The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter

Situ Xin carefully recalled the events of the night, and when she thought about the red light and the heat in her chest earlier, an idea flashed through her mind. Situ Xin quickly opened her clothes at the chest and lowered her head to look at the spot that had felt hot. "A phoenix-shaped birthmark?" After looking down, Situ Xin saw a red phoenix-shaped birthmark on her chest, and the phoenix pattern on it matched exactly with the Phoenix Jade Pendant she had in her previous life. "Could it be that the reason I was reborn with memories into my mother's womb in this life is because of the Phoenix Jade Pendant?" Situ Xin thought to herself as she looked at the birthmark on her body again, "Could this birthmark have been left by the Phoenix Jade Pendant?" Situ Xin speculated. She could only guess, as she had no evidence to verify her theory.

After Situ Xin had slowly digested the information about the space artifact from the Jade Token, she then shifted her attention to another Jade Token. She was curious about the contents recorded on this other Jade Token. The other Jade Token had more content; Situ Xin took a cursory glance and saw that it contained knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, all of which were comprehensive. In her previous life, Situ Xin had also been trained in these areas. Although she wouldn't say she had masters as teachers, she was nonetheless skilled. It was only after seeing the knowledge of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting in this token that Situ Xin realized what she had learned in her previous life was only scratching the surface. Besides these, there was also information related to medicine, which was definitely Traditional Chinese Medicine. In her past life, Situ Xin had also studied medicine, because as an agent, she had a high-risk job and was prone to injuries, which sometimes made it inconvenient to seek treatment in a hospital. Therefore, during their training, the organization taught them some medical skills, but those were Western medicine, totally different from what was in this Jade Token.

The more Situ Xin read the contents of the Jade Token, the more astonished she became. It wasn't that the things listed were extraordinarily bizarre or for any other reason. It was because the knowledge on the Jade Token was truly diverse, covering a vast array of topics, such as wine brewing, making rouge and face powder. One could say that it contained everything one could think of and nothing one could not find.

When Situ Xin reached the last few pages, she discovered that although the earlier content was extensive, it wasn't anything significant; the real highlight was still to come. The latter section turned out to be about the knowledge of cultivation. It introduced the various stages of cultivation, which were divided into Foundation Establishment, Spinning Glow, Fusion, Heartbeat, Spiritual Silence, Nascent Soul, Soul Formation, Spirit Division, Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, and Mahayana - these eleven stages, followed by detailed explanations of each stage. Furthermore, this space named "Phoenix Nest" also came with a special cultivation technique: "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles." Within the Cultivation World, this technique was unparalleled. This technique was divided into nine minor stages for each major stage. Upon reaching the fifth minor stage, one would seem to return to the beginning of that level, and one had to start cultivating anew. Once you reached the fifth level again, you would break through that stage. At the moment of breakthrough, the amount of Spiritual Energy gathered inside the body would be double that of ordinary cultivation techniques. Moreover, only the master of the "Phoenix Nest" space could cultivate the "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles," and as the master's cultivation level increased, the space would also improve. Typically, with each breakthrough, the space would also get an upgrade. Of course, if the master of the space experienced something extraordinary and it triggered an upgrade of the space, that would also be possible.

In addition to the "Dance of the Phoenix Nine Styles," many other miscellaneous cultivation techniques were recorded in the Jade Token. Situ Xin had already learned from the Jade Token about the benefits of cultivation: as one's cultivation level heightened, so would their lifespan, to the point of becoming endless. Along with lifespan, there were also changes in appearance. It's true that in the Cultivation World, there is no such thing as an ugly woman; as your cultivation level rises, your appearance will gradually improve, inevitably for the better, due to the influence of Spiritual Energy. Situ Xin thought that in the future, if possible, she would let the family members of this life also join in the cultivation. She had had enough of being alone and did not want to experience it again. Of course, whether or not to introduce her new family to cultivation would depend on her observations in the future.

The Jade Token also contained alchemy techniques and recipes for pills, such as the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Foundation Establishment Pill, and more. "Eh, how come there are also martial arts secret manuals? What's this? Tai Chi Fist, Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms, Shaolin Seventy-two Special Skills, how come these are here?" Situ Xin expressed her surprise. It made sense to find cultivation techniques within it, but what about these martial arts secret manuals? "There won't be a Sunflower Manual too, will there?" Situ Xin wondered to herself, but after searching, she found, "Fortunately, there's none." Having browsed through the contents of the Jade Token, Situ Xin had to admit that the world was full of strange occurrences.

Situ Xin felt like she had spent a lot of time in this space, although she knew that a month inside was only a day outside, she did not know exactly how long she had stayed in the space. Situ Xin worried that her family, concerned about her in the middle of the night, might come to check on her unexpectedly. If they found she was not in her room, that could lead to serious trouble. Situ Xin thought to herself that since the space was now within her being and unstealable even if someone wanted to, she would have plenty of time to study this space in the future. "I want to go out," she thought, and the scenery before her eyes shifted, bringing her back to her room.

Situ Xin felt relieved that no one had noticed her absence. She lay down on her little bed, staring at the faint moonlight streaming through the thin curtains, and slowly drifted off to sleep. Perhaps because of the long time spent in the space, Situ Xin was genuinely tired, and she slept well throughout the night.

When Situ Xin woke up, it was hunger that roused her. As she opened her eyes and was about to howl a few times to remind her parents that she was hungry, she caught sight of her brother in this life, Situ Jin, lying beside her little bed. As soon as Situ Jin saw Situ Xin awake, a smile appeared on his face, and he shouted to the outside, "Dad, sister is awake," Situ Jin's loud voice resulted in a flurry of footsteps outside. Situ Jin thought only his father would come in, but to his surprise, a group of people followed, with Old Master Situ leading the charge. When Situ Jin saw Old Master Situ, he regretted yesterday's events.
