Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

"Qianqi..."

"It's that guy who always puts on shows or idol-related glamorous things in the city center."

“I know, I often go to see him—wait, wait.” The obviously weak scholar covered his head with one hand, constantly recalling the person in the heavens he had seen in those few short seconds, and comparing him with the idol in his mind.

"It seems, yes, very similar," he said slowly.

"..." Then, it was Jin You's turn to fall silent.

"Who?" Only Xi Heng remained confused: "You know her?"

"I suppose so," Jin You said slowly to herself.

Across the table, the researcher also stood there stunned, and stammered out a question:

"Your Highness Qianqi, is it... Gao Tianren?"

"Don't ask any more questions. You'd better keep this to yourself forever." Jin You's eyes grew cold as he stared at the other person and said, "Also, you said you've studied the Glazed Flame. Tell me about it as well, and I'll add another two thousand to the reward."

It took the other person a few seconds to come to their senses. Thinking of the reward and money, they suppressed their surprise and replied:

"I have a document that records information about Fire Glaze... wait a moment."

Jin You nodded, her eyes sparkling.

Xi Heng sensed that the other person was in a turbulent state of mind, so he didn't deliberately disturb them.

After a while, the researcher returned with a pale gold leaf, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards the researchers.

"Scan it for me..." Jin You barely managed to focus on reality, pinching a leaf and facing Xi Heng.

The white-haired girl reached out, and a ray of light suddenly rose from Jin You's shoulder, connecting to the miniature array patterns on the leaves.

After a month, Xi Heng had learned enough array knowledge to be considered a third-tier Black Array Master.

The heart-shaped black lace detailing on Yoo's new outfit on her shoulder will be used by her.

“It’s clean,” Xi Heng said easily.

So Jin You inserted it into the collarbone socket and began to examine the information inside.

"The Glazed Fire Egg... Phoenix Blood Aura... Brewing Spiritual Fire, Incorruptible and Uncorrupted, Within it the Divine Soul Occasionally Drifts and Fluctuates, When a Person Approaches It, the Spiritual Fire Within Is Drawn In, There Are Certain Requirements for the Selected Person, There Is a Possibility of Possession..."

Jin You wasn't in the mood to look at all the complicated text right now. He only glanced at it before closing the interface and looking at the trader in front of him, saying:

"The goods are good, the total reward is five thousand."

She flicked her finger easily, and a thin thread extended, connecting to the other person.

After transferring the five thousand yuan, just as he was about to get up and leave, the researcher beside him suddenly spoke up:

"You are possessed by this crystal fire egg... right?"

Jin You frowned and looked back.

"It seems I guessed right, and being possessed by it probably won't be easy. This kind of thing is far too powerful for us mortals," said Scholar Bai.

"I want to break free from the possession, or have her possess another body first. What should I do?" Now that he had been seen through, Jin You asked with a "nothing to lose" attitude.

"Mortals are completely unable to control this thing; only those of higher realms, far surpassing our own, might have some way to deal with it."

"Nonsense." Jin You snorted coldly, turned around and left the gate.

Step out of the room and walk through the corridor and stairwell.

Not long after, she went back downstairs.

The corpses in front of the abandoned building have not been cleared away; they lie quietly at the entrance, ignored by everyone.

Back on the sidewalk, Jin You reopened the information about Fire Glass and read it as she walked.

Xi Heng's illusory figure walked beside him, observing, and asked, "What's next?"

The gray-haired girl hesitated for a moment before replying:

"...We can't just do nothing. Since we can't see any other way, we can only try to find Gao Tianren, for your sake and for mine."

Xi Heng nodded, then asked curiously, "Are you going to find that idol you mentioned earlier, the one named Qian Qi?"

Jin You didn't want to speak, but simply nodded slightly in return.

"Is it possible?"

"At least give it a try. She's been a friend of mine for a long time." The other person turned their head to look at the setting sun in the distance.

……

Volume 1: Chapter 273, Trapped in the Past

After obtaining information about the White Flame, Xi Heng handed over the promised Azure Spirit Stones during the subsequent operation.

Although she currently has no physical body and is only a phantom soul, it is still quite easy for her to take things out of her inventory.

Simply chant a command, and a bright blue square will appear in front of the phantom. Swipe it a couple of times to grab the item from it.

Although it will fall to the ground after being taken out, because her hand is not a real object.

But the things are also clearly visible.

The spirit stone fell onto the sidewalk and was caught by Jin You with both hands.

"Wow, it's huge... I've never seen such a large spirit essence mine before." She weighed it in her hand for a few moments and realized that it was more valuable than she had imagined.

Xi Heng smiled slightly, looking at the other person's concerned expression as they held their hands to their chest, then suddenly remembered something and continued, "Oh right, I'll give you something else, see if you can use it."

"Ok?"

The next moment, she pinched out a blue-gold ring with lightning patterns, which landed steadily on the surface of the spirit stone, making a soft tinkling sound.

Jin You paused for a moment, stunned: "A ring?"

The next second, his gaze toward Xi Heng carried a hint of wariness.

"What are you thinking about?" The white-haired girl sensed the turmoil in the other person's heart and turned her gaze back in confusion.

"This is a storage ring. Just put it on."

"A storage ring...the kind with a mustard seed-sized space inside?"

"Although I don't know what you mean by 'mustard seed,' it should be something like that. There are ten cubic meters of space inside that can be used to store inanimate objects, but don't put any living things in there," Xi Heng explained casually.

She had stored these storage rings several times during the final moments of Hellfire.

Giving one to the other person would not cause any harm to oneself.

"..." Jin You pulled out his right hand, picked up the ring, and whispered, "This thing is very valuable. Only Golden Core cultivators with high enough status in the heavens are qualified to receive spatial magic treasures, and ring-shaped magic treasures are only for the powerful and wealthy."

"Hmm...it seems your world doesn't have much research into the spatial realm," Xi Heng guessed.

The other person tried putting on the ring and sent a portion of their consciousness into it.

After several attempts, he finally managed to communicate with the internal space and put the spirit stones in his hand inside.

"It actually works?" The girl next to her blinked.

“After all, I was a high-level cultivator before... so this kind of magical artifact without realm restrictions is acceptable.” Jin You explained, “It just consumes some spiritual energy.”

"Then take it." Xi Heng covered his mouth and yawned. "Consider it rent for me inside your body and reimbursement for my mission."

"Can I cancel the taxi?" Jin You asked, pressing her temples in distress.

"Come on."

The white-haired girl's phantom image vanished in a flash, heading to her mental space to rest.

Outside, the gray-haired girl wearing a projection mask glanced curiously at the ring on her fingertip a few more times. Looking at the road in front of her, which was not empty but had few living people, she stepped over the shattered corpses and headed towards the city center.

……

Half an hour later, Jin You stepped off the rented unmanned boat and arrived at the Tianxi Performance Venue on the north side of the city center.

The venue was crowded with all sorts of people, including company employees who only did internal modifications and regularly used stimulants, as well as huge figures covered in prosthetics, almost like mecha. Men and women of all kinds lined up in a long, winding queue.

Strangely, no pushing or fighting occurred while so many people were queuing.

Given the overall quality of Xiping City, any place with a diverse group of people is likely to see fierce battles, either one-on-one or group fights.

Even in the relatively safe inner city, in such a densely populated area, one should at least hear shouts and curses from time to time.

Furthermore, there were only a few ordinary ticket inspectors outside the venue, and no fully armed bodyguards or rented Xiping Guards protecting the area.

Looking at the crowds queuing up from outside the venue, it seemed as natural as an ordinary event in peacetime.

This doesn't seem normal at all.

Jin You glanced at him a few more times, a suspicion forming in her mind, and silently adjusted her mask before approaching.

Xi Heng's illusory figure appeared, and he walked slowly with her, watching the figure in front of him:

“This place has formations that can subtly influence people’s minds. They are not very useful for ordinary cultivators with strong wills, but they are effective for mortals.”

“That’s the kind of thing that guy would do.” Jin You stopped in her tracks.

“Don’t worry, your consciousness is connected to mine, so it won’t be affected,” Xi Heng said simply.

"That's good..." The gray-haired girl sighed as she looked at the venue in front of her. "Tickets on the wide area network are hard to buy. I'll have to try to find some scalpers here."

"And there are scalpers too."

"Scalpers? This isn't an animal exhibition hall."

"It's nothing," Xi Heng replied casually, before his illusory figure stepped over the queuing crowd and entered the open-air venue.

It was still drizzling outside today, but once inside the venue, no raindrops fell despite it being outdoors.

The staff were adjusting the lighting and sound effects, occasionally playing a couple of pieces of music as an experiment.

The large semi-circular seating area was already mostly full, with people of all shapes and sizes crammed onto small chairs or stools. For some reason, few people complained; they simply waited anxiously or stared intently at the center of the stage.

"In this chaotic city, how can there be a place like this..." Xi Heng found it hard to understand how idols and entertainers could be made in Xiping City.

But now that everything is in front of me, I have to admit that I don't really know this city at all.

Xi Heng sat quietly in an empty seat inside for a while, and then suddenly disappeared when someone came.

Back outside the venue, Yoko was still haggling with a ticket scalper.

It wasn't that she was stingy; it was mainly because the entrance fee to this place was too expensive.

A regular seat already costs four or five hundred yuan, but scalpers will double that price.

More importantly, all the regular seats are now sold out, and only the more expensive VIP tickets in the front row are still available.

But a single ticket costs over three thousand—enough for Jin You to buy another secondary aircraft.

But money can't be saved, so even though she wasn't very good at negotiating, Yoru tried to negotiate.

She finally bought a VIP ticket close to the stage for 2,300 yuan. Looking at her remaining money, Jin You felt her heart was bleeding.

Looking at the aura recognition chart on the interface, she sighed softly, "It's really expensive... There must be too many rich people who can charge such a high price for a one-hour performance ticket."

The ticket scalper chuckled and said, "It used to be even more expensive. If it weren't for the black market outbreak in the city, you wouldn't have been able to get this ticket for less than five thousand."

The gray-haired girl glanced at her bank account balance again, shook her head, ignored the other person, and turned to walk towards the venue.

"Luckily I have a performance today, otherwise it would be very troublesome to see her," Jin You muttered to herself.

"How about we catch a show to relax?" Xi Heng suggested from the side.

"I can't relax when I see that guy." The other person took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up a great deal of courage to come here.

"Don't be so bitter and resentful. If you have a grudge against someone, you'll calm down after killing them a few more times," Xi Heng snorted.

"What are you saying..." Jin You didn't quite understand.

She just shook her head as if she hadn't heard anything and went to line up with her ticket.

The performance in the venue was about to begin, and after some haggling, it was already quite late when Jin You got the tickets.

When I was queuing, I was already the last person in line.

Fifteen minutes later it was her turn to have her ticket checked, and music had already started playing in the venue.

The ticket inspector scanned her with his light and paused for a moment when he realized she had a VIP ticket. After a few seconds, hesitantly asked her to go to the VIP entrance, which wasted some time.

When Ms. Jin You from outside the city finally entered the venue, the warm-up performance inside had already begun.

Dancers appeared to the accompaniment of gentle music, dancing in flowing sleeves and flowing gowns, like fairies in a story, their movements graceful and captivating as they shifted positions.
