Chronicles of the Green Vine: A Mortal’s Path to Immortality

Chapter 135: Two Years

Seeing this, Zhang Ling took out a small dish, then took out a pill and crushed it into powder with his hand. After that, he mixed some clear water to turn the powder into a cyan spiritual liquid and placed it next to the kitten. The little thing meowed a few times, crawled to the edge of the dish, and began to suck the spiritual liquid inside. Before long, the little thing had drunk most of the spiritual liquid, and the life energy in its body became more and more intense. Suddenly, Zhang Ling discovered that the little guy actually had two tails behind its butt. This made him puzzled. He picked up the Illustrated Handbook of Demonic Beasts and carefully checked the information recorded about the White Spirit Beast several times. But this kind of demonic beast did not have the characteristic of growing two tails. Could it be a mutated demonic beast! He muttered in his heart and carefully scanned the White Spirit Beast cub with his divine sense. At this moment, the little guy had finished drinking the spiritual liquid in the dish and was crawling towards his feet. He reached out and fixed the little guy in mid-air in front of him, carefully observing it for a while. He felt a faint trace of fire spiritual power on the little thing. The attributes of the White Spirit Beast are not uniform. Whether it is the five elements attribute, or attributes such as wind and thunder, they have all appeared. The fire attribute is also common. However, there is no record of a White Spirit Beast with two tails. This is also why he doubted whether this demonic beast cub had mutated. Speaking of mutated demonic beasts, they are actually roughly divided into two types: benign mutations and malignant mutations.

The mutated demonic beasts that cultivators talk about are naturally benign mutations, because malignant mutated demonic beasts often don't live long after birth and die. Mutated demonic beasts will have some characteristics that are different from the race, and when they grow up, their strength is much stronger than ordinary demonic beasts. Some mutations will also master some special innate divine powers. For example, the Treasure Seeking Rat in legends is derived from the Devouring Spirit Rat. Its strength is very weak, but its innate divine power can distinguish the aura of spirituality and is extremely sensitive to various spiritual energies. It is much better than cultivators at finding spiritual veins and spiritual objects. The Treasure Seeking Rat can also be artificially cultivated into a mutated spiritual beast, but the success rate is pitifully low. Every time this kind of exotic beast appears, it will be frantically snatched by cultivators. This kind of mutated demonic beast cannot be measured with spirit stones. Many powerful mutated demonic beasts are also circulating in the cultivation world. Like in ancient times, it is said that a ghost sect used blood sacrifice evil methods to cultivate a giant ape alien beast. This beast's innate divine power has a natural restraint against the essence of demons, ghosts, and yin winds. It would not be at a disadvantage even when fighting demons and ghosts with much higher strength. There are also some demonic beasts that are proficient in special escape techniques, such as the Earth Breath Beast, the Wind Fire Bird, and the Golden Light Cicada, etc. At the same time, he also guessed that the black-robed man he killed before was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If he wanted to cultivate a spiritual beast, there are many types of demonic beasts in the cultivation world, and the White Spirit Beast is not a rare type of demonic beast, and its potential is limited. Ordinary cultivators would naturally not choose the White Spirit Beast as a spiritual beast. And the black-robed man placed a restriction on the mother beast, could it be that this person knew that the cub in the mother beast's belly was a mutated demonic beast? However, whether this is the reason is unknown. In the following days, he observed the White Spirit Beast cub, and saw that the cub became more and more energetic day by day. Besides growing two tails, there were no other abnormalities. Seeing this, he also had the idea of cultivating a spiritual beast. Zhang Ling immediately took out some spirit stones and placed a special formation on the ground. Then he dripped a few drops of blood essence on the formation. Then he used his divine sense to control the blood essence and engraved a simple Mind Control Formation pattern on the formation. This is a method of controlling demonic beasts recorded in the jade slip. Then he placed the White Spirit Beast cub in the center of the formation. Zhang Ling's hand gestures changed, and incantations sounded in the air. After a few breaths, several rays of spiritual light hit the formation, and the formation took effect, condensing a layer of bloody light. He saw that the formation patterns he had engraved with blood essence suddenly seemed to have life, and little by little merged into the White Spirit Beast cub's body. Finally, a small gray spot of light flew out of the White Spirit Beast cub's body and flashed into Zhang Ling's mind. This White Spirit Beast was just a cub, and it was just born and naturally would not resist. He completed the contract extremely easily. He closed his eyes and sensed it, and he sensed a faint aura in his divine sense.

This is part of the White Spirit Beast cub's demon soul, but it is still very weak. This kind of contract is actually a kind of mind control technique. After doing this, Zhang Ling fed some spiritual liquid to the White Spirit Beast cub. Then he started to busy himself with other things. He patted his storage bag and took out two wooden boxes. One of the boxes contained a set of black and red soft armor. This is the repaired soft armor, and the other box contained a bracer-like component, which was also covered with some small black scales. On the side of the bracer, there was also a small mechanism that could hold some short arrows. At the bottom of the box were more than twenty white bone short arrows. Each one was white and glowing. This was another magical artifact made from the bones of a giant snake. The short arrows were all one-time attack methods. When he killed the black-robed man before, he used three short arrows to break through the man's spiritual power shield. This was the effect of him throwing them directly. If he used this black scale bracer to activate them, the power would be even stronger. Next, he refined the soft armor and bracer, and directly put the soft armor and bracer on his body. After putting them on, Zhang Ling moved his hands and feet a bit and felt no discomfort at all. With the soft armor, his life had an extra layer of protection. The soft armor was under his clothes and was a hidden defense. The bracer, combined with the white bone short arrows, could also play a significant role in battle. Afterwards, he planted all the spiritual medicine seeds he had collected in Yanhsia Immortal City into the spiritual field. These spiritual medicines could all be found in Yanhsia City, and it didn't take him much time to collect them all. These spiritual medicines were all used to refine the special pills in the Poison Scripture. ... Cultivation knows no years. In the blink of an eye, two years passed quickly. On this day, a fierce battle was taking place in a rocky area west of Red Rock Mountain. Zhang Ling commanded the Cicada Wing Sword to transform into a flash of yellow light, conjuring seven yellow sword shadows, swaying left and right, surrounding a shirtless man. The man was surrounded by rolling black energy, waving a dark iron rod-like magical artifact, making a whirring whistling sound, forming a layer of defense around him. However, he was still gradually overwhelmed by the siege of the yellow sword shadows. Suddenly, a flash of white light pierced through the iron rod's defense, and with a soft bang, the black energy on the man's body was reduced by more than half, scaring him into retreating quickly. But behind him, a light and thin long sword flashed and pierced through his body. Then, several sword shadows rushed up and cut him into several pieces in one fell swoop. Zhang Ling glanced at the man's corpse and saw some purple-black patterns on the man's left arm, like tattoos. This was a cultivator of the Alien Demon race. He skillfully grabbed the storage bag on the other party's body, and his figure disappeared. In a short while, he appeared in a pile of rocks, glanced at the corpse of an old man at his feet, and Zhang Ling sighed. The old man was his subordinate and was killed by an Alien Demon race person in a sneak attack before. "Uncle Zhang, we killed five Alien Demons this time, and we also lost three people," a young man in a gray short shirt reported to him with a bow. "Bury them, and we must return as soon as possible."

"Yes." Half an hour later, Zhang Ling led seven Qi Refining stage subordinates back to Red Rock Mountain, and then went to a partial hall on the mountain to report the casualties of the past ten days. He then returned to his cave.
