Chapter 433: Cultivation
In his arms, Zhizhi’s body stiffened.
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but wonder: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Then he looked at the few others.
"Chief, we didn't know it had always been like this for so long."
The others nodded in agreement.
“It doesn’t show us.”
"That's right, isn't it, there are no scales, hahahaha..."
When Xu Qiuqian noticed that Zhizhi's body stiffened even more after he said this.
"You don't have scales?" she asked aloud.
After a long squeak, he finally stammered, "It's grown."
"Let me see it."
Logically speaking, after such a long time, Zhizhi should have grown scales.
After saying that, he put Zhizhi down.
Zhizhi hesitated for a while, then took off the disguise ring. Xu Qiuqian saw Zhizhi's current appearance.
Most of its body is still flesh-pink skin, and there are only about twenty scales growing on it. Just looking at those twenty or so scales, you can see that they are very beautiful.
The scales are very emerald green, beautiful like gems. One can imagine that if all the scales grew out on the body, it would definitely be a very beautiful beast of destiny.
In the Tianyi Beast Tribe, when they are still young, they use the color and fluffiness of their fur to determine whether the cubs are healthy and beautiful.
When it reaches adulthood, the color and brightness of its scales are what we look at.
"Why are there only twenty or so pieces?" Xu Qiuqian frowned.
Before, she always thought that Zhizhi must have accidentally drunk some ripening drugs, which caused it to reach adulthood earlier than Banjie.
But I didn't expect that after more than a month, only twenty or so scales had grown on Zhizhi's body.
Yuanyuan and the others also looked puzzled.
"Yes, we grew scales in two or three days."
"Squeaky, why are you different from us?"
"Squeak, is there something wrong with you?"
Hearing this, Zhizhi couldn't stand it anymore.
"I'm fine!" it yelled. "I'm fine!"
The emotions are even too excited.
Yuanyuan and the others were shocked and didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian squatted down and gently stroked Zhizhi.
"Zhizhi, if you have any difficulties, just tell me. If you don't say anything, how can I help you?"
Tears welled up in Zhizhi's eyes.
"Master, I don't know why this happened. I don't know why my scales have only grown this much after such a long time. I wuwuwu..."
Beside him, Ban Jie suddenly said, "That's it."
Xu Qiuqian looked at Banjie.
"Half what are you talking about?"
Banjie shook his long, thin tail.
"The former clan leader once said that if we, the Destiny Beasts, want to reach adulthood earlier, in addition to training, we must stay around the Life Tree. If we are far away from the Life Tree, our scales will grow very slowly."
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
She didn't know there was such a saying.
Ban Jie continued, "And even if we are next to the Spirit Tree, the scales will not grow in a few days. It will take at least half a year. During this half year, our Tianyi Beast is at its most vulnerable. We cannot use our magical powers and need the protection of our clan.
If there is no Life Tree, if you don’t practice, and if the environment is not good, it is possible that the scales on your body will not grow completely for four to five years or even more than ten years. For us, the Life Tree is not only the mother soul that gave birth to us, but also can nourish us. "
"Then why did we grow scales in three days?"
Xu Qiuqian glanced at Yuanyuan.
Houfu, Yuanyuan, Xiaohei and Qingming, all of whom she rescued, were born under the Yi family's life tree, and were forced to take ripening drugs. When they grew scales, they were not even true adults, but the ripening drugs made their bodies enter a ripening state.
The magical powers of the Tianyi Beast, which has been ripened in this way, are very unstable. Perhaps this is why the Yi family chose to directly pull out the scales of the Tianyi Beast.
It is possible that Zhizhi accidentally took some ripening drugs before, which caused its body to start losing hair.
But there was only a tiny amount, so there was a good chance that the drug wasn't working.
If you want Zhizhi to grow scales quickly, firstly, Zhizhi must practice to adulthood as soon as possible, and secondly, you need a life tree.
There are also round ones.
Forced ripening would cause harm to the body, and they must be cultivated to the third level as soon as possible. In addition, there is the spirit tree.
Xu Qiuqian glanced at Houfu.
As the clan leader, she could feel that although Hou Fu's external injuries were gradually improving, his internal condition was very bad. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as being riddled with holes.
Using the blood of the divine bird Yi might be able to restore some of the body, but the safest way is still to rely on the nourishment of the living spirit tree.
After a moment's silence, Xu Qiuqian said, "How about this, you will practice with me from now on. After I achieve Dan, I will go to your former clan land in Banjie to see if the Life Spirit Tree can be transplanted. Then transplant the Life Spirit Tree here."
Ban Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Really?! Chief, can you really transplant the Spirit Tree here?"
"Of course, but you have to work hard too."
"Don't worry, Patriarch. I will definitely try my best!"
"Okay then, just practice well."
"Clan leader, come and practice with us, right here." Ban Jie said, "I remember when I was very young, the former clan leader would take us to practice together."
It looked at Xu Qiuqian with hope, and Zhizhi and Yuanyuan also looked at Xu Qiuqian with sparkling eyes.
Xu Qiuqian naturally would not refuse.
Anyway, for her, it doesn't matter where she practices. If she goes back to practice, she will practice in the space of the Hunling Jade Pendant. After all, the speed of time flow in the space is different from that outside, so she will have more time to practice.
Then just stay here and practice with them for a while.
Xu Qiuqian sat down cross-legged, and Zhizhi and the others crawled around Xu Qiuqian, lowered their heads and closed their eyes.
He looked almost like he was asleep, but the aura on his body was different.
Xu Qiuqian practiced the Earth Spirit Heart Sutra, and the earth spirit energy gently surrounded her and was absorbed into her body as she breathed in and out.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that this time's practice seemed different from before.
The speed at which spiritual energy is absorbed into the body seems to be much faster than before, and the speed at which it is converted into spiritual power and flows into the dantian has also become much faster.
What puzzled her even more was that she discovered that in addition to the earth spirit energy, there was actually other spirit energy trying to penetrate her body, although it was unsuccessful.
But at the moment she felt that her practice was very good and she was reluctant to stop to check the reason, so she didn't pay attention to it.
Generally speaking, spiritual beasts and demon beasts cannot practice cultivation.
Their cultivation is basically accumulated over time and improved slowly. They don't have any cultivation techniques. If they want to improve their cultivation suddenly, they can only use natural treasures with rich spiritual energy to improve their cultivation.
The practice of the Tianyi Beast is more like a kind of meditation.
"Hmm?"
Not far away, Huahua tilted her head as she watched the Tianyi beast surrounding Xu Qiuqian.
There was a look of confusion in its little eyes, as if it had seen something very surprising.
There will be more later
