Reborn as a Snake: Many Children, Many Blessings, Only I, the Green Snake Immortal

Of course, Qingpeng King and Feng Chixiao were not the only ones who recognized the portrait.

Some people read it and put it away, while others repeatedly inquired about the location of the Yandao Sect.

In different parts of the three dynasties, a portrait fell into the hands of different people, evoking different thoughts in each.

Not long after, news came from Kunqian Mountain.

After the demon in blue left, some cultivators mustered their courage and went back, hoping to find something.

They actually found it.

The already cracked mountain continued to collapse, rocks rolled down, and the massive mountain gradually disintegrated, releasing a great deal of mystical matter.

Those who fled too slowly earlier feared for their lives, but those who ran back now stumbled upon a stroke of good fortune.

One of them benefited and broke through to become a Grandmaster.

When the news first came, some people didn't believe it, but once the breakthrough was confirmed, the discussion changed immediately.

Grandmaster!

Many cultivators have toiled for years but still haven't been able to cross that threshold.

But someone went back to try and find a loophole, so they stepped over it.

The other returnee obtained a damaged weapon.

Although the object was incomplete, its sharpness was astonishing, and as it was passed down, some people began to describe it as indestructible.

Hearing this, even those who were initially glad they hadn't gone to Kunming and Qianshan were starting to feel uneasy.

"These are probably just scraps; the real good stuff was already taken by that devil!"

Someone recalled the masters who had died in Kunqian Mountain and warned the speaker to be careful.

The other person agreed verbally, but did not put down the portrait in their hand.

The casualties speak for themselves; everyone knows that the Green-Clad Demon is not to be trifled with.

But the allure of a magical treasure cannot be deterred by simply saying it's not something to be trifled with.

Previously, everyone only knew that many people had died fighting for the treasure, but now that living beneficiaries have stepped forward, many people's thoughts have changed.

Even those who couldn't get close to the alchemy furnace can have such gains; if one were to obtain the furnace...

As for the outside cultivators who knew about the dispute over the furnace at Woyunlu, they naturally knew that there was something wrong with these claims.

That furnace has a different origin; it's not a treasure nurtured by the Kunqian Mountains.

However, knowing this doesn't stop them from thinking about it.

A treasure that once attracted many powerful figures has now been located, and people are naturally eager to find out more.

The name Yandao Sect began to be mentioned by more and more people.

……

Xu Qing and his group finally returned to the Yandao Sect.

The group dispersed in front of the mountain gate, and Leng Feiyue, carrying the Immortal Furnace, went directly to a place to cultivate in seclusion.

It took a long time to clean it up on the way back, but the bloodstains on the stove surface were not completely removed.

Now that she no longer has to rush, she can finally calm down and properly help Lu Zi solve this problem.

As they parted, Leng Feiyue glanced at him and said, "Don't let your injury linger."

"I know, you take care of the stove first."

Xu Qing responded and, after she and the Immortal Furnace left, went to the herb field alone.

From a distance, he saw the dragon-shaped medicinal herb clinging to the rock.

"She's quite good-looking."

Xu Qing approached, his gaze first falling on the blood-red strange stone below.

Before I left, the stone was so red it looked like it was soaked in blood, but now its color has faded considerably.

Several roots tightly coiled around the stone body, above which was the crystal-clear medicinal body; through the outer skin, one could vaguely see the flowing luster within.

The medicinal herb had grown much stronger than when he left, its branches and leaves now fully extended, no longer resembling its withered state.

What surprised Xu Qing the most was that there were two more fruits among the branches and leaves.

He reached out and brushed aside the leaves, and a faint sound came from behind, like the roar of a dragon.

Xu Qing paused, then leaned closer to take another look.

The sound came from the fruit.

Two fruits hung on the branch, half-hidden by glistening leaves. With a gentle touch, the thin branches attached to the fruits swayed.

The stone was impossible to break no matter how hard I tried, but after giving it to this spiritual herb, it underwent this transformation.

He picked the two fruits, glanced at them in his palm, and then put them away.

"Give me three more drops of the essence of life."

The dragon-shaped medicinal herb's outstretched branches and leaves suddenly closed up.

The dragon-shaped herb twisted its body, and several of its roots moved behind the strange rock, as if trying to hide itself.

The roots were still coiled on the stone, and no matter how much it moved, it only shrank back a little.

A vague divine thought came through, full of reluctance.

Xu Qing looked down at it.

"I've given you the stones, I've given you the herb garden, and you can't even part with three drops of essence?"

The leaves of the herb trembled slightly, and its roots stopped moving.

Xu Qing stretched out his hand and waited.

After a moment, it finally slowly unfurled its branches and leaves, condensed three drops of life essence, and handed them to him.

Its essence is crystal clear, accompanied by a rich aroma, and a vibrant vitality spreads out.

Xu Qing took it and nodded in satisfaction.

"That's more like it."

The herb drooped a few leaves and hugged the blood-red stone tightly again.

Xu Qing collected the essence, turned and left the herb field, finding a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion.

……

The door closed, and finally, all was quiet.

Xu Qing sat cross-legged and had just adjusted his breathing when a dull pain came from his chest and abdomen.

The injuries sustained during his fight with Xiao Yu, coupled with the subsequent heavy blows from several second-rank soldiers, had already left him severely wounded both internally and externally.

Especially at the broken bone sites, the slightest movement causes pain to drill straight in.

He had been holding on while chasing the enemy.

Now that there's no need to worry about anything else, I calmed down and examined the wounds closely, only to find that some of them were more troublesome than I had expected.

The lacerations in his internal organs had not healed properly, and even a slight circulation of his magical power could cause a feeling of stagnation from the damaged areas.

The blood pills from the furnace did indeed restore my mana, but I'll have to find another way to deal with these injuries.

Xu Qing slowly regulated his breathing, first calming the restless blood and qi in his body, and then using his magic power to nourish the injured area.

After some time, the pain in his chest and abdomen lessened slightly, but the degree of improvement in his injuries was very limited.

At this rate, how long will it take to raise them?

He frowned.

In the outside world, with his demonic body, recovery would not have been so difficult.

In this world, even recovering from an injury is much more difficult than usual!

Xu Qing took out the three drops of life essence and swallowed them orally.

The medicinal properties dissipated, and a warm, vital energy flowed into the body.

He focused his mind and guided it little by little to the damaged internal organs and broken bones.

This time, the injury finally showed a more noticeable change.

The tight pain in my chest and abdomen eased a bit, and I felt a warmth around the broken bone.

However, the damage was too severe, and after the medicinal effects wore off, it could only be repaired slowly, far from being able to be used freely.

Xu Qing exhaled a breath of stale air, not in a hurry to end his meditation.

He thought of the Nine Breaths Breath Method.

This Heavenly Gang Technique can absorb the primordial energy of the void, refine magical power, and regulate breathing to nourish the body.

We're currently in a place devoid of spiritual energy, so we'll have to try it to see how effective it will be.

Xu Qing calmed down and adjusted his breathing according to this method.

At first, his breathing was slow, and the wounds in his chest and abdomen prevented him from trying to speed up his breathing.

As the breathing gradually becomes smoother, the Nine Breaths Breathing Method truly begins to operate.

A wisp of the essence of heaven and earth was exhaled and inhaled into the body.

Xu Qing's heart stirred slightly, and he continued to circulate the technique.

Immediately afterwards, more essence was absorbed and circulated within the body, and the somewhat sluggish magical power also became more active.

It actually works!

He steadied his breathing and carefully sensed the changes within.

The medicinal power of the life essence is still nourishing the wound. As the essence of heaven and earth continues to flow in, the dull pain between the internal organs begins to lessen, and the recovery of the damaged area is significantly faster!

The slight improvement I felt after a long period of adjusting my breathing has become much clearer with each breath!

The mana within his body was also being rapidly replenished, becoming increasingly abundant with each breath of breathing.

The wrinkles between Xu Qing's brows smoothed out.

Unexpectedly, in this desolate world, the Nine Breaths Breathing Method has such amazing effects!

What incredible power!
