Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Jiang Shi has embarked on the path to immortality, and in the future, he is destined to clash with these amazingly talented individuals.

However, I still need to continue to cultivate myself and improve.

With that in mind, Jiang Shi decided not to waste any more time.

Seeing that the spirit snake, which was in the late Foundation Establishment stage, was gradually losing its mind and moving only by instinct, he realized that now was the time to make his move.

Jiang Shi stretched out his hand, and the superior-grade magic weapon, the Thousand Serpent Banner, appeared in his hand.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, the ten magical water droplets within Jiang Shi's body exploded and surged into the Thousand Serpent Banner.

With so much magical power at its disposal, the Thousand Serpent Banner underwent a miraculous transformation.

The superior-grade magic artifact, the Thousand Serpent Banner, grew wildly, coiling towards the late-stage Foundation Establishment spirit serpent.

Normally, this spirit snake could easily dodge it, but now, it was lured by the snake-attracting incense, lost its senses, and knew nothing of resistance.

He easily and firmly wrapped it in the Thousand Serpent Banner, and then Jiang Shi continued to activate the Thousand Serpent Banner, dragging it little by little into the magic artifact space.

Jiang Shi saw that the speed was very slow. If this continued, the snake would probably regain its senses after the snake-attracting incense went out.

The serpent, having regained its senses, is now difficult to recapture within the Thousand Serpent Banner.

This superior-grade magic weapon, the Thousand Serpent Banner, can normally only capture spirit snakes at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

This spirit snake not only possesses the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage, but judging from its magical power, it is also at the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage, not far from the Golden Core stage.

Such spirit snakes can only be subdued with low-grade spiritual artifacts.

Jiang Shi now possessed the snake-attracting incense, which gave him the courage to give it a try.

Within Jiang Shi's dantian, ten more drops of magical water exploded.

With such profound magical power, Jiang Shi finally managed to bring this late-stage Foundation Establishment spirit snake into the Thousand Serpent Banner.

It became Jiang Shi's spirit beast, giving Jiang Shi another means of fighting enemies.

The path of cultivation is like this: only by constantly adding methods and increasing one's foundation can one go further on the path of cultivation.

After subduing the spirit snake, Jiang Shi moved his hand, and the superior-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, appeared.

Jiang Shi floated lightly into the water, and enveloped by the river, he quickly submerged to the bottom.

Underwater, in a snake den, a spirit snake in the early stage of Foundation Establishment suddenly darted out and pounced on Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi remained calm. With a slight movement of his fingers, he released a silk thread that firmly bound the early Foundation Establishment stage spirit snake.

"This early Foundation Establishment stage spirit snake appears to be its mate, while these Qi Refining stage snakes are its offspring." Jiang Shi scanned the snake den with his spiritual sense and found that there were more than a hundred snakes, most of which were at the late Qi Refining stage.

Jiang Shi was delighted to see these small snakes, as they would increase the number of spirit snakes in the Thousand Serpent Banner.

"Since we're all family, I'll help you reunite." With a flick of his hand, Jiang Shi's superior-grade magic weapon, the Thousand Serpent Banner, appeared, and ten more drops of magical power exploded within his body.

This is Jiang Shi. He has five spiritual roots, profound magical power, and extremely strong recovery ability. It would be impossible for other great cultivators to do this.

The Thousand Serpent Banner unfolds, enveloping a spirit serpent in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.

Although the spirit snake's body was tightly bound by the binding silk threads, it remained conscious and tried to resist the refinement of the Thousand Serpent Banner with its mind.

Under its resistance, the refining process is extremely slow. If this continues, without intervention, it will probably take a very long time to successfully refine it.

Jiang Shi also noticed this, but since there was no more snake-attracting incense, he had to resort to other methods.

Jiang Shi's heart stirred, and he quickly came up with a solution. Under Jiang Shi's control, the spirit snake with the cultivation level of the late Foundation Establishment stage within the Thousand Serpent Banner revealed its aura.

After sensing the aura of the spirit serpent, the early Foundation Establishment stage spirit serpent stopped resisting and actively entered the Thousand Serpent Banner.

In this way, Jiang Shi suddenly acquired two spirit snakes with Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.

Then, Jiang Shi continued to use the Thousand Serpent Banner, capturing all the spirit snakes in the snake cave and refining them all within the banner.

This family of spirit snakes can be considered reunited.

After refining all the spirit snakes, Jiang Shi continued to explore the snake cave.

His spiritual sense swept across the area, and something caught his attention.

Inside the snake cave, a large clam occasionally emitted a unique aquatic aura.

"This is it!" Jiang Shi recognized it. It was this thing that caused nearly a hundred late-stage Qi Refining spirit snakes and two Foundation Establishment spirit snakes to emerge from this small snake den.

With a thought, Jiang Shi's superior-grade magic artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl, emitted a bright blue light.

As the light swept across, the water surged, and the large clam was swept over by the current, arriving in front of Jiang Shi.

Jiang Shi then began to carefully examine the spiritual object.

The giant clam is two meters long and is a living creature.

Facing Jiang Shi, it released a burst of water-based spiritual energy, which lingered in front of Jiang Shi.

"Is this a gesture of goodwill?" Jiang Shi immediately understood the giant clam's meaning.

"Does it possess intelligence?" Jiang Shigang was about to investigate.

But the watery spiritual energy before him momentarily stunned Jiang Shi.

"This is the true essence of Gui water," Jiang Shi exclaimed with delight.

With this item, he could easily create a water-based body-refining technique.

"But this isn't enough. This giant clam contains the essence of Gui Water. Should we open it and take a look?" Jiang Shi thought to himself.

Jiang Shi hesitated, wondering whether to open it up and kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, or to let it flow slowly and steadily.

However, this clam is so large that it's not easy to carry around with me.

As if sensing Jiang Shi's thoughts, the giant clam suddenly shrank.

From being two meters long, it has shrunk to the size of a grain of rice.

"Could this be some kind of supernatural power?!" Jiang Shi thought in disbelief as he watched the giant clam shrink.

As far as he knew, no other technique could achieve this ability to change size; only supernatural powers could do it.

Supernatural powers can only be cultivated by Golden Core stage cultivators.

Foundation Establishment stage cultivators cannot master supernatural powers.

If that's the case, then the giant clam in front of us must be at least grade three or higher.

The third grade is the Golden Core stage.

Theoretically speaking, any spirit beast, once it reaches the third rank, the Golden Core stage, and acquires a demon core, will transform into a demon, possess intelligence, dissolve its transverse bones, and be able to speak.

Upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage, one can even take human form. .

For some reason, this large clam still seemed completely powerless to resist.

Jiang Shi's mind also told him that this spiritual object posed no danger whatsoever.

"Since that's the case, I'll accept this spiritual item," Jiang Shi thought to himself.

He trusted his instincts completely; if his mind told him there was no danger, then there was no danger.

This giant clam must have something special about it, but it certainly doesn't seem to pose any threat.

Moreover, Jiang Shi also desperately needs this Gui Water True Essence to cultivate himself.

If we miss this opportunity, we don't know when we'll meet again.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Shi put the large clam into his pocket.

But at that very moment, the giant clam touched his body...

Suddenly, it passed through Jiang Shi's body and entered Jiang Shi's dantian.

Following the updates has never been so enjoyable.
