Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality

In the morning, the sun was already shining into the thatched hut, and He Ling finally opened her eyes.

It had been a long time since He Ling had gone to bed hungry, and she slept until dawn.

He got up from the bed, stretched, and then looked at the white porcelain teapot on the table again.

He Ling walked over, hovered her finger above the Gastrodia elata, and was about to drop today's precious spring.

But he seemed to have thought of something and withdrew his fingers.

She looked at her skinny palms and arms that were almost bone-only, and frowned.

He Ling suddenly thought that the Gastrodia elata in her hand must be sold. No matter how careful she was, this matter would be exposed to some people.

She is in such a fragile state now. If someone comes to steal her Gastrodia elata or has any bad intentions towards her, she will have no way to deal with it.

She had to find a way to save her life.

After much thought, He Ling looked towards the mountain behind and came up with an idea.

He lit a fire and cooked a bowl of porridge. Then he took a rusty sickle and went out to the back mountain.

In addition to this sickle, there is also a rusty hoe, which are the only two iron tools in the house.

The back mountain is just a small hill, not very big, and there are no ferocious beasts on the mountain. He Ling has lived here for so long, but has not even seen a rabbit.

Before, when there was no food to eat, He Ling often went to the mountains to hunt for mushrooms or plant fruits to eat, and he was very familiar with the back mountain.

After walking along the mountain road for a while, He Ling carefully crawled into a bush nearby.

The grass was covered with thorny vines with fingernail-sized barbs crisscrossing back and forth. The thorny vines were dark green in color and tightly surrounded the two small trees in the grass.

He Ling gently pinched the thornless part with her fingers, then picked up the sickle and slowly began to saw.

This thorny vine is called Bee Tail Thorn. As the name suggests, when you are stung by it, it will feel like being stung by a bee, with a big swelling, and the pain is more unbearable than that of bee venom.

It would take at least three to five days for the pain to go away. When He Ling was hunting in the mountains before, she was accidentally pricked by the pain. She cursed in pain for several days.

Therefore, she had a particularly deep understanding of this plant. When she thought of ways to save her life, the first thing she thought of was the bee sting.

It took me a long time to saw with a sickle to cut off a small section of the bee tail thorn vine.

He took out a piece of coarse cloth and carefully wrapped it in several layers before he dared to take it in his hand.

After doing all this, He Ling looked at the sky. The sun was still halfway up the mountain and had not yet risen completely.

After going down the mountain and returning to the thatched hut, He Ling didn't dare to plant the bee tail thorn vine at home, so he planted it in an inconspicuous corner next to the thatched hut.

He dug a small hole, carefully took out the beetail thorn vine and inserted it into the hole.

He Ling thought about it, wrapped her hands with cloth, and broke off most of the small thorns on the bee tail thorn vine.

In her previous life, she saw some videos about growing flowers, which said that the leaves of flowers should be trimmed frequently to make the flowers grow better. Otherwise, the leaves will always steal the nutrients from the flowers and affect their growth.

He Ling guessed that the bee tail thorn vine should be roughly the same.

Seeing that only two or three barbs were left on the dark green vine, He Ling nodded in satisfaction.

Then He Ling hovered her fingers above the beetail thorn vine.

After a while, a drop of water dripped from her fingertips.

The moment the precious spring water dripped onto the bee-tail thorn vine, white roots immediately grew out from the broken end of the bee-tail thorn vine and firmly penetrated into the soil.

The vine trunk has also grown a lot longer, but not as exaggerated as the bee tail thorn vine on the mountain.

On the contrary, the three remaining barbs on the vine stem actually grew a lot bigger, from the size of a fingernail to the size of half a finger.

Sparse small barbs grew around the vine trunk.

He Ling observed it for a while and she remembered that the bee tail thorn vine would wither once a year and then grow thorns again in the spring.

However, this bee-tail thorn vine in my hand, which was fed with Baoquan, is not like this. Although it has been ripened for a year, it shows no signs of withering.

However, He Ling didn't think much about it. He peeled off all the small barbs that had grown back and then walked back into the house.

In the following days, He Ling worked on ripening the bee tail thorn vine while filling her stomach with the rice sent by Aunt Zhao.

In the blink of an eye, twelve days had passed.

Originally, He Ling had ripened the Gastrodia elata on the tenth day, and the Bee Tail Thorn Vine had also been ripened for eight days, adding eight years to the ripening period.

When she went to check the Bee Tail Thorn Vine, she found that a bloody red line had appeared in the vine trunk, extending all the way to the only three remaining barbs on the vine trunk. The three barbs had now grown to half the length of her palm.

They looked exactly like three daggers. He Ling's intuition told her that if they were ripened for ten years, there might be new changes.

So He Ling postponed the date.

The rice Aunt Zhao sent was enough to last for about ten days. If they saved a little, there would be enough left over for two days, but any more would not be enough, and He Ling would definitely go hungry.

Early in the morning, He Ling carefully took the Gastrodia elata out of the teapot. After cleaning off the dirt, He Ling nodded with satisfaction. She was very careful this time and even kept the roots intact.

After collecting most of the Gastrodia elata seeds, He Ling took out a piece of black cloth and wrapped the Gastrodia elata tightly.

After doing all this, He Ling walked out the door to check the condition of the bee tail thorn vine.

When He Ling came to the thatched hut and took a look, his eyes lit up.

The vine trunk, which was originally dark green, was now dyed red, half dark green and half bright red.

It's not simple at first glance.

The three barbs on the vine are even more amazing.

The three barbs are now round and smooth, as if they had been polished by an old man for who knows how many years. The surface is shiny and glossy, showing a beautiful wood grain.

However, the tip of the barb flashed with a cold light and even had a metallic texture.

He Ling touched the three barbs and pinched one of them. She thought it would take some effort, but unexpectedly, it was easily pulled out.

The barb was in the shape of a sharp triangle and was rather slender overall. He Ling did not dare to try out the power of the barb himself.

She looked around and found an innocent frog.

The frog was still observing its surroundings, thinking of catching a bug to eat, when it was caught by a big hand. The frog kicked its legs and struggled continuously, trying to escape from the big hand.

He Ling said sorry in his heart, picked up the barb and pricked the frog lightly.

The moment it was stabbed, the frog's four legs stretched out and its whole body became stiff and motionless.

He Ling touched the frog and found that it didn't react at all.

After waiting for a while, He Ling was sure that the frog was dead.

He Ling was a little shocked.

In just a moment, Frog was in heaven.

Given the toxicity, if it were to be applied to a human, it would at least make the person half dead!

At this moment, He Ling felt that the hand holding the barb was shaking, for fear that it would accidentally prick herself.

He Ling carefully took the barb and wrapped it with several layers of black cloth. Still not feeling reassured, he wrapped the tip of the barb with two more layers before he felt relieved.

However, after seeing the power of the barbs, He Ling's anxious heart finally settled down.

At least now she had the means to defend herself.
