Chapter 63: The Cultivation of the Jasper Scorpion
Early in the morning, Zhang Zhiping lay leisurely on a Taishi chair, his eyes slightly closed, shaking his head from time to time, scratching his ears and cheeks, obviously his mind was immersed in the sea of knowledge at this moment, specializing in what miracles and wonderful methods, and he couldn't help but think of what wonders.
At this time, a small tail suddenly poked out of his chest, swaying left and right, feeling that no one was paying attention outside, and then he saw a palm-sized jasper scorpion, and crawled out with its probe. As if sensing that Zhang Zhiping's mind was not on it, the jasper scorpion immediately shook its spirits, raised two giant pincers, and crawled out with its head held high, it wanted to escape!
Soon the jasper scorpion left Zhang Zhiping's body, and when he left, he reluctantly glanced at his former small home. In the past, its life was very good, it was full of food and drink every day, and then lay in its own warm little home, absorbing the breath that made it comfortable, and then sleeping leisurely, it was so happy!
It's just that I don't know what's wrong with it lately, but the servant who has been serving it with all his heart has suddenly rebelled! Every day, I don't say anything about it, but I also input something into its body from time to time, which makes it uncomfortable all over my body; every time I finish it, I feel that my body is extremely tired, I feel hollowed out, and I just fall asleep. After living like this for half a year, it can't stand it anymore, so it wants to run away! It wants to make the servant deeply realize his mistake, and then respectfully invite him back! Then, uh, just go on with the old life.
Thinking of this, it feels a little hungry, why don't you eat something before leaving?
At this time, Zhang Zhiping's eyes opened slightly, and he watched the jasper scorpion leave secretly first, and then paused, and then bent back to find the spirit beast pill to eat.
Of course, Zhang Zhiping didn't want to torture the jasper scorpion, but to study the cultivation techniques of the jasper scorpion. Half a year ago, he had just finished sorting out the harvest, and he thought that the Jasper Scorpion had reached the peak of the first order for a full year, but its strength seemed to be constant at this step, and it had not made the slightest progress. He knew that this was the peak of the strength of ordinary jasper scorpions, and only the jasper scorpions of the scorpion king level could break through the second order.
Zhang Zhiping was naturally not willing to do this, although the strength of the jasper scorpion was very weak, even an immortal cultivator in the early stage of qi cultivation could easily kill it, but the breaking method and poisonous attributes on its tail made him very greedy. Now that there is only a first-order jasper scorpion, this tail can break through the defensive cover of the Great Perfection of Qi Training, if it can break through the second-order, wouldn't it be possible to directly break through the defense of the True Yuan Shield in the foundation building period? If you can cultivate the jasper scorpion, you will definitely be a big helper for yourself in the future.
It's just how to cultivate the jasper scorpion? The strength of most demon beasts is fixed, so many immortal cultivators choose those naturally high-level demon beasts as their own spirit pet cultivation, more just to provide specific resources for demon beasts to practice on their own, if they want to create a special exercise for demon beasts, then they can't catch it, only in a sect like the Royal Beast Sect that specializes in demon beasts, there are some demon beast cultivation techniques.
There are thousands of types of demon beasts, but it doesn't mean that one kind of demon beast cultivation method can make all demon beasts cultivate, even the body structure is different, how can there be a unified exercise? Therefore, each kind of demon beast must create a special exercise for it, so that this demon beast can cultivate, even in the Imperial Beast Sect, there are only a few specific demon beast cultivation methods, and the others are also the same as ordinary monks, looking for naturally high-level demon beasts to cultivate.
Zhang Zhiping didn't expect that his luck would happen to find a technique suitable for the cultivation of scorpion demon beasts, so he could only develop it himself. It's just that although there are thousands of exercises he has studied, it is easy to create an exercise suitable for the cultivation of the human race, but if it is said that he creates an exercise for scorpion demon beasts, then he will be confused, fortunately, this place is Baiyun City, where trade is developed, and he immediately bought a large number of jade slips related to demon beasts and demon insects.
Among these jade slips, there is no lack of jade slips that cultivate demon worms, but they are different from what he wants, but the cultivation jade slips that cultivate Gu worms. Gu art is also one of the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, and it actually has a lot of places that can help cultivation, but because it is often used by evil cultivators to defend against the enemy, it has gradually become the flow of evil arts. The Gu magic jade slips that Zhang Zhiping bought were cultivation methods that focused on how to guide all kinds of demon insects to kill each other, and then use all kinds of cruel means to finally create extremely poisonous Gu worms. Due to the prohibition of cultivating evil laws in the Five Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm, the owner of the shop still secretly took it out to show him, and finally bought it at a great price!
It's just that Zhang Zhiping is not interested in the Gu worms cultivated in this way, what he wants is a helper who can continue to grow and cooperate with his combat system during battle, not a powerful weapon, in that case, his spells are much more powerful than these Gu worms, what else is he spending this effort for?
Gu Technique could only be given up temporarily, and then he looked at the information about the cultivation of demon beasts. There is no specific practice of demon beast cultivation in these materials, which is a taboo for the Imperial Beast Sect, and it will never be traded here in an open and honest manner. However, there are some introductions to the cultivation principles of demon beasts in these materials, so that Zhang Zhiping is finally no longer confused.
Unlike the human race, which relies on spiritual roots, the cultivation of demon beasts relies on bloodlines, and it is rumored that each kind of demon beast has a powerful ancestor, and their bloodlines are passed on among the descendants. The concentration of the bloodline determines the level of this demon beast, because how many concentrations of bloodline can absorb how much aura, and when it reaches a certain stage, the speed of absorbing aura is the same as the speed of dissipation, and the level of this demon beast will be stable there and will not be promoted.
The so-called demon beast exercise is to improve the utilization rate of the spiritual energy absorbed by the bloodline, just like the human race, everyone's spiritual root is the same, why do mortals have no strength, but immortal cultivators can move mountains and seas, isn't it just that the exercise is used to refine the spiritual power in the body, and improve the absorption efficiency of the spiritual root?
Zhang Zhiping came to this conclusion based on some basic information and his own experience, then there are two ways to help the jasper scorpion cultivate, one is to increase the concentration of the jasper scorpion's bloodline, and the other is to help it refine and absorb the spiritual power into his body, just like a human running exercises in the meridians, refining the spiritual energy into mana, and storing it in the dantian.
Is it just that scorpions have meridians and dantians? Zhang Zhiping scratched his head, he knew that demon beasts would condense demon pills when they reached the fourth order, that is, comparable to the foundation building period, which showed that demon beasts must have places where they could store spiritual power, so naturally there would be channels for spiritual energy to run; and most of the demon beasts had one or two natal spells, so naturally there would be corresponding demon power operation channels, so where would these places be?
Zhang Zhiping bought a lot of demon beast internal structure illustrations and studied them carefully, and he quickly found a problem, that is, the problem of meridians and blood vessels. In the previous life, there has been a lot of debate about whether the meridians and blood vessels are the same thing, but in this life, Zhang Zhiping can be sure that although the meridians and blood vessels have a lot of overlap, they are not the same thing, but when it comes to demon beasts, they do not have meridians, but cultivate through blood vessels.
