Chapter 240 Phoenix Hairpin

A classical woman dressed in light blue appeared before her. Gu Yunxi quickly got up. Apart from her clothes being wet, she seemed to be perfectly fine.

Who are you?

She looked at the woman standing not far from her.

"No, you're a cultivator. Your cultivation level is extraordinary. Who exactly are you, and where is this place?"

Hehehe!

The woman covered her face and mouth with a handkerchief, saying, "Little one, you've asked so many questions at once, how am I supposed to answer them?"

For someone to call themselves "little kid," they must be incredibly capable.

"You stumbled into my territory. I would have been more inclined to kill you than save you. But we are destined to meet, and I saw that you are also a wandering soul from another world, which is why I saved you."

"Then I must thank you for sparing my life. This place is extremely strange. Even cultivators who come here are no different from ordinary people. Is this your doing?"

The woman flicked her sleeve and sat down on an ancient tree that had been lying there for who knows how long. Judging from her expression, she didn't admit it, so perhaps it wasn't her.

"You've been trapped here by someone?"

"So what if I'm stuck here? I don't even know how long I've been stuck here. I guess those so-called cultivators have already ascended to immortality. Tell me, why did you end up here?"

Gu Yunxi thought the woman was asking how she got to this world, so she told the woman about her unfortunate experience. The woman found it somewhat funny; it was the first time she had ever heard of someone being struck by lightning and ending up in another body, especially a useless one.

"Your unfortunate experience makes me feel sorry for you. Let me tell you, I am an exceptionally powerful person. I was besieged by hundreds of cultivation sects and sealed here. I tried to get out, but I couldn't break their seal. I never expected to be trapped here for so many years. Judging from your clothes, the world outside must have changed by now."

Gu Yunxi followed her words, "I don't know either, but the world is really changing rapidly these days. If you could go out, you would definitely be amazed by the development here. If you could live for thousands of years, many people would be reluctant to leave."

The woman smiled faintly, "You're just talking big. If you can take me out of here, I can grant you one wish."

In the woman's view, she had definitely come for the Snow Lotus.

"Beautiful sister, I'm already in this state. I can't use my cultivation here, so I can't go up at all, let alone take you out. Besides..."

Gu Yunxi looked her up and down. "You have become a ghost. You have gotten used to this place. Once you leave this world and lose your body, you will immediately vanish into nothingness."

"As expected, you are no ordinary person. Although this body is useless, judging from your merits, you are a virtuous cultivator."

Upon seeing the hairpin she was wearing, the woman's breathing quickened, and she stood up and took a few steps forward. "You... how did you get this hairpin?"

Rather than calling it a hairpin, it's more accurate to call it a phoenix hairpin. A woman who doesn't know its value would never recognize that this thing is a pair with her ring, an ancient magical artifact.

But she casually wore it on her head, as if she didn't want others to know she had it?

Gu Yunxi removed the hairpin, her cascading black hair cascading down, making her face appear even paler. "This hairpin was a gift from my friend."

“It must be a friend of great significance. With this, we can leave. I am a member of the Phoenix Clan, and the phoenix hairpin you are wearing is an item of my clan.”

What is He Sihan up to? He gave me something so precious so casually. Should I return it to him now?

I'm so conflicted.

"Don't overthink it. I don't need this thing. I'm already a wandering ghost. You should quickly perform the blood oath ceremony. Then I'll find a way to enter the phoenix hairpin, and we can get out."

Unfortunately, as a powerful being, I am about to acknowledge a mortal as my master. I wonder how others will laugh at me if I tell them this.

But the woman said that being able to go out and see the world would fulfill her long-cherished wish.

Gu Yunxi was skeptical. Biting her fingers was a common occurrence for her. She dripped a few drops of blood onto the hairpin, and the bloodstains immediately disappeared into the hairpin.

At the same time, she heard Fengchai seem to cry out, and a phoenix figure flew into the sky and stood in front of her.

The woman was overjoyed, seeing that the time was ripe. She transformed into a wisp of green smoke and entered the phoenix's body. Then, the shadow disappeared again from the hairpin.

[Little one, can you hear me? Tie your hair up, we're going outside now.]

"Wow...amazing! It's just an ordinary hairpin. What kind of treasure did Mr. He give me?"

Gu Yunxi retied her hair, inserted the phoenix hairpin, and felt a strong force surge through her body, indicating that she was about to break through again.

She now seemed to be free from the constraints of this world. She sat cross-legged and slowly merged with this power.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared above Mirror Moon Lake. All the cultivators watched this miraculous scene. Some of the more knowledgeable ones sensed something was amiss; someone was undergoing a tribulation of lightning.

Could it be that some cultivator near the lake is suddenly about to break through to the next level?

Seeing the overwhelming force of the lightning, everyone fled in panic, knowing that if it struck them, they would be reduced to ashes.

"My name is Bai Shuang."

The surrounding spiritual energy kept flowing into Gu Yunxi's body, and Bai Shuang was even more satisfied with the master she had chosen.

She never expected to face the tribulation of lightning so soon. Unfortunately, this was in the secret realm at the bottom of the lake, and someone else was unlucky enough to bear the tribulation for her.

About an hour later, Gu Yunxi opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in her eyes. She felt that she was now fully capable of fighting against Lin Guanyue.

"Bai Shuang, we're leaving."

Her body turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared at the bottom of the cliff.

At this moment, Gu Yan was with a vampire cultivator. The two were on the other side of the cliff. The vampire, Ellie, somehow managed to find Gu Yunxi at the bottom of the cliff, and the two were waiting for her in front of a cave entrance.

Since they couldn't get down to this strange place, they would wait to deliver a fatal blow to Gu Yunxi.

"OMG, her aura is getting stronger, I feel like she's coming up, we need to get ready."

Before Ellie could finish speaking, a woman appeared in front of her. Gu Yan was still dressed in black, and she believed that no one would recognize her in this attire.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yunxi's gaze lingered on her. "Gu Yan, it's been a long time."

"You...you actually recognized me?"

Gu Yan removed her mask, and her face looked somewhat strange. She had begun practicing evil cultivation, and although her mind and body were the same as before, she had changed too much.

"So that explains why you've suddenly become so amazing."

Gu Yan looked at her disdainfully: "Gu Yunxi, my good sister, so what if your brothers and mother have been bewitched by you? I have my father's love. He will soon become the head of the group. Sooner or later, you people will be kneeling and begging me."

"Gu Yan, are you in such a hurry to court death? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution? Do you think we don't know where you came from?"

Gu Yan frowned, as if she had seen something ominous: "What do you mean?"
