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

Speaking of Mirror Province, it is a wild and undeveloped area that does not belong to the Cangyun Kingdom. It is located at the junction of the Cangyun Kingdom, Tianyang Kingdom, and Yuanfeng Kingdom.

Mirror Province is just the general name for this area, which is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round and covered by large areas of mountains and forests, with few people.

Many legends of gods and immortals are circulating, including a magical rumor.

Legend has it that five hundred years ago, it was still a barren Gobi desert. Until one day, a huge rock fell from the sky. Some people speculated that it was a star falling from the sky, which caused a major earthquake and triggered a heavenly fire. The heavenly fire burned for decades, and the landform there changed.

Gradually, large areas of mountains and forests were formed. Originally, Li Changfeng didn't believe this legend. There were similar rumors in some famous mountains and rivers, mostly accompanied by stories of gods and monsters.

In Mirror Province, he was practicing martial arts in the deep mountains at the time, and saw cyan and yellow lights chasing each other in the sky and heading towards the distance. At first, he was quite surprised to see the two rays of light, thinking that some treasure had been born.

After chasing for a while, he saw a shocking scene. There seemed to be figures fighting in the two rays of light, and they occasionally emitted attacks of great power. Large areas of dense forest were razed to the ground, and he dared not chase any further and hurriedly left the mountains and forests.

Afterwards, he inquired about this matter in several towns in Mirror Province, and sure enough, many people had seen these immortal cultivators with magical powers.

Immortal cultivators are called Immortal Masters by mortals. They rarely show themselves in front of people. It is only known that there is an Immortal City where Immortal Masters live in the mountains, called Falling Star City.

Many people have also searched for it with the dream of becoming an immortal cultivator, but no one has ever been able to find this place.

Li Changfeng was one of them. He stayed in Mirror Province for decades, often walking in the deep mountains and forests, and never saw an immortal cultivator again.

As he grew older, he gave up the idea and left Mirror Province to return to the Cangyun Kingdom.

As a first-class martial artist, he had no worries about life. After giving up the idea of ​​seeking immortality, he put his mind back on martial arts, hoping to break through and become an innate martial artist. Then he joined a Jianghu gang called the Medicine Gang and became an elder.

The Medicine Gang is one of the best forces in Qingshan County and has existed for more than two hundred years. It is said that the person who established the Medicine Gang was an innate martial artist.

Zhang Ling had also heard about this gang, and its power was not small.

This is also the reason why Li Changfeng joined this gang. Although his martial arts aptitude was good, he had been busy seeking immortality all the time, and his martial arts had been neglected. As he grew older, it was already difficult to reach the sky by breaking through on his own.

And there is a rumor in the Medicine Gang that the innate martial artist who established the Medicine Gang left behind a kind of pill that can help people break through.

The Medicine Gang's power spread throughout Qingshan County. There are nearly a hundred second-rate masters, and there are five first-rate masters including Li Changfeng. As an elder, Li Changfeng naturally knows the secret of this pill.

This pill does exist, but refining this pill requires a rare medicinal herb called Gathering Spirit Grass. Apart from the innate martial artist who established the Medicine Gang, no one has been able to find this medicinal material in two hundred years.

After joining the Medicine Gang, he has also been studying the art of alchemy, hoping to find medicinal materials to replace the Gathering Spirit Grass and refine the pill to break through to become an innate martial artist. Therefore, he often goes out to find some rare medicinal herbs.

And the three encounters with immortal cultivators were encountered during his search for medicine. At that time, two immortal cultivators were fighting, and their strengths were similar, and they ended up dying together. The things left behind were obtained by this Old Man Li.

After getting the things of the immortal cultivator, Li Changfeng was overjoyed, thinking that he could find a way to become an immortal cultivator. Only he studied it for several years, but he could not find a way and made no progress.

He only researched the usage of the stone block that could release red worms. At that time, he got two such special stone blocks, and he only knew the usage of the stone block after testing one.

The red worms in it seemed to have the characteristics of hibernation and were sealed in the stone block. As long as there is external force to destroy the stone block, they will wake up and turn into fireballs to burn the enemy.

These worms cannot survive for a long time. As long as they are released, they will automatically turn into fireballs and explode within a short period of time.

Listening to Li Changfeng's story, Zhang Ling also sighed at this person's rich experience. He also had a general understanding of the immortal cultivators in this person's mouth.

This is a group of people who pursue the path of longevity. They are powerful and can use magic, refine immortal pills, and also use magic weapons. It is said that a flying sword can take a person's head from thousands of miles away.

This kind of method is really not comparable to mortals, and the reason why he was recognized as an immortal cultivator by this Old Man Li at a glance is because this person had personally seen immortal cultivators who could also manipulate vines.

If he could become an immortal cultivator, maybe he could know the reason for the changes in his body. Zhang Ling thought in his heart.

And to get these things from the immortal cultivators, he also promised this person one thing, to go back to the Medicine Gang with him to kill the Medicine Gang leader.

Although this person did not force him to agree to this matter, Zhang Ling is now holding the title of immortal cultivator. This kind of thing does not seem to be anything in the eyes of immortal cultivators, it is just a matter of effort, and there is no reason to refuse.

Because the things left by the two immortal cultivators that this person said are also placed in the Medicine Gang, this Medicine Gang must be visited no matter what.

And this is about the grievances between this person and the Medicine Gang.

After Li Changfeng joined the Medicine Gang, he had more contact with the gang leader and became a friend in old age. They often drank and chatted. Once again, after being drunk more than half a year ago, he accidentally revealed this matter, which caused a disaster.

After that, this person fought with the Medicine Gang leader and escaped with serious injuries, but the gang leader was not willing to let him go and sent several masters to besiege him, which led to what happened earlier.

As for the truth of the matter, Zhang Ling doesn't care about the grievances between this person and the Medicine Gang. As long as there are really things from the immortal cultivators in his hands, that's fine.

He must get these things.

……

After traveling day and night, the two arrived at the Medicine Gang half a month later.

But in Zhang Ling's view, this place does not look like a gang. At noon this day, the two were walking on the streets of a town. There were many people coming and going here, just an ordinary town.

"Immortal Master, this is Qingfeng Town under the jurisdiction of the Medicine Gang. Most of the people in the town are engaged in the medicine business. There are also many disciples of the Medicine Gang. The mountain behind the town is Yaoshan, and most of the disciples of the Medicine Gang live on the mountain."

Li Changfeng wore a hat and a black robe to cover his appearance, and explained to Zhang Ling. Then the old man took him to an inn and left.

Zhang Ling sat in the room of the inn, sorting out the things on his body. Since he was going to help this person kill the Medicine Gang leader, some preparations were necessary.

After all, the Medicine Gang leader is also a first-class master, and the Medicine Gang also has several first-class martial artists. He had to be careful, after all, he was not a real immortal cultivator.

However, after seeing the old man's strength, Zhang Ling had some guesses about his own strength. With the help of the vines on his arm, he was confident that it was not difficult to deal with a first-class master in a one-on-one fight.

And Li Changfeng was deep in thought and also had some plans.

The Medicine Gang is a powerful gang, famous for its expertise in medicine. There are many famous doctors and healers among them. Many Jianghu martial artists come here to seek medical treatment and medicine, and they have a prominent reputation in the Jianghu. Yaoshan, where its base camp is located, is the most important foundation of the Medicine Gang.

Yaoshan does not refer to one mountain, but the general name of more than a dozen mountain peaks in this area, including nearby lakes, valleys, and other areas.

This area has a mild climate and is suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs. After a hundred years of operation by the Medicine Gang, it is said that there are hundreds of acres of large and small medicinal fields, including many precious medicinal materials.

Although it started with medicine, it has also recruited many martial artists. No one in the entire Qingshan County would underestimate this force. Even the imperial court did not dare to underestimate the Medicine Gang.
