Mortal Transformation into Immortal

The commotion from the spirit bones didn't subside until late at night.

He started practicing the Cold Nether Force again.

This spell is almost complete.

He planned to master it in one go.

Noon the next day.

A chill emanated from between Yu Ling's hands.

"become!"

When a limit was reached, all the cold air dissipated instantly, leaving only a magic seal floating on the chest.

"It's finally complete."

Yu Ling smiled and, with a thought, swung a palm to the side. A layer of mysterious ice instantly appeared on a tree trunk a zhang away.

"Not bad, not bad."

Yu Ling nodded in satisfaction.

When the Cold Nether Force is mastered, it can be used to attack from a distance.

"Squeak, squeak..."

Just then, Yu Ling heard a sound coming from her hand.

"Jinliang, you're finally awake."

Looking over, he realized it was weight calling to him.

Ever since eating the spirit fish, this little guy has been sleeping for a whole month.

The little guy was spinning around in his hand, looking very happy.

"what?"

"Weight? I feel like your body is a little different."

Yu Ling noticed that Jin Liang's body did not seem to be made of flesh and blood, but rather a special spiritual force.

"Squeak, squeak,"

Jinliang called out softly, its body emitting a gentle light, and finally it slipped into his palm.

"Spiritualization!"

Yu Ling stood up and looked at his palm in surprise. He could feel a spiritual power hidden in his flesh and blood.

Jinliang is indeed no longer made of flesh and blood. Its flesh and blood have been transformed by spiritual power, becoming a spiritual body and a true spiritual insect.

He knew these basic cultivation techniques.

The jade-skinned centipede I saw in the market earlier was a spirit insect that had been transformed into a spirit.

"come out."

Since it had been refined by him, he had a thought, and Jinliang understood the meaning, and it emerged from his palm again.

"It became spiritualized so easily. Could it be that Jinliang was already a spirit insect with a spiritual body before I absorbed its 'spirit'?" Yu Ling guessed.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy for spiritualization to occur.

No wonder he stopped taking low-quality elixirs later; he was afraid of affecting the spiritual transformation.

"Squeak..."

He yelled at the weight.

I'm hungry.

Yu Ling sensed its hunger in its mind.

"Okay, let's go find something to eat now." Yu Ling stroked it and came to the tree.

The spirit insects that have been spiritualized can feed on spiritual energy, but Jinliang's spirituality has been refined by Yuling and become its own, so it can no longer absorb spiritual energy and can only draw it from other spirit creatures.

"Spirituality" is something that cannot be regenerated.

"Ouch, that really hurts."

Yu Ling came to the ground. Although a day and a night had passed, her whole body was still in excruciating pain.

It looks like it will take him two or three days to fully recover from that beating.

Although it's very uncomfortable, it doesn't affect my normal activities.

Yu Ling continued searching for medicinal herbs in the mountains as usual.

......

At dusk.

Inside a deep ravine.

Yu Ling traveled along the river valley.

Its eyes carefully searched the surrounding ground.

Along the way, we have found six medicinal herbs, but their quality is too low and we won't eat them.

"That's... a Danyang fruit!"

As they crossed a ditch, Yu Ling saw a fist-sized, bright red fruit on the cliff face ahead.

He was overjoyed immediately.

So they went there.

The Danyang Fruit is located at a low altitude, about three zhang above the ground.

However, just as Yu Ling approached, the weight in his palm suddenly trembled.

"What happened?"

Yu Ling stopped in his tracks; he could sense that Jinliang was extremely uneasy.

I realized something was wrong.

There were things around that made Jinliang feel scared.

"In this direction."

Yu Ling looked to the right.

"puff!"

Beneath the thick layer of withered branches and fallen leaves, something white rushed towards him.

"not good."

Yu Ling was startled and leaped backward.

The attack landed where he had just been standing; it was a spider web.

After the attack was launched, a huge creature suddenly crawled out.

"A demonic beast?"

Yu Ling saw it; it was a gray spider about half a meter long.

"puff!"

It then unleashed another attack from its tail.

Yu Ling quickly dodged.

Once he had steadied himself, he immediately swung a palm at the spider.

The spider moved swiftly, darting in and out of the ground to evade his attacks.

"puff!"

"puff..."

The spider gave him no time to react, moving about three zhang away while continuously spitting out spider silk.

Yu Ling didn't even have a chance to run away.

This spider is a fearsome predator, giving its prey no chance whatsoever.

"not good."

The series of attacks caught Yu Ling off guard. After dodging three attacks, Yu Ling's legs were stuck in the spider silk. With her movements restricted, the remaining attacks all landed on her body.

The spider pounced on him, its massive jaws, full of fangs, snapping open to bite him to death. In less than three breaths since it appeared, the spider had already unleashed its webs seven or eight times.

This is its hunting strategy.

They act swiftly and decisively, giving their prey no chance to react.

"Frosty Nether Force!"

In the critical moment, Yu Ling unleashed his full power of the Cold Nether Force.

The cold air quickly froze and shattered the spider silk on his hand, then slapped it onto the spider.

"hiss!"

The spider instantly let out a piercing scream.

Most of its body had turned into ice.

Yu Ling struck again.

With two palm strikes, the spider's cries ceased abruptly, and its entire body was frozen into an ice sculpture.

"That was close!"

Yu Ling tore the spider web off her body, panting with relief after surviving the ordeal, and looked at the spider's corpse with trepidation.

This spider may not be very big, weighing only about 60 pounds, but it is much more terrifying than the green python we encountered before.

Before he could even get a good look at the face, he was entangled in spider silk.

"Luckily, I know magic."

Yu Ling said with relief.

I almost died here.

This is just a ferocious beast, but it is even more dangerous than some monsters.

Yu Ling crushed its frozen body with one foot.

"Human bones."

Yu Ling walked towards the Danyang Fruit, but saw that there were many bones in the place where the spider had been hiding, including a human skull.

They're all rotten and blackened.

There were also some torn clothes around.

For the menial disciples.

Yu Ling felt a chill run down her spine. A servant had entered the ravine and unfortunately become food for that spider.

I almost became one of them myself.

Yu Ling took the Danyang fruit.

Because all the essence of the plant is contained in the fruit, he didn't touch the Danyang Grass. He plans to come back and take another look in a year or two.

The fruit is of good quality, and the weight makes me want to eat it.

However, Yu Ling dared not linger there.

Let's leave the ravine first.

"Weight, I didn't expect you could sense the hidden danger."

Outside, Yu Ling looked at the little thing in her hand with surprise. If it hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have been able to dodge the first attack. Without time to react, she would probably have been killed by the spider by now.

The little guy ignored him and focused on eating the Danyang fruit.

"Looks like I need to save up to buy a robe and some magical artifacts," Yu Ling thought to herself, gazing at the mountain stream behind her.

Those things are too important.

He wasn't in a particularly remote mountain area, yet he still encountered a near-fatal danger.
