Crossing into Immortal Cultivation

  Xu Ziqing was extremely anxious in his heart. Rong Hua's severe injuries were all for saving him, and after being injured, he escaped for a day and night, during which time Rong Hua not only couldn't treat his wounds but also had to endure attacks from other demonic beasts - the remaining scars were proof of that, it was already quite difficult for him to survive until now.

  For many years, Hua has been with him, and is no longer a beast pet, but a family member.

  Family members were dying, and Xu Ziqing's five internal organs were all burning up.

  He was in a state of panic here, and his breathing became weaker and weaker.

  Xu Ziqing didn't know much about the beast's pet, and his knowledge was very superficial. He had no idea how to save Ronghua. Although he had many spiritual herbs, they were not effective unless they were heavenly treasures; otherwise, even if the demon beast ate them, it would be of no use.

  Unfortunately, although Lin Yuan's small secret realm was good and had many spiritual grasses inside, none of them were heavenly or earthly spiritual objects...

  No! It can't be said that way. Xuzi Qing suddenly remembered, the "essence" of the gathering of the "cave" in the lake bottom, is a very famous and excellent spiritual thing, but this spiritual thing has been eaten by Xuzi Qing, and merged into his flesh and blood...

  At this point, Xu Ziqing suddenly had an epiphany.

  Indeed, he ate the essence of the wooden element, and his blood and flesh were filled with the power of wood, which might be useful!

  As soon as he thought of it, Xu Ziqing rolled up his sleeves, revealing a section of white wrist, and with the other hand, he made a knife-like gesture, lightly slashing at the pulse. In an instant, a three-inch long wound was cut open, and fresh blood immediately gushed out. Xu Ziqing hastily picked up Rong Hua, pried open its beak, and let the bright red blood flow into it.

  After drinking the blood, the dull eagle eyes slowly regained their vitality, and the originally somewhat faded black feathers also gradually showed a faint sign of life.

  Useful! Xuzi Qing's heart was greatly delighted, and he immediately moved his wrist closer, also gently pressing the pulse gate on the left side, causing more fresh blood to flow out. The blood was fragrant and thick, but soon, it attracted many buzzing sounds of movement. Xuzi Qing became alert and turned his head to look.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, not far away on a sturdy branch of a tree, quietly crouched a jet-black leopard-like monster. Its mouth was slightly open, revealing sharp fangs that glinted with cold light, but its aura was reined in to an extremely subtle level, making it indeed difficult to detect in this mountain full of monsters.

  If Xu Ziqing wasn't a wood-type 'body' and wasn't interdependent with that giant tree at the time, he would have definitely not noticed it. However, assuming it was just an assumption, in the blink of an eye when turning his head, Xu Ziqing had already sensed it.

  Then, the leaves rustled softly.

  Xu Ziqing ruthlessly struck out with a Wooden Flower Finger. A green light flashed by, directly piercing the brow of that leopard-shaped demon beast!

  He could feel that there were still many faint hoofbeats in the distance, all belonging to the Xianyang Ridge demon beasts. Maybe they were only at the first or second level, but there were a lot of them, and if they rushed over, he would have to use some effort to deal with them.

  But at this time, Chun Hua was in a critical situation, and Xu Ziqing had to use his Thunderbolt technique to shock the many demons and not cause trouble for him.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, those demonic beasts saw what Xu Ziqing was doing and quietly hid, waiting for an opportunity. Xu Ziqing fed Chonghua fresh blood with one hand, while opening his right palm to release the Bloodthirsty Demon Vine.

  "Rong Jin, go eat." He said with a tone that was more cautious than usual, and also had a hint of coldness.

  The wisteria suddenly sprouted, two snow-white and slender vines hanging straight down from the treetop, quickly piercing into the corpse of that leopard-like demon beast! The leopard-like demon beast's flesh visibly withered, soon leaving only a bloody skin and a skeleton, even though the demon beasts were known for their bloodthirsty and warlike nature, they had never seen such a ferocious thing before!

  But as soon as it gets a little... Many clever ones, after seeing this scene, quietly retreat and scatter their hooves to escape immediately.

  However, a large number of low-ranking demon beasts with poor spiritual intelligence were left behind. Although they knew the danger of the demon vine through their instincts, they did not dare to rush forward easily.

  While greedily sniffing the strong-smelling blood, it anxiously scratched the ground, extremely uneasy. The demonic vine was extremely sensitive and had sucked clean the leopard-shaped demon beast, and another thought came: Mother, what about those, eat?

  Xu Ziqing's eyes gleamed with a bright blue light as he swept his gaze over the places where those demonic beasts had fallen, and then said: "If you go under that tree, I'll let you eat."

  You Teng was overjoyed, two vines swaying left and right: "Eat! Eat!" Xu Ziqing smiled slightly, then looked at Chong Hua again.

  At this time, Chonghua's 'essence' seemed to have recovered a lot, and the remaining torn wounds were also gradually healing. Only the most severe one on the right wing, as well as the fallen feathers, still showed no improvement, but at least they didn't continue to deteriorate.

  Fortunately, Chonghua's life is temporarily worry-free. Xuzi Qing let out a sigh of relief and wanted to feed Chonghua some more to try again. The wound on his wrist had already healed somewhat, and he was about to cut it deeper when he heard the awakened Chonghua's urgent low hiss.

  Xu Ziqing saw that it had regained consciousness and was overjoyed: "Chonghua, you've finally woken up!" Chonghua lifted its left wing and flapped it towards Xu Ziqing's wrist, letting out a series of shrill cries.

  Xu Ziqing was taken aback: "You're not drinking anymore? My blood is useful to you." Chong Hua immediately shook his head, and a look of anxiety also flashed in his eagle eyes.

  Xu Ziqing suddenly understood: "You mean it's useless now?"

  Chonghua nodded again.

  Xu Ziqing was somewhat disappointed. Chonghua's spirit was quite good at this time, it jumped up with its feet and flapped its wings to fly down from the tree.

  Xu Ziqing hastily grabbed it: "Chonghua, you can't 'mess around' now!" Chonghua hummed and continued to head downwards. Xu Ziqing somewhat came back to his senses but couldn't let Chonghua be so reckless.

  He then continued to carry Rong Hua's body and flew down under the tree, also putting Rong Hua on the ground.

  At this time, Chong Hua jumped again and came to the front of the leopard-shaped demon beast that only had bones left. It stretched out its claws, dug and scratched in the bloody skin, and finally pulled out a round green bead. This green bead was surrounded by a faint wind, Xu Ziqing recognized it as a Wind Attribute Demon Dan.

  Chong Hua turned his head and called out to Xu Zi Qing twice, then the eagle beak pecked at him, picking up the Wind Attribute Demon Dan and swallowing it in one gulp.

  The wind attribute elixir had just entered his abdomen, and Lei Hua immediately felt very comfortable and tilted his head slightly.

  Its entire plumage naturally fluttered, as if surrounded by a gentle breeze that rotated tirelessly... Soon, the gentle breeze disappeared, and the plumage returned to calm. However, at this time, Xu Ziqing discovered that where Ronghua had lost its "hair", some fluff "hair" had grown out, and the terrifying wound on its right wing had also slightly closed.

  It turns out that swallowing the same clan's demon pill is useful for Chonghua!

  Xu Ziqing thought for a moment, the Hua also belongs to the wind attribute, its wings and feathers are all related to the heavenly gift, so once injured, it can't be cured slowly.

  If you want to borrow external forces, it must be a wind attribute demon yuan, otherwise, it is still useless.

  Having figured out the reason, Xu Ziqing's heart felt a bit more at ease. It shouldn't be easy for Chonghua to swallow the Wind-attributed Demon Dan? In the dense and secluded Lin Yuan boundary, for five years, the demon vines had absorbed many demonic beasts, leaving behind numerous demon dans. Among them, the wind-attributed demon dans were not in short supply either.

  For Ronghua, Xu Ziqing would naturally not be stingy.

  He thought for a moment, and in his hand appeared five thumb-sized wind-attributed demon pellets. These five pellets all belonged to a first-class demon beast, and the grains were not large, he thought that if Rong Hua swallowed them, they wouldn't get stuck in her throat...

  Heavy Hua chirped happily, raised her head and let Xu Ziqing feed her. Every time she swallowed a grain, she would rub against Xu Ziqing's hand, extremely affectionate.

  Xu Ziqing's mood was also quite pleasant. Previously, various things had made him exhausted, but now that the matter with Chonghua was settled, he naturally felt much more relaxed. He carefully fed Chonghua. Every time Chonghua swallowed a pellet of medicine, his whole body would surely become agitated, and his feathers would fluff out in circles before settling back down again, which was really quite amusing.

  Xu Ziqing's lips curled into a smile as he fed the medicinal pellets one by one, until Ronghua's injuries were completely healed. Only then did he stop taking out the medicinal pellets. At this time, Ronghua came over to nuzzle and rub against him, trying to curry favor.

  Xu Ziqing just smiled and shook his head: "Don't be greedy, how do you know it won't harm you?" He only thought that helping the sprouts grow would ultimately be bad. As a cultivator, he couldn't greedily eat spiritual elixirs to increase his cultivation, so it was probably the same for this demon beast.

  Chonghua this time did not listen, instead lowered his head with a hum, and called out pitifully, with a pleading look in his eyes.

  It barely escaped with its life, how could Xu Ziqing bear to see it like this? He could only sigh and say: "I'll go ask Yun brother, if he agrees, then I agree." Chonghua's eyes had a hint of fear, she shrank her head, but still persisted.

  Xu Ziqing was amazed in his heart and immediately sank his consciousness into the seal to talk with his good friend. After a while, Xu Ziqing withdrew his consciousness.

  He only now understood that there was a great difference between demonic beasts and cultivators. Cultivators absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which belonged to their own kind, and transformed it into spiritual energy in their dantian. Due to the rarity of single-spirited roots, the spiritual energy inside the body was not pure, and the elixirs or pills had varying amounts of impurities. Although taking these elixirs often helped oneself, if one took too many, the impurities accumulated in the body, causing trouble when trying to expel them later on. Furthermore, this would affect their progress and even hinder their foundation-building. Demonic beasts were different, however. Whether they had entered the ranks or not, they absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth as well as the essence of the sun and moon, which combined to form a new power called demonic yuan.

  In terms of demonic beasts, their bodies are strong and powerful, and they don't need spiritual roots. They can naturally absorb and expel energy. When they absorb and expel energy, the same type of energy is absorbed into their abdomen, while different types are expelled. Added to this, the pure and unadulterated essence of the sun and moon is hidden within their bodies without any impurities. However, before the beast's elixir is formed, it absorbs very little spiritual energy. After entering a certain rank, the absorption of the sun and moon's essence will also increase several times, and the condensation of demonic yuan is the same. But even so, advancing in rank is still not easy. Simply relying on this kind of gradual progress, many demonic beasts find it difficult to endure. Furthermore, if they are born in the wilderness or savage forests, their nature is cruel and fierce, often occupying the upper hand, with the strong preying on the weak. After killing each other, they swallow the demonic elixir of other demonic beasts to increase their own power. As long as the powers are of the same type, it's like taking a nutrient pill, and there's no conflict with their own demonic yuan.

  So there is no harm in eating too much, as long as the monster itself can dissolve that demon pill, it will only benefit and not harm.

  Xingyun explained the situation clearly, and only then did Xu Ziqing understand Ronghua's thoughts.

  Since Chong Hua had made up his mind to increase his strength, he naturally wouldn't refuse. Afterwards, he didn't hesitate and took out the Wind Attribute Pellet from his storage ring again.

  He just didn't forget to remind: "If it can't be overcome, it's better to stop in time."

  Chong Hua bowed his head and picked up a pill of demon medicine, nodding repeatedly.
