Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 141 The Struggle for the Path, The Poisoning Incident
The reason why the Thousand Transformations Ancestor came here was because of Mo Linglong's matter.

Even the Thousand Transformations Ancestor could only do his best to help Mo Linglong with her injuries; everything depended on their individual destinies.

However, while Mo Linglong may have no enemies in this life, it's hard to say what happened in her previous life.

Most importantly, when a cultivator comprehends the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, if their path is the main trunk of a certain Great Dao, they may be able to proceed smoothly. However, if their path is a branch of a certain Great Dao, they may encounter conflicts with other cultivators.

The Xuanxian Dao Fruit that Mo Linglong possesses is the metal element of the Five Elements. The metal element is further divided into [Dispersed Metal], [Preserved Metal], [Xin Metal], [Nature Metal], and [Geng Metal]. Mo Linglong possesses a branch of the [Dispersed Metal] Dao Fruit.

If someone else is also on the path of [Dispersed Gold], they will naturally have a conflict with Mo Linglong... The Thousand Transformations Ancestor even suspects that the problem with Mo Linglong's physical body may be a conspiracy by the person she is fighting with.

Unexpectedly, just as Mo Linglong was about to overcome her past life memories and obtain a considerable portion of the Xuanxian Dao Fruit, some people in the west couldn't sit still anymore.

Suddenly, a figure flew in from the western Lunzhou. This person was wearing armor and riding a golden giant sword. The golden flames burning all over his body seemed to burn through the clouds.

"Golden Flame Divine General!" The Thousand Transformations Ancestor's expression changed.

He originally intended to capture the newcomer and try to investigate the truth behind Mo Linglong's faked death, but he never expected that the newcomer would be the world-renowned Golden Flame General.

"The Golden Flame God General is a god of strength. If we were to truly fight him, we would have to control the celestial puppet brought from the Heavenly Court!"

Before ascending to immortality, the Thousand Transformations Ancestor left behind many mechanical puppets and treasures in Thousand Transformations Town. After ascending, he did not rest but gathered all his life's skills to create a celestial puppet.

In an instant, a figure twelve feet tall appeared in the clouds. It was wearing a wooden battle armor and holding a wooden spear. After taking a few steps down, a celestial deity image more than ten feet tall, made of wood energy, appeared behind it.

Just as the Thousand Transformations Ancestor was preparing for battle, the Golden Flame General in the distance suddenly sighed and then said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Craftsman, do not be anxious. This deity has come here with no ill intentions!"

As he said this, the Golden Flame God General voluntarily put away the huge divine sword beneath his feet, and then relied on his powerful spiritual energy to walk through the air.

"No ill intent?" The Thousand Transformations Ancestor's heart stirred, but he still did not let his guard down.

Ultimately, it was because the Golden Flame God General was too powerful. If the opponent suddenly attacked, even the Thousand Transformations Ancestor wouldn't dare say he could withstand a single move from the Golden Flame God General without the protection of the Heavenly God Puppet.

Fortunately, the Golden Flame General didn't press the matter further. After stopping a thousand feet away, he sighed, "It seems my aunt hasn't remembered anything about the Golden Mountain Sect..."

Jinshan Sect is the number one Xuanmen sect in Lunzhou, and it is also the place that cultivated the Golden Flame Divine General.

"Master?"

The Thousand Transformations Ancestor did know some things about the Golden Flame Divine General.

The Golden Flame God General cultivated into a God of Strength at the age of fifty. Although he was incredibly powerful, he remained in seclusion to cultivate.

It wasn't until the Golden Flame God General was over ninety years old and had cultivated into a Xuanxian that he left the mountain and joined the lineage of the White Emperor.

More than ten years ago, when the evil spirits were eradicated, the Earthly Fiend Demons, which were originally only at the level of divine weapons, became a huge evil spirit at the level of divine generals after absorbing the blood, flesh and souls of countless living beings.

At that time, even if the God-King intervened, he could only suppress and seal the enormous demon, and then slowly wear down the demon's power.

Who would have thought that the Golden Flame General would display such extraordinary abilities, using his brute force to slay the Earthly Fiends and become famous throughout the world.

According to the legend, the Golden Flame God was at least 150 years old at this time.

Mo Linglong was born ninety-six years ago. Perhaps before Mo Linglong's reincarnation, the Golden Flame God General was already a God of Strength...

The Golden Flame General's flames extinguished, revealing his crimson metal armor. He sighed, "The Way of Scattered Gold is one of the fundamental paths of my Golden Mountain Sect. My master mastered the Way of Scattered Gold, but could not attain immortality for a long time, so he took me as his disciple..."

"My aunt was the most talented. She learned the [Dispersing Gold] technique and thus became a Xuanxian."

"However, my aunt's path of cultivation has reached a bottleneck. Even after exhausting all methods, she is still stuck at a certain stage of Qi Refining and ultimately has no choice but to reincarnate and start over..."

"We didn't know where our aunt had been reincarnated until a few years ago when the mechanical sorcerer of Qianbian Town went to inquire about the City God's Spirit Realm in Bintie County, Lunzhou. That's when we had a glimmer of hope and followed the clues to find out about our aunt's reincarnation."

"At that time, two voices emerged within the sect."

"Some people, seeing that the nun is unlikely to be resurrected, wish for her to die so that the [Scattered Gold] Blade could continue to be passed down..."

"We, however, clung to the last glimmer of hope that our aunt could be successfully resurrected and return to the Golden Mountain Sect to become a successor elder."

"After arguing for a long time, the sect finally asked us not to interfere with our master's resurrection, saying that success or failure was up to fate."

"When my aunt's physical body left Thousand Changes Town, we noticed it and have been keeping an eye on her ever since."

"Only now, with the prospect of my master's resurrection in sight, and the sect's orders finally becoming ineffective, have I come from Lunzhou to discuss my master's future..."

Just as there is a specific position for every god, the same applies to the transmission of the Dao.

Because of Mo Linglong's existence, the inheritance of the [Scattered Gold] technique is left vacant. Even if one can comprehend its mysteries, it will only result in a few more spells, and one cannot use this path to become an immortal.

The path of cultivation is limited, so many disciples of sects either seek other paths, open up new paths, or wait for a gap in the path of cultivation to be filled.

However, basically every path of cultivation has a corresponding Dao seed, and some cultivators, even with a powerful background, still cannot be selected for a specific path of cultivation.

As a result, there was a great deal of dissent within the Golden Mountain Sect, and the Golden Flame Divine General could only choose to remain on the sidelines and leave Mo Linglong's life and death to fate.

"I see..." Ancestor Qianbian nodded, indicating his understanding.

All things in heaven and earth are nothing more than the Five Elements and Yin and Yang. The Way of Yin and Yang is controlled by the Sun Emperor and the Moon Emperor, and the twenty-five major paths of the Five Elements are completely controlled by the Xuanmen sects of the world.

Therefore, if people in the world want to attain enlightenment and become immortals, they must either join the Xuanmen (mystical sect) or start from outside the Five Elements and Yin-Yang.

The Thousand Transformations Ancestor developed the Mechanism based on the Wood Virtue Path, which is why he was valued by the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Works, the "Winter God." Now, he has not only become a Heavenly Craftsman, but is also highly regarded.

Since the Wood Path can open up a mechanism, the Metal Path is also highly anticipated. Since the Thousand Transformations Ancestor himself has limited talent, he can only place his hopes on his descendants.

By the fourth generation of the Thousand Machine Elder, metal mechanical puppets had become a standard feature, and both "Heavenly Craftsman" and "Swordsman" were top-quality puppets worthy of praise.

However, because of his daughter Mo Linglong, the Thousand Machines Elder turned his attention from the Golden Virtue to the strange path of half flesh and blood and half spiritual weapon. The Thousand Transformations Ancestor could only place his hopes on the fifth generation patriarch, the sixth generation patriarch, and Mo Linglong.

When Mo Linglong developed health problems, she was only thirteen years old, so she was naturally not the fifth generation head of the Mo family.

However, Mo Linglong possessed the Xuanxian Dao Fruit, which was prevalent under the Metal Deity, and thus became the most promising successor in the eyes of the Thousand Transformations Ancestor to open up the path of mechanisms with the Metal Deity.

So, the Thousand Transformations Ancestor shook his head and smiled: "Golden Flame Divine Lord, since the Golden Mountain Sect has been watching Linglong's resurrection plan from the sidelines, now that Linglong is about to be resurrected, why bother her?"
"Moreover, Linglong has not cultivated a true spirit. Although she has inherited the legacy of her previous life, she is not the same person she was in her previous life. Do you think Linglong would abandon the foundation of Qianbian Town and go to Jinshan Sect to become a so-called elder of inheritance?"

"Moreover, General Jin Yan, you may only be using the [Scattered Gold] path as a means to cultivate the path of the God of Strength. However, there are definitely people in the Golden Mountain Sect who do not want Linglong to become an immortal through the [Scattered Gold] path."

"Golden Flame General, can you be absolutely certain that Linglong will receive the best cultivation resources, the best cultivation environment, and the best living conditions after she goes to the Golden Mountain Sect?" In the end, even if Mo Linglong regains her memories of her past life, few of her acquaintances will still be alive after she returns to the Golden Mountain Sect.

In Qianbian Town of Yuzhou, Mo Linglong not only has her father, the Old Man Qianji, still alive, but also a group of junior brothers and sisters and friends from Jinfeng County...

The Golden Flame God General remained silent for a long time before finally exhaling a breath of turbid air: "The Heavenly Craftsman is right. If I insist on bringing my master's reincarnation back to the Golden Mountain Sect, it will not do her much good..."

The Golden Flame God knew that although his talent for the Insightful Realm was good, it was not as good as the talent for the Power God. If he focused his energy on the Insightful Realm, he would be picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.

As a result, the Golden Flame God General currently only wants to reach the end of his vision in the path of the God of Strength. If it weren't for the fact that Mo Linglong took good care of him in her previous life, he would not have intervened in the affairs of the sect.

So, the Golden Flame God General merely glanced down before turning and leaving.

“Heavenly Craftsman, my aunt’s reincarnation remains in Thousand Changes Town. I can only do my best to protect the immortals of Lunzhou. If any villains come from elsewhere, we can only rely on the Heavenly Craftsman lineage!”

Upon hearing this, the Thousand Transformations Ancestor said with some emotion, "Divine General, rest assured, Linglong is not only my junior, but also the person I have the most faith in. It is not impossible for her to become a divine official in the Ministry of Works of the Heavenly Court alongside me in the future!"

……

On the square of the City God Temple in Jinfeng County, with the help of many people, Mo Linglong finally refined the Xuanxian Dao Fruit from her previous life into her physical body, and her realm reached an extremely profound level.

Back then, Mo Linglong only had problems with her cultivation; she simply couldn't digest the vast and profound principles, which is why she almost suffered brain death.

As a result, even though Mo Linglong absorbed all the Xuanxian Dao Fruits in her brain, it was still not complete, and she had only reached the near-immortal realm.

However, even though Mo Linglong's realm has reached the near-immortal level, her cultivation level is only at the initial stage of the Cave Profound Realm. She still needs some time to accumulate enough cultivation.

Yan Tianchou then analyzed: "With the help of the Ice Altar and the Earth Yin Spirit, Mo Linglong's physical body has thawed, but the Dao traces left by the Earth Treasure Spirit Root in her body have not yet dissipated and are constantly absorbing the Yin cold energy of the night."

"Currently, Mo Linglong needs to bathe in sufficient earth yang energy and even heaven yang energy during the day, and at night she needs to continue to have the earth yin spirit use the ice altar to pull out the Dao trace [root of the disease]."

"According to calculations, it will take Mo Linglong at least seven or eight days to fully recover her physical strength..."

During the day, the earth's yang energy is everywhere, but the heavenly yang energy needs to be more than a hundred feet above the ground to reach a certain standard concentration.

Fortunately, Su Ji was not only able to personally use his innate profound technique, [Deflection Profound Realm], to gather the celestial yang energy in the sky, but he could also obtain some from the Yang Lord of the Great Sun Spirit Realm.

After much deliberation, Su Ji chose a compromise: to have the Earthly Yang Serpent Lord lend a hand by helping Mo Linglong, the forger of the large-scale eccentric spirit realm, to swallow the weather.

Just as Su Ji was pondering, the girl with completely white hair opened her eyes, stared blankly for a few moments, and then suddenly shed a few tears.

This scene brought tears of joy to the old man Qianji. After more than eighty years of hard work, he had finally resurrected his daughter, Mo Linglong.

Yan Tianchou said, "According to the scan analysis, Mo Linglong's central nervous system is damaged. Even if the root cause of the disease can be removed, she will at least suffer from hemiplegia..."

Hemiplegia, also known as paralysis of one side of the body, is a serious condition, but compared to a failed attempt to revive, it is considered a very good outcome.

Immediately, Su Ji felt the foresight of the Thousand Machines Elder: "Now that Mo Linglong has become a half-flesh, half-spirit artifact, she has also gained a different kind of nervous system..."

As expected, even though Mo Linglong's body had just "thawed," it slowly began to move. After about a hundred breaths, Mo Linglong was able to move again.

At this moment, Yan Tianchou brought up another matter: "The Winter God's earth-treasure spiritual root is indeed miraculous. It managed to freeze Mo Linglong without harming her flesh and blood cells..."

"Such a counterintuitive result probably stems from a mysterious principle that prevents water from freezing into ice crystals..."

"If this precious earth-treasure spiritual root were used to freeze ordinary humans, perhaps an alternative form of immortality could be achieved..."

The pseudo-ascended beings of the Cai family who dedicated their souls and consciousness to the large water vein spiritual realm were merely extending their lifespan in a disguised form through slumber.

The wintersweet tree, a precious spiritual root, can freeze not only the physical body but also the soul, thus serving as a form of indirect longevity.

However, Su Ji had no interest in such methods. With his current cultivation progress, he had no need for them to prolong his life. He should just focus on cultivating to the best of his ability!
……

"Fellow Daoist Jin, Fellow Daoist Mo, is this weather warm enough?"

Early in the morning, the Earthly Serpent Lord flew into the sky, and after using the flowing clouds to remove the protective energy from the weather, he sprayed a whole mass of weather towards the Mo family's villa.

Mo Linglong lay on the bamboo recliner, enjoying the long-awaited sunbathing while breathing in the stale air of the mortal world, without saying a word.

"Three more points!" With the Earth Yang Serpent Lord as free labor, Su Ji also prepared to take the opportunity to cultivate and refine the Earth Yang Qi into magic power.

At Su Ji's current cultivation speed, it will only take him four or five months to reach the level of a Grandmaster of the Cave Profound Realm.

Seven days passed quietly. Mo Linglong finished her recuperation in Jinfeng County, but showed no intention of returning to Qianbian Town.

At first, Su Ji didn't think too much about it, only assuming that Mo Linglong was preparing to help him refine a large-scale deflecting spiritual weapon in Jinfeng County.

Unexpectedly, in addition to delivering a large amount of equipment, Qianbian Town also sent more than a dozen Mo family disciples who bought three courtyards nearby at a high price.

Most importantly, Thousand Changes Town even brought in seven high-grade mechanical puppets, practically turning the Mo Family Villa into an impregnable fortress.

The old man then subtly said to Mo Linglong and Su Ji, "From now on, Linglong, continue your cultivation in Jinfeng County for a while, and return to Qianbian Town when the time is right..."

For a moment, Su Ji couldn't help but have some suspicions.

Fortunately, Mo Linglong stayed in Thousand Changes Town, which saved him from running around everywhere, so it was a good thing.

More than half a month passed in this way. Mo Linglong spent two hours every day refining large-scale deflecting spiritual artifacts with Su Ji, and the task was already one-third complete.

Every day, Mo Linglong ate meals specially prepared by Laifu Restaurant and drank water made from melted ice, which was absolutely perfect.

However, just as Su Ji was getting used to this kind of life, Yan Tianchou's clone, who was in charge of Laifu Restaurant, suddenly flew to the Mo family's villa.

Since the Taibai Dragon Clan announced their return to Qili Lake, Su Ji thought that since the Zhang family courtyard was guarded by swordsmen, he transported the Golden Toad clone to Laifu Restaurant to oversee the operation.

Now, the Yantianchou clone within the Golden Toad's body suddenly flew over, causing Su Ji's expression to change.

As expected, Yan Tianchou's clone said in a serious tone, "There's a problem with the food purchased by the East-West Chamber of Commerce. Many people in the restaurant have already shown signs of food poisoning. The suspected culprits are the dried white fungus and dried black fungus purchased from the mountain stronghold..."

Food is the most important thing for people. Laifu Restaurant was the nail that the East-West Chamber of Commerce had planted in Jinfeng County, and it was also an important part of Su Ji's God of Wealth plan. However, unexpectedly, problems arose here.

"Snapped--"

The old man who controlled the secrets of heaven stopped at the gate of the courtyard. The food box in his hand had fallen to the ground, and a bowl of white fungus soup was spilled everywhere.
