Cultivation: I Forge Immortality with My Spiritual Eyes

About half an incense stick later.

On the southeast side of the island, nestled among the sheltered cliffs, lies a hidden cave.

Jiang Yi sat cross-legged on a stone slab.

His eyes were slightly closed, his expression was calm and serene, and he held the used spirit stone in his hand, his breathing was long and steady.

Little Pear lay to the side, her belly round and full, lazily licking her front paws.

Its big eyes kept glancing at the small pile of meat left in front of it, its gaze filled with longing.

He clearly wanted to eat a few more bites.

Unfortunately, his belly was already full and could not hold even a little more.

"Meow~"

After grooming her fur for a while, Xiao Li got up, yawned, and strolled over to Jiang Yi's feet, calling out softly.

She then curled up into a ball, nestled close to him, and began to doze off...

"..."

The moon sets and the sun rises; the crow flies and the rabbit runs.

The light and shadow on the cave ceiling dimmed and brightened, brightened and dimmed again.

A whole day and night passed in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, a roaring bonfire appeared inside the cave.

A hand-rubbed stone pot sits on the fire, the soup bubbling away.

The pot was bubbling with the snake and clam meat that Xiaoli had left over, stewed until tender and white.

A refreshing and exotic fragrance wafted out, making people's mouths water.

Jiang Yi sat by the fire, his complexion noticeably improved, and was eating meat heartily from a hand-cooked bowl and chopsticks.

The meat melted in the mouth, and a comforting warmth rose from the stomach, spreading and flowing throughout the body.

Silently nourishing the damaged body and replenishing the depletion of magical power.

Jiang Yi was secretly surprised.

The nourishing effects of this animal meat are even more gentle and potent than those of ordinary elixirs.

Then a sense of regret arose.

If I had known this meat was so nutritious, I shouldn't have acted impulsively yesterday and let Xiaoli eat as much as she wanted, wasting most of it...

"Meow~"

Little Pear sat quietly to one side, her little tail wrapped around her two front paws.

With big eyes fixed on the bowl in Jiang Yi's hand, her pink nose twitched incessantly, giving her an adorable and eager look.

Jiang Yi glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh and scold:

"Don't stare at it. You ate most of these nourishing foods yesterday, and there's only a little left. The master is still injured and needs spiritual food to recuperate, so we can't give any more to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickened his pace, continuously scooping up pieces of meat from the pot and swallowing them whole.

His mouth was watering from the food, and his forehead was covered in a fine sweat.

It felt as if a blazing furnace was burning inside my stomach.

A warm and comforting sensation flowed continuously, penetrating every inch of muscle and skin along the meridians, making it incredibly pleasant.

"Phew~"

A moment later, Jiang Yi put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

Looking up, I saw Little Pear squatting to the side with a resentful expression, her tail swishing behind her, her lips pouting as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Jiang Yi smiled faintly, flicked his sleeve to extinguish the campfire, picked up the stone pot and placed it in front of it, saying with a gentle smile:

"You've really spoiled me. You're always giving me attitude. Hurry up and eat. I left you half a pot of rich soup, it's all the essence, don't waste it."

"Meow~"

Little Pear's eyes lit up immediately. She plunged headfirst into the stone pot, completely ignoring the scalding hot broth, and stuck out her little tongue to lick it.

Jiang Yi smiled knowingly, stroked the stone for a while, then got up and sat back down on the bluestone slab.

He let out a soft sigh and looked down at the pile of spoils he had plundered beside him.

His eyes flashed, and he picked up the money bag first, weighed it in his hand, tore open the bag and looked inside.

The bag gleamed with spiritual light, and a rough count revealed a total of thirty-seven spirit stones.

Jiang Yi grinned, checked and identified each item one by one, and then put them into his sleeve with satisfaction.

Then he picked up the first-tier sea serpent materials and examined them closely.

The snakeskin skin was broken at an uneven point, clearly indicating that it was cut off by brute force, resulting in significant damage to its appearance and a substantial decrease in its value.

Those two snake fangs were still relatively intact, exceptionally sharp, and gleamed with a chilling light; they should be easy to use.

In addition, there was a snake gallbladder, about the size of a baby's fist, translucent and emerald green, wrapped in leaves and grass.

The skin is smooth and slightly elastic, emitting a refreshing, bitter aroma.

This is the essence of the sea snake, extremely nourishing.

It can not only aid in spiritual practice, but also improve eyesight, clear the mind, and strengthen muscles and bones.

After a quick examination, Jiang Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately decided to keep it for himself.

He nodded slightly and sorted and put away the various spiritual materials.

He then picked up the net-like magical artifact that had previously trapped him and examined it closely in his palm.

This item is only the size of a palm, but it feels quite heavy when folded in the palm of your hand.

The net is woven from dark silk, with intricate and delicate patterns and a subtle sheen.

Although it still falls into the category of low-grade magical artifacts, its advantage lies in its special effects, specializing in binding and seizing.

If used properly, it can turn the tide of battle at crucial moments.

With a slight thought, Jiang Yi attempted to infuse a wisp of magical power into the device.

However, he felt heavy resistance, and a clear sense of difficulty came over him. His magical power was like being trapped in quagmire, and its flow was extremely sluggish, making it difficult to control at will.

A knowing glint flashed in his eyes.

This magical artifact has been refined and used by its opponent over many years, and has long been imprinted with a deep-rooted magical power.

If you want to use it for your own purposes and to make it powerful against the enemy, you will inevitably have to put in a lot of hard work.

Only after the original marks have been worn away, and then one has used their own magical power to nurture and refine it day and night, can one achieve complete control and effortless mastery.

"good."

Jiang Yi tossed the net around, quite satisfied, and casually named it the "Spirit Binding Net".

He then put it into his sleeve pocket and picked up another ritual implement with great interest to examine it.

This is a cone-shaped ritual implement, about the thickness of a thumb and the length of a palm.

It is grayish-black in color, with fine spiral patterns covering its surface. It is hard and cold in texture, exuding a bit of menacing aura.

Like the Xuan Shuttle, this item is also a low-grade magical artifact used for offensive purposes.

However, compared to the Xuan Shuo, whose patterns have been worn down and whose power has been reduced, this Dharma Awl is in better condition.

The spirit patterns are clear and deep, and one can tell it is extraordinary as soon as one gets their hands on it.

It must have been a personal item belonging to that man's accomplice, which he hadn't had time to nurture and refine before using it in the fight.

Otherwise, if he had had this treasure in his possession last night, his situation would have been even more dangerous.

"nice one."

After examining it for a moment, Jiang Yi slowly nodded and gave the magic cone a name, calling it "Wind-Breaking Cone".

He then happily put it away and reached out to examine the two talismans.

These are two ordinary, low-grade talismans.

One wooden talisman, one water-repelling talisman.

Its effects are mediocre, with nothing particularly remarkable about it.

He glanced at it a few times, then lost interest and casually put it away.

Then, his gaze shifted to the black jade bamboo, which was still rooted in the soil and growing exceptionally well.

Reaching out and gently stroking the bamboo, I felt its icy coldness and its hard texture, like jade.

I looked at it over and over for a long time, but I still couldn't figure it out.

Before long, Jiang Yi's eyes flashed, and he stared intently at Mo Zhu. A glint of light appeared in his eyes, and his spiritual power quietly disappeared.

【Black Jade Bamboo, which prefers shady and damp environments, is 20 years old and can be used for crafting artifacts and as medicine】

"Ink Jade Bamboo... that name is quite fitting."

Jiang Yi clicked his tongue thoughtfully.

I am an outsider when it comes to spiritual plants.

I don't have a clear idea of ​​the exact value of this item.

We had no choice but to set it aside for the time being and deal with it later.

He took a deep breath and looked at the last item.

It was a bead that was warm, smooth, and white all over.

It is about the size of a fist, with a smooth and rounded surface, without any flaws.

Jiang Yi carefully picked up the pearl, held it in his palm, and caressed and played with it.

It feels cool and delicate to the touch, emitting a faint fluorescent glow, with a pure and understated spirit.

His heart beat slightly faster.

If I'm not mistaken, this should be a pearl that only a clam in the Demon Transformation Realm can produce.

This bead has extraordinary effects, possessing the profound power to calm the mind, focus the spirit, and enhance one's spiritual cultivation.

Moreover, it nourishes silently and contains no erysipelas.

It is milder than ordinary elixirs and has a higher value to cultivators.

I played with it for quite a while.

Jiang Yi smiled, reluctant to put the pearl down, and carefully put it close to his body.

This treasure definitely cannot be sold.

He planned to fully appreciate its wonders once his injuries had healed.

This is the end.

Apart from the twenty or so sea clams the size of washbasins, all the treasures looted this time have been inventoried.

If all these spiritual materials, magical artifacts, and other items were converted into spirit stones, the amount would be dizzying.

Jiang Yi shook his head inwardly, sighing inwardly.

As the saying goes, a horse won't get fat without night grass, and a person won't get rich without unexpected wealth.

This kind of risk-free business of murder and robbery is indeed the fastest way to make money.

No wonder piracy is rampant and impossible to eradicate; I've now experienced it firsthand.

This fortune, acquired overnight, would have taken an unknown amount of time to accumulate through tireless fishing day and night.

The enormous difference is something that those who haven't experienced it firsthand can hardly comprehend.

"Phew~"

Jiang Yi exhaled a breath of stale air, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind.

He slowly leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes to rest, and silently pondered the path ahead...
