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

During this time, Li Changfeng came twice to inform him about the changes in the Medicine Sect.

Since the death of the Medicine Sect Leader and the two reclusive elders, there had been a few days of chaos. However, this old fellow had some tricks up his sleeve and managed to persuade another reclusive elder using unknown methods.

With two first-rate experts stepping forward, they reorganized the Medicine Sect within a few days and jointly elected a new Sect Leader.

Zhang Ling didn't care about these trivial matters, but Li Changfeng brought him an unexpected surprise. This person first invited him to join the Medicine Sect, but he flatly refused.

At this time, he was focused on cultivating immortality. He had no interest in participating in the mundane affairs of Jianghu sects.

However, Li Changfeng managed to get him the qualification of an inner disciple. With this person's connection, he could freely enter and exit the Medicine Sect's library, which contained martial arts manuals collected by generations of Medicine Sect experts.

Zhang Ling was indeed very interested in this.

It contained various martial arts, swordsmanship, saber techniques, internal energy methods, and external hardening techniques from different schools.

Besides martial arts, there were also a large number of medicine-related books.

This was the Medicine Sect's collection of over a hundred years, a genuine priceless treasure.

Regardless of their martial arts skills, every disciple of the Medicine Sect was a qualified doctor. These disciples could completely sit in clinics and provide medical consultations in major towns. Medical skills were the Medicine Sect's forte.

Since his strength greatly increased recently, Zhang Ling's spirit had become very good. He only needed to sleep for two hours a day to maintain energy throughout the day. He could basically memorize these books after reading them once or twice.

This greatly accelerated the speed of learning this knowledge. In half a month, he basically finished reading the Medicine Sect's collection.

Now that he had the immortal cultivation method, he lost interest in ordinary martial arts. Even first-rate martial artists were no longer in his eyes.

Zhang Ling was more interested in medical books and knowledge of medicinal herbs. He didn't want to become a doctor, but was planning for future cultivation.

There was also a spiritual herb illustrated book in the storage bag, which recorded hundreds of spiritual plants. These were not ordinary medicinal herbs, but spiritual medicines used by immortal cultivators.

Immortal cultivators could refine spiritual pills to break through their cultivation. If he could refine pills, his cultivation would be much faster.

Among the medical books, there were also some medicinal formulas that ordinary Medicine Sect disciples could not borrow.

However, with Li Changfeng's connection, Zhang Ling also read these formulas.

The formulas were for solving some difficult and complicated diseases, but some of them could also be used to assist cultivation.

Just like the Dragon Tiger Bone Breaking Soup he obtained at the Dragon Tiger Gate in Ming City, medicinal baths were also auxiliary means used by Medicine Sect disciples during cultivation.

After picking and choosing, Zhang Ling selected three good pill formulas: Jade Marrow Pill, Essence Nourishing Pill, and Yellow Dragon Pill.

The first two could assist second-rate martial artists in cultivation, and the last Yellow Dragon Pill was a pill to assist first-rate martial artists in cultivation.

With these three pill recipes, he could try to refine them.

In Zhang Ling's opinion, he could increase the gas mass in his body with medicinal baths before. These pills would definitely help the cultivation of the Thick Earth Technique and speed up the cultivation.

As for the precious medicinal materials needed for the pills, he had the mysterious beads to catalyze their growth, so he didn't need to worry at all.

Then he asked Li Changfeng to send more than a dozen copies of the required herbs and began to prepare the three kinds of pills.

The medicinal age of these herbs ranged from several years to thirty years, which was very precious.

Li Changfeng was also very tactful and did not ask about the use of these herbs.

...

In the next month, the three kinds of pills were prepared according to the formula.

During the preparation process, there were many failures, which cost a lot of medicinal materials and made Zhang Ling feel a little distressed.

However, with the accumulation of experience, the pills were still refined.

Of course, these refined pills could only be called pills. They were not real pills used by immortal cultivators.

In a month, more than thirty Jade Marrow Pills and Essence Nourishing Pills were prepared, and only seven or eight Yellow Dragon Pills were obtained.

After a few days of experimentation, all three pills could be used to assist the cultivation of the Thick Earth Technique. The assistance of Jade Marrow Pill and Essence Nourishing Pill was about the same.

The medicinal power of the Yellow Dragon Pill was too strong. Zhang Ling only took half a pill each time, and it took several days to refine the medicinal power.

There was also a feeling of swelling in the meridians, which showed the strength of the Yellow Dragon Pill's medicinal power.

In the next period of time, Zhang Ling began to cultivate with Jade Marrow Pill and Essence Nourishing Pill. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

"Qi Refining First Layer"

That day, Zhang Ling walked out of the bamboo house with a big laugh. Today, he finally broke through to the first layer of Qi Refining.

The spiritual power gas mass cultivated in the dantian has reached the size of a finger.

It doesn't look like much, but this group of spiritual power is thick and solid, containing strange energy. This is earth-attributed spiritual power.

Although the other group of spiritual power in the body is several times larger than the earth spiritual power.

But Zhang Ling felt that the group of spiritual power was loose, and the quality was not as condensed as the earth spiritual power.

After entering the first layer of Qi Refining, Zhang Ling officially stepped into the world of immortality and became an immortal cultivator.

Then he couldn't wait to look through the Elementary Spell Compendium. No one could resist the temptation of spells.

This book recording spells is a remnant copy. There are only five complete spells.

Spirit Eye Technique, Light Body Technique, Object Control Technique, Spirit Power Shield, and Wind Control Technique.

In addition to these five spells, the last few pages of Thick Earth Technique also recorded several earth-attributed spells.

There are Rockfall Technique, Rock and Earth Wall, Ground Trap Technique, Quicksand Technique, Ground Thrust, etc.

This exercise is very complete, it is a complete copy, and the spells above are more exquisite. And they are all earth-attributed spells, which seem to be more suitable for him.

However, it is impossible to chew more than you can swallow, Zhang Ling still practiced several elementary spells first.

The first to practice was the Spirit Eye Technique. The introduction of this spell is only a few sentences, and the main function is to observe spiritual power.

As long as there are things with spiritual power, both plants and animals can be observed.

It took a day for Zhang Ling to master this spell.

It's simple to say, this spell is just to transport spiritual power to the eyes to check spiritual power, and also to check the strength of other immortal cultivators. As long as the cultivation level is not much different, you can see the depth of the monk's spiritual power.

Zhang Ling also practiced the remaining spells. Except for the Light Body Technique, which can make people feel light and move several times faster.

The other spells are much more complicated. To practice, you also need to cooperate with specific formulas and handprints, which are obscure and profound.

The first time I came into contact with formulas and handprints, it seemed to contain some kind of true meaning, which was difficult to master in a short time.

Afterwards, Zhang Ling focused on the exercises, maybe these spells have requirements for cultivation.

With the help of pills, I practiced for several hours every day. In addition to the increase in spiritual power, the cultivation process is very boring.

Sit cross-legged every day, breathe and absorb the spiritual energy of the world, and refine the spiritual energy into your own mana.

After another half a month, Li Changfeng visited again that day.
