The Phantom Dragon was obviously too full, and it looked like it wouldn't be able to transform back into its small body in a short period of time.
With its size of fifteen meters, Li Shiming's computer room could not accommodate it.
Moreover, the Phantom Dragon is now absorbing the energy of the dragon-type spiritual pet and cannot move for the time being, so Li Shiming can only guard it.
Compared with signing the Phoenix spirit pet contract, the improvement of the Phantom Dragon is more important. Li Shiming does not want to affect the enhancement process of the Phantom Dragon's bloodline.
He had made up his mind that if the Phantom Dragon could not move for the next four days, he would stay here and wait to be sent out from the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts.
He sat beside the Phantom Dragon, whose body kept twisting, and the aura of the dragon blood in it was constantly strengthening.
Unlike the previous upgrade, this upgrade of the Phantom Dragon was not very painful.
In one day, two days, the bloodline of the Phantom Dragon was elevated to its peak, until there was no more change.
Li Shiming didn't know what level the dragon bloodline of the Phantom Dragon had reached. He planned to use the last two days after the Phantom Dragon woke up to find a phoenix-type spirit beast to contract with, which would be considered as an explanation to the phoenix lineage.
But something unexpected happened. The Phantom Dragon did not wake up. Its aura continued to increase and soon exceeded the peak of the third level.
In two days, the Phantom Dragon had already digested the dragon-type spiritual pet, which was a fourth-grade spiritual pet.
Although Chen Zhou's dragon-type spirit pet is at the early fourth-grade level, Chen Zhou has invested a lot of resources in it in order to allow it to accumulate energy for a breakthrough.
When the Phantom Dragon devoured the dragon-type spiritual pet, it not only devoured the dragon bloodline of the dragon-type spiritual pet, but also devoured all the energy of the dragon-type spiritual pet.
The bloodline of a dragon-type spirit pet is only slightly weaker than that of the Phantom Dragon. Both it and the Phantom Dragon belong to the level of dragons. The energy in the body of a dragon-type spirit pet does not need to be converted and can be absorbed for its own use by the Phantom Dragon's innate devouring ability.
The fourth-grade demon pill of the dragon-type spirit pet, as well as the large amount of resources and energy accumulated in its body, all became nourishment for the Phantom Dragon.
On the third day, the Phantom Dragon suddenly opened its eyes and let out a dragon roar towards the sky.
With the dragon's roar, its body flew up into the sky. As it twisted, its skin and scales began to fall off, and its aura increased again.
"Promoted to the fourth rank?" Li Shiming looked at the changes in the Phantom Dragon and couldn't help but mutter to himself with his mouth wide open.
The aura of the Phantom Dragon has reached the fourth level. In his perception, the demon elixir in the Phantom Dragon's body is sublimating.
The demon core of a fourth-grade spirit beast will not transform into a Nascent Soul, but its effect is not much different from that of a Nascent Soul, only different in form, and can also stimulate the Dharmakāya.
Unlike human cultivators who rely on techniques to advance from the Golden Core to the Nascent Soul stage, spirit beasts rely on the memories in their own blood and use their instincts to make the leap from the third to fourth grade.
The promotion process of the Phantom Dragon was so smooth that Li Shiming couldn't believe it. He watched the Phantom Dragon be promoted to the fourth level and waited for a while but the heavenly tribulation did not come.
"Will not being promoted to the fourth rank in the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts trigger a heavenly calamity?" He had some guesses. No cultivator had ever told him this knowledge.
But considering the incompleteness of the rules of heaven and earth in the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts, it is not strange that there is no heavenly tribulation when a third-grade student is promoted to the fourth-grade student.
This can also explain why there are so many fourth-grade spirit beasts in the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts. Without heavenly tribulations and with enough energy support, as long as the spirit beasts are talented enough, they can be promoted to the fourth grade step by step.
In the outside world, a large number of spiritual beasts, let alone the fourth grade, even if they want to be promoted to the third grade, they have to go through the baptism of heavenly tribulation. Only a small number of surviving spiritual beasts can be promoted.
What concerned Li Shiming the most was that when the Phantom Dragon shed its skin in the air, its four legs no longer had four claws, but five claws.
Chen Zhou's dream had always been realized unexpectedly in the Phantom Dragon.
After devouring the dragon bloodline of Chen Zhou's dragon-type spirit pet, the dragon bloodline of the Phantom Dragon was completed, and it finally reached the level of a five-clawed dragon.
The five-clawed dragon is the real dragon and the recognized dragon. The others that fall below this standard and possess dragon blood can only be called dragon beasts.
The Phantom Dragon released its own aura unscrupulously. The reason why its energy was promoted to the fourth level so quickly was because of the energy absorbed by its body.
Without the energy absorbed by the body, even if it were to be promoted to the fourth level after a period of time, it would not be possible to be promoted to a fourth-level five-clawed dragon.
It feels its own power and nobility and wants to express its emotions.
A soft sound was heard, which could be clearly heard even among the dragon roars of the Phantom Dragon.
The sound contained a hint of dissatisfaction towards the Phantom Dragon, as well as a hint of provocation.
Li Shiming was startled, his 'telepathy' and 'divine vision' were always on, even his spiritual consciousness was constantly paying attention to the surroundings.
They were afraid that some spirit beasts would come and affect the Phantom Dragon. The Phantom Dragon could not be disturbed whether it was in the process of devouring or the process of promotion.
The promotion process of the Phantom Dragon has reached the final stage. Although it looks very powerful now, it is just strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
It had just been promoted to a fourth-grade five-clawed dragon, and had not accumulated any energy in its body. If it really encountered the same fourth-grade spiritual beast, all it could use were its claws and bites.
Even the extremely poisonous Phantom Dragon cannot be produced due to insufficient energy.
After the Phantom Dragon was promoted to the fourth grade, its poison also became the fourth grade. However, in order to produce the fourth grade poison, it cannot be produced without a long period of nourishment.
Not to mention the other energy attacks of the Phantom Dragon, none of which can be used at the moment.
This is the same as when Li Shiming was promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. Without energy accumulation, one cannot exert combat power at that level.
The Phantom Dragon was provoked and became angry, and responded with a dragon roar in one direction.
Although it was angry, it did not lose its mind and fought even when it was weakest.
Based on the discovery of the Phantom Dragon, Li Shiming found the spirit beast that made the soft sound. The spirit beast was in a volcano hundreds of miles away.
The volcano continued to spew out magma, which carried an extremely strong energy reaction and covered the spiritual beast inside.
"Stop shouting, stay here!" Li Shiming gave an order to the Phantom Dragon.
He activated "A World Away" himself, and in a flash he appeared at the mouth of the volcano.
On a protruding rock inside the volcano, a red chicken-like spirit beast was proudly raising its head.
"Such a strong scent of Phoenix blood!" Li Shiming's eyes lit up. He felt the blood scent coming from the red chicken.
Only by getting so close can you feel the blood in the red chick's body.
Although the chick's appearance is a little ugly, the strong scent of the Phoenix bloodline represents the future potential of the red chick.
The chick was still young, but it already had such a strong scent of Phoenix blood. Li Shiming did not have more time to look for other Phoenix-type spirit beasts, so this red chick became his target.
"Little Chicken, do you like this?" Li Shiming took out a third-grade top-level spirit beast enhancement pill and raised it in his hand and said.
When the chick heard Li Shiming call it a chicken, anger flashed in its eyes, as if it was greatly insulted.
But after feeling the aura of the third-grade top-level spiritual beast Zengyuan Pill, its anger was suppressed.
As it is still in its infancy, its wisdom is not yet fully developed and it judges likes and dislikes based on instinct.
The scent from the third-grade top-grade Spirit Beast Zengyuan Pill let it know that it was the most delicious food, more delicious than any food it had ever eaten before.
Seeing the chicken looking hungry but melancholy, Li Shiming smiled and placed the third-grade top-level Spirit Beast Enhancement Pill at the mountain entrance, then stood five meters away.
The chick did not hesitate this time. It flapped its wings and came to the third-grade top-grade spirit beast Zengyuan Pill. It opened its mouth and swallowed it.
"Do you want to follow me? If you follow me, you will have plenty of this to eat!" Li Shiming took out another third-grade top-level spirit beast enhancement pill and said.
After tasting the flavor of the third-grade top-level spiritual beast Zengyuan Pill, the chicken's resistance became extremely low.
Although the Spirit Beast Enhancement Pill is only of the third grade, if one wants to refine the top-grade Spirit Beast Enhancement Pill, it would probably take a master alchemist a lifetime to refine one or two.
There is hardly one cultivator among a thousand who can enter the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts with a top-grade third-grade spirit beast enhancement pill, and their number will not be as large as Li Shiming's.
But the chick's pride still restrained its greed for the third-grade top-level Spirit Beast Enhancement Pill. It looked at the third-grade top-level Spirit Beast Enhancement Pill in Li Shiming's hand with some reluctance, turned around and prepared to return to the volcano.
Li Shiming saw that this was not going to work. If he let the chicken go, he would have to leave the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts in a day, and his trip to the Cave of Ten Thousand Beasts would have been in vain.
Thinking of this, he took out the eggshell fragment of the red-gold phoenix.
When he took out the eggshell fragment of the Red-Gold Phoenix, the chick's attitude changed drastically and it jumped to Li Shiming's side.
If Li Shiming had not reacted quickly and moved the fragments of the red-gold phoenix eggshell away, the egg might have been pecked away by the chick.
“If you want this, sign a contract with me. Not only will you get this, but also a lot of elixirs!” Li Shiming was like a bad uncle who kidnapped children, holding a fragment of the red-gold phoenix eggshell in one hand and five third-grade top-level spirit beast enhancement pills in the other.
The chick tilted its head, as if thinking.
The special environment of the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave is such that all the spirit beasts inside, as long as they are not attacked, will maintain a certain goodwill towards the cultivators holding the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's identity jade disc.
This is also the main reason why the monks of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect can find a suitable spirit pet in the Ten Thousand Beasts Cave in just ten days.
Otherwise, even for a young spirit beast, it would be extremely difficult to sign a contract.
Generally speaking, as long as you take out a spiritual object that is impressive enough to impress the spirit beast, you can sign a contract with it.
If Li Shiming only took out the third-grade top-level spirit beast enhancement pill, or only took out the eggshell fragments of the red-gold phoenix, the chick would not consider signing the contract, but the two huge forces working together made it hesitate.
Li Shiming kept smiling. He had tried it before, but his telepathy could not affect the chick.
But he could express his goodwill to the chick through telepathy. At the same time, he activated a contract pattern and waited for the chick to respond.
If you want to contract a spirit beast, unless the spirit beast is in the state of a spirit beast egg, you can forcibly use the contract pattern to sign the contract. Even if it is in the state of a spirit beast egg, some spirit beasts will have the will to resist.
As for the young spirit beasts, it is necessary to constantly wear down their will so that they will actively agree to the contract.
Never think of forcing it. Even if it is a young spirit beast, its resistance to coercion will be extremely fierce. Not only will it be impossible to sign a contract, it will also cause the young spirit beast to commit suicide.
However, young spirit beasts are very easy to deceive. As long as you cater to their preferences and find the right approach, you can successfully make a contract with them.
The most important thing is to cater to the animal's preferences, and to cater to the animal's preferences you need to have a deep understanding of the spirit beast.
Just like this time, the Nascent Soul cultivator from the Phoenix lineage asked Li Shiming to prepare a third-grade Spirit Beast Enhancement Pill with an additional spiritual medicine, which was specially prepared for the young spirit beasts of the Phoenix lineage to suit their taste.
The chick hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't hold back and flew towards the contract pattern, letting the contract pattern fly into its body.
Li Shiming used the secret contract method exclusive to the Phoenix lineage, and he sensed the soul of the chick.
To his surprise, the chicken's soul was not as weak as he had imagined. Instead, it had a sense of vastness, but most of its soul was sealed in some way.
Because the chick was too small, it was impossible to determine its race by observing its body, but Li Shiming knew that he had gotten a great bargain this time.
"Chirp!" After signing the contract, the chick immediately flew to his hand holding the fragment of the red-gold phoenix eggshell, and kept chirping at the fragment of the red-gold phoenix eggshell in his hand.
Li Shiming understood its request through the contract, which was to eat the fragments of the red-gold phoenix eggshell.
Since they have all become his spiritual pets, he will not be stingy.
He put the fragment of the red-gold phoenix eggshell to the chick's mouth, and the chick pecked it with joy.
"Crunch, crunch, crunch!" The fragments of the red-gold phoenix eggshell felt as crispy in the chick's mouth as if they were eating biscuits.
After the chick ate the fragments of the red-gold phoenix eggshell, the luster of its body became brighter.
It can be seen that the chick has gained a lot of benefits.
At this moment, the Phantom Dragon came to Li Shiming's side. Its actual age was not very old.
Although the Phantom Dragon is already a fourth-grade creature, it has only been a few decades since it was hatched.
This amount of time is only a very short period of time for spiritual beasts such as the Phantom Dragon, and normally it has not even completed its infancy.
The Phantom Dragon also became greedy when he saw the third-grade top-level Spirit Beast Zengyuan Pill. Although the third-grade top-level Spirit Beast Zengyuan Pill had the aura of the Phoenix, it was originally a food made for fourth-grade spirit beasts. All it had eaten before were third-grade high-level Spirit Beast Zengyuan Pills.
At this time, seeing the top-quality third-grade spirit beast enhancement pill, and with another spirit pet vying for favor, it naturally wanted to compete for it as well.
Li Shiming couldn't help but laugh, and put a third-grade top-level spirit beast enhancement pill into the mouth of the Phantom Dragon.
When the chick saw it, it immediately made a dissatisfied "chi chi" sound, and the Phantom Dragon also responded to the chick.
