilion.

Pull down the lever along the way, and the wooden wall at the front will slowly open like a gate.

After the operation of the mechanical device, another passage was opened.

As they stepped forward, the group stopped in the middle of the corridor.

In the corridor, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in blue robes was crouching down, sending spiritual energy to a jade statue of a horse-headed human with scales and armor at the corner of the corridor—it was none other than the array master Shao Xi.

When he saw someone approaching from the side, he put down his work, dusted off his robes, and stood up to face them.

He wasn't particularly surprised to see Xi Heng, and simply praised him:

"Is this the same young girl who came from the Chonghai Realm?"

This wasn't the first time she'd been looked at with unfamiliar eyes by acquaintances; she was already used to it.

"Yes, my name is Zhao Xiheng," he replied casually.

"The Zhao family... indeed, only the royal family could possibly find a flying boat," Shao Xi said slowly.

"I have a question: Did you enter the Myriad Treasures Pavilion hoping to learn the art of array formations, or do you simply want a quiet job there and therefore wish to learn the art of array formations?"

"Of course it's the former."

Xi Heng originally wanted to study array formations to improve his ability to control the Pure Fire.

As long as she can do this, she doesn't care which faction she joins—she doesn't even mind going underground to find the Netherworld Sect.

“This is the truth.” The other person stroked his long beard and nodded slightly: “Sincerity is one of the major criteria for entering the Wanbao Pavilion.”

Upon hearing this, Yin Wanluan's eyes flickered slightly.

"But sincerity alone is not enough. Those who cultivate array formations must have extremely high talent. If they are not true geniuses, it is difficult to inherit the treasures of the Treasure Pavilion."

"Understood." Xi Heng followed the procedure.

At the same time, he wondered if he was less talented in array formations, even though he had a photographic memory.

She had read the introductory chapter on array formations before, but she was still confused about it.

A true genius should be able to easily memorize introductory texts while reading them...

While he was pondering, the cultivator Shao Xi in front of him asked directly:

"When you arrived just now, you should have seen me surrounding this jade sculpture with my spiritual energy. Can you see the special features of this jade carving?"

“...It should be a point within the grand formation.” Xi Heng pondered for a moment before speaking.

She had just memorized the locations of the jade stones, which allowed her to make some deductions, so she continued:

"In the entire pavilion behind, numerous blue jade carvings are scattered from top to bottom, arranged in the pattern of the Seven Mansions of the Vermilion Bird. Each jade carving is a star, together forming a star palace."

"This formation is based on the Vermilion Bird, and should have connotations such as rebirth, immortality, perfection, and auspiciousness. Its main function should be to cycle and integrate spiritual energy... Moreover, the Vermilion Bird pattern has a special meaning in the formation: the Vermilion Bird is the heart of the Four Symbols and Five Departments, the residence of the Fire Official, and the palace of the Crimson Emperor. It should also have the function of gathering and sublimating the fire element."

Following the introductory text she had read before, the girl continued her explanation.

"..." Shao Xi remained silent for a while.

"The Fire Official's Office?" Yin Wanluan murmured softly from the side.

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man quickly coughed twice to draw everyone's attention back, and waved his hand, saying, "The guess is roughly correct, but this small array is only used to gather spiritual energy and fire to supply fire to the furnace in the alchemy room. There's no need to worry about it."

After saying that, he immediately changed the subject and asked, "You can talk about these things, have you read any books on array formations?"

“A beginner’s guide.” Xi Heng nodded.

She had only read it once, but she had already memorized every single word of it.

"Being able to decline these requests in such a short time already shows you've grasped the basics." Shao Xi nodded.

"However, knowledge and experience can be acquired later, but the way of array formations focuses more on the ability to perceive without words and the ability to calculate."

With a casual wave of his hand, the spiritual energy surrounding him immediately transformed into numerous strangely shaped tiny talisman characters, totaling hundreds of columns and rows, numbering in the thousands, arranged neatly and orderly.

These characters were deliberately distorted, and even though Xi Heng had learned some talismanic characters from Chen Fenghuo during the Tian Zhao period, he still could not decipher any of them.

"Remember the current order of the spirit runes."

After speaking, the other party gave Xi Heng only a few seconds before immediately scrambling the talisman characters.

The numerous neat and orderly patterns spun rapidly as if they were in a washing machine, the speed of which was so fast that even Xi Heng's eyesight could not keep up. It was only when they were completely scattered in the air that they slowly came to a stop.

"Please try to restore it as soon as possible." Shao Xi calmly adopted the attitude of an examiner.

"Should we put mortals who haven't even cultivated Qi in this way?"
