Mortal Transformation into Immortal

He stared for a long time before standing up.

She said to them, "Mother, Father, Grandfather, Little Cicada is gone, but I will live on."

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the grave.

He then turned and left.

As he passed through Yujia Village, people watched him from afar and whispered among themselves.

Yu Ling ignored them, went to the village entrance, and mounted his horse.

Looking ahead, he murmured, "Let's go to the Boundless Sea to cultivate. The spiritual energy there is much richer than in these places. Even if I make a living by gathering herbs, the chances of finding spiritual herbs are much greater than in these places."

The place he is currently in is called Luanzhou, a place with scarce spiritual energy. It is difficult to make progress in cultivation in such places.

Yu Ling planned to go to Wudu Sea, where the spiritual energy was more abundant and there were more opportunities. Most of the disciples of Ziyang Sect went to Wudu Sea for training.

Moreover, there is a celestial sect called Penglai Sect located there.

"Wudu Sea is more than 100,000 miles away from here. If we walk there, it would take forever. We could go to Bailu Prefecture instead. There are more cultivators there than in Luan Prefecture. There are several immortal sects like Ziyang Sect. There must be a place where we can take a flying boat."

With worldly affairs settled, it's time for my own cultivation.

Yu Ling had decided where to go next: Wudu Sea.

However, to get to Wuduhai, you must first go to Bailuzhou. Otherwise, the mountains are high and the roads are long, and you can't fly, so how long would it take to get there?

Yu Ling took out a map from his person and examined it, discovering that Bailuzhou was tens of thousands of miles away from where he was.

If you were to travel by horseback, it would take at least three months.

"Let's ride horses to Bailuzhou. Along the way, we can visit various towns in the mortal realm. If we can find something, that would be great, as it can solve the problem of the flying boat's cost."

Yu Ling put the map away, raised his long whip, and headed towards Bailuzhou.

The boy's figure gradually receded into the distance, disappearing little by little at the end of the road.

......

Grain in Ear (芒种).

It was raining heavily.

Yu Ling wore a bamboo hat and a raincoat, and carried a long sword on his back. He rode his horse slowly along the muddy path.

He bought the longsword for a few taels of silver and dressed himself up as a wandering swordsman.

"We've finally arrived."

After passing through a canyon, a town hidden in the mountains comes into view.

"I wonder if I've made any gains in this town."

He muttered to himself as he rode his horse toward the town.

He had been away from his hometown for over a month, during which time he had been traveling between various ordinary towns, and with his ability to judge by weight, he had actually made some discoveries.

Over the past month, he actually discovered several medicinal herbs, mainly obtained from various ordinary medicine merchants.

The quantity is too small.

Judging from the amount, it was worth about half a low-grade spirit stone. This harvest was far from enough to support his daily cultivation needs.

This proves that in a place like Luanzhou, where spiritual energy is not abundant, it is difficult to make a living by scavenging for bargains.

Upon entering the town, there weren't many people around due to the weather.

Yu Ling walked along the street, paying attention to the reaction of the weight.

"Got it."

Yu Ling's eyes lit up with joy, and he followed his senses to find the source.

It's a pharmacy in the town.

Yu Ling stopped his horse in front of the pharmacy.

Upon seeing that it was a chivalrous swordsman on horseback, the elderly doctor and shopkeeper inside immediately came out to greet him and politely asked, "Young hero, are you here to see a doctor or to buy medicine?"

You have to be extremely careful when dealing with this kind of customer.

"Buy medicine."

Yu Ling dismounted and went into the shop.

"Young hero, do you have a prescription?" the old man asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry about it, I'll get the medicine myself."

Yu Ling looked around the shop.

"So, young hero, you also know medicine," the old man said with a smile.

Yu Ling didn't reply to him, but looked inside. There were many medicinal herbs tied up in burlap sacks in the pharmacy.

"And there's more than one."

He was somewhat surprised and followed his senses to search for it.

He was even more surprised to find that all the medicinal herbs were in a bag.

So he opened the bag and reached inside.

The old man stood to the side, not knowing what was going on, and dared not ask.

Soon, Yu Ling pulled out a handful of medicinal herbs.

"There are three of them, and they are all Purple Gold Bull."

He was quite surprised. In the previous towns, he had harvested one plant at a time, but this time he got three plants in one bag, and they were all the same kind of medicinal herb.

I felt that this was very abnormal.

These three medicinal herbs were all transformed from ordinary herbs.

"Could it be..."

A bold idea popped into his mind: if these three Purple Gold Oxen were picked from the same place, then there must be something wrong with that place, as it could cause these three ordinary herbs to undergo a transformation.

"Old sir, you have a lot of medicinal herbs here," he said.

The old man replied, "Young hero, these were all brought to me by villagers from the surrounding area when they went to the market. I sorted them out so I could sell them to wealthy families."

The chances of an ordinary person giving birth to an offspring with extraordinary talent are very small. Some wealthy families would have their children practice martial arts, which required a large amount of medicinal herbs for medicinal baths.

"This bag of purple golden cows is nice. When did you acquire it?" Yu Ling asked.

The old man looked troubled. "Young hero, I can't tell the difference."

"Think carefully, has anyone sold Purple Bull here in the last two weeks?"

Yu Ling said in a low voice.

These three medicinal herbs were all dried, but their spiritual essence was not greatly lost. Based on this, it can be inferred that they were harvested no more than half a month ago.

However, if he had arrived two months later, the spiritual energy would have been severely depleted, and he probably wouldn't have been able to sense its weight.

"Half a month."

The old man thought about it carefully, and then said, "Wang the Cripple from Maoping Village came here to sell this kind of medicinal herb ten days ago."

"If I remember correctly?" Yu Ling asked indifferently.

"If I remember correctly, he's a herb gatherer; he brings herbs to sell almost every time he goes to the market," the old man said with certainty.

"This is for the medicine."

Yu Ling tossed him a small piece of silver the size of a thumb, then left.

"Young hero, that's too much, ten copper coins will do."

The old man was startled by the large sum of money.

Yu Ling ignored him and rode away.

"That's strange."

He was very puzzled by Yu Ling's various behaviors.

Maoping Village.

On the street, Yu Ling looked at the elixir in her hand and murmured to herself.

If you remember, that's fine; you can just go to the village and search there, which will save you a lot of trouble. If you don't remember, you'll have to search the surrounding mountains little by little, using the town as the center.

The fact that three medicinal herbs were harvested at the same time, and that they happened to be the same type, suggests that there must be something wrong with the place where these herbs were growing.

"Squeak..."

The cat popped out, wanting to eat.

The harvest was pretty good today, so I gave it one.

He put the rest into the gray fur pouch.

These medicinal herbs have grown for many years and possess high-quality spiritual essence.

They don't even bother to sense the weight of spirits of low quality.

After putting away the medicinal herbs, Yu Ling found out the location of the village and went there in the rain.
