Ling Tian was not in a hurry to leave. It was so safe here that he could complete the planting of the Dragon-Slaying Vine with peace of mind. Moreover, the hot spring under the Bodhi tree was a rare place for tempering. Of course, he would not miss it. Now his magic armor technique was at the peak of the second level. Perhaps he could use this place to break through to the third level of the internal organs. If successful, his safety factor would be greatly improved.
"Brother Ling, you should concentrate on your cultivation first. I also want to go out for a while, hehe!"
Ling Tian knew what it meant by "shaking"; it was simply hunting human cultivators to advance in their realm. Ling Tian didn't feel much resentment towards this. They were all competing with the heavens, so who said humans could kill them but they couldn't kill them in return? As long as they didn't kill those they were close to, it was fine.
Three days passed in a flash, and Ling Tian had successfully connected more than two thousand roots, but there was still a long way to go. In order not to waste time, Ling Tian decided to temper his internal organs while connecting the roots. Both tasks required a lot of concentration and could not be sloppy. Ling Tian tried for several hours before he could barely achieve both.
A few days later, Ling Tian, now adept at multitasking, smiled. His internal organs were slowly improving, while his roots remained connected. Now, with both methods working together, the effect was noticeable. He even felt his cultivation speed increase slightly, perhaps due to being under the Bodhi tree.
That day, the Tongbi Three-Eyed Monkey returned injured. Ling Tian stopped practicing and asked in surprise, "Brother Monkey, have you encountered a strong enemy?"
"Well, I encountered a level eight triangular Chimang on the way, but luckily I escaped successfully."
Ling Tian was a little surprised. He was only slightly injured when he encountered the eighth-level Chimang and escaped. He also saw that this three-eyed monkey was extremely powerful.
"Oh, these are some pills I made. They are good for recovering from injuries. Also, this bottle of Soul-Nourishing Pill will be very beneficial for your cultivation. Tell me when you've used it up."
"Thanks!"
The three-eyed monkey took Lingtian's pills and swallowed two of them without thinking too much. Once they entered his stomach, the magical effect gave him a hint of surprise, and within a few hours, all his injuries had been healed.
"I didn't expect this medicine to be so effective. Thank you!"
Ling Tian was not surprised. This was an enhanced version of the Lingtian Pill that he had improved again. It could be used in the Jindan stage and even the Yuanying stage and had a certain therapeutic effect.
"Why should we discuss this? We are all in this together. Of course, I hope you recover quickly."
Although the two signed the contract based on their mutual interests, Ling Tian's actions gave the three-eyed monkey a bit more favorability.
Seven days passed in a blink of an eye. Ling Tian woke up from the sound of thunder. Looking at the three-eyed monkey in pain in the distance, and then at the thunderclouds above it, he knew that this was a sign of a breakthrough.
"Why so sudden?"
He didn't pay too much attention to it. It was better that the three-eyed monkey had a breakthrough, so he felt more at ease. A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm was a demon beast, but even cultivators in the Great Perfection Realm were unwilling to fight against it.
Fearing that the thunderbolt would damage the Bodhi Tree, Ling Tian decided to store it in the space first. Other rare spiritual medicines were also quickly sent into the space and planted. As for the hot spring, he did not collect it. As long as the hot spring existed, rare spiritual medicines would grow here in the future. He could not do anything extreme and had to leave a glimmer of hope.
The commotion here was so loud that it would definitely attract the attention of monsters and even human cultivators. After packing up, Ling Tian decided to retreat and hide far away. This would be beneficial to both him and it.
As Ling Tian expected, the breakthrough of the three-eyed monkey attracted the attention of dozens of monsters. Most of them were level six, and there were not many level seven. However, there was a level eight monster that was eyeing it covetously. It was the three-eyed monkey's mortal enemy, the triangular Chimang. It seemed that it was the highest-level monster in the area.
The three-eyed monkey naturally knew the demon beasts' intentions. Once they had survived the demon tribulation, their weakened state would put them in great danger. He immediately transmitted a message to Ling Tian through his contracted mind, "Brother Ling, once I've survived the thunder tribulation, I'll be weakened. These demon beasts are waiting for that moment to take advantage of me. So, I need you to protect me. Don't take me into your space. If I'm seen, all the demon beasts will go crazy."
"Understood. Don't worry about breaking through. Leave the rest to me."
Ling Tian secretly used the Dragon-Slaying Vine, extending it from the ground all the way to the bottom of the three-eyed monkey. Unexpectedly, he got a pleasant surprise. His spiritual sense actually extended to the end of the Dragon-Slaying Vine.
In the outside world, this distance of a thousand feet is simply a piece of cake, but it is not possible here. Now that his spiritual sense can extend along with the Dragon-Slaying Vine, this has greatly improved his safety factor. In order to confirm that it is correct, Ling Tian once again derived another Dragon-Slaying Vine leading to other directions. His spiritual sense extended without any hindrance. After confirming that it is feasible, Ling Tian was overjoyed.
"This dragon-killing vine is really good. If hundreds of them grow, why would we be afraid of these monsters?"
Ling Tian's idea was perfect, but after trying it, he could only sigh. For some reason, he could only derive two, and it was unknown whether he could derive more.
He didn't have too many regrets. These two could already increase his combat power several times. Of course, it wasn't possible now because the Dragon-Slaying Vine hadn't been fully planted and hadn't been tempered by the strange fire, so its power was greatly reduced.
At this moment, three thick black lightning bolts struck down, and the three-eyed monkey's locked third eye finally opened, and a strange black light shot out from it towards the lightning bolts.
"Etherealization!"
The lightning couldn't find its target, and this scene scared the monsters. The dark eyes of the triangular Chimang flashed with a hint of coldness. The three-eyed monkey posed a huge threat to it, and it could not be allowed to stay at all costs. In fact, they were more coveting the ability of its third eye, which was the ultimate goal.
Three more lightning bolts struck down. This time, the three-eyed monkey did not use the ability of the third eye. It was probably that it could not be used continuously or there were restrictions on its use. The powerful force of thunder and lightning fiercely hit the demon driver, and one blow blasted it so that its skin was torn and blood was dripping.
With a muffled groan, the three-eyed monkey looked up at the sky with a fierce gaze, and roared fearlessly, "Come on!"
Ling Tian in the distance was also sweating, but he was already prepared. This was the final blow.
Not only him, but also the monsters around him who were eyeing him covetously were prepared. This eighth-level triangular Chimang was also strange. It didn't even drive away the other monsters. I wonder what it was planning.
In a moment, the wind and clouds in the sky were stirred, and an even more terrifying demonic calamity of thunder descended instantly. It was thought that the three-eyed monkey would be seriously injured by this attack, but unexpectedly, its third eye opened again, and the air twisted. The power of the lightning was reduced by half, but the ability to twist disappeared at once, and the lightning struck it directly.
“Ah~”
With a painful roar, the bloody three-eyed monkey fell to the ground unconscious. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and a cloud of auspicious light shone on the three-eyed monkey's body. In just an instant, the blood stopped flowing. But at this time, the other monsters attacked instantly, and would not let it completely absorb the immortal energy sent down by the heaven.
