Mortal: Starting from replicating everything in Maple Valley

The Yue Kingdom, Jianzhou, and the Taiyue Mountains.

A solitary figure walked along the mountain ridge, heading towards the most magnificent and imposing palace in the center of Yellow Maple Valley.

Originally, the purpose was to meet with Zhong Lingdao to confirm his formal joining of Huangfeng Valley.

This should have been a good thing.

Unexpectedly, a fleeting, inappropriate look of disorientation would occasionally appear on this person's face.

Fang Mu is a transmigrator. In his previous life, he was a seasoned online novel reader. After reading a novel all night, he fell into a deep sleep and woke up to find himself in this strange and unfamiliar world.

Having left behind the hustle and bustle of the past life, I embrace the immortal path of this life.

In this world, one can draw in vital energy, cultivate immortality, and extend one's lifespan. One day, immortality will no longer be a dream.

As you walk along, you can often see streaks of light rising from the ground, streaking across the sky like shooting stars.

I witnessed firsthand the supernatural powers of flying and disappearing into the earth.

Envy immediately welled up in Fang Mu's eyes.

He possesses three spiritual roots and is at the second level of Qi Refining.

The reason I was able to join Huangfeng Valley is entirely due to my previous incarnation.

The father of the original body was a Foundation Establishment manager. During an exploration of a secret realm, he saved the life of the sect leader Zhong Lingdao, but was seriously injured and died in the secret realm soon after.

To express his gratitude, Zhong Lingdao spent spirit stones to smooth things over and bring Fang Mu into his sect.

Inside the magnificent hall, Fang Mu met the sect leader.

"Fang Mu, from now on, you are just like those Qi Refining Level 10 and above experts who participated in the Ascension Tournament and won, you are a part of my Yellow Maple Valley."

Zhong Lingdao looked at his youthful face, which bore a resemblance to his friend's, and couldn't help but show a look of reminiscence, and said softly.

"Thank you for your kindness, Sect Leader."

They left the palace.

Fang Mu arrived in front of a row of stone houses.

Enter the largest one.

Claim your introductory benefits.

One ten-fold storage bag, one set of daily refining tools, one set of green silk clothing, one green leaf flying magic weapon, and one combat magic weapon, the Blazing Sun Sword and the Cold Moon Blade.

This is the benefit that all new disciples of Huangfeng Valley can receive.

They are all low-level magical artifacts.

For those late-stage Qi Refining experts who passed the Ascension Conference, these things were practically useless.

However, for Fang Mu, it was a timely solution to his urgent problem.

Learn about the introductory rules, common precautions, etc.

He also learned that all Huangfeng Valley disciples, except for the first month of familiarization period after joining, had a certain amount of time.

At other times, you need to go to the Hundred Machines Hall every month to receive a task.

This can be considered a contribution to the sect.

After all, sects don't support useless people.

Completing the task will reward you with spirit stones, the amount of which varies.

If you do something wrong, you will have to hand over some spirit stones to cover it up, otherwise you will be punished.

However, for someone at the second level of Qi Refining, his combat abilities are limited, making it impossible for him to accept dangerous missions involving combat.

Within Yellow Maple Valley, there are sect rules that can protect him.

Outside, bandits roam freely everywhere.

With his level of cultivation, he wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of a Tribulation Cultivator.

They can only do some peripheral jobs, such as serving spirit beasts, taking care of the spirit herb garden, or doing odd jobs.

Although you don't earn much from spirit stones, it's a safe and secure way to make money.

As is well known, in the mortal world, resources are severely scarce, murder and robbery are common occurrences, and conspiracies and tricks are endless.

In pursuit of the path to immortality, some have even sacrificed their own beloved disciples to obtain the Great Dao.

For example, Dr. Mo.

Speaking of this person...

Fang Mu couldn't help but think of Han Laomo.

As we all know, the most important thing when traveling to the mortal world is to determine the timeline.

However, Fang Mu did not meet Han Li and did not know his exact age, so the timeline is open to discussion.

However, one thing is certain.

He had been to the medicinal herb garden managed by Master Ma.

After making some inquiries, Han Li was not found inside.

In other words, he traveled here before Han Li joined Huangfeng Valley.

There is ample time to plan.

Seeking opportunities.

The good news is that by joining Yellow Maple Valley, I will have the opportunity to obtain Foundation Establishment Pills in the future.

In the mortal world, in the Yue Kingdom, the Foundation Establishment Pill is controlled by the seven powerful sects.

Ordinary independent cultivators have no way to obtain it.

The only way is through channels distributed by the seven factions, such as participating in the Ascension Conference or the Blood Forbidden Trial.

Both methods are dangerous.

Independent cultivators already face a difficult existence in the cultivation world.

In the mortal world, resources are extremely scarce.

To advance on the path to immortality, you must have resource-based cheats.

Inside the dilapidated stone house.

I sat cross-legged on the bed.

Fang Mu activated the incantation of the "Eternal Spring Skill" that he had mastered.

The magical power within his body operated in a peculiar way.

With my eyes closed, I could feel the colorful specks of light around me, representing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, being drawn by a mysterious force from my dantian.

Sparse, two- or three-pointed blue light spots, unique to the wood element, flew in.

It travels along the meridians and blood vessels of the body, throughout the limbs and bones.

After a full cycle, it returns to the dantian.

It became part of his magic power.

However, that wisp of magical power, as thin as a hair, was almost negligible compared to the enormous size of the dantian.

Based on this pace, it will take at least four or five years to break through to the next level.

This is terrifying.

It should be noted that he is currently only at the second level of Qi Refining, which is the beginning of his cultivation journey and a relatively easy step.

The further you progress in your cultivation, the more difficult it becomes.

The difficulty of cultivation increases in stages.

His three elemental roots—metal, fire, and wood—are only slightly stronger than Han Laomo's four pseudo-elemental roots.

With this kind of aptitude, barring any unforeseen circumstances, one can spend their entire life practicing Qi cultivation.

However, in the path of cultivation, not only aptitude is important, but resources are also crucial.

In the original story, Han Laomo's aptitude was extremely poor, but thanks to the effects of a large number of pills, his cultivation progressed rapidly, allowing him to maintain the same speed as some cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots.

This clearly demonstrates the importance of resources.

If Fang Mu could also be like Han Laomo, consuming pills and candies to enhance his cultivation as easily as eating candies.

The journey may not end here.

Given his current condition, even reaching the Foundation Establishment stage is a luxury.

The formation of the Golden Core is nothing but a pipe dream.

Something I never even dared to think about.

Just when he was filled with worry and pessimism about his own path.

As his palm caressed the Blazing Sun Sword, an unexpected event occurred.

It's like activating some kind of mechanism.

Suddenly, a bright light shone in my mind, like a small sun rising.

A bronze mirror with an ancient and simple design, its surface smooth and clean, emerges.

It lingers and floats in the depths of my mind.

Ripples spread across the mirror's surface.

A high-level, mysterious, and strange energy flowed out from the mirror.

Following his neck, shoulders, arms, forearms, and so on, it reached his palm, onto the Blazing Sun Sword.

The Blazing Sun Sword instantly transformed into a three-dimensional form, appearing on the mirror of the mind.

At the same time, a strong sense of longing emanated from the mirror.

It was as if all he needed to do was take out a certain number of spirit stones and let the mirror absorb them.

That way, the Blazing Sun Sword can be completely copied.

Fang Mu shook his head, confirming that it was not a hallucination.

He then placed his hand on the Cold Moon Blade and the other Green Leaf magical artifacts.

The mirror reflects the phantom images of these magical artifacts, and they can all be copied!
