Mortal Transformation into Immortal

Before we knew it, half a month had passed.

early morning.

The first ray of sunlight leaped over the hillside.

Yu Ling sat cross-legged on the large blue stone beside the courtyard, bathed in the soft morning light.

Yu Ling's breathing was even, and her clothes and hair moved with the wind.

With his eyes closed, he felt as if he were walking along a field ridge on a summer night.

Gradually, glowing "fireflies" began to fly out of the grass, and more and more of them appeared.

"Is this spiritual energy?"

Yu Ling was filled with doubt.

do not care.

Yu Ling calmed himself down, feeling his bones getting hotter and hotter, especially his spine.

As if guided, the fireflies swirling around him flew toward him one by one.

After absorbing spiritual energy, the bones hidden beneath the flesh began to glow with a faint light, and strands of blood containing spiritual power were born in the bones and flowed into the blood.

Its entire body, like fledglings in a nest, scrambled to swallow the spiritual power within the immortal blood.

The flesh and blood then transformed, and a mysterious power was unleashed from the body, converging towards the dantian.

Yu Ling felt warm and comfortable all over her body.

This continued for an hour, and then the strangeness gradually subsided.

Yu Ling then opened her eyes.

Feeling the substance in his dantian, his eyes trembled with excitement: "That's right, magic power... it's magic power! I've finally become an immortal! I've finally become an immortal!"

Magical power is the essence, energy, and spirit of a person, and it can be controlled at will. If one possesses magical power, then one is an immortal, that's for sure.

The long-cherished wish of three generations has finally been fulfilled in my own life today!

In an instant, the emotions that had been suppressed in my heart burst out uncontrollably.

Yu Ling cupped her face in her hands and wept with joy.

"Father, Mother, Little Cicada has finally become an immortal."

He lay on his back on the rock, looking at the sky, grinning foolishly, laughing happily.

It took him a while to recover.

"I'm so lucky, I've sensed spiritual energy in just half a month." Yu Ling herself found it unbelievable that she had stepped onto the path of immortality so quickly.

He thought it would take at least a year and a half.

"Could it be that I don't have a low-grade mortal spirit bone?" the child wondered to himself, doubting the elder's deduction. Naturally, he hoped that his innate talent would be as high as possible.

How could a low-grade mortal spirit bone sense spiritual energy so quickly?

Although he didn't understand cultivation very well, he knew that being able to sense spiritual energy and enter the Qi Refining Realm in just half a month was rare among the miscellaneous disciples.

But that's not important; they're all just menial disciples.

"Gurgle, gurgle." My stomach started growling at an inopportune moment.

It's so early in the morning, and I haven't eaten anything yet.

Yu Ling poured out a five-grain pill from the small bottle; it was greenish-blue and emitted a cool fragrance.

Having successfully embarked on the path to immortality, Yu Ling had no more worries. He swallowed the pill, and from now on, he would no longer have to eat insects and could live a normal life.

The pill was very effective. Shortly after swallowing it, I felt a cool sensation spreading in my stomach, and my hunger disappeared.

The Five Grains Elixir is a condensation of the essence of grains and water, which can be completely absorbed by the body.

If you eat this kind of thing, you won't need to go to the toilet anymore.

"That's really strange."

Yu Ling experienced the wonder of the elixir.

"Try the Cold Nether Force."

After resting for a while, Yu Ling's magical power in his dantian recovered. He thought of that immortal technique and began practicing it in the courtyard.

The Frostbite Force is an ice-attribute spell. Once mastered, it can condense ice within the fist's force. A single punch to a wild beast can freeze the affected area. With higher cultivation levels, it can even be used to strike from a distance, turning opponents into ice sculptures before they even get close.

"Someone's coming."

Not long after, he saw a female disciple dressed in red flying towards him.

"You were the one who broke through to the Qi Refining Realm just now, weren't you?"

The woman looked down at him and asked.

"Replying to Senior Sister, it was I who broke through." Yu Ling quickly bowed.

The woman's footsteps touched the ground as she said, "Now that we've reached the first level of Qi Refining, it's time to do some quests."

Yu Ling had a servant's token, which is why the disciples on Jingzhe Peak knew that he had just broken through and came to assign him a task.

"Yes, ma'am."

"Your task is to take care of the cranes in the sect. Any objections?"

The woman's voice was indifferent, as if she were talking to a stone.

She was a formal disciple of high status and would never normally come to see these menial servants on the periphery of the sect.

In her eyes, Yu Ling, a mediocre servant, was no different from an ordinary person.

"Senior sister, I want to do the herb gathering quest."

Yu Ling said respectfully.

"Um?"

The woman had a strange look in her eyes. Although taking care of the cranes was a hard job, gathering herbs was even more arduous. The other disciples tried every means to avoid it, but unexpectedly, someone volunteered to go.

"OK."

The woman then waved her hand, and a bamboo basket appeared out of thin air, landing in Yu Ling's hands.

Yu Ling looked inside and saw another jade slip.

"After collecting the medicinal herbs, take them to Jingzhe Peak. If you fail to meet the monthly quota, you will be punished. Of course, if you exceed the quota, you will also receive a reward."

"I will complete the task," Yu Ling replied, holding the bamboo basket.

The woman continued, "Although some spiritual herbs in the mountains are beneficial to cultivation, they can damage one's foundation. Many menial disciples ruin themselves by consuming them in this way. The effects of spiritual herbs are complex and disordered, and consuming them indiscriminately can easily cause health problems."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior sister."

Yu Ling thanked him respectfully.

"This month is already halfway over, so let's skip it. Starting next month, we'll focus on stabilizing our cultivation level and mastering our spells as soon as possible," the woman said.

"Okay, senior sister."

"By the way, Senior Sister, what do spiritual herbs look like? I...I've never seen them before." Yu Ling looked troubled.

"Most spiritual herbs don't look much different from ordinary medicinal herbs. They usually grow better and are greener. Of course, the most obvious characteristic is that they contain spiritual essence, which can only be sensed when you get close. There is a jade slip in the bamboo basket with relevant information. Take a look carefully."

"This bamboo basket is woven from Emerald Cloud Bamboo. It can prevent the spiritual essence of the medicinal herbs from dissipating, so it is quite precious. Remember not to damage it," the female disciple specifically instructed.

"I will protect it."

"Good luck." Having said what she needed to say, the woman turned and flew into the sky.

"Respectfully seeing off Senior Sister."

Yu Ling bowed to her departing figure.

Only after he had disappeared into the distance did he begin to examine the bamboo basket in his hand more closely.

The bamboo basket is not big, it's like a small bucket, and if you look closely, you can see a special luster flowing on its surface.

Yu Ling took out the jade slip and placed it between her eyebrows.

It's all information about how to identify elixirs.

"I need to get a weapon for self-defense."

Yu Ling returned to the house.

His eyes swept over the knives inside, finally settling on a machete.

This is the most suitable one.

The knife had been unused for a long time, and the blade was covered in rust.

So he took his machete and went to sharpen it on a stone outside the house.

Sharpen it as much as possible.

After preparing the self-defense items, Yu Ling began practicing the Cold Nether Force in the courtyard.

Now that I have magical powers, I must quickly master this self-defense technique.

There are ten days left in this month. In ten days, I will have to go out to collect herbs.
