I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 489: Chapter 483: Lin Sha, Head Full of Third-Rate Romance Plots

Du Youqian did not immediately go forward to guide Fang Hua.

Instead, he concealed his figure and stood observing from a distance.

All day, Fang Hua sat in the courtyard. She remained motionless for several consecutive hours, her eyes unfocused, clearly lost in thought.

Twice during the day, people came looking for her. Both times, they stood outside the courtyard and spoke at length, but Fang Hua only responded with one or two absentminded words.

In the evening, Fang Hua returned to her room, but she didn’t rest. Instead, she first read a book for a while, then began to meditate. She went to sleep around nine o’clock.

The next morning, Fang Hua rose at a quarter to four. At five, she was in the courtyard, greeting the first rays of the morning sun as she began to slowly practice with her sword.

When she finished her sword practice, she stood motionless in the courtyard again, as if watching the falling leaves, or perhaps contemplating the ultimate questions of the universe and life itself.

Only when a leaf drifted down and was about to land on her would her Sword Intent reactively flare up and slice the leaf in two, jolting her back to awareness for a moment.

Du Youqian noticed that this was not the "Broken Water" Sword Intent.

It must be a new Sword Intent that Fang Hua had comprehended by sublimating the Evergreen Master’s Immortal Sword Scripture Record.

The Evergreen Master’s Immortal Sword Scripture Record was roughly at the Technique Level, and in her past life, the highest Fang Hua had ever cultivated was to the Golden Core Realm.

To create a Technique Level Sword Intent while only at the Golden Core Realm was truly extraordinary.

As evening approached, Fang Hua suddenly looked in Du Youqian’s direction, her expression tinged with confusion.

She said nothing. Her hand moved slowly to her waist, then suddenly accelerated, drawing her sword and slashing through the air toward Du Youqian.

Of course, it was impossible for her to have sensed Du Youqian’s presence. At this moment, she was merely a Postnatal Martial Arts expert among mortals, not yet having even entered the Innate Realm.

But perhaps possessing Sword Intent had, to some extent, pushed her perceptive abilities far beyond their normal limits. She vaguely felt that something was amiss where Du Youqian stood and decided to test it with a slash of her sword.

The long sword cut down in a seemingly ordinary, yet mysteriously profound arc. The Sword Intent condensed, not leaking in the slightest, before suddenly erupting.

This single strike was likely powerful enough to kill even a Qi Cultivation Middle Stage cultivator. Truly stunning.

Du Youqian could have actually stood still and let her strike him.

She wouldn’t have even been able to scratch his skin.

But in that instant, he made a decision. He revealed his form, formed a sword with his fingers, and tapped the blade of Fang Hua’s sword.

He didn’t use any force, of course, but he did channel a tiny bit of his Sword Intent.

When his fingers made contact with her sword, Fang Hua felt as if she’d been struck by lightning. She stumbled back three steps, a crimson flush spreading across her pale cheeks.

Incredulous horror flashed through her beautiful eyes. Du Youqian smiled faintly.

In Fang Hua’s eyes, this strange young man was brimming with Sword Intent.

If her Sword Intent was like the faint flame of a candle in the night, then this stranger’s Sword Intent was as vast as the Void Sea, as brilliant as the great sun. It felt as if the very air around him was about to be torn apart by it.

"Come with me." Du Youqian said only three words.

"Okay." Fang Hua nodded, speaking only a single word.

She didn’t ask where they were going, nor did she ask Du Youqian’s identity.

None of that was important.

The Sword Intent this man displayed was the ultimate goal she had pursued her entire life.

As long as she could stay by his side and learn Swordsmanship, she would not be afraid, even if it meant storming the Demon Race Holy Land or journeying to the legendary Netherworld Ghost Kindom.

Du Youqian beckoned, and Fang Hua approached without hesitation.

Then, she found herself lifted involuntarily into the air, soaring through the sky and riding the wind.

Flying for the first time in her life, Fang Hua quickly adapted after her initial terror.

She wasn’t even surprised.

’If he wasn’t an Immortal Master, who could possess such Sword Intent?’

~~~~~~~~~~

Du Youqian took Fang Hua to her home, spoke a few simple words with her parents, and told them he was taking her to begin Immortal Cultivating.

Her parents were naturally terrified and didn’t dare to refuse. Of course, they had no wish to refuse, either.

Who would deny their child the chance for a better future?

For their daughter to become a lofty Immortal Master was something they wouldn’t have dared to dream of.

Du Youqian promised that he would let Fang Hua return for family reunions from time to time, which helped to ease some of their worries.

Even in front of her parents, Fang Hua showed no childish sentimentality. She bid them farewell with extreme composure and then stood obediently behind Du Youqian.

Perhaps, in the eyes of some, this would seem cold-hearted.

But Du Youqian knew she had simply devoted her entire heart and soul to the sword.

When they landed next to the Flying Boat, the Foundation Establishment Disciple, who was quite perceptive, hurried over to greet them. He then bowed to Fang Hua, saying, "Greetings, Senior!"

Fang Hua blinked her innocent eyes. At this moment, her gaze didn’t yet have the constant undercurrent of Sword Intent that it held in her past life.

Lin Sha studied Fang Hua, thinking to herself: ’This little sister is so beautiful. And she must be a martial artist; there’s a heroic air about her every move.’

’Was she also one of the Immortal Master’s... confidantes in his past life?’

’But no matter who she was in her past life, in this life, she’s just a young girl. I doubt she likes being called ’Senior’.’

’I know I don’t.’

After picking up Fang Hua, the Flying Boat took off again. The next target was Luo Jinyu.

On the Flying Boat, Du Youqian closed his eyes to cultivate. The Ghost Belly Cat Demon King and Little Wukong were disinclined to speak to two mortal girls who had not yet awakened their Past Life Memories. They also saw no need to curry favor with them like the Foundation Establishment Disciple did.

So, Lin Sha could only try to talk with Fang Hua to relieve her boredom.

In her view, Fang Hua had been through a similar experience, so they should have a lot to talk about.

But no matter how hard she tried, Fang Hua’s responses were limited to simple replies like "Mm," "Okay," and "No."

Most of the time, however, Fang Hua simply turned a deaf ear to her words.

Lin Sha wrinkled her cute nose in frustration, thinking: ’Even if you’re a martial artist, you’re still as insignificant as dust before an Immortal Master. I really don’t know where you get your arrogance from.’

But on the second day, and then the third, Fang Hua continued to ignore Lin Sha, her gaze always empty, lost in who knows what thoughts.

Lin Sha could only think resignedly: ’This little sister really is an obsessive. She and that Immortal Master are a perfect match; neither of them likes to talk much.’

’Maybe in our last life, this little sister was the Immortal Master’s official wife, and I was his favored concubine.’

’No, wait, who was that person from behind, then?’

’Oh, maybe this little sister was the Immortal Master’s wife, but I was deeply in love with the person from that vision—the woman the Immortal Master could never have.’

’Ugh, or maybe the Immortal Master kidnapped me and took me back with him. His Highness the Cat King said I didn’t bear the Immortal Master any children, maybe that’s because I was still pining for that other person and refused to have his kids.’

Du Youqian opened his eyes and shot Lin Sha a strange look. ’Where did this girl read all these romance novels? Her head is filled with nothing but third-rate drama plots.’

The look made Lin Sha’s scalp tingle with fear. Only then did he close his eyes again to continue his cultivation.

After a long moment, Lin Sha gently patted her chest.

’That scared me to death! I really thought the Immortal Master had seen right through my thoughts!’

Du Youqian, of course, wouldn’t hold it against a Lin Sha who had yet to awaken her Past Life Memory.

He even found her thoughts rather cute.

’I wonder what she’ll think when she awakens her memories, gradually becomes her complete self, and remembers the things she’s been thinking these past few days?’

’She’ll probably announce she’s going into seclusion immediately, just to avoid my teasing.’

~~~~~~~~~~~

Luo Jinyu came from a good background. He was born into a Cultivation Clan in a county town (not an Immortal City).

Although his branch of the family had long since declined into mortals, living as farmer-scholars in a village outside the city, much like the members of the Four Great Clans outside Ruihan City.

But as a descendant of the clan, he was still able to have his aptitude tested at twelve. After being discovered to possess a Top Grade Spirit Root, he began preparing for cultivation under the clan’s arrangements, which included studying, learning about Cultivation Techniques, and strengthening his physique with medicinal baths.

Just after his sixteenth birthday, the clan arranged for him to formally begin his cultivation.

A Top Grade Spirit Root might not be considered an exceptionally amazing Spirit Root, but it still offered a very high probability of reaching Core Formation.

For a clan, this was a descendant worthy of great importance.

Therefore, Luo Jinyu’s treatment improved immediately. His parents and siblings were all brought into the city, and he himself was officially recorded in the clan genealogy.

This was a common rule among many Cultivation Clans, including those in the Immortal City Alliance. Aside from members of the main branch’s Direct Lineage, other clan disciples had to possess Cultivation Talent to be eligible for entry into the clan genealogy.
