Immortality and Cultivation: Starting with Harvesting the Talents of Demonic Beasts

Chapter 89 A Talent That Makes People Greedy (Fourth Update, Seeking First Subscription)

However, he was torn about whether or not to seize the blood of the spirit.

On the one hand, the amount of essence blood was indeed insufficient; a tiny drop was not enough to seize a first-level treasure seed of the spirit.
On the other hand, there is concern that, as the old man in charge said, this is indeed a rare and unknown demonic bird, which even the senior members of the Sun family, a family of beast tamers, could not identify, and it may crowd out a seed position in the future.

"I can't worry about that now!"

Lin Changheng's resistance to such powerful demon beast blood essence was really not high. After much hesitation, he decided to seize the spirit. "It's just that it's rare in this region. It's not impossible to find it in the future. If I keep hesitating like this, I'm afraid I'll hesitate when all kinds of high-level demon beast blood essence are in front of me in the future."

"It is said that 'the path of cultivating immortality is one that everyone strives to cross, and the core of it is the word 'struggle,' which means not only struggling against the Heavenly Dao, but also against others, and even against oneself.' There is some truth to that."

Lin Changheng has always cultivated good relationships and avoided conflict and fighting, but he also knows that unnecessary disputes can be avoided, but disputes on the path of cultivation are unavoidable.

If one truly desires immortality and to become an immortal, then taking a cautious and steady approach is merely a means to move forward steadily; decisively pursuing the Dao is the guide to traversing the path to immortality.

The two seem to be in conflict, but in fact they are a unity of opposites.

Lin Changheng immediately took out the drop of pale blue essence blood, which was as white as mercury, and placed it in his palm.

Directly communicating with the Sea of ​​Consciousness and the Primordial Cauldron, with a firm gaze,

"Take away my soul!"

call out!
The primordial cauldron spewed forth azure clouds, and the essence blood in his hand had vanished.

The next instant, clouds billowed, and a pale blue treasure seed phantom, three times larger, slowly took shape within the cauldron.

It spins on its own in the inner circle, showing no intention of moving to the empty space on the outer circle.

"This is……"

Lin Changheng began to ponder, and after a moment he had an epiphany: "After the five seeds derived from the [Mortal Essence Blood] filled the seed slots, one slot became empty, which was then occupied by the new [Turbid Fiend Essence Blood]. If the seed slots had not been filled before, the higher-level seeds could not have been moved?"

"Therefore, is it possible to avoid wasting seed positions?"

This explanation was reasonable, so Lin Changheng stopped wasting time thinking about it and directly activated the newly formed treasure seed.

[Spirit Stealing: 2/100]

……

Upon seeing this, Lin Changheng's eyes lit up.

Not only did they finally learn the name of this demonic bird—the Rending Wind Falcon,
It was because of this little bit of essence blood that two points of progress were stolen from the spirit!
Previously, only two portions of the essence blood of a first-tier demon beast could accumulate one point of progress, so this can be considered a fourfold increase.

Lin Changheng has already figured out something: there is a certain connection between cultivation level and essence blood, which seems to be a change in the level of life.

The Rending Wind Falcon is most likely a Turbid Core Demon Bird, equivalent to a Pseudo Core cultivator in humans.

Turbid elixir is also of the third stage, and false elixir is also a type of elixir formation!
It can be reasonably inferred that only fifty drops, or fifty portions, of such essence blood are needed to seize the first level of the spirit realm.

And how many drops of essence blood could a single Gale Falcon produce? It would certainly be more than that of a first-tier demon beast.

But considering this, the pressure of seizing spirits in the future is not so great, and hunting demons is a feasible method.

Currently, however, the core method for providing a large quantity of such resources is through animal husbandry.

Keep watching.

[Effect: Possesses the bloodline of the Netherworld, naturally endowed with wind-like qualities, and possesses innate talents such as "Blade of the Void," "Howling Wind and Soul-Screaming," and "Azure Eyes of Insight." Upon successful Spirit Seizure, one can choose one to refine.]

"Hiss... Such talent?"

Lin Changheng couldn't help but take a deep breath.

【Blade of the Void】is clearly a powerful offensive talent, and may also increase speed.

【Howling Wind and Crying Soul】, through its "howling wind", is easily associated with the worldly martial arts masterpiece "Lion's Roar", only the object is different. It is not the ear, but related to the soul, and can be used to attack the soul.

【Azure Eyes Observe the Microscopic】 is mostly related to the farsighted talent shared by birds. It can observe the microscopic, which is quite remarkable and can be used as a supplementary means.

As expected of someone with the Netherworld Void Bloodline and suspected to be a Turbid Core Demon Beast, all three of its talents made Lin Changheng envious.

He desperately wanted to seize the spirit and use it for himself. But that was just a thought. For now, he could only take it one step at a time and first perfect the accumulation of the [Mortal Impurity] and [Turbid Fiend] bloodlines.

You can have aspirations, but you shouldn't be overly ambitious.

Lin Changheng naturally knew what was going on.

With the remaining feather, Lin Changheng had a sudden idea and tried to seize its spirit, but the Yuan Ding did not react. So he put it back into the box, affixed a talisman, and sealed it away.

Lock in the spiritual energy for later use.

……

For the remaining two days, Lin Changheng chose to go out.

I did two main things.

Firstly, because he has been continuously detoxifying the eggs of the Black-shelled Tortoise, it has now been quite effective, and the situation has improved considerably.

However, the turtle eggs were still weak and needed to be replenished.

Shopkeeper Xu was a practical businessman. Although he couldn't cure the poison, he included a recipe for beast taming, which was to be used to concoct a spiritual liquid to nourish the turtle eggs.

Enhance vitality.

The label also states that grinding the wood-elemental cultivation pills into powder and mixing them with spiritual liquid can have a synergistic effect, making the addition of one more than the sum of its parts.

Therefore, in addition to purchasing medicinal herbs to prepare the spiritual liquid, they also purchased the medicinal herbs needed for that wood-type pill formula.

Secondly, they placed orders everywhere, pre-ordering large quantities of demonic beast essence blood of the [Turbid Fiend Bloodline].

However, the feedback received was not optimistic. Many related shops explicitly advised against having too high hopes, and mentioned one point:
Only shops opened by Foundation Establishment families may have a relatively large quantity of this kind of essence blood; Qi Refining families can only receive some occasionally.

And kindly pointed out the way to [Linghu Beast Pavilion].

Lin Changheng scratched the back of his head, indicating that he had just come from there.

Upon hearing this, many shopkeepers shrugged, indicating their helplessness. In this situation, the only option was to go to a large shop run by a family of cultivators like the Beast Tamer Sun.

Lin Changheng was naturally aware of this, but the problem was that the Sun family's focus was not on this.

According to his gradual understanding through various classic texts,

Upon learning that the cultivation world of the Song Kingdom was adjacent to the wilderness and encompassed sixty-three mortal prefectures with billions of people, they discovered that the Song Kingdom was a cultivation world bordering the wilderness.

Its internal structure is a stable pyramid shape.

The strongest force is called the [Southern Palace], which is presided over by a Nascent Soul True Monarch, and controls the Song territory.

Below are three major sects and two major schools.

Each sect or faction has several Core Formation cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment cultivators in charge.

With considerable strength, he governs a region and serves as the acting governor of the [Southern Palace].

The "Upper Sect" mentioned by cultivators, the "Purple Extreme Sect," is one of the three major sects.

After that, there were the nine great immortal cultivation families.

There are fake cores present, and several Foundation Establishment cultivators as well.

Behind them were a group of Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining families, as well as atomized rogue cultivators.

Unlike the Song family, who specialize in making talismans, they set up shops in various promising markets.

The Beast Taming Sun family, on the other hand, consolidated their power and focused all their efforts on managing a celestial city and several large workshops.

……

"not necessarily."

Upon hearing Lin Changheng's words, one of the shopkeepers smiled mysteriously and revealed some information.
"The Immortal City is too dazzling, attracting a large number of people. It has long been disliked by the upper sects and suppressed. Now, the Beast Taming Sun family is struggling to cope and has been forced to adopt the Song family model."
