Mortal Transformation into Immortal

"With these spiritual herbs, it's enough to allow one to break through in cultivation."

Now that he has mastered the Wushao Kung Fu, it can help him break through the bottleneck.

Even if the Black-Tailed Technique requires resources, it is still only a high-grade mortal technique. With so many spiritual herbs, it is more than enough to break through.

"Fellow Daoists, do you have any pills to heal my injuries? I was hit by a palm strike when those two were chasing me," Yu Ling asked again. To cultivate, he needed to control his injuries first, otherwise it would affect his breakthrough.

Some of these elixirs can heal injuries, but pills are more effective.

"Medicine pills."

The group looked at each other but remained silent.

These elixirs are useless if you keep them on you, so it's fine if you give them away. But the pills are useful to you. If you get injured in a battle with a demon beast, they can save your life.

If I die, even if I eventually kill the monster, what does it have to do with me?

"I have one here, take it."

A moment later, Lin Lu took out a blue pill and gave it to him.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin."

Yu Ling bowed and thanked him.

I took the pill; it was cool to the touch and had a pleasant fragrance.

"Fellow Daoists, I still have a favor to ask of you." Yu Ling still had one matter to resolve.

"Please speak, Fellow Daoist Yu." Everyone frowned, wondering if he was going to ask for resources again.

Yu Ling said, "I would like to trouble you fellow Daoists to help me catch some of the centipedes inside. Although I am a pseudo-spiritual root of a spirit insect, I am still a cultivator. These insect energies cannot be condensed in my body for a long time, and I have to absorb insect energy from time to time."

He is currently relying entirely on insect energy to conceal himself. If the insect energy is weak, he will be detected by the pig demon while in cultivation.

"Yu You, just focus on breaking through your cultivation level. Leave the centipede matter to us."

Everyone agreed. Compared to providing resources, this was just a trivial matter; there were plenty of centipedes and venomous insects in the insect burrows.

"Then I'll have to trouble you fellow Daoists."

Yu Ling cupped his hands in greeting, then sat cross-legged on the ground and put the pill into his mouth.

He then swallowed it.

The medicine quickly spread throughout the body, and a cool sensation surged through it.

The injuries were treated and began to heal.

Yu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. If she didn't recover now, and it dragged on for longer, it would become a chronic, hidden injury, which would be even more difficult to heal.

The four sat cross-legged on the ground, absorbing the sparse spiritual energy around them. This was not cultivation, but rather a way to restore their magical power.

The group took turns using their magic to activate the array plate, just like Yu Ling and his team came to this Red Rock Sea.

They only use spirit stones to activate the array plate when necessary.

"It's finally recovered."

Ten days later, Yu Ling opened her eyes.

I was quite surprised.

The pills Lin Lu gave him were very effective; in just ten days, his injuries were completely healed.

However, after not eating centipedes for ten days, the insect energy in my body has become less abundant.

"Fellow Daoist, have you recovered?"

Seeing him open his eyes, Song Yunkong asked.

"I've fully recovered," Yu Ling nodded, adding, "but I'll need some centipedes."

"Give."

Lin Lu tossed him a ceramic jar filled with centipedes.

Yu Ling grabbed one and then bit off the centipede's head.

This scene made the group of people frown.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, is this how you replenish your insect energy?" Song Yunkong exclaimed in shock. He had thought it was like absorbing spiritual energy, but he hadn't expected it to be done in such a primitive way.

"I am not a demon cultivator, so this is the only method I can use," Yu Ling said.

"admire."

Song Yunkong cupped his hands in greeting to him.

They can't do it. Even if they dare to eat insects, the insect energy they absorb will be repelled by the immortal blood.

After Yu Ling ate some centipedes, his insect energy returned, so he called Jin Liang to come and take the elixir.

He also began to cultivate.

The other four took turns activating the array plate.

When the pig demon got hungry, it would come out of the swamp to forage for food. After it was full, it would go back. With the array plate separating it from the outside and the insect energy covering it, it did not discover that there were cultivators secretly cultivating inside.

It had no intelligence and had been locked up in this insect cave, so it didn't know what humans were and only thought they were some delicious big insects.

Within the array, as time passed, more and more spiritual energy was absorbed and refined by the spiritual bones, and Yu Ling's cultivation level gradually increased. Two months later, he finally reached a bottleneck.

So he began to gather his strength, aiming to break through to a higher realm.

With the help of the Wushao Gong (a type of exercise), this bottleneck gradually loosened.

Another month passed.

"Fellow Daoists, I am about to break through."

Yu Ling sensed that the bottleneck had shattered and a breakthrough was imminent, so she began to offer reminders.

"So fast!"

Everyone was surprised; it had only been three months, and he was about to break through.

Yu Ling herself was also surprised, as it was much faster than expected.

Compared to cultivating on Lingxu Island, the process here is much smoother. In this environment, his spiritual bones are exceptionally active, and the speed at which he refines spiritual energy is further enhanced.

"Fellow Daoist, break through with confidence."

Lin Lu took out a few spirit stones and put them into the array plate.

With the support of spirit stones, the formation became even more powerful.

Yu Ling began his breakthrough, and after a month of preparation, the bottleneck was broken through in an instant.

His cultivation level also reached the seventh level of Qi Refining at this moment.

At the moment of breakthrough, the body's demand for spiritual power increased greatly. Yu Ling took out the spirit stones, and in an instant, the spirit stones shattered one by one, and pure spiritual power surged into the body.

The spiritual bone shone brightly, and like a spring, streams of black-tipped blood gushed out from it.

The four men wore extremely solemn expressions, their eyes fixed on the boar demon in the swamp. If they were discovered, they would activate the formation to block it.

Fortunately, the insect aura was strong enough, and there was an array to isolate it, so the pig demon did not react.

Yu Ling's commotion gradually subsided, and it finally returned to calm after absorbing the spiritual power of more than a hundred spirit stones.

After sitting cross-legged for more than ten days, his Qi Refining Stage 7 was completely stabilized, and his spiritual bones also digested all the spiritual energy they had absorbed.

"There are still so many elixirs left to use."

Yu Ling opened her eyes and looked at the storage. Only half of the spiritual herbs had been used; there were still quite a few left.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, how has your physical strength changed?"

After he finished his cultivation, all four of them turned their attention to him.

After sensing the changes, Yu Ling smiled and said, "It has increased by almost two times."

"That's great."

Everyone was overjoyed. With such a dramatic change, the spiritual herbs and stones they had spent were truly worthwhile.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, let me try again."

Song Yunkong came up to test him, to see if he had really improved that much.

"OK!"

The two held hands.

Let's work together.

"Um?"

Upon this probing, Song Yunkong's eyes lit up with surprise; Yu Ling's physical strength was indeed much greater than his own.

"How is it?" Yu Ling asked with a smile.

With the increase in black shavings blood in his body, in addition to the increase in physical strength, the defensive power of his spiritual runes has also been greatly improved.

Of course, he did not reveal the defensive capabilities of the Black-Shouldered Technique to these people.

"Not bad, as expected of someone who has cultivated a technique. At the seventh level of Qi Refining, your physical strength is so much stronger than mine," Song Yunkong said enviously.

The others tried as well, but none of them were as good as him.

"Should we take action now?" the old woman asked.

Yu Ling shook his head and said, "No rush. It's not too late to act after I've absorbed all those spiritual herbs."

There are still some medicinal herbs left in the storage bag, so there's no need to rush into action.
