But then, Gu BaiZhi suddenly realized something very awkward.
She had no idea where she was, and she was wearing the clothes she had on before she transmigrated into this world.
Soaked by the river water, her clothes were completely wet, and they didn't fit her at all.
Furthermore, Gu BaiZhi's storage ring was also lost.
The most important thing now was to find a small town to buy some clothes and supplies, and if necessary, some weapons.
After all, her current body was too delicate.
Before, with the Supreme Bone and Chaos Saint Body, she was incredibly resilient.
But this body, while truly beautiful, was also truly fragile.
Even a slight bump might be too much for her current self to handle.
She urgently needed weapons for self-defense.
Gu BaiZhi then realized another thing: whether the cultivation techniques from her previous world could still be used in this world.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she decided to try it.
Gu BaiZhi formed hand seals, and immediately, the spiritual energy of everything around her began to gather towards her, flowing continuously into her body.
"Good, the 'North Dark Devouring Heaven Technique' (Northern Darkness Heaven Devouring Art) can still be used in this world."
Next, Gu BaiZhi tried "Nine Heavens Free and easy travel" (Nine Heavens Wandering Freely) and most other cultivation techniques, and they all worked normally.
As for "Chaos Nine Layers," she didn't try it.
After all, this technique consumed a lot of one's foundation.
Using it once in the previous world had directly wiped out decades of her cultivation.
If she used it with her current body, she would probably be saying goodbye to this world.
Gu BaiZhi then attempted to summon the Demon Slaying Sword.
The Demon Slaying Sword slowly appeared in her hand.
Although many of the patterns on this sword had disappeared during that great battle, the patterns were still densely scattered across it.
But suddenly, the sword went berserk; it began to stir restlessly.
Gu BaiZhi frowned and quickly put the sword away.
She probably couldn't use this sword anymore.
It wasn't that the sword didn't recognize Gu BaiZhi's new body, but rather that the power contained within the sword was too strong, and the current Gu BaiZhi was simply unable to wield that power.
"Sigh, I poured so much effort into this sword, and now it's unusable."
Gu BaiZhi sighed helplessly.
Helplessness aside, life had to go on.
The sky was completely dark, and finding a town to spend the night was almost hopeless.
Gu BaiZhi gathered some firewood from around her, piled it up, and started a fire.
She sat by it, drying her clothes.
"I'm so sleepy~"
"..."
While drying her clothes, Gu BaiZhi became so sleepy that she closed her eyes.
But suddenly, a sound came.
"Help! Help!"
A young girl suddenly rushed towards her from the bushes ahead.
Gu BaiZhi was instantly jolted awake by the sudden situation.
The girl ran to Gu BaiZhi's side.
"Big sister, can you help me? Please, please!"
No sooner had she spoken than five burly men suddenly rushed out from the front.
"You ungrateful wretch, who allowed you to run?"
"Obey us obediently, and you'll naturally have your benefits; but now, hmph, not only will you obey, we will also smash your legs inch by inch, so you'll live in eternal pain!"
"Big sister, save me! I don't want to be with these people..." The girl instantly burst into tears of pain.
"It's alright, Big sister will protect you."
After saying that, she raised her head.
Gu BaiZhi's appearance was truly revealed in the eyes of those hooligans.
"So beautiful..."
One of the henchmen said.
They had never seen such a stunningly beautiful woman until now, hundreds of times more beautiful than the current number one beauty of the Southern Region.
"She is a fairy, no, she is even more beautiful than a fairy!"
Everyone gazed at Gu BaiZhi, mesmerized, even the young girl who had just been crying was staring at her, captivated and unblinking.
After a long while, Gu BaiZhi was almost getting sleepy again before the henchmen finally reacted.
"You want to save her?"
"That's right."
"Alright."
The leader pointed at the girl, then at Gu BaiZhi.
Gu BaiZhi immediately understood his meaning.
"You can let her go, but you must exchange yourself for her."
The leader looked at Gu BaiZhi with a lecherous gaze.
Gu BaiZhi felt sickened by this gaze; on one hand, she was a male soul in a female body, and on the other hand, they were simply too ugly, which had made her, as a man, feel disgusted before, let alone now with their lecherous eyes on her.
Upon hearing this, the girl's face, which had brightened a little due to Gu BaiZhi's beauty, quickly fell again.
She had only thought of finding someone to help, but she forgot that the older sister standing before her was also a weak woman.
For her own sake, she had dragged her older sister into this too.
She felt remorse for her selfishness.
Gu BaiZhi also noticed the change in the girl's expression.
She gently stroked the girl's head.
"It's alright, Big sister will protect you."
After saying that, she looked at the henchmen.
"Do you want to 'leave' yourselves, or should I 'send' you away?"
"Just you?"
"You alone serving several of us, you probably can't even handle it, and you still want to resist us? Haha..."
Gu BaiZhi just smiled, then raised her hand to condense a light sword, and with one strike, she cut down the henchman who had just spoken.
Everyone was shocked by Gu BaiZhi's killing method.
They had never imagined such a beautiful woman was also a powerful cultivator.
The remaining henchmen tried to flee.
"Did I say you could leave? My meaning of 'leaving' is for you to go to hell."
With that, she swung another sword qi, bisecting the remaining henchmen at the waist.
Gu BaiZhi retracted the light sword, a smile returning to her face as she looked at the young girl.
She carefully observed the girl, who was still a bit shaken.
The girl was Playful and cute , with a thick mane of black hair casually draped over her shoulders.
What most captivated Gu BaiZhi's gaze were her eyes.
Her eyes were like two clear springs, so lucid they could reflect anything.
When she blinked, her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, spreading a pool of starlight.
"What's your name?"
"Liu Yin."
"Big sister, what's your name?"
"Gu BaiZhi."
"Big sister, do you also like BaiZhi flowers?"
"Yes, I like BaiZhi flowers, I like their purity.
So, Liu Yin, when you encounter these scumbags in the future, you must never show mercy, okay?"
"Mm-hmm." Liu Yin gave Gu BaiZhi a big smile.
Looking at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, she was reminded of Liu Yan'er; Yan'er had also been so innocent and pure back then.
"Forget it, I won't think about those two rebellious disciples anymore."
Gu BaiZhi consoled herself.
"Oh, right, Xiao Yin, do you know where there's a town nearby?"
Gu BaiZhi hadn't forgotten her current objective—to find a town.
"Of course I do, Big sister.
Do you need to buy things? The night market here is very famous."
Gu BaiZhi nodded.
After all, she indeed needed to buy some clothes; her current attire was truly uncomfortable.
"Alright, Big sister, follow me."
Gu BaiZhi took out several storage rings from the bandits.
She would normally disdain to use money obtained through such dirty means, but considering she genuinely had no money at the moment, she chose to use the money from these bandits to buy clothes and daily necessities in town.
After all, why not use free money?
Gu BaiZhi followed Xiao Yin for about an hour before finally seeing the glowing outline of a town.
"Big sister, keep going! The town is just ahead!"
"Mm-hmm."
