Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

Liu Xing observed the mountain cat with satisfaction, its brown fur. Through the soul mark, he could feel that the mountain cat was a little afraid, but more of it was anticipation and excitement. From now on, he could immediately eliminate all the mountain cat's mental activities and emotional fluctuations, and at the same time, he could instantly destroy that part of the spirit and kill it. Therefore, once a monster becomes a spiritual pet, its life and death are no longer in its own hands, and the price paid is not small. He remembered that when he established the soul mark with Jiao Jiao, the steps were the same, but Jiao Jiao showed much more closeness, probably because of the influence of its strange dream. The mountain cat is now more in awe of him and not close enough, and it will take some time to cultivate feelings between them.

"From now on, your name will be Duoduo. Remember your hometown, Mount Doramaya." Liu Xing gave the mountain cat a name.

"Thank you for the name, master. Duoduo is a nice name." The mountain cat was very satisfied with the name and was happy in his heart.

"Jiao Jiao, come and meet some new friends." Liu Xing released Jiao Jiao and introduced them to each other.

"Wow, what a big cat!" Jiao Jiao was so excited that she tried to touch the cat's head with her paw, but the mountain cat transformed into a phantom and easily dodged it. Jiao Jiao had to withdraw her paw awkwardly. The mountain cat's cultivation level was higher than Jiao Jiao's, but it showed no fear. In terms of speed, each had its own advantages and disadvantages. Jiao Jiao was strong in long-range flight, while Duo Duo was very skilled in short-range maneuvers. In terms of combat power, they were evenly matched. Duo Duo was a level higher and had greater magic power, but Jiao Jiao had bloodline suppression and more combat methods, so the outcome of a life-and-death duel was still uncertain.

Duoduo was a bit of a loner. After a brief acquaintance, he stopped looking at Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao looked thoughtful, smiling at Duoduo and not forcing any flirtations. Her emotional intelligence was clearly much higher than his. After Liu Xing introduced the two demons, he collected them separately and continued on his way.

Not long after, Liu Xing suddenly heard the sound of magical instruments clashing. It seemed as if two groups of cultivators were engaging in a battle. Finally encountering a human, he sensed that they were Qi Refining cultivators, posing no threat to him, so he decided to go over and take a look.

He quietly flew over and noticed that the monks all shared a common trait: their faces and hands were covered in various tattoos. They were divided into two teams, one of three and one of four, fighting with relentless clinking. The two groups were evenly matched, and for the time being, neither could defeat the other. Liu Xing watched for a while, then grew bored and decided to quietly retreat.

Suddenly, he felt a woman with a golden locket around her neck open her mouth and spit out a small, earthy-yellow insect. Its round belly was segmented like a silkworm. The golden silkworm seemed to possess a strong invisibility ability; if Liu Xing hadn't possessed a powerful spiritual sense, he wouldn't have been able to detect it. As expected, even the young man with the highest cultivation level didn't notice. When the golden silkworm got close, it easily pierced his protective aura and burrowed into his body.

"Bitch, how dare you put a poison on me!" The young man instantly felt that something was wrong, because after the poison entered his body, it followed his meridians and drilled into his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Ah!" As the young man finished speaking, he felt a piercing pain in his consciousness. Then, with a thud, he fell to the ground, pounding his fists against his head. He rolled over and over in pain. Everyone stopped fighting and watched the horrific scene before them. A moment later, the young man died.

Meanwhile, the woman with the golden lock seemed to have collapsed to the ground, exhausted and listless, as if she had been seriously ill and her vitality was obviously greatly damaged. It seems that using witchcraft to harm others also comes at a huge price: hurting the enemy a thousand times while hurting yourself eight hundred times. The young man's three companions saw that things were not going well and took off running. The woman's two companions did not dare to pursue him, and the fight ended with the young man's sacrifice.

Liu Xing watched silently from the side. Because he was performing the Turtle Breathing Technique, it was impossible for the younger Qi Refining Stage students to discover him. He was lost in thought. He had seen descriptions of the Golden Silkworm Gu in books before, and this time he finally saw the real thing. The Golden Silkworm Gu was indeed extraordinary. It had three major abilities: invisibility, ignoring spiritual energy shields, and the ability to devour the soul in the sea of ​​consciousness. It was truly amazing. The woman's cultivation was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining, while the young man was a master at the twelfth level of Qi Refining. He was caught off guard and was ambushed by the Gu. Liu Xing thought that the Golden Silkworm Gu was an excellent way to harm people, and he wanted to obtain this ability. Although the sequelae of the Gu were a bit troublesome, there should be a solution.

"Let's send our junior sister back quickly so that our master can see her." So one of them carried the girl on his back, and the other collected the young man's body, and they hurried back. Liu Xing followed silently behind.

An hour later, they arrived at a Miao village, densely packed with thousands of houses, housing tens of thousands of mortals. A high wall surrounded it, with patrols posted along the walls, presumably to protect against demonic beasts. Liu Xing's divine sense surveyed the entire village, revealing one cultivator in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, two in the early stages, and dozens of Qi Condensation disciples. Their strength posed no threat to Liu Xing. He also sensed the two young men leading the injured woman directly toward the old man in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and he followed them in unnoticed.

"Master, we encountered people from Qingzhai and had a battle with them. My junior sister used the golden silkworm Gu to kill one of them and is now injured. Master, please save her." A young man knelt on the ground and begged the master for help. It was obvious that his junior sister was very important to him.

The old man grasped the woman's hand, closed his eyes, examined it, then walked over to the young man's body and slapped his forehead. Liu Xing sensed a trace of strange spiritual energy entering the young man's sea of ​​consciousness, stimulating the golden silkworm Gu to leap out from within. The old man grabbed the golden silkworm Gu and injected it into the woman's dantian. After the golden silkworm Gu entered her body, the woman's complexion improved.

"The golden silkworm Gu has not been fully refined yet, and if you use it forcefully, you will die even half an hour later. You must be careful when using it in the future. Go back and meditate for a year, and you will recover." The old man said seriously.

"Thank you, Master." The three of them thanked in unison, then helped the woman say goodbye and leave.

After everyone had left, Liu Xing took the initiative to show himself. The old man was startled and immediately retreated, casting a defensive light shield. He thought to himself, this person appeared before me without anyone noticing. If he has evil intentions, my life is over.

"My apologies, fellow Daoist, for disturbing you. My last name is Mei, and I beg your pardon for the intrusion of your presence." Liu Xing bowed with a sincere gesture. He had come to learn the secret art of raising Gu, and he didn't want to resort to robbery or plunder unless absolutely necessary. He wanted to exchange this secret art for equal value.
