Mortal: Copying the entry, reborn as Linghu Patriarch

The Yellow Maple Valley is vast and boundless.

The wind rustles through the bamboo, its sound fading into the distance.

Linghu Qing sat cross-legged on a giant rock in the middle of the lake, his eyes slightly closed, his brows furrowed in confusion.

He only has one question.

"Where did the steel coils for the sidewalk come from?"

He was just an ordinary office worker on Earth, but who knew that a roll of steel would suddenly appear when he was crossing the street after get off work.

I just dipped it in ketchup.

A sharp pain struck, and then I opened my eyes again.

He had actually transmigrated into the body of Linghu Patriarch of Huangfeng Valley, a powerful cultivator who had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

He had naturally read "Ordinary People" and was a die-hard fan of it.

Mid-stage Nascent Soul stage.

He's already close to the pinnacle of talent in Tiannan.

After accepting the facts, Linghu Qing felt a surge of joy.

I was just about to say that I don't eat beef.

His joyful smile froze again.

The timing isn't good.

He is over seven hundred years old, and soon the six sects of the demonic path will launch a large-scale invasion of the Yue Kingdom.

Yellow Maple Valley is in imminent danger.

"I just escaped the pressure of the workplace, and now I've taken on a mess."

Linghu Qing murmured softly, his eyes gleaming.

The survival of the entire Yellow Maple Valley, and the lives of hundreds of Foundation Establishment disciples, rested entirely on the shoulders of this body he had just taken over.

But he didn't lose his composure.

Having absorbed the memories of his predecessor, he is now the Linghu Patriarch, a Nascent Soul Old Monster.

There was no fear in their eyes, only calculation.

He looked up at the lake, where the old man's white hair and beard and wrinkled face were clearly visible in his reflection.

"I almost forgot I'm an old man."

Linghu Qing frowned.

When things are not going well.

The moment his gaze swept across the lake, a white light suddenly shone in front of him.

A semi-transparent panel floats in front of you, with clear lettering.

Name: Linghu Qing

[Realm Level: Mid-Nascent Soul Stage (Early Stage)]

Maximum number of terms: 11 (currently 4)

[Entry:]

[Wood-type Heavenly Spiritual Root (Metal): You possess a Wood-type Heavenly Spiritual Root, your talent is top-tier in the cultivation world, near the ceiling.]

[Health Expert (Green): You are particularly skilled in health preservation and have already entered the path of health preservation. Even without longevity-extending substances, you can still extend your life by 50 to 80 years.]

[Cunning and shrewd (Blue): You are resourceful, decisive, and possess extraordinary insight, making you difficult to sway by inner demons.]

[Alchemy Prodigy (Purple): You possess exceptional talent in alchemy; with only a short period of practice, you can produce finished pills.]

】

[Unique Ability: Can explore other players' entries and copy one of them. Each player can only copy once, and the copied entry will evolve.]

"A cheat code?"

Linghu Qing's pupils contracted sharply, and the worry on his face vanished instantly.

His lips unconsciously curled up, and surprise spread throughout his body.

His eyes were full of light.

As expected of a time traveler, he has the confidence to refuse beef.

"The ability to copy other people's entries and even evolve the copied entries is too overpowered."

The term "All Beings" enters my body; I will ascend to the heavens on behalf of all beings!

Hang it up!

Linghu Qing was overjoyed and laughed as if he were not a man over seven hundred years old.

Entry rating:

Gray, white, green, blue, purple, gold, red.

And all the entries he currently has can be evolved once.

This suited Linghu Qing's wishes perfectly.

Because his four entries weren't very good.

The Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude is only the near-ceiling aptitude; there are even higher ceiling aptitudes above it.

Even health gurus only live for a few decades.

Even the most cunning and shrewd tactics cannot increase combat strength.

Alchemy prodigy...

The purple entry looks pretty strong.

The original owner also knew that she had great talent in alchemy, but she had no opportunity to practice because of the scarcity of spiritual herbs in Yue Kingdom.

In reality, their alchemy skills weren't that high.

At best, he was the number one in the Yue Kingdom.

Once he left the Yue Kingdom, he became just another ordinary person.

I remember Brother Cheng Tiankun from Luoyun Sect, his alchemy skills were unparalleled in the entire Tiannan region!

But that's how he became a master alchemist by practicing with most of the spiritual herbs in the entire Xi Kingdom.

He cannot compare.

Here's a little-known fact.

He is older than Cheng Tiankun.

In the original novel, Cheng Tiankun appears when his lifespan is almost over and he is about to die.

He has lived for over a thousand years.

Having surpassed the maximum lifespan of a Nascent Soul cultivator, the title of Nourishing Life Cultivator is truly well-deserved.

He is now over 700 years old.

Among Nascent Soul cultivators, they are actually only just past their prime.

The reason he looks like an old man now is entirely due to the health cultivation techniques he practices.

"The Green Classic of Dead Wood"

A special secret method can be used to seal away the life force within the body, releasing it only when lifespan is nearing its end.

Prolong your life.

A side effect is premature aging.

It's essentially exchanging premature aging for extended lifespan.

This method is not cost-effective, but there are only so many longevity techniques in the cultivation world, and it's good enough if you can even practice some.

You have no choice.

This book, "The Green Canon of Withered Wood," is a cultivation technique that he obtained from ancient ruins at great personal risk.

It was regarded by the original owner as the greatest opportunity in her life.

"What a pity. If I had time-traveled earlier, I would never have cultivated this technique. I would rather have lived 80 years less to preserve my youth."

Linghu Qing looked at his aged reflection in the lake and sighed.

I recall that body crossing the road facing the steel coil.

Passionate, lively, and full of energy.

How wonderful!

"Some things we only learn to cherish after we've lost them."

"I remembered running in the sunset that day; that was my lost youth..."

On the panel.

Linghu Qing noticed a faint "Evolve" button hidden behind each entry.

He had long been dissatisfied with the entry and immediately made up his mind.

Without the slightest hesitation.

He silently chanted in his mind, "Evolution!"

In an instant.

Four soft yet dazzling white lights illuminated simultaneously, enveloping the panel.

The white light faded, the panel glowed, and the entries had transformed.

[Wood Spirit Body (Metal): You possess the dual talents of a Wood Spirit Body and a Wood-type Heavenly Spirit Root, placing your talent at the pinnacle of the cultivation world.]

[Longevity Person (Blue): You are naturally destined to live longer than others and possess unique talents in maintaining health. Your lifespan is projected to be 1120 years.]

[Intelligent to the point of being almost supernatural (purple): Your ability to see through things and analyze situations is almost supernatural; your scheming can even frustrate inner demons.]

[Grandmaster Alchemist (Gold): You were born for elixirs.]

His attention was focused on the first entry.

"Is the Wood Spirit Body or the Golden Talent already the ceiling?"

Are red-level entries really that hard to upgrade?

Didn't wait for him to think about it.

The body then undergoes changes.

"This feeling..."

Linghu Qing closed his eyes, and a warm and powerful energy instantly swept over his entire body.

He could clearly sense that the wood-elemental spiritual energy in the world was frantically converging on him.

That level of acuity was unprecedented; this was the power of the [Wood Spirit Body].

His top-tier wood-attribute physique was a perfect match for his wood-elemental root.

Not only that.

The Wood Spirit Body also provided him with ample vitality.

A warm current flowed along the meridians, bringing warmth wherever it passed.

In addition, the presence of long-lived individuals also infused his body with a great deal of vitality.

"I feel better than ever before!"

Linghu Qing put his hands on his face, feeling an unbearable itch.

"I think I'm starting to get new skin!"
