Chapter 131: The Snake
"Are you flipping through the books about taming beasts again? The Ling family kid is planning to subdue the taming of beasts?"
An old man in the quaint and solemn library opened his mouth with a smile, and the young man closed the book and nodded in response: "I have been really interested in taming beasts recently. β
"When manpower is inherently exhausted, many times it is good to have a tamer to help. The old man stroked his beard and smiled, he was very familiar with the young people who often came to the library this year: "If you want a mount, I suggest you choose the iron bone horse, although its speed is average, but it has unparalleled endurance, hard-working, trekking mountains and rivers, even if you go to sea by boat, travel far away in the desert can be used, than those wolves, tigers, seemingly majestic mounts are much more practical." β
"The Iron Bone is indeed a good choice for mounting. Ling Qingyun nodded, the iron-boned horse is a famous breed among horses, and the iron-boned horse in the army can gallop for several days and nights with a heavily armed rider on his back without changing rides, and that terrifying endurance is enough to make most animals, including demon beasts, ashamed.
He knows the intention of the old man, ordinary people choose to tamer beasts often hope that the tamer has a strength similar to their own or even stronger to help themselves, but for Tianjiao, who is almost destined to become a strong person in the Linghua Realm, this kind of taming beast is really hard to find, they often look for tamers who can help them in other aspects, such as mounts for travel, falcons for reconnaissance, small monkeys with treasure hunting talents, etc., among which mounts are the most common choice.
"But I'm not going to pick a mount at the moment. Ling Qingyun continued.
"Oh?" the old man was slightly surprised, but he didn't ask more, he had been wandering around the library for decades, and as an old man, he could see that Ling Qingyun did not intend to reveal his tendencies towards taming beasts, and of course he would not touch the young man's privacy.
"Speaking of which, he looked at the Seven Star Sword Spectrum again, right?" Looking at Ling Qingyun's departing back, the old man couldn't help but have this thought: "A sword to force back the golden body realm, it must have been certain. β
The old man smiled, it didn't matter if someone copied a scroll of sword books, he was simply pleased that the strength of a studious student had improved.
But Ling Qingyun, who left the library pavilion, did not copy the sword book, but quickened his pace and walked briskly towards the most popular place in Nanming Academy, the cafeteria.
Soon, Ling Qingyun put the fragrant and nutritious meals in the canteen on the table, and at the same time, there were teasing voices from passing acquaintances.
"Brother Ling has a great appetite again today!"
Hearing this, Ling Qingyun had no choice but to look at the sumptuous delicacies in front of him and smile helplessly, Jin Xuanxuan, who was sitting opposite, still thought that he didn't have enough headaches, and made a grimace with a smile: "Brother Qingyun's appetite has increased greatly, and breaking through the Shiluo Quadruple is just around the corner!"
"Go, go, don't make trouble!" Ling Qingyun was helpless, this little girl knew that if she wanted to marry her back, she would definitely have a headache.
But seeing that there were three meat and two vegetables in front of Ling Qingyun, the two bowls of pale jade-colored rice were crystal clear, and the total amount of food was twice that of Jin Xuanxuan on the other sideβin fact, it was not surprising, the demand for food in the Shiluo Realm and the Thousand Forging Realm was not at the same level, the problem was that Ling Qingyun's meals were all for middle-aged students, and the energy contained in the same volume was much more abundant than the meals of the lower grades, and it was a little wrong to have them full in this situation.
Although Jin Xuanxuan is not in the Stone Spirit Realm, she also knows that ordinary students in the early stage of the Stone Spirit Realm can meet their needs with only three dishes, but Ling Qingyun has two more dishes, isn't this a big stomach? This has also become a joke that acquaintances often talk about when they meet Ling Qingyun after the experience of Qinglong Mountain.
Yes, this phenomenon of greatly increasing the amount of food occurred after the experience of Qinglong Mountain, and with the spread of Ling Qingyun's reputation as a strong enemy in the Golden Realm, he was really helpless.
"Brother Qingyun, shouldn't you really start pondering physical cultivation?" Jin Xuanxuan opened her big golden eyes and asked curiously: "Of course, it's good to be as powerful as Lin Erzhu, but Brother Qingyun, your advantage is the sword, and because of your half-heartedness, you will waste your cultivation realm or sword art realm, and it will not be worth the loss." β
This is currently the most common theory, saying that although Ling Qingyun won after forcing back the Golden Body Realm powerhouse with a sword, he realized that he was not physically fit enough to withstand the fluctuations of the battle against a high-level opponent, so he decided to strengthen his defense from physical cultivation to achieve both offense and defense.
This statement is quite marketable, after all, the appetite increases and the energy consumes more, which inevitably makes people think in the direction of physical cultivation. Moreover, the effect of the defensive rune also made Ling Qingyun's physical defense in the eyes of outsiders amazing, like the result of studying physical cultivation.
"Don't think about it, how can I have so much time to ponder physical cultivation?" Ling Qingyun looked helplessly at Jin Xuanxuan with a face that was not afraid of big things, physical cultivation is a genre that brings the mortal-level body refining to the fullest, although it is powerful, but the huge amount of time and resources consumed makes it difficult to ponder swordsmanship and other means, and now Ling Qingyun not only has to practice swords, but also has to study runes and transform exercises, how can he have time to ponder the most time-consuming physical cultivation?
So there is another reason for the increase in food intake.
"I think so, then I don't know what Brother Qingyun is doing with so much food. Brother Qingyun, if you eat too much but don't exercise, you will gain weight, and then you will be disgusted by girls~" Jin Xuanxuan put a cherry into her small mouth and said with a smile.
"If this comes true, I will have to tie you back to be the lady of the village, so as not to be a big deal!" Ling Qingyun said with a smile.
"Brother Qingyun, when did you learn this oily tone!" Jin Xuanxuan's face suddenly turned red, but her eyes were curved like a crescent moon, cunning and beautiful.
......
"It's all you, little guy, you eat so much all day!" Back in the dormitory, Ling Qingyun stretched out his hand and flicked, and a blue light fell to the ground, turning into a small snake and swimming around excitedly, as for Ling Qingyun's scolding, what do you care?
That's right, the culprit that caused Ling Qingyun's appetite to increase greatly was this little snake that was said to be a descendant of the green dragon, and these days Ling Qingyun finally saw from it a little bit of a dragon in addition to the symbiotic ability, that is, it could eat.
Before going to Qinglong Mountain, Ling Qingyun's main meal could be solved with only three dishes like other classmates, after all, superb swordsmanship would not consume more energy, but since this little snake lived in his body, Ling Qingyun's meal volume suddenly increased by two large plates, plus a bowl of rice, not to mention doubling the amount of food, but also increasing by two-thirds.
The first time the amount of food increased, Ling Qingyun thought that it was caused by not eating well in the wild, but for the third and fourth times, he finally found that the extra energy flowed into the green light in the body of the green snake, the so-called symbiotic fusion of course has to be both prosperous and lossy, eating together is really a good way not to expose the green snake, and it can also make the green snake absorb the rice and vegetarian energy that was originally indigestible, but the ridicule he received in this way made Ling Qingyun a little helpless.
It can be said that the daily food of the green snake is enough for an ordinary python to digest for more than a month, and the abundant energy of the Stone Spirit Realm has not made it weak, which really promotes the rapid growth of this green snake with extraordinary bloodline - although its size does not seem to grow at all, and its strength and speed are not comparable to when it was born.
Improving strength without growing tall, this is to integrate cultivation into growth, which is gratifying, Ling Qingyun is very skeptical that this little snake can still integrate into the body after it grows to a few zhang long, let alone find a suitable place to settle it.
Recalling all the way, Ling Qingyun couldn't help but think of the dean's strange gaze at him after the Qinglong Mountain experience, those eyes sparkled like a gambler who bet on the right treasure, Ling Qingyun only felt that his whole body was seen through by this dean, and then his extremely satisfied smile Ling Qingyun now felt a little numb when he thought about it.
"The Dean should have spotted you that day. Ling Qingyun looked at the green snake scurrying around in the room and said with a headache, how could a snake be so energetic?
"Hiss!" The green snake that hit the leg of the chair spat out a letter to show its dissatisfaction, its fusion talent came from the true dragon bloodline, how could ordinary people see through it?
"The powerhouse of the peak of Tianxing is also considered an ordinary man?" Ling Qingyun looked at the green snake with a smile, although you have the blood of a true dragon, you may not be able to achieve the Tianxing Realm in the future, so you are embarrassed to underestimate the powerhouse of the world?
However, the green snake has only been born for a few days, although it has spiritual intelligence, it is like a child, it is normal to have any strange thoughts, Ling Qingyun looked at the green snake running around and shook his head helplessly, and then closed his eyes cross-legged, and the palm of his soul was shining, and began his daily exercise cultivation.
The energy of heaven and earth, the power of spiritual stones, the power of true qi and the energy of high-grade ingredients are interacted and fused, sometimes as a waterfall to wash away the flesh and blood, sometimes as a river to broaden the meridians, sometimes the pores are dilated, and the waste in the body is released as turbidity, and the hidden golden light floats, lining the young man's body like a god Buddha.
After repeating this for half an hour, Ling Qingyun got up and stretched out his arms, only to feel refreshed, full of a sense of strength, and then looked at the green snake but did not make a fuss, and found a stone to rest - it was really welcome, found a spirit stone, and drew the power of the spirit stone into his body with ordinary breathing.
"This is the advantage of the Holy Spirit bloodline!" Ling Qingyun sighed when he saw this, he could grow quickly by drinking water and eating, this kind of talent was simply heaven and earth compared to the monks who practiced penance day and night but were stuck in a bottleneck and could not break through, but there was no way, no one could decide their origin.
But the Holy Spirit bloodline may not be able to do whatever he wants, Ling Qingyun walked over with a smile.
"It's almost digested, it's time to go out. Unceremoniously picked up the descendants of the green dragon like a hemp rope, and the words he said with a smile on his face made the green snake react strongly.
"Hiss!!!" The green snake let out a high frequency similar to a scream, and its body fiercely tried its best to resist Ling Qingyun's behavior, but Ling Qingyun's palm was like an iron tong firmly holding its seven inches, and the suction of the palm was together, and the green snake suddenly couldn't help but fall into it, turning into blue light and merging into Ling Qingyun's body.
Ling Qingyun nodded with satisfaction, after these days of pondering, he finally found a few ways to merge with the symbiotic fusion, and was able to control the fusion with the green snake by himself, so that he could effectively prevent the green snake from escaping out of the body without permission or not wanting to return to its position in time.
Although every time Ling Qingyun used the symbiotic fusion, the green snake screamed in amazement, as if he had been abused and imprisoned, Ling Qingyun did not have the slightest psychological burden - no matter how the naughty boy was taught, if he was disobedient, even the dragon son and grandson would have to be punished!
"This is all based on the fact that my strength is far superior to it, and it will be troublesome to suppress it if it is stronger. Ling Qingyun walked out of the room and was still pondering: "Attack the heart, you have to educate it ideologically, and let it listen to it well when you read and go to class, the prophet is polite and honest, there are no rules, if you don't listen, you have to let it know how much a true dragon descendant is worth, and how many people want to use it to refine the elixir." β
Thinking like this, Ling Qingyun felt that a certain mass of flesh and blood in his body seemed to tremble suddenly, but it was actually the green snake trembling, he smiled happily and walked towards the back mountain.
