Following that, Shi Ling sat down cross-legged and started to recuperate. Although Shi Ling's mana storage capacity had indeed increased, it did not mean that his mana could be consumed endlessly. It also needed to be replenished.
From Shi Ling's body, spiritual energy crazily surged and poured into Shi Ling's body. Very soon, the Magic Source in Shi Ling's body emitted a dazzling light again.
When Bai Xiaosheng saw this, he did not disturb Shi Ling. He immediately turned around and flew to the side to protect him while paying attention to the movements in his surroundings.
However, Shi Ling, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, did not have the intention to get up. Bai Xiaosheng could not help but let out a bitter laugh as he thought in his heart, "Although the increase in the amount of Fa Li stored can make Shi Ling consume more Fa Li, if you want to replenish the Fa Li after exhaustion, you also need more time than before."
Thinking about this, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head helplessly. He was also helpless towards this. He couldn't change this kind of thing, so he waited on the spot again.
Finally, after another hour, Shi Ling slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the ground. At the same time, he smacked his lips and said: "Previously, I only needed about an hour to replenish my Fa Li. Now, the amount of Fa Li stored in my body has increased and actually needs over half an hour!"
As he said that, Shi Ling smiled bitterly again, while Bai Xiaosheng said on the side: "Stop acting like a good boy after getting lucky."
Shi Ling laughed strangely and looked up at the moon in the sky. It was still high up in the sky, so he said: "There's still a long time until daybreak. Why don't I refine a few more times of the Magic Source's reserve?"
As he said that, Shi Ling wanted to remove the Black Wood Sword from his back. However, Bai Xiaosheng said: "If you want to become a cripple, you can continue!"
Hearing this, Shi Ling cried out, and Bai Xiaosheng continued to speak: "Raising the Magic Source's reserve can only be done once every 24 hours, otherwise, the Magic Source will suffer damage, at that time, the Magic Source's reserve might decrease, and if it is serious, the Magic Source might even collapse!"
Shi Ling's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but whisper: "This … is it that serious?"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded his head in agreement. Shi Ling looked at the Black Wood Sword in his hands in disappointment, then looked at the color of the sky. He placed the Black Wood Sword back on his back, and then took out a piece of jade plate from his own Heart Ring and looked at it.
Bai Xiaosheng flew over and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
Shi Ling said: "This time, it's my task jade plate! "I've been out for so long, I almost forgot about the quest this time."
Bai Xiaosheng said, "It's already been so long, is there any use for you to complete the task?"
Shi Ling looked up at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "There is no set time limit here, so I can go back anytime I want to."
Bai Xiaosheng said, "Oh, then what is your mission this time?"
Shi Ling started looking at the jade plate again. As he looked, he said: "Capture a 500 year old Demonic Beast, Spiritual Baby Cat!"
Bai Xiaosheng seemed to be deep in thought after hearing that.
An hour later.
Carrying a fishing rod on his shoulder, and a dozen or so fish hanging from the pole, he walked on a remote path. As he walked, Shi Ling's gaze looked around him; at this moment, he was looking for the cave of the Spiritual Baby Cat.
According to Bai Xiaosheng's information, the Spiritual Baby Cat was a nocturnal species, it had a body of light yellow hair, and its overall appearance was no different from that of an ordinary cat. However, its speed was extremely fast, and within the same level, there were almost no Demonic Beast that could catch up to it.
It was not an exaggeration to say that even cultivator who had reached the small success stage of Bone Melting Stage would only be able to stare blankly when they met a Spiritual Baby Cat, as they would simply not be able to catch it.
However, it had a fatal weakness: it loved to eat fish. As long as it smelled fish, it would catch them regardless of anything. Otherwise, Shi Ling wouldn't be carrying dozens of fish in the middle of the night.
Shi Ling took out his previous quest jade plate and looked at it. It said that the Spiritual Baby Cat belonged to the more common species and could be seen a lot in the normal mountain forests. Its footprints covered almost the entire Hundred River County! Thus, theoretically, it shouldn't be difficult for Shi Ling to find them.
However, Shi Ling had already been walking in the dark forest for almost an hour, yet he didn't even see a shadow. This made Shi Ling feel like he was a headless fly.
Shi Ling said impatiently: "Bai Xiaosheng, is there really a Spiritual Baby Cat here?"
The next moment, Bai Xiaosheng's voice sounded in Shi Ling's heart, "Youngster, be patient. Don't you have an old saying? We won't be able to eat hot tofu in such a hurry! "
When Shi Ling heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and knew that Bai Xiaosheng was going to start lecturing again, so he simply ignored him and looked around. Then, he sat down on the ground and placed the fishing rod in his hand to the side.
Shi Ling was thinking, since I can't find those Spiritual Baby Cat, then I might as well use these fish to attract them. Anyway, the Spiritual Baby Cat is famous for its keen sense of smell, after the fragrance of the roasted fish spreads out, it's impossible for them to not smell it.
From time to time, he would sprinkle some of the seasonings onto the fish. Very quickly, the fragrance of the grilled fish reverberated, and Shi Ling directly swallowed his saliva after smelling it. Immediately, Shi Ling picked up a bunch of grilled fish, opened his mouth, and was about to bite down.
A soft sound suddenly came from behind Shi Ling. Perhaps it was an instinctive reaction, but Shi Ling subconsciously opened his eyes and turned around to look. But strangely, there was nothing behind him, only a pile of bushes still moving slightly.
Shi Ling scratched his head as he said to himself, "Did I hear wrong?"
As he said that, Shi Ling turned his head, wanting to eat the grilled fish in his hand. However, Shi Ling's eyes widened again, because he saw that the grilled fish in his hand was gone. Of course, it was not completely gone, but only a string of fish bones!
When Shi Ling saw this, his eyelids twitched. At this moment, Shi Ling actually felt as if he had gone mad.
Then, at the same time, a whistling sound came from above Shi Ling's head. Shi Ling's eyes opened and he suddenly raised his head. He looked up and saw a huge rock falling on his head.
When Shi Ling saw this, he threw a punch upwards. There was a loud bang and the huge rock was directly smashed apart by Shi Ling's punch.
However, when Shi Ling was done, he was shocked to find that all the grilled fish he roasted before had now turned into fish bones!
