Chapter 23: The Mystery of the Little Thing
Xia Mu refined the essence of the fierce beast in his body, and sat at the bottom of the waterfall at the back, planning his training life for the next three months, and faintly had an idea:
"I have now opened up three major acupuncture points in my body, and I need to precipitate in a short period of time, I will go deep into this fierce beast mountain range for thousands of miles at most, and then move laterally, sweeping the periphery of the fierce beast mountain range for thousands of miles, if you have enough time, it is not impossible to consider exploring a deeper place. ”
At this time, night fell, Xia Mu looked at the bottomless pool under his feet, and decided to rest for one night.
"Roar......
In the Beast Mountains, the sound of roaring came and went. Night is the world of fierce beasts, and for cultivators, try not to go out if they are not active at night.
Of course, if his own strength is strong enough to suppress all dangers, it is another situation, at least for now, Xia Mu does not have this kind of strength.
"Let's find a place to cook first. ”
Xia Mu glanced around the cave, and finally dug a cave with his bare hands on the wall on the left side that entered and exited by one person. The cave is not deep, only four or five zhang.
Beasts have a keen sense of smell, and if they want to make a fire to cook without being detected by the beast, they can only enclose the smell of ingredients in a space and not emit them. Of course, in the future, Xia Mu will be promoted to the fetal palace, and there will be no need to be so troublesome, and the spirit array can be outlined to directly seal the smell.
Xia Mu's movements were very quick, after digging out the cave, he took out the bear's paws, washed them by the pool, and then took out a bronze small tripod, quickly lit a fire, and began to add seasonings and boil.
When he went out this time, he borrowed a lot of things from Old Man Han Feng, including this bronze tripod and various condiments, and even a copy of "Cooking Recipes"
The flesh of the bloodthirsty bear is ruddy as jade, quite elastic, and the blood is rich, and before it is put into the ding, it already exudes bursts of sweet taste, which is mouth-watering.
"The bear paw in the world is already a top-notch delicacy, not to mention the fierce beast that has been nourished by the aura and has gradually set foot on the cultivation, this bear paw boiled is definitely a delicacy in the world!" Xia Mu drooled, and quickly put the cleaned bear paw into the ding, and began to boil.
After a while, the clear water in the ding boiled, mixed with various spices and bear's paws, boiled into a golden soup, exuding a strong aroma, filling the entire closed small cave, lingering.
"Goodong" Xia Mu couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
If this cave hadn't been sealed with stones, the fragrance would have definitely attracted a large group of fierce beasts, because this was not ordinary flesh and blood, but the most essential part of the bloodthirsty violent bear's body, which was boiled by Xia Mu with various spices, which fierce beast had eaten it?
The soup is rich, tumbling in the ding, and the bear's paws of the bloodthirsty bear are floating in it, gradually becoming golden and buttery, and the aroma is overflowing.
This is definitely a great tonic, although it is not a real flesh and blood medicine, but eating it can also make people energetic, increase their strength, and improve their strength and physique.
He used a dagger to cut open the golden stewed bear's paw so that the soup could penetrate and add more flavor, then opened a jar of honey, smeared it on the surface of the bear's paw, and simmered over low heat.
"Hmm, it's so fragrant. ”
The stew was almost done, Xia Mu tore off a piece of stewed golden and tender meat, re-coated it with a thin layer of honey, and took a bite, the soup overflowed from his mouth, sweet and delicious, so that Xia Mu almost bit his tongue.
His eyes were closed, his face was full of aftertaste, revealing a look of intoxication, and this first bite made him feel hot all over his body, especially comfortable, and it was really delicious.
"It's so delicious!" Xia Mu tore off a large piece of meat again, the meat was golden and fragrant, and he took a bite of it.
"Goo-dong!"
At this moment, there was a huge sound of saliva swallowing suddenly from the small cave, this sound was naturally not made by Xia Mu, his cheeks were bulging, his mouth was full of bear paw meat, where was there an extra mouth to make a sound.
"What kind of creature is this?" Xia Mu was a little surprised.
Opposite him, there was a palm-sized creature squatting there honestly, a pair of big and godly eyes staring at Xia Mu, and a huge saliva swallowing sound came out of his mouth.
It's round, like a golden hairball, if the limbs are contracted, it is estimated that it can be used as a juju to play, and I don't know what kind of creature it is, and it has a pair of pale cyan wings on its back, which seems to be able to fly.
Xia Mu sat opposite it and stared at it for a while, not understanding where this creature came from, and there were no small caves nearby for it to get into.
"Goodong", another huge swallow, this time Xia Mu saw it very clearly, it was indeed the little guy in front of him.
Xia Mu hesitated for a while, then took out a piece of bear's paw meat from the ding and threw it over.
This creature seemed to be in a hurry, picked up the bear meat that fell beside him, gobbled it up, and ate it all in a few bites, and then raised its little paws greasy and stretched out to Xia Mu, revealing a longing look.
"It doesn't seem to be dangerous, but this creature is a little weird, where did it come from? After making sure that this creature had no hostility towards him, Xia Mu suddenly picked it up, put it in the palm of his hand, and looked at it carefully.
"Babbling......" Xiao Bu was angry and began to make a fuss, but it was not because Xia Mu picked it up, but because he didn't consciously give him food.
"It's so cute. Xia Mu smiled happily, tore off a piece of bear's paw meat again, carefully smeared honey on the little guy, and suddenly the little one was quiet, it was like a starving ghost reincarnated, holding the bear's paw meat bigger than itself, and gnawed it quickly.
It ate an amazing amount of food, and after eating, it asked Xia Mu for it, which was unbelievable, and in the end, most of the bear's paw meat fell into the belly of Xiao Budian, and even the soup was not spared.
"Little one, do you have a Qiankun bag hidden in your stomach, you eat more than me. Xia Mu kneaded and pinched him, turning it around, and had a lot of fun.
"Babbling ......" The little creature protested, very dissatisfied with this title, and then as if drunk, he stumbled up from Xia Mu's palm, only to see Xiao Bu's wings move slightly, and then disappeared out of thin air.
The smile on Xia Mu's face suddenly froze, and his eyes showed shock: "Could this be the supernatural power "Shuttle Void"? ”
He searched around, the cave was not big, only four or five feet in radius, but after observing for a long time, he didn't see Xiao Budian's figure, and it was obvious that he was no longer in the cave.
"Could it be the remnant of the primeval chaos beast?" Xia Mu was surprised, Xiao Budian's origin was very mysterious, and he had the magical power to shuttle through the void, obviously not an ordinary fierce beast, but he couldn't think of what kind of fierce beast this was after racking his brains, and decided to wait for the old man to come back before asking.
He collected his thoughts, put aside the small problems for the time being, and sat down in the cave and began to cultivate.
Before you know it, the dawn is breaking in the east. The sky is getting white, and it's starting to light up.
Swish!
Xia Mu opened his eyes suddenly, and two rays of light shot out, as sharp as a blade, and as soon as his body moved, he rushed out of the cave and disappeared into the vast forest sea in an instant.
"Whew......"
A moment later, there was a roar of wind wolves in the ancient forest outside the waterfall, but soon the roar turned into wails and screams, and then the sound faded away, and everything was calm again.
It didn't take long for Xia Mu to go and return, with a bloody murderous aura on his body, and after just a while, he killed another wind wolf, and his combat power was close to the realm of the fetal palace.
"It's hard for the beasts around here to threaten me anymore, and you have to go deeper to have the effect of training. ”
After Xia Mu opened up the three major acupuncture points in his body, he absorbed the essence of many fierce beasts, and his strength increased a lot, and the fierce beasts on the periphery of the fierce beast mountain range were killed like killing chickens, and they had to continue to go deeper and challenge the more powerful fierce beasts.
His current strength has far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators in the realm of enlightenment, even if he is a master of the fetal palace realm, if he does not use spiritual arts, he may not be his opponent.
However, Xia Mu is not in a hurry, the two spiritual skills, he has already refined, according to the agreement with the old man, he can now practice the "Heaven Breaking Finger".
The Heaven Breaking Finger uses the ten fingers of both hands as weapons, which can be used for long-range attacks and melee combat, and the requirements for the cultivator's physique, especially the hardness of the ten fingers, are extremely strict.
Beginners initially need to hit the mountain stone with ten fingertips every day, so that the essence blood and aura in the human body can be better integrated with the ten fingers, and it can be regarded as a small success when they can penetrate the mountain stone with ten fingers.
There are countless kinds of body refining martial arts between heaven and earth, and Kaishan can definitely temper the physical body, strengthen all parts of the body and the five internal organs, and the Heaven Breaking Finger also belongs to a similar spiritual skill, but it strengthens the ten fingers of the cultivator, and at the same time contains a variety of powerful fingering.
Xia Mu studied carefully for a long time, and began to cultivate according to the records on the Heaven Breaking Finger, the first step of the Heaven Breaking Finger was to temper the ten fingers, hitting the rock with his fingertips until he could pierce the rock.
This process is very painful, ten fingers connected to the heart, not just talking, simply Xia Mu's body is comparable to a fierce beast, after all kinds of medicinal baths, taking a lot of flesh and blood essence of fierce beasts, he quickly passed this stage.
Then, Xia Mu began to try the use of various fingerings, pointing, poking, scratching, and hooking...... , are the most basic skills, are broken down and disassembled to practice, and then combined use, which requires a certain amount of time to run in and practice to achieve practice makes perfect.
Time passed bit by bit, a month was quietly spent in Xia Mu's cultivation of the "Heaven Breaking Finger", the aura in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range was far inferior to the Qiankun Holy Courtyard, but there were endless fierce beasts here, and they could consume the flesh and blood essence of the fierce beasts at will, which would be of greater help to Xia Mu to refine his body and cultivate his spiritual skills.
At this time, Xia Mu was like a dragon trapped in a small stream, entering the sea, without all kinds of restraints and scruples, he could cultivate and hunt fierce beasts to his heart's content.
Every day, Xia Mu's strength is slowly growing, and the cultivation of the Heaven-Breaking Finger is getting closer and closer to Xiaocheng.
During this time, the little one never showed up again, and seemed to have left this area, which made Xia Mu a little depressed, the little guy was very cute, and the origin was mysterious, it may be the relics of the primeval beasts, with incredible magical powers, but now that there is no trace, Xia Mu gradually forgot about it.
