Chronicles of the Green Vine: A Mortal’s Path to Immortality

"Not bad, sensing the wood spirit energy, this demon vine is comparable to a fifth-grade spirit plant." Zhang Ling looked at the dark red vine, a hint of a smile on his face.

In the world of cultivation, there are many types of spirit plants. Spirit herbs and spirit trees can all be regarded as spirit plants. Plants such as this aggressive demon vine and demon flower can also be classified into this category.

However, generally spirit plants exceeding the third grade are rare varieties. Especially fifth-grade spirit plants, which are considered top-grade.

The pills he currently takes for cultivation are mainly made of fourth and fifth-grade spirit herbs. He has seen even rarer sixth-grade spirit plants only a handful of times.

It is said that sixth-grade spirit plants are already extinct in the human realm.

Currently, Zhang Ling only has two spirit herbs in his possession that are of the sixth grade. One is the Clear Spirit Flower, the main ingredient for refining the Soul Awakening Pill to awaken Ding Ruozhao.

And the other, also growing nearby, is the extremely tough black-gold giant grass, the Gold Stone Grass.

Besides these, the only higher-grade plant he has seen is the Ghost Peach Tree he saw on Ghost Island.

As for this kind of demon vine, even third and fourth-grade ones are rare. Not to mention this fifth-grade demon vine in front of him.

Zhang Ling couldn't help but chuckle, opening his mouth, and a clear light flew out, transforming into a green gourd, which was his Wood Origin Gourd.

The gourd was entwined with black-green vine threads. These vine threads shot out like spider silk, turning into a large net, wrapping the dark red demon vine in it and directly pulling it into the Wood Origin Gourd.

After leaving this place, he would refine it properly. Especially the scales attached to this demon vine. If the Parasitic Vine could inherit this characteristic, its power would surely increase a lot.

Zhang Ling's gaze swept around the stone room. This stone room was even larger, about two or three acres in size. After he took away the demon vine, it revealed a huge pit.

But apart from the dark red demon vine that he had taken away, there were no other spirit grasses or herbs in the stone room, only many broken vines were left.

It seemed that this stone room was built specifically for this demon vine. More accurately, it seemed to be built to trap the demon vine.

Because he could already see that the walls of this stone room were not ordinary bluestone, but a piece of gold-white stone, with some array patterns engraved on it.

He could also see many marks left on it, which looked like they were made by countless vines whipping against it.

After identifying it, he recognized that the golden stone slab on the wall was a kind of gold and earth spirit ore, White Glow Stone. This kind of spirit ore is very hard, and with some gold and earth-type formations, it is often used to build some special stone room spaces.

It seemed that this demon vine had been trapped here for a long time. If it were in the outside world, allowing this demon vine to grow freely, it wouldn't take long for it to spread for several miles, or even hundreds of miles. It would definitely be more difficult to deal with.

On the side of the Alien Demon race, it is said that there is a kind of Undead Demon Vine polluted by demonic energy, which not only has strong attack power but also grows extremely fast. It can cover thousands of miles in a day or two.

If the main root of the demon vine cannot be found, it will be difficult to remove it.

Zhang Ling had also thought about collecting this kind of demon vine for research, to increase the power of his Parasitic Vine, but this kind of demon vine only grows near the Demon Spring.

And most of the Demon Springs are in a sealed state. Either the exact location cannot be found at all, or they are guarded by high-level Alien Demon cultivators, making it difficult to approach.

He could only give up temporarily.

While Zhang Ling's thoughts were running, he had already begun to attack the restriction on the stone house representing Spirit Control next to him.

It didn't take long to break through the door of the stone room, but it was empty inside, with nothing in sight.

He wasn't too disappointed and directly turned to attack the stone room door representing the library. After entering it, Zhang Ling smiled and shook his head.

Although there were several rows of white jade bookshelves inside, with some ancient jade slips and books stored on them, the number was not large, only less than a hundred.

This was much less than he had imagined. According to his guess, this was the cave of a Deity Transformation cultivator, and the most collected things should be cultivation methods and secret techniques.

It is not to say that Deity Transformation cultivators will definitely collect these materials. But in the process of cultivation, with hundreds or thousands of years of accumulation, even if it is not deliberately collected, the accumulation in this area will definitely be a lot.

Zhang Ling held the mentality of not letting go of any chance to pick up a bargain, and randomly picked up a few ancient jade slips on a nearby bookshelf to check them out.

Originally, he didn't have much hope, but instantly he was attracted by the information in the jade slips.

Unconsciously, he fell into careful examination.

After a while, Zhang Ling chuckled, "I'm still too inexperienced. These two jade slips actually record top-level cultivation methods."
