Chapter 74: Spirit Pet: Frost Crystal Maiden, Qi Ming Chooses His Core Formation Method, Blood Monkey Demon King
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qi Ming did not have a huge need for spirit pets. At present, it was enough with Huo Changqing around. It was enough to deal with the task of purchasing spiritual herbs and selling top-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.
Of course, it was not bad to have a new spirit pet.
Item: Frost Crystal Maiden.
Introduction: A demon imprisoned in the Shu Mountain Demon Subduing Pagoda. Legend had it that the Frost Crystal Maiden was a demon transformed from a snow spirit. She was born with the Dao of Ice and would freeze everything she encountered to increase her demon energy.
There were even rumors that she had grown up in the snow mountains since a young age. After she grew up, she had to come to the human world and freeze the human man she loved before bringing him back to the mountain to absorb his essence and cultivate her Inner Core. Otherwise, her body would dissipate and become snowflakes that floated down to the world. Only after a hundred years would she be able to reform. Her Inner Core was the crystal of ice and snow. The owner could freely enter and exit flames and would not be burned.
The Ice Crystal Maiden was an elite spirit pet and had a high growth potential. After she grew to the complete stage, she could reach the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.
“Elite spirit pet.”
Qi Ming said in a slightly happy tone, “This spirit pet is indeed not bad. Its growth attribute is even higher than Huo Changqing’s. When it grows to the limit, it can reach the late-stage Nascent Soul realm.”
“Activate the third spirit pet slot.” Qi Ming said.
Ding!
“Charge 10,000 medium-grade spirit stones. The third spirit pet slot has been successfully activated.”
Then, Qi Ming dripped blood and bound the Frost Crystal Maiden to himself. He could completely control the life and death of the Frost Crystal Maiden, and she appeared.
“Master.”
The Frost Crystal Maiden had just appeared. She was still a child and was very short. She only reached Qi Ming’s knees. Her entire body was ice-blue and she was wearing a long dress. Her round face looked very exquisite and cute as she bowed very obediently to Qi Ming.
“Mm.”
Qi Ming nodded slightly, “Not bad. You’re only an infant now, but you have the strength of the sixth level Qi Refinement realm. You far surpass the Greater Bat Demon. Go to the third spirit pet slot and grow.”
“Yes.” The Frost Crystal Maiden nodded.
Swish!
A white light flashed in front of him.
The Frost Crystal Maiden disappeared.
At the same time, with a thought, Qi Ming charged a million low-grade spirit stones.
Ding!
“Charging successful.”
“‘Spirit Pet: Frost Crystal Maiden will grow under the enhancement of 10,000 times. Because of the abundance of spirit stones, there is a high chance of comprehending a powerful spell.”
A notification appeared.
The next day, at noon.
Lü Qingyan came out of seclusion this morning. Qi Ming did not receive any news, but at noon, she came to visit.
“Senior Sister.”
Qi Ming went out to welcome them. His face revealed a look of joy. He sized up Lü Qingyan and said, “You’ve come out of seclusion.”
“Mm.” Lü Qingyan smiled and said, “I’ve been in seclusion for a year and have completely recovered. I came out of seclusion this morning. Moreover, I’ve broken through and established my foundation. My cultivation level has improved. I reckon that I’ll have a chance to break through to the Leaving Aperture realm soon.”
“Congratulations, Senior Sister.” Qi Ming congratulated her sincerely.
“How was your year?”
Lü Qingyan sized up Qi Ming but could not tell anything. She only felt that after a year, her junior brother’s aura had become even more natural and easygoing. It was difficult to determine. It even seemed to be returning to his original cultivation-less state.
“Not bad.” Qi Ming smiled. “I’m already at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.”
“So fast.”
Lü Qingyan was very shocked, “You only used a year to reach the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm. Good, good, good. As expected of my genius junior brother.”
“Does Master know about this?”
“I didn’t have the chance to tell Master.”
Qi Ming said, “If Senior Sister meets Master, you can tell him.”
“Don’t worry.”
Lu Qingyan nodded. “Since you’ve already reached the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, it’s time to learn the Core Formation Method. Otherwise, your cultivation level won’t be able to continue rising.”
Then, Qi Ming and Lü Qingyan chatted a little more.
Half an hour later, Lü Qingyan left.
She was probably prepared to tell Feng Zimu about Qi Ming breaking through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.
In the afternoon, Feng Zimu arrived at the Falling Cloud Peak. Moreover, Peak Master Miao Hongjian had also arrived. Lü Qingyan followed behind the two of them and was slightly behind them.
Feng Zimu directly asked, “You really broke through to the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm?”
“Yes, Master.” Qi Ming nodded. “I broke through two days ago.”
“Okay.” Feng Zimu said, “Circulate your cultivation technique with all your might now.”
“Yes.”
With a thought from Qi Ming, the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture circulated with all its might. The twelfth-grade Chaos Green Lotus quickly appeared and a green light blossomed.
Buzz! Buzz!
The power of the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm was released.
“Hahaha…”
Feng Zimu laughed loudly. His expression was of excitement that could no longer be hidden, “This is great, this is great. As expected of my disciple.”
“A year!”
“It only took a year!”
“He’s already at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm.”
“Moreover, he cultivates the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture.”
Feng Zimu said, “You are the most talented disciple I have ever taken in. There are still nine years. At that time, you must not miss the legacy competition. With your talent, you will definitely be able to shine. You can even be selected to cultivate in the Heaven Enlightenment Immortal Mountain.”
“Yes.” Qi Ming nodded.
“Very good!”
Miao Hongjian nodded, “Qi Ming, you didn’t disappoint us.”
“Thank you, Master and Peak Master for your praise.”
Qi Ming cupped his hands and bowed.
“Since you’ve already reached the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, you can’t continue cultivating the Chaos Green Lotus Sword Scripture. You’ve already reached the limit. You need a new Core Formation Method.”
Feng Zimu said, “Prepare yourself immediately. Follow me and the Peak Master to the Green Cloud Peak’s True Teaching Hall to choose the Core Formation Method.”
“Yes.” Qi Ming nodded.
The truth was, Qi Ming had already cultivated the Golden Core Great Dao Scripture, but in order to hide it, he indeed had to choose a Core Formation Method from the Green Cloud Peak.
“I don’t have anything to prepare. We can set off now.” Qi Ming continued.
“Then let’s go.”
Feng Zimu and Miao Hongjian looked at each other.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Qi Ming and the others transformed into streaks of light and left the Falling Cloud Peak. This was the first time Qi Ming had left the Falling Cloud Peak in a year.
A few minutes later, Qi Ming and the others arrived at the Green Cloud Peak. Under the lead of Miao Hongjian and Feng Zimu, they entered the Green Cloud Peak’s True Teaching Hall and chose the Core Formation realm cultivation method.
While Qi Ming was selecting the Core Formation Method, on the other side, on Blood Monkey Mountain, something major happened.
Around noon, Yuan Feng received a sect mission and headed to the Blood Monkey Mountain to collect ten kilograms of Blood Monkey’s heart blood. He needed to kill a large number of Blood Monkey demon beasts.
Apart from Yuan Feng, there were also nine inner sect disciples.
The strongest was already at the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm, and the lowest was Yuan Feng. She was only at the seventh level Qi Refinement realm. The weakest among the other inner sect disciples was at the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm.
They had already arrived at the Blood Monkey Mountain.
“Yuan Feng, your cultivation level is too low. If not for the requirements of the sect mission, we wouldn’t have wanted to bring you here at all. You should know this.”
“Don’t drag us down when the time comes.”
“You have to know your place.”
“Do you understand?”
In the surroundings, several senior brothers and sisters shouted.
“Yes.” Yuan Feng lowered her head. Although she was very unhappy and unwilling, they were stronger than her. Yuan Feng did not dare to say anything and could only lower her head silently.
Ten minutes later, Yuan Feng and the others encountered a small group of blood monkeys. The battle erupted, and both sides fought intensely. Yuan Feng was also fighting a blood monkey, and she spent a great deal of effort to kill this blood monkey.
Half an hour later, the battle ended.
The 23 blood monkeys were all killed and began to collect the blood from the blood monkeys’ hearts. However, the blood that was distributed to Yuan Feng was less than 500 grams.
Yuan Feng had killed a blood monkey. No matter what, the blood in the blood monkey’s heart should not only be 500 grams. This made Yuan Feng feel even more displeased.
However, she had no choice. After all, her cultivation level was the weakest in the entire team.
She could only accept it.
They continued forward.
Yuan Feng and the others gradually entered the Blood Monkey Mountain. They killed more and more blood monkeys and were closer to completing the mission.
However, the late-stage Foundation Establishment senior sister, Zhang Chuyu, wanted the Blood Monkey Wine brewed by the Blood Monkey Demon Clan. Therefore, the group continued to enter.
Finally, they found the Blood Monkey Demon Clan’s nest and also discovered the Blood Monkey Wine brewed by the Blood Monkey Demon Clan. However, it had already attracted the Blood Monkey Demon King’s attention.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
The Blood Monkey Demon King smelled the blood on Yuan Feng and the others’ bodies. Immediately, its eyes turned red and were filled with violent killing intent. It roared as the surrounding Blood Monkey Demon Generals attacked.
Boom!
At the same time, the Blood Monkey Demon King pounced over.
“Blood… Blood Monkey Demon King!”
Zhang Chuyu was frightened until her face was pale and she was terrified. She let out a terrified scream and did not have the desire to continue fighting. She turned around and fled.
“Run!”
“The Blood Monkey Demon King is a demon beast in the Core Formation realm.”
“Run!”
The others were also running.
Gulp!
Yuan Feng swallowed her saliva. Originally, she was wondering if she could obtain a little Blood Monkey Wine to bring back to show her filial piety to Uncle-Master Qi, but now it seemed to be impossible. She had to escape quickly.
“Ah!!!”
“Save me!”
“Ugh!!!”
Yuan Feng heard the miserable screams of the other senior brothers and sisters, but she acted as if she did not hear them and fled with all her might. She did not dare to stop at all. She turned around and took a few glances, only to see her senior brothers and sisters being ruthlessly killed by the Blood Monkey Demon Generals.
It was extremely miserable.
In front and beside Yuan Feng were a few senior brothers and senior sisters who were also fleeing. They were all pale with fear.
“Ah!!!”
Pew!!!
Zhang Chuyu was sent flying by the Blood Monkey Demon King’s palm. She spat out blood and crashed into many trees. It was unknown if she was dead or alive. The Blood Monkey Demon King roared and looked around. Its gaze landed on Yuan Feng and the others, who were the fastest to escape.
Boom!
The Blood Monkey Demon King jumped up and pounced over.
“!!!”
Yuan Feng’s beautiful eyes widened.
“Die.”
Suddenly, a senior sister beside Yuan Feng had a ruthless expression as she pushed Yuan Feng down. She wanted to let Yuan Feng cover the retreat and stall the Blood Monkey Demon King for time.
“You!!!”
Yuan Feng was shocked.
Boom!
There was a loud sound.
At the critical moment, Yuan Feng rolled over and dodged. However, her escape route was cut off by the Blood Monkey Demon King. The Blood Monkey Demon King revealed a sinister smile as it stared at Yuan Feng mockingly.
“Storm Pear Blossom Canister!”
Buzz!
At the critical moment, Yuan Feng did not have time to think anymore. She directly took out the Storm Pear Blossom Canister that Qi Ming had given her and injected spirit energy to activate this one-time use treasure, “Uncle-Master, oh Uncle-Master, you must not lie to me. The power of this treasure must be strong enough. Otherwise, no one will really make spiritual food for you in the future.”
Boom!
The power of the Storm Pear Blossom Canister erupted.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In an instant, the 129,600 thin needles that were as thick as hairs blossomed like sword qi like a gorgeous lotus flower.
They attacked the Blood Monkey Demon King..
