"That kid still had a passion back then, in order to restore my body, he climbed the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain against all odds, and finally gave the old man another life. However, there was something else going on there. ”

"He was there, and he had a responsibility that could not be missed. It was a spiritual consciousness that had not yet awakened, but it hid a secret related to the survival of the whole world. He hid that spiritual consciousness in the demonic spiritual sea in his body, and used his own cultivation to find a way to awaken his spiritual consciousness. ”

"There are many things he has to do for this important task. It also includes a trip to a shattered demon realm. Eventually, he lost his important companion and almost died a tragic death himself. Even so, after coming back to life, he still couldn't let go of this heavy responsibility. ”

"He used the demon baby's divine consciousness to invade your body, and he was indeed full of evil intentions, and he wanted to take advantage of it. But before that, he had already hidden that spiritual consciousness in the demon baby, properly protected, and valued it more than his own divine consciousness. In the end, for some reason, the demon baby entered the body of this pheasant, of course, his divine consciousness could not invade, but that spiritual consciousness was still inside, in the body of this pheasant, the center of the demon baby. ”

"Although the demon baby can survive in the pheasant's body, it will eventually be broken and corrupted if it is not perfectly connected to the veins, and eventually the spiritual consciousness will only dissipate in the body of the animal. When he was completely destroyed, he asked you to come here in the hope that I would save this demon baby who was about to be destroyed. ”

"As for the secret, I'd better wait for it to grow and let you know it myself. ”

With that, the old man put his withered hand on the peacock's head.

The pheasant's writhing head froze suddenly, and a little glimmer gradually appeared in the stupid little eyes.

Bursts of white mist gradually rose around the old man's body, and it took more than half an hour before he let out a long breath and leaned back in his chair.

And the pheasant had a lot of colorful feathers on its body.

"Beep!"

It chirped, flapped its wings and flew up, circled around the room, and landed on Lin Yi's shoulder.

Lin Yi subconsciously stretched out a finger towards it.

"Beep!"

The peacock buried his head and rubbed his fingers.

In the blink of an eye, he has changed from a stupid pheasant to a smart bird.

"Finally introduced all the aura into the vein, and it can be regarded as returning to the cultivation of the third reunion of wisdom. The old man stood up tremblingly, and finally smiled, "Fang Cai, I have connected its spiritual heart to you, it is now your contract spirit beast, and it will never betray." ”

Looking at the peacock's smart eyes, Lin Yi couldn't help but smile, "Where did its consciousness come from? Is it the spiritual consciousness that Sun Xinzhao has been protecting? Or is it some residual consciousness of Sun Xinzhao?"

"Neither," the old man shook his head, "the spirit is still not awakened. The consciousness of the mind has long since dissipated. This is the first time that this spirit beast has been poured into Huiguang from the idiocy of a pheasant, and it can be regarded as a newborn child. When it grows to the point where it has human intelligence, it may be able to find some memories of the mind. Maybe then we can find out the truth of this matter. ”

"In that case, then you are a peacock. Lin Yi patted the peacock's head lightly, "You should also cultivate well!"

"Beep!"

"It has just been reborn, and although it has a third-level cultivation, it doesn't have any combat power yet. However, it can gather aura and fly you in a short time, and you can usually let it exercise more. The old man picked up a wooden staff and said slowly, "Alright, now it's time for the second thing." ”

"The second thing?"

"Let you suffer danger, and make a hard trip, how can you run in vain. The old decay spirit dissipated, and there was nothing that could be given to you, only a set of cultivation qi techniques, called Refining Soul Baise. If not, I'll teach you. ”

This old man is different from Sun Xinzhao, and from the inside to the outside, people can't feel a trace of evil breath. Lin Yi decided not to give up this opportunity, and arched his hand: "Then there is Mr. Lao!"

"Okay! Refining the spirit of Baise, unlike the orthodox qi refining of the Daomen and the Martial Sect, what is cultivated is the Baise demonic qi, and what is refined is thousands of living beings. ”

Lin Yi took half a step back, and said with a pale face: "Could it be that I want to kill people and practice?"

"Haha, of course, there are also people in the demon gate who do this. Of course, refining qi in this way is a thousand miles a day, and it will get twice the result with half the effort, but it is also easy to be devoured in the heart and go crazy. The old man smiled and shook his head, "If you are a righteous person, don't say killing, it means slaughtering a large number of beasts, I'm afraid I can't bear it." But don't worry, there are demon beasts and evil insects everywhere in this world, and for the sake of harming one party, refining the demonic energy of these demon beasts can also improve a lot of cultivation. ”

"In the Lingyun Valley on the north bank, a demon python has recently come, it is only a first-level demon beast, but it is not something that the surrounding villagers can easily solve, and there is also a reward in the nearby Qingmiao Town. When you practice this set of mental methods, you will get rid of this demon python, refine its demonic energy, and go to the town to change some hanging red, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Lingyun Valley is only dozens of miles away from Lingwan. Further north, in the depths of Lingyun Mountain, there are patches of ancient jungles and highly poisonous swamps, shrouded in a poisonous fog that ordinary people will never set foot in.

According to the Baise Immortals, that poisonous mist was full of all kinds of demon beasts, and ordinary cultivators and martial arts practitioners did not dare to approach it.

Occasionally, some smaller monsters will avoid natural predators and come outside the poisonous fog, or even close to nearby villages and towns, which will become a scourge.

Like that python.

The peacock flapped its wings and slowly landed in front of the valley.

It had grown several times larger, covered in glowing spirit feathers, and had a wingspan of three or four meters.

"Good work. Lin Yi let go of its claws, jumped down, and patted its head gently, "It's only been a few times that I've practiced it, and I can fly so far, it's amazing!"

"Beep!"

The peacock chirped, gradually became smaller, and finally became the size of a sparrow, flew on Lin Yi's shoulder, closed his eyes and rested.

Although it can only fly about ten miles at most, and it is not long enough to ride it, it is much faster than trekking on foot, and it can directly fly over the strait and mountains.

In the future, you can also gradually go to the soul list remnants that are a little farther away.

It has been seven days since I cultivated on Jingling Island. He finally learned the method of refining the spirit of the Baise Immortals, and also learned some basic martial arts.

After searching around for a while, I finally found the entrance to the cave that was chilling. The surrounding ground was littered with signs of overpowering of flowers and plants, some of which had withered, while others had grown exceptionally luxuriantly.

It was caused by the saliva.

He took out a cloth bag from his bosom, placed it on the grass in front of the cave, and carefully lifted the cloth, and a foul smell immediately wafted away.

"Gross!"

It was so stinky that he covered his nose and hurriedly hid behind a big tree in the distance, and even the peacock on his shoulder let out a dissatisfied "beep!" and flew to the treetops.

The herbs in this cloth bag, though foul-smelling, attract giant snakes. After a while, there was a "rustling" sound.

Although he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but warp his teeth.

A giant snake with a turquoise body slowly slid out. It was half a meter thick, and I don't know how long, and the triangular head had swam in front of the cloth bag, and the tail was still hidden in the darkness of the cave.

Although it was only a first-order demon beast, it looked almost terrifying like the giant spider in the Night City. It is far from the same level as those fierce beasts in the mountains and wilderness, even if it is a tiger, I am afraid that it can be swallowed in one bite.
