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

Zhu Yu summoned his True Sight Eye to analyze the diagrams, and as expected, dozens of similar but slightly different lineage diagrams appeared in his mind.

As he thought and acted, many combinations were created.

There are lineages that tend to enhance the corrosive and storage of gastric juices, lineages that tend to increase the size of the stomach and the ability to swallow and store food, and lineages that tend to be moderate, falling somewhere in between…

Zhu Yu did not rashly decide which method to cultivate. Before confirming that "chewing gold and eating iron" would not affect the accompanying techniques of the cultivation advancement visualization diagram, this technique could only be temporarily shelved.

After all, every bit of human life and the laws of heaven and earth that is severed is a loss. If cultivating "gold and iron" affects the construction of supporting spells, then it would be too much of a loss.

After the meal, Zhu Yu returned to the second floor and immersed himself in meditation and spiritual practice.

The waning moon recedes, and the full moon rises.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Corpse ground.

Zhu Yu checked the tiger's corpse and confirmed it was unharmed. He glanced around at the three acres of lush green taro and stepped out of the corpse field.

With a thought connected to Xiao Hei, a squeaking sound came from the nearby corpse ground, the corpse taro seedlings stirred, and Xiao Hei's figure appeared, then ran over on its six long legs.

Zhu Yu sized up Xiao Hei's size and nodded in satisfaction.

Three days later, Xiao Hei had grown even bigger, its carapace becoming deeper and deeper, and when it stood up, it was as tall as his shoulders and neck.

Without hesitation, she lightly touched the ground with her toes and landed on Little Black's back.

"Little Black is gone..."

Zhu Yu sat down cross-legged and patted the little black shell with a smile.

Squeak…

Little Black let out an excited screech, a faint spiritual light emanating from its body, and with its six long legs taking off, it sped down the mountain like the wind.

It's better to say something than to say it.

Xiao Hei's mount is truly excellent.

After it cast its innate spell "Lightness", Zhu Yu felt a gentle force acting on him, as if he were sitting on a soft sponge instead of a hard shell.

Running was very comfortable as there was no bump at all.

"So this is what it feels like to have a mount... It's really great..."

Zhu Yu guided Xiao Hei along the way with his divine sense, feeling as if he were riding a galloping horse, traveling at lightning speed, and felt extremely happy.

From then on, he no longer had to walk!

soon.

Xiao Hei then carried him to the main road, its speed increasing rather than decreasing, its six legs moving at lightning speed, heading straight for the disciples' market.

Traveling along the way.

Zhu Yu once again felt the exhilaration of owning a mount, and seeing the envious glances of those who walked, his vanity was thoroughly satisfied.

Wait until you reach the Spirit Field/Beast Pen area.

There were more pedestrians on the road, most of whom were driving animal-drawn carts. When they saw Zhu Yu riding the insect-like beast that was neither insect nor beast, they all turned their eyes to it.

Some people recognized the Black Ones race and knew that they were buck-toothed worms that could be found anywhere in the insect nests, but this was the first time they had ever seen a buck-toothed worm this big.

There was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Is that a buck-toothed worm? Even if it's a spirit-attracting insect beast, I don't remember it being that big..."

"Could it be a mutant?"

"I have to say, those six long legs actually feel pretty good when they run."

One of the cultivators, seeing an opportunity, called out loudly, "Junior brother, where did you get such a huge, buck-toothed insect beast? Are you selling it?"

"Bought at the market, not for sale!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yu smiled slightly and casually replied, urging Xiao Hei to quickly overtake the slow-moving beast-drawn carriage.

In less than half an hour.

A huge archway appeared ahead.

"market"

Zhu Yu rolled onto the ground, glanced at the bustling scene inside, and without lingering, led Xiao Hei into the market.

A cacophony of noise resounded throughout.

The streets were bustling with people, a mix of different atmospheres, creating a lively scene.

Zhu Yu glanced at the spot where the bearded stall owner had set up his stall before, but he wasn't there. There was only a middle-aged man selling first-grade low-level "grass rabbits".

He shook his head with some regret. He had originally planned to buy a few more buck-toothed worms to raise. Even if he didn't keep them for himself, he could raise them into insect beasts and sell them to make a profit.

Without thinking further, he led Xiao Hei toward a side path.

The classroom is located in the residential area of ​​the market, which is neither too close nor too far from the market.

Following the street signs, Zhu Yu turned several corners and walked for less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before a three-story pavilion appeared not far ahead.

At this moment, Xiang Sui and Liang Kuan were chatting idly at the door.

Zhu Yu smiled, stepped forward, and greeted, "Senior Brother Xiang, Senior Brother Liang."

Upon seeing him arrive, both of them beamed with joy and rushed to greet him, "Junior Brother, you've come..."

Let's chat for a bit.

Xiang Sui said in a low voice, "Junior Brother, this is your first time teaching a large class, so you only organized twenty people this time." He paused and then quickly added, "Of course, if Junior Brother finds it easy, we can increase the number next time."

The number of professors is different from that of a few; their levels vary. It is not only necessary to take care of the majority, but also to ensure that everyone benefits. This is not a simple matter.

This is also why he only organized twenty new disciples, so that he could make up for any mistakes in time.

"Thank you for your help, senior brothers."

Knowing his good intentions, I smiled and nodded.

The two were unaware that he had already mastered the basic visualization diagram and was teaching twenty new disciples who were beginners or even complete beginners. Wasn't that something that could be accomplished simply by talking?

"There's no need for us three to be so polite. Besides, we're all just trying to earn more spirit stones." Xiang Sui waved his hand frankly, then gestured with his chin toward the houses beside him and said with a smile, "Same as before, three hours."

"it is good."

Zhu Yu nodded and turned to walk towards the door.

Seeing this, Liang Kuan quickly took a few steps forward, pushed open the door ahead of time, and led the way with a tense face.

Xiang Sui had previously mentioned that the rent in the residential area was not cheap, and renting a house for a year would cost at least a thousand spirit stones, which he could not afford. Therefore, he spent twenty spirit stones a month to rent a room on the third floor by himself.

The rent will be paid proportionally by the three individuals.

Third floor.

Zhu Yu instructed Xiao Hei to wait outside the door, took a deep breath, and entered the room with Liang Kuan.

"Greetings, Master Zhu!"

"You're too kind, fellow disciples."

Zhu Yu politely cupped his hands in greeting, his gaze sweeping around.

Familiar and unfamiliar faces came into view, most of whom were acquaintances, such as the founding disciples Xun Su, Ni Ying, Qiao Hewei, Bai Meng, Fu Hongxi, and others...

"These are all promising seedlings..."

Zhu Yu sighed inwardly, a suitable smile appearing on his face, and slowly asked, "Fellow junior brothers and sisters, are you all proficient in the 'Basic Visualization Method'?"

……

It was during his instruction of the fairy seedlings.

Outside, Xiang Sui looked at the little black dog lying in front of the door, clicking his tongue in amazement, "Where did Junior Brother Zhu get such a peculiar creature..."

It's not that it's particularly precious, but rather that it's rare...

The buck-toothed worm belongs to the lowest level of the insect nest and is food for other powerful insect beasts. It is rare for even a spirit to enter its body, let alone a worm with a significantly mutated physique and awakened innate magic.

I wanted to tease Xiao Hei, but I was afraid of disturbing the lesson.

Xiang Sui crouched down to examine the insect curiously. The two, one human and one insect, stared at each other, one looking at the other.
