Mortal Transformation into Immortal

These are nine low-grade spirit stones.

The shop was small, and there was no medicine cabinet displaying pills; just an old man in gray sitting inside.

There was also a formal disciple buying elixirs.

After Yu Ling went in, he waited on the side.

He only went forward after the disciple left.

"Greetings, Elder."

Yu Ling bowed respectfully.

"Are you buying elixirs?" the old man asked.

Yu Ling nodded and asked, "Elder, do you have any Jade Marrow Pills?"

He had already found out that most disciples of the Ziyang Sect took this pill when breaking through this bottleneck.

"Of course I have it. Nine low-grade spirit stones. You want this kind of pill?" The old man looked at him with suspicion.

Nine low-grade spirit stones are a considerable fortune for a menial disciple, and very few menial disciples would buy such a pill.

"Yes, Elder."

Yu Ling took out nine Ziyang coins from his clothes.

Jade Marrow Pill is priced at this price.

"Take it."

The old man flicked his finger, and something floated out from his waist, landed in his hand, and was handed to him.

It was a small, blue bottle.

Yu Ling took it, opened it, and saw a blue pill inside, accompanied by a penetrating fragrance.

"Thank you, Elder."

After confirming that everything was correct, Yu Ling gave him the money.

After bowing and thanking him, he left.

I'll buy it now, and after I finish the battle tomorrow, I'll prepare to advance my cultivation level.

Jade Pool Mountain is an hour's journey from the market. If you fight the monsters and then come back to buy the goods, the time lost in the process will make the effect less effective.

......

"You're Yu Ling?"

the next day.

On Jade Pool Mountain, a woman in black scrutinized him with a critical gaze.

"Greetings, Senior Sister."

Yu Ling bowed respectfully, while secretly observing him.

The girl in front of me looks only about fourteen years old, yet she has already reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.

"I heard from a senior brother the other day that you're quite skilled, so I've come to test my skills with you," the woman said.

"Don't worry, senior sister, I will do my best to make your trip worthwhile."

"Alright, let's get ready to begin."

The disciple in black turned and walked towards the stage.

Yu Ling placed her ceremonial robes, ritual implements, medicine basket, and other items in the corner of the stone platform, then changed into the ones provided by her senior brother before going on stage.

His robes and ritual implements were of ordinary quality and easily damaged.

These formal disciples were all full of energy and their spells were incredibly powerful. They didn't hold back when attacking the servant disciples, and sometimes even their magic robes couldn't protect them from all the damage.

He had previously seen a sparring assistant's leg broken, but fortunately, he received some compensation from Ziyang to pay for his treatment and recovery.

Opposite them, a long spear of black iron appeared in the woman's hand.

Yu Ling held a long sword.

"Senior sister, let's begin." Yu Ling was already ready.

"it is good."

The female disciple moved suddenly, thrusting her spear straight into his chest.

Yu Ling dodged to the side and swung his sword along the gun barrel toward the girl's throat.

The girl immediately leaned back to dodge, and after they had passed each other, she quickly straightened herself and brought the gun down heavily from above.

Yu Ling quickly shielded his body with his sword.

The spear and sword clashed, producing a loud, crisp sound.

"That was a lot of force!"

Upon contact, Yu Ling felt the immense power emanating from the gun, which numbed his arm and sent him flying backward.

The girl didn't miss the opportunity and immediately followed up, intending to "stab" him to death in mid-air with a single shot.

"Frosty Nether Force!"

The attack was too fast to dodge, so Yu Ling immediately struck out with a palm strike from a distance.

The girl did not try to take the hit head-on because of her protective robes, but instead quickly dodged to the side.

Yu Ling steadied himself and gave chase.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, the "spirituality" within the spirit bone began to react wildly.

"It's not bad after all."

The girl smiled, moved her left hand, made a hand seal, and several illusory longswords appeared behind her.

As she gestured forward with her finger, the longswords flew towards Yu Ling.

"not good."

Yu Ling swung his sword to scatter the foremost flying sword, and his entire body suddenly retreated.

The next illusory flying sword, formed by magic, was planted in front of his feet.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Yu Ling kept dodging, and all the remaining sword shadows landed on the stage.

If the attack misses, it will scatter with the wind.

After the girl launched her magical attack, she followed closely behind. Just as Yu Ling dodged the illusory flying swords, she appeared in front of him and thrust her spear straight into his chest.

Just as he was about to be hit, Yu Ling gripped the gun barrel tightly with his left hand.

He was pushed backwards.

The girl in black flipped backward and slapped the butt of the spear with her palm. The powerful force surged into the spear, and the spear flew out like an arrow.

Upon seeing the woman's movements, Yu Ling sensed danger and quickly bent backward.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the tip of the spear grazed the surface of his robe, narrowly avoiding it.

"A good opportunity."

Seeing that she was no longer armed, Yu Ling immediately pressed his advantage.

The young girl hastily retreated.

"Frosty Nether Force!"

Yu Ling struck out with two palms in quick succession.

The first palm strike is aimed at the ground, targeting the girl's feet. Once hit, her movement will be quickly restricted, and once she slows down, he can catch up and attack her with his sword.

"not good."

The girl immediately leaped backward, only to find a large amount of frost where she had just stood; if she hadn't dodged, her feet would have frozen to the ground.

But that was exactly the effect Yu Ling wanted, and he quickly unleashed his second palm strike.

The chilling aura coalesced into a ball of energy and slammed directly at the girl.

Since it was in mid-air, there was no way to dodge.

"rise!"

In the critical moment, the girl held her fingers up in front of her and gave a soft breath. A phantom of a golden furnace appeared, protecting her inside.

Yu Ling's attack landed on it, and the cold air froze the surface.

"go!"

After landing, she withdrew her defenses, and with a flick of her finger, several more sword shadows appeared behind her.

Upon seeing this, Yu Ling's pupils suddenly contracted, forcing him to stop his pursuit.

"call..."

The sword shadows whistled in.

Yu Ling dodged and weaved across the stage, avoiding each and every sword strike.

Such long-range attacks do not actually pose a significant threat to him.

"Not bad."

The girl in black did not continue her attack, but stood opposite him, looking at him with some surprise.

She raised her hand to the side, and the long spear in the distance flew over on its own, which she grasped tightly in her hand.

"She has incredible physical strength; she must have practiced a technique to increase her physical strength."

Yu Ling stared at her with a solemn expression. He wasn't afraid of any magic or defenses; what alarmed him most was the female disciple's physical strength.

The pressure from this female disciple was greater than that from any of the formal disciples at the fourth level of Qi Refining he had encountered before.

You can feel that there is a fundamental difference.

"Could he be a formal disciple with a Yellow-level Spirit Bone?"

Yu Ling guessed that above the mortal-level spirit bone was the yellow-level.

Mortal-level spirit bones require the approval of a "celestial spirit" to join a sect, while Yellow-level spirit bones do not have these conditions.

"I wonder if I can defeat her?" Yu Ling thought to himself. He was different from the other sparring partners; he wanted to defeat his opponent as much as possible.

"here we go again."

After the female disciple sheathed her weapon, she continued her attack on him.

Yu Ling brandished his sword to meet him.

He discovered that the girl enjoyed close-quarters combat to take advantage of her physical strength.

Yu Ling was completely overwhelmed.

But this level of suppression was just right, greatly stimulating the spirit bone, which made him even more excited, and his body was completely immersed in this wonderful fighting state.

With years of combat experience, he was able to cope even when at a disadvantage.

Several times it almost hit, but was blocked by the opponent's defensive spells at the last moment.
