Chapter 87: Accidentally Obtaining Wind Crystal

Xiao Lin understood after a brief thought. This [Spirit Controlling Technique] was most likely a unique skill of Qianling Mountain. The double-winged black snake beside Qi Chang should be his pet. Being able to control such a huge pet would indeed allow him to take advantage in a fight, which was equivalent to two against one. However, this skill also had a limitation, that is, the pet had to be raised from birth.

This Spirit Controlling Technique recorded that the so-called pet was actually a demon beast. Before the demon beast was hatched, it was controlled through secret techniques to enhance the pet's trust and loyalty to the cultivator, and then it could assist the cultivator in fighting against the enemy and doing some simple things. Moreover, if the controlled pet was of high quality, it could slowly advance as the cultivator's cultivation level increased, which was very helpful for the cultivator to improve his own combat power.

Seeing this, Xiao Lin was quite interested, but after a brief thought, he threw the jade slip into his bag. Not to mention that the so-called spirit pets had to be carefully cultivated from childhood, he couldn't get the spirit pet eggs before hatching. In his opinion, since Qianling Mountain was famous for controlling spirit beasts, there must be many spirit beasts raised in the sect, and there should be quite a few unhatched monster eggs. It would be more convenient for the disciples of Qianling Mountain.

But for a casual cultivator like Xiao Lin, it was really useless. Not to mention the general elementary and intermediate spirit pets, for his current combat power, they were of limited help. Naturally, he was unwilling to spend too much energy to cultivate them. For those high-level, great perfection or even true monster beasts, if he stole their eggs, it would definitely lead to crazy revenge. Moreover, it was clearly stated in the Yuling Jue that the higher the level of the spirit pet, the more energy and resources it would take. For Xiao Lin at this stage, it was not a worthwhile thing in any way.

Besides, Xiao Lin also understood that he was just a casual cultivator now. If he was accompanied by a spirit pet and flaunted himself in the streets, needless to say, even a fool would know what he had done. At that time, he would attract a bunch of disciples from Qianling Mountain to chase him. Even if he had ten lives, it would not be enough for others to kill him. So after thinking about it, he temporarily gave up the idea of ​​practicing this [Spirit Control Technique].

Xiao Lin was a little disappointed with the old man with goat beard. It seemed that he was not doing well among the outer disciples of Qianling Sect. Except for some spirit stones, he had nothing to put on the table. However, after thinking about it, Xiao Lin was relieved. The old man with goat beard was over 40 years old and still had not entered the realm of great perfection in the Qi Refining Stage. With such qualifications and cultivation, he had basically been abandoned by Qianling Sect. He was allowed to do odd jobs in the sect and do some low-end things. Naturally, he would not be provided with more resources.

He picked up the last jade box and opened it gently. Inside was a thumb-sized crystal, which was translucent. In this crystal, there was a faint gray light dot, which seemed to be constantly flowing.

Seeing this crystal, Xiao Lin's face suddenly showed a surprise expression.

"Wind crystal?"

For this wind crystal, Xiao Lin had been looking for it for a long time. He visited every shop in Chixia Fairy City and paid special attention to the material of wind crystal. However, he always went there with high hopes and returned with disappointment. Xiao Lin even doubted whether the material of wind crystal existed.

But he never thought that he would get it from this old man with a goat beard. This made him ecstatic. The only material left for refining the Lingyin Shield Spirit Weapon was the cold stone, and he already knew the whereabouts of the cold stone. He wanted to get the cold stone, at least in his opinion, he had a 50% to 60% chance of getting it.

Originally, he bought the refining method of the Lingyin Shield Spirit Weapon at the auction of Wuyin Fairy City. He never thought that he could gather all the materials in a short time. It was more of a wish for himself. After all, the spiritual weapon was a high-level magic weapon that even the foundation-building period cultivators dreamed of. But he didn't expect that he could actually gather all the refining materials.

If he could refine this Lingyin Shield before the cave trial, it would undoubtedly improve his combat power a lot, at least increase his chances of saving his life by several times. However, there is still a very realistic problem. Even if he refines the Lingyin Shield, he cannot complete the last step of the spiritual weapon - infusing the spirit without the spirit of the monster. A spiritual weapon without the spirit cannot be called a spiritual weapon, but can only be regarded as a spirit blank, and its power is only at the level of a top-grade magic weapon.

But after thinking for a long time, Xiao Lin could only put this matter aside for the time being. The spirit of the monster can only be obtained from the body of a monster above the ordinary level, and the probability of obtaining the spirit from the body of a monster of the ordinary level is extremely low.

For example, the mutant two-legged anaconda that Xiao Lin got may also have the spirit, but he did not get it, and even did not get the seal with a higher probability. Only monsters above the true level have a much higher probability of obtaining the spirit from their bodies. Therefore, in Xiao Lin's view, whether he can get the spirit depends entirely on luck. As for killing the true level monster, Xiao Lin has never thought about it.

Now that the materials for upgrading Seven Blades Slash were complete, Xiao Lin should have returned to Chixia Fairy City, but what made him depressed was his three primary spells. After more than half a year of practicing day and night, he had only managed to cultivate these three primary spells to the silent level, and was still a long way from the instant perfect level. This made him quite unwilling. In terms of power, the silent level primary spells were at least several times higher than the ordinary great perfect basic spells, but Xiao Lin was extremely dissatisfied with the casting speed.

After all, when cultivators fight, they pay attention to speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. Opportunities are fleeting. Even if the silent level does not need to recite long and obscure spells, silence does not mean that time is not needed. After the spell is cast, it will take a while before the second attack can be launched. This is absolutely fatal to the battle between cultivators.

Now Xiao Lin began to understand why there are very few low-level cultivators who practice magic, because basically, spells that are not perfect will seem a bit useless for the battle between cultivators. If they want to practice to perfect, the time and spirit stones they need to spend are absolutely astronomical figures for them. This is something that ordinary Qi Refining cultivators cannot afford. Even Xiao Lin, who seemed to have only spent more than half a year, practiced the three primary spells of Void Spirit Shield, Thunder Technique, and Fireball Technique to the silent level.

But you have to know that in the past six months, he has been casting spells almost non-stop to improve his spell proficiency. For this, the number of Huiyuan Dan he consumed is definitely calculated in units of hundreds. If a cultivator relies on meditation to restore mana to practice spells, this time will at least increase by several times. For a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage whose life span is almost the same as that of an ordinary mortal, this is absolutely fatal.

If a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage cannot build a foundation before the age of 40, it is basically hopeless to build a foundation in this life, which means that after a hundred years, he will also return to dust like a mortal. The so-called cultivation of immortals is nothing but a mirage and an illusion.
