Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

The next morning, under Zhao Jing's worried gaze, Ye Yu boarded the bus to Shi County.

Yunfeng Temple is located in the southwest of Shi County and is quite famous in Zhang City. It is only a little over an hour away from Zhang City. At this moment, Ye Yu is climbing the steps one by one.

Since it is winter, everything is covered in white as far as the eye can see, and the trees sway pitifully in the biting cold wind.

"Achoo!" Ye Yu sneezed.

She thought to herself, "If this were my past life, what would winter be? I, Fairy Ye Yu, would always be wearing a light blue dress with orchids and flowing water, riding my Frost Sword when I went out. How magnificent that would be! And now? I'm wearing a bulky black cotton coat, panting and crawling on the stairs."

"This is so hard!" Ye Yu stopped and shouted to the sky.

After shouting, he faced reality, rubbed his nose, and crawled towards the Taoist temple.

About half an hour later, the sound of a bell was heard. Ye Yu quickened her pace and saw wisps of smoke rising from the temple not far away. A smile appeared on her face.

Once inside the Taoist temple, Ye Yu first found the Taoist priest who had arranged her accommodations and got everything settled before wandering around the temple.

The Taoist temple wasn't particularly large; its apricot-yellow walls and bluish-gray roof ridges, set against the backdrop of white snow, made it appear exceptionally quiet and solemn.

Ye Yu closed her eyes to sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the world, but unfortunately, even after standing there for a while, the spiritual energy did not become much stronger.

Footsteps approached from not far away. Ye Yu opened her eyes and looked at the person who came. She saw a Taoist priest with a white beard and a whisk on his wrist.

The Taoist priest smiled and asked Ye Yu, "Are you breathing in some fresh air, benefactor?"

Ye Yu nodded and said, "I haven't been feeling well lately, and the doctor advised me to rest in a quiet place with fresh air for a while." Hearing Ye Yu say this, the Taoist priest's face showed a knowing expression.

He said, “You can go to the back mountain. After walking for about three hours, you will see a small waterfall. The scenery there is pleasant, with plenty of vegetation. It’s a good place. Our pilgrims who stay here occasionally go there. They all say that staying there for a while makes them feel refreshed. However, very few people insist on going every day.” He shook his head as he spoke.

Hearing the Taoist say this, Ye Yu's heart skipped a beat, but she calmly thanked the Taoist.

After the Taoist priest left, Ye Yu immediately went back to her house, picked up her schoolbag, went to the temple's canteen to pack some dry food, and headed towards the back mountain.

Three hours later, Ye Yu stood in front of the small waterfall.

Although the waterfall is small, the spray is as fine as mist, filling the air like a thin veil. The surrounding wildflowers and grasses are exceptionally lush, fully demonstrating the uniqueness of this place.

With my eyes closed, I circulated the Three Elements True Scripture to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Sure enough! The spiritual energy here was much richer.

Just as Ye Yu was about to sit down to cultivate, she noticed something was wrong. She searched carefully and found a place that was completely different from the surroundings because there was no spiritual energy there.

She opened her eyes, climbed onto the rock on the left, and walked towards the vines behind the waterfall.

The closer you get to the waterfall, the more mist you get, and your clothes get almost completely soaked.

Walking up to the vines, he lifted them up and saw a hole about the width of a person appear in front of Ye Yu.

She bent over and stepped into the cave. After taking five or six steps, her vision suddenly opened up, and she saw a tree with a pale blue hue standing quietly.

"This is!"

Ye Yu exclaimed excitedly, "Azure Glass Tree!" She never expected that a spiritual plant could grow in this resource-scarce world.

Although the Azure Glass Fruit of the Azure Glass Tree is not a rare spiritual plant, it has the effects of cleansing the marrow and bones and replenishing spiritual energy. It is also one of the ingredients in the Xuan Yuan Pill, a elixir taken by Qi Refining stage cultivators.

There were five Qingli fruits on the tree. Due to the lack of spiritual energy, the fruits were not large, and their dark purple skin indicated that they were ripe.

Ye Yu picked one, sat cross-legged, regulated her breathing for a while, and then opened her mouth to bite into the Qingli Fruit.

To be honest, it was really hard to eat. It tasted like a rotten apple, and the juice was sticky.

There was no other way. These spiritual plants and fruits should have been refined in a medicine cauldron before being consumed, but she had neither spiritual power nor a medicine cauldron, so she could only swallow them while enduring the nausea, and began to cultivate by forming hand seals.

Time flies, and when Ye Yu opened her eyes, it was almost dark.

However, she has already opened up her blocked meridians and undergone a complete body cleansing and rejuvenation process, making her body more than ten times stronger than that of an ordinary person.

She stood up and smelled a foul stench emanating from her body. Looking down, she saw that her entire body was covered in black grime.

Ye Yu took out tissues from her schoolbag, wiped the grime off her face and hands, slung her schoolbag over her shoulder, and ran down the mountain, enduring the stench.

As they approached the Taoist temple, Ye Yu slowed her pace. Seeing that no one was out and about because it was dark, she quickly ran back to her room.

Back in my room, the first thing I did was take a good shower. Looking at myself in the mirror, I realized that thanks to the cleansing and rejuvenation process, I now possessed about one-tenth of the beauty I had in my previous life.

She finally felt relieved. Everyone loves beauty, after all, she was a great beauty in her previous life.

For more than ten days in a row, Ye Yu left early and returned late. During this time, apart from calling her mother Zhao Jing, she was always in a state of cultivation.

"Phew~, I've barely reached the first level of Qi Refining now, and I still need to consolidate it. But perhaps because of my rebirth, my divine sense is dozens of times stronger than in my previous life."

Ye Yu stood up and looked at the Azure Glass Fruit behind her. She had already eaten three fruits, and she planned to eat one more tomorrow to fully enter the first stage of Qi Refining. She intended to use the remaining fruit to make a talisman by incorporating it into the cinnabar she had bought earlier.

Ye Yu reached out and touched the trunk of the Azure Glass Tree, only to find a protrusion on the side of the trunk.

Upon closer inspection, she noticed a crack in the area. She carefully peeled back the bark along the crack and was astonished to see a ring embedded inside.

She held her breath, took out the ring, and infused it with a wisp of spiritual power, instantly overjoyed.

"Hahaha, I never expected my luck to be so good, Ye Yu! This is actually a storage ring!" He then began to examine the items inside the storage ring.

The storage ring had a space of about 100 square meters, filled with a jumble of things: jade slips, magic tools, talismans, a few low-grade spirit stones, and even two Rejuvenation Pills!

Although the owner of this storage ring appears to be a rogue cultivator and not wealthy, it is undoubtedly a huge fortune for Ye Yu at present.

This also means that cultivators have existed in this world before.

Thanks to the difficult path up the mountain, not many people come here. The waterfall is in an excellent location, perfectly concealing the vine-covered cave entrance; otherwise, Ye Yu would have no chance.

After roughly cleaning out his storage ring, Ye Yu took out a Rejuvenation Pill and put it in his mouth.

She needed to take this opportunity to consolidate her cultivation level; otherwise, given the limited spiritual energy of this world, she might be stuck at this level and unable to break through.

Two days later, Ye Yu sat motionless under the Qingli tree, his aura becoming even more solid.

She opened her eyes, felt the long-lost spiritual energy circulating throughout her body, and smiled.

"I am now a true Qi Refining Stage 1 cultivator."

Ye Yu took out her phone from her bag, intending to check what day it was, but the phone had run out of battery after two days, so she had to pack up and go back to the Taoist temple to find out.

She didn't plan to come back for the next few days because she wanted to focus on making talismans.

Before leaving, I really wanted to take the Azure Glass Tree with me, but there was no place to put it yet, so I had to leave it for the time being.

However, she made up her mind to go back and find a way to make money so that she could have a suitable place for the spiritual plant to grow. Then she would come back and move the Azure Glass Tree away!
