Mortal Transformation into Immortal

Fifteen minutes later.

"Clang!"

Yu Ling struck her defensive spell with his sword.

The illusory image of the golden furnace kept flashing, blocking his sword moves.

The girl then thrust her spear from inside, but the attack was ineffective, and Yu Ling immediately retreated.

"Overturned Water Palm!"

The girl gave a soft shout and pressed her attack, a stream of water appearing in her palm as she slapped him.

After fighting for so long, Yu Ling's stamina was almost exhausted. He couldn't dodge this attack in time and was sent flying by a palm strike.

It rolled three times on the ground before stopping.

"Frosty Nether Force!"

Seeing the girl chasing after him, Yu Ling had no choice but to use his Cold Nether Force to defend himself.

But this time the girl did not stop. Instead, she conjured a golden furnace, blocked the attack, and arrived in front of him.

The tip of the gun was pressed against his brow.

Yu Ling felt a chill spreading from between her eyebrows.

The outcome is already decided.

"Not bad, you managed to hold out against me for so long, it wasn't a wasted trip." The girl put the gun away and said to him.

"If my senior sister hadn't held back, I would have lost long ago."

Yu Ling stood up, looking exhausted, while the girl looked perfectly normal, only slightly out of breath, her stamina seemingly much better.

He wasn't just being polite; it was true. The girl in front of him mainly relied on physical strength for attacks and didn't use magic often. If she used magic more, he would be defeated very quickly.

"As a menial disciple, you've done quite well."

The girl put the weapon into her storage bag and continued, "Your offensive power is very strong, which is quite rare. If I didn't know defensive spells, the outcome would be uncertain."

"This is also part of your strength, Senior Sister."

That's all for today.

The girl turned and left.

Yu Ling then went to the corner of the stone platform to pack her things.

"Senior brother."

He returned the robes and ritual implements to his fellow disciples below the stage.

"Junior Brother Yu, you did a good job."

The young man took out two medium-grade Ziyang coins and gave them to him.

"Thank you, senior brother."

Yu Ling did not linger. After carefully putting away the Ziyang coins and thanking them, she quickly left Jade Pool Mountain.

Having just experienced a fierce battle, Ling Gu is ready to unleash its power.

Soon, he found a secluded spot in the mountains and sat down.

"Now is the time; we must break through!"

On the tree, Yu Ling sat cross-legged, holding the Jade Marrow Pill in his hand. He secretly made a tough decision, tilted his head back, and swallowed the pill.

This is the wealth he has painstakingly accumulated; if he fails to make a breakthrough, it will all be wasted.

It was bought with nine high-grade Ziyang coins, which is equivalent to nine low-grade spirit stones!

He was very nervous.

He focused all his efforts on controlling the spiritual bones to absorb spiritual energy in order to break through his cultivation level.

This prompting made him realize where the bottleneck was.

He had actually felt this bottleneck six months ago and had been trying to overcome it, but he was unable to.

The Jade Marrow Pill works very quickly. Not long after swallowing it, I felt a mysterious power rising from my abdomen and merging into my spiritual bones.

The spiritual energy within the bone was stimulated, and its activity suddenly increased.

"It's starting to loosen up."

Yu Ling clearly sensed that his cultivation was beginning to weaken.

Just like a river dam, a small opening was chiseled open, and the water inside the dam began to flow out slowly.

This surprised and delighted him, and he worked even harder to achieve his goals.

With the help of the Jade Marrow Pill, the gap widened, and finally, the long-suppressed cultivation began to erupt.

"It's done!"

Yu Ling was overjoyed to feel that the bottleneck had been broken.

The weight that had been hanging over my heart has finally been lifted; the Jade Marrow Pill was not wasted.

He had long sensed the bottleneck, and once the opening was made, a breakthrough would be a natural outcome.

A large amount of spiritual energy surged into the body, transforming into immortal blood to temper the entire body.

The magical power in his dantian became even more concentrated.

An hour later, his body gradually calmed down.

Yu Ling slowly opened his eyes, sensing the changes at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and exclaimed with delight, "My magic power has increased fourfold! The mid-stage of Qi Refining is indeed quite different."

"Give it a try."

He came to the tree, and with a thought, the magical artifact floated out from his clothes, flew into his hand, and returned to its normal size.

Yu Ling swung his sword at the trees ten zhang away opposite him.

The chilling aura permeated the sword and was released as sword energy. The icy sword energy struck the tree trunk, and the cold chill instantly froze the trunk into a block of ice.

Yu Ling kicked a stone over.

The tree was immediately smashed through and fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces.

"good."

Yu Ling was very satisfied with its power.

With a thought, he put away the ritual implement.

"If only there were another spell."

Yu Ling sat on the tree root, pondering.

My biggest shortcoming right now is that I have too few skills. I only know one spell, so when I fight against formal disciples, I finally have a chance to defeat them, but they can easily break through my defensive spells and even use ranged attacks to pose a deadly threat from a distance.

He greatly admired the endless stream of methods employed by the formal disciples.

"Let's stabilize our cultivation level first."

Yu Ling climbed back up the tree, closed his eyes, and began to cultivate, thoroughly stabilizing his cultivation.

It took two days for his cultivation level to stabilize.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already late at night.

A cool mountain breeze blew by, ruffling her long hair.

The moonlight was beautiful tonight. Yu Ling lay back on a thick tree branch with her hands behind her head, looking at the moon in the sky.

Moonlight filtered through the leaves, dappling his body in scattered spots.

"Mother, Father, Grandpa, Little Cicada won't let you down."

He looked at the full moon in the sky and murmured to himself.

Now that you've embarked on the path of immortality, you must keep striving forward.

The path to immortality is vast, and he doesn't know how far he can go.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

The weight emerged from my hand, calling out softly in my palm.

"You little rascal."

Looking at it, Yu Ling smiled.

So I used my other hand to tease it.

It just wanted to come out and play for a while.

A moment later, Yu Ling leaned against the tree trunk, one foot dangling in mid-air, and held the two Ziyang coins in his hand, examining them as he said, "Now that I'm at the fifth level of Qi Refining, more people will be asking me to spar with them. I need to save up more money so that I'll have more resources after I leave the Ziyang Sect."

He knew that compared to the Ziyang Sect, the outside world was extremely dangerous, and one couldn't succeed without some foundation.

"Cultivation."

With nothing to do, Yu Ling continued to meditate.

The spirit bone remained silent. Although its reaction was weak and it produced very little immortal blood, it was still somewhat useful.

Upon reaching the mid-stage of Qi Refining, he clearly felt that breaking through his cultivation level was no longer so easy.

At dawn, the air is thick with the rising sun and the mountains and rivers are bathed in the warm glow of the morning sun.

Yu Ling traversed the misty mountains, searching for medicinal herbs.

After breaking through to the fifth level of Qi Refining, the monthly tasks became more demanding, requiring me to venture deeper into the realms, as the outer areas were no longer sufficient.

Of course, he also wanted to go deeper into the mountains to find some high-quality medicinal herbs for Jinliang to eat, so that it could eat as much as possible and grow stronger.

Now that I have cultivation, robes, and magical artifacts, I can deal with ordinary demonic beasts.

......

Five days later.

In an area where peaks rise like bamboo shoots, Yu Ling covered himself with wild grass to camouflage himself and carefully walked through it.

The weight lay dormant in his hand, serving as a warning against hidden dangers.

Unlike before, Yu Ling was now agile and moved with ease through the complex terrain of the mountain valleys.
