Mortal: Return of apprenticeship? Bug at the beginning

Chapter 159 Return Begins

"Han Li, this is the Soul-Nourishing Tree, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation. Please accept it and cultivate it well."

Jiang Tongyue took out the Soul-Nourishing Wood that he had obtained from the Xutian Palace from his storage bag and handed it to Han Li.

Han Li took the soul-nourishing wood from Jiang Tongyue's hand, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

This dark and ugly tree with bumpy surface is the soul-nourishing tree, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation. It is truly amazing.

"Ding, you have rewarded your disciple Han Li with a soul-nourishing tree, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation. It is detected that the current return multiple is 100 times. Please choose..."

"Choice 1: Return one hundred Soul-Nourishing Trees, one of the three sacred trees in the world of immortal cultivation!"

"Choice 2: Return a Bodhi tree seedling!"

A hint of doubt arose in Jiang Tongyue's heart, and then he chose the second option without any hesitation.

The Bodhi tree seedling also entered the system space. Jiang Tongyue looked at the introduction of the Bodhi tree seedling.

This Bodhi tree seedling is a fairy root that is more precious than the soul-nourishing tree. Practicing under the Bodhi tree can not only slowly strengthen the cultivator's spiritual essence, but also make the cultivator's mind clear and greatly increase the speed of cultivation.

In addition, this Bodhi tree will produce a Bodhi mind every ten thousand years, and this Bodhi mind also has infinite uses.

Practicing with Bodhicitta in hand can also have the same effect as sitting cross-legged under a Bodhi tree, and the effect is quite good.

And if the Bodhicitta is taken, it will allow mortals to obtain wood-attributed spiritual roots and a physique similar to the immortal body of a monster.

At the same time, if a cultivator who is nearing the end of his life can take a Bodhi mind, his life span can be extended by a thousand years.

Jiang Tongyue was very satisfied with the Bodhi tree returned by the system, because this Bodhi tree was a cultivation accelerator just like the sixth-grade lotus platform.

The only thing that gave Jiang Tongyue a headache was that the Bodhi tree had very high requirements for its growth environment. It had to grow in an environment with very rich spiritual energy in order to grow.

Fortunately, what Jiang Tongyue has the most is the Spirit Eye Spring that is hundreds or thousands of feet long, which should be able to meet the Bodhi tree's need for spiritual energy growth.

If that doesn't work, after returning the top-level spirit stone ore veins on Biling Island, placing them in the Blood Forbidden Land will definitely be able to meet the needs of the Bodhi Tree.

After taking their eyes off the Bodhi tree sapling, Jiang Tongyue and his disciples left the sea area.

A few days later, everyone returned to Xinghai Island. Han Li and disciples including Xin Ruyin went down to practice, while Jiang Tongyue took out the wolf-head jade ruyi.

"Fellow Daoist Yin Yue, could you please show yourself to see me?"

Jiang Tongyue said to the wolf-head jade ruyi that the reason why he had not given the wolf-head jade ruyi to his disciple was because of the spirit Yin Yue inside the wolf-head jade ruyi.

Yin Yue is also a popular character in the mortal world, and Jiang Tongyue likes Yin Yue very much.

As soon as Jiang Tongyue finished speaking, there was a flash of silver light, and a giant silver wolf suddenly flew out from the wolf-head jade ruyi.

"I didn't expect that you already knew my name. Could it be that you know my origins? If possible, I hope you can tell me."

The giant silver wolf looked Jiang Tongyue up and down for a while, then asked Jiang Tongyue with some curiosity.

"Yes, I do know a little about Fellow Daoist Yin Yue's origins. As far as I know, Fellow Daoist Yin Yue is not from the human world..."

Faced with Yin Yue's curiosity, Jiang Tongyue smiled slightly and told Yin Yue everything she knew.

He was not worried. After knowing all this, Yin Yue would leave him, because Yin Yue at the moment was just the spirit of the wolf-headed jade ruyi and it was impossible for her to leave.

"So, I really have a great background. Thank you for telling me."

After hearing what Jiang Tongyue said, Yin Yue was stunned for a long time, and then she spoke to Jiang Tongyue in a tone that was neither amused nor helpless.

"It's okay, I just did it for the sake of convenience. Fellow Daoist Yin Yue, let's make a deal. I will help you find your body, and you will stay by my side for the next period of time. How about that?"

Jiang Tongyue waved his hand nonchalantly, and then proposed to Yin Yue.

"Do I have a choice?"

Faced with Jiang Tongyue's proposal, Yin Yue just smiled bitterly and agreed.

Jiang Tongyue looked at the silver giant wolf Yin Yue's face, and a bitter smile actually appeared vividly on it. She couldn't help but chuckle.

Not long after, the silver moon turned into a silver light and returned to the wolf-head jade ruyi.

Jiang Tongyue also put away the wolf-head jade ruyi, and took out the Xutian Ding and opened it.

What disappointed Jiang Tongyue was that there were no other ancient treasures in the Xutian Ding, only two Bu Tian Pills.

However, being able to harvest two Bu Tian Pills is already very good. These two Bu Tian Pills can create two Five Elements Taoist bodies.

Jiang Tongyue happily put away the two Tianbu Pills, preparing to reward them to his disciples after the system cooled down.

Afterwards, Jiang Tongyue came to Han Li's residence and met the Great Yan God who was deducing the Great Yan Jue on the sixth-grade lotus platform.

"Senior, I was lucky enough to obtain a kind of elixir that can repair the essence of the soul of a cultivator. Perhaps it can be of some help to you, senior."

Jiang Tongyue took out a pill of the Concentration Pill that was returned by the system and said to Lord Dayan.

Originally, the Great Yan God, who was deducing the Great Yan Jue with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes when Jiang Tongyue took out the Mind-Concentrating Pill, and looked at the Mind-Concentrating Pill in Jiang Tongyue's hand in surprise.

He just smelled the medicinal fragrance of the mind-concentrating pill and felt that his spiritual state had recovered a lot instantly.

If he could take this pill to concentrate his mind, his soul would probably be able to recover to a large extent.

"Jiang boy, this concentration pill really has a significant effect on me, so I won't be polite with you."

Lord Dayan took the mind-concentrating pill from Jiang Tongyue's hand without hesitation and said to Jiang Tongyue.

He naturally knew that this Spirit-Concentrating Pill was extremely precious. Even a Spirit-Transforming cultivator would be jealous if they knew about it.

However, he had no other choice. The worst that could happen was that after taking the pill, he would try his best to deduce the Dayan Jue for Jiang Tongyue.

"It's okay. This pill can help you, senior. It's worth my hard work to find it. You should take this mind-concentrating pill as soon as possible." Jiang Tongyue just waved his hand with a smile. He had five mind-concentrating pills in his hand. Even if Dayan Shenjun took one, he still had four left.

Lord Dayan no longer hesitated and directly swallowed the Soul-Concentrating Pill. The medicinal power of the Soul-Concentrating Pill also burst out in his body.

The next moment, Lord Dayan only felt a sense of clarity in his soul, as if his soul had just left his body ten thousand years ago.

When Lord Dayan came to his senses, three days had passed, and the activity of his soul had recovered to the level it had been ten thousand years ago.

In other words, even if he is still living in a puppet, Lord Dayan can still survive for tens of thousands of years.

"That's right! My soul has fully recovered. Jiang boy, I have to thank you very much."

Feeling his own condition, Lord Dayan couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and then he sincerely thanked Jiang Tongyue.

"Then I'll trouble you, Senior, to deduce the higher level of the Great Evolution Art as soon as possible, as well as the method of refining a puppet of the Spiritual Transformation Stage."

After Jiang Tongyue heard what Lord Dayan said, she couldn't help but feel a little relaxed, but she spoke without hesitation.

Jiang Tongyue had expected that this pill could restore the essence of Dayan God's soul and increase his lifespan.

This is because elixirs that surpass immortal levels are not only dozens of times more powerful than elixirs of the same kind, they also contain the power of laws.

Therefore, only this mind-condensing pill, which surpasses the immortal grade, can solve the problem of Lord Dayan, thus allowing Lord Dayan to continue to live in the world.

"Don't worry, Jiang boy. With the help of your sixth-grade lotus platform, I will have endless inspiration. In just a few decades, I will be able to successfully deduce the higher level of the Great Evolution Art and the method of refining a puppet in the Spiritualization Stage."

Lord Dayan's tone was filled with confidence.

He was a genius who created the Dayan Jue, a type of martial art that can strengthen the soul of a cultivator.

If he hadn't been too obsessed with puppets, how could he have failed to break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.

And with the assistance of Jiang Tongyue's sixth-grade lotus platform, Dayan God's comprehension was raised to an incredible level.

If Lord Dayan was not left with only his soul at this time, the time required to deduce the Dayan Jue could probably be greatly shortened.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then, Senior."

Upon hearing this good news, Jiang Tongyue's face lit up with joy. She then bowed to Lord Dayan and left Han Li's mansion.

After returning to his mansion, Jiang Tongyue took out the Bu Tian Pill returned by the system and prepared to swallow it to complete his five elements of spiritual roots.

After swallowing the Bu Tian Pill, Jiang Tongyue took out a Ning Shen Pill and swallowed it directly.

This mind-concentrating pill can not only repair the essence of a cultivator's soul, but also strengthen the cultivator's soul.

This mind-concentrating pill, which is superior to the immortal grade, is of great help even to Jiang Tongyue now.

Sure enough, after Jiang Tongyue swallowed the pill, he felt the medicinal power of the pill burst out, which made his soul begin to strengthen.

Unlike the Soul-Concentrating Pill taken by Lord Dayan, most of the medicinal power is used to repair the origin of the soul.

All the medicinal power of the mind-concentrating pill that Jiang Tongyue took was used to strengthen the essence of his soul.

After a few days, Jiang Tongyue finally completely absorbed the medicinal power of the Ningshen Pill. Now Jiang Tongyue's soul is comparable to that of a cultivator in the late stage of Huajin.

This is simply unbelievable. You know, Jiang Tongyue’s current cultivation level is only at the late Nascent Soul stage.

After refining the medicinal power of the Ningshen Pill, Jiang Tongyue spent some time adapting to the surging power of his soul and then plunged into cultivation.

Although he no longer had the sixth-grade lotus platform, Jiang Tongyue still had the golden spirit bead, and his cultivation speed was equally astonishing.

After the system's return cooled down, Jiang Tongyue left the secret room and returned the two Bu Tian Pills, Qianlan Ice Flame, Jiuqu Lingshen and Xu Tian Ding.

Needless to say, the Bu Tian Pill is great. As for the strange fire, the Qianlan Ice Flame, its power has increased a hundredfold with the system's hundredfold return. If Jiang Tongyue can refine it, even a cultivator in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm will have a headache.

Compared to the returned Qianlan Ice Flame, the Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng brought Jiang Tongyue a bigger surprise. The returned Nine-Bend Spiritual Ginseng had its own powerful Wood Law, which could not only promote the growth of ordinary spiritual medicines and spiritual plants, but was no worse than the Palm of Heaven Bottle in Han Li's hand, and it could even promote the growth of a large number of spiritual medicines at one time.

At the same time, the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng can also use the law of wood to enlighten various spiritual medicines and spiritual plants, enabling them to communicate with spirits and practice on their own.

In the mortal world, spiritual medicines are also capable of possessing intelligence and cultivating on their own, but this is too difficult.

After all, spiritual medicines like the Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng would be picked by human cultivators or demon cultivators for use in alchemy and cultivation before they even developed any spiritual intelligence.

In addition, this Nine-bend Spiritual Ginseng also possesses strong combat power, comparable to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the Jindan stage, which surprised Jiang Tongyue very much.

As for the last item, Xutian Ding, it was originally a magical treasure. After the system returned it a hundred times, it actually returned to Jiang Tongyue a Xuantian sacred artifact that contained many laws such as sealing and transformation.

The Xu Tian Ding returned by the system is not only extremely sturdy, but even a Mahayana cultivator would have no chance of destroying it if he does not have a top-notch attack-type Xuantian sacred weapon.

The several laws contained in the Xutian Ding can not only seal and control cultivators or monsters who are no higher than Jiang Tongyue in one major realm, but also transform demonic energy, ghost energy, etc. into the pure spiritual energy that Jiang Tongyue needs, and then store it in the Xutian Ding.

After receiving these three treasures, Jiang Tongyue was very happy.

After placing the Nine-bend Spirit Ginseng in the spiritual field and throwing the Xutian Ding into the system space to gather dust, Jiang Tongyue continued to practice the Great Freedom Xuanjin Sword Qi.

With the help of the Golden Spirit Pearl, Jiang Tongyue finally cultivated to the peak realm of the late Nascent Soul stage after several years and could try to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage.

Now, Jiang Tongyue has several kinds of elixirs in his hands that can assist Nascent Soul cultivators to break through to the God Transformation stage.

Jiang Tongyue chose to use a pill called "Wuqi Nayuan Pill" without hesitation.

After being returned by the system, this Five Qis Gathering Yuan Pill can not only allow a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage to advance to the Spiritual Transformation stage 100%, but can also condense the Five Qis Gathering Yuan phenomenon.

Immortal cultivators who take the Five Qi Na Yuan Pill and break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage can be as good as those in the late Spirit Transformation Stage with their cultivation level in the early Spirit Transformation Stage.

As for the other kinds of elixirs that assist Nascent Soul cultivators in advancing to the Spiritual Transformation stage, although their effects are good, they are still not as good as the Five Qi Na Yuan Pill.

After Jiang Tongyue took the Five Qi Na Yuan Pill, he began to refine the medicinal power of the Five Qi Na Yuan Pill, striving to advance to the Spirit Transformation Stage as soon as possible.
