Bid farewell to the past

And embark upon my journey

While I’m young

Leave the ordinary

And look for freedom

Stay low

And avoid

The hustle and bustle

No one knows

The hidden tricks

My determination forever remains

Let the deceptions go in vain

With the weapons

Held in my hands and my heart

No evil spirit can hurt me

Take a trial alone and burn my blood

One more glance of that familiar face

Let go without worries

From now on, the world is my home

The sky is no longer out of my reach

The power of being magnanimous and cautious

The magic of all extraordinary encounters

Thousands of years in a flash

I broke open my way

Who’d understand

The obstacles I overcame

Hope we’ll have a chance to meet again

Cultivate in the mortal world

Nothing I see

Really matters

After all, ordinary is not mediocre

Cultivate in the mortal world

After all, ordinary is not mediocre

Wang Yu A Mortal's Journey to Immortality-Where the Wind Rises Season 2

Episode 2

During the Spiritual Roots test on the Immortal Ascension Assembly,

mine were found to be quite poor.

But I wouldn’t give up.

Instead, I’d work harder than ever.

Move forward steadily

and build well-grounded power.

That was the path I chose.

My new friend Wan Xiaoshan was murdered.

The rogue cultivators who killed him were after his belongings.

The cultivation world is just like the mortal world.

It’s full of betrayal and deception.

I’ve got to be careful,

and I can’t trust people easily.

Yellow Maple Valley

And then later, I took the Immortal Token I got from Monk Golden Light

Immortal Ascension

Yellow Maple Valley

to the Yellow Maple Valley and became a disciple there.

From here, I’ll officially embark on my journey to immortality!

I’m so sick of you!

I’ll teach you a good lesson today!

Senior Brother Lu,

why won’t you just leave me alone?

The Foundation Establishment Elixir you got with your Immortal Token

should have been mine!

Give it back to me!

Gusty Wind Blade

Enough!

You are such a bully!

This is between him and me!

Martial Uncle, it’s none of your business!

You are arrogant and rude!

The new disciples are indeed disrespectful.

Master!

But, Junior Brother Wu, you hurt him badly.

He’s my new disciple and I teach him myself.

Senior Brother Ye,

your disciple is too ruthless.

His moves were all lethal.

How could I

not stop him as their Marital Uncle?

We were both young once.

How did we get to where we are today?

By being merciful?

In the cultivation world,

strength is above all!

The Foundation Establishment Elixirs should belong to those who are capable.

Junior Brother Wu, as a veteran cultivator,

you should know it better!

People’s lives are more important than the Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

Senior Brother,

I’m not in charge of the major matters,

but a small matter like this

is definitely my responsibility.

Junior Brother Wu, it’s a crucial time for you

to break through the middle-stage of the Foundation Establishment.

Are you sure you wanna fight against me for this person?

Don’t worry.

Leave this matter to me.

I have a solution.

Han Li.

With your cultivation base,

carrying such a treasure

will only cause you more trouble.

Besides, with your poor Spiritual Roots,

no matter how many elixirs you take, you’d still

have a hard time to accomplish the Foundation Establishment.

Why don’t you

let me keep it for you?

What do you say?

Martial Uncle Ye.

I know

my Spiritual Roots are poor,

but I’m willing to work harder.

Martial Uncle,

I don’t need you to keep it for me.

You’ve got some balls.

But you are so stubborn!

Why don’t you look at the bigger picture?

How about this?

I’ll give you some Spiritual Stones

and herbs in exchange.

Don’t reject my kind offer!

Looks like I have to give in this time.

Thank you, Martial Uncle.

I’ll give you the herbs later.

You guys will meet the Sect Leader tomorrow.

You may go back now.

I can’t blame others.

After all, it’s because I’m not strong enough.

It’s more important to survive for the time being.

One day, I will let you all pay for what you did!

I’m Disciple Han Li.

Greetings, Sect Leader!

Hundred-Opportunity Hall

I’ve heard what happened yesterday.

Since Junior Brother Ye exchanged Spiritual Stones and herbs for the elixir,

just let it go this time.

You are new in the Valley.

It’s better to stay away from trouble.

Go to the Hundred-Opportunity Hall to receive a task

and lie low for a while.

Yes.

Sect Leader!

Strength is above all in the sect.

There’s no fairness.

Who would stand up for a disciple who’s with False Spiritual Roots

and only at the Qi Condensation?

I’m so happy that I got the elixir.

And I’m even luckier to meet you, Xuan’er.

Senior Brother Lu,

you are still new in the Valley,

yet you’ve already made trouble everywhere.

I’m afraid

the Elders will resent you for this.

Xuan’er, you care about me so much.

I wouldn’t be worried

even if I made more trouble.

Well,

however,

that punk with False Spiritual Roots is quite annoying.

Hadn’t been

for him,

I could’ve got the Foundation Establishment Elixir much earlier!

But you got it anyway.

Even so, you’d better be low-key,

in case you make too many enemies.

I’m not the one who makes enemies,

but someone else.

And,

since I’m with you,

I’m not afraid at all.

I’m also new in the Valley.

What can I do?

But everybody knows that you are Patriarch Red Whisk’s niece.

He will surely protect you.

So, you can’t get rid of me!

You bad boy!

Who broke into my herb garden?

Elder!

I’m Han Li.

I received a task

from the Hundred-Opportunity Hall to tend the herb garden.

So I’m here to learn from you.

Sorry if I

disturbed you.

Don’t just stand there.

Come in.

I’m busy with my cultivation.

I have a lot of things to do.

A brat again?

Why do they keep sending me

Martial Uncle Ma Yellow Maple Valley

ignorant and smug kids?

You’d better leave right away.

Save us both some time.

My name is Han Li.

Greetings, Elder!

Just call me Martial Uncle Ma.

Why do you think you can do this job?

I started farming when I was little.

My former Master was a doctor.

I helped him

tend the herb garden for years.

In that case, how many herbs can you recognize here?

30%.

This is Yellow Ball Herb.

It looks like a yellow silk ball. It can invigorate meridians and Qi.

That one! That one is called Worm Onion.

It’s shaped like a green worm. It can cure the inflammatory disease.

And that one!

That is Red Meridian Root.

It’s good for the heart and blood flow.

But the growth age of these herbs is much longer than that of the ones I tended before.

Okay, enough!

Stop showing off!

You do know something about the herbs.

The boy before you

was ignorant

and clumsy!

He almost ruined half of my herbs!

How would I know you wouldn’t make the same mistake?

Please give me the benefit of the doubt. I won’t let you down!

This is the token for the herb garden.

You’ll be in charge of it.

Don’t kill my herbs!

Thank you, Martial Uncle Ma!

You’ll find the rules and the herb list

under the shed.

You’d better read them carefully.

May I ask if we have Chalcedony Mushroom and Violet Monkey Flower?

You want to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir?

Yes!

That’s right!

Nice try! But having the formula alone won’t work.

On the Great South Continent,

there’s only one place where you can find those spiritual herbs.

And the place is not here.

Then where is it?

Blood Forbidden Ground!

Three years later

I’ve helped Martial Uncle Ma tend the garden for three years.

He is quite strict,

but a nice person.

He even starts caring about me.

Martial Uncle Wu is kind

and willing to help others.

He’s taught me a lot.

As for Martial Uncle Ye,

he still owes me some herbs.

But I won’t count on getting any from him.

I found a secluded cave

near the herb garden.

I can use my green bottle to grow spiritual herbs there.

With the help of those herbs,

I’ve reached the peak stage of the Qi Condensation.

But if I want to go further,

I need to try to build foundation.

Since I have False Spiritual Roots,

I need to take tons of

Foundation Establishment Elixirs before I can make it.

I have the formula,

Foundation Establishment Elixir, Chalcedony Mushroom, Violet

Monkey Flower, Roast Leech, Jade, Celestial Fruit, Knot

Flower, Anemarrhena Rhizome, Black Paeony Root, Golden Ginseng,

Mulberry Twig, Tianmu Root, Pangolin Scales, Moon Butterfly,

but some key herbs are still missing.

Pachysandra Herb, Dark Plum, Tiger, Wuceng Flower, Franchet

Groundcherry Calyx, Clematis Root, Caterpillar Fungus, Dragon

Blood Root, Mus Covite, Dragon, Ovientvine, Wintersweet

Flower, White Paeony Root, Giant Knotweed Rhizome, Hare Dung

I can only find them in the Blood Forbidden Ground that only opens once every 60 years.

There’s a Senior Brother Xiang,

who joined the last Forbidden Ground Trial.

Maybe he can tell me something about the Ground.

Greetings, Senior Brother!

I’m Zhong Yu.

It’s said that you know very well about the Blood Forbidden Ground.

So I hope you can tell me something about it.

Sure!

I am

Xiang Zhili.

What do you want to know about it?

Can we obtain one Foundation Establishment Elixir

if we join the Blood Forbidden Ground Trial?

Greetings, Senior Brothers!

I also want to know

about the Blood Forbidden Ground.

Of course.

You are correct.

As long as you are willing to join the trial,

you will get one elixir after it’s over.

But the thing is

that you need

to come out alive.

I heard only 30% of the disciples survived the last trial!

Yes.

Senior Brother,

where is

the Blood Forbidden Ground located?

I don’t think I’ve met you before.

Are you a new disciple of the Valley?

Yes.

Actually,

the location of the Ground is not important.

What’s important is that you should know

what kinda place it is.

We are all ears.

It’s a long story.

The Blood Forbidden Ground was once a treasured

place which was abundant in Spiritual Energy.

All kinds of rare spiritual herbs grew there.

But due to the excessive picking,

the herbs were getting fewer and fewer.

Finally, for fighting over a rare herb,

a battle erupted among the sects.

And it lasted

for almost 100 years.

Desire

and greed

are human nature.

And in the Forbidden Ground,

they were magnified unlimitedly.

The once-peaceful ground

was flooded with blood.

The fierce battle

almost threatened the future of the cultivation world.

Therefore, the seven sects initiated a plan,

adding a powerful restriction in the Ground.

Every 60 years,

it’d open for only 5 days.

Due to its special formation,

only cultivators at the Qi Condensation can get in.

I see.

No wonder there are limited spots for the trial.

Yes.

I heard there were many demonic beasts there.

That’s right.

And what’s more interesting

is that the beasts only hang out at the places

where the spiritual herbs grow.

Even though the beasts are dangerous,

they are animals after all.

You need to be more careful

about those cultivators

when you are there.

The fight between cultivators

is way more brutal than the attack of the beasts.

So,

if you want to survive the Ground,

it requires wisdom and courage.

It’s… It’s too dangerous!

But you should also know

that if you can’t get the herbs from there,

it’ll be extremely hard

for you to improve your cultivation base further.

And that’s why

many people would still love to take the risk.

Thank you for your advice, Senior Brother.

200 years later

Back then,

I had no choice.

This is the only place where I could find the herbs I needed.

It’s now or never.

I didn’t have another 60 years to wait.

Joining the trial was my only hope to improve myself.

I had only six months to prepare.

I had to seize this opportunity

and improve my survival skills.

Mortal

Mortal

Escape from the mortal world

No need to ask about the long way home

My tranquil mind settles as still water

Yet there’s a universe inside

Half a life has gone by

Don’t linger on the old times

Wish I could reach the stars

With just my bare hands

Light a beacon

Guide me to the answers of all beings

Illusion or emptiness

Who took my soul away

Let me live a life filled with ups and downs

I’d love to take adventures and feel the power of love and hate

Forget about the confusion and obsession

I’ve already seen clearly every bit of it

Who can open the door of enlightment for me

Easy come, easy go. Just smile, we are all mortal
