Mortal Transformation into Immortal

"Fellow Daoists, do you really have no more spiritual medicines on you?" Yu Ling asked, looking at the group.

Although his physical strength had greatly increased, it was still no match for that pig demon.

We must make the most of the resources available to each of them to maximize our physical strength.

"I also have a Crimson Coral here, Fellow Daoist Yu, please take it." Lin Lu was the first to speak up, taking out a red coral the size of a head.

The spiritual energy within is astonishing.

This is the treasure she found at the bottom of the sea.

"Fellow Daoist's cultivation technique is remarkable. I hope my Azure Spirit Ginseng can be of some help." The old woman also took out something.

The changes in Yu Ling's physical strength gave them real hope of killing the demonic beast.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, I originally intended to use these two Jade Fruits to heal my injuries, but I'll use them to help you as well."

The couple took out two spiritual fruits.

The main function of this jade fruit is to help people heal injuries. It has a single medicinal effect and can be eaten without being refined into elixirs.

"Thank you, fellow Daoists."

Yu Ling cupped his hands in thanks. These spiritual herbs were worth about three hundred spirit stones, and with the rest in his storage bag, they could at least increase his physical strength by another third.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, it's all up to you now."

Everyone had staked their entire fortune on him.

They have no choice now.

Spells do little damage to the pig demon; only close-range attacks, using powerful physical strength and sharp magical weapons, can potentially inflict serious harm.

Only Yu Ling could do these things.

After a brief chat, Yu Ling continued her cultivation.

He also wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so he didn't stop for a moment.

Jinliang began to consume the spiritual medicine, and Yuling quickly entered a state of cultivation.

The crowd's expressions were no longer so pessimistic, because they knew that this matter might actually succeed, and it wouldn't be long before they could leave this place.

None of them wanted to be trapped here like this.

The insect cave was quiet. As always, the pig demon would go out to forage for food when it got hungry.

......

"boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, a loud rumbling sound came from the silent insect cave, and everyone immediately looked over.

Yu Ling also awoke from her cultivation.

"Someone else has come in."

They saw a figure scurrying about at the entrance.

There were three bodies on the ground.

This was a group of independent cultivators who came to Five Insect Island in search of opportunities, and three of them have already been killed by the pig demon.

Their strength was not great; they were cultivators at the intermediate stage of Qi Refining, and they couldn't even withstand a single attack from the pig demon.

The last remaining person ran through the insect cave, but no one could outrun the pig demon, and was caught up in no time.

"A talisman!"

Seeing the pig demon descend from the sky and land in front of her, the woman hurriedly took out a talisman to attack, but it was just an ordinary talisman and did no harm.

He then frantically cast spells, but they had no effect on the pig demon.

"what!"

With a scream, the man was grabbed by the waist by the pig demon.

The pig demon opened its enormous, foul-smelling mouth, and the woman screamed in terror before being stuffed into its mouth, starting from her head.

Fresh blood flowed from between his teeth.

The pig demon's eyes blazed with red light. The bodies of cultivators were far more delicious than poisonous insects. It then transformed into pig form and went back to devour the other corpses.

Seeing the miserable state of these newly arrived cultivators, a layer of gloom settled over the group.

"Several more have died."

Song Yunkong sighed.

"This demonic beast's senses are too strong." The old woman looked at Yu Ling and said, "Fortunately, Fellow Daoist Yu has a pseudo-spiritual bone, which gives him the ability to evade this demonic beast's senses."

This was just a minor incident, and the group continued their preparations.

With so many people coming to Wuchong Island, there will always be some unlucky ones who end up in these places.

Because these medicinal herbs are of very high quality, refining them by weight is difficult, and the speed at which they provide spiritual energy is not as fast as before.

But Yu Ling wasn't in a hurry, and the others were patient as well.

Everyone knows that success or failure hinges on this one move, and everyone only has this one chance. Naturally, they hope that Yu Ling is as strong as possible, as this would increase the chances of success.

A year has passed.

"I've finished absorbing it." After the last bit of spiritual energy was refined, Yu Ling finally ended her cultivation.

The reason it takes so long is mainly because the spiritual energy provided by the jinliang is slow.

Despite consuming so many elixirs, most of them went to Yu Ling, and it barely grew any taller itself.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, is that enough?"

Lin Lu asked.

"It's done, but you still need to eat some more centipedes."

Besides pushing power to its limit, so too does the insect energy.

A few days later, everything was ready, and the group began to discuss their plans.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, this is my weapon. You can use it." Lin Lu handed her magic sword to Yu Ling. Among everyone, her weapon was of the highest quality and the sharpest, making it perfect for Yu Ling.

If we can really cripple the monster in one blow, things will be much easier afterwards.

Yu Ling took it and gently ran her hand over the blade.

It is indeed extremely sharp.

The old woman said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, after you succeed in your sneak attack, Fellow Daoist Lin will take back the magic weapon. You can use mine then."

In her hand was a long sword, which, although also a high-grade magical artifact, was of inferior quality to Lin Lu's magical artifact.

"OK."

Yu Ling nodded.

Lin Lu is the strongest, but he needs to use his magical artifact to unleash his full power.

Lin Lu said, "Fellow Daoist Yu, you take your weapons and go out first. We'll deliberately expose our presence to lure the pig demon over, use an array to wear it down, and then you can attack it on its way back. Once we succeed, we'll come out immediately to help you slay the demon."

"I need that high-level talisman," Yu Ling said.

Even if he succeeds, the pig demon will retaliate unless it dies on the spot. He needs a talisman for self-defense. Even if the talisman cannot harm it, it can buy him time to escape.

Lin Lu looked at Zhou Xia; the talisman belonged to Zhou Xia.

"OK."

Zhou Xia nodded and handed the talisman to Yu Ling, "Fellow Daoist Yu, when you need to use it, just infuse it with magic power and then throw it at that pig demon."

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Yu Ling accepted the talisman and bowed in thanks.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Lu also took out a talisman and said to him, "Fellow Daoist Yu, this is a concealment talisman. Keep it with you and use it when you are in an ambush."

She had to make sure everything went perfectly.

"Um."

Yu Ling accepted the talisman; with its help, he would be less likely to be exposed.

"I still have twelve low-grade spirit stones here." Yu Ling took out some of the remaining spirit stones he had on him.

The more spirit stones there are, the longer the formation can last, which will further deplete the pig demon's stamina.

Lin Lu accepted the spirit stone.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, you must remain calm and wait for the right moment to strike. This pig demon's head and chest are the strongest defensive areas, making it difficult to inflict a fatal wound. Focus your attack on its abdomen; just make sure you severely injure it, and then we'll slowly wear it down," Lin Lu said.

"Fellow Daoist Lin is right. As long as we can severely injure it, we can wear it down to death," the old woman said.

Yu Ling nodded.

The pig demon's skull is the thickest, making it difficult to succeed. If the sneak attack fails, one will have to face its wrath alone.

There is only one chance. If the sneak attack fails, it will feel a fatal threat and it will be difficult to succeed again.
