Mortal Transformation into Immortal

"Let me test your physical strength."

Song Yunkong walked over and extended his hand to shake his.

Of the four, he possessed the greatest physical strength, but even that was insufficient against the demonic beast.

Yu Ling stretched out her hand.

The two sparred fiercely for a while.

After some probing, Song Yunkong shook his head in disappointment and said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, your physical strength is indeed stronger than many Qi Refining Stage 7 cultivators, but it is far from enough to deal with that demonic beast."

He sensed that Yu Ling's physical strength was indeed quite good. Although it was not as good as his own, it was rare among those at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

Although the Black-Tail Technique enhances physical strength, it is only at the upper-level mortal stage, limiting its cultivation. Currently, its physical strength is still inferior to that of a Qi Refining Eighth Level cultivator.

Yu Ling asked, "What if I break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, or even higher?"

"In that case, he would indeed be stronger than me," Song Yunkong said.

"But can you break through?" Song Yunkong asked in a deep voice.

"As long as I have enough spiritual energy, I can break through." Yu Ling looked at the four people.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, do you want us to help you?" Everyone understood what he meant.

"That's right. As long as I can break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, my physical strength will be the strongest among everyone. I've already touched the threshold of the seventh level of Qi Refining, and I should be able to break through in at most half a year. Then, if we join forces, we'll have a much better chance of dealing with that demonic beast. Besides, I have insect energy, so the pig demon shouldn't be able to sense my cultivation. Fellow Daoists, what do you think?"

Yu Ling watched them quietly.

The four of them fell silent for a moment.

He's right. As long as he can break through, his physical strength will be the greatest, and he will be able to inflict the most damage on demonic beasts.

Yu Ling asked, "Does everyone have high-level magical artifacts?"

Everyone nodded; with their level of cultivation, they naturally possessed high-level magical artifacts.

Yu Ling continued, "Everyone is trapped here. If we don't deal with that monster, no one can get out. If I can break through to the seventh level of Qi Refining and wield a high-level magic weapon, using the insect energy to hide, I might be able to launch a sneak attack and, with the support of my physical strength, deliver a fatal blow to that monster."

Upon hearing this, the four men's expressions changed, realizing that Yu Ling was right. A close-range sneak attack, with powerful physical strength combined with the sharpest weapon, indeed had the best chance of success. Even if they couldn't kill the beast, they could still injure it.

Moreover, only Yu Ling had the opportunity to launch a sneak attack here.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, how many spirit stones do you need to break through?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Lu spoke first.

Yu Ling thought for a moment and said, "At least five hundred low-grade spirit stones."

After all, he was going to do the most dangerous work, so the more spirit stones he had, the better. He needed to improve his strength as much as possible, which would increase his chances of survival.

"You want this much?"

The four of them frowned immediately.

Zhou Xia said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, the four of us now have less than 150 low-grade spirit stones left."

"Only this much?" Yu Ling was somewhat skeptical.

The old woman said, "When we first entered this insect cave, we used a formation to defend against the pig demon's attacks, which consumed a lot of spirit stones."

"One hundred and fifty spirit stones."

Yu Ling's heart sank. Given the resource requirements of the Black-Tailed Technique, he was afraid that he could only reach the bottleneck, and the possibility of breaking through was slim.

He hasn't yet reached the bottleneck of the seventh level of Qi Refining.

This kind of technique for enhancing physical strength is extremely resource-intensive.

"Is there any miraculous medicine?" Yu Ling asked.

Lin Lu replied, "We do have some spiritual herbs. Could it be that Fellow Daoist Yu wishes to use them to enhance his cultivation?"

"good."

"Spiritual herbs are different from elixirs. Their effects are complex, and taking too much can be harmful to the body, making it harder to break through to the next level." Lin Lu was puzzled. Unless it is a special spiritual herb, most spiritual herbs cannot be directly used by cultivators unless they are refined into elixirs.

Yu Ling looked at his palm, and with a thought, the weight emerged from it.

"Spirit insects".

"What kind of spirit insect is this? Its spiritual energy is quite abundant."

Everyone stared at Yu Ling, puzzled, not understanding what she meant.

Yu Ling smiled and said, "This is my partner. It can consume spiritual herbs and then provide me with spiritual power to aid my cultivation."

"Fellow Daoist Yu's methods are truly unique; you can even subdue spirit insects and use them for your own purposes," Zhou Xia exclaimed in astonishment.

"We don't have many spirit stones left, but we still have quite a few spirit herbs. However, I also need to test your physical strength." Lin Lu stretched out her hand, wanting to test Yu Ling's strength as well.

"OK."

Yu Ling grasped her hand.

Don't let Lin Lu's delicate fingers fool you; she has quite a bit of strength, almost as strong as I do.

"Is the cultivation technique you practice also at the Yellow level?" Lin Lu asked.

"No, it's a high-grade mortal level, mainly for enhancing physical strength, and I've already mastered it to a minor level."

"Try cultivating first. If you really can't alarm that pig demon, I can give you my spiritual medicine and spirit stones." Lin Lu withdrew his hand.

"OK."

The five of them went up to a high place and saw that the pig demon was still in the swamp, so they signaled to Yu Ling to give it a try.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, could you please give me a spiritual herb first?"

His storage bag was empty, so he had no choice but to ask Lin Lu for a medicinal herb.

Lin Lu took out a medicinal herb and gave it to him.

He began to eat it, weighing a pound, and after finishing, he returned it to his hand, giving him the spiritual energy.

Yu Ling sat cross-legged on the ground and began to use the Black-Tail Technique to refine this spiritual power. His spiritual bones became active, absorbing the spiritual power to create immortal blood.

Seeing that he had begun cultivating, everyone stared intently at the pig demon.

Seeing that it really didn't sense anything, he breathed a sigh of relief, because Yu Ling's plan was based on the fact that the pig demon couldn't perceive it.

"how?"

Before long, the spiritual energy was completely refined, and Yu Ling opened her eyes and asked.

"Can."

"These are my elixirs and spirit stones."

As Lin Lu spoke, she took out her spiritual herbs and spirit stones, and with a gentle wave of her hand, numerous spiritual herbs and spirit stones appeared on the ground.

Several of them are of particularly good quality.

She took out twenty spirit stones, and of course, she kept some for emergencies.

Yu Ling looked at the other three, who were still hesitating.

Lin Lu said to them, "Fellow Daoists, do you want to continue waiting, or actively seek an opportunity? Do you really want to wait until the restriction weakens or the demon beast dies of old age?"

She was decisive, knowing full well that there was no better option.

Seeing that she agreed, the old woman spoke up: "This is indeed an opportunity, alright."

The remaining two glanced at it, and Zhou Xia nodded, saying, "Okay."

"Fellow Daoist Yu, this is mine."

The old woman took out some things.

The couple also took out all the spiritual medicines they had on them: "Fellow Daoist Yu, you mustn't let us down."

"Fellow Daoists, rest assured, I will do my utmost."

Looking at the spiritual herbs and stones in front of him, Yu Ling said solemnly.

There were about a hundred spirit stones, and the spirit herbs looked like a small pile of grass. Although the quality was ordinary, the quantity was large, and the value was no less than three hundred low-grade spirit stones.

After putting these away, Yu Ling asked, "Fellow Daoists, do you have any other talismans?"

We need to figure out everything that's still usable right now.

"There's also a high-level offensive talisman, but it won't pose much of a threat to the pig demon," Song Yunkong said.

When they first entered, they had no choice but to use several talismans to deal with the pig demon's attacks, but none of them caused any effective damage.
