After entering the new body and checking its condition, Ding Yun was uncharacteristically perplexed. This body was too perfect. Not only was it uninjured, but its physique and talent were top-tier. The only deficiency was its soul.
What did that mean?
This body appeared to be in perfect health. It wasn't a death from illness, nor from severe injury or qi deviation. In fact, it was unnaturally healthy, pure and immaculate, truly an exceptional seedling for cultivation, possessing genius-level aptitude.
Her death could only be described as peculiar.
Therefore, after a quick scan of her surroundings and finding no one nearby, Ding Yun immediately merged with the original host and sorted through her memories to understand the situation.
Admittedly, the original host's death was truly bizarre.
The original host's life for the first twenty-odd years had been unremarkable. She was an ordinary person, born into an ordinary family, with average grades in school. She performed well on her college entrance exams and entered a decent tier-one university. In her sophomore year, she was pursued by a classmate from the same major. They naturally got together. After graduation, to avoid a long-distance relationship, the original host specifically joined the same company as her boyfriend, Li Li.
However, years of dating couldn't withstand reality.
Her boyfriend, Li Li, fell for a female employee from a neighboring company who had a family with three houses and was an only child. After less than half a month, he broke up with the original host, or rather, dumped her.
Her boyfriend was quite shrewd. Being with the original host, whose family only owned one house and had an additional younger brother, meant he'd likely have to offer a smaller dowry and wouldn't expect much else.
But with his current girlfriend, even if they demanded a larger dowry, he would still profit handsomely. After all, his current girlfriend was an only child with three houses. Regardless of the present, all of it would eventually go to them as a couple.
It was a surefire, no-loss deal.
Not to mention, his current girlfriend wasn't unattractive.
After being dumped, the original host was naturally heartbroken. Compounding this was the fact that her ex-boyfriend, Li Li, was still at the company. Seeing him and his new girlfriend from the neighboring company openly displaying their affection every day was undoubtedly torture for her.
After all, when they were together previously.
Because the company prohibited office romances, they had never dared to show their affection. The woman from the neighboring company believed Li Li was single, which was why she pursued him.
Now that he and his current girlfriend weren't in the same company, they could openly flaunt their relationship without anyone interfering.
However, these circumstances were undoubtedly detrimental to the original host. After all, constantly witnessing their public displays of affection made it difficult for her mood to stabilize. With an unstable mood, it was inevitable that she would make mistakes at work. The end result was that a month after being dumped by her boyfriend, the original host was fired by the company due to losses incurred from work errors.
They say that a person might fail in love but succeed in their career.
She had failed in both.
After becoming unemployed, the original host, to save money, directly terminated her lease and moved back home. She didn't rush to find a job. Instead, she isolated herself at home for three to four days to recover. Once she felt better, she began the arduous process of sending out resumes again.
And attending interviews all over the city.
Then, yesterday, after an interview, she happened to pass by an antique street, or one could call it a street of fake trinkets. As she walked, she felt a subtle pull drawing her in. Following her instincts, she entered and began browsing.
Finally, she stopped at a stall and haggled with the vendor for a long time. She spent a hundred yuan and bought a pendant that looked obviously fake, clearer than glass, to take home.
After buying it, she regretted it, thinking she shouldn't have bought it. Such an obviously fake item would be embarrassing to wear. She couldn't understand why she'd impulsively bought it.
What followed was her accidentally cutting her hand while chopping vegetables that evening.
While looking for a band-aid, she accidentally touched the wound with the pendant. Her blood was absorbed by the pendant, which then naturally recognized her as its master and pulled her into the life space within the pendant.
That's right, the original host's fate was this melodramatic and bizarre.
She had successfully acquired a portable space.
After numerous attempts to enter and exit, realizing she had indeed obtained a portable space spanning over a thousand mu, the original host was ecstatic and thrilled. The dejection and depression from being dumped and fired vanished in an instant. That night, after locking her bedroom door, she immediately entered the portable space to explore, eager to understand her miraculous encounter.
She also wanted to see if there were any valuable items in the portable space that she could sell for money. Based on her extensive reading of various novels, she reasoned that there was a 50% chance of encountering an apocalypse, a 40% chance of unexpectedly transmigrating to the 1960s or 70s, and only a 10% chance of remaining in the current world to achieve fame and fortune while triumphing over her ex-boyfriend.
If an apocalypse occurred or she accidentally transmigrated to the 60s or 70s, she would definitely need to stock up on supplies. However, she was short on cash, so she could only hope the portable space contained something valuable.
After a thorough search.
She indeed found quite a few good things.
The treasures were divided into two categories: one was several chests of gold, silver, and jewels that already exuded a faint scent of decay, and the other was inheritance jade slips and jade boxes filled with elixirs.
After examining the gold, silver, and jewels, the original host used her own methods, placing the jade slip on her forehead and dripping blood on it, to successfully read the information within. She learned that the jade boxes contained Heavenly Transformation Marrow Cleansing Pills, specifically designed for cultivators to cleanse their meridians and prepare for cultivation.
Upon seeing this, the original host eagerly opened the jade box and swallowed the pill within, which emitted a seven-colored glow and invigorated her senses with its aroma.
Then, a short while later, she died in agony.
She literally died from pain.
The Heavenly Transformation Marrow Cleansing Pill was the highest grade among marrow cleansing pills. It not only cleansed meridians and purified marrow but also brought one's body infinitely closer to a congenital Dao body. Most importantly, while transforming the physical body, this pill could also transform the soul, making it infinitely closer to a congenital True Spirit. Once successful, as long as one didn't fall, they were destined to achieve immortal golden immortal status with such special qualifications.
In theory, the medicinal effects of such a pill would gradually dissipate over time. However, the jade box was also a treasure. It not only preserved the medicinal efficacy from decaying but also nourished the pill to some extent.
After over a thousand years of nourishment, the Heavenly Transformation Marrow Cleansing Pill, which originally emitted a three-colored glow, had transformed into a seven-colored luminescence. Although it was still a Heavenly Transformation Marrow Cleansing Pill, its efficacy had at least quadrupled or quintupled compared to its original potency.
It was estimated to be able to transform a person directly into a congenital being.
Correspondingly, the process would be more agonizing.
The original host was an ordinary person, someone who consumed grains and whose body contained additives. If the Heavenly Transformation Marrow Cleansing Pill had only transformed her physical body, she would have at most fainted from the pain. But the crucial point was that it also transformed the soul. How could the original host endure that? Within a few minutes, the original host's soul disintegrated and died due to the unbearable pain of transforming into a congenital being.
