Immortal Palace Longevity

Liu Yu smiled and whispered to the little guy in his palm.

He touched its body and felt a slippery, icy and cool touch, which was also a little sticky.

Snakes are cold-blooded animals, so it's not surprising that it feels a little cold. As for the stickiness, it's because there is still a lot of liquid from the eggs of spirit beasts on its body.

"Hiss"

As if it understood Liu Yu's words, Xiaoqing spit out its snake tongue and made a hissing sound.

It also rubbed its head against the palm that was stretched out, conveying a happy and close mood.

"Hehe"

"Okay, go, Xiaoqing."

Liu Yu smiled lightly, stretched out his fingers and teased for a while, and said.

He bent down and told it to put it on the ground.

"Hiss"

After Xiaoqing landed, he nodded his head humanely, then twisted his body and swam towards the broken eggshell after he was born.

"Crack"

It first held a smaller eggshell in its mouth, chewed it twice, and then swallowed it into its stomach.

After eating a few small eggshells, Xiaoqing seemed to find it particularly delicious, so she ate it with relish.

It opened its mouth almost 180 degrees, swallowed a piece of eggshell that was only slightly smaller than its head, and then chewed it slowly to eat.

For a while, the sound of crackling was endless in the spirit beast room.

Unlike other snakes, the Yinming spirit snake has other teeth besides fangs, so it can chew food easily.

The eggshell of spirit beast eggs contains a lot of nutrients, even newborn beasts can easily digest it, so many monster beasts will eat the eggshell after they are born.

"Its spirituality seems to be much higher than that of ordinary monster beasts."

"And its appearance is so different from the traditional Yinming spirit snake, could it be a mutation?"

"Or is it a return to the ancestral bloodline?"

After washing his hands with clean water, Liu Yu folded his hands across his chest, and fell into thought while watching Xiaoqing eating.

Mutations can be classified into benign and malignant. Benign mutations can greatly enhance the strength of monsters, greatly enhancing their physical strength or innate spells, far exceeding their non-mutated counterparts.

Malignant mutations can make monsters' strength decline, such as the original sharp teeth and claws degenerating, the body shrinking and the physical strength weakening, and the original innate spells disappearing. It is not impossible.

"Mutations are more reflected in the monster body or spells."

"Just looking at Xiaoqing's spiritual appearance, it doesn't seem like a mutation, but more like... atavism?"

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Yu's eyes lit up.

The ancient cold chi is a monster that can rival the powerful ones in the refining period. If atavism really happens to Xiaoqing, the cold chi blood in the body will become more concentrated, and the growth limit will undoubtedly increase a lot.

In this way, the value of cultivation will be greatly improved.

Xiaoqing eats very quickly. After a while, all the eggshells of the spirit beast egg it was born from have entered its body.

But the amazing thing is that although the little guy is small now, his stomach has not expanded at all after eating so much, and it is still the same as before.

"Hiss"

After eating all the eggshells, Xiaoqing is still not satisfied. He looked at another spirit beast egg, twisted his head and looked at Liu Yu with a snake tongue, conveying the idea of ​​eating.

Through the connection of the master-servant contract, Liu Yu clearly knew its thoughts and nodded slightly to convey the affirmative idea.

Survival of the fittest.

Many monsters in the world have the habit of eating dead eggs, even those born by themselves.

And many newly born beasts, in addition to eating their own eggshells, will also eat their dead counterparts!

"Hiss"

Seeing this, Xiaoqing twisted his body happily and swam towards another spirit beast egg.

After approaching, he opened his snake mouth 180 degrees and bit the gray-black spirit beast egg with an extremely exaggerated amplitude.

"Puff" "Crack"

With one bite, half of the eggshell of the spirit beast egg was bitten off, and yellow mucus flowed out of it.

There was also a small snake with black skin and blue lines, slightly smaller than Xiaoqing.

Compared with Xiaoqing, it looked very authentic and very much like its mother.

But it didn't even open its eyes, it had lost its breath of life forever, and its spirit had dissipated, so it was impossible to hatch.

Xiaoqing took the little snake out, and then opened its mouth 180 degrees without hesitation, and slowly swallowed it from head to tail.

Its mouth bulged, and as time went by, the black little snake was slowly swallowed into its stomach.

This time it seemed more difficult to eat, until half a quarter of an hour later, Xiaoqing swallowed it all into its stomach.

At this time, its stomach had obviously bulged, like a balloon stuffed in it.

"Hiss"

Xiaoqing looked at the remaining eggshells and nutrient solution, and no longer had the desire to eat, and conveyed to Liu Yu that she wanted to rest.

As if eating something tonic, Xiaoqing's breath fluctuated after swallowing most of the essence of another spirit beast egg. The breath that had reached the peak of the first-level lower grade was faintly rising again.

"Not bad."

Liu Yu felt the fluctuation of Xiaoqing's breath and praised it, and then let it rest.

For the young monsters, swallowing the spirit beast eggs of the same kind is indeed a tonic, and it can even strengthen the essence a little, which has indescribable benefits for the future.

But there are signs of advancement just after birth, obviously can't all the credit be attributed to this, most of it may be Xiaoqing's own reasons.

Originally, I wanted to test its innate magic and various qualities, but now that Xiaoqing is going to advance through sleep, there is no rush.

Anyway, the future is still long.

With a water ball spell, Xiaoqing was cleaned and allowed to sleep on the nest. Liu Yu turned and left the spirit beast room.

After a moment of hesitation, Liu Yu sent a sound transmission note to Wu Chang, asking him to buy some fresh monster flesh and blood.

Although it can continue to eat the spirit-feeding pills to grow, this is undoubtedly not good for the future development of the spirit beast. It has a realm but no blood.

It is a better way to feed the spirit-feeding pills with blood food. It can not only quickly improve the grade, but also have enough blood, so that it can be of great use in the future.

This knowledge was learned recently in the beast control secret record.

After thinking about it, Liu Yu turned and came to the practice room.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, touching the green light spot, he entered the fairy house with a thought.

From the small wooden house on the left where the spirit grass and medicine seeds are stored, find all the spirit grass seeds for refining the spirit-feeding pills and plant them in the black spirit field.

After ten hours, all the mature spiritual herbs were dug out, and all ten spiritual herbs were taken out of the Immortal Mansion, while the seeds were planted in the spiritual field to ripen.

Then Liu Yu came to the training room, took out the Xuanhuang Ding, and started to refine the pill.

The grade of the Soul Feeding Pill was only the first-grade upper grade, but many of the spiritual herbs on the recipe required to be two hundred years old, comparable to some inferior second-grade pills.

So although it was still a first-grade pill, the difficulty of refining was no less than some second-grade pills.

But with Liu Yu's current alchemy attainments, all this was not a problem.

The ten spiritual herbs were finally successfully refined into five furnaces, with a success rate of 50%, and 42 Soul Feeding Pills were obtained.

I believe that as I get more familiar with this recipe, the success rate will increase, and it will not be a problem to reach 60% in the end.

…

Time is like flowing water, and eight days will never come back.

Eight days later, at the top of Cailian Mountain.

A man and a snake stood on a flat ground, facing a huge rock.

At this time, Xiaoqing has successfully advanced from the first-grade low-grade to the first-grade middle-grade, which is equivalent to the cultivation of a human cultivator in the middle stage of Qi Refining. The body size has also grown from the original seven inches to nine inches.

After Liu Yu issued the order, Xiaoqing immediately took action.

In its dark and agile vertical pupils, a blue light flashed, and an invisible wave was immediately transmitted.

Three-inch blue ice crystals quickly condensed, and in just a breath of time, they had condensed into shape and floated around Xiaoqing. A rough count estimated that there were about a dozen.

The front and back ends of this ice crystal were extremely sharp, emitting a trace of cold air, forming a "blue ice rain" that quickly fell towards the boulder in front of it.

"Bang Bang"

This boulder is just an ordinary stone, which was directly shattered by the blue ice crystal spell.

After the ice crystal penetrated the boulder, its power was not exhausted, and it fell into the woods behind it, destroying more than a dozen trees before stopping.

Whether it was the broken stones or the broken trees, they were all covered with a thin layer of ice crystals, emitting a chilling cold air under the scorching sun.

"This level of power is two points stronger than the first-level top-grade spell Fire Snake."

Liu Yu watched all this calmly and estimated the power of this innate spell.

Then he conveyed the intention to continue, wanting to see if Xiaoqing had any other spells.

For ordinary monsters, having an innate spell when they are just born can be called "gifted", but Xiaoqing seems to have a phenomenon of blood returning to its ancestors, and Liu Yu can't help but have higher expectations for it.

After receiving the master's order, Xiaoqing took action again without hesitation.

It opened its snake mouth with a bulge in its throat, and exhaled a mouthful of blue cold air. In less than a breath, it froze a tree seven or eight feet high.

This breath of blue cold air is very similar to its mother's, and should be the same innate spell, both with a certain extremely cold breath, and the power is far beyond the ice attribute spells cast by ordinary cultivators.

The frozen trees reflected the light in the sunlight, crystal clear and beautiful, looking like a lifelike ice sculpture.

Under the scorching sun at noon, there was no sign of melting for a while.

"Not bad, not bad."

Liu Yu gently stroked Xiaoqing's head to express his praise.

Both of these innate spells are extraordinary. Xiaoqing is only a first-level middle-grade spell now, and the power released by the first-level spell is no less than some first-level top-grade spells. The potential for growth is excellent.

Coupled with the powerful body of the monster, it is enough to fight against enemies one level higher.

Keeping this trend, in time, it will definitely become a good helper for me, and it is worth spending some energy to cultivate.

However, Xiaoqing has only been born for a few days, and his monster body is still very fragile and can't stand the tossing, so Liu Yu gave up the idea of ​​testing his monster body.

"Hiss"

Hearing the encouragement of the master, Xiaoqing was very happy. It twisted its body and wanted to climb onto the master's shoulder.

The little guy seemed to have a special liking for this position.

But Liu Yu frowned and ruthlessly interrupted Xiao Qing's actions. He had no habit of letting spirit beasts climb on him, and he would never accommodate spirit beasts.

Liu Yu had no strange idea of ​​treating it as a "partner".

To him, spirit beasts were just tools, no different from other tools, except that its bloodline was extraordinary and more valuable.

"Hiss"

The master's will could not be violated, Xiao Qing's actions stopped immediately, and he could only spit out his tongue and feel very aggrieved, and then rubbed his master's feet with his little head to express his closeness.

Seeing this, Liu Yu's brows relaxed, conveying a soothing thought, and then took Xiao Qing back to the cave.

Bring it into the spirit beast room, feed it a spirit-feeding pill, and then put a bloody corpse of a deer monster in the spirit beast room.

Let Xiaoqing eat by herself and play freely in the spirit beast room, and Liu Yu left the room.

The Blood Secret Realm is open for seven days, and it is generally officially over in eight days, including the time of going back and forth. Now it is eight days later, and whether his plan is successful or not, there will be a result today.

Lying on the Tai Shi chair, Liu Yu took out the Qingyang Gong and began to comprehend the late stage of the sixth level of foundation building, quietly waiting for news.

As for Ji Ruyan, she was ordered to stay in the room today.

Time passed slowly, and two hours later, Liu Yu received Wu Chang's sound transmission, and the team going to the Blood Secret Realm had returned to the sect.

As for the more specific situation, he has not figured it out because of the lack of level.

Whenever there is a big event, there is a calm spirit. Putting down the sound transmission, Liu Yu comprehended the skills while waiting.

Finally, after three hours, a beam of light fell on Cailian Mountain, revealing a man with a dusty face and a somewhat fierce appearance.

This man was one of the ten selected outer disciples.

Seeing the cave open, he walked straight in.

"Meet Uncle Liu!"

"Thanks to Uncle Liu, I have successfully returned from the Bloody Secret Realm."

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!"

After a lot of screening, although he was dusty and tired, his eyes were particularly bright.

"Nephew Shi, you are welcome, please sit down first."

Hearing the last sentence, Liu Yu smiled kindly.

There was no condescending attitude of a foundation-building cultivator facing a Qi-refining cultivator, and he even poured him a cup of spiritual tea.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

Shi Xianglong sat down after hearing this, not as restrained as other disciples.

"By the way, where is nephew Zhou who is traveling with you?"

"Is it already..."

Liu Yu asked with a "heavy" face.

"Uncle Master, when we started to return on the seventh day, Senior Brother Zhou and I unfortunately encountered those bitches from Piaoxue Pavilion."

"I was lucky enough to escape with my life, but Senior Brother Zhou was killed by those bitches from Piaoxue Pavilion!"

When Shi Xianglong mentioned this, his eyes suddenly turned red, as if he was angry, sad, and regretful.

"It's a pity for Junior Brother Zhou."

Liu Yu sighed and said, as if he believed this statement.

Anyway, no one knows what happened in the secret realm unless they saw it with their own eyes.

As long as there are a lot of spiritual herb seeds brought back, as for the cause of death of the disciple surnamed Zhou, he didn't want to go into it at all.

"Uncle Master Liu, these are the spiritual medicine and spiritual herb seeds that the disciple collected in the secret realm. Please take a look."

Shi Xianglong took out eight jade boxes, put them on the table, and said respectfully.

"Junior Brother Shi, you really didn't let Liu down."

Liu Yu praised him without hesitation, and took the jade boxes and opened them one by one.
