Li Ming repeatedly checked the black dog's pulse and examined its physical condition, but he couldn't figure out what had happened to its body. He only knew that it had trespassed into the forbidden area of the sacred mountain.
It and the other spirit beasts ventured into the forbidden area of the sacred mountain. All the spirit beasts died, leaving only it, which turned into this after it emerged.
As for what it experienced in the forbidden area of the sacred mountain, it cannot be deduced using the "Dragon Armor Divine Chapter".
One can imagine that the black dog must have experienced something terrifying.
However, its body was fine, and it did not feel any loss of soul.
The three souls and seven spirits remain.
Although it doesn't look very smart, the black dog is perfectly intelligent.
What exactly went wrong?
Li Ming pondered, several possibilities flashing through his mind, but he ultimately shook his head and denied them all.
"The Soul Nourishing Technique doesn't work on me, but I'll give it a try anyway, since it's pretty idle."
Li Ming beckoned the black dog, which was resting on the wooden bridge, over.
"Woof woof..." The black dog wagged its fluffy tail and swayed over to Li Ming.
"Close your eyes." Li Ming looked at it.
Upon hearing this, the black dog froze. Closing its eyes was an operation that would suffocate a dog. Why would he suddenly tell it to close its eyes? Was Li Ming finally going to make a move against it...?
I have a feeling that my chastity is in jeopardy.
no.
I fear not being crushed to pieces, but only wish to leave behind a pure reputation in the world.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Black Dog plans to confront Li Ming and vows to never submit.
Just as he was about to act, he saw Li Ming put on a dead fish-like expression and angrily say:
"Stop dawdling and close your eyes. I'm going to use my divine sense to transmit the immortal technique 'Soul Nourishing Technique' to you. Feel it carefully."
Li Ming originally wanted the black dog to learn on its own, but fearing it wouldn't understand the writing, he had no choice but to use his divine sense.
A few minutes later, the incantation and cultivation method of the Soul Nourishing Technique had been completely transmitted to the black dog's mind. As for whether it could cultivate it, that depended on its talent and comprehension.
To his surprise, the black dog actually sat down on the spot.
It sat cross-legged on the ground with its two hind legs, its two front paws forming a mudra, and its eyes closed, practicing hand seals like a human.
Soon, white smoke began to rise from the black dog's body, and fire spewed from its nostrils, as if it had entered a strange state.
The dog's two paws were stacked in front of it, and it was rhythmically alternating between the small and large circulations of energy. More and more white smoke was coming out of its body, and flames kept coming out of its nose.
It was extremely bizarre.
This was the first time Li Ming had ever seen the black dog like this.
It can breathe fire from its nose, is this still a dog?
But its bark clearly indicates it's a dog.
Li Ming couldn't understand it, so he rested his chin on his hand and stared at the scene.
The Yunmeng Sect already has few living beings; if something happens to the Black Dog, he will truly become all alone.
Two hours later, the black dog stopped cultivating, slowly exhaled, and suddenly spewed out a flame from its mouth.
It opened its eyes and found that its mouth and nose were spewing fire, and white smoke was rising from its body. It was startled and thought that Li Ming had set it on fire.
It jumped up and rolled on the ground. After rolling a few times, it didn't burn itself.
It stood up sheepishly, its face full of embarrassment.
Li Ming stared at it speechlessly, noticing its eyes. The black dog's eyes had changed; they used to look listless and languid, but now they had a glimmer of light.
"The Soul Nourishing Technique really works."
Li Ming frowned.
I can't understand it. The dog's soul is not damaged, so why is it useful? Where exactly is the problem?
He stepped forward, took the pulse again, and used his divine sense to examine the black dog's body and soul from all angles.
Its body seems to have been forged through countless hammer blows, like blacksmithing, with an extremely high density. This is something Li Ming discovered before, and it's also the reason why its body is so resilient.
Li Ming even had the illusion that the black dog had achieved physical sainthood.
He was only guessing.
Skip the physical body and examine its soul.
The Heavenly Soul, the Earthly Soul, and the Life Soul—the three souls reside within.
Tianchong, Linghui, Weiqi, Weili, Zhongshu, Weijing, Weiying, the seven souls remain.
The three souls and seven spirits are all present, and the soul is without any defects.
Since the soul is intact, why was the Black Dog able to make the "Soul Nourishing Technique" take effect so quickly?
Li Ming suddenly felt a headache coming on.
No one noticed the problem, inside or out, but it definitely had a problem.
Unable to pinpoint the root of the problem, Li Ming sighed, "Thinking about it won't help. Let's go to the library and look for some information."
He turned and walked back to his room, taking the Boundless Bowl with him. Because of the Black Emperor's arrival, the Boundless Bowl now had three bars of electricity, but he wasn't in a hurry to use it.
Now, he wants to solve the problem of the black dog.
He put the Boundless Bowl into the Sumeru Ring and went to the Library Pavilion, with the black dog following him.
Li Ming had already studied the books on the first to fifth floors of the library extensively, and there were no relevant records. Now, he mainly wanted to look at the books on the sixth floor of the library.
The sixth floor of the library was only opened in the last two years, because I'm so engrossed in practicing the Qi Refining Technique that I don't come here often.
The books on the sixth floor mostly contain descriptions of high-level immortal techniques.
He had plenty of high-level immortal techniques, all from rewards given by the dragon-patterned wooden plaques.
Now that the black dog has been practicing the "Soul Nourishing Technique," his condition has improved slightly. He plans to search around and perhaps find the root of the problem.
The black dog also imitated Li Ming, searching everywhere.
After searching for several hours without finding anything, both the man and the dog were very disappointed.
The sixth floor contained a wide variety of books, including Taoist immortal techniques, Mahayana Buddhist teachings, high-level demonic techniques, and demonic arts, among others. Despite the sheer number of books, I couldn't find anything useful.
They searched until the second day, but still couldn't find it.
Li Ming had no choice but to sit cross-legged on the ground and cultivate, intending to recuperate before making any further moves.
The black dog was the same, sitting cross-legged on the ground practicing the "Soul Nourishing Technique".
For the next two weeks, they searched the sixth floor of the library thoroughly, but were very disappointed and did not find what they were looking for.
"If it's not on the sixth floor, could it be on the seventh floor?"
Li Ming walked towards the seventh floor, pushed open the door, and found that the seventh-floor library was not yet unlocked.
We had no choice but to go down.
Seeing Li Ming come down looking disappointed, the black dog became very agitated. After searching for half a month without any results, it was so angry that it trembled all over and spewed flames from its mouth and nose.
Unexpectedly, the flames set fire to the book closest to it.
The black dog was startled.
I quickly opened my mouth to try and blow out the flames, but they only grew stronger.
Flames swirled and spread instantly, igniting a section of the bookshelf.
Li Ming was startled and quickly made a hand seal, intending to extinguish the flames.
Just then, a strange change occurred.
Starting with the bookshelf set ablaze by the black dog, the fire quickly spread, igniting layer upon layer of bookshelves.
In just a few seconds, the entire sixth-tier bookshelf was set ablaze.
Strangely, it was only the bookshelf that was set on fire, but it didn't seem to be set on fire at all. Instead, it was like layers of formations being stacked on top of each other.
Suddenly, a "click" sound was heard.
A mechanism pops up in the center of the sixth floor, and a round stone table slowly emerges.
