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

In the stone chamber, a furnace was floating in front of He Ling, and a ball of orange-red flame rose at He Ling's fingertips. As the temperature of the furnace gradually increased, He Ling put a spiritual medicine into the furnace. After a while, the spiritual medicine turned into a ball of green liquid. As the liquid turned slightly white, He Ling put in another spiritual medicine. After the liquid turned white again, he repeated the original steps until after several times, the liquid in the furnace turned slightly brown.

A gleam of light flashed in He Ling's eyes, and he carefully used his spiritual power to divide the liquid medicine into nine small balls. The flame at the bottom of the furnace also grew larger, and the original liquid medicine ball immediately took shape. Then the fire was reduced again until the brown color on the surface of the pill became a few shades darker. Only then did he stop the spiritual fire, use the object control technique to take out the pill and put it in a small porcelain bottle that could isolate spiritual power. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the nine pills in the small bottle, He Ling smiled. Generally, an alchemist could produce eight to ten pills in a furnace, which was considered a qualified alchemist. Of course, there were also gifted alchemists who could produce more than ten pills or even more. Originally, according to the number of spiritual medicines, the limit of a furnace of pills was about fifteen pills, but there would definitely be some consumption and waste in the middle, which was almost unavoidable. Judging from the quantity, He Ling's current alchemy skills were considered to be quite accomplished.

"Qing'er, come and try the elixir made by daddy." A small green snake crawled out from He Ling's arm. The little green snake's aura was stronger than before. Half a year had passed now, and Qing'er had basically never stopped taking spirit beast elixirs. Just over ten days ago, after He Ling's continuous feeding, it successfully broke through the second level of Qi training and became a spirit beast of the third level of Qi training. However, there was no change in Qing'er after this breakthrough. It didn't even have any special abilities like the ability to grow bigger or smaller as before. It was just that its aura was stronger.

It is worth mentioning that Qing'er's physical strength has increased a lot. Now, Qing'er can draw a big crack in the stone wall with just a swing of her tail. However, the physical strength of spirit beasts is stronger than that of cultivators, so He Ling is not surprised.

After leaving the alchemy room, he went to the secret room to draw the precious spring water as usual to ripen the elixir. Then he returned to the stone bed and was about to sit in meditation to practice when a wooden token in his arms suddenly vibrated.

He Ling's eyes fixed; someone had entered the range of the illusion array! With a wave of her hand, she summoned a green sword. A porcelain bottle flew out, and the elixir inside automatically floated to her lips. She had just refined the elixir to activate the spiritual fire, using up a large amount of spiritual power. Now, only half of the spiritual power in her body remained. After taking a soul-restoring pill, He Ling produced a dozen fireball talismans in her left hand. It wasn't that she didn't have other talismans, but she had too many of these fireball talismans in stock. A large number of them had been scrapped before without talisman seals, so these were all sealed.

At this moment, she held a sword in her right hand and a talisman in her left hand. She made a hand gesture and a yellow shadow quickly ran into the room of Qi Wan and her daughter. A moment later, Qi Wan also came out with a dagger as if facing a great enemy.

She nodded to He Ling first, then whispered, "Sister Ling'er, did any thieves break in?"

He Ling shook her head. "Sister Qi Wan, I'm not sure yet. Please stay here first. I have the Breath Containment Technique. I'll go investigate the situation."

This breath-concealing technique is also the magical effect of the treasure spring that He Ling discovered recently. As long as she uses the water of the treasure spring to cover the spiritual power in her body, no matter how others detect her, she will be no different from an ordinary person.

Qi Wan had also seen He Ling's breath-concealing technique, so she just nodded and said nothing more. He Ling first walked to the huge stone plate blocking the door, and listened to the movement by the stone. She could hear some sounds slightly, but not clearly. She took out a compass from the storage bag. Here was the silence array seized from Xu Tao before. She transferred some spiritual power to the compass, and the compass emitted a faint light. A transparent film covered the distance of half a meter in front of He Ling. Then she tiptoed to a small path on the huge stone plate. This was a path she dug out specifically to explore the news outside, and it was also an improvement made after learning from Xu Tao's previous lessons.

At this time, two black-robed monks were standing outside, one with a hunched body and the other short. Not far from them, a pair of bright eyes suddenly appeared in the shadow of a large rock. However, the location was too tricky. Even if you looked for it on purpose, it would take a while to find it. The two monks were talking about something at this time and didn't notice the eyes in the dark at all.

"Are you really in touch with the Wang family?" asked the short man in black robe.

"Of course. If it wasn't a sure thing, I wouldn't have asked you to come over." The hunched man in black robe replied.

"Does the Wang family know our identities?"

"Of course I know, otherwise I wouldn't look for you."

The short black-robed man sneered, "The Wang family is quite bold. They actually dare to get involved with evil cultivators. If the disciples of the immortal sects find out, they will probably uproot them."

The hunched black-robed man also laughed strangely. "Ever since Master Qingfeng died, the three major families in Yuxian Town have all wanted to compete for the position of leader. Unfortunately, so much time has passed, and I haven't heard of any family's late-stage Qi Refining cultivator breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage. The strength of the three families was originally very different, and it's been more than half a year, and they're still the same."

"If the disciples of the Immortal Sect come by then, it will be hard to say who will take the leading position. The Wang family has already staked too much on the position and can no longer care about anything else. But it is also thanks to the Wang family, otherwise we would never have the chance to succeed."

The short black-robed man became curious. "Oh? What benefits did the Wang family promise that would be worth you running around like this for them?"

The hunchbacked man in black robe smiled and said only two words, "Co-governance!"

The short, black-robed figure's tone grew excited. "Really?" These evil cultivators needed the essence and blood of humans and cultivators to cultivate, or else they'd need corpses or something. If they were really allowed to rule Yuxian Town together, wouldn't that be like a pack of hungry wolves entering a sheepfold? Furthermore, with the ten great immortal sects backing them up, a significant number of cultivators flocked there every year. It was like a sheepfold that automatically replenished its lambs.

The hunchbacked man in black robe also said with a smile: "Of course it's true, otherwise why would I go to so much trouble to help the Wang family."

The short black-robed man thought for only a moment before agreeing, "Okay! I promise you, I'll follow the conditions we agreed on before, but I also have to have a place in Yuxian Town!"

"Okay, it's a deal."

After they had discussed it, they flew off in two different directions.
