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

Just as Yuan Xiang and his two companions thought that the white serpent would attack them immediately after dealing with the black bear, and that they were all prepared to die, the white serpent suddenly twisted its body and disappeared into the dense forest, never once glancing at them.

After a moment of shock, Yuan Xiang, who was seriously injured, was the first to regain his senses and weakly smiled:

"It seems that the three of us siblings have escaped this calamity today. As the saying goes, 'Those who survive a great calamity are sure to have good fortune later.' It seems that our godfather will definitely recover this time!"

"Brother, stop talking! Be careful of your injury!"

As Xiang Yunshu spoke, she immediately took out several kinds of pills and gave them to Yuan Xiang.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Hao transferred his internal energy to Yuan Xiang in an attempt to temporarily stop his injuries.

Ji Hao then said to Xiang Yunshu, who was standing beside him, "Little sister, I'm enough for your brother. Go and dig out the Nine-Bearded Wild Ginseng. Once my injuries have healed, let's take it and leave!"

"it is good!"

After retrieving the tools scattered nearby, Xiang Yunshu immediately set off.

Fortunately, the battle with the black bear did not affect this wild ginseng with nine whiskers.

Just as Xiang Yunshu finished digging up the ginseng, Ji Hao was helping Yuan Xiang walk over.

Yuan Xiang said, "Let's go! We shouldn't stay here any longer. The lingering smell of blood will attract countless wild beasts."

Without further delay, the three washed off the bloodstains by the stream and immediately set off.

Unbeknownst to Yuan Xiang and his companions, their every move was being watched by the large white snake that had just saved them from the black bear's jaws.

At this moment, the large white snake was coiled on a crooked tree growing at an angle on the cliff face of the valley. Its size was dozens of times smaller than before, only as thick as an arm and a little over half a zhang long.

If you look closely, you can also find a large, golden beetle crawling on a leaf near the white snake.

This beast and insect were Xiao Qing and Xiao Gu, whom Jiang Yuchuan had released to roam freely.

Xiao Gu was a name Jiang Yuchuan specially gave to the Longevity Gu, to signify that it had officially joined the cultivation family headed by Jiang Yuchuan.

Yuan Xiang and his two companions were attacked by a black bear when they were in trouble. It was Xiao Gu Xian who discovered this and ran to summon Xiao Qing.

Furthermore, in the six months or so that Jiang Yuchuan had allowed this beast and insect to roam freely, they had already saved several groups of people who had ventured deep into the Hundred Thousand Mountains for various reasons.

Of course, they don't save just anyone.

Although Xiaogu is weak, due to her special abilities, she is able to keenly perceive the good and evil of humans within a certain range.

Therefore, the humans that it and Xiaoqing saved were basically forced to venture into the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and they never did anything particularly heinous.

They simply don't bother with those wicked people who are greedy and have bad intentions from the start, letting them fend for themselves.

Even so, there were still quite a few people who were saved.

Soon, the story of a white snake performing good deeds and saving people deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains spread to the nearby villages and cities.

As time passed, more and more people were saved, and the story of the white serpent saving people began to spread more and more widely, gradually evolving into a legend with mythological elements.

The protagonist of the story, Xiaoqing, was initially given the honorific title of "White Snake Lady" and regarded as a snake immortal who cultivated in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The villagers, especially those in the towns and villages possessed by the Ten Thousand Mountains, had a deep faith in this White Snake Lady.

For these villagers who rely on the mountains for their livelihood, the appearance of a snake spirit that can provide protection in times of danger is something to be very happy about.

It is unclear when it started, but whenever these villagers prepare to go into the Ten Thousand Mountains for picking or hunting, they will first burn incense and pray at the foot of the mountains the day before, kneeling and worshipping devoutly, asking the White Snake Goddess to bless them with a safe journey and a bountiful harvest.

Little Green was unaware of what was happening outside. It continued to roam the Hundred Thousand Mountains with Little Valley every day, like a mountain tyrant, picking off all the powerful beasts. If it encountered any precious herbs, Little Green would bring them back and present them to Jiang Yuchuan as if to show off its merits.

But such times are rare, because neither Xiaoqing nor Xiaogu have much knowledge of herbs. They can only perceive the rare, high-quality herbs that are ancient and have extremely strong medicinal properties. To them, the rest are no different from wild grasses growing everywhere.

Spring comes and goes, and in the blink of an eye, Jiang Yuchuan has been staying in the Shiwan Mountains, where spring reigns all year round, for nearly two years.

In the past two years, apart from cultivation, Jiang Yuchuan spent almost all his time gathering herbs and refining pills.

Jiang Yuchuan had already filled all seventy-two medicinal fields within the Spirit Pearl Space.

In order to continue cultivating medicinal herbs, Jiang Yuchuan specially cleared out a plot of land of about two acres near the cave he had opened up.

In order to allow the medicinal herbs planted there to grow as quickly as possible and develop spiritual energy, Jiang Yuchuan specially set up a spirit-gathering array to cover them. Moreover, when watering them, he also used diluted spiritual spring water.

As for why they weren't irrigated directly with spiritual spring water, it's because these herbs are all ordinary. If they were to be accelerated with undiluted spiritual spring water, although it would allow them to mature at the fastest speed, their potential would be greatly depleted during this rapid growth process, resulting in a significant reduction in their spiritual essence.

Medicinal herbs with greatly diminished spiritual energy are difficult to refine into top-grade pills.

This is not the effect Jiang Yuchuan is looking for, and he has plenty of time, so there is absolutely no need for him to do this.

Although Jiang Yuchuan was engrossed in this pursuit every day, he did not forget to nurture Xiaoqing and Xiaogu.

The process of nurturing them is actually quite simple. When the insect and beast return from their frenzy, you can feed them pills or spiritual energy as needed, which takes almost no time.

Unlike other demonic beasts, this beast and insect did not cultivate diligently, but under the nourishment of Jiang Yuchuan's pills and spiritual power, they made rapid progress.

After absorbing the demonic power of the pill, Xiaoqing's strength successfully increased by two minor levels, reaching the late stage of the third level; while Xiaogu even leaped to the early stage of the second level.

After breaking through, Xiao Gu officially possessed the abilities and skills of a demon beast.

This ability is also related to its name, "immortality".

Through a brief experiment, Jiang Yuchuan immediately understood how Xiao Gu used this skill.

To put it bluntly, it's a castrated version of Jiang Yuchuan's "Spirit Transformation Technique," which can only absorb the life force of humans weaker than itself and feed it back to its master, thereby delaying the master's aging and death.

However, the drawbacks of this method of absorbing life force are also quite obvious.

Jiang Yuchuan's Spirit Transformation Technique can be used on any object, and the life force absorbed is the purest, without any impurities.

But Xiao Gu's method is different. During the absorption process, it also absorbs some of the user's own emotions and vitality.

Over time, when these emotions accumulate to a certain point, they will all erupt.

At that time, the person entangled in a variety of emotions, if lacking a strong will and resilient mental strength, will instantly become a slave to their emotions and a complete madman.

It is clear that Xiao Gu's skill, which is something that others would covet, is useless in Jiang Yuchuan's eyes.

However, Jiang Yuchuan never expected Xiao Gu to help him in any other way. After successfully finding the wood-attribute spirit, Jiang Yuchuan no longer expected it to do anything for him. He simply raised it as a mascot-like spirit pet.
