Mythical Cultivation

"Sure enough, it's not that easy to subdue a monster beast."

Wu Ming thought to himself, "But it doesn't matter. There's still plenty of time. Just take it slow. There will always be opportunities."

Although he was a little disappointed, Wu Ming was not discouraged. After all, there was still a long way to go!

"Here you go. Think about what I just said."

As Wu Ming spoke, he gently threw the Qi Dan in his hand towards Shadow Mouse.

Seeing this, Shadow Rat was a little surprised by Wu Ming's behavior and didn't understand why he was still willing to give the pill to him under such circumstances.

But it quickly stretched out its little claws without hesitation and caught the pill steadily.

Then, Shadow Mouse carefully put the Aikido pill into his mouth as if it were a rare treasure, then closed his eyes and enjoyed the medicinal effects of the Aikido pill to his heart's content.

You know, the medicinal power of this Heqi Pill is not comparable to that of ordinary Qi-enhancing Pills.

Previously, Shadow Mouse only needed less than a cup of tea to digest two Qi-boosting pills.

However, at this moment, a whole cup of tea had passed, but the shadow mouse still had its eyes closed. It was obvious that it had not completely digested the medicinal power of the Qi-He Dan.

Time passes by minute by minute, and the time of a stick of incense is gone in a flash.

At this moment, the vital energy of heaven and earth around Shadow Mouse suddenly seemed to be stirred and began to fluctuate violently.

The originally calm air began to ripple, as if an invisible force was stirring the world.

Immediately afterwards, an astonishing scene took place—the vital energy of heaven and earth within a few feet around the Shadow Mouse seemed to have received some kind of call, and rushed towards the Shadow Mouse's body like rivers flowing into the sea.

The speed at which this vital energy of heaven and earth gathered was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it formed a rich torrent of vital energy, which continuously poured into the shadow mouse's body.

As the vital energy of heaven and earth continued to flow in, Shadow Mouse's body began to undergo obvious changes.

Its originally small body expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if a balloon was being blown up.

In just a few breaths, the shadow mouse's body had grown a lot bigger. It was originally three feet long, but now it was a full foot longer, and it looked quite majestic.

Finally, under the nourishment of the vital energy of heaven and earth, Shadow Mouse slowly opened its pair of black little eyes.

A hint of joy flashed in its eyes, and it was obviously very satisfied with the improvement of its own strength.

Then, the shadow mouse jumped around Wu Ming happily, making a series of joyful calls from its mouth, as if expressing its excitement and gratitude to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

He originally gave Shadow Mouse a Qi-combining pill with the intention of giving it a try, but he didn't expect the pill to have such an amazing effect that it actually raised Shadow Mouse's realm to a higher level.

However, Wu Ming changed his mind and felt that things might not be that simple.

After all, the medicinal effect of a single Qi-combining pill shouldn't be so exaggerated.

He guessed that it was probably because Shadow Mouse itself was already very close to the edge of advancement.

The medicinal power contained in this Qi-combining pill just served as the finishing touch, pushing Shadow Mouse smoothly over that threshold and allowing it to complete its advancement ahead of schedule.

After excitedly circling around Wu Ming several times, Shadow Mouse finally stopped.

It stood quietly in front of Wu Ming, its pair of small black eyes staring straight at Wu Ming, as if trying to interpret some information from his eyes.

Wu Ming noticed that besides joy, there seemed to be a hint of doubt in Shadow Mouse's eyes.

Wu Ming knew that Yingshu must be wondering at this moment why the person in front of him would give him such a precious elixir?

After all, for an ordinary monster, it is basically impossible to obtain elixirs like Heqi Dan.

Besides, I had never promised to follow him, so why should he do this?

Although Wu Ming was somewhat puzzled by Shadow Rat's doubts, with his keen intuition, he was able to roughly guess what Shadow Rat was thinking.

So, he smiled and said softly, “Although you didn’t explicitly say you wanted to follow me, I feel like a special friendship has been established between us.

After all, you also brought me precious spiritual fruits, which were of great help to my injuries. You can be said to have helped me.

Therefore, this pill is my small reward for the spiritual fruit you gave me!"

Wu Ming's words were like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing through Yingshu's heart.

The doubt in Shadow Mouse's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by an indescribable joy.

It seemed to understand Wu Ming's kindness and sincerity, and this feeling of being recognized and appreciated made it feel extremely happy.

The man and the mouse lived together quietly, enjoying the tacit understanding and harmony between each other.

Time passed by unknowingly, and Shadow Mouse finally had to part with Wu Ming.

It rubbed Wu Ming's hand gently, then turned and left, turning into a black shadow and quickly blending into the night.

Wu Ming stood where he was, watching the shadow mouse go farther and farther away until it completely disappeared into the darkness.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Hmm, this is a really good development! My relationship with Shadow Mouse is getting closer and closer. If this trend continues, maybe one day I can successfully subdue it!"

Thinking of this, Wu Ming showed an expectant smile on his face.

After Shadow Rat left, Wu Ming took a deep breath, adjusted his condition, and continued to focus on healing.

He closed his eyes tightly and used the true energy in his body to slowly repair his damaged meridians and muscles.

He needed to control every flow of his true energy with full concentration, as any carelessness could worsen his injuries.

As time passed, Wu Ming remained highly focused and did not dare to relax at all.

Although lying on the ground did not have much impact on him, he still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he could not control his body freely, and this feeling made him a little irritated.

Finally, the sun slowly rose, illuminating the silent forest.

The night passed quietly, and Wu Ming's vigilance gradually dropped as time went by.

Although he did not rest last night, he was extremely energetic, as if he had endless energy.

Wu Ming opened his eyes and looked into the distance, hoping to meet a passerby with whom he had a destiny.

He waited quietly, praying secretly for good luck to come.

Unfortunately, after a whole morning, Wu Ming still didn't wait for his destined person.

It was not until noon when the sun was high overhead that Wu Ming, who had been immersed in healing, suddenly heard a somewhat discordant sound.

The sound was very faint, almost inaudible, but it seemed particularly abrupt in the quiet forest.
