Then she discovered that as long as she dispersed her attention and didn't focus too much, she could see in the mirror that she still looked like herself, but with a pale golden lotus-shaped mark on her forehead.

If she concentrated and looked closely in the mirror, the reflection showed her as a tall woman.

'That waist is so thin.'

'Did she have surgery to remove two ribs? Can she still work like that?'

'But it looks nice... I should try high heels later!'

Gao Huating grabbed two energy bars and ran to the studio, eating as she walked, thinking about how to ask Wang Jixuan for help.

When she arrived, Wang Jixuan was already at the final stage of Alchemy.

The Alchemy Furnace gently exploded.

Seeing Wang Jixuan busy and in a bad mood due to the explosion, Gao Huating didn't dare to disturb him and went back to her main task—mopping the floor.

As she was mopping, she heard a commotion ahead. Mr. Wang shouted 'Watch out,' and a mass of dark red flame rushed towards her.

Instinctively, Gao Huating tried to dodge and blocked her face with the electric mop, as Wang Jixuan and Mu Dan rushed towards her from two directions!

…

When the dark red flame was thrown, Wang Jixuan's instinct was to dodge.

With his Golden Core Path so close, he wouldn't risk using unclear and unknown abilities.

Just as he threw the dark red flame away, his Spiritual Sense detected Gao Huating behind him, just waking up and holding a vacuum cleaner.

Master Wang twisted his neck and instinctively reached back for the flame;

But as soon as he extended his hand, an incredible scene occurred!

Gao Huating tightly closed her eyes, blocking her face with the electric mop, as the dark red flame, propelled by Wang Jixuan, flew straight towards her and was about to hit her chest.

In an instant, Gao Huating's skin turned golden!

A phantom appeared behind Gao Huating, tall and slender with hair swirling.

This figure originally had its eyes closed;

In an almost simultaneous moment, both the phantom and Gao Huating opened their eyes abruptly, with golden beams in Gao Huating's eyes, moving in perfect synchronization, reaching out to grasp.

The dark red flame, Old Sophie's core circuit, was directly held by Gao Huating!

Gao Huating slightly clenched her fist, and the dark red flame transformed into a long snake, hissing continuously;

With a bit more force, the long snake suddenly exploded into countless standard hexagons, quickly covering a large screen, filled with countless images, which then instantly shattered.

In one corner, weak memories of Old Sophie played;

Unfortunately, Wang Jixuan didn't get a chance to look before Old Sophie's image exploded.

Gao Huating tapped her finger lightly, causing the hexagons to collapse into an orange-red flame.

'Hmph,' 'Gao Huating' snorted, muttering something.

Wang Jixuan didn't understand.

But he could read the contempt and anger on 'Gao Huating's' face.

Then, Gao Huating tapped her finger, and the orange flame floated to Wang Jixuan.

This version was sourced from M|V|L^EMPYR.

'Gao Huating' looked at Wang Jixuan;

Their eyes met.

Then, 'Gao Huating' slightly bowed her head, leaving a voice transmission in Wang Jixuan's heart with a somewhat obscure tone, but in Earth's language.

'Thank you, Cultivator.'

'My soul has successfully reincarnated, and this remnant will serve as nourishment for my new self.'

'Consider this a token of gratitude; I hope you can take good care of me in the future, help me grow quickly, and face the truly powerful and evil enemies.'

Afterward, 'Gao Huating' walked to the sofa, elegantly sat down, and two seconds later, the anomaly disappeared, and she collapsed onto the sofa.

Wang Jixuan:...

'Cultivator' pierced his heart when he heard the word.

It was the first time someone recognized his identity.

Feeling something, he turned to No. 5, trying to make an 'As expected' expression, but with slightly widened pupils and tightly clenched fists, revealing her shock.

Wang Jixuan had summoned Gao Huating's soul in the Qingping Formation, witnessed by No. 5;

No. 5's reaction implied that she had only guessed Gao Huating's previous identity but now recognized it.

However...

Wang Jixuan stared at the jumping orange flame.

This flame felt 'clean' and extremely pure.

Even his Dao Heart was somewhat pleased, and his Primordial Soul was leaping, as if urging him to devour it.

Though Gao Huating's past self claimed it was a gift;

His Spiritual Sense confirmed it was harmless and beneficial;

She had just cleared out the residual will of previous owners of the core circuit...

But Wang Jixuan, pondering, still only guided it gently to his palm;

When it came to his Cultivation, he was always cautious.

'Yawn...'

No. 5 yawned, turning to fly back to her stone plate.

Wang Jixuan lunged forward, grabbing No. 5 by the neck and placing her opposite Gao Huating.

The Daoist smiled coldly:

'No elixir for you unless you explain.'

No. 5 tilted her small face up: 'Hmph, as if you could threaten a Spirit Cultivator!'

Knowing how to handle No. 5's personality, Wang Daoist sighed, looking at his hands sadly, murmuring:

'I've always feared I couldn't protect anything. I may seem strong sometimes, but it's just a disguise. This truth is crucial for the planet's future...'

'Ugh, fine, fine, stop being a crybaby.'

With a complex look at Gao Huating, No. 5 whispered:

'I can't tell you much. This involves the secrets of our Spirit Cultivator civilization, which we swore to protect.

'I can only tell you now...

'The six of us broke through the Blade Beasts' encirclement to reach this planet in search of... this woman.

'I already told you, she's a key.'

'You saw earlier, she was a powerful being who could open a treasure, valuable only to Spirit Cultivators.'

'If we find this treasure, we can solve the Blade Beasts crisis.'

The Daoist asked: 'What's in the treasure?'

'That's something,' No. 5 said seriously, 'only those three old geezers and No. 6 know. No. 6 mentioned she found the treasure when she released her circuit and reincarnated.'

Wang Jixuan observed Gao Huating's face, rubbing his thumb against his index finger.

This person knows I'm a Cultivator.

This person despises Spirit Cultivators and can manipulate their core circuits at will.

This person is the key to the treasure that can eliminate Blade Beasts.

The power fluctuation just now was more aligned with the essence of the Great Path than the core circuits of Spirit Cultivators.

Enlightened, the Daoist said: 'Spirit Cultivators also did things similar to Blade Beasts, didn't they?'

'How would I know? I'm still a newbie among Spirit Cultivators.'

No. 5 rolled her eyes:

'I'll go rest now. Find me when you've made the sugar pills! I need to regain my strength! I'm aiming to be the strongest Spirit Cultivator!'

Wang Jixuan smiled, motioning Mu Dan to care for Gao Huating.

Light flickered in the Daoist's eyes.

If he searched Gao Huating's memory now, that woman would likely notice and reject him, but she had shown goodwill.

He straightened himself, eyes glowing faintly, cupping Bao Yuan Shou Yi, absorbing the flame into his palm, and investigating it with Spiritual Sense.
