A Record of A Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 200: The Girl and the Girl

Though the white-clad girl’s face appeared innocent and pure, her expression was now solemn, and her entire body was enveloped in a strange silver glow, making her seem even more mysterious and eerie!

What was most surprising was that the white-clad men and women following behind her all looked extremely cautious and tense. Not a single whisper or murmur could be heard, and the looks they cast at the girl’s back were filled with reverence!

Among them was the arrogant young woman who had appeared in the sand earlier, along with her cultivation partner. Yet the haughty expression on her face had vanished without a trace. Like the others, she barely dared to breathe, appearing particularly obedient and well-behaved!

Suddenly, the elven girl at the front stopped in her tracks, and naturally, the entire group behind her came to a halt as well.

Because not far ahead, a clearing appeared—a deep green pool of water. In the center of the pool, several black reefs jutted out above the surface, upon which grew a dozen or so shiny, jade-like Lingzhi mushrooms that stood out prominently!

“Is this the place?” The elven girl looked at the pool with great interest for a moment, then asked in a clear, delicate voice without turning her head.

“Yes! Grandmaster, the top-tier demonic beast Azure Water Crocodile is hiding in that pool. During the previous herb-gathering expeditions in the Forbidden Zone, one of our sect’s disciples was swallowed alive by that beast. However, another disciple managed to escape with their life!” Among the group of Moon Veil Sect female disciples behind her, an older woman stepped forward and respectfully bowed before replying to the elven girl.

“Grandmaster?” If disciples from the other six sects had heard this, they’d likely be shocked enough to dislocate their jaws!

According to the custom in the immortal cultivation world, seniority is divided by one’s cultivation realm. A girl who looked so elven should only be called “Grandmaster” if she were a core formation stage cultivator from the Moon Veil Sect! And this Forbidden Zone supposedly did not allow anyone below the foundation establishment stage to enter! What was going on?

Judging by the expressions of the other Moon Veil Sect disciples, who showed no surprise, they must have long known the secret behind this!

“Hm! Understood, everyone, you may withdraw.”

At this, the elven girl gave a commanding order with a confident air far beyond her youthful appearance, her face showing an unusually capable demeanor.

Then she said to those behind her, “Get ready! Once I lure the Azure Water Crocodile out of the water, you will use the newly refined combined secret technique, ‘Yin-Yang Traction Technique,’ to attack in pairs simultaneously. With the power sufficient to match the full force of foundation establishment stage disciples, eliminating this beast should be no problem. After that, we’ll head to the next top-tier demonic beast’s lair and continue clearing out those spirit medicines that no one dared to gather before!”

Though the girl’s voice was soft, it was full of confidence. The male and female disciples all nodded in agreement without showing any doubt.

Seeing the elven girl turn around, she parted her lips, and a pink circular ring about the size of a thumb slowly emerged from her mouth. Then, swelling with the wind, it grew rapidly until it was roughly the size of a head, emitting a low humming sound and dazzling radiance—extremely spiritual!

From the way the ring appeared, the brilliance it emitted, and the immense spiritual power it contained, it was certain that this was a genuine magical artifact.

Could this girl really be a core formation stage cultivator?

Not long after, a tremendous roar echoed in the secret cave, which was over a dozen meters deep underground. Then came several low bellowing sounds resembling water buffalo cries, full of anger. This was followed by a series of thunderous rumbling noises, causing the beast’s howl to grow fierce a few times before gradually weakening.
