Seeking Immortality

As mentioned before, to hatch a monster egg, you need to implant part of the consciousness of the owner of the monster egg into the egg first, so that it can be easily controlled after the monster egg hatches.

So after Xu Qingfan made up his mind to hatch the "Dark Crow" first, he sat down cross-legged, holding the "Dark Crow" egg in the palm of his hand, and then his mind began to fall into an ethereal state.

The monster "Dark Crow" is one of the most mysterious monsters in the entire world of immortality, so Xu Qingfan had to be cautious before hatching it.

When everything was ready, Xu Qingfan didn't hesitate anymore and carefully separated a small stream of consciousness and directed it into the egg of "Dark Crow".

The matter was completed very smoothly. After all, although the "Dark Crow" is considered a low-level earth-level monster, it has not yet hatched, has no strength at all, and is extremely weak mentally. Therefore, Xu Qingfan almost effortlessly transferred his consciousness to Fusion into the extremely weak consciousness in the egg of "Dark Crow".

At the moment when the spirits merged, Xu Qingfan's body shook slightly, because he suddenly felt as if he suddenly had two bodies at this time. One body was the one he had had for more than eighty years. Familiar and substantial, the other body seemed like chaos and felt incredibly weak. But it was the "Dark Crow" egg. Because the "Dark Crow" had not yet hatched and its body had not yet formed, Xu Qingfan felt in chaos.

And compared with Xu Qingfan's own body, Xu Qingfan found that he seemed to be unable to freely control the body of "Dark Crow", just as if he was a bystander. You can clearly feel the physical condition and thoughts of "Dark Crow". But Xu Qingfan felt it. As long as he is willing, he can easily influence the mood and thoughts of "Dark Crow".

After a long time, the strange feeling of suddenly appearing two bodies slowly disappeared. Xu Qingfan's body still belonged to Xu Qingfan, and the body of "Dark Crow" still belonged to "Dark Crow", but it was just blending with Xu Qingfan's spirit. Xu Qingfan You can easily control the thoughts and emotions of "Dark Crow".

"Is this the first step to make the monster recognize its master? It's really amazing."

While meditating, Xu Qingfan thought secretly.

After the strange feeling disappeared, Xu Qingfan began to use his spiritual consciousness to carefully explore the situation in the "Dark Crow" egg. After all, he was still very curious about the mysterious monster beast "Dark Crow".

At this time, the body of "Dark Crow" has not yet formed. So basically, if you just explore its eggs, you will hardly gain anything. Xu Qingfan didn't expect to gain anything at first, he just did it out of curiosity.

But not long after his consciousness entered the "Dark Crow" egg, Xu Qingfan's expression was slightly startled, and then became extremely solemn.

Because Xu Qingfan suddenly discovered that there was a very special energy in the egg of "Dark Crow". This energy was so weak that anyone other than Xu Qingfan would not be able to discover this energy at all. .

And the reason why Xu Qingfan was able to discover this power. But it's because Xu Qingfan is too familiar with this energy, deathly silence, despair, and relief. But it also carries extremely powerful corrosive power.

"Is this...death energy?" Xu Qingfan muttered to himself in disbelief.

Deadly? Yes, although Xu Qingfan couldn't believe it, this energy was indeed the death energy that Xu Qingfan had encountered before. Although the quantity was vastly different, the characteristics were not different at all.

only. Didn't Liu Huaxiang say before that as long as you are a living creature in the world and have vitality in your body, you cannot obtain death energy, whether it is a human or a monster? Even if Xu Qingfan used the dead energy in his body to fuse some death energy, the damage to his body would be so horrific, let alone possessing real death energy.

But, what's going on with this "Dark Crow"? Although this trace of death energy is extremely weak, it is indeed death energy. And according to what Xu Qingfan knew. Once the demon beast is hatched, its power can truly be revealed. This weak death energy will probably increase hundreds of times. In that case, the amount of this death energy will not be considered weak.

I thought a lot in my mind at that moment, and conjectures were raised one by one and then rejected one by one. But no matter what Xu Qingfan guessed. They can't figure out how this "Dark Crow" possesses death energy.

"It's better to hatch it first. During the hatching process, something may be discovered." After a long time, Xu Qingfan murmured.

With that said, Xu Qingfan began to be busy in the house for the hatching of the "Dark Crow". Xu Qingfan took out a large number of spirit stones and formation materials, and then arranged them into a strange formation according to what he knew.

The steps and materials required to hatch monster beasts are extremely complicated. Even if Xu Qingfan now has plenty of time and has just received the offering of Jiazi, it still took nearly a hundred high-level spiritual stones and nearly a day of time to learn this formation. success.

Then, Xu Qingfan placed the "Dark Crow" egg into the center of the formation, then took a long breath, calmed down his mind, and began to circulate his spiritual energy, pinching his fingers to drive the formation.

What is different from the previous formations arranged by Xu Qingfan is that this time the formation used to hatch monster eggs does not see any changes when it is driven. There is no sudden surge of light, no overflowing of spiritual energy, just the various elements that make up the formation. The talisman gradually began to flicker with faint light as Xu Qingfan drove it, and then began to slowly flow towards the center of the formation like water waves.

In the center of the formation, the dark crow egg gradually overflowed with black mist around the egg under the surge of weak spiritual light. As time went by, the black mist became thicker and thicker, and then a slight eggshell peeling sound began to sound.

During this period of time, in addition to driving the formation, Xu Qingfan was always closely observing the changes of the dark crow egg with his spiritual sense. At the beginning, under the continuous influx of spiritual light, the chaos in the dark crow egg began to roll. During the rolling, the chaos gradually condensed into substance and gradually transformed into the shape of a crow. At the same time, the dead air that Xu Qingfan paid more attention to began to become stronger at a very fast speed. Although it was far less than the dead air that Xu Qingfan encountered when he was feeling his qualifications, it was indeed not weak.

After the death energy finally took shape, it began to penetrate into the body of the Dark Crow, which had already taken shape. However, just when Xu Qingfan was about to observe carefully how the death energy entered the Dark Crow, part of the death energy leaked out and turned into the black mist, blocking Xu Qingfan's consciousness outside.

Because of his fear of the death energy, Xu Qingfan hesitated for a moment and did not use his consciousness to forcibly break through the black mist formed by the death energy. Instead, he carefully watched the scene in the black mist. Although the black mist blocked Xu Qingfan's sight, Xu Qingfan still stared at everything in front of him without blinking.

Finally, the sound of the eggshell peeling disappeared after a short moment, and then the black mist began to shrink gradually until it disappeared. After the black mist no longer blocked Xu Qingfan's vision, a palm-sized black crow suddenly appeared in front of Xu Qingfan.

If Xu Qingfan had not seen the illustration of the Dark Crow before, he would have regarded the black guy in front of him as a real crow.

A crow-like beak, crow-like black feathers. A crow-like body, exactly the same as the crows in the mortal world. There is no momentum on the body, no energy fluctuations, and the previous death aura is even more imperceptible. There is no grace of the earth-level monster.

"It can't be that I spent so much time and energy materials just to hatch a crow? Then I will become the laughing stock of the entire cultivation world and be passed down for thousands of years."

Although I knew that the dark crow in front of me was not that simple, and the death aura I felt before was a clear proof, but looking at the guy in front of me who was no different from a crow. Xu Qingfan couldn't help but start to doubt his judgment.

After careful observation, Xu Qingfan finally found the difference between this dark crow and an ordinary crow. First, the black feathers on the body of this dark crow were too smooth, without a trace of disorder, and it even seemed as if there was a layer of black light flowing faintly outside his body.

Secondly, it was the look of this dark crow.

What should the look of a monster be?

Brutal? Fierce? Wild?

Xu Qingfan thought so before, but when he killed the blue-eyed cloud-kicking beast that destroyed his home and his people in the southern wilderness, he saw sadness in the monster's eyes.

But in the two dark eyes of this dark crow. Xu Qingfan saw another expression, that is, indifference, containing a piece of ice-like indifference. It was like the eyes that the legendary god of death should have.

"It seems that this dark crow is called the incarnation of the god of death, not entirely because of the rich imagination of humans."

Xu Qingfan murmured.

Just now, when the dark crow broke out of the shell and glanced at Xu Qingfan, even Xu Qingfan couldn't help but feel a chill. As if he was being watched by the real god of death.

This dark crow, its value may be the highest in my body except for the Holy Spirit Stone. It is much stronger than the "Five Spirits Bell".

Looking at the dark crow in front of him, which seemed to be ordinary everywhere. Xu Qingfan couldn't help but think in his heart.

"Quack quack

Just as Xu Qingfan was secretly trying to figure out what the mystery of the dark crow in front of him was, a very unpleasant bird cry suddenly sounded. It seemed that the dark crow had finally woken up from its shell. After seeing Xu Qingfan in front of him, a deeper black flashed across its black eyes, and then it began to cry.

And this cry was still exactly the same as that of the crows in the mortal world. Xu Qingfan smiled bitterly, knowing that if he didn't meet someone who knew the goods in the future, he would never be able to get away from the joke of hatching a crow as a spiritual beast.

"Quack quack

Just as Xu Qingfan was smiling bitterly, the dark crow kept quacking and flapping its black wings, as if it wanted to fly just after hatching.

Although this dark crow looked and sounded very much like a crow, it was a demon beast after all, and a powerful earth-level demon beast. In just a moment, this dark crow could actually fly up and circle around Xu Qingfan in midair, while croaking non-stop.

Although it was his first spiritual beast, Xu Qingfan had to admit that this crow-like cry was really unpleasant.

Just as Xu Qingfan was thinking. The dark crow, which had already integrated a part of Xu Qingfan's consciousness, seemed to immediately feel Xu Qingfan's thoughts, and actually shut its mouth obediently, but still circled around Xu Qingfan non-stop, and turned faster and faster, as if very anxious.

Xu Qingfan's heart moved slightly, and he closed his eyes and began to connect the part of his consciousness that had integrated into the dark crow's consciousness.

As a result, at the moment when Xu Qingfan closed his eyes, a very complex emotion suddenly entered Xu Qingfan's mind.

Nostalgia, kindness, anxiety, fear. But it was exactly the emotion in Dark Crow's heart at this time.

Feel the emotion. Xu Qingfan was slightly startled. The feeling of nostalgia and kindness was that the dark crow in front of him actually regarded Xu Qingfan as a parent at this time. It made Xu Qingfan dumbfounded.

But why should Murkrow be afraid of himself?

Suddenly, Xu Qingfan was stunned for a moment. He found a jade box from the house that could isolate the spiritual energy from spreading out, then put his "Holy Spirit Stone" into it, and then used the "World in Sleeve" technique to put it away.

Almost as soon as Xu Qingfan finished all this, the dark crow suddenly flew towards Xu Qingfan, so terrifying that it seemed to turn into a black lightning. It came to Xu Qingfan's shoulder in an instant, making Xu Qingfan almost unable to react.

As soon as he stood behind Xu Qingfan's shoulder, the dark crow did not pause. The long and sharp crow's beak pecked Xu Qingfan's earlobe. Although the movement was extremely fast, the force was extremely gentle. He only pecked a small hole in Xu Qingfan's earlobe, and then rubbed his head against the hole in Xu Qingfan's earlobe, smearing Xu Qingfan's blood on his head. And after the blood touched the Dark Crow's head. It actually slowly penetrated into Dark Crow's body.

"Recognize the Lord by shedding blood?"

Seeing Dark Crow's movements, Xu Qingfan was shocked, but he didn't expect Dark Crow to take the initiative to perform the last step of "blood oozing" to make the monster recognize its master. You know, according to Xu Qingfan's knowledge, this step is usually performed by cultivators on their own initiative. And whenever Xiu Xian takes this step, the monsters are extremely resistant.

And why would this dark crow do this on its own initiative?

Could it be because of the mutated and withered energy in his body?

Looking at the dark crow standing quietly on his shoulder, Xu Qingfan felt that it was full of mystery. And in the world of immortality. There is also very little news about the Dark Crow. Xu Qingfan has been looking through books these days and just re-read the news that everyone knows.

At this time, all the procedures for identifying the master have been completed. Xu Qingfan was no longer afraid. After carefully looking at the Dark Crow, Xu Qingfan began to use his spiritual consciousness to continuously explore the Dark Crow's body. Just as he expected. A rather strong death energy is constantly flowing in Dark Crow's body, but what's surprising is that. This deathly energy did not cause any damage to Dark Crow's body.

After Xu Qingfan pondered for a while, he suddenly raised his hand, and the dark crow flew from Xu Qingfan's shoulder to Xu Qingfan's right arm. Then Xu Qingfan raised his left hand, put his hand against Dark Crow's body, lifted up the mutated withered energy in his body, and slowly poured it into Dark Crow's body, thinking of finding out what was going on.

Although Xu Qingfan currently has three spiritual powers: the withered air, the living air, and the phoenix spiritual energy in his body, because the living air, phoenix spiritual energy, and death air have very different properties, Xu Qingfan was afraid of causing any harm to the Dark Crow, so he only called The air of death.

But the moment Xu Qingfan injected the withered energy into Dark Crow's body, a sudden change occurred.

The moment Xu Qingfan felt the air of death entering Dark Crow's body, Dark Crow's body suddenly trembled, and an extremely excited emotion was passed into Xu Qingfan's heart. At the same time, Dark Crow's body seemed to have turned into a body that specialized in absorbing dead death. Like a black hole of Qi, a powerful absorption force emerged from Dark Crow's body, constantly absorbing the withering Qi in Xu Qingfan's body.

In just a short moment, one-tenth of the dead energy in Xu Qingfan's body was sucked away by the Dark Crow! !

Feeling this change, Xu Qingfan was horrified and quickly ordered the Dark Crow to stop absorbing. Fortunately, although Dark Crow seemed to be very fond of the withered air in Xu Qingfan's body, it was still under Xu Qingfan's control. Soon after Xu Qingfan gave the order, he reluctantly stopped absorbing it, but his heart was full of grievances.

But Xu Qingfan didn't care about appeasing Dark Crow at this time, and just started to meditate alone.

Because Xu Qingfan just showed up. When Dark Crow absorbed his own death air just now, the suction force in his body was actually controlled by Dark Crow himself. After absorbing Xu Qingfan's death energy, the amount of death energy in Dark Crow's body actually became much larger.

"Dark Crow, a low-level earth-level monster. Its body is as solid as iron, it can fly very fast and can become invisible. It is known as the clone of the God of Death and is distributed in the Western Desert. It is very sensitive to death. Whenever someone in the Western Desert is on the verge of death, At this time, the Dark Crow appears. It can evolve to a high-level Earth level, and there are even legends about the appearance of a Heaven-level Dark Crow. Unfortunately, the reason for the evolution is unknown."

Dark Crow's introduction suddenly appeared in Xu Qingfan's mind. Thinking about the performance of the Dark Crow just now, I suddenly thought in my heart: "Could it be that the reason why the Dark Crow appears every time someone is about to die is because it absorbs the death energy from the dying person? Then with the help of the body's Growth of death energy, evolution?”

Although this idea is just a conjecture, but thinking about the performance of the Dark Crow when he absorbed his own death energy, Xu Qingfan felt that this answer should be the closest to the fact.

"And the reason why Dark Crow took the initiative to confess his master by dripping blood just now is probably because he sensed the powerful aura of death in my body, right?"

Thinking of this, Xu Qingfan frowned and looked at Dark Crow, who was also staring blankly at Xu Qingfan. Although Xu Qingfan could feel the various emotions changing in the Dark Crow's mind. But looking at its eyes, they are still so cold, as if these eyes do not belong to this body.

Xu Qingfan sighed slightly, knowing that he would not be able to find out the mystery of why the Dark Crow's body could accommodate the dead air in a short period of time. Because if the dead air is input into the Dark Crow's body, it will be absorbed, and if the other two spiritual energies are input, they will be rejected, and may even cause the Dark Crow to be seriously injured.

But no matter what. Xu Qingfan finally figured out the mystery of the Dark Crow's evolution, and it was not a waste of time. And if the Dark Crow really evolved by absorbing the dead air, then Xu Qingfan would not be afraid of consuming a lot of spiritual stones in the future to evolve the Dark Crow. As long as the dead air is input into the Dark Crow's body regularly, it will be fine. It has removed a big knot in Xu Qingfan's heart.

After silently observing the Dark Crow for a long time, Xu Qingfan suddenly smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Hei, I will call you Xiao Hei from now on."

Originally, Xu Qingfan wanted to give a very majestic or elegant name to the first and perhaps the only spiritual beast in his life, but this idea just came up, and then he looked at the Dark Crow, which looked no different from a crow. But he found that there was no majesty or elegance in it, so he could only sigh and give his spirit beast a vulgar name like "Xiao Hei".

Xiao Hei, small and black, is actually realistic.

Xu Qingfan comforted himself.

He resisted the urge to test Xiao Hei's power, because Xu Qingfan felt that although Xiao Hei looked inconspicuous, his power must be terrifying. If he let it fully display its strength, I'm afraid this wooden house can't be preserved. And he can't continue to retreat.

So Xu Qingfan just let Xiao Hei fly aside, and took out the magic tools "Five Spirits Bell", "Rainbow Ruler" and "Earth Mirror" one by one, ready to start refining.

ps: Yesterday, Chongzi ranked seventh in the monthly ticket list of categories, but 40 monthly tickets short of the sixth place. The results, I couldn't help but feel disappointed, so I nag everyone. Then, I was woken up by a phone call this morning. It was my friend who asked me, "Did you cheat?" I was surprised and checked online. Well, I got 50 more monthly tickets overnight, 10 more than the original sixth place. Seeing all this, I was very moved, really moved. Even now I don't know how to thank everyone. Anyway, I won't say thank you. From now on, I will update every day and everyone will see it.

An old writer suggested to me that I should update according to the monthly ticket situation at this time, that is, for every increase in the number of monthly tickets, I will add a chapter. But after thinking for a long time, I decided to forget it. This is too utilitarian for everyone and me. Again, from now on, I will write as long as I have time every day, and I will write one chapter at a time. There is no upper limit, and the number of words updated every day is at least 13,000.

I will do my best to update, and I also ask for your full support with the monthly tickets. The advantage of only one ticket is not very obvious. Since I can beat others in one night, others can also beat them in one night. So if you still have monthly tickets, please vote for Chongzi first. Thank you.
