Chronicles of the Green Vine: A Mortal’s Path to Immortality

Seeing this, Zhang Ling's face showed an uncertain look. The probability of 10% was still very attractive to him.

For sect disciples, out of a hundred disciples at the peak of Qi refining, only three or four can successfully establish their foundation. But for Foundation Establishment cultivators who want to form a core, there may not be even one out of a hundred who can succeed.

This probability is despairing. With his three spiritual roots aptitude, it will definitely not be easy for him to condense a golden core. Even if he has a mysterious pearl that can accelerate the growth of spiritual herbs, pills that can increase the probability of forming a core are not non-existent, but they are almost extinct.

The Chongyuan Pill can increase the success rate of forming a core by 10%, which is simply a great opportunity for cultivators who practice this technique.

These three cultivation methods are all from the first and third categories. Zhang Ling directly skipped the second type, which didn't have any secret techniques or supernatural powers.

After all, he has a heaven-defying treasure like the mysterious little pearl. Choosing a technique without any power would be a complete waste of this treasure.

For a moment, Zhang Ling was caught in a dilemma. After struggling for half an hour, he secretly gritted his teeth, picked up the book of "Qian Tu Gong(乾土功: Qian Tu Gong: Dry Earth Skill)", and turned to walk out of the stone cave.

At the entrance of the cave, the puppet cyan ape stood upright, motionless. Zhang Ling took the book of Qian Tu Gong(乾土功: Qian Tu Gong: Dry Earth Skill) and came to the front of the puppet.

"Senior, this disciple has chosen the cultivation method."

He shouted loudly. After waiting for a few breaths, the puppet cyan ape moved. Its wooden arm lifted and grabbed the cultivation method in his hand.

The cyan ape puppet flashed a few times with spiritual light in its large hand and broke the restriction on the book. The book recording Qian Tu Gong(乾土功: Dry Earth Skill) turned into a yellow spiritual light, with runes flashing on it.

After a while, a fist-sized yellow spiritual light group condensed on the book. The light on it contracted and expanded, slowly converging and gathering into light characters the size of ants, floating around.

The yellow light flickered like golden fireflies flying up and down. Zhang Ling was very stunned!

Suddenly, the cyan ape puppet raised its hand and pointed at Zhang Ling. The yellow light group floated over his head and drilled into his head.

As soon as the light group entered his body, his head sank instantly. Immediately afterward, Zhang Ling's face twisted, and a stabbing pain came from his head.

Fortunately, this pain was very short-lived. It only lasted for a short time, and his body only shook a few times before he stood firm again.

The cyan ape puppet threw its big hand, and the spiritual light reappeared on the Qian Tu Gong(乾土功: Dry Earth Skill) book, and then flew into the stone cave.

"Okay, the cultivation method has been taught. Boy, remember that the cultivation methods here are absolutely not allowed to be spread. If discovered, it will be considered a betrayal of the sect."

The cold voice of the cyan ape puppet suddenly came from his ear. Zhang Ling quickly responded, and then, under the leadership of the puppet, he left the library using the teleportation array.

In the following day, he did not return to Qingwu Valley(青雾谷: Qingwu Valley: Blue Mist Valley), but took out the map of the sect and looked for a suitable location to open a cave dwelling.

Soon, he opened up a simple cave dwelling in a low hill in the northern part of the Haoyang Mountains. There were no other cultivators' cave dwellings nearby.

The low mountain only had a low-grade spiritual vein. The concentration of spiritual power was similar to that of the mountain peaks where the outer disciples were located. No Foundation Establishment cultivator could take a fancy to this place.

Zhang Ling opened up a cave dwelling here, mainly because it looked like a secret location, and his cultivation was mostly assisted by elixirs, so he didn't have any requirements for spiritual veins.

As for why he opened up a cave dwelling now, it was naturally because he didn't want to deal with Wei Shen(魏深), his master.

Although he is now a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Haoyuan Sect, the sect's restrictions on him are already very small. He can leave the sect now.

But he can't guarantee that he can get rid of Wei Shen(魏深) by leaving the sect. It's more dangerous outside. There are many high-level cultivators in the Haoyuan Sect(昊元宗).

With these cultivators present, even if Wei Shen(魏深) wanted to harm him, he would not dare to do so openly. If he attracted the sect's experts, he would not feel good either.

As for telling the head or the sect's experts about his predicament, this is also not feasible. Wei Shen(魏深)'s strength has already reached the Pseudo-Core stage, and he has a chance to break through to the Golden Core stage.

This kind of strength is also rare among the sect's Foundation Establishment cultivators. The higher-ups of the Haoyuan Sect(昊元宗) would not listen to his side of the story, and they probably wouldn't be able to do anything to this person. Therefore, he is now in a dilemma.

How to get rid of Wei Shen(魏深) is what he needs to consider, but he doesn't have a good solution now. He can only take it one step at a time.

After spending several hours opening up the cave dwelling, Zhang Ling quickly sat on the stone bed and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.

For a whole day, he finally finished receiving all the information about the Qian Tu Gong(乾土功: Qian Tu Gong: Dry Earth Skill).

This cultivation method has six levels. The first level is used to transform the spiritual power in the body. The condition for cultivation is also the early stage of Foundation Establishment. The second level to the sixth level are the real cultivation formulas.

It also corresponds to the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the middle stage of Golden Core. There is also a lot of information behind, recording the cultivation methods of several auxiliary pills and several secret techniques.

In the next month, Zhang Ling devoted himself to cultivating the first level of the Qian Tu Gong(乾土功: Dry Earth Skill) in the small courtyard.

A month later, the earth spiritual power in his body became more condensed. At this time, his spiritual power had been transformed into the thick earth true essence of the Qian Tu Gong(乾土功: Dry Earth Skill).

Inside the cave, Zhang Ling took a deep breath, suddenly stretched out his right hand, and a yellow light flashed. A circle of yellow flames appeared in his hand and burned slowly.

This is the congenital true fire of the Foundation Establishment cultivator.

After entering the Foundation Establishment stage, the spiritual power in the body is generally called true essence. Moreover, after entering the Foundation Establishment stage, the true essence in the dantian condenses, giving birth to the congenital true fire.

True fire is also a symbol of Foundation Establishment cultivators. Congenital true fire is much stronger than ordinary flames. It is not an ordinary flame, nor is it a spiritual fire, but a manifestation of a cultivator's strong essence, qi, and spirit. True fire can not only be used to fight against the enemy, but also to refine pills and refine weapons.

Until two months later, when his cultivation was almost consolidated, Wei Shen(魏深) finally sent him a message talisman.

From then on, he was even more convinced that this person had left a mark on his divine sense and could accurately know his location.

Zhang Ling then scanned his body over and over again with all his divine sense, but he still did not find anything unusual. Nor did he find any mark.

I don't know what method this old ghost used. If he doesn't solve this hidden danger, he won't be able to escape far.

……

Two days later, Zhang Ling still came to his master's cave dwelling.

"Good, not bad, you really didn't disappoint me."

Wei Shen(魏深) showed great joy when he saw him coming, without asking why he didn't return to Qingwu Valley(青雾谷: Qingwu Valley: Blue Mist Valley).

"This is also thanks to the master's cultivation."

Zhang Ling replied with his head down. Now that he has advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, looking at this person again, he feels even more unfathomable.

He is wavering about whether the several life-saving methods he has prepared will have any effect on this person.

"Prepare yourself, in three days, we will leave the sect."

"Leave the sect."

Zhang Ling frowned, with a bad feeling, but he still asked with a broad-minded attitude.

"I wonder where the master plans to go, so that the disciple can make some preparations."

"You will naturally know when you get there. As long as you help me get what I need, you will naturally get a lot of benefits."

Could it be that this person really wants him to take something and has no other thoughts?

Zhang Ling began to think wildly.
