C24 double breakthrough
At a col not far from the stream, Fang Mu and Fang Qin were seated cross-legged around it. Waves of spirit energy constantly rippled out from within their bodies.
Not far away, Qin Ming was playing with the little fox with his fingers, a smile on his face.
Liu Shou would occasionally use his eyes to size up Qin Ming, and estimate what Qin Ming's goal would be.
Many people said that Qin Ming was just a piece of trash, and even he himself knew that Qin Ming was a piece of trash who had dragged down the Qin family by himself.
Yesterday, it was even rumored that Qin Ming had barged into the danta, resulting in his soul receiving heavy injuries. His father, Qin Feng, had even entered the Scarlet Flame Prison for three months to atone for his son's sins.
No matter what, the current Qin Ming should not appear in the forest of demon beasts.
But as it turned out, not only did Qin Ming appear in the forest of beasts, he did not even see a single scratch. The sword qi that instantly killed the Fire Spirit Fox was incomparably terrifying, and it was even stronger than ordinary runes of the second step.
So Liu Shou was puzzled, could it be that the rumors were all wrong? This good-for-nothing's cultivation level wasn't low, but her talent in pill forging was really appalling?
Qin Ming did not care about Liu Shou's gaze, which looked at him from time to time. He did not have any interest in playing with children, as long as he was not provoked, Qin Ming would be happy.
On the other hand, the little guy in Qin Ming's arms piqued Qin Ming's interest by quite a bit.
The instant he sensed the little fellow, the dandanling in the Divine Hall cave violently trembled. It seemed to be fear — or to be more accurate, it felt a threat.
Qin Ming was absolutely sure that the only thing around him at that time was the little fox, this extraordinary little fellow.
To be able to make dandanling, this could be said to be the most noble and powerful thing in history, how extraordinary was it?
Therefore, Qin Ming chose this little fellow without hesitation. He didn't have the slightest bit of concern for Liu Shou's Fire Spirit Fruit.
It was only an ordinary spiritual herb, and was only useful to cultivators in the Spirit Channeling realm.
His current cultivation level was at the peak of the Netherpassage Realm, and he could even go beyond the realm of the Origin of Heaven Realm. At that time, his strength would be enough to reach the level of an expert in the entire Thunderfire Prefecture, so how could he value such an ordinary herb?
"Here, try this." After playing with the little guy in his arms for a while, Qin Ming took out a white jade bottle from his Qiankun bag and poured out a pellet.
Qin Ming carefully placed the Spirit Gathering Pill next to the little fox's mouth. Seeing the little fox extend its claws and hug the pill, Qin Ming could smell it with his little nose, a smile on his face.
Swoosh.
The little fox suddenly pulled back its claws and pulled the pill into its bosom. It opened its mouth and bit the pill three times before swallowing it. Then, its body began to grow warm.
"Wuwu ~ Miaow ~"
Narrowing his eyes, the palm-sized little fox seemed to be drunk as it shook in Qin Ming's hands. It lightly rubbed its head on Qin Ming's palm, and then ran into Qin Ming's embrace to find a comfortable position to lie down, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
"Little guy." said helplessly as he gently patted the little fox who was unconscious in his arms.
"…"
Liu Shou watched dumbstruck as Qin Ming fed a Spirit Gathering Pellet to the little fox without even blinking his eyes. Then, the little fox finished eating it in three bites and went to sleep in Qin Ming's embrace.
The Spirit Gathering Pill is very valuable!
Outer court disciples only had one a month!
If the Spirit Gathering Pill was exchanged for medicinal materials, it would be enough for the outer sect disciples to cultivate for ten days to half a month.
Or had he just picked up a young demonic beast?
Because of four Spirit Gathering Pills, Fang Mu and Yue Yang dared to risk their lives. If they knew that you just casually fed a Spirit Gathering Pill to a beast that just came along, they would probably be so shocked that they would drop their teeth, right?
Even for him, paying four Spirit Gathering Pills was a pain in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that the value of the Spirit Gathering Pills was much higher than that of the other four, only a fool would be willing to use four Spirit Gathering Pills to tie down a Rank Two Demonic Beast.
Right at this moment, Fang Qin, who was in the distance, woke up from the chaos due to the waves of spirit energy.
The seventh level of Qi Condensation!
Fang Qin who had successfully broken through revealed a happy expression. After noticing Liu Shou's gaze, he slightly shifted his gaze back and placed it on Fang Mu.
If Fang Mu could break through, then the mission of stopping the Level 2 Demonic Beasts would be much easier.
After three breaths, a ray of spiritual light rose from Fang Mu's body. It extended to half a meter and after it was retracted, a wave of dense spiritual energy was spat out from Fang Mu's mouth.
"He broke through!"
Fang Mu gripped his right hand, while his face revealed undisguised joy.
His strength had originally been at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation. Now that he had successfully broken through to the Spirit Communication Realm with one of Liu Shou's Spirit Gathering Pills, his confidence in facing a second level beast had increased by a few points.
After all, it was just restraining him from killing him, so the danger level was much lower. It could be said that compared to the price he had to pay, the result was already worth the risk.
"Your luck is pretty good, but this is also good." Liu Shou said in surprise as he looked at Fang Mu.
Advancing from the Qi Condensation stage to the Spirit Realm was not a 100% success rate. Even with the help of the Spirit Gathering Pill, it was still possible to fail.
If they failed, they would fall to the eighth level of Qi Condensation, so many people would be cautious when breaking through. After all, it would take at least a few months to reach the Qi Condensation stage.
He just did not expect Fang Mu to be bold enough to make a breakthrough on the eve of facing a Rank 2 Demonic Beast.
If he succeeded, he would naturally have a better chance of winning. However, if he failed, he might be seriously injured, and the risk would greatly increase.
Not everyone had this kind of courage.
"Many thanks to Big Brother Liu Shou for the Spirit Gathering Pill, my chances of success have increased by a few more points." After making the breakthrough, Fang Mu's mood improved a lot as he cupped his fists and bowed to Liu Shou, and said seriously.
Previously, he was quite cautious when looking at Liu Shou, because he seemed to have other intentions towards his sister.
But now, the siblings had made a breakthrough with the help of Liu Shou's Spirit Gathering Pills, so they naturally no longer harbored any grudges towards him, and their attitude became more respectful as well.
"Since we've already succeeded, let's go." Glancing at Qin Ming who was seated cross-legged, Liu Shou stood up, took out the map and the star compass, and then pointed in a direction.
Behind him, Qin Ming, Fang Mu and Fang Qin, the two siblings, followed.
What was different from before was that Qin Ming, who was originally in the rear, had now become the middle, while Fang Mu and Fang Qin were now consciously behind Qin Ming.
Qin Ming used his strength to prove that he was not some trash from the rumors, and he naturally received a respect that Fang Mu himself did not even notice.
There was a difference between the treatment of the strong and the weak.
Along the way, perhaps it was because their bodies were tainted with the auras of Firecloud Fox, but there were no other traces of ferocious beasts or demonic beasts in the forest.
After walking for an unknown period of time, and until a valley appeared in the distance, Liu Shou's face revealed an unnoticeable joy, and he said excitedly: "We're here!"
