The Path to Immortality: Starting with an Analysis of Basic Concepts

When Zhu Yu returned to the street where he used to live, two pieces of information flooded into his mind.

[Starry Sky Tree Leaves: A product of the degeneration of a special spiritual plant, containing divine essence and spiritual energy. Warning: Do not ingest...]

Fertile, fresh soil…

After learning the information, Zhu Yu suddenly had an idea.

Could the Moon Elf that Mu Ruo mentioned be the special spiritual plant in the analysis results of the Eye of True Sight?

Or perhaps its original form was Starry Sky Wood, which was then divided into thousands of plants by a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Yinming Cave…

"No, no..."

Zhu Yu frowned immediately. He suddenly remembered what the bearded stall owner had said at the market: all the plants in the Yinming Cave that glowed were degenerated from spiritual seeds nurtured in the life sac of a certain insectoid cultivator.

"Could the moon elves be the legendary insectoid cultivators?"

Zhu Yu thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he put it out of his mind. He was only at the early stage of Qi Refining, and such beings were beyond his comprehension for the time being.

Coming to his senses, he slowly walked towards the stone house where he had previously lived.

Soon.

A familiar stone house came into view in the distance, and at the same time, a faint connection gradually became clear.

A smile appeared on Zhu Yu's face. "I wonder if Xiao Hei has lost weight in the past five days..."

Walk a few steps quickly, and when you reach the neighboring stone house, its door slowly opens, and accompanied by laughter, seven or eight men and women come out of the room.

"Huh? Isn't that Tong Xuan's house? Did she fail to break through?"

Zhu Yu was slightly taken aback. When she came to her senses, she looked around and saw that the people's clothes were exquisite and gorgeous, but they were all just ordinary things. She suddenly realized what was going on.

"A year has passed, and they are newly admitted disciples..."

The group naturally noticed Zhu Yu standing not far from the roadside. They glanced at him curiously, and then, as if thinking of something, they all became excited and whispered among themselves.

After breaking through to the Qi Refining stage, Zhu Yu's five senses became incredibly sharp. Although the group was talking in hushed tones, he still heard every single word they said.

"Judging from his black robes, he must be a senior member of the sect. Should we ask him about it?"

"That wouldn't be a good idea, we don't know his temperament, what if..."

"What senior? I've heard from disciples of cultivation families that the new disciple area is full of people who haven't had spiritual energy enter their bodies."

"Wow, you actually know someone from a family of cultivators!"

"Tell me quickly, what are they like? Can they breathe fire or breathe wind?...

"That's a circus act, I'm telling you..."

"Cough cough..."

Just as the group was chatting animatedly, the best-dressed and most handsome young man coughed twice. When the others looked at him, he shook his head and said, "We'll talk about that later. Let's find that person first and see if we can find the previous owner of Liu Qing Stone House..."

On the edge of the crowd.

A boy with a scar on his face cast a grateful glance at him.

The others nodded in agreement. This was the first problem their small group was facing. If they could solve it together, they would surely be able to work together to achieve great things in the future.

As Zhu Yu drew closer, the leading youth straightened his expression and led the others towards the courtyard. When they were about two zhang away, a suitable smile appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands and said:

"My name is Mu..."

Before he could finish speaking, the moment Zhu Yu entered his two-zhang range, he suddenly felt a tightness and oppression in his chest, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him, and his words abruptly stopped.

Then I felt a chilling aura, like insects crawling into my pores, and a tingling pain of frostbite surged into my mind.

"This is…"

The young man surnamed Mu looked at Zhu Yu walking towards him in horror. He felt the pain on his body getting stronger and stronger, and he hurriedly retreated until he reached his own stone house courtyard. The cold aura dissipated silently, leaving only a slight stinging pain.

The others also ran back in a panic, their eyes filled with fear. They huddled behind the boy surnamed Mu like quails, no one daring to speak or even look at Zhu Yu.

Fifteen minutes later.

The young man surnamed Mu watched the figure recede into the distance with a complex expression. Turning around, he looked at the group of people with their heads hanging low like quails, and suddenly regretted organizing this small group. Suppressing the thought, he forced a smile and said:

"Okay, he's gone..."

Upon hearing this, the group quietly raised their heads and, seeing that there was indeed no such figure, breathed a sigh of relief. They rubbed their arms incessantly, trying to wipe away the stinging pain on their skin.

For a moment, the only sound was the rustling of clothes rubbing together.

A short while later.

A freckled boy, his face a mixture of fear and excitement, whispered, "Is he a cultivator?"

The words fell.

Like a pebble dropped into calm water, creating ripples that overwhelmed their fear, leaving only excitement and exhilaration.

"Definitely! And probably not an ordinary cultivator!"

"Hiss, so this is immortal power! It's truly terrifyingly powerful..."

"I'll end up like that person someday."

"That's incredible! I've practiced martial arts for years, and I've never even seen how he made that move..."

"……."

The group started discussing excitedly, one after another, without mentioning why they had just left.

The young man surnamed Mu glanced at the group, utterly disappointed. He walked over to the scarred boy at the edge of the crowd, patted him on the shoulder, and chuckled, "Go back. The beast guarding your stone house has left."

After saying that, he ignored the others and went straight back to his house.

"Um?"

Liu Qing was a little confused, but then his face lit up with excitement. He walked quickly toward the adjacent stone house, but when he got close to the courtyard, he suddenly slowed down.

He tentatively placed his left foot in the yard, and seeing that the ferocious beast did not appear, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face. He tried a few more times before confirming that the beast had indeed left.

"Finally gone..."

Heaven knows how he's been these past few days. Liu Qing excitedly pushed open the door, looked around, and his gaze fell on a piece of warm, smooth jade on the wooden table. He stepped forward, picked it up, and felt its warm, cool touch. His eyes were filled with doubt.

"What is this...?"

.....

[Target: Little Black]

[Race: Bucktooth Bug]

[Non-product quality: 63%]

[Her natural advantages: hard shell, sharp teeth.]

[Status: Joy.]

Several days passed, and Xiao Hei, who fed on grass and insects, did not starve to death, but his cultivation level only increased by less than three points.

Zhu Yu ignored the message and glanced at Xiao Hei, who was hanging not far behind him. Xiao Hei was obviously more active than before and had a hint of ferocity.

"It seems we can't just feed it; we need to let it hunt occasionally..."

After thinking it over, Zhu Yu decided to place Xiao Hei in the corpse field.

Once the corpse taro grows a bit bigger, it will definitely attract insects. While training the little black dog to hunt, it can also guard the corpse site and get rid of pests, killing two birds with one stone.

Little Black, overjoyed, had no idea that it would be busy from now on and could no longer lie around lazily. Of course, with its little brain, it couldn't even think of these worries.

Non-stop.

We turned down several winding streets.

Before long, Zhu Yu entered the street that Xiang Sui had told him about. He hadn't gone far when he heard a series of cursing voices.

"Damn it, that shit-playing bastard is at it again!"

"You son of a bitch, I'll chop you to death today, ugh..."

"In a few more days I will break through to the Qi Refining stage and will no longer be able to stay in this filthy place."

"..."
