Konoha: Who's the good guy?

On the high platform, the White Snake Immortal did not transform into the appearance of the old woman, but met with the mountain scenery in his true form.

The huge white snake's head was wrapped in a black cloth.

The two protruding points on the cloth were either dragon horns that had already grown from the dragon itself, or they were simply formed from the cloth.

Its golden snake eyes are identical to Orochimaru's snake-shaped eyes, but they lack some of the sharp aggression and threat.

Her long, gray-brown hair was casually draped behind her head, which should have been an extremely strange sight, but it inexplicably gave people a sense of kindness and peace.

......

Name: White Phosphorus Serpent

Occupation: None

Entry: Golden Skin Immortal Robe (Red), Serpent Transformation into Dragon (Purple), Tail-Binding Earth (Blue), Coiled Serpent Listening (Blue), Roaring Tail (Green), Serpent Sensation (Green), Beast Heart (White), Eccentric (White), Elephant Swallowing (Gray).

......

Golden Skin Immortal Robe (Red): After a thousand years of meticulous cultivation, the Dragon Cave Immortal Technique has been passed down to its limit, granting perfect control over the Dragon Cave Immortal Technique. Skin and flesh undergo a transformation, becoming impervious to water and fire, and unharmed by swords and blades. Control over immortal technique energy, body recovery, immortal technique resistance, and affinity with natural energy are greatly enhanced. The release speed, power, and effects of the Dragon Cave Immortal Technique are greatly increased. In Sage Mode, the body's recovery ability, reaction speed, physical strength, and ninjutsu power are greatly enhanced. Each time an injury is recovered, the body's defense, recovery ability, perception, strength, and speed are enhanced.

"This entry..."

The moment Shan Zhongjing saw the entry for "Golden Skin Immortal Robe," he immediately thought of two other sacred sites for summoning spirit beasts.

The magical arts passed down in Ryūchi-dō are clearly primarily effective on the skin and muscles.

What about bones, meridians, internal organs, and even the spirit?

It's impossible that all immortal techniques are passed down by those who specialize in training the skin and muscles!

The potential of magical artifacts seems to be even greater than he imagined!

I temporarily suppressed the burning desire that was rising in my heart.

Shan Zhongjing quickly scanned the remaining entries.

The two entries, 【虺蛇化蛟】 and 【衔尾缚地】, are related.

The viper is a legendary, extremely ferocious snake, cruel, vicious, and untamed. During the transformation from snake to dragon, the White Snake Immortal's physique was further enhanced, making him powerful and his personality extremely vicious.

The term "[Tail-Binding]" refers to the cultivation method of a white phosphorus serpent, where "tail-binding" is the negative effect of this cultivation state.

The ouroboros, according to legend, symbolizes infinity, endless cycles, and immortality.

This adds a negative buff that makes you trapped in Ryuchi Cave and unable to move, and it's a blue attribute at that...

As one can guess from the mountain scenery, once the white phosphorus serpent breaks free from the negative state of being bound to the ground...

These two terms will probably merge and advance at any moment, allowing this guy to truly transform from a snake into a dragon!

【Panshe Diting】is an ability that allows one to listen to all sounds and movements in Longdi Cave and perceive everything.

Rattlesnake is a snake's ability to confuse, deceive, and attack through sound. Snake sense is a snake's innate ability, including a transparent membrane protecting its eyes and infrared perception.

As for "Beast Heart" and "Eccentricity," the former is an extreme advocate of the law of the jungle, while the latter is eccentric and aloof, making them difficult to get along with.

As for the final "Elephant Devouring," it turns out to be the desire to cultivate prey, make it stronger and more palatable, and then eat it!

"That old woman, she really is no good!"

Shan Zhongjing immediately became extremely vigilant, standing several meters away from the white phosphorus snake and refusing to approach.

The reaction speed brought by starting from zero frames.

This distance is enough for him to calmly choose whether to counterattack or retreat.

"Young man, have you also come here in search of a lineage of immortal arts?"

The White Snake Immortal's snake eyes gleamed with a faint golden light, its snake tail swayed gently, and it spoke in human language.

His tone was kind, full of appreciation and admiration.

The scenery in the mountains is very clear.

This appreciation and admiration stemmed entirely from seeing such excellent prey and ingredients!

"Yes, I don't know how to cultivate the immortal techniques of Ryuchi Cave?"

Shan Zhongjing nodded slightly, showing no sign of anything unusual on his face.

"The Sage Techniques of Ryuchi Cave are different from those of other places. If you accept the power I infuse into your body and succeed, you will master Sage Mode. If you fail, you will be devoured by the Sage Techniques' energy and become our food."

The White Snake Immortal parted his lips slightly, revealing two sharp snake fangs, the meaning of which was crystal clear.

"Is there no other way?"

"Every power comes with risk. How can you expect to gain benefits without taking any risks? Besides, I can sense that your physique is very special. You have at least a 90% chance of success. I have high hopes for you."

"Ninety percent..."

Yamanaka Kei's gaze fell upon the contract-summoning scroll placed in the mouth of the ferocious beast behind the White Serpent Immortal.

He already knew that this white phosphorus serpent had no intention of seriously instructing the newcomer.

Let this guy bite you.

Is it really only magical energy that's being injected?

Think about the deformed Sage Mode of Orochi Kabuto in the original work.

There's also the Sage Art: White Strike Technique, which displays abilities identical to [Rattlesnake] and [Snake Sense].

Is it really just an effect of transplanting Orochimaru's cells?

Orochimaru doesn't know that kind of thing!

and......

Ninety percent probability.

Unstable, unstable!

"Do you want to sign a spirit contract first? Ryuchi Cave has its own rules. Unless you fail the test or are devoured by the energy of the sage, we won't eat you."

The White Snake Immortal had a pipe in his mouth, and wisps of smoke rose up from it.

Although it was saying this, the snake's tail still rose up, rolled up a spirit contract scroll that was almost as tall as a person, and placed it in front of Yamanaka Kei.

"...There are quite a few people."

Shan Zhongjing glanced at the long string of names on the huge scroll, now dark brown and devoid of the power of the contract.

And at the end of the scroll, Orochimaru's name is still bright red.

He took out the storage tube and directly signed the psychic contract.

"There will always be people who become obsessed with great power, ignoring the limits of their own abilities, and endlessly wanting to gain more."

The White Snake Immortal chuckled and put the scroll away again.

Looking at the mountain scenery, he continued speaking gently.

"Young man, what is your choice?"

"Hmm~ I choose to add points to Dark Blue."

"???"

The White Snake Immortal was stunned for a moment. Even with its thousand years of wisdom and experience, it couldn't understand what the young man in front of it had said.

"System, copy the red entry: [Golden Skin Fairy Robe]!"

[Entry copied successfully. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the red entry 'Golden Skin Immortal Robe'.]

"activation."

The mountain scenery faded from the conversation.

A strange, tingling sensation, similar to when he first activated his immortal body, wafted through his body.

A wealth of memories and experiences from cultivating the Dragon Land Cave Immortal Techniques flooded into his mind.

He subconsciously absorbed the bits of natural energy into his body, merging his mental energy, physical energy, and natural energy into one.

A small amount of Sage Chakra was successfully created.

Using these Sage Chakra as a starting point.

The vast amount of chakra and boundless spiritual power within Yamanaka Kei's body began to frantically absorb the natural energy within Ryuchi Cave.

The natural energy that was originally invisible to the naked eye was directly formed into a seven-colored energy vortex under the terrifying suction force!

Sage Chakra gradually filled his entire body!

The muscle cells, already brimming with vitality, became even stronger and more energetic as the Sage Chakra surged.

The muscles, though thin and wiry, instantly became firmer and more powerful.

The skin glowed with a fluorescent light, becoming even more delicate and fair.

Buzz!

Sage Chakra flowed across the surface of the mountain dweller's body, and his clothes glowed with a sky-blue light!

Two forked horns formed by the gathering of chakra sprout from the sides of his forehead.

Transparent aggregates of chakra, resembling neither dragons nor snakes, also surrounded his body.

Her originally golden medium-length hair danced with chakra, emitting a faint bluish-white light.

It seemed like an instinct.

Shan Zhongjing slowly lifted his feet off the ground and hovered in front of the White Snake Immortal's couch.

He raised his hand and used Water Release, transforming it into a water mirror as tall as a person.

Looking at my reflection in the mirror.

A slight smile appeared on Shan Zhongjing's lips.

His Sage Mode is somewhat like a combination of the Tenseigan Chakra Mode and Mitsuki's Sage Mode.

The facial mark between the eyebrows is sky blue and only the size of a peanut.

It's this corner...

It doesn't look like snake horns, and it's just too cute.

Yamanaka Kageko raised his hand to touch the small horn on his forehead, feeling the surging power within him, and slowly landed on the ground.

Strength, speed, vitality, perception, and resilience have all been improved to varying degrees.

Furthermore, Sage Chakra is significantly stronger than normal chakra, providing a substantial boost to any ninjutsu.

In addition, there are several immortal techniques that come with the [Golden Skin Immortal Robe].

This entry was a worthwhile copy!
