Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 15 Return
Wu Tian practiced the Soul-Connecting Mantra once in the morning and once in the evening. During the day, he continued hunting with the hunting team, and at night he rested in the embrace of the Red Wood.

Although his cultivation efficiency is far inferior to that of Chi Limu, he has not slacked off in the slightest. He was originally just a white dog with only the talent of devouring poison, but now he has four talents.

As time goes by, with the help of the system panel, his talents will inevitably increase and become more and more wondrous.

One day we will be able to catch up with those gifted prodigies and spirits.

Before she knew it, more than a month had passed. Chi Limu's cultivation progress was incredibly fast. She was now able to cultivate continuously for an hour. Each time she cultivated, crimson clouds surrounded her body, and flames blazed, creating astonishing phenomena.

However, Wu Tian's progress in cultivating the Tongyou Mantra was very slow. It took him more than a month to reach 8%. It is foreseeable that the progress of cultivating the Tongyou Mantra will become slower and slower as time goes on.

"I'm afraid it will take me at least a year or even two years to barely complete the practice of the Tongyou Mantra and awaken my new talent."

He sighed inwardly, increasingly aware of the vast difference in talent, because Chi Limu's cultivation progress had been astonishingly fast since he first entered the sect.

He could roughly sense that Chi Limu's progress was at least fifty percent.

In another month, she will probably be able to master this spell and cultivate the power to communicate with the spirits.

Wu Tian glanced at Chi Limu, who was still cultivating beside him, and slowly stopped his movements. After more than a month of training, he could only extend his cultivation time by a dozen or so breaths each time.

"Fortunately, my progress in other areas has not stalled. In fact, thanks to the Netherworld Spell, my progress in Qi Absorption has accelerated considerably."

On a whim, he opened the system panel.

Name: Wu Tian

Age: 3
Bloodline: Southern Xinjiang White Dog
Talents: Immunity to All Poisons 3% (Intermediate), Swift Travel 5% (Intermediate), Wind Spirit 72% (Beginner), Qi Absorption 96% (Beginner)
Skills: Hunting 100%, Listening to the Wind 100%, Nine Forms of Serpent Slaying 100%, Ghostly Spell 8%
To improve one's Wind Spirit talent, one needs to roam the jungle, using the wind to sense the omnipresent information and detect danger in advance.

This is one of the reasons why Wu Tian insists on going into the jungle to hunt with the hunting team every day. It's not just to help the village get food; the wild jungle, where danger lurks everywhere, is very beneficial to his growth.

"After my talent reached the intermediate level, the progress became slower and slower, especially with the immunity to all poisons. Ordinary poisons were completely useless to me. Only the venom of the Jade Centipede could allow my talent to continue to grow."

"Fortunately, the talent of 'Swift Travel' can be improved simply by running. I expend my energy every day, wandering through the mountains and forests, and I have finally made some progress."

Wu Tian sorted out his many talents, "The further you cultivate the Wind Spirit, the more difficult it becomes. I'm afraid it will take several more months to perfect these last few steps."

However, he vaguely sensed that after the Wind Spirit is perfected, it is very likely that he will have the legendary talent of avoiding misfortune and attracting good fortune, so it would be worth it even if it took a long time and effort.

"The Qi-absorbing talent originally improved very slowly, but cultivating it together with the Tongyou Mantra accelerated the improvement of the Qi-absorbing talent."

"In a few more days, this talent should be able to advance."

Wu Tian looked at the Chi Li Mu cultivating beside him. Although he had exited the Qi Absorption state and could not perceive the strange phenomena when the little girl was cultivating, his keen senses and the Wind Spirit allowed him to detect the intense aura emanating from her.

"I wonder how much better it will be than Crimson Wood after advancing to the Qi Absorption stage?"

He didn't believe that advancing in Qi Consumption would allow him to directly rival Chi Limu's talent. The progress Chi Limu had made was truly terrifying; it was a quality that no ordinary person could possess.

"I wonder if all people with immortal roots are this terrifying, or if Chi Limu's talent is exceptionally outstanding?"

Chi Limu sat cross-legged, a faint, luminous glow emanating from her delicate, fair face. She chanted the Netherworld Communication Incantation. As her cultivation deepened, the booming sound it emitted grew fainter. Upon reaching perfection, the sound would completely disappear, becoming like the murmur of ghosts and spirits, inaudible to mortals, enabling communication between the yin and yang realms and dialogue with spirits and deities.

Wu Tian shook off his fur, not wanting to disturb the little girl's cultivation, and slowly walked towards the door.

However, when he stepped out of the bamboo house, he saw a black wind sweeping across the sky at an extremely terrifying speed.

"Manxiongmu is back."

His movements paused involuntarily. "When Man Xiongmu comes back this time, he will probably take Chi Limu up the mountain."

A variety of thoughts flashed through Wu Tian's mind. He wanted to go up the mountain with Chi Limu. The resources that the village could provide for him were becoming fewer and fewer. Only by going to Skull Mountain could he obtain more opportunities.

"Given Chi Li Mu's feelings and dependence on me, she must want to take me up the mountain with her, but will Man Xiong Mu agree?"

He was also a little unsure. He had thought about this matter during this time, but whether or not he could go up the mountain did not depend on him or Chi Limu. Only Man Xiongmu's approval was possible.

"I hope we can successfully make it up the mountain..."

Wu Tian was also slightly uneasy. Although he could continue to improve by staying in the village, since the Tongyou Mantra would take another year or two to be perfected, once Chi Limu went up the mountain, his hope of going up the mountain again in the future would become extremely slim.

Even though Chi Limu and he have a good relationship now, people always grow up. After she has been cultivating on the mountain for decades, who can say what will happen in the future?
Wu Tian didn't want to give up this opportunity that had the best chance of success.

He quickly ran towards the center of the village. With his talent for traveling thousands of miles, he was extremely fast, like a white light flashing by, and soon arrived in front of the bronze cauldron.

The hunting party members had all arrived and were waiting for him.

Wu Tian now holds a special position in the hunting team because his presence has reduced many dangers in the mountains and forests, and the team is able to hunt more and more prey.

Even the King of Dogs, Silver Frost, is far inferior to him!
"Haha, Bai Long'er has arrived, we should set off now," Gu Xiongmu said with a hearty laugh.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Wu Tian yelled at Yin Shuang a few times, then shouted wildly at the sky.

Gu Xiongmu looked up and saw a black wind descending from the sky, landing right in the village, where the clan chief's bamboo house should be.

He glanced at the somewhat restless Wu Tian and roughly understood what Bai Long'er meant. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You little rascal, you want to go see the envoy, don't you? You're quite clever."

After a moment's thought, he said, "The envoy from the Savage Bear clan is probably returning to take away the Crimson Wood. You two will likely have a hard time meeting again in the future."

"You don't need to come hunting with us today. Go back and see Chi Limu off!"

Gu Xiongmu knew that Bai Long'er was a spiritual being and could understand him, so after giving his instructions, he immediately called the rest of the hunting team to set off.

Wu Tian called out to the silver frost twice to warn them to be careful, and then quickly ran towards the bamboo house where the red-wood tree was located.

"I must seize this opportunity to climb Skull Mountain!"
