Mortal Transformation into Immortal

"The Black-tailed Sword Technique is really useful in this lush forest."

The crickets flitted through the forest.

He discovered that when he activated his cultivation technique, he felt as if he were becoming one with the forest.

The passage was completely silent.

Unlike in the sea, although he is now in the state of practicing the Black Needle Technique, he has concealed the Black Needle aura.

He moved silently through the forest like a black snake.

"The harvest was so-so."

Three hours later, he had searched the entire island.

I found four medicinal herbs that I found interesting, and fed them all to it.

Although there are many animals on the island, no trace of monsters has been found.

The medicinal herb they found was worth about half a low-grade spirit stone.

The harvest was so-so, probably because cultivators often visit this island.

It was already dark, and Yu Ling decided to spend the night on the island and explore other places the next morning.

Since I don't have a primordial spirit yet, my perception will be severely impaired at night.

Yu Ling climbed up a tree, sat down, ate a Five Grains Pill, and began to cultivate.

There are many caves on the island, but he dares not go in. If the monsters discover the caves and block the entrances, he will be trapped like a turtle in a jar.

Jinliang began to release spiritual energy, and Yuling activated the Black-Tail Technique to refine this spiritual energy.

The Milky Way spun in the sky, and a full moon shone on the sea, its reflection shimmering on the rippling waves.

One night passed.

"good."

At dawn, Yu Ling woke up from her cultivation. The spiritual power that Jin Liang had spat out had been completely refined, and her immortal blood had increased. Yu Ling even vaguely felt that her cultivation had improved a little.

With the help of weights and measures, the speed of cultivation progress is much faster than simply relying on absorbing spiritual energy.

Fortunately, we came to Wuduhai. If we had been searching for spiritual medicine in the mortal world of Luanzhou for half a month, it would not have been as good as this day.

"Let's go check out that island."

Yu Ling jumped down from the tree, went to the seaside, and urged his watercraft toward the distant island.

In places where there is no sea crossing, boats are an indispensable tool.

"The essence of the Yi Wood element in this spiritual herb is quite rich."

Not long after arriving on the island, Yu Ling discovered a strangely growing medicinal herb on a cliff.

It was emerald green, similar to orchid grass, and only the size of a palm. This herb didn't have much spiritual energy, but it was rich in the essence of the Yi wood element. He couldn't sense its weight, but he saw it after climbing up. With so many years of experience in collecting herbs, he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this "grass".

Upon closer inspection, he sensed a peculiar, cool aura.

This is the essence of Yi Wood.

"Jinliang, do you want some?" Yu Ling placed the jinliang aside.

After sniffing the weight, he walked away.

It has no interest in this kind of elixir; its body cannot refine this essence, and consuming it would be like taking poison.

"This kind of elixir must be more expensive than ordinary elixir."

Yu Ling began to carefully dig with his magic sword. This kind of spiritual herb has a very strong vitality. If it can be dug out intact and placed in a gray fur bag, it can still survive after a few months when it is taken out and planted.

This essence is one of the five elements, an essential element for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Upon reaching the Foundation Establishment realm, one must integrate the essence of the five elements into the five internal organs to achieve perfect harmony and establish a foundation for immortality.

The five elements and their essence are also divided into yin and yang. Male cultivators integrate yang essence, while female cultivators integrate yin essence.

This essence of Yi wood belongs to Yin wood.

The essence of Jia wood is Yang wood.

Similarly, the essence of Ding fire belongs to Yin fire, while the essence of Bing fire belongs to Yang fire.

After digging it out, Yu Ling carefully put it away.

After accumulating enough items over time, go to the cultivators' gathering place in the Crimson Rock Sea and sell them.

There were also a few ordinary medicinal herbs in the gray fur bag, but I didn't eat them.

Yu Ling continued her search in the mountains.

"boom!"

Around noon, while he was out in the woods, he suddenly heard the sounds of a fierce battle coming from the sea.

So he jumped to the treetop to observe the situation.

But the sea has returned to calm.

"Could it be that some cultivator is fighting a demonic beast in the sea?" he wondered.

"It should be over by now."

After a while, when there was still no movement, Yu Ling decided to continue with her own business.

"Whoosh!"

On the calm shore, something suddenly burst out of the sea and landed more than ten feet from the shore.

"It's him."

Yu Ling looked at the thing in surprise.

A water-powered boat rushed ashore and disappeared, revealing an old man in black clothes covered in blood inside.

Yu Ling recognized him; this was one of his companions.

The island wasn't very big, and the old man was only about a mile away, so he could see him very clearly.

"That was yesterday's ironfish."

Just as Yu Ling was wondering why he was in such a sorry state, he saw a huge figure emerge from the sea and raise its fleshy whiskers to attack.

Those fleshy tendrils usually only looked six zhang long, but after being activated by the demonic energy, they suddenly became much longer and thinner, each one piercing like a sharp arrow.

The old man quickly threw out a defensive talisman, blocked the attack, and then immediately retreated.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the monster could no longer attack him.

"It seems he was caught by the ironfish and trapped at the bottom of the sea, and only escaped now," Yu Ling thought to himself as he looked at him.

It must have been trapped at the bottom of the sea, otherwise the ironfish wouldn't have been able to chase it for so long.

"That monster is actually injured."

The ironfish lingered by the sea, looking quite unwilling to give up.

Yu Ling noticed that it was also covered in wounds, with large pieces of fish scales broken and fallen off.

"It seems that the old man has quite a few protective treasures on him," Yu Ling thought to herself, quite shocked.

That beast was a high-level demon beast. The injuries on its body were definitely not inflicted by the old man's magic. They were probably caused by protective treasures such as talismans. Moreover, having been trapped for so long, it probably also had something like an array plate for long-term defense.

"Finally, we've escaped. Thank you for the blessings of our ancestors and our immortal ancestors."

On the shore, the old man, having survived the ordeal, stared at the distant monster with lingering fear in his eyes.

He was unlucky; when everyone was fleeing together, they were spotted by the iron-bearded fish and eventually stopped in the sea, where they have been hiding in an underwater cave ever since.

They used every means possible, but thankfully managed to escape danger.

This time, the losses can be described as enormous.

"Let's go somewhere else."

Seeing the old man land on the island, Yu Ling decided not to stay any longer. It seemed the old man was going to heal his wounds on the island, and if he discovered her, she might have to eliminate the threat.

Of course, he wouldn't dare to mess with the old man. Regardless of the severity of his injuries, even if the old man threw out another talisman, he wouldn't be able to catch it.

He planned to leave quietly without contacting the old man.

A wounded person sees everyone as a threat.

"There are monsters here."

Yu Ling headed to the other side of the island. On the way, he suddenly saw something moving in the woods ahead.

It was a centipede that was three zhang long.

Extremely fast.

It headed towards the sea, clearly disturbed by the earlier fight.

Yu Ling stood still, and the centipede did not notice him, but swept past him about ten feet away.

"That was close."

Yu Ling felt a chill run down her spine. The direction this demonic beast came from was exactly the direction she had come from when she landed on the island. Fortunately, she had been using the Black-Tail Technique to conceal her presence.

"It should be a mid-level demon beast."

He watched the centipede disappear into the distance, a thought crossed his mind, and he didn't rush to leave the island.

Let's see how things go first.
