Tribulation? Heavenly lightning?
Don't tell her she's transmigrated to the world of cultivation now?!
"You're saying I'm a tree spirit?" Su Chen stood up and dusted off her tattered clothes.
"Yeah, didn't you always say you've been cultivating on Mount Yu'e for hundreds of years?" Sparrow asked impatiently.
"It startled me when it first transformed into human form two years ago." The crow shuddered as it recalled the scene.
The thrush added, "When I built my nest on you before, you said that you would soon be undergoing a heavenly tribulation and told me to find a place to live as soon as possible."
Su Chen thought to herself: How come she changed her species when she came to this world of cultivation?
"So, Su Chen, you've successfully completed your tribulation and are now qualified to go to the Immortal Realm!" Hua Mei said happily.
"Go to the Immortal Realm?" Could this be a mission in this world? The dog system remained silent, so she had to guess the mission entirely.
And didn't the system say before that it would send her home after completing the previous female-dominated world? Why is it leaving her here now?
The thrush nodded its little head. "Hmm, they say that crossing the Li River will take you to the Immortal Realm. However, the Immortal Realm has erected a barrier, and only those who have become immortals can enter. But there are exceptions, though. We birds and butterflies can go in and have a look. Didn't you used to envy me?"
Sparrow nodded, and Su Chen could actually feel the disdain in the sparrow's eyes when it looked at her. "Yes, and it makes me tell you about things in the immortal realm every day. I'm getting so annoyed."
The crow, which had been silent for a while, suddenly said, "You'd better cross the river quickly, or the cuckoo might come and pick on you later."
"Yes, hurry up and get out of the water," the sparrow and the thrush urged from the side.
Su Chen hurriedly agreed, gathered the tattered clothes around her, and ran barefoot to the waterside they had mentioned.
This water was different from any water she had ever seen in the real world. Although the sky was covered with dark clouds, the water still shone with golden light and was so clear that the bottom could be seen. There were also blue-green jade stones in the water.
Su Chen casually picked up a piece, "Tsk tsk, how much is this worth?"
"Su Chen, what are you still doing? Hurry up and move along!" Sparrow couldn't help but chatter on.
Su Chen reluctantly tucked the jade into her bosom.
She stepped barefoot into the water, and the moment one foot touched the water, she felt its icy chill.
It's a warm day, but why is the water so cold?
Su Chen dared not dawdle any longer and sped up her wading. She crossed the Lishui River in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Even in the deepest part of the Lishui River, her feet did not sink, as if her body had buoyancy.
By the way, her original form in this world seems to be wood, right?
Before Su Chen could think much, he was stopped by a cute girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, dressed in a white dress and holding a whisk, as soon as he stepped into the so-called immortal realm.
"Who are you? Why are you dressed like this?" The cute girl in white poked at the hole in Su Chen's clothes and asked curiously.
Although Su Chen didn't know who this girl was, she couldn't see a trace of malice on her face.
Instead of answering, Su Chen asked, "And who are you? Why do you smell so good?"
"Does it smell good? Hehe." The girl turned around, and the fragrance in the air became even stronger.
Su Chen looked at the lovely girl in front of her and asked with a smile, "You smell very good. Could you be a flower fairy?"
"Hmm, how did you know?"
"Because you smell of flowers, a very familiar scent, it seems to be... gardenia."
"You...you can actually see through my true form?" The girl was startled and immediately took a few steps back. "What level of cultivation do you have? There aren't many immortals who can see through my true form."
Su Chen hadn't expected the child to have such a vivid imagination about her. Her lips twitched as she said, "I just went through my tribulation yesterday and only arrived in the Immortal Realm today."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief. "So you're new here. Come with me, I'll take you to register."
Do immortals need to register? Su Chen felt she had a lot to complain about.
Su Chen quickly thanked her and then asked, "May I ask how you are addressed, fairy?"
"Bai Chan, what about you? What's your name?"
"Su Chen".
...
When Su Chen went to register, the celestial official who registered her had Parkinson's disease or something, but he always wrote her name incorrectly. His hand shook like a cafeteria lady shaking a rice scoop. But at least he wrote her name correctly in the end.
Later, Fairy Bai Chan gave her half of her bedroom.
Su Chen didn't really want to trouble others, thinking that she could just find a sacred place that night and transform back into her original form, the catalpa tree, to rest.
“Su Chen, you’re already on the list of immortals, so you should at least learn from those high-ranking immortals,” Bai Chan pointed to the immortals on the distant pavilion. “You can’t just reveal your true form anytime, you have to learn to be aloof.”
"Taking a show of bravado?" Did she mean to be pretentious? Su Chen's lips twitched involuntarily.
Bai Chan blinked, looking smug as if to say, "You wouldn't understand." She continued, "I've heard that some minor immortals act arrogantly in the mortal realm and are revered by many people."
"I see." Su Chen quickly adopted a humble and receptive attitude.
Bai Chan then led Su Chen to tour the markets of the immortal realm, introduced several cities in the immortal realm, and several pharmacies where one could buy weapons and immortal herbs.
Finally, pointing eastward with longing, he said, "The east is where gods exist, a place all immortals yearn for."
"God?" Su Chen glanced in that direction and only saw a snow-capped mountain that looked like a grain of millet in the distance. She guessed it was too far away for her to see clearly.
"Yes, gods not only live as long as the heavens, but they can also control the clouds and rain and hold the power of life and death in the human realm and even the immortal realm." Bai Chan bowed respectfully with her hands clasped together in front of the east.
"Can't immortals do it?" Su Chen was taken aback. What Bai Chan said had indeed touched on a blind spot in her knowledge.
Bai Chan shook her head. "Immortals may live long lives, but lifespans eventually come to an end. Although they possess magic, they have no right to interfere in the human world."
"Like me, I am just a minor immortal, drifting like duckweed in the immortal realm, and usually I am at the beck and call of high-ranking immortals."
Su Chen sighed. It seems that whether one is an immortal or a human, there are things that are beyond their control.
However, upon seeing Bai Chan's grand mansion, Su Chen realized how naive she had been!
What a huge house this is! A traditional courtyard house with three courtyards!
"This...is this your home?" Su Chen's jaw dropped.
"That's right, my parents left it to me." Bai Chan seemed a little embarrassed. "Isn't it too small?"
"Pfft..." Su Chen practically spat out a mouthful of blood. "You think this is small?"
"Hmm, it's too small." Bai Chan tugged at her handkerchief, her face flushed.
Su Chen patted her heart, comforted herself for a moment, and said weakly, "Okay, I don't mind."
"Su Chen, you're so wonderful! From now on, we're like sisters, even though we're not from the same father!" Bai Chan excitedly hugged Su Chen.
"Half-father, half-mother?"
"Sisters?"
Su Chen felt like vomiting blood.
