Mortal Transformation into Immortal

"Let's cultivate here on Lingxu Island."

With so many spiritual herbs on him, Yu Ling planned to cultivate on this island.

This is probably the safest place in the entire Red Rock Sea area.

So they went into an inn.

"Fellow Daoist, are you looking for a place to stay?" a young man asked as he stepped forward.

Yu Ling nodded and asked, "Fellow Daoist, how much is the cheapest room in spirit stones per month?"

"One low-grade spirit stone per month."

"Let's choose this one."

Yu Ling can accept this price.

"Fellow Daoist, the spiritual energy in this room is not very strong, so it's not very suitable for cultivation," the young man reminded him.

Such rooms are for those minor cultivators at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining.

"It's alright."

"Alright, fellow Daoist, please follow me."

After taking a token from the counter, the young man led Yu Ling upstairs.

Finally, the two arrived at the outside of a small room.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the place."

The young man affixed the token, the restriction on the door surface disappeared, and the door opened naturally.

It was only about ten feet wide inside, and the furnishings were simple.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist."

Yu Ling cupped his hands in greeting and went inside.

The young man led the person to the back and then left.

Yu Ling closed the door, sat cross-legged on the ground, and crawled around on the floor, pulling the weight out of his palm.

Yu Ling smiled and took out a spiritual herb from her storage bag.

Jinliang immediately ran over, sniffed it first, and then began to wolf down the food.

After you finish eating and refining it, share the spiritual power with him.

The spiritual energy provided by the weight is of higher quality than that from the spirit stones, and it is also easier for the spirit bones to absorb and refine it.

Yu Ling calmed his mind, activated the Black-Tailed Skill, and began to cultivate.

Jinliang continued to consume the spiritual medicine to aid his cultivation, and the two of them remained secluded inside.

They wouldn't leave until all the spiritual herbs were converted into strength.

When it gets hungry, Yu Ling eats Five Grain Elixir.

Because the quality of the spiritual medicine was neither too high nor too low, it could be refined very quickly, providing a continuous supply of spiritual energy without delaying Yu Ling's cultivation time.

......

one year later.

"It seems I won't be able to break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining."

Inside the room, Yu Ling opened her eyes with regret. All the spiritual herbs had been used up, yet she hadn't even touched the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

To achieve a breakthrough, we'll need some resources.

"This Black-Tail Technique is a bottomless pit."

He sighed, "After using so many spiritual herbs, I still haven't reached the threshold of a breakthrough."

This is how a superior-grade mortal-level cultivation technique is made? He couldn't imagine how many resources those who cultivate yellow-grade techniques would need.

"Although there has been no breakthrough, the technique has been mastered to a minor degree."

Yu Ling examined her hands; the spiritual patterns on them had become much deeper, no longer just a shallow layer as before.

In one year, he successfully cultivated this technique to a minor level of mastery.

He clenched his fist, exuding a powerful aura.

During that year, the amount of black stalk blood in his body almost doubled, and his physical strength increased greatly.

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

The weight was called out on the table next to it.

It gained many benefits from so many medicinal herbs.

Now it is much stronger and full of energy.

"We should go out now."

Yu Ling reached his hand to the table, and the weight obediently came into his hand, transforming into spiritual power that merged into his flesh and blood.

Time to go find resources again.

Yu Ling checked out of the room.

"Fellow Daoist, what kind of pills do you need to purchase?"

In a shop selling elixirs, a woman asked him a question.

"The Rejuvenation Pill," Yu Ling said.

It's best to have one of these pills that quickly restore mana.

"Did you take it yourself, fellow Daoist?" the woman asked.

"Not bad." Yu Ling nodded.

"May I ask what your cultivation level is, fellow Daoist?"

"Sixth level of Qi Refining," Yu Ling replied. One shouldn't take the Rejuvenation Pill indiscriminately; a body of too high a quality cannot contain that much magical power and will explode and die.

"This Rejuvenation Pill is suitable for you, fellow Daoist."

The woman brought him a Rejuvenation Pill.

"How many spirit stones?"

"Ten low-grade spirit stones."

Yu Ling paid the money and left.

This Rejuvenation Pill wasn't as good as the one he sold before, and of course, his cultivation level wasn't as high as that old man's.

After buying the Rejuvenation Pill, he only had a dozen or so low-grade spirit stones left for emergencies.

Yu Ling walked out of the market.

"Pointer symbol".

At the beach, he took out the talisman that he couldn't sell.

"The old man kept this talisman because he must still need it to guide him. Where does he want to go?"

Yu Ling had a vague feeling that there was a secret involved.

But the old man is dead, and even if there were secrets, no one knows them anymore.

Yu Ling put away the talisman, took out the water-traveling boat, and entered the sea.

......

Five days later.

On an island, Yu Ling carefully searched through the forest.

"not good."

Suddenly, Jinliang sensed the danger and began to warn them.

Yu Ling remained highly vigilant; as soon as Jin Liang reminded him, he quickly jumped to the side.

Sure enough, the next moment, something covered in sharp teeth emerged from under their feet, and it was two zhang long.

It was an earthworm with a tender red body.

"It's this kind of thing."

Yu Ling looked on in surprise, for the appearance of this monster was exactly the same as the earthworm technique used by the Ziyang Sect disciple earlier.

It's a demonic worm.

Seeing that he had dodged, the worm continued its attack.

Yu Ling quickly jumped to another spot.

"Frosty Nether Force!"

He unleashed a powerful palm strike at the demonic worm from a distance, the chilling aura striking the beast.

However, it only leaves a layer of ice on the surface of the demon worm, and the ice can be easily shaken off.

It wasn't damaged in the slightest.

The worm burrowed directly into the soil and disappeared.

"A mid-level first-tier demonic beast."

Yu Ling jumped onto a tree branch and observed the ground. In the brief exchange just now, he sensed that the monster's strength was not very strong.

"Unfortunately, the Cold Nether Force didn't harm it."

Looking at the shattered ice on the ground, he was somewhat disappointed with the power of the Cold Nether Force.

That's normal. The Cold Nether Force is only a low-grade mortal-level spell. Its power was decent when you were at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining, but now, its power can't keep up with your cultivation level.

He felt that the blow to the demon worm was like a tickle.

"Still around."

Yu Ling stared at the ground. He couldn't sense where the demon worm was, but Jin Liang could. It kept sending out dangerous signals, indicating that the demon worm was watching him.

"I'll have to use my fists."

Yu Ling jumped down from the tree, and spirit patterns resembling snake scales appeared on her body.

Calm down and carefully sense it.

"Over there."

Yu Ling glanced out of the corner of her eye at the base of the large tree on her left.

He noticed that the demon worm had moved there, and it kept changing positions, looking for an opportunity to attack.

The underground fluctuations are very similar to the earthworm technique.

"They're out."

Ten breaths later, Yu Ling sensed that the demon worm had launched an attack and was about to break out of the ground.

He didn't rush to hide, but waited.

Just as the worm was about to rush out, he took a step back, and the worm rushed out in front of him and bit him.

Yu Ling quickly kicked out.

The heavy blow landed beneath that gaping maw, so powerful that it kicked the entire worm out of the soil and tossed it high into the air.

The worm screamed in agony as its skin tore open and its flesh was torn apart.

Yu Ling didn't give it a chance to bury itself. After landing, it punched the bird hard on the head from bottom to top.

The worm raised its head high.

Then a sword was plunged into the wound.

When the demon worm landed again, its head had already separated from its body, and a demon crystal rolled out of the wound.

This is just an ordinary mid-level demon beast; it's not very strong, but it's good at hiding its strength.

"If only there were a powerful spell."

Yu Ling sighed softly, "It's better to attack from a distance; it's safer. Close combat is only a last resort."
