Fairy, I'm going to control you tightly!

The night passed peacefully. The next morning, Ji Nanbei's consciousness sank into the system and brought up the Soul Transfer Panel.

After selecting the third empty slot, he took a deep breath and resolutely activated Soul Transfer.

A familiar feeling of dizziness washed over me, and the scene before my eyes suddenly went dark.

[Soul transfer successful. Loading target's cultivation level and talent data. Please wait...]

[Loading complete!]

Current Realm: Mortal

Talent One, Golden Core Body: A golden core resides within, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens. (Upon breaking through to the Golden Core stage, a special golden core will be condensed; upon possessing Golden Core stage or higher cultivation, combat power will multiply.)

Second Talent: Absorbing Spiritual Energy: Absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into one's body, this path is eternally flourishing because of me! (When one possesses the Golden Core stage or above, the speed of absorbing and condensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth doubles, and the comprehension of cultivation techniques also doubles.)

Talent Three, Nine-Turn Elixir Body: The body is like a precious elixir, the blood like a spiritual source, and the true essence of the Great Dao resides within my body. (This talent contains three special effects.)

The first effect of the Nine-Turn Elixir Body is that during the Qi Refining to Ascension stage, the blood possesses some of the efficacy of a ninth-grade elixir; after reaching the Ascension stage, the blood will possess the divine effects of an innate elixir and can affect the individual. If the blood is not voluntarily lost, the elixir power contained within it will be transformed into a deadly poison.

The second effect of the Nine-Turn Elixir Body: Any elixir or spiritual object consumed can be automatically transformed into pure cultivation spiritual energy, without any residue of elixir poison, and it also grants immunity to all poisons.

The third effect of the Nine-Turn Elixir Body: Before advancing to the Golden Core stage, one cannot engage in regular cultivation.

Ji Nanbei examined the impressive talent panel and couldn't help but marvel at it.

What kind of divine constitution is this...?

Based on this description, Ji Nanbei even suspected that even Xiao Jingxi, who was at the same Golden Core stage, might not be a match for this person.

Just outrageous!

However, Ji Nanbei quickly discovered the problem.

This person's unique physique only truly begins to exert its power and manifest its strength after almost reaching the Golden Core stage...

But the three innate talents clearly state: one cannot cultivate before the Golden Core stage?

Isn't this a dead end? No wonder this person is still a mortal and hasn't even entered the Qi Refining stage.

Before Ji Nanbei had much time to think, the darkness before him gradually faded, and his vision began to clear.

The first thing that catches the eye is a rather simple, even shabby, house.

The tables and chairs inside looked like they had been used for many years and were old and worn.

The bed was simply pieced together, and the bedding was just ordinary coarse cotton quilt, with several patches of different colors on it.

Ji Nanbei felt that this situation was even more precarious than his own dwelling deep in the mountains.

Ji Nanbei (controlling the new body) stood up and walked to the only mirror in the room, wanting to see what this body looked like.

It was a somewhat blurry bronze mirror, and the image it reflected was not very clear.

Even though the image was blurry, Ji Nanbei could still make out that the person in the mirror was a very beautiful young woman.

However, he appeared excessively thin, and his cheeks were sunken due to malnutrition.

Perhaps due to a long-term lack of sufficient nutrition, she was not tall, only about 1.5 meters.

Overall, she gives off a pale, thin, and slightly sickly "pale, thin, and young" impression.

Ji Nanbei noticed as he walked around that the body was incredibly weak; even an ordinary mortal shouldn't be this frail.

"Who are you?! What do you want?!"

A voice filled with shock and anger suddenly rang in Ji Nanbei's mind.

Ji Nanbei paused slightly.

Clearly, this is a question posed by the original owner of this body.

Yes, that's a normal reaction.

Ji Nanbei nodded to himself inexplicably.

How could everyone be like Xiao Jingxi, whose soul was possessed and who, instead of being terrified and resistant, was... faintly overjoyed?

Ji Nanbei was pondering how to begin, preparing to fabricate an explanation, when he heard the girl's cold voice say:

"Heh, you're one of those so-called 'remnants of a strong soul'? Trying to possess my body? But what use is a useless shell to you?"

This girl seems to have quite a bad temper.

"Perhaps you're not so useless after all?"

"Oh? Unable to cultivate, medicine ineffective, and you're not considered useless?! Maybe not now? But before long, I'll become deaf, blind, and mute, paralyzed in bed, unable to move! Then! Then I'll finally be considered useless!"

It was unclear whether that resentment was directed at his own situation or at Ji Nanbei, the "uninvited guest" who had suddenly barged in.

Even Ji Nanbei couldn't help but frown at this moment.

I just said "that's normal", but it seems I was being arbitrary.

This one is clearly not quite "normal" either!

Ji Nanbei realized that this person was like a powder keg ready to explode, filled with self-destructive rage.

Suddenly, Ji Nanbei noticed through the blurry bronze mirror that there was a rather conspicuous scar on the neck of this body.

The scar stood out starkly against that fair and delicate neck.

Although the bloodstains had dried, they had not yet scabbed over, indicating that the wound was recent.

"How did you get this injury?"

Ji Nanbei manipulated his fingers, gently touching the wound on his neck.

"What does this have to do with you? Why bother pretending to be nice to a piece of trash? It's pointless."

Ji Nanbei did not respond to the girl's hostile words.

It is obvious that in the other party's current state, effective communication is simply impossible.

He took out a bottle of Grade 3 healing ointment from the system space, poured out a small amount, and gently applied it to the wound on his neck.

In the cultivation world, a third-grade ointment is considered a pretty good spiritual item. The wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it should be fully healed in a short time without leaving a scar.

The girl fell silent.

Ji Nanbei casually placed the ointment on the table beside him before speaking:

"I don't know what you've been through, so I won't make any pointless judgments. You have a special constitution, and I need your help, so I'll make a deal with you." The girl remained silent, but her distrust was undiminished.

If Xiao Jingxi is the type who is easy to get along with and willing to place her trust in, then this girl is the other extreme—difficult to communicate with and closed-minded.

Ji Nanbei could guess some of the reasons behind it.

He has always been quite perceptive about these kinds of things.

The girl has been unable to cultivate since birth due to her special constitution.

Her emaciated appearance suggests that she was living in dire straits, which is likely related to her physical condition.

The scars on his neck looked like he had done it himself, probably because he was desperate.

Perhaps she once trusted someone, but that person betrayed that trust, bringing near-devastating consequences to the girl, which is why she now finds it so difficult to trust others.

Of course, Ji Nanbei is not the kind of person who would feel pity for women for no reason or meddle in their affairs.

If the other party is really unwilling to cooperate.

So, for now, just ensure the other party survives and keeps them in the Soul Transfer slot until you accumulate enough Magic Points to exchange for their talent.
