182: A pure-hearted college girl, starting with a sword.
"I've transmigrated!"
Gu Xinyan was stunned at first, but after a period of processing her memories, she realized she had transmigrated to another world.
This is a cultivation world where the strong are respected.
The Law of the jungle is the eternal Law of this world; in this land, the status of the strong is supreme.
Gu Xinyan was just an innocent female college student whose hobby was lying around scrolling through Douyin to look at handsome guys' abs.
But even so, she never thought she would transmigrate to another world in such a way.
It started when she was lying down playing with her phone, lost her grip, and—smack!—the phone hit her right in the face.
In the blink of an eye, the world had changed.
However, there was one thing that made her particularly dissatisfied.
"Why did I transmigrate into a sword?!"
Boom, boom, boom. The perspective widened.
The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range towered into the clouds.
Countless sharp blades were thrust into the continuous mountain range, each emitting a cold and piercing chill.
As the altitude of the mountain range increased, the shapes, postures, and grades of these long swords varied.
There were azure blue Flying Swords pointing to the sky, sharp emerald green long swords, and others that were silver-shining or even giant golden long swords... In short, these long swords all emitted Spiritual Qi fluctuations, showing they were not ordinary items.
The perspective narrowed, finally focusing on an extremely ordinary long sword in an unknown mountain gully.
That long sword was pitch black, its blade curved, its surface pitted, and it even had several signs of damage.
This was Gu Xinyan's current body; more accurately, she should be an Artifact Spirit.
Her body's previous owner, a Sect Disciple, had died in battle.
In that battle, the long sword itself was heavily damaged, and the Artifact Spirit was annihilated, but unexpectedly, the transmigrated Gu Xinyan took its place and it was revived.
Although she had transmigrated, her current state was probably not good; she could pass away at any moment.
Good news: I transmigrated.
Bad news: I've become a sword person.
No! I haven't met a domineering CEO, a cold handsome guy, a sweet little puppy, or a muscular guy with abs yet. I don't want to die!
Just then, a mechanical voice sounded in her mind.
Li Jinian personally did the voice-over to send blessings to his female Fellow Countryman.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for transmigrating to a wonderful other world. To enrich your Transmigration life, this System is dedicated to serving you.]
[The provider of this System is the (Transmigrator Containment and Rescue Center).]
[Ding! Does the Host wish to activate the System functions?]
"Open it! I want it, I want it!"
[Ding! This provider has three types of Systems to choose from.]
[Type 1: All-around Gacha System] Ten free draws at the start! Pay after you're satisfied with the rewards to take them away.
[Type 2: Mission Distribution System] Complete missions to get rewards! A large number of unique missions to enrich your transmigrated life.
[Type 3: Paid Check-in System] Pay first, then get random rewards. You can get a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact at most!
Gu Xinyan frowned. "Why does your System cost money?"
"Look at other people's systems—they can get stronger just by breathing or sleeping!"
[Ding! Small business, no credit allowed.]
[Ding! A friendly reminder: the free stuff is often the most expensive.]
Gu Xinyan thought about it carefully, and it was indeed true.
Fortunately, the so-called "money" for the System referred to anything full of Spiritual Qi energy.
The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range where she was located was essentially a super Spiritual Vein. It was the sword-nurturing Forbidden Ground of the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect, and the Spiritual Qi was very dense.
She only needed to work hard at her "job," diligently transmitting the surrounding Spiritual Qi to the System, to count as paying the System.
The first type of System, although it had ten free draws, had unstable drops; it all depended on luck.
The second type of System gave rewards for completing missions, but she was a sword right now!
The third type of System was quite tempting to Gu Xinyan, even though the rewards were random.
But there was guaranteed to be a small reward every half month, a Medium Grade reward every month, and a High Grade reward every year.
And who could refuse the ultimate reward—a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact?
Anyway, in her memories, Gu Xinyan's body had already been left in this gully for twenty years.
The situation was very realistic: no Disciple of the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect would choose this broken sword.
Especially since it was a sword at the very bottom of the mountain range.
What they wanted were the precious swords at the top of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range! How could a sword at the foot of the mountain catch their eye?
Therefore, she was prepared to stay here for a long time and fight a protracted battle.
"Choose the third type of System. I want to check in!"
[Ding! System selection successful. Now issuing the Newbie Gift Pack.]
[Please wait...]
A moment later, a strange surge of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured into her body.
Strands of golden thread surfaced on the originally damaged black long sword, emitting a faint glow.
It seemed to have changed; the damage was repaired, and the Artifact Spirit's form became more solid.
Not only that, but the quality of the long sword had also recovered from a damaged Low Grade Magical Artifact to the level of a Medium Grade Magical Artifact.
In this world, the Heavenly Dao favored Sword Cultivators. With the sword as the focus, billions of Cultivators were all Sword Cultivators, all following this Dao.
The cultivation levels here were also named after swords: Sword Practitioner, Sword Master, Great Sword Master, Sword King, Sword Emperor, Sword Venerable, and Titled Sword Saint.
The grades of swords were divided into: Low, Medium, and High Grade. The qualities were: Mortal - Magical Artifact - Magic Treasure - Spirit Treasure - Acquired Spirit Treasure - Supreme Spirit Treasure.
[Host: Gu Xinyan]
[Sword Body Grade: Medium Grade Magical Artifact]
[Sword Body Experience: 0/100]
Buzz, buzz, buzz!
Just as Gu Xinyan expected, even though her sword body was restored, no Disciple of the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect came to take her away.
In the following days, Gu Xinyan worked hard every day to absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, checking in and receiving rewards.
[Ding! Day 1 check-in successful. Reward: One pair of Mortal Rank Medium Grade straw sandals, 1 Sword Body Experience point. Reward has been sent to the system space.]
[Ding! Day 10 check-in successful. Reward: 10 Sword Body Experience points.]
[Ding! Day 15 check-in successful. Reward: 90 Sword Body Experience points!]
[Ding! Host's Sword Body Experience is full. Would you like to upgrade now?]
"Of course, upgrade now," Gu Xinyan said without hesitation.
As her voice fell, a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the surroundings, and the atmosphere in the entire gully suddenly became murderous and solemn.
An invisible and powerful Sword Intent spread out, causing many spirit swords in the gully to tremble.
The spirit sword transformed. Amidst the surging light, Gu Xinyan's body was promoted to a High Grade Magical Artifact!
[Host: Gu Xinyan]
[Sword Body Grade: High Grade Magical Artifact]
[Sword Body Experience: 0/1500]
After the upgrade was complete, Gu Xinyan only celebrated briefly before continuing her "work."
The reason she worked so hard was that the System told her that as long as she worked hard to absorb Spiritual Qi and checked in every day, she would eventually obtain a body.
For the domineering CEOs, cold handsome guys, sweet little puppies, and muscular guys with abs...
She had to work hard!
Hehehe, at the thought of this, Gu Xinyan's mouth couldn't help but water... Time passed, rain fell and stopped, lights flickered out and lit up again.
In the blink of an eye, three whole years had passed in the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range.
This day was quite extraordinary.
[Host: Gu Xinyan]
[Sword Body Grade: High Grade Magical Artifact]
[Sword Body Experience: 1499/1500]
Today, she would be promoted to a Magic Treasure!
[Ding! Check-in successful. Reward: 1 Sword Body Experience point!]
[Ding! Host's Sword Body Experience is full. Would you like to upgrade now?]
"Upgrade!"
Three years later, a majestic Sword Qi erupted once again.
After a burst of brilliant special effects, Gu Xinyan successfully advanced to a Low Grade Magic Treasure.
At the same time, a low-level Disciple of the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect also stepped into the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range.
He was very tragic: lost his mother at three, lost his father at seven, and was a beggar until he was ten. Later, he was noticed by a passing Cultivator and taken away to Cultivate.
He thought he could finally eat his fill, but he didn't expect the Cultivator to be an evil one; he was captured to be a medicine-testing boy.
He could eat his fill, but he was eating poison and toxic pills until he was full.
It wasn't until he was fifteen, having developed a poison-resistant Physique from testing medicines, that he was accidentally rescued by Disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect.
Later, an Elder learned of his story and, pitying him, made an exception to let him join the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect as the lowest-level Utility Disciple.
By the way, his main job was being a medicine-testing Disciple in the Alchemy Hall.
Today was his first year in the Dragon Elephant Sword Sect. After a year of settling in, he finally became a Three-star Sword Practitioner.
Due to his outstanding work performance, he was exceptionally allowed to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range to take a spirit sword.
Although his cultivation was not high and he couldn't reach the peak of the mountain range, he still cared a lot about this matter.
However, the moment he truly stepped into the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range, he realized his own shortsightedness.
The Ten Thousand Swords Mountain Range was about two thousand zhang high.
As the height increased, climbing became more and more difficult.
Don't even think about those Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures; they were at least a thousand zhang high. Even a grand Great Sword Master would struggle to get up there, let alone a Three-star Sword Practitioner like him.
With his low cultivation, he could only go to some mountain gullies to try his luck and see if there were any better Mortal Grade swords.
After searching through several gullies, he finally discovered a spirit sword with an excellent appearance.
"Your name is chengying sword? A good name."
"My name is Hao Fuqing. From now on, I am your master."
