Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 34 Chilong
As Qingniu continued to shuttle across the Li River, at a certain moment, it entered a deep underground undercurrent.

Continuously going deeper underground under the underground undercurrent.

In some places, the undercurrent was too narrow for one man and one cow to pass through, but the blue cow took Yi Dong directly into the mud and rocks and continued to shuttle.

Going around in circles for a long time.

Yi Dong was a little confused.

The Immortal Kingdom monitors the earth, but the deep underground is not within the monitoring range.

This is a world of cultivating immortals.

There is probably an underground world formed by huge caves.

Ten thousand years ago, there were countless powerful demons in the world.

Yi Dong just couldn't believe that there were no monsters underground.

Could it be that this green bull has contacted the demon clan and wants to join them, and wants to use Yi Dong as a token of his allegiance?

sloppy.

Thinking of this, Yi Dong couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He shouldn't have trusted this Qingniu.

But it's too late to return now.

The escape techniques of this world, at least the low-level ones, cannot easily incorporate the ability to travel through matter.

In other words, Yidong does not have the ability to move through the mud.

If he wanted to return to the ground, he would probably have to dig all the way up in a rather hard-core way, which was obviously not a project that could be completed in a short period of time.

Besides, today’s cultivators cannot use spiritual energy to replace food.

Either take pills or eat food to maintain the body's needs.

The stronger the cultivator, the more resistant they are to hunger. After all, ordinary people can drink water to stay alive, and it is normal for strong people to "eat air" to lock their blood. If they do not eat for a long time, they may starve to death even when they are trying to build their foundation.

After building the foundation, you probably won’t starve to death, because a Jindan strongman may eat soil and his more powerful "eating air" ability can absorb nutrients to maintain the body's needs.

Yi Dong is just a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. He has no food source and relies on drinking water and eating air. He may only survive for about a month before starving to death.

Yi Dong was thinking about various options.

"Moo!"

While shuttling, Qingniu let out a cry.

It seemed to convey the message to let Yi Dong feel at ease.

Hearing this, Yi Dong was not at ease, but he could only take things one step at a time.

Another half day passed.

Qingniu took Yidong for who knows how many tens of millions of kilometers underground.

The green ox emerged from the rock with Yi Dong.

Suddenly we came to a huge and bright place.

Before Yi Dong could see the environment clearly.

"Ouch!~"

A melodious and powerful voice was heard.

"Moo!"

The blue ox barked in response.

Oops!

It turned out that the beast Qingniu wanted to use Yi Dong as a token of his allegiance, so that he could join the remaining forces of the demon clan and avenge the pain he suffered when he was studied by him.

At this moment, a white and graceful monster with a strip-like shape flew in front of Qingniu and Yidong.

“Ahhh~”!
"Moo~"!
Looking at the monster that was more than ten meters long in front of him, Yi Dong recognized what it was at a glance.

“It’s actually a real dragon!”

In an instant, Yi Dong's body tensed up and he began to think about his last-ditch effort.

Ok?
It was seen that the Green Ox and the dragon did not fight directly.

Yi Dong calmed himself down and looked for a while.

"I see. This isn't a real dragon. It should be a subspecies of dragon, a Chilong with the blood of a real dragon."

Looking at the monster in front of him with horns like those of an ox instead of a deer, a tail not a fish tail but a forked fleshy tail, and a body proportioned like a short and strong lizard, Yi Dong recognized it as a Chilong.

The information about Chilong was seen at Lijiang Taoist Temple.

It is rumored that a Chilong is born in the Li River every ten thousand years. The Lijiang Taoist Temple has studied the specific principle for thousands of years, but still has no clear answer.

Among the monsters, there is a kind of creature that is naturally powerful, called the true spirit.

Theoretically speaking, a spiritual rabbit, a spiritual wild boar, or other ordinary beasts, after practicing, can become the strongest celestial demon in this world as long as they have various opportunities.

This theory is as difficult as a person with five spiritual roots having a chance to return to the void.

But true spirits are different. This kind of creature is born powerful. As long as they eat and sleep and meet the basic conditions for cultivation, they can probably become celestial demons after they reach adulthood.

The true spirit is an existence that is superior to any other race in the world.

A true dragon is one type of true spirit.

As for the Chilong, at most it possesses the blood of a true spirit, but it is basically impossible for it to become a celestial demon just by lying down.

However, this true spiritual bloodline may be stronger than most spiritual bodies among the human race. After it reaches adulthood, it will probably have the strength of a Nascent Soul.

It only takes about a thousand years for a Chilong to reach adulthood.

This kind of demon beast with true spirit bloodline is one of the most desired spirit beasts by cultivators, not to mention in chaotic times, even in today's fairyland.

"However, all the previous Chilongs were either taken away by the Lijiang Taoist Temple or captured by aristocratic families. How did this Chilong escape here?"

When Yi Dong thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at the green ox, thinking that it might be related to this ox.

Or perhaps this Chilong's innate magical power awakened early, or it was a power related to water escape.

By now, Yi Dong is no longer so anxious.

This Chilong is still in its juvenile stage, and no matter how strong it is, it is only at the peak of ancient cultivation.

He does not have.

However, he didn't understand why Qingniu brought him here?
Could it be that Qingniu has found a virtuous person and wants to escape?
Before running away, he gave himself a mount?
If that's the case, Yi Dong can accept it.

Although the Green Ox is an auspicious animal, Yi Dong is not satisfied with every aspect of it.

For example, if the external appearance is not good enough, riding a bull is always not as good as riding a dragon.

Moreover, in terms of bloodline descendants, they are even worse.

There is no separation between dragons and other animals. They can combine with anything.

Although it is basically impossible to obtain offspring from other true spirit bloodlines, hybrid species such as dragon horses, dragon cows, dragon rats, etc. can be raised on a large scale by themselves.

From now on, Zijin Mountain will no longer have to rely solely on growing spiritual medicines, but can also start the business of selling spiritual beasts.

However, there was a problem. He obviously would not contract a second spirit beast, let alone a Chilong, even if it was a real dragon with true spirit bloodline, he would have to think about it for a long time.

After all, without contracting a second spirit beast, he might still have a tiny hope of becoming a Dao Yuanying.

Although the probability is low, it is still a dream.

If you contract a second spirit beast, after its soul is polluted, there will be basically no hope.

After the Qingniu and Chilong roared and communicated for a while.

The Chilong was flying in front, and the Qingniu was carrying Yidong and flying forward in this underground space.

Yi Dong looked over.

There were many fluorescent plants growing on the rock wall. According to Yi Dong's knowledge, these plants should be a variant of the fluorescent mushroom.

After a while, Chilong brought Qingniu and Yidong to the edge of a large lake within the space.

The Chilong lay directly on the surface of the lake, floating up and down.

Qingniu brought Yidong to the ground.

Feel the spiritual energy in the air.

Yi Dong paused slightly. There was actually a spiritual vein under this lake.

Moreover, judging from the amount of spiritual energy that is escaping, it should be a spiritual vein above the second level.

However, no one expected that Qingniu and Chilong actually found additional spiritual veins underground, which were probably not recorded by the fairyland.

Yi Dong looked around.

There are some lotus flowers emitting white and green light on the lake.

Among these lotuses, the ones glowing white should be the Earth Heart Lotus.

The Earth Lotus Seed is extremely precious in times of chaos because it is one of the five main ingredients for making the golden elixir.

Not counting the first ten years of the budding period, it takes a hundred years to bloom, a hundred years to bear fruit, and another hundred years to harvest.

In times of chaos, only powerful forces can stably cultivate this third-level spiritual plant because the living environment of this spiritual plant is extremely harsh.

However, at this point in time, this kind of spiritual plant is not too expensive.

Today, cultivators have various formations that can create the growth environment needed by countless spiritual plants.

There are large tracts of third-level spiritual plants in many fairyland spiritual gardens and the spiritual lands of some aristocratic families.

This is also the reason why elixirs such as Foundation Building Pills and Golden Pills can be mass-produced in this era.

As for the lotus emitting green light, it is probably a variant of the Geochelone. Yi Dong is not sure about its specific medicinal effect without conducting experiments.

Looking around, there is a large area of Geochelone, perhaps a little over 300 plants, and less than 11 varieties of Geochelone.

A ground lotus with a lotus pod is worth about 200,000 spirit stones. If the lotus seeds can be harvested, they will be worth 250,000.

The earth lotus with the lotus in bloom is also worth eighty or ninety thousand.

Even if each earth lotus is calculated at 50,000 spirit stones

This piece of earth lotus is worth at least 15 million.

If we wait until the Earth Heart Lotus is fully mature, and each plant costs 250,000 spirit stones, that would be about 75 million spirit stones.

These thousand or so spirit stones are nothing.

After all, Yidong is no longer the same as before.

His current ability is stronger than most of the Taoist academy teachers, and he is still very capable in earning spirit stones.

Take Lijiang Taoist Temple for example. His daily income was as high as over 30,000 yuan and as low as 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

Ignoring the issues of the legality and stability of this income, it is not an exaggeration to say that he earns tens of millions a year.

If he were a little more unscrupulous, it's possible that his annual income would be one or two million more.

So he was not excited about this piece of earth lotus.

"This spiritual environment can actually grow so many Earth Heart Lotuses."

What excites Yi Dong is not the value of the Earth Lotus itself.

It’s the value of this environment.

As long as he studies this environment variable thoroughly.

Perhaps we can modify a new version of the Earth Lotus growth environment formation.

With this formation, even if he cannot pass it on to the Taoist temple to earn "patent" fees, when he improves his skills in the future and obtains more spiritual land, he will be able to grow Earth Core Lotus on a large scale.

It usually takes more than 200 years for a third-level spiritual plant to be harvested. This Earth Heart Lotus can be harvested once every 300 years or so, which is considered pretty good.

In this era, the best way to earn spirit stones is basically not to take risks or rely on chance, but technology.

"If you help me set up the formation, I will give you these spiritual plants."

At this time, a message from the divine consciousness sounded in Yi Dong's ears.

Yi Dong looked over.

The Chilong was staring at him with wide eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

The Green Ox is not helping you find a mount, but bringing you business.

"Moo!"

At this time, the green ox let out a cry.

Chilong nodded his big head and sent a voice message to Yidong:

"By the way, some of the spiritual stones from the sale of these spiritual plants will be given to you, the spiritual beast."

Yi Dong looked at Qing Niu.

He knew that this blue bull could also transmit sound.

However, Yi Dong still felt comfortable that the Green Ox was able to let Chilong convey its meaning.

Deep down, he was actually reluctant to communicate with a cow, even though the cow was nominally his spirit animal.

Generally speaking, he doesn't like spirit beasts that are too smart.

In his eyes, the role of the Green Ox is just a mount. Other than that, he has no expectations for the Green Ox.

A mount should just quietly carry you around, with no need for any verbal communication.

Obviously, this Qingniu knew Yi Dong.

If it kept chirping all day, Yidong might even sell it.

Even if this blue ox has the shortcoming of being smart, Yi Dong can still accept it as long as it doesn't show it.

Yi Dong could accept the deal with Chilong.

It just so happened that he needed to study the environment of the spiritual land, and setting up the formation was just a matter of convenience.
