Two months later.

Inside the cave.

Li Zhiming already had long hair.

During this period, he did not leave the cave and kept practicing the Taiqing Heart Method.

【Taiqing Heart Method → ​​Getting Started】

A few big words flashed over Li Zhiming's head.

This also means that after two months of long practice, Li Zhiming finally mastered the Taiqing Heart Method.

"call……"

Li Zhiming opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

[Early fifth grade → Middle fifth grade]

Li Zhiming opened his palms, and powerful true energy slowly condensed.

After two full months, he finally got the hang of it.

At first, he thought that he would be able to master the Taiqing Heart Method and enter the entry stage in a month at most.

Now it seems that I was too confident at that time and underestimated the difficulty of practicing Taiqing Heart Method.

Immortal-level skills are indeed not something that ordinary people can practice.

[400 reinforcement points are required to upgrade Taiqing Heart Technique]

Li Zhiming's mind moved, and the number of strengthening points needed to upgrade the Taiqing Heart Method appeared before his eyes.

"Four hundred points. That's a huge sum of money."

Li Zhiming sighed and felt poor again.

Fortunately, there is still one month left before the Trial Road opens. Once he enters the Trial Road, he will be able to collect corpses without restraint.

However, there is a drawback to the Trial Road.

Those who entered were all disciples of Zhenyuan Sect. Most of them were below the sixth rank, and there were very few disciples above the sixth rank.

Those are the direct disciples of each peak, key protected persons, and they possess various life-saving methods.

Although the road of trials is full of dangers, as long as the disciples are cautious, their lives will not be in danger.

According to the rules of collecting corpses.

As one's realm improves, the rewards for collecting corpses become lower and lower.

If you want a richer reward, the corpse must have been strong enough when it was alive.

In terms of quality, the Road of Trial is far inferior to the Abyss Prison.

However, in terms of quantity, the Trial Road should be superior.

Li Zhiming's requirements were not high. He just wanted the corpses to be strengthened a little. No matter how much, it would be acceptable.

Since quality is not good, he relies on quantity to win!

Li Zhiming stood up and stretched his muscles a little.

After the Taiqing Heart Method entered the entry stage, his realm also rose rapidly and he entered the middle stage of the fifth level.

He could already clearly feel the resistance to his cultivation.

However, he did not care. As his realm improved, the speed of cultivation would only become slower and slower. This was basic common sense in cultivation.

"This stealth formation is really useful. For two months, no one has discovered my retreat. It is indeed a necessary formation for adventure training."

Li Zhiming waved his hand and the compass floated in front of him.

He put his fingers together and sent out a stream of vital energy at the compass, causing the compass to spin counterclockwise and the formation disappeared.

"You two can take a break now."

Li Zhiming stretched out his hand again and took back the two puppets that had been guarding the cave entrance.

"I wonder how the cub of the Sky Python Golden Tiger is doing?"

Li Zhiming took out the soul bottle and observed it carefully.

One third of the companion spirit golden milk in the spirit bottle was gone, as it was all absorbed by the Sky Python Golden Tiger cub.

At this time, the body of the Sky Python Golden Tiger was several times larger than before.

He has separated from the amniotic membrane and is truly born.

At this moment, it is lying in the golden ocean and swimming happily.

"Come out, little one."

Li Zhiming opened the bottle cork.

A golden light floated out, and a golden tiger cub, about the size of an adult civet cat, appeared in front of Li Zhiming.

The golden tiger cub looked at this new world, its amber eyes full of curiosity.

“It’s pretty cute.”

Li Zhiming squatted down and observed the cub of the Sky Python Golden Tiger.

The golden and smooth hair, amber eyes, and fur are so fluffy that you can't help but want to stroke them.

"It's only this small, but it's already a ninth-grade demon beast. It's worthy of its ancient bloodline."

Li Zhiming examined the body of the Heavenly Python Golden Tiger and couldn't help but sigh.

"Just call me Xiao Jin. From now on, if you follow me, you will be treated to delicious food and drinks."

"Oh~"

Xiao Jin looked at Li Zhiming with his big eyes, gently wagging his tail, with a very spiritual expression.

"It seems that he agreed. It's not in vain to feed so much golden milk to the companion spirit."

Li Zhiming smiled. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before Xiao Jin would grow into a great demon and become his powerful assistant.

Zhenyuan Sect allows disciples to raise spiritual pets as long as you have the ability to tame monsters.

Many of the elders in the sect and the senior masters of various factions have their own spirit pets or mounts.

Therefore, Li Zhiming was not worried that Xiao Jin would attract attention.

"You should get familiar with the environment first. I still have things to take care of."

Li Zhiming waved his hand.

Xiao Jin could understand what Li Zhiming said, but he couldn't speak human language.

Ancient bloodline like Xiao Jin's, when cultivated to the sixth level, can almost speak human language, and when cultivated to the fifth level, it can transform into a human form.

Of course, if he had the transformation pill or transformation grass, Xiao Jin could transform into a human form now.

However, with Xiao Jin's bloodline power, he can cultivate to the sixth level very quickly without the need for transformation grass.

Xiao Jin began to run around in the cave, getting familiar with this unknown world.

Li Zhiming sat cross-legged and stretched out his hands.

On the palm of the hand is the black rune.

The Heart-to-Heart Gu of Ji Ling'er, the witch of the Hehuan Sect.

He had just felt that the poisonous insect was about to hatch from the egg!

"I wonder if this Taiqing Heart Method can remove the Tongxin Gu in my body?"

Li Zhiming began to practice the Taiqing Heart Method with doubts.

Mysterious power surged out from the field and quickly flowed to his right hand.

The green light became brighter, and the pure power continuously impacted the black rune.

Li Zhiming frowned slightly, and he could clearly feel a burning sensation in the palm of his hand.

At the same time, he felt a sudden pain in his chest, and something came out of his heart!

"The Tongxin Gu has come out!"

Li Zhiming's face suddenly became solemn.

This witchcraft is really strange. The insect is actually hidden in his heart!

Li Zhiming's spiritual power sank into his body and he found a thumb-sized green worm emerging from the surface of his heart. The green worm looked like a butterfly larva, except that its eyes were golden.

"Come out to my father."

Li Zhiming continued to practice the Taiqing Heart Method, using the mysterious and pure power within it to continuously impact the runes on the palm of his hand, trying to force the poisonous insect out.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Zhiming suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his heart began to ache.

"No, this Tongxin Gu is so strange that it can actually sense danger. It has only hatched halfway, and the other half is hidden in my heart and won't come out. If I force it out, I'm afraid it will hurt my heart meridian."

Li Zhiming wiped the corner of his mouth and his expression gradually became solemn.

To put it bluntly, it's because your realm is not high enough and your ability to control power is not good enough.

If he could reach the third level, even if all the insect eggs were hidden in his heart, he would be able to peel them out.

"Although it didn't eliminate the Tongxin Gu, it at least proves that the Taiqing Heart Method can indeed restrain Gu magic."

"I can't eradicate the Tongxin Gu, but I can use the Taiqing Heart Method to suppress it so that it won't have much impact on my body."

Li Zhiming closed his eyes and continued to practice the Taiqing Heart Method, drawing a rune in the palm of his hand.
