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

He Ling checked her storage bag and found that all the talismans of various types had been used up, and the spiritual energy in her body was almost exhausted. If she had not relied on the thunder bead to turn defeat into victory in the end, she would probably have been in danger.

Perhaps because things had been going too smoothly these days, He Ling's sense of crisis had weakened a lot. He Ling reflected deeply on himself and decided that no matter how precious the black bamboo was, it was not as important as his own life. He made up his mind that if he encountered a similar situation again, he would turn around and leave.

Then He Ling looked at the giant snake. A fiery red bead flew out of He Ling's storage bag and instantly hit the giant snake's intact eye. With a "poof!" sound, it drilled into the giant snake's head through the eye, shaking up the brain matter, and then flew out of the eye. The giant snake was definitely dead.

However, He Ling did not rush to deal with the giant snake. Instead, he turned to look at the black bamboo. He tapped his toes lightly, leaped a few times in the air, and came to the side of the black bamboo. He had been watching from a distance before, but now he could see the black bamboo clearly.

The black bamboo is about one meter tall, with a main trunk in the middle and two branches extending from the side. The whole tree is not completely black, but has a translucent black color and some gray. The ink-colored leaves look like they have come out of an ink painting.

He Ling looked at it for a long time but couldn't see any other magical features of this black bamboo. After observing it carefully, He Ling discovered that this black bamboo actually grew on the black stone, and there was a pile of black stone powder ground into powder next to it. Thinking of the giant snake's ability to control magnets, He Ling had a rough judgment in his mind that it should be this black bamboo that gave the giant snake this ability.

He Ling also noticed that there were several connective tissues on top of the black bamboo, which should be connected to something, but now they are nowhere to be seen.

It was really not suitable to explore anything here, so he took out a piece of black cloth, wrapped up the black stone and roots under Mo Zhu's feet, and put them into the storage bag. He Ling then summoned the green sword from the storage bag and walked towards the direction of the giant snake.

The giant snake's scales were blown apart by countless talismans, leaving not a single piece of good meat, but the flesh and blood was genuine monster meat. Although the giant snake was too big to be taken away, the biggest threat here had been solved by He Ling. He Ling could easily call Qi Wan and her daughter to come and eat the meat together. After all, she could not finish such a huge snake by herself no matter how much she ate.

He Ling was about to cut off a piece of monster meat when Xiaoqing crawled out of his sleeve. It first rubbed the back of He Ling's hand, then hissed at He Ling twice.

He Ling smiled slightly and nodded Qing'er's little head with her finger. "You, you, you've already reached the third level of Qi Refining, but it's still useless. Now you still want to eat meat?"

Qing'er's intelligence is not low. She clings to He Ling's hand in a flattering way, and rubs her little head against He Ling's index finger. He Ling doesn't really blame Qing'er for her poor fighting ability. The fact that Qing'er can drink the diluted Baoquan water without dying has proved her extraordinaryness. She fully believes that Qing'er will not be so ordinary in the future.

"Okay, this is enough, right?" He Ling gestured twice and was about to swing his sword. Qing'er hissed twice again. He Ling turned to look at Qing'er in shock, "All of it?"

He Ling nodded its snake head again, "A greedy snake will swallow an elephant. Can you eat so much?"

After all, even if Qing'er could grow bigger, she would only be about ten meters long. Compared with the giant snake in front of her, the size difference was not small at all. Qing'er hissed twice and rubbed He Ling's fingers.

He Ling also became curious, "Qing'er, go ahead. I want to see if you can eat this giant snake."

Although she knew that Qing'er had a talent for swallowing, she was still curious about whether Qing'er could swallow such a huge snake.

The little green snake fell from He Ling's wrist to the ground, and in an instant it turned into a big snake about ten meters long. However, compared with the giant black snake in front of it, it was as slender as a green water pipe. It first came to the tail of the black snake, opened its mouth to the limit, and slowly swallowed it bit by bit along the snake's tail. He Ling was amazed watching from the side. Qing'er ate much more smoothly than He Ling expected. Except for the difficulty in entering the mouth at the beginning, it was swallowed very smoothly later.

No one knew where the giant snake had been swallowed by Qing'er. Its head had expanded to the limit, but the rest of its body was still of normal size, as if there was an alternate dimension inside Qing'er's body. As it swallowed more and more smoothly, the black snake that had been as big as a hill disappeared in a short while, leaving only a ten-meter-long green snake. There was no bulge in the belly of the green snake. He Ling curiously stepped forward and touched Qing'er's belly, but there was no bloating at all.

He Ling was still touching her, but Qing'er took the opportunity to wrap her arms around He Ling's wrist, shrank her body, and retracted into He Ling's sleeve. He Ling reached into her sleeve and teased Qing'er for a while, but Qing'er ignored He Ling and buried her head in her body. No matter how He Ling teased her, she did not move.

He Ling guessed that Qing'er had started to digest the giant snake, so he didn't disturb it anymore. He stepped on the green sword and patrolled the surroundings again. After finding nothing else, he left the mine.

When he arrived outside the village, He Ling put away his sword and took out a jade pendant and hung it around his waist. After a while, He Ling turned into a young man with ordinary appearance.

After returning to the room, Qi Wan asked about the situation in the mine. He Ling only said that she encountered a demon snake in the early stage of Qi Refining, which was killed by her with a few fireballs. Not even a corpse was left. Qi Wan did not doubt it.

After asking about Mo Zhu's situation, Qi Wan said that she didn't know either. He Ling was not surprised. It seemed that they could only talk about it after returning to Yuxian Town.

The next day, He Ling came to the blacksmith shop early, but Qi Wan and her daughter did not follow. They just wanted to see the novelty and were not really interested in blacksmithing. They came for two days in a row just to give He Ling face.

As for why He Ling also wanted to set up a stall, the reason was that she needed copper. Although she had magnets, she did not have copper. In this era, copper was a rare mineral and was not easy to find, so the best way to obtain copper now was the copper coins in the hands of the villagers.

He Ling found a sign and hung it at the door of the blacksmith shop, indicating that they would only accept copper coins and not grain. However, the price was still much cheaper than buying a new piece of ironware. She also brought back a lot of iron ore from the mine, so there was no problem in meeting the village's demand for ironware.

Most of the villagers were illiterate, and it took He Ling's repeated emphasis before they finally understood what He Ling meant. However, when they saw that the blacksmith shop only accepted copper coins, there were fewer villagers in front of it, but the shop was still bustling.

He Ling worked as a blacksmith until midnight and managed to collect about a thousand copper coins. There were a total of forty or fifty households in this village, and collecting so much was beyond He Ling's expectations. After all, coins were precious and the villagers did not have much savings at home.

A full moon shone into the blacksmith's shop, but she didn't go back. Instead, she added more fuel to the fire, making the forge burn brighter. She poured some copper plates into a pre-made iron spoon, and when it turned into molten copper, she placed it into a mold made of mud and sand. When the molten copper solidified, she used a clamp to pick up the molten copper wire.

After using a grindstone to smooth out the burrs, a one-meter-long copper wire the size of a thick needle appeared in He Ling's hand. After checking it and confirming that there were no bubbles or uneven thickness, He Ling put down the copper wire and continued to repeat the previous steps to make the copper wire.
