Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 329 The Genius Senior Brother's Storage Bag

"Uh-ah-"

Accompanied by agonizing screams, Zhengze's body convulsed and rolled around, but even this could not alleviate the pain. He kept pounding the ground with his hands, his body covered in blood and gore, looking extremely miserable.

"Ouch, it looks so painful!" Yu Liu's face was all scrunched up, her expression twisted in pain. She was completely oblivious to her own pain, staring intently at Zheng Ze, who was writhing in agony, grimacing as if she were truly feeling the pain herself.

"It's okay, he'll pull through." Li Qingran was strangely silent for a few seconds, then touched Yu Liu's hair.

Yu Liu did not see the change in his expression.

At this moment, an awkward and strange atmosphere filled the parking lot of this small village. The soldiers had long since stopped firing and were now holding their guns, watching the cultivators warily. Apart from General Lu, the most influential person among them had already gone to the side to call his superiors for instructions and had not yet returned.

The cultivators had suffered from being caught off guard, with quite a few being hit by bullets. They all erected protective shields, sat cross-legged on the ground with their palms facing upwards, and absorbed the meager spiritual energy in the air to heal themselves.

The uninjured disciples all focused their attention on Zhengze, who was in the middle of the two sides. Lu Jiang's corpse was not far away, and neither side knew what to do with it, so they could only leave it lying there.

Under the intense gaze of everyone, Zhengze had no time to pay attention to his surroundings. He was completely consumed by pain, and even with his high pain tolerance, he couldn't help but scream. This soul-crushing pain was unbearable; he could only endure it by sheer willpower.

On his hand, a bright green bracelet was firmly stuck, and that was the culprit that caused his current situation.

There were indeed no medicines for treatment in Yu Liu's space. In a quick glance, Zheng Ze noticed the emerald green bracelet.

That bracelet was very common in the Immortal Realm. Its function was to help immortals who were losing their immortal power replenish it. To put it simply, it was a portable "power bank" that was very common in the Immortal Realm. As for why Yu Liu had this thing, she couldn't quite remember. She probably happened to meet an immortal who had just ascended to the God Realm when she was buying things, and bought it from him.

In any case, upon seeing the bracelet, Zhengze had an idea. His body was too badly injured, and besides taking pills to repair it, there was another way to save his life—that was to find a highly skilled person to exhaust all their magical power to prolong his life.

Of course, that's impossible. Putting aside where to find such a person, the mere fact that it would take exhausting all of one's magical power to save him would deter anyone from agreeing.

The magical power within a cultivator's body is essentially spiritual power, while the power stored in that bracelet is a level higher than spiritual power. These two powers are essentially the same thing, except that immortal power is a purified form of spiritual power, and its energy is relatively more violent.

With that in mind, a wicked idea flashed through Zhengze's mind. His body needed a lot of spiritual energy to repair itself, and the immortal energy in the bracelet, which was purer than spiritual energy, should be able to replace spiritual energy and act on him. In that case, he might be able to survive just by relying on that emerald green bracelet.

Yu Liu didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, but when Zhengze said the bracelet could save her life, she gave it away without hesitation.

After putting on the bracelet, the immortal power inside rushed into Zhengze's body. His entire body, especially the area where a large hole had been blasted open, began to emit a dazzling mist that slowly enveloped his entire body.

That was an extremely concentrated divine power.

After being enveloped in immortal power, it began to stimulate the regeneration of the body's cells. Moreover, for some reason, this rich immortal power also merged into Zhengze's soul. Originally, with the strength of Zhengze's soul as a celestial god, he would not have been afraid of this amount of immortal power at all. Unfortunately, in the cycle of reincarnation, his soul had already been damaged and riddled with holes, probably not even comparable to an ordinary immortal. He was only about the same as some mortal cultivators. He was unable to resist at all, and his soul was also slowly repaired. Under the double pain, no matter how strong Zhengze was, he could not hold on.

His screams were so pitiful that Yu Liu was so frightened that she transformed into human form and buried her head in Li Qingran's arms, closing her eyes and not daring to look at the writhing flesh on his body.

Those regenerated blood vessels looked like little worms, which terrified the fairy.

The cultivators were initially worried about their second senior brother, but as the rich immortal energy emanating from Zhengze spread, the surroundings suddenly became very suitable for cultivation. They eventually couldn't resist the temptation and set up protective shields around their bodies, sitting cross-legged to begin cultivating.

This situation lasted for more than an hour, which felt like several years to Zhengze. By the time he finally overcame the pain of his body repairing itself, he was exhausted and on the verge of death.

"Phew, I'm finally alive." He let out a weak gasp; his throat had long since given up after all the screams he'd been screaming.

"It's good that I survived..." he uttered silently, a lingering fear in his heart. He had originally thought that if he reincarnated sooner and completed all the worlds as quickly as possible, he would be able to see the person he longed for.

But what happened before served as a wake-up call for him. He hadn't even completed a thousand reincarnations yet, let alone the many more that awaited him. Before he had even finished half of these reincarnations, his soul was already in a state of disarray. Perhaps he simply wouldn't be able to hold on until the end of the 9999th reincarnation. By then, he wouldn't even know when he would disappear into this endless cycle of reincarnation, let alone see the person he longed for.

He couldn't continue following the same routine any longer; he needed to make changes. He had a feeling that Xiao Liu'er's appearance would be the catalyst for change.

More importantly, this little guy is so easy to fool, how can we not make the most of him? There's only one person in the world capable of saving him from the cycle of reincarnation.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Yu Liu bent down and looked down at the dying Zheng Ze, asking somewhat nervously.

“I won’t die…” Zhengze shook his head slightly, letting out a breathy sound. Yu Liu didn’t quite understand what he meant, but she roughly got the gist of it.

"It's alright, it's alright." Yu Liu patted her chest in relief, completely relaxing.

The immortal energy around Zhengze's body had been completely exhausted, and the other disciples who were meditating and cultivating also gradually finished their cultivation. On the soldiers' side, the person who had requested orders from above had finally returned.

He went directly to Li Qingran, his attitude lukewarm: "We didn't anticipate Lu Shangjiang's situation, and we apologize for that. I don't think Lu Shangjiang's personal actions will affect our cooperation. We still welcome you, but we don't know about your side..."

He left his words brief, but clearly gave Li Qingran a way out.

Although Li Qingran was indifferent, she was not ignorant of human relationships: "Just follow the original arrangement."

The man immediately felt relieved. He was worried that this group of talented people might have misunderstood him because of his previous behavior on the road, and might rashly rush into society, which would have unimaginable consequences.

Although the disciples were indeed unhappy, they didn't take their anger out on others because of Lu Shangjiang's actions. They tacitly let the matter drop. Li Qingran used his magic to lift Zhengze, who was covered in blood, from the ground. The soldiers also carried away Lu Shangjiang's body. Everyone boarded the helicopter in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

The first helicopters couldn't carry so many people. Li Qingran, Zhengze, and Kunjue were among the first to be picked up by helicopter. The remaining disciples would be picked up by the helicopters that came later.

Yu Liu followed closely beside Li Qingran. After boarding the plane, she and Li Qingran were responsible for looking after Zhengze.

"Cough!" Zhengze coughed, his voice recovering slightly.

He gave Li Qingran a look, and Li Qingran nodded imperceptibly.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Li Qingran, Yu Liu, and Zheng Ze all appeared to be closing their eyes to rest. Of course, this was merely an illusion created by Li Qingran; in reality, the three of them were having a casual discussion about serious matters.

"Little Yuliu, I have a question for you, and you must answer me truthfully." Zhengze's face, covered in blood, showed a serious expression.

Yu Liu looked around and, seeing that no one on the plane was paying attention to them, hesitantly nodded.

"I want to know, did you come here for me?"

For some reason, Yu Liu felt a little awkward hearing this, but she still nodded: "You could say that."

She pouted and thought about it seriously for a moment, then added, "I didn't come here specifically for you. I just wanted to help someone, not for you."

"Help me." Zhengze could easily guess who needed help. He suddenly chuckled softly, his eyes brimming with happiness.

"Thank you," he said abruptly, seemingly out of nowhere.

Yu Liu accepted his thanks without hesitation.

Li Qingran, who had been listening in, quietly watched Yu Liu without questioning their nonsensical conversation. Yu Liu felt that he seemed a little abnormal, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong.

"Well, I think there are some things we should clarify first."

Yu Liu felt a little uncomfortable under Li Qingran's gaze. She couldn't help but reach out her left hand and slowly crawl to Li Qingran's right side, interlocking her fingers with his. Her eyes were still on Zhengze, and she looked somewhat guilty.

I don't know where this guilty conscience came from.

"Although I promised to help you, you should understand your situation now that you've regained your memories, right? I have no idea where to start, I don't know how to help you, or what it means to escape the cycle of reincarnation."

Zhengze's face gradually darkened: "I don't know either."

He had never been exposed to this before, and now he was just as helpless as Yu Liu.

"I know."

Li Qingran suddenly interrupted, and her words instantly attracted the attention of both of them.

"Ah Ning, do you know?"

Yu Liu asked subconsciously, only to realize after she asked that she had addressed him incorrectly.

"Yes, I know." Li Qingran smiled faintly, and the smile added a touch of vitality to his calm face, making him look even more handsome. "Baby, I remember too."

He leaned down slightly and placed a kiss on Yu Liu's forehead.

"I've remembered everything for now."

Thin lips brushed against her earlobe, and a low chuckle struck Yu Liu's heart, sending shivers down her spine.

Yan Ning didn't linger for long. He quickly straightened up and turned to look at Zhengze, who was lying down: "I know how to break your cycle of punishment."

After saying that, he fell silent.

Zhengze was taken aback by his attitude, but quickly realized what he meant and his expression turned cold: "What do you want?"

"I heard that during that great battle, Lord Zhengze secretly hoarded many good things..." Yan Ning's words stopped there.

His shameless words almost made Zhengze grind his teeth to powder. Those things were all things he had kept to give to Fairy Jiaohan, but due to a moment of carelessness, he was eventually cast into reincarnation, and the things were never given away. How did this annoying guy in front of him know?

"...How many do you want?"

"all."

"Hiss—don't be too greedy!"

"I should be the one saying this to you. What use are those things to you? If I don't provide you with a solution, you would have been completely destroyed long ago, before you even have 9999 reincarnations. Years later, the soul that reappears will be a completely new one, and it won't take care of Fairy Jiaohan as meticulously as you do. It might even fall in love with someone else, leaving Fairy Jiaohan to grieve in secret. Are you willing to do that?"

It hit the bullseye. Zhengze clutched his heart, gritting his teeth, "I can't bear it. I agreed."

"That's more like it." Yan Ning smiled slyly, pulled the somewhat confused Yu Liu into her arms, and secretly kissed her forehead again before finally revealing what she knew under Zheng Ze's glare: "Actually, it's quite simple to help you escape the cycle of reincarnation. You just need to stay alive."

"Undying?"

“Yes, immortal!” Playing with Yu Liu’s hair, Yan Ning explained to the two bewildered fairies in front of her, “You may not believe it, but this is what ‘she’ told me.”

Yan Ning and Zheng Ze both knew perfectly well who this "she" was, but Yu Liu tilted her head in confusion. Yan Ning found it amusing and tapped the tip of her nose: "She is a very capable person. You will find out later."

"She said that although your reincarnation is supervised by the Great Dao, this matter is just an insignificant little program in the trajectory of the Great Dao's operation. The consciousness of the Great Dao will not invest too much energy in this. In order to ensure that you receive enough punishment, it will make sure that you do not have a good end in each life and torture you to death. It is also very simple to break this cycle: persist until you exceed the time supervised by the Great Dao. This time is not long, 99 years."

Yu Liu was confused, but Zheng Ze understood: "You mean that as long as I can live to be 99 years old in this world, the punishment of reincarnation will be lifted?"

"Correct!"
