Strange mountains and rivers

It seems that the potential displayed by this winged fire snake is more powerful than imagined.

Chen Huaisheng didn't know that although the hatching of the Winged Fire Snake required fire-based materials for baking, there were very few people who specifically found enough five-element divine objects such as Red Rock Essence for careful hatching, and they also used Xuanhuang God. Use soil as an aid.

It can be said that this Winged Fire Snake egg was cultivated according to top standards from the beginning, directly surpassing more than 99% of successfully cultivated Winged Fire Snakes.

He only felt that the heat released from the entire body of the young fire-winged snake in his hand was extremely strong, far exceeding his expectations.

The young winged fire snake quickly fell into a comatose state after swallowing a large amount of fire spirit grass juice.

This state of sleeping and eating after eating will last for three days. After three days, the Winged Fire Snake will shed a layer of baby snake skin, and then it will begin to enter the real growth state, taking various fire-type spiritual plants every day. With animal meat, it is not until after the age of three that it officially enters a stable and mature state.

Before the age of three, the Winged Fire Snake is in a youthful growth stage, but its power as a spiritual beast will gradually become apparent.

"Senior brother, how long is the lifespan of this fire-winged snake? Is the fire spirit grass planted enough?"

Sandaling, who has already advanced to the fourth level of Qi refining, appears more confident and mature than ever before. He is finally able to reach the middle level of Qi refining. This should be a huge breakthrough. He is also grateful to Chen Huaisheng.

"The lifespan of the Winged Fire Snake is closely related to its domestication status. If it is domesticated well, it may be a hundred years old. If it is not domesticated well, it will lose its aura in ten to twenty years and its lifespan will be running out."

If a Winged Fire Snake is properly tamed, it can usually live to be eighty years old, but it is rare. Fifty years old is considered the normal lifespan of a Winged Fire Snake.

But Chen Huaisheng also knew that the Winged Fire Snake would be more powerful after entering a stable period, and as long as sufficient fire-type spiritual plant meat could be supplemented, its power would continue to grow steadily, making it a trump card that was completely worth investing in.

"Senior brother, do you think it's possible for me to tame a spiritual beast?" Sandeling looked at the young fire-winged snake in Chen Huaisheng's hand and was also very excited.

"Theoretically, anyone can tame it, but in fact, we need to consider whether it is cost-effective to tame a spiritual beast." Chen Huaisheng did not intend to attack the other party, but he also wanted to make it clear to the other party: "De Ling, you have also seen the Winged Fire Snake every day. Food costs a lot, and it would be easier to domesticate it. However, if it is delayed and not fed in time, its quality will immediately decline and be irreparable..."

"Senior brother, are other spiritual beasts like this?" Sandeling was a little disappointed and couldn't help but ask again.

This is indeed a problem. The investment is too large and once the quality is delayed, it is not cost-effective.

"Not necessarily. The Winged Fire Snake is quite picky in this regard. Other spiritual beasts also have various special requirements, each of which is different." Seeing the other party's appearance, Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "De Ling, you are not suitable yet. There are too many things to consider. When you have truly reached the advanced stage of Qi refining and your spiritual practice has stabilized, it is not too late to consider these things again."

Sandeling nodded silently.

The cost of taming a spiritual beast is huge, which is far beyond what he can consider now. He envies Chen Huaisheng's current state of ease, but he also knows that he cannot compare with others, and he must first improve his spiritual realm steadily.

Now that he has advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he should spend the next few years practicing hard to attack the fifth and sixth levels.

He knew that his talent was not too high. If he could advance to the advanced level of Qi refining within ten years, he would be considered perfect.

If you follow the person in front of you, you may not be able to realize your wish.

Chen Huaisheng took a few people to carefully check the various spiritual plants planted, and then left after confirming that there were no mistakes.

Only then did he feel the pressure. This fire-winged snake would be devouring fire spiritual plants every day for three days, so he had to store a considerable amount in his storage bag.

These fire-type spiritual plants are generally not sold outside, and you basically have to grow them yourself. But once you leave the mountain gate, you must be fully prepared.

This also means that the planting in this mountain gate cannot be left behind at all, and planting must be rotated several seasons a year.

Plants such as Chunyang Zizhi and Jinyan Bean take half a year to mature, while Lihuo Cloud Vine and Edelweiss can be harvested in two to three months. They cannot always feed the Winged Fire Snake a type of spiritual plant, so they have to change it.

At this time, Chen Huaisheng felt like he had a father, but he hoped that this guy could really show his power when he grew up, otherwise he would really be at a big loss.

After returning to Dao She, Zhao Liangkui was already waiting.

"Decided?" Chen Huaisheng didn't waste any nonsense. Seeing the other party nodding, he stopped talking, "Okay, Yan Cao Dan has been prepared for you. In three months, devote yourself to it with no distractions, but don't rush for success. , Haste makes waste, De Ling, De Lu hasn’t come out of seclusion yet, you will take care of Liang Kui’s side.”

Sand Ling has advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and Zhao Liangkui has been impatient for a long time, but Hu Delu has not yet been able to successfully escape, and the three of them are now chasing after each other.

Sandling naturally had no objection.

"I estimate that there may be some action at the mountain gate in the near future, but it probably won't be your turn, so you just need to stay at the mountain gate with peace of mind..."

Zhao Liangkui and Sandang Ling were both a little nervous: "But what about Lingyun Sect? Senior brother you also want to..."

"There is no shirking the responsibility." Chen Huaisheng stretched out, "Eat the sect, use the sect, and you belong to the sect. If the sect is in trouble, you can't just act like a tortoise. Whether you live or die, you have to go through it." ah."

Sandang Ling and Zhao Liangkui were horrified when they heard this. They had rarely heard Chen Huaisheng talk about a war in such an unoptimistic tone, "Brother, is it really serious?"

"The Yuelu Sect is not a weakling. In terms of strength, it is probably better than Master Ding and others before they joined the sect, and there is also a Tianhe Sect with ulterior motives..." Chen Huaisheng pondered and said: "But we can't win this battle. Do not hit."

"If the Tianhe Sect wants to join in, our sect may not be able to win." Zhao Liangkui was a little anxious: "I heard that the Tianhe Sect is stronger than the Yuelu Sect. How can we withstand the two combined? live?"

"That's not how the war is fought." Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "The Tianhe Sect also has a grudge against the Yuelu Sect, so how can it sincerely support the Yuelu Sect? It doesn't want us and the Yuelu Sect to both lose, and it reaps the benefits. , we and the Yuelu Sect also expected this, we have to fight, but fighting cannot benefit others, so this is also a dilemma, it all depends on the decision made by the leader on the spot."

Several parties can calculate these situations, but there are too many unpredictable situations in the war itself. You want to stop it in moderation, but once there are casualties in the war, the casualties are too large, or important people on both sides are injured or killed, can you still control the situation? ?

I'm afraid that the emotions of the disciples behind both sides will force you to continue fighting until one side can no longer accept it.

Not to mention that there is a spoiler next to him who is eyeing the situation eagerly, trying every possible means to provoke the two sides to fight more intensely.

Once a war occurs, casualties are inevitable, and no one can predict how far the war will go. For Chen Huaisheng, it is all about improving his combat power as much as possible, protecting himself, and killing the enemy.

When Min Qingyu brought the family's legendary ghost scissors, Chen Huaisheng threw himself into practicing paper-cutting without any hesitation.

The book "The Secret Technique of Ghost Cutting" only explains the basic techniques of how to cut out paper puppets. The experience of using it depends on the cutter himself.

Chen Huaisheng spent two days concentrating on it before starting to cut paper.

The entire Taiyin Yellow Urn paper was unfolded by himself. Chen Huaisheng cut out a piece first and silently recited the divine urn runes in his heart.

The booklet provides a variety of paper-cut graphics, and the cutter can cut them out according to his own intention and spiritual power.

Gradually, the divine runes emerged in my heart, and the meaning reached my consciousness. It extended along the arm to the ghost scissors in my hand, and a faint light shone on the ghost scissors.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Huaisheng activated the water and fire spiritual power and began to cut.

After all, it was his first time, and this kind of work was really unfamiliar. As soon as he cut it, the Taiyin yellow paper creaked, which made Chen Huaisheng a little nervous.

The Taiyin yellow paper was only one big piece, and he had calculated that he could cut out twenty or so sheets.

So he cut out twenty-one pieces of yellow paper of different sizes according to his own cutting.

This also means that if you cut out one piece of paper, there will be one less piece. Don’t cut out all the pieces of Taiyin Yellow Paper, otherwise you will really cry without tears.

The ghost scissors slowly cut out, and the yellow paper turned according to Chen Huaisheng's hands. The scissors finally cut out a person's head.

Taking another breath to calm down, the ghost scissors were working hard to cut out the shoulders along the neck, but as soon as the yellow paper moved, the scissors cut across, and with a sharp sound, the entire yellow paper was dimmed.

It’s over, it’s useless.

Chen Huaisheng was so upset that he couldn't help but beat his legs with his fists.

The power of water and fire is not mixed well, and the water quality is too strong, resulting in an imbalance of yin and yang, which is a waste of one piece.

Come again!

Adjust the breath again and slowly activate the water and fire spiritual power.

Only then did Chen Huaisheng realize that this job was not at all easier than practicing. Every trace of charm had to be exquisite to the extreme. Otherwise, the charm would be reflected immediately when it was transferred to the yellow paper through the ghost scissors, and the slightest deviation would be wasted.

With his eyes locked tightly, his fingers gently grasped the yellow paper and moved it along with the strength of the ghost scissors. The aura flowed out from the blade of the ghost scissors, cutting the yellow paper...

Seeing that a human figure was about to take shape, Chen Huaisheng was secretly happy.

The mind trembled slightly, the aura was mixed, the cut was tilted, and the yellow paper became dim again.

Damn it!

Chen Huaisheng almost threw the ghost scissors!

Another waste!

Come again!

Chen Huaisheng calmed down.

He knew he was a little upset.

You have to be steady and don't rush for success.

There are only twenty-one Taiyin Yellow Ribbons in total. If you continue to waste them like this, you may only succeed with seven or eight. That would be really too cowardly and suffocating.

The reason why it is best for the same person to cut paper and use the puppet to achieve the best effect is that the puppet can best fit the current state of the user.

Therefore, it pays special attention to the tacit understanding between cutting and using in the spirit.
