Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

How terrifying!

How unique!

Hu Tianbiao even felt that if this person were born into a race of mountain spirits, his achievements might not be inferior to those of his own ancestors who were at the third level of the Spirit Immortal realm.

Because of the chance encounter last time, the old fox came up with his later scheme.

Using the birthday banquet as an excuse, it invited Jiang Mo to the north, intending to discuss cultivation with him and see if it could gain some inspiration from human cultivation methods, and thus hope to achieve 'immaculate human form'.

"So, in your Northeast, where the three major mountain ranges together cover an area of ​​600,000 to 700,000 square kilometers, there isn't even a single immortal?"

Jiang Mo's question made Hu Tianbiao smile bitterly, unsure of where to begin.

An elderly, rather obese man nearby answered for it:

"In the past... those few from the Suzhen Mansion were the most promising, they had one foot in the door, and they were the most skilled in human transformation. It's just that later, that third one was unlucky, he offended you, and got killed."

"After they died, the spirits of the Lesser Khingan Mountains almost collapsed, unable to reach their level."

"However, several decades ago, someone emerged from the Changbai Mountains..."

Before he could finish speaking, another immortal interrupted, "No... no, I remember there were two."

"Hmm? Then why don't you seek their help? Logically speaking, they have had similar experiences, which should be enlightening for you."

Jiang Mo was slightly puzzled, but vaguely guessed that there were vested interests involved behind this.

After all, the cultivation of animals is based on the law of the jungle, where only the fittest survive. If the two immortals help these immortals overcome their difficulties, they will undoubtedly be adding potential rivals to themselves.

"We've looked..."

A one-eyed, short-statured immortal, whose skin was like rock and covered with tiny bumps, looked somber and said wistfully:

"The conditions they proposed were so outrageous as to be shocking; we cannot accept them..."

"The difference between a celestial being and a human is so vast it's despair-inducing. The fact that we've managed to return alive is already an act of mercy from them..."

"Of course, they also take we races whose ancestors produced immortals into account. They cannot be sure whether our ancestors left any tricks up their sleeves, so they dare not take the risk."

Chapter 330 is simple, I'll help you, won't I?

"Oh? What do they want from you?"

Jiang Mo had a faint smile on his lips. He was curious about the request made by the two spirit immortals and continued to ask.

"Make a solemn oath to serve them as masters, and all future successors of the clan shall do the same, and shall offer them a certain share of rare treasures every year..."

"To prevent us from breaking the agreement, they even want to implant secret techniques in our brains to control us."

The old man, who resembled a toad in its transformed form, said with a worried expression, "These conditions are tantamount to sucking the marrow from the bone. Any immortal who has lived for hundreds of years would never agree to them if they had even the slightest bit of pride."

Hu Tianbiao looked worried and sighed:

"In the end, it's all because we younger generations are not good enough. If we had the talent and hard work of our ancestors, we would have been able to reach the realm of immortals without any problem. Why would we need to beg others for help today?"

"That's not how it works. Times are changing. The troubles your ancestors encountered when they were cultivating were different from yours. How can you compare them? In my opinion, seniors, please don't underestimate yourselves."

Jiang Mo glanced at the various expressions on the faces of the immortals and spoke without any hesitation:

"I wonder what level you have reached in your transformation cultivation?"

"Ugh...headache. My soul is almost perfected, but this physical body is just too difficult..."

Hu Tianbiao revealed his displeasure, his brows furrowed:

"For immortals like us, who have cultivated for two or three hundred years, our true forms are often hundreds of meters tall. If we want to use magic to temporarily transform into humans to deceive others, it's simple..."

"But to become a human, to reorganize the massive bones, flesh, and organs according to the characteristics of the human body structure and compress them to a size of one or two meters, is an almost impossible feat. This shows the difference between a celestial being and a person who has taken human form."

"Another difficulty is that our animalistic nature has never been eradicated. You humans have a saying that is quite true: 'The face reflects the heart.' Once we start killing and indulge our animalistic desires, our hearts will be disturbed, affecting the progress of our transformation, and we may even become despondent and fall into the demonic path. This is why we cultivate ourselves and abstain from meat and alcohol throughout our lives."

After that, the other immortals also added their own explanations, confirming that it was indeed the case, while Jiang Mo was pondering something at that moment.

Should we cooperate with them?

While helping them transform, he will also learn about their physical structure. With his current cultivation level, under the use of true magic, he will likely successfully transform into an elf's body. At that time, it remains to be seen whether the combat power of the transformed body will be greater than its current true form.

Different incarnations should have different effects, right?

In just a few seconds, many ideas surfaced in Jiang Mo's mind. He eventually chose one and began communicating directly with the immortals.

"Since taking this final step is so difficult for you..."

Many of the immortals seemed to sense that this fellow Daoist was about to offer advice. They couldn't help but prick up their ears and hold their breath to listen.

Under their slightly anxious gazes, Jiang Mo suddenly said, "It's very simple."

"Why don't I help you?"

The nine immortals were utterly shocked, speechless, their eyes wide with disbelief.

With a "whoosh," Jiang Mo's right hand, which was tightly gripping the teacup, turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated before everyone's eyes.

"As you can see, I am somewhat skilled in the art of transformation, able to deconstruct different substances and then transform and recombine them."

"To put it simply, I can transform your bodies into human form. As for whether it can truly help you, I can't say for sure; it's just a rough guess."

"You are currently stuck at the 'flawless human form' because you simply cannot imagine what you would be like in human form, and you do not have a thorough understanding of their organs, right? Since you say that you have cultivated your souls to a near-complete degree, then your main problem is that you have never had a human body, yet you are vainly trying to create one. The chance is as small as a pipe dream, and it is perfectly normal that you cannot achieve it."

"At this crucial juncture, I can give you all a push, allowing you to experience human form for a short period of time. Then you can revert back to your original form. Without the influence of my magic, as long as your understanding is deep enough, I think you will have a great chance of success."

At this point, the entire room fell silent. This incredibly good news had come so suddenly that it instantly made the blood of these immortal beasts boil. However, they weren't blinded by greed; instead, they became even more vigilant and asked Jiang Mo for his answer:

"Fellow Daoist, what is your intention in helping us like this...?"

"Furthermore, if your method succeeds, aren't you afraid that we, the beings who have entered the 'Spirit Immortal' realm, will covet your magic?"

"Don't flaunt your wealth, and it's better to avoid trouble. You should understand such a simple principle, so why would you choose to do this? Besides, we are just strangers who met by chance, and our relationship is far from enough for you to do these things for us. Moreover, let's be honest, we also find it hard to trust you..."

"The suggestion is good, but we've never tried it before. Fellow Daoist, are you confident? If something goes wrong along the way, and we both suffer qi deviation, all our efforts will be in vain. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

Listening to these centuries-old monsters rambling on and on, looking both anxious and cautious, Jiang Mo smiled knowingly and answered their questions one by one:

"Firstly, helping you is also helping me. I don't know much about the mountain spirits. When I help you transform, I need to refine your bodies to understand your structure. In the future, if I want to transform into another species to conceal my true appearance or improve my cultivation, this should also be helpful."

Upon hearing this, the immortals were moved. Were there really humans who followed this path of cultivation?

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mo added:

"Secondly, even if you advance to the 'Spirit Immortal' level, you don't have the ability to covet it. As long as you don't cross my bottom line, I'm willing to communicate with you on an equal footing. But once certain bottom lines are crossed..."

"Gentlemen... to be honest, killing a spirit immortal shouldn't take me much effort, and I have plenty of ways to make it wish it were dead. If the seniors here are rude and repay kindness with enmity, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"As for why I am so keen to help you take human form, you are my pawns for exploring the path. Whether you trust me or not is your business. What I need to do is simply to provide you with a choice, a choice that opens up a path for me that is beneficial to you and to me. That's all."

"Thirdly, I am very confident that I will not go astray in my cultivation, so you can rest assured."

Jiang Mo's tone of voice did not change significantly; he spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

Just as he had planned, this birthday banquet in Northeast China was only to witness the capabilities of these creatures. If he couldn't enjoy himself to the fullest, he wouldn't force it. After all, life is full of disappointments, and he could always find another place to go.

The immortals present are teetering on the brink of collapse. Given their aptitude and increasingly weakened bodies, it is extremely difficult for them to make one last desperate attempt in their old age. The chances of success are less than 10%.

Hu Tianbiao carefully considered Jiang Mo's words and couldn't find any reason to refute them. The other party was indeed being honest with him and the other immortals.

Even... to put it bluntly, if he really wanted to refine the spirits, he might not necessarily need to consult with them;

With his cultivation level, none of the spirits, including the two immortals, could stop him in the vast Northeast Three Great Mountain Ranges.

After careful consideration, Hu Tianbiao was convinced. He felt it was definitely worth a try and grinned, flattering him:

“Fellow Daoist, if your method can truly help us achieve perfect transformation and become immortals, that would be an immense favor, one we would be eternally grateful for.”

"Fellow Daoist, so am I."

One of the immortals, the oldest and weakest at the main table, had only seven or eight years left to live a carefree life. He decided to cooperate with Jiang Mo, taking a gamble.

"Fellow Daoist, I apologize for my previous words, which were quite offensive." The old man, who looked like a toad, apologized profusely.

"It's alright, things will be fine once we've talked it out. The more we discuss things, the clearer things become."

"You'd better think it through before you make a decision."

Soon, all the immortals chose to believe in his character and expressed their opinions, wanting him to lend a hand. Even if their bodies were refined and coveted, it didn't matter, since they had lived for hundreds of years and no longer cared about such trivial matters.

"Fellow Daoist, if I may ask, are there any hidden dangers in your transformation technique? And how long does it take to complete?"

The old woman sitting to Jiang Mo's right was curious. She had a white face and white hair. She was a white snake who had cultivated into human form. Among the nine immortals, her cultivation was second only to Hu Tianbiao.

"No, after I transform you into human form, your original lifespan will remain the same, and your power will not be sealed or restricted unless I do so intentionally."

Immediately, Jiang Mo gestured for it to extend its hand, which the old woman did, while the other immortals watched intently.

"......"

Jiang Mo activated his true technique, and a shimmering light swirled around his five fingers. He grabbed the White Snake Immortal's wrist to sense it, and after a few breaths, he gave his answer.

“Your body is complex, and your cultivation is not weak. If I were to refine a complete human form for you, it would take 2-3 days. Since our races are different, and I also need to protect your life, the process will naturally be slower.”

"Three days? That's wonderful!"

The old woman was astonished.

"Then... what about me? Fellow Daoist, please take a look at this old man."

The oldest immortal was immediately relieved and in high spirits, as if it saw hope for advancement. It had thought that the process of refining into human form would take at least three or four months, or even half a year or a year, but it was completed in just a few days.

"you?"

Jiang Mo glanced at it, and a crimson-gold Dao mark appeared in his eyes, revealing that it was a mountain scorpion.

"After about four days, your blood and energy will be depleted, making the refining process even more difficult. If you are not careful, it could cost you your life."

“This….Ah….”

The old man gave a bitter smile, and it bowed its head, clasped its hands, and earnestly prayed:

“Fellow Daoist, I can accept your concerns... No destruction, no construction. This may be my only chance in this life, and I must seize it firmly. I hope you will grant my request.”

"If I fail in this life, I will repay your kindness in the next. I am willing to go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate to die nine times."

Chapter 331 Unparalleled True Method, Refining the Human Body

The old man's resolute expression caught Jiang Mo's eye, and he couldn't help but admire him:

"Alright, senior, since you have such courage, I will definitely not let you leave empty-handed."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist."

The old man cupped his hands in greeting, and the frown between his brows suddenly relaxed, a hopeful smile appearing on his lips.

"There is one more thing I must tell you clearly: after I transform into human form, you will be in human form. You cannot transform back into human form without permission. Not only will you be unable to do so, but you will also be in mortal danger."

"When you have achieved perfect enlightenment, I will transform you back into a beast. As for how to cultivate a 'flawless human body,' that will depend entirely on your own destiny."

"Understood, fellow Daoist. I will keep your words in mind."

The Mountain Scorpion Immortal breathed a sigh of relief. This birthday banquet of its old friend had truly given it an opportunity, and it felt a little fortunate.

Subsequently, the remaining eight immortals discussed with Jiang Mo the order in which they would transform into human form. The location was chosen to be a secluded retreat unique to the Spirit Fox Cave Heaven. It was a deep mountain ravine surrounded by mountains, with forests blocking out the sun and towering cliffs in the void. The sunlight that fell on them every day was just right, and the climate was cool.

The Mountain Scorpion Immortal, whose lifespan is the rarest, volunteered to become the first spirit to take human form. Even if it hadn't met Jiang Mo, it would have been impossible for it to break through to the 'Spirit Immortal' realm in the remaining seven or eight years. Therefore, it didn't care about any risks that might exist.

The other immortals were acquainted with the Mountain Scorpion Elder and had a decent relationship with him. They also cherished their lives and were always uneasy about the cultivation method of being refined by humans and then transforming back into humans. So they tacitly let the Mountain Scorpion Elder try it first so that they could observe and see if it worked well. If it did, they would then transform into human form.

On the fourth day of the birthday banquet, the guests who had visited Qunshan all returned home one after another.

Hu Tianbiao instructed his relatives to take care of trivial matters, while he and the seven immortals guarded the outer perimeter of the mountain stream, protecting Jiang Mo and the mountain scorpion.

During this time, an old man who had transformed from a venomous spider chatted with Lu Jin for a while and had the idea of ​​sparring with him.

It ranks among the top among the nine immortals, and I would like to meet this disciple from the First Mystic Sect.

Lu Jin did not refuse. He had just had a brief sparring session with the Snake Immortal of Changbai Mountain, which was not enough. Since he had finally met his match, he was unwilling to miss the opportunity and began a battle with the Poison Spider Immortal in another part of the cave.

Several immortals were also watching. The two fought so fiercely that rocks collapsed and forests were destroyed in their wake.

From hand-to-hand combat to revealing their true forms and unleashing magic, the Poison Spider Immortals were overwhelmed and defeated by Lu Jin, who was unleashing his full power, in less than half an hour.

Afterwards, Lu Jin learned from those immortals that his strength was roughly between the 'Transformation' and 'Spirit Immortal' realms in the cultivation of elves, or even close to the Spirit Immortal realm, just one foot in the door.

Within the Sanyi Sect, most disciples are born into orphanages. Even Zhuge Yu has very few relatives. Lu Jin is different; he is the eldest son of the Lu family, with a clan and family behind him. He is more bound by worldly constraints, which naturally slows down his cultivation.

Seventy years have passed. Now, among the disciples, Senior Uncle Xiangchong, Senior Brother Zhuge, and Senior Brother Chengzhen are all above him, while Shuiyun and Changqing are at a similar level, each with their own strengths.
