Mortal Transformation into Immortal

Two days later.

Yuchi Mountain.

"Junior Brother Yu, you're here again."

The young man looked surprised when he saw Yu Ling.

Because Yu Ling performed very well last time, the young man still had a deep impression of him.

"Greetings, senior brother."

Yu Ling bowed respectfully.

Because being a sparring partner is very helpful for cultivation, he couldn't wait to come back after his body recovered.

"What time was it?"

The young man asked.

Yu Ling replied, "At 1-3 PM, I'll be sparring with a senior sister who's at the fourth level of Qi Refining."

This time, he was assigned another siege mission.

An outer disciple of the Ziyang Sect, at the fourth level of Qi Refining, received a very high reward this time, a full five precious coins.

He wasn't originally qualified to be assigned here, but seeing that his Cold Nether Force was already fully developed and could be used for ranged attacks, they called him over to give it a try.

"It's her. Junior Sister is about to take the outer sect assessment. She's asked for six servants to spar with her. Although she's not very strong physically, her magic is very powerful. This time it's free attack, and there are no restrictions on the use of magic. You'd better be prepared. Although you have magic robes to block the damage, it will still hurt a lot. Your main task as Qi Refining Level 2 practitioners is to use magic to ambush from all sides." The young man warned.

"Understood, Senior Brother."

The young man turned and went about his own business.

Yu Ling waited on the mountain.

Many stone platforms were built in Jade Pool Mountain for disciples of different cultivation levels to compete.

......

Half an hour later.

"At the hour of Wei (1-3 PM), there were six people."

Seeing the young man shouting in the distance, Yu Ling quickly ran over.

The six of them changed their clothes and gathered together to wait.

A moment later, a girl in red arrived.

"Junior Sister Chen, they are your opponents," the young man said to the outer disciple.

"Greetings, Senior Sister."

"Greetings, Senior Sister..."

Yu Ling and the others bowed to her.

The disciple didn't speak, but instead looked them up and down, asking, "Senior brother, what is their cultivation level?"

The young man smiled and said, "Two are at the third level of Qi Refining, and four are at the second level of Qi Refining. Junior Sister, don't worry, there won't be any problems."

"it is good."

The girl nodded.

The young man turned to the crowd and said, "There are no restrictions on the means of attack this time. We will continue until our magic power is exhausted, but please refrain from attacking indiscriminately."

"Understood, Senior Brother."

"Alright, let's go up on stage and fight."

Everyone went up onto the stage.

The formation was activated.

Yu Ling looked around; this time, the array's range was fifteen zhang wide.

"Fellow junior brothers, it's about to begin."

A long sword appeared in the girl's hand, as she gave a reminder.

"Senior sister, be careful."

Yu Ling and the others attacked together.

......

night.

Yu Ling walked alone in the mountains.

"That senior sister actually knows four spells, and the combination of the spells is very ingenious."

As Yu Ling walked, she recalled the events of the day.

The girl's skills were not as good as the boy's, but her magic was truly powerful; she could switch between fire and ice in an instant.

It broadened his horizons.

"Cultivation."

Yu Ling climbed up the tree, sat cross-legged, and began his cultivation.

"It's not as obvious as last time."

However, Yu Ling soon opened his eyes again and found that the spirit bone's reaction was not as intense as before.

But this time, just like before, he fought with that girl quite a bit.

"Is it because it's happening too frequently?"

Yu Ling guessed.

I think that's how it should be.

"It seems that going too far is as bad as not going far enough."

Yu Ling closed her eyes and continued her cultivation.

Over the next period of time, he began to consciously control the frequency of his fights, eventually figuring out that five fights a month were optimal. This allowed him to maintain the vitality of his spiritual bones at its best without affecting his herb gathering. As time went by, his cultivation level steadily increased. Due to his frequent fights with the formal disciples who had received guidance from the elders, his skills and techniques were honed, making him stronger and stronger.

As spring turned to autumn, the young man cultivating in the mountains grew taller and taller, and his face became more and more resilient and mature.

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

......

"There's a monster."

"Help! Help!"

In the early morning, several terrified screams suddenly echoed through the misty valley.

In the woods, a herb gatherer frantically climbed an ancient tree, his face ashen.

Behind him, a ten-foot-long blue praying mantis burst out of the bushes and waved its large, knife-like forelegs at him from under the tree.

The servant was so frightened that he climbed to higher ground and kept calling for help.

But being in a tree isn't necessarily safe either.

The mantis looked up at him, then climbed up as well.

"ah."

When the servant saw this, he was so frightened that he almost fell down.

"Fireball!"

This was a low-level Qi Refining servant. To prevent the mantis demon from catching up, he quickly cast a spell, and a fireball appeared in his hand, which he threw downwards.

But when the fireball struck the mantis, its outer shell glowed, dispelling the fireball.

This minor spell is only effective against ordinary wild animals; it lacks the power to attack demonic beasts, and the fireball is too small to cause much damage.

"Sizzle!"

The burning pain made the mantis's eyes grow even more ferocious.

"Help, help..."

Is anyone there?

The servant hid among the trees, watching the mantis demon draw ever closer, and cried out for help in despair.

"call!"

A whooshing sound came from the forest.

Suddenly, a long sword flew out from somewhere and stuck straight into the tree branch in front of the mantis demon, stopping it.

After the longsword stopped, a chill was released, and a layer of frost quickly appeared on the surface of the tree branch.

The mantis looked in the direction from which the longsword had flown and let out an angry roar.

Ten feet away, a boy stood on a boulder.

"Blue-armored Mantis, a low-level demonic beast."

Yu Ling stared at the mantis demon in the tree, muttering to himself.

When the mantis saw him attacking it, it turned and attacked him in return.

Yu Ling remained calm and stood still.

The mantis quickly rushed in front of him and began to swing its forelimbs in an attack.

Looking at the two terrifying "scythes," Yu Ling calmly dodged them. The monsters seemed fierce, but they posed no threat to him.

A human and a demon were locked in a fierce battle in the forest.

"Too weak."

After more than ten breaths, Yu Ling leaped back to a distance of two zhang, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He had finally encountered a demon beast and wanted to experience it more, but after several exchanges, he realized it was nothing special.

"hiss."

The mantis demon, having already gotten its hands on him, charged at an incredible speed.

"Frosty Nether Force!"

Yu Ling struck out with a palm from a distance, and the mantis demon was immediately sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and remaining motionless.

The cold air spread from the center of its abdomen, freezing its internal organs into solid ice.

His Cold Nether Force had long been perfected, and now he used it with unparalleled skill.

"Return."

Yu Ling looked at the long sword stuck in the tree branch above, and with a flick of two fingers, the sword flew back to her side.

If I hadn't wanted to test my skills, that sword strike would have killed this mantis demon.

"I wonder if there are any demon crystals."

He swung his sword and cleaved the monster's body in two.

A thumb-sized blue bead fell out of the flesh.

"There really is!"

Yu Ling's eyes lit up with joy as she picked up the demon crystal, its surface feeling icy cold to the touch.

The Blue-Armored Mantis is a low-level demon beast, and the probability of a low-level demon beast giving birth to a demon crystal is not high.

"Thank you for saving me, senior brother."

Seeing that the crisis was over, the servant climbed down from the tree and thanked him profusely.

The servant looked at the monster's corpse, still shaken and terrified, realizing he had almost become its food.
