In the evening, on the wasteland road, a mass of mist that seemed to be illusory but not illusory could be seen flying.
As the surrounding environment changes, the color also changes constantly. Sometimes it is green, sometimes it is gray and yellow. If you are far away, you can hardly notice its existence.
And if you look closer, you can see a male lion more than two feet tall, running very fast.
Not only is the mist surrounding his body, but his figure also appears to be invisible under the setting sun.
And Zong Shou was sitting on the broad lion's back, his eyes seemed to be closed, lying comfortably and quietly, bathing in the last sunshine.
In addition, there are two ropes dragging behind the giant lion.
At the end of the rope, one was Chuxue, with a red face, being tied behind and running. The other was Xiaojin, who was also jumping around, but most of the time, he was dragged flying in the air. Although his figure was
It was chubby, but at this moment it also had a very pitiful and uncomfortable 'expression'.
Chu Xue's eyes sparkled with stars, and she looked at Zong Shou pitifully, barely pleading.
Seeing the young man lying on the lion's back, he seemed to have fallen asleep. His eyes suddenly turned slightly, and he quietly jumped up and stepped on the tail of the shadow lion.
However, before he could stand still, he was hit by a ray of white light. It was a stone that hit the instep of Chuxue. His body immediately went numb and he fell onto the back of a lion again. He almost fell down and continued to walk unsteadily.
After running for a few steps, he regained his balance and said with a mournful face: "Young Master, Xue'er has been running for a long time! She traveled more than three hundred miles without stopping for a moment! She didn't even take a break yesterday."
Zong Shou sighed slightly, straightened up and stretched as if he was waking up from a big dream.
The fatigue from the previous night has finally faded a lot.
Previously, he felt that this lion was not suitable to be his escort, but now he felt that it seemed quite good to have such a spirited beast to take his place.
As far as he knew, most of the spiritual masters who escorted them chose soul beasts and spirits. Firstly, they were easy to control, and secondly, they were easy to cultivate. They only needed enough yin power, soul stones, and enough materials to be able to grow extremely quickly.
Improve your rank.
However, there are very few escorts such as living spirit beasts.
Spirit beasts have bodies of flesh and blood, and are often inconvenient to carry. Their own energy and blood are strong, and they are resistant to soul-controlling formations, and can easily backfire. Due to the connection between the mind and the mind, the soul power consumed by the spiritual master is several times that of the soul beast, and it cannot be sealed.
.
The improvement of rank combat power is also the most difficult.
Even if the spiritual master occasionally chooses a living spirit animal as a guardian, he will also choose an animal with low spiritual intelligence or a young animal to cultivate.
Xiao Jin belongs to the former. In fact, this little guy is not weak in intelligence, but in the eyes of the world, the slimy beast is not born with any IQ.
And if it is a young beast, unless it is a high-level spirit beast at birth, it is not a good choice. From the first level to the ninth level, it takes thousands of years and countless elixirs, and it is simply impossible to do it.
Like Ling Yun Long Ruo, the black dragon he controlled that day was really unusual. It is said that it only took twenty years to go from the initial black snake to the moment when he was close to transforming into a dragon.
At this moment, the shadow lion under him is not very good at heel and legs, but his understanding is very good.
That day, he wielded the sword with his soul and used the Shadow Sword Intent only once. The lion had already realized something, mutated his bloodline, and advanced to the fourth level.
Not only does the shadow lion run fast, it is also good at sneaking. Its combat power during the day is enough to fight against peak monsters of the same level. And at night, it is the king among beasts.
It's just that this kind of spirit beast is better at hiding, hiding, wandering and running, and killing with one strike. It is an assassin in the night, used to protect you, but it is not as good as Xiao Jin now.
However, it is barely suitable for use as a mount. Although it cannot fly, sleeping on the back of this lion is more comfortable than a carriage.
As if sensing Zong Shou's thoughts, the shadow lion couldn't help but let out a mournful cry, as if mourning its fate of becoming a mount.
Zong Shou didn't care at all. He was about to meditate, but after all, he was still stared at by the sight from behind that could pierce through him, which made him unbearable.
He said helplessly: "Stop staring, I am doing this for your own good. That Renji Pill is extremely effective, and it is the top foundation-building elixir at the body chakra level. Xue'er, you are also a good opportunity to have this elixir."
With your help, and my personal training, you can enter the innate realm within about three months! However, the power of this elixir is the most difficult to dissipate. The longer you run, the better it will be for you. Xiao Jin's situation is similar to yours.
There is a saying that goes like this: the sharp edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold; without experiencing wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow——"
Chuxue's expression was indignant, but she was still a little dissatisfied. No matter how powerful the Renji Pill was, could it be stronger than all the essence of the Thunder Luan Egg?
Then he saw Zong Shou, who turned his head and looked back with a half-smile: "Of course, if you are Xue'er, you are willing to learn three sets of guidance techniques from me, young master, and memorize them all. You don't have to run away so hard -"
Chuxue's face suddenly became squeezed into a ball, similar to that of a bitter gourd. She would rather walk than the drowsy, soft guidance technique.
Zong Shou smiled and dived his mind into the sea of souls. After swallowing the Lei Luan essence that day, he began to carefully check his soul for the first time.
"Sure enough, it's because of Lei Luan's spiritual origin——"
I saw that the original "雳" symbol was already hanging in the center of the whirlpool. It suddenly transformed into a Luan bird that seemed to be spreading its wings and about to fly.
What is even more surprising is that under the Luan bird, a seven-tailed fox appears, and there are faint signs of fusion between the two.
He didn't dare to get close with his thoughts, but whenever he wanted to gather the surrounding electric energy, the Luan Bird would faintly glow.
"Seven-tailed spirit fox and Yunhuang Lei Luan, fantasy and thunder merge into one?"
Zong Shou smiled bitterly, there was nothing in common between these two powers.
Observing the entire soul sea, it is now dozens of times larger than a few days ago, and has begun to take shape. The vortex is also even larger.
Hidden dangers that had not appeared before finally showed their traces at this moment.
I saw that my soul, for some unknown reason, was riddled with holes. There was only a layer of membrane protecting it.
And his current situation is like a sewn balloon. The soul power can expand, but once it reaches a certain level, it will leak everywhere.
In addition, he also has his own bloodline. In the core of the soul sea, in addition to the seven-tailed sky fox, there is also an inexplicable bloodline mark.
At this moment, even if the former has the potential to integrate the Lei Luan mark, he can still not fall behind.
"This human bloodline, it turns out there is a difference between the outside and the inside -"
Zong Shouyin realized that this was probably one of the reasons why Ling Yun Longruo gave up on him. His soul was actually born with the danger of collapse.
In a situation like his, it would be okay if he didn't cultivate his soul power. Once he practices it, even if his soul power cultivation stagnates from then on, it won't take long for him to die.
but--
"By mistake, a heaven-swallowing magic method and a Thunder Luan egg have completely eliminated my hidden danger. Should I say this is luck, or does God want me to take the path of a spiritual master first?"
