Chapter 61: Crouching Tiger (1)
Shuisheng thought for a moment and said: "I think Daozhang will quickly rescue my brother and Xintang!"
Wumeng Daoist originally thought that Shuixiao would ask for a magical treasure or something else, but unexpectedly, he made such a request. A strange light flashed in his eyes, and his face slowly calmed down as he said: "Although I am not the master of you five, I do have a relationship with my disciples. Naturally, I won't sit back and watch Dacow three people encounter difficulties. Yudingmen has wronged me in the past, thinking to put me to death several times. I didn't want to get entangled with Yudingmen again, but today, for the sake of Dacow three people, I have no choice but to help out a bit. As for Xintang, more than 20 years ago, I was injured by a black blood spider and had a rare poison in my body. It was Tiying who saved me with an extremely precious spiritual medicine. Now that Tiying has been killed by Baili Mu, how can I ignore his only daughter, Xintang? You can rest assured, once I consolidate the boundary, I will immediately go to rescue the four of them."
Shui Sheng heard that General Tie Yi was killed, first stunned, then a sharp pain in his heart, the bright smile and majestic figure of General Tie Yi appeared before his eyes, his eyes turned red, and he asked hoarsely: "Was General Tie Yi really killed by Bai Li Mu?"
He nodded and said, "It was said by Bai Li Mu himself. I should have gone to that town to check it out and collect the body, but the affairs of the living are more important than those of the dead. If he is aware in the afterlife, he probably won't blame me!" After speaking, he let out a long sigh!
Shuǐ Shēng's fists clenched tightly, and a faint black glow suddenly appeared on his face. He said in a hateful tone: "I'm going to kill all these bad people one by one!"
Feeling the sudden surge of cold, dark energy from Shuǐ Shēng's body, Wū Mù Dào Rén couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression. He sighed and patted Shuǐ Shēng on the shoulder, saying: "Wait until you've cultivated your magic to the Yuán Yīng realm before speaking like that! Alright, let's first send this unwelcome guest away!"
Waiting for Wumeng Dao to see the true appearance of Qinglin Jie, he also checked the restrictions inside and outside the cave, and was frightened again. He didn't expect that there were two such ferocious fourth-level demon beasts hidden in the deep gully outside the cave. If it weren't for the narrow entrance at the bottom of the water pool, not only would Water's life be in danger, but he himself would also be killed. Although he vaguely heard Water's loud shout when he was cutting off the giant python with his sword outside the stone room, he was busy with his cultivation at that time and had no time to pay attention. Later, when he scanned the stone cave with his divine sense, he found that the restriction array and Water were all safe, so he didn't take it seriously!
He reached into the giant python's body and pulled out a green elixir the size of a pigeon egg, handing it to Shui Sheng. "This is the demon beast's demonic elixir," he said. "Any demon beast that advances to level three or above will condense a demonic elixir in its body. Whether used for alchemy or consumed directly, the demonic elixir will greatly increase a cultivator's magical power. This Qing Lin Jiao likes to reside in deep ravines and secret valleys, which is perfect for water-attribute demon beasts. You should carefully keep this demonic elixir safe and use it when you're breaking through the bottleneck!"
Shuǐ Shēng took out the gourd from his storage bag and said, "Dao Zhang, I've captured the essence of this green-scaled python in this gourd. If we put this demon pellet and the essence together, I wonder if the essence will devour it!"
"The essence of the demon beast can only be used by cultivators who are skilled in talisman crafting and those who cultivate ghost path techniques. It's useless to us ordinary cultivators, so let's just destroy it! As for the demon pill, it's better to store it in a special jade box to preserve it." Wu Mu Daoist said, taking out a jade box and carefully storing the demon pill inside before handing it to Shui Sheng. He then took the jade gourd from Shui Sheng and opened its mouth, preparing to release the essence.
Just as the calabaza was opened, the spiritual beast in the Water Birth Spirit Bag suddenly let out a violent struggle, as if this pure soul had greatly stimulated it.
"Master Dao, don't move yet! This spirit beast in the bag sees the essence and wants to run out of the bag, I don't know what's going on!" He said, taking out a spirit beast bag from his bosom.
"Oh, is that so? If you say the spiritual beast is interested in the demon pill, it's still acceptable, but I've never heard of one being interested in the essence of the soul!" Wu Mu Dao Ren was taken aback at first, and then a hint of curiosity arose. He returned the jade gourd to Shui Sheng, took over the spiritual beast bag, examined it carefully, and said: "My magical powers have recovered, even if there is a fifth-level demon beast in the bag, I'm not afraid of it. Wait for me to make some changes to these two乾坤 arrays, you release it, and let's see what kind of strange beast He Lian Qing Chen has raised."
After a cup of tea, a three-zhang-long and three-zhang-wide prohibition light array appeared in a corner of the cave. After experiencing the power of the law array, Wumu Daoist removed the silver talisman seal from the spirit beast bag and threw it into the center of the light array. Shui Sheng followed Wumu Daoist's instructions to manipulate his divine thought power set up in the bag, opening the spirit beast bag.
In a flash of black light, a cat-like spirit beast about one foot long emerged from the spirit beast bag. As soon as it landed, its body flashed with black light and transformed into a length of five feet. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a small black tiger, with two bright yellow eyes that were quick to look left and right. Seeing the semi-transparent light screens in front and on both sides, the pupils shrank, but instead of rushing forward recklessly, it crouched down and leapt high towards the top of the cave. With a loud crash, the black tiger fell heavily to the ground as if it had hit something hard, got up with a struggle, lifted its head, and saw that above its head was a large net made of transparent light threads flashing in the air. The net shook several times before disappearing without a trace.
The black tiger opened its mouth, let out a low growl, and looked at the two figures standing outside the semi-transparent light screen - Wumu Dao Ren and Shui Sheng. It stretched out its right front paw and swung it with force, a black claw shadow flashing onto the light screen. The light screen shook slightly and then returned to normal. A look of confusion flashed in the black tiger's eyes, followed by two more swift swings of its paws, but the light screen only shook lightly again!
The little black tiger suddenly became enraged, pounced forward with its head, and used its two front paws to tear at the light screen. From time to time, it also bit it with its mouth.
It was running around the light screen, jumping up and down, but it couldn't get out no matter what. After struggling for a whole meal's time, the light screen didn't change at all. Xiao Hu finally gave up, lay on the ground, wagging its tail back and forth, making "Wu Wu" sounds with its mouth, staring at Shui Sheng and Wumu with a pitiful expression!
Taking the opportunity, Shui flew quickly through "Yù Shòu Jué" but couldn't find any demonic beast that looked exactly like the little black tiger. Wū Mù Dào Rén also couldn't recognize what kind of demonic beast this little black tiger was. However, Wū Mù Dào Rén could tell that this little black tiger was a young beast and at most a third-grade demonic beast.
If this black tiger was indeed a fifth-level demon beast, the two of them would probably be unable to tame it and could only kill it to avoid future troubles. But now it's different, looking at the black tiger's appearance, it's obviously an underage young beast.
Although a master can subdue and drive adult demonic beasts, it is difficult to use them as soul-connected destined spiritual beasts unless the demonic beast's power greatly surpasses their own. However, if the spiritual beast's power far exceeds that of its master, capturing such a beast would be mostly useless. To cultivate a destined spiritual beast with power comparable to its master, one can only search for young beasts with enormous potential or unhatched beast eggs and carefully nurture them using their own vital energy and divine willpower in order to succeed.
This young black tiger has at least three levels of magical power, and its divine powers will be difficult to estimate when it grows up. It is the dream of cultivators, and it is much easier to tame it as a spiritual beast than to directly tame an adult demon beast. The only concern is whether He Lian Qingchen had already tamed this black tiger as a spiritual beast beforehand, and whether the "Mind Erasing Talisman" could completely erase the divine seal left on the black tiger's body by He Lian Qingchen.
Wu Mu Dao Ren thought for a moment, considering the divine abilities of Qian Kun Lao Ren in the past. He believed that the talisman he had specially refined could not be erased from the mind of a mid-term Yuanying cultivator. Turning his head, he said to Shui Sheng: "Do you dare to take this little tiger as your Ben Ming Ling Shou?" Shui Sheng heard these words and looked at the black little tiger's agile and nimble appearance, suddenly feeling itchy in his heart, and nodded repeatedly.
Wumudao chuckled and said, "If you want to thoroughly subdue a demon beast and make it surrender from the heart, relying on others for help is useless. You can only do it yourself, thoroughly defeating it, so that it will truly fear and respect you from the bottom of its heart. With the help of the Two Instruments of Qiankun Array, it cannot escape. First, confine it for ten days or half a month to temper its nature. You have the 'Beast Control Decree' in hand, within ten days you should be able to think of a way to deal with it! As for the green scale python's spirit, let's keep it first. If you can really subdue this black tiger, send it as a 'gift'!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked to the edge of the pool, releasing a large fireball, burning the python's corpse. Although the silver scales on the tail of the python were excellent materials for making armor and shields, the python's body was stuck in the wall of the water cave and could not be taken out. Wu Mu Dao Ren had many treasures in his hand and was not good at refining equipment, so he would not go to great lengths for some trivial materials. He simply solved it with a wave of fire. Although the python's skin was thicker than rock when it was alive, how could it withstand the fierce flames after death? In no time, it turned into a pile of ashes and flowed into the ground with the pool water.
Wu Mu Dao Ren had just advanced to the late stage of the Golden Elixir, so he naturally needed to consolidate for a period of time. As for the other green-scaled python in the deep ditch, he didn't have the energy to deal with it for the time being. After instructing Shui Shen carefully, he closed up again.
