In the contest with Lu Ming, Shen Mo had no regrets about losing.
He is indeed very strong.
Even if he takes out the Soul Refining Flag, he may not be able to win for sure.
"It is extremely difficult to get the second place among rookies."
Guo Zhaodao: "Lu Ming possesses a thunder spirit body and has a strong foundation. He is a veritable genius. It is not unfair for you to lose to him."
Even though Shen Mo's three Dantians were open at the same time, it was extremely rare to have a solid foundation.
But facing a genius with incredible qualifications, he still feels a little eclipsed.
"Thunder spirit body?"
After hearing this, Shen Mo realized that Lu Ming was a natural spirit.
"No wonder the combat power is so exaggerated."
............
After returning to his cave from Xingchen Peak, Shen Mo started taking the Foundation Establishment Pill.
"Gulu."
After swallowing this second-grade foundation-building elixir, Shen Mo circulated the "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra" and continued to digest the power of the elixir.
[You swallow the second-grade elixir Foundation Establishment Pill. The potency of the Foundation Establishment Pill slowly spreads out and continues to stir in your body. You start to run the "Purple Mansion Heart Sutra" to absorb the potency. After you continue to absorb it, the potency of the potion gradually transforms into spiritual energy.
The power belongs to the sea of qi in Dantian.]
[As you continue to digest the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the spiritual energy in your body becomes more abundant, and your cultivation level has improved.]
.........
It lasted for about three hours, and after absorbing all the power of the Foundation Establishment Pill, Shen Mo opened his eyes: "The power of this Foundation Establishment Pill is much stronger than the Qi Gathering Pill... but it still failed.
Give me a breakthrough."
He had just advanced to the Qi Gathering Realm not long ago. Although he had the help of spiritual elixirs, the accumulation was far from enough.
This foundation-building pill only made his foundation stronger and his body a lot fuller of spiritual energy.
There is still time to break through to the second level.
"In addition to the Foundation Establishment Pill...there is also the Earth Yuan Pill!"
He thought and took out another jade bottle from his arms.
This Diyuan Pill was the entrance gift promised to him by the Star Peak Master. It has the effect of condensing the essence of Qi and blood.
According to Zhou Shili, it can assist him in practicing his physical exercises.
"Try the effect!"
He picked up one and swallowed it.
Suddenly, the burning sensation quickly spread.
The medicinal power of the Diyuan Pill spread out, and the pure medicinal power soon caused a huge increase in the internal organs, flesh and fascia in his body.
""Blood Evil Dragon Elephant Body", swallow it for me!"
When Shen Mo felt the qi and blood in his body constantly surging, he decisively began to condense the dragon-elephant body.
"Crash!"
The essence of endless energy and blood turned into long bloody threads, intertwining within his body.
In the end, Shen Mo's body began to undergo some transformation.
"The effect is good."
After another half an hour, Shen Mo exhausted the power of the medicine and tried to feel the changes in his body.
The strength has increased by at least about 15%.
The "Blood Evil Dragon Elephant Body", which I had never had the opportunity to practice, has also seen some improvement in its growth rate.
But this kind of progress is not too big.
Shen Mo made a rough estimate and concluded that he had absorbed all the remaining four Diyuan Pills.
The power of qi and blood it generates is not enough for the "Blood Evil Dragon Elephant Body" to advance to the next stage.
"It seems that it is unrealistic to upgrade your body from an elephant body to a dragon body in a short period of time."
Shen Mo murmured: "To improve combat power, we need to start from other directions."
Originally, Shen Mo was quite satisfied with the speed of his cultivation, and even became a little relaxed.
But after competing with Lu Ming, he began to realize that although his strength improved rapidly, there was still a gap between him and the real genius.
As for Linjiang Sect, as one of the five great sects of Chiyan Kingdom, there is no shortage of talented people.
Therefore, the sense of urgency to improve combat effectiveness has increased a lot.
"After a month, when you enter the mountains and rivers realm to practice, you should inevitably have to fight."
Guo Zhao had previously told him about the rules of the mountain and river realm.
Although the disciples who enter can collect the elixirs at will and treasure them, at the same time, robbing is not prohibited.
Therefore, all previous inner sect disciples who entered the mountain and river realm trials would experience fighting and confrontation.
Only the strong can protect their own interests.
Otherwise, even if you rely on luck to collect many elixir secrets in the mountains and rivers, they will still be robbed.
Within this month, Shen Mo must improve his strength as much as possible.
In order to get the maximum benefit from the mountains and rivers.
"Speaking of the mountain and river realm, we must first solve the problem of communication with the Lingzang Rat.
This guy's ability to ignore restrictions and hunt for treasures will be my core competitiveness when I enter the mountain and river realm to hunt for treasures."
After thinking about this, Shen Mo looked outside the cave.
Next to the Teng tree in the Lingtian on the cliff, the Lingzang rat is curled up, resting under the tree, sleeping soundly.
Obviously he didn't know that Shen Mo was already preparing to let him do hard work.
"Go to the Deacon's Hall and bring you the method of concluding a contract with spiritual pets."
I should have done this a long time ago, but because I haven't had much use of this little guy before, I have been putting it off.
Now, it's time.
With a thought in his mind, he left the cave.
..........
An hour later, Shen Mo came back from the Deacon Hall with a scroll in his hand.
"With this thing, we can start to conclude the contract."
Shen Mo walked to the Lingzang Rat and woke it up.
"嘤!嘤!"
The Lingzang Rat had sleepy eyes and seemed a little dissatisfied with being disturbed.
"Today you and I have signed a contract."
Shen Mo spread out the contract scroll, then bit the tip of his tongue, squeezed out a drop of blood and sprinkled it on the contract scroll.
"It's your turn."
Shen Mo smeared the essence and blood on the contract and placed the scroll in front of Lingzang Shu.
According to the rules of the contract, both the owner and the spiritual pet need to drip blood essence together in order for the concluded spiritual pet contract to take effect.
"Bah! Bah!"
The Lingzang Shu studied it for a long time and seemed to figure out what it wanted to do.
Under Shen Mo's gaze, it bit off its little hand and pressed its fingerprint on the contract scroll.
"Buzz!"
When the handprint of the Spirit Hidden Rat fell, the contract scroll slowly rose with a golden light.
At the same time, an extremely wonderful feeling arose in the hearts of Shen Mo and Ling Zang Shu.
It was as if at this moment, one person and one mouse were completely bound together.
"Master...Master?"
The first thing that entered Shen Mo's ears was a slightly crisp young man's voice.
After Shen Mo heard the voice, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Little guy, I can finally communicate!"
"I'm hungry..."
He was just trying to take advantage of this important moment of signing the contract to say a few words.
For example, for the rest of our lives, you and I will be together forever, and we will depend on each other for life and death to heighten the atmosphere.
After all, signing a spiritual pet contract is an important moment.
But his mood was interrupted by the sentence "I'm hungry."
"Sure enough...a foodie."
The original atmosphere completely dissipated, and Shen Mo was not interested in talking nonsense anymore, so he directly made a meal of meat for it.
The material used is the meat of two-horned red beef.
The meat of this kind of monster is the best among first-level monsters, and is much more valuable and delicious than the original.
Shen Mo usually feeds the Lingzang Rat red-browed venison, and its value is naturally far less than that of the double-horned red ox.
He was thinking that he would have to rely on this little guy to help when he arrived at the Mountain and River Realm soon, so he bought a hundred kilograms back from Fangshi.
I plan to give it some good food this month as a way of expressing myself in advance.
"Hangchi, bangchi!"
When the meat was served, the Lingzang Rat was overjoyed and began to feast on it.
