It truly lives up to its reputation as an eighth-level demon beast.
After eating the flesh of the Nine-Tailed Blood Scorpion and meditating to absorb it, both Qi Yufei and Xi Ling'er broke through a level in their cultivation.
Qi Yufei's cultivation has broken through to the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
Xi Ling'er also broke through to the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.
In the world of cultivation, the higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the more difficult it becomes to break through to the next level.
Many Nascent Soul stage cultivators may spend one or two years without being able to break through to the next level.
Those who break through to the next level as quickly as Qi Yufei and Xi Ling'er are probably among the very few in the entire cultivation world.
Ling Mo was still meditating.
Xi Ling'er glanced at him and asked in confusion, "Why hasn't Third Senior Brother finished absorbing it yet?"
With the strength of the third senior brother, he should be able to absorb the nutrients faster than she and the fourth senior brother.
Why is there no sign of it ending?
Rong Zi was enjoying a large piece of meat when she heard Xi Ling'er's words and suddenly said something.
"He's about to break through."
Upon hearing this, the apprentices were all shocked.
"What?"
Qi Yufei stood up and circled around Ling Mo, asking incredulously, "Really?"
Third Senior Brother's current cultivation level is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
If he were to break through, wouldn't that mean he would be entering the Nascent Soul stage?
This is so sudden!
When ordinary cultivators break through to the Nascent Soul stage, they need to go into seclusion in advance, and they need to make a lot of preparations before they can officially start their attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Why are you so casual around the third senior brother?
Compared to the shock of his disciples, Rong Zi appeared much calmer.
She stuffed the last bite of meat into her mouth and let out a satisfied burp.
The flesh of an eighth-level demon beast is indeed different; Rong Zi could clearly feel the abundant spiritual power within her body.
She glanced at Ling Mo, who was still cultivating with his eyes closed, and nodded, saying, "It's true, but the flesh of the Nine-Tailed Blood Scorpion alone is not enough for him to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Ling Mo possesses a top-grade mutated ice spiritual root, requiring far more cultivation resources than ordinary cultivators to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
In addition, he cultivates both immortal and demonic arts, so in addition to spiritual energy, he also needs demonic energy.
Upon hearing this, the apprentices immediately panicked, "What should we do?"
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is a major event for cultivators.
If you can't break through the first time, it will become much more difficult to break through again in the future.
Rong Zi clapped his hands and replied, "Let's give him a hand."
"Huh?" Several disciples looked at Rong Zi in confusion.
How can we help?
Rong Zi did not explain to them.
Instead, he took out two portions of cooked meat and gave them to Qi Yufei and Xi Ling'er, along with a word of advice.
"These meats are for you. You can only eat a small piece every three days, understand? With your cultivation level, eating too much will be counterproductive."
After the two took the meat, Rong Zi turned to look at the black-feathered eagle that had been pretending to be an ostrich.
"Little eagle~"
Suddenly called out, the black-feathered eagle trembled in fright and timidly pointed at itself with its wing.
Rong Zi said, "That's right, it's you. Come here, I have a task to give you."
Black Feathered Eagle glanced at the Nine-Tailed Blood Scorpion meat in Qi Yufei and Xi Ling'er's hands, tensed up, and scurried over to Rong Zi like a lackey.
He seemed completely at her beck and call.
Rong Zi stretched out her hand towards it with satisfaction.
Upon seeing this, the black-feathered eagle immediately offered its bald head.
Rong Zi patted its head and said, "Good boy. I may be going into seclusion for a few days. During this time, you will protect me and prevent other demonic beasts from getting close to this place."
When the black-feathered eagle heard that Rong Zi was going into seclusion, its eyes lit up immediately.
If she goes into seclusion, then could it...?
Seemingly sensing the Black Feathered Eagle's thoughts, Rong Zi pointed to the remnants of the Nine-Tailed Blood Scorpion on the ground and said with a smile, "If you dare to run, it will be your role model."
Upon hearing this, the black-feathered eagle immediately lay down on its stomach.
They've completely become honest.
It certainly doesn't want to be skinned and chopped up, ultimately becoming food.
After giving instructions to the Black Feathered Eagle, Rong Zi was still not at ease, so she set up another formation around the area.
After she finished doing all this, she gave instructions to her apprentices.
"I need to help Ling Mo break through to the Nascent Soul stage. During this time, you should all cultivate diligently within this formation. We'll discuss everything after he successfully breaks through."
The group understood what Rong Zi meant and quickly nodded in agreement.
They saw Rong Zi sit cross-legged in front of Ling Mo, then take out several spirit storage beads and a large pile of magic crystals and arrange them on the ground.
After arranging everything, she began to silently recite the incantation to cast the spell.
As Rong Zi moved, a steady stream of energy was drawn from the spirit storage beads and magic crystals on the ground, and then directed directly towards Ling Mo.
Before long, Ling Mo was completely enveloped by both spiritual and demonic energies.
Yun Jing and the others knew that this was a crucial stage for Ling Mo's breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm, so they all consciously refrained from disturbing him.
They also went to the side, sat down cross-legged, and quietly began their cultivation.
Rong Zi chased the Black Feathered Eagle outside the formation to protect it.
Looking at the master and his disciples who were all sitting cross-legged and cultivating inside the formation, it circled the formation twice, somewhat conflicted.
If they launch a surprise attack now, what are their chances of winning?
The black-feathered eagle hesitated for a long time, but after looking at the remains of the nine-tailed blood scorpion, it still didn't have the guts to do anything.
