"Let's make a deal. I will teach you how to become a powerhouse, and you help me find a physical body."
Ling Xian grinned. The Dan of Rebirth could solidify his soul, so naturally, it could also reconstruct his physical body.
It was just that he didn't know where his physical body was, and his soul was weak. He needed someone to help him find something to heal his soul.
Even though the young girl's cultivation level was low and her natural talent was not good, it was because of her low cultivation level that she was easy to control.
Most importantly, Ling Xian saw his own shadow in the young girl and wanted to help her.
"Why should I trust you?"
The young girl raised an eyebrow. The word "powerhouse" was far too tempting for her. From how she was willing to endure pain, it was obvious how much she desired power.
However, her unknown past made her cautious against everyone. Naturally, she wouldn't trust Ling Xian so easily.
"To you, there are only benefits and no downsides. Why don't you trust me?"
Ling Xian softly grinned, "I don't care about scheming against a child. Don't worry."
"Those with bad intentions always pretend to be good people."
The young girl glared at Ling Xian, "If you want me to agree to this deal, then first tell me why you said I will die in three days."
"Your technique is to absorb the five poisons and exchange them for power."
"If it was an extraordinary technique, then it wouldn't matter. Sadly, your poison technique is not good enough."
"You think you've absorbed the five poisons, but in reality, the poison has already invaded your lungs. At most, in three days, your body will rot and you will die."
Ling Xian's expression was calm. The poison technique the young girl was practicing was far too inferior. Even the technique he created was better than this one by a thousand times.
"Impossible, I don't feel any discomfort." The young girl frowned. If the poison had invaded her lungs, there was no way she wouldn't have felt it.
"The pain you feel when you cultivate is getting stronger and stronger. That is the proof."
Ling Xian spoke softly. The young girl was mature and strong, but she was only a 14 year old girl. Her cultivation level was not high, so it was natural that she didn't feel anything.
"How do you know?"
The young girl's expression changed. When she first started cultivating, she only felt slight pain. But now, she was in so much pain that she wished she was dead.
"Don't judge me by your knowledge."
Ling Xian's expression was calm, "I can help you get rid of the poison and I can help you become a powerhouse if you agree to do something for me."
"I promise you." The girl didn't even think about it and didn't hesitate at all.
Ling Xian was right. She had no choice but to agree.
"A wise decision. You will soon understand how lucky you are to have met me."
Ling Xian softly grinned. He was an existence comparable to an immortal king. He was also a grandmaster of all four paths. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was the greatest fortune in the world!
Anyone below the Dao Attainment level who received his guidance would feel extremely fortunate.
"Is that so? I am not asking you to make me a powerhouse. I just want you to help me get rid of the poison." The young girl spoke softly. It was obvious that she didn't believe what Ling Xian was saying.
"You're quite an interesting girl. If it was anyone else, they would definitely kneel on the ground and call you master."
Ling Xian grinned. Under his careful guidance, the young girl's starting point was even higher than his, who encountered the Painting of the Nine Immortals. Countless people were jealous of her.
However, the young girl didn't seem to care. Her face was still cold.
"Do all ghosts like to talk so much nonsense?"
The young girl glared at Ling Xian, "You better not play any tricks. Though my cultivation level is low, you are weaker."
Hearing this, Ling Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even the undefeatable ancestor wouldn't dare to call him weak.
"Aren't you?"
The young girl spoke softly, "The you before me may have been a powerhouse. But right now, you are merely a remnant of a soul."
"You underestimate me." Ling Xian grinned. He truly was weak. If he wanted to return to his prime, he had to find a physical body.
But no matter how weak he was, he wasn't someone normal cultivators could defend against.
"There's no point in talking more. I will teach you a technique so you can absorb the poison yourself." Ling Xian flapped around his sleeve and sent the Shang Qing Technique into the young girl's mind.
He wasn't related to the young girl, so naturally, he wouldn't teach her a cosmic technique. Other than the cosmic technique, he only knew about the Shang Qing Technique.
This technique was extraordinary and was part of the Samsara Technique. It was one of the strongest techniques below the cosmic technique.
Therefore, the young girl was intoxicated and found it hard to free herself.
Though her cultivation level was low and her knowledge was shallow, even an idiot would know that the Shang Qing Technique was thousands of times better than the poison technique she was cultivating.
"What a mysterious technique …" The young girl opened her eyes. It was hard to hide her shock and also hard to hide her happiness.
To her, the Shang Qing Technique was a shortcut to becoming a powerhouse. Though it was difficult, at least she had a direction.
"Now you know I wasn't lying to you." Ling Xian softly grinned.
"This technique can make me a powerhouse. But my enlightenment abilities are not high. It will take me at least a year to master this technique."
The young girl looked at Ling Xian with complexity, "And in three days, I will die."
A year?
Ling Xian frowned. When he was cultivating the Shang Qing Technique, it only took him a few days to master it.
It wasn't that the young girl's enlightenment abilities weren't high, it was extremely low.
"Oh well, since the first person I saw after I woke up was you, then it means we are fated to be together."
Ling Xian was helpless. He originally thought that after teaching the Shang Qing Technique, the young girl would be able to detoxify herself. He didn't think he would still need to help.
Thus, he pointed out a finger and used his remaining energy to detoxify the young girl.
Black air rose and turned into the silhouettes of the five poisons before disappearing with the wind.
The young girl's entire body felt comfortable and refreshed. The way she looked at Ling Xian was still cautious but also shocked.
She had no strength to detoxify herself while Ling Xian treated her like he was drinking water. This alone was enough to prove that he was more capable than she was.
"I have already detoxified you. Don't practice your lousy poison technique anymore." Ling Xian's silhouette turned blurry and weak.
Though the Dan of Rebirth allowed him to be reborn, after he became a God, the side effects of the Demonic Immortal Bone were far too strong. It was already a miracle that he didn't die. Naturally, he was weak.
Luckily, Ling Xian met the young girl. As long as she can find something that can heal the soul, he can slowly recover.
Once he finds a physical body, he will be able to regain his power as a God!
"Thank you." The young girl's expression was complex. With the Shang Qing Technique that Ling Xian passed down to her, she naturally wouldn't practice poison techniques anymore.
Unless she was an idiot.
Thus, the young girl asked, "What do you need me to do?"
"Find something that can heal the soul." Ling Xian softly sighed. If he still had the Painting of the Nine Immortals, then he wouldn't need to spend so much effort to find something that can heal the soul.
Sadly, he was banished from the Painting of the Nine Immortals. Only when the soul and the body become one can he retrieve the Painting of the Nine Immortals.
"Anything that can heal the soul is priceless. I cannot afford it." The young girl shook her head.
"You really can't afford it when you are in the meditational level. But when you reach the original level, you will be able to afford it."
Ling Xian softly smiled. Treasures that can heal the soul are rare. Even the lowest quality ones are expensive. The young girl wouldn't be able to afford it even if she sold herself.
"Original level …"
The young girl shook her head with a bitter smile, "Then you will have to wait for a long time. Perhaps in this lifetime, I will never reach the original level."
"That is if you haven't met me. If you met me and needed years to reach the original level, then that would be far too embarrassing."
Ling Xian softly smiled. He was comparable to an Immortal King. If it weren't for the fact that he was merely a soul, the young girl could step into the sixth level in minutes.
