Cultivating Immortality: Start by burying corpses in a border town and become proficient!

In the depths of the snake nest, there is a first-level spiritual banyan tree.

It is dozens of feet tall, standing like a giant umbrella, casting shadows that cover all directions, and there are roots of air hanging down to the ground, piercing the corpses of fresh or rotten bodies.

There are monsters and humans.

By identifying the appearance, it can be judged that among the monster corpses here, there are many second-level monsters with large bodies and many remaining evil spirits.

There are also people dressed like bandits and savages, obviously the old patrol guards of the outpost camp, and their cultivation is generally in the middle stage of foundation building, because if they don’t reach this level, they can’t be evaluated as old.

However, whether it is a human or a monster, whether it is fresh or rotten, the spirit in the body has been emptied, leaving only an empty shell!

Looking around again, there are no spiritual objects within a certain distance from the big banyan tree, and even the spiritual energy seems very weak, obviously absorbed by it.

It was by following this abnormal spiritual flow that Du En found it all the way here.

However...

"This tree is only of the first order? It shouldn't be. With this absorption force, even the remains of these people were sucked dry, and even the magic tools and other things turned into scrap metal. It should be at least of the second-order middle quality."

After looking around, Du En couldn't help but think so.

As evidence, at this time, his spirit-hunting skills have accumulated once. Obviously, there are indeed second-order spirit objects here.

Continue to explore.

Soon, he found that this big banyan tree was obviously strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and it was also like an empty shell.

Finally, he flew up again, passed through the dense branches, came to the top of the tree canopy, and found a few small yellow flowers that could avoid the divine sense in the sunshine.

Only when you get closer can you see clearly that it is not the banyan tree that is blooming, but a few snake-like vines that are coiled and rooted in this spiritual tree, absorbing its essence and sap, and then blooming their own flowers.

That is why the banyan tree, which was supposed to be a second-level spiritual wood, has declined to the first level due to the loss. Only a little foundation is left, and it is basically useless. It has tried its best to ask for supplements from all around, but it can't save its fate.

"In this case, it's better to call it snake banyan flower. It has no stimulation, is yellow, sweet, warm in nature, and has a lot of spiritual energy. It is a second-level medium-grade. After a period of time, it may be a second-level top-grade."

But how long this period of time will be, and whether the banyan tree, which has been drawn down and wasted, can continue to support its growth consumption, these are hard to say.

So Du En decided to pick them all.

Of course, before picking them, there is another important thing to do.

Brush the number of times!

For the skill of searching for spirits, as long as he can find a suitable place, he can quickly brush this stage.

Back and forth, repeating continuously, if someone sees it, it will definitely feel quite weird and can't understand why this person comes in and out here.

Once, twice... one hundred and ninety-six times.

A breakthrough came naturally.

[Hundred Arts: Spirit Seeking (Easy to Use 0/50)]

The accumulation of experience has made him gradually more proficient in this skill. At this moment, he is like an experienced person who has lived in various wild places for 70 or 80 years, and can easily identify the traces of valuable spiritual objects in the primitive and complex environment.

"Spirit Seeking is easy, but it is not easy to identify."

After a picking and identification, the object picked this time can no longer be reused.

This is because when it was picked, it had already cut off all its original connections with the surrounding environment.

If it is returned to the original place and waited for a while for it to reconnect, it may be possible to increase the number of times, but Du En has no spare time to waste on such things now.

If you can pick one plant and cook one plant, it is one plant. The spiritual food gap in cultivation is imminent.

"Fortunately, after I became familiar with the spirit-hunting, it is no longer as difficult to find spirits here as before."

Looking around, Du En has keenly noticed several other subtle traces. As long as he follows them, he will probably get something.

And after a brief analysis, he found that except for one place, there seemed to be monsters nesting in the other places?

Obviously, at this stage of the spirit-hunting, even the impact of monsters on the environment can be barely discerned. It is estimated that as long as it is advanced to the next stage, they can be found as living spirits.

However, that is a matter for the future. Du En did not think much about it and focused on the present.

It's time to go back and cook.

Carrying the snake meat and spirit flowers, Yu Qi walked back and quickly arrived at a selected outer place.

The terrain here is high and open, without miasma, and it looks like the environment is pretty good.

When he came here to take out the pot, while preheating it, Du En was processing the snake meat.

There was no need to leave any materials for those first-level demon snakes, because first-level magic weapons were basically useless to him, and dozens of self-explosions could not kill an unprepared early foundation-building person.

For the second-level demon snake, the skin was peeled off, the bones were left, there were two fangs, and a slightly damaged venom sac, all of which could be kept as materials for refining weapons.

In addition, there were at least tens of thousands of pounds of snake meat that could be used as food.

Just this one snake could feed Du En for more than ten or twenty days, and with the other first-level demon snakes, it could feed him for at least a month and a half.

"It's relatively simple to catch demon beasts and eat their meat. When you hunt for spirits, you can catch and kill them, and there will often be a lot of meat, but in terms of auxiliary materials, spiritual medicine, it seems to be lacking."

After processing a large pile of snake meat, he looked at the auxiliary materials. There were only a few original stocks left, three second-level spiritual medicines obtained from Huang Xiaosheng, and four snake banyan flowers just collected today.

Use it ten times at most. If he maintains the quality of his spiritual food in the past ten days, he can increase the number of times he exercises his power by three times, reaching the number of thirty-three times.

Then he will use it all up!

"The logistics department can't buy relatively cheap goods now. Even if it can, it's not suitable to go there too many times. In the end, although there are still some spiritual stones saved, they can't be used..."

Thinking here, Du En, who was about to add snake meat to cook, suddenly had an idea.

The so-called quantity is not enough, quality makes up for it.

Not quite right, anyway, using the pure spiritual energy contained in the spiritual stone as a secondary auxiliary material to fill the gap, you can reduce the amount of the main auxiliary material.

Anyway, these spiritual stones are useless now, and the more you can reduce, the better, so Du En immediately started to try.

It turns out that cooking with spirit stones is a very challenging task.

However, at this moment, his cooking skills and proficiency are at a stage of minor success.

In other words, as long as he can be given enough materials and meet the basic prerequisites, he can successfully cook even a third-level spirit meal!

Now facing only low-grade spirit stones, after five consecutive failures, he still naturally overcomes this problem and makes a pot of suitable Banyan Flower Snake Soup.
