Seeking Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: From a Low-Ranking Corpse to an Eternal Demon God

Chapter 20: The Ape Ancestor, Collecting the Spirit Ape Bloodline

The sky gradually brightened.

The dark clouds dissipated.

On Green Ape Mountain, the monkeys and their offspring began to get busy. In the various training grounds in the mountains, most of them were practicing sets of fierce fist techniques, while a few were meditating on futons, facing the morning sun to cultivate their skills.

Wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys everywhere, creating a vibrant scene.

at this time.

In front of a quiet thatched courtyard nestled in the mountains.

The thatched hut was covered with a thick layer of snow, and the withered trees in the yard were also whitened by the snow.

In the main hall of the courtyard.

There was an old ape with green hair, wearing a loose white robe, sitting cross-legged in front of a pill-refining furnace that was no more than five or six feet tall. Beneath the furnace, a ball of green spiritual fire burned, turning the entire bottom of the furnace red-hot.

The heat emanating from the alchemy furnace made the whole room feel warm and cozy.

"Junior Lan Lingyu greets Senior Yuan."

"Junior Liu Ya greets Senior Yuan."

At this moment, Lan Lingyu and Lin Li, who had just entered the hall, bowed respectfully to the old ape and said something.

"No need for such formalities."

"Liu Ya, your elder Hu San Niang came by before and already told me about your situation. Now that you've come to my Green Ape Mountain, you can stay as long as you like."

"You can stay in one of the side rooms in my courtyard."

"As for you, Lan Lingyu, you can stay in other places in the mountains temporarily. After you leave, the mountain monkeys will take you to your residence. I will only take care of Liu Ya. If you want to stay in Qingyuan Mountain, you can't just lie around. You have to do some work."

Yuan Xiudao, the Ape Ancestor, kept his divine sense focused on the pills inside the alchemy furnace, but only spared a little attention to speak to Liu Ya and the other two.

"Yes, Ancestor!"

"Lingyu will definitely do her best in this matter."

Lan Lingyu bowed respectfully.

Then, Lan Lingyu's gaze fell on Lin Li, and after meeting Lin Li's eyes, she nodded gently.

The next moment, Lan Lingyu decisively got up and walked outside.

Lan Lingyu was already quite satisfied. She hadn't been driven away by the Foundation Establishment Grandmaster Ape Ancestor. Being able to stay on Green Ape Mountain meant she had survived the invasion of the Corpse Refining Sect.

Lan Lingyu knew very well that she owed Fox Mountain a great debt of gratitude once again.

Inside the hall.

Liu Ya sat quietly on the ground. Although he did not release his divine sense, he could still sense the rich spiritual energy permeating the surrounding void.

This Green Ape Mountain truly lives up to its reputation as a second-tier spiritual vein; its spiritual energy is many times more concentrated than that of the Fox Mountain cave.

If I cultivate here, my advancement time will be much faster.

I don't know how much time passed.

Yuan Xiudao, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the alchemy furnace, made several hand seals.

The alchemy furnace in front of him suddenly opened, and two pills flew out, each the size of a cherry, one pale red and the other grayish-white.

"Ugh."

Looking at the two pills in front of him, Yuan Xiudao felt somewhat disappointed. Normally, this pill could yield four to six pills, and although one of them had condensed into a pill, its grayish-white color meant it was a useless pill.

After putting the only pill into his pill gourd, Yuan Xiudao turned his gaze to Liu Ya, who had been sitting cross-legged and waiting for a long time.

Yuan Xiudao was very curious. Hu Sanniang had gone to such great lengths to bring this spirit fox to Qingyuan Mountain, so this spirit fox must be extraordinary.

Bloodline?

Or is it some kind of talent?

Or perhaps a spirit?

Yuan Xiudao remembered that he had promised Hu Sanniang that he would not do anything that would harm Liu Ya, but he had not said that he could not do anything that would benefit Liu Ya.

Let's start by exploring the bloodline.

"Liu Ya, my name is Yuan Xiudao, and I am your elder. This is our first meeting. This Spirit Blood Pill was personally refined by me, and it contains a wisp of my blood essence. It is a medium-grade spiritual pill that can consolidate cultivation and temper the spiritual body."

"If you take this now, I can help you digest the elixir and increase your cultivation!"

After Yuan Xiudao finished speaking, he took out a light red pill from one of the dozen or so yellow pill gourds on the side. A fragrance of the pill spread out, making the surrounding spiritual energy more active.

One glance was enough to tell that it was a rare and precious elixir.

"The vital energy and blood of a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"

Lin Li's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

The bloodline of a Foundation Establishment cultivator must be at least a second-tier bloodline to build a more solid foundation for their next life.

It certainly doesn't have a lower bloodline than the Four-Eared Fox.

"This junior thanks Senior Yuan for bestowing the elixir!"

Lin Li's face lit up with joy. He wrapped the pill in his spiritual power and swallowed it directly.

[Inclusion successful]

[Second-tier, lower-grade bloodline; Spirit-nurturing Wood Heart Ape!]

On the Reincarnation Disc, a green ape with an extraordinary aura instantly appeared. The ape was surrounded by vines and exuded a strong wood-type life force.

"As expected, it's a second-tier bloodline!"

This is the first second-tier bloodline we've included.

"As expected, these spiritual cultivators who have advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage all possess at least a second-tier bloodline."

Lin Li pondered to himself.

In this way, the concept of bloodline is almost the same as the spiritual root aptitude of human cultivators. Without a strong bloodline and spiritual root aptitude, it is basically hopeless to advance from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment.

boom!

After the elixir entered the body, its potent medicinal power permeated the limbs and bones.

The entire fox demon's body began to heat up.

Subsequently, Lin Li sensed a vast yet gentle force enveloping him, and began to guide the power of the pills within his body to refine them.

outside world.

A few steps away from Lin Li, Yuan Xiudao used his Foundation Establishment divine sense to help Lin Li refine the pill.

At the same time, he also used his own qi and blood to investigate Lin Li's bloodline level.

Second-tier bloodline!

"really…"

In the blink of an eye, Yuan Xiudao got the answer he wanted. He looked at the spirit fox in front of him, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

For over a hundred years, none of the many monkeys and their offspring on Green Ape Mountain have been able to produce a single monkey with a second-tier bloodline, while a spirit fox with a second-tier bloodline has been born on Fox Mountain.

Good luck fooling people!

Yuan Xiudao felt a slight sense of emotion.

This was pretty much what he had expected.

I don't know how much time passed.

The spiritual energy within Lin Li was finally completely refined.

"panel."

[Level 4 of Qi Refining (96/100)]

"The effects of this elixir are indeed remarkable."

Lin Li looked at the progress of his cultivation level on the panel and was in a good mood.

He had only recently broken through to the fourth level, and now with the help of this elixir, he would be able to advance to the fifth level of Qi Refining in just a few days.

"Liu Ya, you have quite the talent; you were able to refine the elixir so quickly."

"Do you have any suitable ritual implements?"

"And what kind of attribute is the cultivation technique you are practicing?"

Yuan Xiudao's attitude had softened considerably compared to before.

With this second-tier bloodline aptitude, and already nearly reaching the fifth level of Qi Refining at such a young age, considering the nearly two hundred years of lifespan of the Qi Refining Spirit Fox, Liu Ya has an extremely high chance of advancing to Foundation Establishment in the future.

This future Foundation Establishment cultivator has such a connection with us, and forming a good relationship with him will bring many benefits to the monkeys and their descendants on Green Ape Mountain in the future.

After all, Yuan Xiudao would eventually pass away, and there was no one left on Green Ape Mountain to carry the banner.
