Eternal Life: I Can Break Through The Limits Of All Methods

Chapter 168: You're Really Nice

The group quickly arrived at the entrance of the Bi Ling Valley's mountain gate formation.

Since Qi Ziheng and the others appeared, many sects have started building mountain protection formations at their outer gates, layer upon layer of defense.

The Bi Ling Valley is mainly formed by two mountain ranges, the Bi Xia Ridge and the Yong Ling Ridge, creating a river valley with a wide Bi Ling River in the middle.

On both sides of the riverbank are narrow plains, with thousands of acres of fertile land.

The peaks of the mountain ranges, as well as the territory within thirty miles outside the mountain ranges, all belong to the Bi Ling Valley.

To the north is the neighboring Golden Scale Lake.

The entrance to the mountain gate is located by the river, guarded by several disciples wearing green martial attire.

After Jiang Zhilan explained their purpose, she led Chu Ming through the formation and entered the sect.

Flying over the Bi Ling Valley, Chu Ming admired the scenery.

This place is truly a paradise for wood cultivators, with green mountains, clear waters, lush flowers and plants, and fresh grass and flower fragrances in the air.

Giant trees grow throughout the valley, as if they have been growing for thousands of years, with trunks dozens of zhang thick.

Some tree holes are large enough to be used as cave mansions, and many cultivators live in them.

Jiang Zhilan introduced to him that these are their Bi Ling Valley's sacred spirit trees, which naturally form tree holes that can be used as cave mansions.

The wood spiritual energy is abundant and easier to absorb, so it is very beneficial for wood cultivators to cultivate inside.

There are also ordinary caves and mansions scattered throughout the mountain ranges, suitable for cultivators of other attributes to live in.

Chu Ming nodded slightly. The Bi Ling Valley is a wood cultivation sect, but they also accept cultivators of other types.

These sacred spirit trees are indeed rare spiritual plants. He wondered if they could generate such trees when their germination realm reaches a high level.

The two continued to fly forward, and Jiang Zhilan introduced the division of the inner and outer gates of the Bi Ling Valley along the way.

When they arrived at the outer gate on the outer side of the mountain range, Chu Ming could see many spirit farmers.

Compared to the outer gate of the Divine Will Sect, the spirit farmers here in the Bi Ling Valley seemed to be in better spirits.

It is said that they do not have the custom of collecting protection fees, only needing to hand over a portion of their harvest to the sect.

However, the qualifications for becoming a spirit farmer are also more difficult. Not everyone can enter.

Chu Ming noticed that the spirit farmers on the ground would occasionally wave and greet Jiang Zhilan.

Jiang Zhilan also smiled and responded, seemingly without any airs of an elder.

Chu Ming couldn't help but ask, "It seems like you know many spirit farmers?"

"It looks like you're quite familiar with them?"

Jiang Zhilan smiled and said, "Of course, I often come to the outer gate and have frequent interactions with the spirit farmers."

"And the treatment of our Bi Ling Valley's spirit farmers is also very good, unlike other sects that exploit them."

"After all, most of the inner sect members in our sect are involved in planting spiritual plants and understand the hard work of the Spirit Fields."

"Empathy naturally prevents us from being too harsh on the spirit farmer disciples."

Hearing her words, Chu Ming suddenly felt that the Bi Ling Valley was quite good.

Much better than the Divine Will Sect.

At this time, a young female spirit farmer disciple was lying in the Spirit Field on the terraced fields on a distant hillside.

Jiang Zhilan noticed and quickly flew over, with Chu Ming following.

Jiang Zhilan scanned with her divine sense and sensed that the disciple's leg was bitten by a venomous snake.

She then released a gentle green wood spiritual energy to detoxify and heal the disciple.

The female disciple slowly woke up and saw Jiang Zhilan, quickly getting up.

"Senior Jiang, when did you arrive?"

Jiang Zhilan pouted and smiled, "Xiao Qing, did you get bitten by a snake again?"

Xiao Qing scratched her head, "Ah? It seems... yes, I didn't expect Senior to save me again."

"I really don't know how to thank Senior, how about I treat Senior to a drink when this month's Spirit Rice harvest comes? "

Jiang Zhilan revealed a charming smile, "Sure, I've saved you so many times, it's not bad to have a drink from you. I'll definitely come then."

"But you should be more careful. You're already at the third level of Qi Refining and still getting bitten by snakes. Be careful not to lose your life before inviting me, hehe."

Xiao Qing awkwardly scratched her head, "I won't let it happen again. I'll go buy some snake-repelling Law Weapons later."

Jiang Zhilan casually took out a smooth green animal skin and handed it to Xiao Qing.

"This is just the skin of a Qi Refining realm Demonic Beast, it's useless to me."

"You can use it to make two leg bindings, it should be enough to repel snakes."

Xiaoqing happily took the animal skin and said, "Thank you, Shishu. I will definitely treat you to a good meal next time."

Jiang Zhilan wasn't particularly surprised when she received the animal skin from Xiaoqing. It seemed that she had given her things before.

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before Jiang Zhilan flew away with Chu Ming.

Unable to hold back, Chu Ming asked, "Are you familiar with this disciple? Why are you so good to her?"

Jiang Zhilan shook her head. "I'm not very familiar with her. She's new here, but I happened to have saved her twice before."

"Her aptitude is average, but she's a good person. I'm willing to give her things too."

She wasn't just putting on a show earlier. After all, the disciple had said that she had saved her more than once.

Faced with the insignificant gratitude from the other party, she was willing to accept it without showing any disdain. She also took care of the face of this Lingnong disciple.

It was quite rare to be able to get along with an outer sect Lingnong disciple like this.

And just now, she had indeed fought fiercely against the demonic cultivator to protect the disciples.

Not only did she not flee during the battle, but she was also willing to risk her life to protect the disciples and let them retreat first. It was truly rare.

This was quite different from the image she had imagined.

"I didn't expect you to be quite good to your own disciples," Chu Ming couldn't help but say.

Jiang Zhilan smiled faintly. "Of course, after all, we are all fellow disciples. Naturally, we should take care of each other."

"And when facing enemies, I naturally won't show mercy."

"Fellow Daoist, do you have a different opinion of me now?"

"Before, you must have heard about my bad reputation from people of other sects, right?"

"In their eyes, I am indeed bad, but there have been many hidden battles between major sects over the years. Why should I be a good person in front of them?"

Chu Ming nodded slightly. "That's true."

There was a lot of animosity between Biling Valley and Divine Will Sect. There was even a large-scale conflict between the two sides seventy to eighty years ago, resulting in blood feuds.

Jiang Zhilan naturally understood why she didn't have a good impression of Divine Will Sect. After all, even he himself was quite disgusted with most of the people from Divine Will Sect.

When Jiang Zhilan heard him say this, she secretly revealed a proud smile.

She didn't say much, just continued to take him sightseeing.

At this time, the Sect Master of Biling Valley learned that Heavenly Dao Sect's Huo Da had arrived and quickly sent someone to invite them.

Chu Ming and Jiang Zhilan arrived at Biling Valley's Divine Tree Hall together, which was located high up on the trunk of the tallest and thickest sacred spirit tree.

Flying into the huge tree hole and passing through a green spirit gate, the two of them entered the majestic hall.

Sitting in the hall was a middle-aged, tall and thin male cultivator, who had a decent appearance and a gentle demeanor.

This should be Biling Valley's Sect Master, Su Xuan.

Jiang Zhilan smiled and introduced, "Sect Master, this is Fellow Daoist Huo Da from Heavenly Dao Sect."

Su Xuan warmly came down to greet Chu Ming and began to inquire about the situation of Heavenly Dao Sect.

Chu Ming responded with the same indifferent attitude as before, not saying too much about Heavenly Dao Sect, and pretending to be mysterious.

But Su Xuan believed it to be true.

Then he said, "I heard from the disciples below that Xuan Yun Sect was saved by a sword cultivator who claimed to be an outer sect disciple of Heavenly Dao Sect."

"That sword cultivator is quite powerful, possessing an extremely strong Sword Intent. With just one sword, he killed the Demon Eye Guardian."

"Is he also a fellow disciple of Fellow Daoist Huo?"

Chu Ming thought for a moment and said, "It's probably Jin Yiming, he's here too."

Su Xuan was amazed and praised, "Amazing, your sect is truly full of talented individuals. Both of you Fellow Daoists possess extraordinary skills."

"Now, according to the intelligence, most of the disciples of Myriad Demon Cave have retreated back to their sect. It seems that they were scared off by the two of you."

"With this, we shouldn't have to worry about the demonic cultivators in Jin Country."

Jiang Zhilan, on the other hand, had just learned about this information.

She naturally understood that Jin Yiming was also a puppet of this unknown Fellow Daoist in front of her.

But now that there were both a fire puppet and a sword puppet, and both possessed powerful true intents, this was probably not something that could be achieved by a wood cultivator alone, right?

Could it be that this Fellow Daoist had multiple spiritual roots? And at the same time, he had mastered many different attributes of powerful true intents?

Perhaps that was really the case. This should be an important clue. Maybe she could find his true identity based on this.

She secretly made a note of it and recalled the words he had said earlier, trying to speculate on his true identity.
