After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

The group groped around, tapping here and there on the wall, until finally, through their persistent searching, they struck a protruding stone.

"Boom~"

A stone door opened, revealing a passageway wide enough for two people to pass through, which was also pitch black inside.

Because the light source was in Ling Lili's hands, Kong Bai and Ling Lili took the lead, Jin Haoyu and Bai Shu were in the middle, and Chi Yi and Hua Rongyi were at the end.

In the darkness, time always seems to pass slowly. After an unknown amount of time, Ling Lili suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "There's light ahead! It must be the exit!"

Ling Lili immediately walked quickly toward the light source, and the others followed quickly.

Jin Haoyu exclaimed, his mouth agape.

The others also looked shocked.

In their field of vision stood a towering tree! This tree was like a green castle, its dense branches and leaves like a giant parasol, blocking out the sky; its trunk, so thick that it would take ten adults to encircle it, seemed to be a bridge between the earth and the sky, bearing the vicissitudes of time.

The emerald green leaves shimmer with a crystal-clear luster, as translucent as jade, fresh and juicy, exuding a captivating and intense vitality.

Around the tree, countless fireflies danced, their faint yet enchanting light twinkling like stars, a breathtaking sight.

There was an opening at the top of the giant tree, through which sunlight streamed down, making it appear so sacred, and how insignificant they were in the face of the giant tree.

After a few moments of surprise, Ling Lili put away the fireball, and the group carefully observed their surroundings.

This cave is huge. Even though it's very old, you can still see the marks of human excavation. It looks like they hollowed out an entire mountain.

In the vast, empty cave, the only thing visible is that tree, which is a treasure.

The group approached the giant tree and circled it, but found nothing unusual.

Hua Rongyi spoke up: "Chi Yi, you have a wood spirit root, try communicating with it."

Chi Yi nodded, placed her hand on the tree trunk, closed her eyes, and communicated with the tree through her consciousness.

A moment later, Chi Yi opened her eyes, her gaze brightening with delight, and exclaimed, "This is the Tree of Life!"

Everyone was shocked: "Really?!"

Chi Yi nodded emphatically, appearing very excited.

Jin Haoyu raised his hand and gently touched the tree trunk with a look of fascination, as if afraid of hurting it.

"I never imagined I would actually see the legendary Tree of Life! I have no regrets about dying now! Master, fellow disciples, I, Jin Haoyu, have made something of myself!"

Ling Lili and the others shook their heads, unable to bear watching! How could a perfectly good sound engineer be so unprofessional!

"Legend has it that a single leaf from the Tree of Life can heal physical injuries, and its branches are excellent materials for crafting long magical artifacts. If one gains the approval of the heart of the Tree of Life, one can achieve immortality." Hua Rongyi told him everything he knew.

After hearing what he said, Jin Haoyu excitedly started breaking off tree branches.

"and many more……"

Before Chi Yi could finish speaking, a large, emerald-green snake darted out of the tree trunk and lunged at Jin Haoyu's hand with its mouth wide open.

"Be careful."

Kong Bai, who was not far from him, swung his palm and pushed Jin Haoyu away.

Jin Haoyu, who escaped from the snake's jaws, stared wide-eyed at the snake in the tree, still shaken.

This is a Green Mamba, which is highly poisonous. Judging from the aura it exudes, it is already a peak third-tier monster.

Its body was hunched over, its eyes fixed on Chi Yi and the others, its forked tongue flicking out from time to time with a hissing sound.

Chi Yi took out the Hundred Poison Pill and distributed it to everyone. The Hundred Poison Pill can cure all poisons. Just in case you get bitten, its venom is no joke, especially since it has reached the peak of the third rank, which is equivalent to the peak of the human Golden Core stage. It is only one step away from the fourth rank. If you do not take the antidote pill in time, you will probably die.

Several people and a snake were eyeing each other menacingly, and a great battle was about to break out.

Um... apart from Ling Lili, her aura is still there, but is that fearful swallowing gesture for real?

The Green Mamba sensed Ling Lili's fear and launched the first attack on her.

Before Ling Lili could retaliate, the people around her swarmed forward and confronted Green Mamba.

Hua Rongyi raised his hand and threw out several talismans, one of which was a stun talisman with a duration of half a quarter of an hour. Then came the ranged attacks from Jin Haoyu and Chi Yi, and finally Kong Bai unleashed a barrage of Vajra Fists on the Green Mamba's snake body.

Despite its protective scales, the Green Mamba was still attacked by the group, spraying spirit energy balls and venom everywhere.

Ling Lili immediately followed, using her whip to wrap around the green mamba's mouth to prevent it from opening its mouth to spit venom or spew spirit energy balls, and then slamming its head to the ground with a left-right slam and a right-right slam.

The immobilization charm failed, and the green mamba's huge tail pushed everyone apart, breaking free from Ling Lili's whip and turning to flee.

Now that it's out, we naturally won't let it out again, letting it come out to interfere with us from time to time. Of course, we have to kill it with one blow.

Bai Shu, who had just joined them, then witnessed this scene.

A snake was frantically fleeing ahead, occasionally attacking from behind, while five people chased after it and fought it.

Wait, are peak third-tier demonic beasts really that weak? Should she still go and help them?

Suddenly, a ball of spiritual energy that a green mamba, which was a little distance away, spat out almost hit her, and for some reason, her anger flared up instantly.

"You beast, how dare you provoke me! Take this!" She brandished her golden needles and attacked the Green Mamba.

Half an hour later, the six people divided up the Green Mamba's corpse. Ling Lili was afraid of snakes, so she didn't want the snake's corpse at all. Therefore, she was given the snake's demon core, and the snake gall, which had the most medicinal value, was given to Bai Zhu.

Bai Shu originally thought she was just a minor character who would at most get some meat or something, but she never expected it to be snake gall.

The main reason is that it's useless to other people, and it would be a waste to use it for alchemy. It's better to give it to her, as it can play a greater role in her hands, and it also allows her to compete with them with peace of mind.

All five of them felt that Bai Shu had been very quiet since joining them, as if she didn't fit in. This made it easier for her to get to know the others better.

After killing the Green Mamba and dividing the spoils, different scores appeared on the jade tokens of the remaining people.

Atractylodes macrocephala: 100

Ling Lili: 100

Chi Yi, Kong Bai, Hua Rongyi, and Jin Haoyu are all born in 80.

The six of them returned to the Tree of Life. Jin Haoyu couldn't wait to break off a branch again, but suddenly a green light pushed him several meters away, causing him to fall to the ground with a thud.

"Huh? What's going on?" Jin Haoyu asked, puzzled.

Hua Rongyi pondered for a moment, then said, "It seems that the Tree of Life has another layer protecting it. As long as we don't harm it, we'll be fine."

As he spoke, he condensed a ball of spiritual energy in his hand and threw it at the Tree of Life. Sure enough, it bounced back just before it touched the Tree of Life, and its power was even stronger.
