Chapter 1
Inside the Lu family’s grand courtyard.
“Kid, you’re not here to see Linglong, are you?”
Lu Jin, whose hair was completely white but eyes still sharp, put down his teacup and looked at the pink-haired girl beside him as he spoke.
“Master Lu, you really have good eyes.”
“Well, I wouldn’t have gotten in otherwise.”
Luo Huan didn’t give an awkward smile or scratch her head, nor did she seem embarrassed about being caught. Instead, she calmly flattered him.
A natural smile appeared on her still youthful, slightly chubby face.
After all, Luo Huan wasn’t originally someone from the circle. To find where the Lu family lived, she had been using the name of Lu Linglong’s friend.
“Go on, what is it?”
Seeing that Luo Huan’s pink hair and age were indeed about the same as Linglong’s, Lu Jin opened his mouth and asked.
“Master Lu, I want to learn Reversed Life Triple Layer, the Reversed Life Triple Layer of the Trinity Mystic Sect!”
Luo Huan raised her eyes and looked straight at Lu Jin as she spoke seriously.
“You... sit down first.”
Lu Jin, who still looked somewhat indifferent, immediately became serious, and his eyes met Luo Huan’s deeply.
Then he stood up and walked away.
“Whew~ I hope I can learn it.”
Once Luo Huan watched Lu Jin leave, her whole body relaxed.
Luo Huan was a transmigrator. Originally just a normal college guy, he had turned into scattered fragments after encountering sudden great fortune.
He had become a penniless orphan in the boonies, almost eaten into extinction.
At first, he thought it was just a rebirth and planned to use information from his past life to leap through social classes and become a despicable elite.
But who would've thought? Guess what!
During a small internal reflection before bed, he discovered a flow of energy in his body. When he ran out of the village, he actually ran into an organization that could take him anywhere!
Who needs to make money anymore? Time to cultivate immortality!
Money? With information, she could make money easily. But as for cultivating qi, that had to start early.
This world was far from safe. You might have money but no life left to spend it!
Not to mention, this was the world of The Outcast. Who knew if changes would occur that would render her information useless?
That was truly unsettling.
But every sect had its thresholds. They either demanded money or fate.
Or even if you got in, you might not learn their true skills.
Some clans, like the Zhuge and Jia families, required you to marry into them just to have a shot at learning.
So where could a kid with no background and no connections find a powerful and promising technique in a short time?
There was a way, bro, there was a way.
There were two paths like this!
If you believed in your own talent, like her, you could come to the Lu family and ask Lu Jin to teach you Reversed Life Triple Layer.
As long as you could meet Lu Jin and learn the technique, that was enough.
Because Lu Jin had willingly taken on a responsibility—to find a successor for the fallen Trinity Mystic Sect.
To pass down the Reversed Life Triple Layer, a technique that could reach near-immortal abilities with mortal methods.
And why did Luo Huan rate this technique so highly?
In a world where the average combat power was just guns, and cultivation was based on stacking life stats...
Reversed Life Triple Layer was seriously overpowered.
Entering the first layer granted the strength of dragons and tigers, putting you on par with seasoned martial artists.
The second layer was abstract. As long as your three core pills weren’t shattered and your qi (Vital energy, life force, or spiritual energy) wasn’t depleted, you could keep restoring and remain in peak condition for battle.
The third layer was even more abstract. You basically became one with qi, with no weaknesses on your body. You could fly out of thin air, rebuild yourself with qi, and even set up barriers!
Aside from needing constant awareness to keep it running, you were basically an immortal.
The upgrade path was clear, the endpoint defined, and each level's boost was absurdly high.
If you had the chance and ability, of course you had to learn it!
As for the dangers of breaking through, what a joke—what thing worth doing isn’t risky? Just charge ahead!
And those without talent could only try their luck in Biyou Village.
As long as you got in good with the village chief, the new leader of the Jie Sect, Ma Xianhong...
If you couldn't sense qi, you could gain it through the Body Cultivation Furnace, though its limit depended on your aptitude.
If you could sense qi, you could get the peak of modern weapon-crafting techniques—one of the Eight Great Abilities—Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements!
Damn it, Ma really was something. I could cry!
As for people saying the Eight Great Abilities are for chaos, Luo Huan considered herself a pragmatist. Was Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements strong or not?
Strong! So learn it!
Thinking of this, Luo Huan once again firmed up her resolve.
If she couldn’t enter Reversed Life Triple Layer, she’d go straight to Liupanshui.
“Let me nap a bit first.”
After rushing nonstop for three days and finally finding a lead, Luo Huan’s mind relaxed, and she instinctively adjusted her breath and entered a meditative state.
Suddenly, as she focused her awareness on the various energies inside her, Luo Huan felt a sense of weightlessness.
Her consciousness plunged downward, and her once confident perception vanished.
Her soul disconnected from the world, leaving only endless emptiness.
She didn’t know if it was an instant or countless years, but Luo Huan slammed down onto a chair.
The hard, slate-like feeling under her butt snapped her dazed mind awake.
“Ah... the Queen of Street Girls?”
Luo Huan muttered speechlessly.
Gray mist surrounded everything. A circular table with no visible edge stood in front of her.
Chairs stretched out endlessly on both sides.
Just as she was about to do something, thick gray mist suddenly emerged on either side.
Then, two figures appeared.
On the left was a catgirl, lying across the chair, over two meters tall, slim yet full in all the right places...
The terrifying aura she exuded was something Luo Huan felt she'd never achieve in this lifetime.
But when the catgirl raised her head, Luo Huan’s heart thumped violently—crap, a doppelgänger.
That catgirl’s features were exactly like hers, just looking more mature from early development.
On the other side sat a golden-haired delinquent, legs propped right up on the table, eyes squinting lazily as she slept.
On her slightly upturned nose were two crossed band-aids.
She was the wildest delinquent imaginable.
Just then, the catgirl cleared her throat and said:
“Nyah~ A newcomer, meow~”
That crisp voice spoke Mandarin with a weird cat-like quirk.
“Even though I already guessed what this is, I still have to say it, meow!”
“Come! My other self from another world, let us connect! Meow!”
As soon as the catgirl finished, the punk delinquent next to her elbowed Luo Huan square in the chest.
In an instant, countless memories flooded into Luo Huan’s mind like a breached dam.
But strangely, she didn’t feel any discomfort—it was as if these memories had always been hers.
“So it really is like that, huh.”
