Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes: I Possess the Heavenly Book of Merit

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Yan opened his eyes, his face feeling somewhat damp. Through the twilight light, he discovered a roe deer licking his face.

"..."

Yu Yan tried to move, and immediately felt excruciating pain all over his body.

The Rejuvenation Pill worked, but his injuries were too severe. The Rejuvenation Pill refined by Li Lingying could only treat external injuries, and it was really useless for internal injuries.

Fortunately, that evil cultivator is finally dead.

"Go away, get away from me."

Yu Yan tried to shoo the roe deer away, but it tilted its head, spread its hind legs slightly, and began to urinate on his legs.

"..."

It's true, a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs.

Just wait and see. Once he's able to move, he'll have to stay put if he dares.

But the silly roe deer seemed to sense Yu Yan's anger. After urinating, it shook its whole body and quickly walked away without looking back.

Yu Yan could only watch it leave, powerless to do anything about it.

A dignified cultivator was actually bullied by a silly roe deer.

Fortunately, there are no animals bothering us now.

He closed his eyes, feeling the spiritual energy constantly recovering within his body. His consciousness sank to his dantian, where he saw the inner core continuously releasing spiritual energy outwards.

The cracks above have become larger and more numerous, and it seems as if it will shatter completely at any moment.

From the moment he obtained the inner core, Yu Yan knew that it could provide him with the spiritual power he needed, so he began his plan.

Although he didn't know if it would succeed, it was the best solution he could come up with in his desperation.

He deliberately used his eyes to draw the evil path's attention to his storage bag.

Then, he had the other party threaten him to drop his storage bag to lower their guard, and then used the spiritual power in his inner core to activate the hundreds of explosive talismans in Li Lingying's storage bag.

However, to Yu Yan's surprise, the evil cultivator hated him to the bone and actually wanted to devour him alive, along with his two pills, which gave Yu Yan the opportunity to fight back.

Whether it's a human or an animal, there's a high probability that they'll lower their guard before they succeed in getting what they want.

And it was this fleeting opportunity that Yu Yan seized.

Not only did they successfully destroy the Spirit Breaking Blood Pill, they also completely killed that evil cultivator.

and--

He stood before the Heavenly Book once more, the merit points above it approaching six hundred.

This means that the next reincarnation has already been arranged.

"Cough cough cough..."

A sudden bout of coughing brought Yu Yan back to his senses, and he looked around.

The land was scorched black, and in some places, poisonous gas was emanating from it. All the surrounding vegetation had withered and would likely not grow again for the next few years.

It was completely silent; even normal animals wouldn't come here.

That silly roe deer must have been drinking water by the river not far away, and it came over out of curiosity.

This animal is almost fearless, or rather, ignorant; otherwise, it would be called a silly roe deer.

Yu Yan regained some strength and followed the sound of flowing water he heard, crawling along and pushing aside several bushes until he finally saw a stream.

He endured the pain and lay down by the water's edge, moving closer to a few squirrels drinking water nearby.

After all, without knowing Baijing Mountain, who knows if the stream here is dangerous?

But following behind small animals is much safer.

Except for the silly roe deer.

Seeing the crystal-clear stream, with the bluefish seemingly swimming freely in the air, Yu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the water looks drinkable, and any danger underwater can be spotted immediately.

He gently scooped up some stream water, moistened his lips, and slowly drank it.

The sweet, cool, and refreshing sensation went straight to the top of his head, causing him to involuntarily squint his eyes.

The surrounding animals glanced at this "uninvited guest," but treated him merely as a wild beast they had never seen before. They would only turn their heads to look at him briefly before quickly lowering their heads to continue drinking water.

This place is finally no longer a deathly silence.

Yu Yan leaned against a tree by the stream, listening to the birdsong that echoed through the woods, and silently circulated his internal energy.

Although spiritual energy gradually recovers under the influence of the inner core, it is not entirely one's own and needs to be mobilized using cultivation techniques.

However, his meridians are damaged, and his cultivation technique is not functioning properly. He has spiritual power but cannot use it, which is very uncomfortable for him.

I wonder how Li Lingying and that boy are doing, whether they've arrived at the sect yet...

All his thoughts turned into a sigh, and the streams restored much of his mobility.

Yu Yan originally planned to climb to a clinic in a nearby town to seek medical treatment, but by the time he had this thought, it was already getting dark.

Several wolf howls echoed through the woods, scaring the small animals into scattering and fleeing instantly.

Yu Yan looked at the pairs of eyes that lit up in the darkness and gave a bitter smile.

No way, we encountered a pack of wolves right after dark.

Is that such a coincidence?

He suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the very obvious stain on his leg wraps.

Could it be that the roe deer's scent, used to mark its territory, attracted the wolves?

Yu Yan thought about it more and more and it seemed possible. When he looked up again, he saw the wolf pack slowly emerging from the woods. Their eyes were fierce and their fangs were bared. They formed a semi-circle and completely surrounded him.

Indeed, it seems like an undeserved disaster.

After bullying the silly roe deer, now it's the wolves' turn, right?

The former is truly foolish, knowing nothing, while the latter wants Yu Yan dead!

Do you really think cultivators are easy to bully?

Yu Yan raised his fist and slammed it hard on the ground.

Thump—

A dull groan came from the ground beside them, and the soil and gravel suddenly exploded, revealing a shallow pit the size of a head. However, spiderweb-like cracks spread in all directions, and the dust raised made several hungry wolves stop in their tracks.

Even if he couldn't use his spiritual power, and even if he was only at the third level of Qi Refining, the physique of a cultivator was naturally incomparable to that of an ordinary person.

Previously, Yu Yan was untouchable, but now he won't be allowed to be slaughtered.

The same goes for wolf packs!

Sure enough, after seeing the power of his punch, the wolf pack stopped advancing, but they didn't retreat either; they just stood a short distance away and observed silently.

The two sides remained locked in a standoff until an even louder wolf howl came from behind the pack.

Yu Yan's eyes narrowed, and he realized something was wrong.

The wolf king has given the order!

whoosh-

Before the wolf howls had even faded, a hungry wolf pounced right in front of them.

"court death!"

Yu Yan threw a punch, which slammed heavily into the opponent's head.

With a "smack," red and white substances splattered, and the attacker's body flew backward into the jungle, landing heavily on the ground some distance away.

Seeing this, the wolf pack immediately retreated a few steps, but still did not disperse.

"Waaaaah~~~"

"Waaaaah~~~"

With the wolf king leading the way, all the other hungry wolves howled to the sky, making Yu Yan's heart skip a beat.

Aren't these wolves afraid of dying?

Seeing his skill, the wolf pack didn't give up; instead, they tried to gather more of their companions.

Given Yu Yan's current condition, taking down ten or eight wolves would be no problem, but he couldn't withstand a pack of wolves attacking him.

Cultivators have stronger physiques than ordinary people, but even the strongest Qi Refining cultivator at the third level cannot withstand the onslaught of a pack of hungry wolves.

No, I have to find a way to escape.

Yu Yan scanned his surroundings with his divine sense and found that all escape routes on the ground were surrounded by wolves. At his current speed, he would probably be caught before he could even climb a few steps.

If you can't run fast on the ground, then there's only one road left.

Let's travel by water!
