I have Immortality In The Cultivation World

“Green Snake?”

Lin Heng looked confused, trying hard to recall something.

He vaguely remembered saving a small snake when he was young, but could not clearly recall whether it was green or white. As a teenager, he had also saved other animals like chickens, ducks, fish, cats, and so on.

“Little Green was saved by the benefactor and fled for its life to Wu Mountain.”

The Spirit Ginseng child recounted, “While the Mountain God was teaching the Dharma, she was fortunate enough to overhear a few words, and after over a decade of cultivation, she finally managed to transform into a human form. Hearing of the epidemic in Linyang a few days ago, she feared that the benefactor might be affected by the disaster, so she came to visit!”

Teaching the Dharma was not made up; it was a standard method for the Mountain God to gain incense offerings and the power of wishes.

The Mountain God was in charge of the rise and fall of mountains, trees, and grass, as well as changes in the earth’s qi and control over clouds and snow. Although these responsibilities seemed broad, they were far less than those of the River Lord and Earth God.

The River Lord and Earth God had jurisdiction over many people, and their powers were closely connected to people’s livelihoods, making it easy for them to gain the power of incense offerings and wishes.

Human beings were scarce in the mountains, and the intelligence of wild beasts was simple and vague, resulting in significantly less incense offerings.

By teaching the Dharma, however, both humans and spirits and monsters in the mountains could embark on the path of cultivation, making them the most devout followers and adhering to the orthodox path of the gods!

Nevertheless, the orthodox path was slow in showing results, and many Mountain Gods couldn’t wait, so they thought of other devious ways to harvest incense offerings, such as catalyzing earthquakes, landslides and flash floods, or collaborating with Evil Gods, and so on.

The surrounding populace, forced by the disasters, had no choice but to offer sacrifices to the Mountain God!

“Cough, cough!”

Lin Heng coughed violently a few times. Observing Little Green’s appearance, which was as beautiful as a flower bathed in moonlight, he believed her story somewhat—seven to eight parts because more importantly, he had nothing, nothing at all worth deceiving.

“Little Green, is there still hope for me?”

The Spirit Ginseng child nodded, “Although my mana is weak, this minor epidemic and evil spell can be easily dispelled.”

While speaking, she made a spell with her hands, and streams of green light gathered at her fingertips, merging into Lin Heng’s body.

Lin Heng felt a sense of relief throughout his body. His previously withered muscles began to recover at a rate visible to the naked eye, regaining a healthy, rosy hue under the mighty vitality.

Thump!

The Spirit Ginseng child turned pale and fell to the ground unsteadily, causing her mana to be interrupted suddenly.

Lin Heng anxiously asked, “Little Green, what’s wrong with you?”

“The benefactor’s vital energy was devoured by the evil spell. To avoid affecting your future path, I transferred some of my own vitality into you, which harmed my Yuan Qi.”

After becoming a spirit, the Spirit Ginseng child did not awaken any innate Cultivation Techniques or Divine Abilities, but instead, its vitality grew increasingly strong. It could exhale it to merge into another person’s body, using it to repair vital energy and cleanse and strengthen their mana.

Lin Heng felt both distressed and grateful; yet, being merely a mortal, he had no idea what to do.

“Little Green, I’ve heard a storyteller say that monsters absorb human Yang energy to cultivate. You should quickly absorb my Yang energy.”

“Giggle, giggle, giggle.”

The Spirit Ginseng child let out a light laugh, sitting cross-legged to regulate her mana, and said, “That refers to evil spirits and ghosts cultivating demonic techniques. I am a disciple of the Mountain God and follow the orthodox methods.”

After a short period of regulated breathing, her energy stabilized.

“Now that the benefactor’s body is healed, I should return to the mountain. The city is under the jurisdiction of the Earth God, and no demon or ghost is allowed to enter at will.”

“Will you come back?”

Lin Heng asked softly, a young man enamored, who could resist a beautiful and gentle older sister?

“Of course.”

The Spirit Ginseng child took off a golden bell bracelet from her wrist and put it on Lin Heng’s wrist. “Whenever you want to see me, just shake this bell. I will receive the message and come down the mountain.”

Having never touched the skin of a young girl before, Lin Heng’s face turned slightly red as he nodded eagerly in agreement.

The Spirit Ginseng child formed a spell with her hands, turning into a wisp of blue smoke and vanishing.

The rooftop.

Zhou Yi saw everything with his own eyes.

After transforming back into the appearance of a young Daoist acolyte, the child furrowed its brow and said, “I reminded him twice, yet he still did not inquire about the evil spell.”

“No matter.”

Zhou Yi said, “It’s his first time meeting a monster and that naturally gives rise to doubts. In the future, when I pass on the methods of cultivation to him and his power grows, he will seek out the truth on his own!”

“I have to pretend to be a girl again?”

The Spirit Ginseng child made a bitter face. It inherently had no gender distinction, but having appeared male for thousands of years, assuming a female form was naturally awkward.

Zhou Yi glanced at the child, silently took out a smartphone from his sleeve, and pressed the play button.

“Big brother, I want this skin.”

“Brother, save me quickly…”

“Ying ying ying, brother, you’re so bad!”

“Your girlfriend is so fierce, I only feel sorry for brother!”

“…”

The Spirit Ginseng child never imagined that evidence of its embarrassing past would remain.

“Don’t worry, immortal master, I’ll make sure Lin Heng listens obediently!”

…

One month later.

All the villagers and townsfolk in the county received Spirit Talismans.

The epidemic finally subsided, and all the people, whether they had fallen ill or not, revered the Earth God deeply.

They offered incense in the morning and evening and made offerings day and night.

Another half a year.

News came from Qingyun Prefecture: the City God, having heard of the Earth God of Linyang’s meritorious deeds in disaster relief, invited him to serve as a Judge under his command.

The temple priests spread the news, which caused a huge stir in Linyang County.

Countless townsfolk flooded into the Land God Temple, kneeling and praying for the Earth God to stay in Linyang County.

Some of the more impassioned people shouted in front of the Land God Temple.

“Linyang can be without a Prefect, but it cannot be without the Earth God!”

“I’d rather be a dog or chicken under the Earth God than a commoner of Daheng!”

Others went door to door organizing, attempting to create a ‘mansion of thousands of people’s umbrellas,’ to beg the Earth God not to leave his position.

The County Government Office.

The second floor of the back hall.

Prefect Zhao stood by the window, watching as swarms of people gathered near the Land God Temple of the government compound.

Crying and wailing, they knelt in prayer.

It was as if the departure of the Earth God from Linyang County meant they could not survive.

“That one’s methods are indeed clever!”

Prefect Zhao exclaimed with admiration, “On the eve of his departure, he reaps once more and even receives a mansion of thousand’s people’s umbrellas. Such a grand scene isn’t easy to conclude.”

His tone was somewhat displeased. Ever since he took office in Linyang County, the County Government Office had nearly become redundant due to the influence of the Land God Temple.
