I was reborn as a young master in an invincible family of immortals

Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Lin Hui and the others depart. Although this encounter with them had been a close call, it had also made him more alert. He must remain vigilant at all times in this misty forest.

After helping Lin Yun repel Lin Hui and others, the colorful spirit bird did not fly away immediately. Instead, it circled above Lin Yun's head for several times, making several crisp chirps, as if expressing something.

Lin Yun looked up at the spirit bird, feeling somewhat surprised. He could sense that the spirit bird was quite intelligent, and perhaps it had some intention.

"Little guy, why don't you leave? Is there anything else?" Lin Yun tried to communicate with the spirit bird, although he was not sure whether the spirit bird could understand what he said.

After hearing what Lin Yun said, the spirit bird slowly landed on his shoulder and rubbed Lin Yun's cheek gently with its small head, appearing very intimate.

Lin Yun's heart moved, and he couldn't help but smile slightly. He gently stroked the feathers of the spirit bird and said, "Well, since you don't want to leave, then follow me. But this forest is full of dangers, so you have to be careful."

The spirit bird seemed to understand Lin Yun's words and chirped happily in response.

Lin Yun then continued walking deeper into the forest with the spirit bird. As they went deeper, the surrounding fog grew thicker, and the spiritual energy became so dense it almost seemed to materialize. Lin Yun became increasingly certain that the thousand-year-old spirit herb must be nearby.

After walking a little further, Lin Yun suddenly heard the sound of gurgling water. He walked in the direction of the sound and saw a clear stream appear before his eyes. The stream sparkled in the sunlight, like a flowing Milky Way.

On the other side of the stream, Lin Yun spotted the coveted thousand-year-old spiritual herb. Its leaves were emerald green, and a faint halo of light seemed to flow through them, making it particularly dazzling in the misty forest.

Lin Yun was overjoyed. When he was trying to find a way to cross the stream to pick the spiritual herbs, he sensed a dangerous aura approaching quietly.

He turned abruptly and saw a massive python slithering out from the nearby woods. The python was covered in black scales, each one gleaming with a metallic sheen. Its body was as thick as a bucket, and its vertical pupils shone with an icy light as it stared intently at Lin Yun.

Lin Yun's heart tightened. He could feel that the python's strength was far superior to the black bear monster he had encountered before. It was probably on the verge of being able to transform. It was definitely an extremely difficult opponent.

"Roar!" The python opened its bloody mouth and let out a low roar, shaking the surrounding trees slightly.

Lin Yun didn't dare delay for a moment. He quickly mobilized all of his spiritual energy and formed seals with his hands, deploying layer after layer of spiritual shields before him. At the same time, he pulled a sharp sword from his storage ring. This sword had been specially selected before his departure. While not a peerless divine weapon, it was still incredibly sharp.

Seeing that Lin Yun was in a defensive posture, the python did not attack immediately. Instead, it swam slowly, circling around Lin Yun, as if looking for his weakness.

Lin Yun watched the python's every move closely, beads of sweat gradually seeping out of his forehead. He knew that a battle with the python was inevitable, and he had to fight it quickly, otherwise if his spiritual power was exhausted, he would be in danger.

Suddenly, the python launched an attack, and its huge body rushed towards Lin Yun like a black lightning.

Lin Yun was prepared. He dodged the python's attack with a flick of his body, dodging it to the side. At the same time, he swung his sword, infusing it with spiritual energy. The sword instantly shone brightly and slashed towards the python's body.

"Dang!" The sword slashed on the python's scales, making a sound like metal collision, leaving only a shallow white mark on the scales, and could not cause any substantial damage to the python.

Lin Yun was shocked that the python's defense was so strong.

The python was enraged by Lin Yun's attack, and opened its mouth again, spraying a stream of black venom towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun quickly cast his spiritual shield to keep the venom out. However, the venom was extremely corrosive, and the shield began to crack under the erosion of the venom.

Just when Lin Yun was feeling anxious, the colorful spirit bird on his shoulder suddenly flew up, and the colorful light around it shone brightly as it rushed towards the python.

The spirit bird was extremely fast and instantly arrived above the python's head. Then it opened its mouth and a brilliant colorful light spurted out of its mouth, shooting straight into the python's eyes.

The python was hit in the eye by the sudden attack, and let out a painful roar, and its huge body rolled on the ground.

Seeing this, Lin Yun seized this rare opportunity, raised the sword again, gathered all the spiritual power in his body into the sword, and slashed it hard at a relatively weak spot on the python's scales.

This time, the sword successfully cut through the python's scales and penetrated into its body.

The python struggled in pain, and Lin Yun took advantage of the situation and continued to swing his sword, causing more damage to the python.

Finally, after a fierce fight, the python gradually became motionless and its huge body collapsed to the ground.

Lin Yun wiped the sweat from his forehead, secretly feeling thankful. If it weren't for the help of the seven-colored spirit bird, it would have been very difficult for him to defeat the python.

He turned and looked at the thousand-year-old spiritual herb on the other side of the stream, his eyes filled with anticipation. The herb was right before his eyes. If he could just cross the stream, he could collect it. With the power of this herb, perhaps his path to immortality would take another major step forward, giving him more confidence to face unknown challenges and unlock the mystery of rebirth.
