Li Shiming walked into a building in the valley, where a space door had been opened.
He blessed himself with the 'Taiqing Black Turtle Technique', and a faint shadow of the Taiqing Black Turtle appeared on his body.
Although there is no danger in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he still has some concerns about the cave.
As he stepped into the space gate, his figure disappeared, and when he appeared again, he was already on a plain.
He only has ten days, after which he will be automatically sent out of the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts. During these ten days, he needs to find a suitable spirit pet.
He looked around. This space seemed to have no end in sight. It was a huge cave.
But in his perception, the environment of the cave was a little strange.
Just like the sky looks blue but there is not a single cloud, in his feeling, the sky seems fake.
He stretched out his hand, and there seemed to be something missing in the void. Now that he was in the Nascent Soul stage, he could probably guess that what was missing should be the rules of heaven and earth. The rules of heaven and earth here were not comprehensive.
This is normal, as the cave heaven was created by a great Mahayana master, who added his own understanding of the rules of heaven and earth into the cave heaven.
However, even the great Mahayana masters are not omnipotent and cannot comprehend all the rules of heaven and earth.
Although there are some other means to copy most of the rules of heaven and earth to the cave, there are still many missing rules of heaven and earth, making the inside of the cave less lively and energetic than the outside world.
Li Shiming tried to use the divine power of 'A world away from home', and to his satisfaction, 'A world away from home' could be used.
This allowed him to move faster in the cave and even have the ability to escape when in danger.
When he reached the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to use his 'A World Away', which allowed him to move much faster than other Nascent Soul cultivators of the same level. He was even confident that he could escape from a Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator.
He released his spiritual consciousness and activated the 'divine vision' and 'telepathy' at the same time.
Not far from him, a giant demon lizard was gnawing on the remains of some unknown spiritual beast.
Further away, a large demon deer was eating grass. It looked up and around every few bites, appearing to be very alert.
Li Shiming was secretly shocked. The range of his spiritual sense perception was three thousand meters. There were two big monsters within a radius of three thousand meters centered on him. This density was too terrifying.
He glanced at the grass on the ground and found that this grass was different from any spiritual grass he had ever seen, but the spiritual energy contained in it was very abundant, even comparable to the third-grade spiritual medicine.
But upon closer inspection, the spiritual energy contained in this spiritual herb does not have much spirituality and is fundamentally different from spiritual medicine.
Time was running out, he used the technique of "A World Away", took a step forward, and his figure appeared three thousand meters away. After scanning with his spiritual sense and finding nothing, he used the technique of "A World Away" again.
Not long after, he discovered a fourth-grade spiritual beast, a golden lion.
When he discovered the fourth-grade golden lion, the golden lion also discovered him.
However, the golden lion just glanced at him and then turned away, not paying much attention to the human monk who suddenly appeared.
Li Shiming was not too afraid of the golden lion. Although his spiritual power was not sufficient, with the combat power he could burst out in a short period of time, it was not a problem for him to deal with such an early fourth-grade lion.
This confidence comes from his thunder magic and heavenly thunder sword intent. Both attacks contain the power of heavenly thunder and are the nemesis of any living creature.
As long as the enemy is not much stronger than him, he can resolve the battle in a short time by using the power of heavenly thunder.
Since the golden lion ignored him, he didn't go looking for trouble with the golden lion.
Not to mention that this kind of adult spirit beast cannot be contracted at all, even if it can be contracted, he would not choose this kind of spirit beast.
His goal was very clear, and that was the Phoenix spirit pet.
For half a day, he had been using the "A World Away" to travel. What surprised him was that this cave was so huge that he had not explored its edge in half a day.
During this half day, he discovered three young spirit beasts.
This shows that it is very easy to contract a spiritual beast in the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts.
The quality of the spirit beasts in the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts is very high. Any young spirit beast has at least third-grade talent, and there are also many young spirit beasts with fourth-grade talent.
It is not impossible for a young spirit beast with third-grade talent to be trained to the fourth grade, it just requires more resources and is more difficult to advance.
The Wanshou Sect has conducted very in-depth research on spirit pets. Even if it is a spirit pet with first-grade talent, as long as you are willing to invest, you can upgrade it to the third grade.
Of course, almost no cultivator would do this, as the innate abilities of a first-grade spiritual pet are extremely weak, and it is not cost-effective to cultivate it to a high level.
The terrain ahead changed from a plain to a mountainous area.
This did not affect Li Shiming's speed. Whenever he stopped, he would use his spiritual sense to sense the surroundings to see if there was the target spirit beast.
After a day, the mountains turned into oceans, and there were more spiritual beasts in the sea.
These spiritual beasts feed on seaweed in the ocean. He discovered that except for the differences in growing environment and appearance, the intrinsic qualities of seaweed and the spiritual grass on land are almost identical.
He couldn't help but shake his head, thinking that Dongtian was being too perfunctory.
After such a long time, he also discovered some situations of the cave.
The Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts exists entirely for the spiritual beasts. Apart from facilitating the growth of the spiritual beasts, it has almost no other function.
Even though there is plenty of spiritual energy in the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts, he has checked and found that the soil in the cave is not suitable for growing spiritual plants. Even first-grade spiritual plants cannot survive in the cave.
The only thing that can grow is the spiritual grass, whether on land or in the ocean.
Herbivorous spirit beasts feed on spiritual herbs, while carnivorous spirit beasts feed on herbivorous spirit beasts. Spiritual herbs are almost endless, so there are a large number of herbivorous spirit beasts.
Carnivorous spirit beasts ensure that the number of herbivorous spirit beasts does not become too numerous, thus forming a balance.
In two days, Li Shiming did not encounter a satisfactory young spirit beast. He had a feeling that if he continued to search like this, he would not find anything even after ten days.
After some thought, he took out the eggshell fragment of the red-gold phoenix and the third-grade top-level spiritual beast enhancement pill he had refined and placed them in his hands, allowing the aura of the two spiritual objects to dissipate.
After several hours, he looked up at the sky and saw a big bird flying towards him in the air.
He sensed it and found that it was a third-grade spiritual beast with Phoenix blood, but its Phoenix blood was extremely thin.
Although this third-grade spirit beast did not meet the requirements, he saw hope.
He first collected the eggshell fragments of the scarlet-gold phoenix and the third-grade top-level spirit beast enhancement pill. The third-grade spirit beast could not sense the aura that attracted it and flew away.
He walked some distance and released the eggshell fragments of the scarlet-gold phoenix and the third-grade top-level spiritual beast again.
This trick was indeed useful. In the next few days, spirit beasts with Phoenix bloodline would come to him at regular intervals.
Among them there were also some young Phoenix-blooded spirit beasts. If they were other Nascent Soul cultivators, they would have probably already chosen one from among them.
Li Shiming was somewhat unwilling. It was not easy for him to get in once, so he had to choose the best one.
He had already made up his mind that if he couldn't find a suitable spirit pet in the last three days, he would choose a Phoenix-blooded young beast that he liked as his spirit pet.
Judging from the current situation, three days is definitely enough.
On the sixth day after he arrived at the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts, Li Shiming was on his way when he sensed the breath of a dragon-type spirit beast.
At the same time, he saw the dragon-type spirit beast and a Nascent Soul cultivator standing on the dragon-type spirit beast.
He was stunned. He didn't expect to meet a monk here.
The Nascent Soul cultivator showed joy on his face after seeing Li Shiming.
"Fellow Daoist, please stay!" the Nascent Soul cultivator said loudly.
Li Shiming thought that this was a fellow disciple, so he stood there waiting for him.
However, the words spoken by this Nascent Soul cultivator always made him feel a little uncomfortable. Generally speaking, saying "Fellow Daoist, please stay" is not a good thing.
"What's the matter?" Li Shiming looked at the spiritual pet that had almost turned into a dragon. Not only did this spiritual pet have extremely strong dragon blood, but it had also reached the early fourth grade. Thinking of the conflict between the Phoenix and Dragon families, he asked with a hint of caution.
Chen Zhou was very happy. After hearing that Li Shiming had entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts, he also spent a considerable price to enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts.
He has an extraordinary background. With his years of accumulation and the help of his elders, he was able to earn the opportunity to enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts.
However, he thought it was very cost-effective. If his dragon-type spirit pet was fused with Li Shiming's Phantom Dragon bloodline, his dragon-type spirit beast could be immediately upgraded to a four-clawed dragon, and it would not be impossible to even leap to a five-clawed dragon.
As for Li Shiming's fighting ability, he didn't take it seriously at all.
If he, a veteran cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage, cannot even deal with a cultivator who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage, then he has really lived a dog's life for all these years.
After he entered the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts, he used the aura of Li Shiming that he had obtained secretly and used a third-grade spirit-seeking rat to track Li Shiming.
But to his surprise, the third-grade soul-seeking rat could clearly track Li Shiming's breath, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not catch up with Li Shiming.
After many days, he was almost in despair, so he took out a life-saving talisman and fled in the direction of Li Shiming.
This is a huge waste. If Li Shiming changes direction midway, the life-saving talisman he used will be in vain.
However, Chen Zhou had spent so much money to enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts that he could no longer stop. In order to catch up with Li Shiming, he had no choice but to take a gamble.
He bet right, Li Shiming did not change direction.
The life-saving talisman he used was a magic escape talisman made by a great monk using fourth-grade top-grade spiritual jade, and it also sealed a trace of the rules mastered by the great monk.
Since the production of this kind of fourth-grade top-level spiritual jade escape talisman requires a great loss from the great monk himself, only a very small number of monks who have a close relationship with the great monk are qualified to possess it.
This is also the most precious means of preserving one's life, at least the strongest means of preserving one's life in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul. Only important cultivators from large sects and powerful forces can obtain it.
When Chen Zhou emerged from the escape technique, he found that he had surpassed Li Shiming and was ahead of Li Shiming.
He waited for a while before Li Shiming showed up.
"I have something I want to discuss with you. Why don't we sit down and talk?" Chen Zhou said as he approached Li Shiming with a smile.
"Fellow Daoist, we don't know each other, so I guess there's nothing to talk about!" Li Shiming shook his head and refused.
His telepathy could not sense the other party's thoughts. Either the other party had some kind of treasure that could isolate his mind, or the other party's spirit was extremely strong. No matter which one it was, it showed that the other party was not simple.
He did not dare to underestimate the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. The cultivation environment of the Dongqi Continent was far superior to that of the Beishu Continent. The cultivators of the large sects here were generally stronger than those of the large sects of the Beishu Continent.
He had seen the warehouse of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. As long as the Nascent Soul cultivators of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect worked hard, they could obtain very powerful magic weapons.
Although he has some strength, he has never fought with Nascent Soul cultivators from large sects. He also does not want to conflict with Nascent Soul cultivators from large sects when he has only entered the Nascent Soul stage for less than a year and his strength is not yet completely stable.
"I know where the Red-Gold Phoenix is. In recent years, a Red-Gold Phoenix is in a state of rebirth." Chen Zhou said in a deep voice.
He knew what Li Shiming's goal was in entering the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts. When it came to phoenix-type spiritual pets, the best one was naturally the red-gold phoenix.
He knew very well that Li Shiming must have some kind of escape method, and the speed of this escape method was extremely terrifying, otherwise he would not have been unable to catch up with Li Shiming.
Therefore, he needed to get close to Li Shiming to a certain distance in order to have a hope of keeping Li Shiming.
He only has one chance, and if he fails, it will be difficult to find another opportunity.
"What do you want?" Li Shiming was indeed tempted and wanted to listen first, regardless of whether it was true or not.
But he also understood that this kind of information would not be given to him for nothing, and the other party must have some requirements.
"I want ten drops of blood from your dragon pet!" Chen Zhou said as he approached Li Shiming.
Li Shiming's eyes fixed. He had just been doubting the other party's purpose. After hearing the other party mention the dragon-type spiritual pet Huanling Jiao, he finally understood the other party's purpose.
The other party wants the dragon bloodline of the Phantom Dragon. Looking at the other party's dragon pet, it is only slightly inferior to the dragon bloodline of the Phantom Dragon, and it is also of extremely high grade among dragon pets.
The reason why the Phantom Dragon has a strong dragon bloodline is that it obtained a piece of dragon vein source crystal. That piece of dragon vein source crystal was made from most of the bloodline of a four-clawed dragon.
Ten drops of blood essence are already a huge loss for the Phantom Dragon. Without ten drops of blood essence, it is likely to affect its own potential.
Even if the other party really wanted to trade, he would not trade the future potential of the Phantom Dragon.
His requirements for the Phoenix spirit pet were far from meeting the importance he attached to the Phantom Dragon. The Phantom Dragon grew up with him, accompanied him for many years, and they had a very deep affection for each other.
Besides, he didn't believe that the other party would only want ten drops of essence and blood. The other party had been trying to get closer, so it seemed that the other party's purpose was not simple.
