Transmigration: A person in a martial arts world, cultivating to ascend to immortality

Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Yuchuan had been living in these mountains for nearly two months. At this time, his cultivation had broken through to the peak of the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he was only one step away from the sixth level of Qi Refining.

He is currently preparing to refine a pill called the Spirit Gathering Pill, but after two months of searching, he is still missing one herb.

The Spirit Gathering Pill is a very common elixir used to assist cultivators in the Qi Refining stage. It only requires six medicinal ingredients to make, and the process is also very simple.

If he were on the Tianding Continent, he wouldn't even glance at such a pill. But times have changed, and given his current situation, this Spirit Gathering Pill is his best option.

After exiting the Spirit Pearl, Jiang Yuchuan glanced at the sky, slung over his shoulder the bamboo basket he had woven in his spare time, filled it with some wild fruit to eat, and prepared to head deep into the mountains to try his luck and see if he could find the last herb he needed.

The mountain range where Jiang Yuchuan was located was larger than he had imagined.

In the past two months, he has only explored the few mountains closest to him, and he has not set foot in the deeper parts of the mountains.

Although he had not encountered any humans during these two months, he could not let his guard down.

Without confirming the existence of other cultivators in this world, he had to be extremely careful and absolutely could not allow the existence of the Spirit Pearl to be exposed. Therefore, the bamboo basket behind him, used to conceal his presence and hold his belongings, was indispensable.

The deeper you go into the mountains, the more rugged and steep the mountain path becomes, and from time to time, overgrown vegetation will block your way.

Because of the sparse spiritual energy around him, Jiang Yuchuan did not use magic to clear the obstacles. When he encountered places that were truly impassable, he either chose to take a detour or used a more energy-efficient method to jump over them.

Three days later, Jiang Yuchuan stopped in front of a cliff.

Beside the stream below the cliff, a tree that had not yet grown caught Jiang Yuchuan's eye.

If he's not mistaken, that tree should be a snake fruit tree!

The snake fruit that grows on the tree is an essential ingredient in the refining of the Wonderful Essence Pill!

The effect of the Myriad Essence Pill is similar to that of the Foundation Establishment Pill; both are pills used to increase the probability of foundation establishment.

Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is more potent than the Mystic Essence Pill, it requires far more and harder-to-find medicinal herbs, including some over a hundred years old. These are virtually impossible for Jiang Yuchuan to obtain at his current level. Therefore, considering all factors, the Mystic Essence Pill is more suitable for him now.

Encountering this snake fruit tree was quite an unexpected delight. Moreover, aged snake fruit is used in many medicinal elixirs!

Transplanting this snake fruit tree, which is not yet fully grown, into my spiritual pearl and carefully cultivating it will definitely be worthwhile!

With that thought in mind, Jiang Yuchuan immediately jumped down the cliff and arrived at the snake fruit tree in a few steps.

The snake fruit tree, as its name suggests, is loved by snakes in addition to monks.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Yuchuan approached, the colorful venomous snakes coiled around the tree immediately became alert, turning their heads towards him, flicking their tongues, and hissing warning sounds from time to time.

Jiang Yuchuan didn't pay much attention to this. With a wave of his hand, dozens of poisonous snakes on the tree were instantly blown away and fell into the stream beside him with a "pitter-patter".

After the interference was gone, Jiang Yuchuan used his divine sense to check the surroundings again. After confirming that there was no danger, he then uprooted the entire snakeskin fruit tree and planted it into the spirit pearl.

With this achievement, Jiang Yuchuan was in a very good mood and immediately quickened his pace, continuing to venture deeper into the area according to plan.

Since this mountain range can nurture snake-skin fruit trees, there is a very high probability that the Poria cocos grass he needs to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill will also grow here.

Two more days have passed.

At this moment, Jiang Yuchuan had arrived at the deepest part of the mountain range.

Although the journey was slow with frequent stops, Jiang Yuchuan still managed to collect a considerable amount of medicinal herbs, including several that were over a hundred years old!

At this moment, of the eight plots of land within the Spirit Pearl, only three remained empty; the remaining five had been filled with various medicinal herbs. The herbs in the first plot he planted were now surrounded by spiritual energy, transcending their ordinary state.

The reason these medicinal herbs were able to grow and transform so quickly was not only due to the watering with spiritual spring water, but also because of the wood-attribute spiritual energy that he inadvertently released when he meditated and cultivated near the fields every day.

That evening, after successfully unearthing a hundred-year-old ginseng, Jiang Yuchuan suddenly sensed the sounds of fierce fighting in the distance.

After confirming that there were no spiritual energy fluctuations at the location of the fight, Jiang Yuchuan immediately flew over.

In less than fifteen minutes, Jiang Yuchuan arrived at his destination. However, he did not reveal himself immediately, but instead leaped onto a nearby tree and began to observe discreetly.

The fighting below is between humans and wolves.

Although both sides suffered heavy losses, it is clear from the current situation that the wolf pack has gained a greater advantage and is in the lead.

These humans were all ordinary martial artists without any spiritual power, but the wolf king in the wolf pack, who was exceptionally large, contained a trace of spiritual energy.

Although this trace of spiritual energy was far from enough to transform it into a spirit beast, it was enough to amaze Jiang Yuchuan.

The reason why this wolf king is in such a state is clearly because it has consumed a spiritual object!

Upon closer inspection, Jiang Yuchuan indeed discovered a clue in the only human boy dressed in brocade robes.

To his surprise, the herb containing a trace of spiritual energy that the young man in brocade robes was carrying was actually the Poria cocos he had been searching for!

Just as Jiang Yuchuan was pondering whether to directly kill and seize the treasure, wait for the battle to end and reap the benefits, or rescue the boy, the wolf king, which had been watching from the sidelines and was poised to strike, finally couldn't resist making its move!

Seeing the wolf king suddenly attack, the five surviving people rushed to the side of the young man in brocade robes, protecting him in the middle and preventing the wolf king from getting any closer.

"Young master, we'll hold off these wolves while you seize the opportunity to leave!"

The speaker was a middle-aged man, who was also the most capable among the group.

"No! How can I just leave you all behind?! If we're going to leave, we should leave together!"

As soon as the young man in brocade finished speaking, he took out a golden bead, then his eyes hardened and he shot the bead at the wolf king.

Unexpectedly, the wolf king reacted extremely quickly. Sensing danger rapidly approaching, it immediately abandoned its attack and retreated.

However, the golden pearl was extremely powerful, and even when it exploded, it still caused damage to the wolf king.

After the explosion, everyone saw that the wolf king's left eye was charred black, and half of his face was covered in blood, which was quite horrifying.

"Oops!!"

Seeing that the golden bead thrown by the boy had not dealt a fatal blow to the wolf king, but instead injured and enraged it, the middle-aged man had a bad feeling and immediately used all his strength to attack the wolf king, intending to prevent the wolf king from getting close to the boy.

The remaining four were anxious, but they were being attacked by several wolves and were simply unable to spare any attention.

The wolf king's ferocity was fully unleashed after being injured. When it saw the middle-aged man rushing towards it, it immediately roared and opened its bloody mouth to bite him with all its might.

At this moment, the wolf king was much stronger than before in both speed and strength! So, as soon as they started fighting, the middle-aged man, who was already exhausted, immediately fell into a disadvantageous position. In a short while, the wolf king ripped open his chest with its sharp claws and sent him flying.

"—Uncle Wu!!"

The young man in brocade robes had eyes that were practically popping out of their sockets.

The moment the middle-aged man moved, he rushed forward as well. However, he was no match for the man's strength, and thus a step slower. This slight delay allowed him to be held back by the wolves that attacked him, and he could only watch helplessly as the middle-aged man was brutally killed by the wolf king's claws.

After dealing with the middle-aged man, the wolf king glanced at the young man in brocade robes, but did not rush over to him. Instead, he turned and pounced on the other four people who were being attacked by the wolf pack.

The four were already struggling against the well-coordinated attack of the wolf pack, and now with the wolf king joining the fray, their fate was predictable.

In almost a few breaths, the four of them died one after another under the wolf king's claws and bloody maw.

At this moment, the wolf king turned its gaze to the only remaining young man in brocade robes in the arena, raised its head and let out a long howl.

The wolves that were attacking the young man in brocade robes immediately retreated upon hearing the wolf king's howl, and together with the remaining wolves, they spread out into a circle, surrounding the young man in the middle.

Seeing the wolf pack surrounding him and the wolf king approaching him step by step, the young man in brocade robes glared angrily, his pale, blood-stained face showing no fear.

"Beast! I'll fight you!"

The young man in brocade roared and charged at the wolf king, raising his long sword.
