The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2811 Swallowing and Absorption

All the bones of the skeleton, that is, all 206 bones, turned into jade color. Not only the toughness of the bones was enhanced, but the bones could also be directly controlled by spiritual power, allowing him to use the skeleton to fight without becoming a burden.

However, this skeleton is made of bones after all, and after being washed by spiritual energy, it also becomes a conductor of spiritual energy. However, because there is no flesh and blood, only bones, the spiritual energy consumption is relatively large.

What made him speechless the most was that the overall strength of the skeleton could only reach the middle level of the foundation building period at most. If he wanted to improve it, he could only do so through other means. Even if it was improved, it was only a temporary method. After a period of time, it would still return to the original strength of the middle level of the foundation building period.

In addition, due to the long time, the spiritual power cannot always control the skeleton, and can only rely on a storage method to store its own spiritual body deep in the skeleton's eyebrows. This also ensures that the spiritual body will not degenerate, and can allow the absorbed spiritual power to ensure the survival of the spiritual body.

Originally, the closed door of the mystery of life and death was a means and method to break through the stage of one's own strength, but he did not expect that he failed, and he was unwilling to accept the failure. He could only watch his body gradually die, and then use special means to separate his soul from it, and survive as a spirit.

However, since the spirit has no power, it can only stay in the gate of life and death, but cannot open the gate of life and death to get out.

So he could only use secret methods, using spiritual power over and over again to wash his body that had turned into a skeleton, strengthen the bones, so as to control the skeleton, and then be able to get out when the time comes.

But unfortunately, he had just turned into a skeleton and still had a spirit body, so he was unable to exert his specific strength. He could only watch time pass by but had no way to get out.

When he was able to get out, he discovered again that this secret method of leaving the body had a limitation that made him frustrated: after death, he could not leave the original place too far, otherwise the spirit and the skeleton would separate, and he would become a spirit and a skeleton again.

Therefore, he could only stay in this place that was the gateway to life and death and could not go out, day after day, hoping that someone could break in and take over his body directly, so that he could use the new body to leave here.

Unfortunately, after waiting year after year, no one came, and he gradually became desperate. He could only stay between the skull's brows, waiting for an opportunity.

Of course, he has another way, which is to kill his pet, the saber-toothed tiger, which brought him to the threshold of life and death, and then take over the body of a saber-toothed tiger.

But this saber-toothed tiger is an animal. It is so sad that he turned into an animal. He wants to be a human, not an animal. He does not want to change from an upright two-legged animal to a four-legged animal.

However, after years of waiting, it was too long, so he could only choose to become a four-legged beast, break through the gate of life and death and get out before doing anything else. Even if he didn't have the secret manual of monster cultivation, he could use this saber-toothed tiger to collect it.

However, when he wanted to take over another body and become a saber-toothed tiger, he found that it was impossible. Because when he entered the gate of life and death, in order to ensure that he could not break through, he left a way out, which was to become a spirit body.

So during this period, in order to ensure that he could survive after becoming a spirit, he deliberately gave the saber-toothed tiger's spirit an insurance. If he needed soul power when he became a spirit, he would be able to devour the saber-toothed tiger's spirit and replenish his own spirit.

Moreover, even without replenishment, he could still control the saber-toothed tiger when he was in spirit form. Even if he was reborn after taking over another body, he could still control the saber-toothed tiger through the power of his soul.

However, he did not expect that this secret method had a limitation, that is, after he became a spirit, he could devour the soul of the saber-toothed tiger without any problem, but he could not turn into the saber-toothed tiger. In other words, he could devour the soul of the saber-toothed tiger, but he could not take over the body of the saber-toothed tiger and turn into the saber-toothed tiger.

This made him feel like he was shooting himself in the foot. This secret technique really made him a little upset. It actually had such a limitation. If he had known this earlier, he would not have used this secret technique.

Therefore, he could only watch the saber-toothed tiger guard him, but he could not take over its body. This situation of seeing the saber-toothed tiger strolling outside every day and he could only watch was simply tormenting him to death.

Sometimes, he wanted to explode and die directly, without waiting for someone to come in and then use his secret technique to take over their body.

But he was afraid of death and wanted to enjoy the beauty of this world, so he could only continue to wait.

Maybe it was God's will, or maybe it was luck that changed, but he never expected that someone would open the gate of life and death to him and break in.

Moreover, he also discovered that there were so many people breaking in. They were simply delivering themselves to his doorstep. If he didn't take over their bodies, it would be a shame for his years of waiting.

However, when taking over a body, it is also the weakest time. No one must disturb you when taking over a body, and the soul of the person being taken over cannot resist.

Therefore, he could only wait quietly for his opportunity.

But he didn't expect that someone took away his storage ring, which contained elixirs for restoring his body after taking over another's body, as well as some other treasures. So, he had to take the storage ring back.

Unfortunately, he found it very difficult to speak. He could only keep repeating "give me back my things". He couldn't say "give me back my storage ring", otherwise these guys would just turn around and run away, and he wouldn't be able to chase them. Wouldn't that be a waste of opportunity?

Also, once these people bury their bodies, that is, this skeleton, how can he take over another body?

To possess a body, you need to control the body you want to possess, and you also need to prepare everything. Therefore, you can only fight these guys, defeat them, and then choose a body to possess.

However, what he didn't expect was that the fighting ability of this skeleton was really weak. It could even be said that it could only exert less than one-tenth of its original strength, which made him depressed to death.

This is not the most depressing thing. What is even more depressing is that he can feel that after his spirit body combined with the skeleton, the consumption of spiritual power is very large, while the consumption of the three opponents is not that great.

This made him feel a little helpless. If he had known this, why didn't he set up some formations in this place to use their strength to kill these three old guys. Moreover, he could see that although there were many intruders, only the three in front of him were strong. Not only were the others weak, but they were not cultivators.

This is easy. First, use the technique to defeat the three Lao Dengs, and then choose one to possess. Or use the technique to kill two of them, and then possess one of them.

As for those who ran away, there was no way to chase them out. After all, he could not leave this gate of life and death unless he succeeded in taking over another's body.

Of course, he still remembered that along with these intruders, a spirit also broke into the cave hall, but since he could not spare his hands, he could not find out the location of the spirit. He could only find it after defeating the opponent.

If you devour this intruding spirit and then choose to possess its body, you may be able to increase the chances of possessing its body and even allow your soul to be transformed.

But now, he didn't feel that he had consumed much energy from these three enemies, and his spiritual body was gradually becoming weak. If he continued, he might be defeated by these three enemies.

This is really speechless. If the storage ring was in his hand at this time, he might be able to replenish some spiritual power, after all, there are many treasures in the ring.

As a spirit, he was not so sensitive in controlling the storage ring, so he didn't pay attention and was only focused on finding an opportunity to take over the body. When he was about to do so, Qian Ying calmly took away the storage ring.

And now, if he wants to take the storage ring back, he can only defeat it first.

Then, the jade skeleton stood beside the saber-toothed tiger and cast a secret spell to directly extract the saber-toothed tiger's soul power.

The secret technique was performed very quickly, so quickly that Qian Ying and the other three people had no time to react. They saw the jade skeleton wave its claws, and the saber-toothed tiger lying on the ground became limp and closed its eyes. A faint ball of light appeared from the saber-toothed tiger's head and then fell onto the jade skeleton's claws.

"Damn it, we can't let it get that thing!" Qian Ying shouted immediately and quickly stepped forward to attack.

After hearing this, the other two immediately joined the attack.

But their speed seemed to be a little slower than that of the Jade Skeleton. Therefore, the Jade Skeleton did not turn around, but dodged and retreated again, holding the small glowing ball in one of its bony claws. If you look closely, you can see a small saber-toothed tiger in the ball of light, looking around with a terrified expression, trying to get out of the ball of light, but unable to get out.

With a "clang" sound, the other hand of the jade skeleton pulled out the toothed knife that was inserted into the ribs, resolved Qian Ying's attack, and then accelerated to retreat again.

But the three innate elders seemed to know that they couldn’t give the jade skeleton time to deal with the small ball of light, otherwise they might be in trouble.

So the three innate Lao Deng kept attacking, quickly exchanging positions, without relaxing at all.

For a moment, the rapid clanging sound of swords clashing could be heard again in the cave hall.

Unfortunately, what the three innate masters did not expect was that the Jade Skeleton was eventually slightly better and used its body skills to neutralize the attacks of the three people one by one, then flashed to the other side of the stone table and used the stone table to delay the attacks of the three innate masters.

Then, taking advantage of this opportunity, he directly placed the saber-toothed tiger's soul light ball in his hand between his eyebrows.

Naturally, the spirit between the eyebrows instantly wrapped around the saber-toothed tiger spirit and started devouring it.

This is different from swallowing. Since the saber-toothed tiger's spirit body contains a trace of the jade skeleton's soul, it is quite easy to swallow. It can be directly transformed into the jade skeleton's soul body at the fastest speed.

In just a moment, the soul body of the jade skeleton grew rapidly, becoming a circle larger than before, and the soul power also increased a lot.
