Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 182 Four Legs
When Li Zhen left the Student Union, his status in the Student Union changed from a trainee member to an inspector of the Law Enforcement Department.

This position has no actual tasks, it is mainly just a title.

The Law Enforcement Department is under the jurisdiction of Deputy Minister Zheng. He did not want other competitors to win Li Zhen, so he arranged Li Zhen to be under his command.

Although the inspector of the Law Enforcement Department is just a figurehead, he still has actual power. His identity bracelet has an additional power that allows him to patrol Aoki University.

If he wants, he can also take on tasks from the law enforcement department.

Li Zhen didn't care too much about the identity of the inspector. He cared more about the one thousand credits and thirty pieces of first-grade top-quality thunder talisman paper.

With this channel to earn credits, he no longer needs to go on hunting missions.

He went to the demon kingdom world simply to facilitate his trip to the ancient cultivation world, and to practice in the third-level cave from the ancient cultivation world.

On the tenth day after the New Year, Li Zhen, who was practicing in the third-level cave, suddenly sensed something and slowly stopped practicing.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Snow White with his hair standing up all over his body. He was huddled in a corner, looking at Four Foot with fear in his eyes.

Li Zhen was alarmed by the extremely unstable breath of the four-legged creature. He understood the four-legged creature's current state and believed that it was about to be promoted to the second level.

To be honest, the advancement of an ordinary monster from level one to level two is similar to the advancement of humans to a higher level, and there are dangers involved.

But when the monster possesses a powerful bloodline, the risk of such promotion will be greatly reduced, which is the same as for human cultivators.

For example, if a human cultivator has a natural spiritual root, he does not even have to consider the matter of the foundation-building pill when he advances from the Qi training stage to the foundation-building stage. As long as he has accumulated enough, he can reach the foundation-building stage without worrying about the risk of failure.

The four-legged beast with the blood of the third-late stage dragon beast has, to some extent, greatly reduced the difficulty of advancing from the first stage to the second stage.

Most importantly, since the day he was born, Sizu has only eaten the energy essence of the elixir produced by the Dragon Heart Space's devouring of the 'Beast Spirit Pill', which has prevented Sizu from being contaminated by any acquired factors.

The energy within the quadruped's body is extremely pure, and it almost eliminates all physical problems during the promotion process.

Li Zhen sent a message of encouragement to the four-legged creature through soul connection.

After receiving his encouragement, Sizu felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and instantly felt relaxed both physically and mentally.

Inside the quadruped, energy continuously flushed through every part of its body, and the bottleneck of the second stage became extremely fragile under this repeated flushing.

Finally, after another energy flush, the sound of river currents could be heard inside the four-legged creature's body, and its aura suddenly increased.

The four-legged creature let out a happy cry, and its body made strange sounds as its breath increased. Its body could be seen growing larger in circles with the naked eye.

"It's promoted to the second level already!" Li Zhen couldn't help but exclaimed.

He saw with his own eyes the horror of talent. It didn't take long for the four-legged creature to grow from a monster egg to the second level.

Although the energy essence of the elixir produced by the Dragon Heart Space played a huge role, the four-legged creature's talent was more important in enabling it to be promoted to the second level so quickly.

Without sufficient talent to support it, even with a constant supply of elixir energy essence, it would be impossible to get through the bottleneck.

Li Zhen thought about his efficiency in absorbing the energy essence of the elixir, and then looked at the absorption efficiency of the four-legged creature. If the four-legged creature's spiritual root talent was quantified according to human standards, it would probably be an earth spiritual root talent.

In addition, dragon beasts are naturally favored by heaven and earth, which is why their energy absorption speed is so amazing.

However, for now, he could no longer allow the four-legged creature to increase its strength, because he felt that his spirit was already straining.

Snow White and Four-legged Creatures are both his spiritual pets, and their contracts exist in his soul.

Generally speaking, a Qi-cultivating cultivator can only contract one spirit beast at most. Only if his soul is stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator can he contract two spirit beasts.

But when both spirit beasts had the strength of the second stage, it added a considerable burden to his soul. It was only because he had made some progress in practicing the 'Butterfly Transformation Technique' that his soul did not have any problems.

He couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought of this. He hadn't learned this kind of knowledge in school. Who would have thought that a freshman would have two second-level spirit pets? Not to mention freshmen, even among graduating students, it was extremely rare to own two second-level spirit pets at a time.

Li Zhen looked at the time. This time his practice was interrupted by Four-legged's breakthrough. There were still nearly ten hours before his class started.

He thought about it and activated his spatial ability, returning to the Fortune Pavilion in the ancient world of cultivation. During this period of time, apart from handing in top-grade talismans, he was almost always in seclusion.

I don't want to practice anymore today, so I'll take this opportunity to go to Hanmei Market. He walked out of his room and passed through the lobby of the Caiqi Pavilion shop. People in the shop took the initiative to nod and greet him.

He smiled in response and came out to the street.

The streets were extremely busy and he saw many unfamiliar monks.

"Is Caiqi Pavilion still hiring employees? I have experience in handling medicinal materials. All I need is a place to eat and stay!" A cultivator approached the employee at the door of Caiqi Pavilion and pleaded.

"Go away, go away. Caiqi Pavilion will not recruit people with unknown origins!" the waiter waved his hand impatiently.

The monk lowered his head in disappointment and walked towards the next shop.

"What's going on? Why are there so many monks looking for work?" Li Zhen asked the waiter curiously.

"Qingming Li, things are not peaceful outside recently. Many families' businesses have been destroyed, and several distant markets have also been damaged. All the wandering cultivators from hundreds of miles around have come here!" The guy replied with a wry smile.

"Is it so messy?" Li Zhen did not expect it to be like this, he shook his head and said.

"I hope it won't affect the market town!" the waiter sighed.

Li Zhen knew the rules of Hanmei Market. There was nothing wrong with entering the market, but he could not spend the night here. If he wanted to spend the night, he must have the right to reside in the market.

Among all the nearby markets, Hanmei Market has the highest requirements for independent cultivators.

To make a living here, one's skills must be at an upper-middle level among casual cultivators, which eliminates the hopes of most casual cultivators.

When Li Zhen arrived at the exit of Hanmeifang City, he saw rows of shacks. These were the wandering cultivators who could not live in Hanmeifang City but did not want to leave.

Due to their large numbers, the market had no intention of driving them away even if they stayed outside the market.

Besides, no matter how poor a casual cultivator is, he can still increase the business of the market town.

Li Zhen walked through the middle of the shacks. He saw that the law enforcement monks from the market were collecting protection fees in the shacks. Any casual cultivator who disobeyed would be severely beaten.

He had no intention of asking any questions, but just walked away quietly.

Not to mention these independent cultivators, he himself is also dependent on others. If he does not have the ability to make talismans, his life will not be much better than those independent cultivators.

Today he walked out of the market town just to relax his body and mind.

In the past, he was worried about danger and did not dare to leave the market town easily, although he also knew that a cultivator in the middle stage of Qi training had a certain ability to protect himself outside the market town.

Unlike the danger he had imagined, when he walked outside the market town, all the wandering cultivators who saw him took the initiative to avoid him, and no one of them came forward to cause trouble for him.

He did not even think about it. Not to mention his aura of the seventh level of Qi training, just his identity as a guest of the Caiqi Pavilion meant that no cultivator in Hanmeifang City dared to provoke him.

Li Zhen wandered around for a while, but didn't go too far from the market.

Seeing the miserable lives of the wandering cultivators, he gradually lost interest in traveling.

"Brother Gu!" When he was about to return, he saw several monks coming towards him. He recognized Gu Jun among them and exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Zhun was also very surprised to see Li Zhen.

"Li Zhen, are you here to welcome me? I didn't inform my sister!" Gu Zhun reached out and patted Li Zhen's shoulder and said with a smile.

"I was just strolling around. How did you get here? Who are these people?" Li Zhen looked at the four monks beside Gu Jun and asked.

"They are my senior brothers. We came here on official business!" Gu Zhun lowered his voice, as if he didn't want others to hear.

He then introduced Li Zhen to his four senior brothers. When the four senior brothers heard that Li Zhen was a guest official of Caiqi Pavilion, they also politely introduced themselves.

"Come on, brothers, please go to the store first!" Li Zhen led the five people into the market.

Although he is not a disciple of Shifang Valley, given the relationship between Gu Siqi and Gu Zhun, he can still be called a senior brother.
