A Mortal's Start in the Spirit Beast Mountain

Chapter 207 The Wonderful Uses of Spiritual Bodies

After listening to Tianjing Sanren's story, Luo Ming couldn't help but feel a little envious of his disciple for possessing such a rare spiritual body. However, he only felt a little envious and then stopped thinking about it.

In the world of cultivation, countless people of extraordinary talent have perished along the way. Due to the invasion of the demon race, ascension is extremely difficult in this world. No matter how good one's aptitude is, if one cannot ascend, one will ultimately just turn into a handful of dust.

Time flies by at high speed, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Mingyue's magical power had long since recovered, so she naturally took over the task of piloting the Wind-Piercing Shuttle and skillfully controlled this incredibly fast flying magic weapon.

Over the course of two months, Mingyue was initially somewhat reserved in the presence of this mysterious master, but as they spent more time together, she discovered that Luo Ming was not as rigid as she had imagined; on the contrary, he was quite interesting, which gradually allowed her to truly relax.

On this day, Mingyue was maneuvering the flying shuttle smoothly through the clouds, but a small part of her mind was sinking into her body, subconsciously circulating her magical power according to the basic methods of the "Spirit Control Technique".

This "Spirit Control Technique" was taught to her by Luo Ming in her early years. It is quite moderate and peaceful, and is especially suitable for laying a foundation. However, she always felt that some of the key points were difficult to grasp on her own.

In this regard, Luo Ming was naturally experienced, and with his higher level of understanding, he only needed to give a little guidance to correct some of the other party's minor mistakes, which saved the other party from taking some detours.

"Although this Spirit Control Technique has many merits, it is difficult for your physique to unleash its full potential. Do you know the true condition of your physique?" Luo Ming said to Mingyue with considerable regret.

"Constitution? Master, are you referring to Mingyue's wind-attribute spirit body?" Mingyue was not surprised at all after hearing Luo Ming's words, as if she already knew that her spirit body was special, and smiled gently.

"In fact, when she was building her foundation, Mingyue had already realized that her physique was unusual. Not only could she cultivate wind-attribute spells very quickly, but the power of wind-attribute spells was also much stronger than she had imagined."

"I originally thought of just finding a wind-attribute technique to cultivate, but I found that although these techniques are easy to cultivate, they lack many ways to protect oneself. Mingyue thinks they are far inferior to the Spirit Control Technique. Moreover, she also likes to use spirit beasts to fight, just like her master."

After Mingyue finished speaking, she looked at the Phoenix Egg beside her and revealed a hint of anticipation.

"You like to control spirit beasts? Do you know that the advancement speed of spirit beasts is much slower than that of cultivators? To catch up with the cultivation speed of cultivators, they consume a lot of resources." Upon hearing this, Luo Ming couldn't help but laugh and cry. He guessed that the reason why the other party had this hobby was probably due to the influence of the Wind Fox Beast back then.

"Hmm, Mingyue doesn't know why, but she really enjoys being with wind-attribute spirit beasts. She feels her cultivation speed has even increased. By the way, Master, guess how long it took Mingyue to raise this Azure-Winged Scorpion?"

Mingyue's eyes darted around, and with a pat on her spirit beast pouch, she summoned the Azure Winged Scorpion, which had almost fully recovered.

It was a giant, bluish-black scorpion, over ten feet long. Its carapace was like fine bluish-black jade, gleaming with a cool, lustrous sheen under the sunlight.

What is most striking are the two pairs of nearly transparent thin wings on its back, as thin as cicada wings, with clear veins, which, with a slight tremor, bring forth subtle yet pure wind spirit power. Its aura has already firmly reached the level of a fourth-level demon beast.

It lay quietly at Mingyue's feet, showing no hostility towards Luo Ming. It even tilted its head slightly, as if curiously observing its master's teacher.

Upon seeing the scorpion, Luo Ming understood immediately. This Azure-Winged Scorpion was indeed a rare wind-attribute demon beast, especially skilled in speed and stealthy attacks. Judging from the shape of its wings and the faint wind spirit aura flowing around it, in terms of long-distance flight alone, it was probably even better than the Wind Fox Beast of the same level, after all, it had the advantage of being in the air.

"This scorpion is well-cultivated," Luo Ming observed for a moment before speaking slowly. "Its aura is solid, and its foundation is stable. It seems you've put a lot of effort into it. Given the normal growth rate of a demonic beast, cultivating it from a level one larva to level four, even with ample resources, would take at least fifty years, wouldn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Mingyue could no longer hide her smug smile. She stretched out three slender fingers and waved them in front of Luo Ming, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy.

"Master, you're mistaken! Xiao Qing has gone from being born to reaching level four in less than thirty years! Moreover... Mingyue has never fed it any particularly precious pills. Most of the time, it absorbs and exhales the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, and it's just cultivating with me."

"Less than thirty years? Grown on its own?"

Upon hearing this, even Luo Ming, with his vast experience and knowledge, was shocked. This speed was almost comparable to the efficiency he achieved by using a large amount of spirit stones and demon beast resources to accelerate cultivation! This could not be explained by ordinary reasons.

Just then, from within the Xuan Yuan Pearl, the voice of Tianjing Sanren, carrying a hint of realization and inquiry, entered Luo Ming's sea of ​​consciousness: "Young Luo, it seems that your disciple's 'Xunfeng Body' is even more extraordinary than I previously thought."

This person has a natural affinity for the origin of wind. The primal energy she unconsciously draws upon during cultivation is probably the best 'elixir' and a sacred place for wind-attribute demonic beasts to cultivate. Being by their side for a long time can subtly purify their bloodline and accelerate their growth.

However, such spiritual entities are extremely rare. Throughout history, those with this constitution have either perished early or pursued top-tier wind-based cultivation techniques that directly lead to the Great Dao, focusing on rapid advancement in their own cultivation. Who has ever spent a long time painstakingly nurturing low-level demonic beasts to carefully observe this subtle effect? ​​It's normal that it hasn't been recorded in any ancient texts.

Tianjing Sanren's words were like the sun breaking through the clouds, instantly resolving Luo Ming's doubts. He immediately recalled how, back on Lingbang Island, his wind fox, which had always been disdainful of others, had shown unusual closeness and docility upon first meeting Mingyue. So that was the root of the problem!

"If the Wind Fox Beast were allowed to stay by Mingyue's side for a long time..."

Luo Ming's mind began to race. A thought quietly arose: with her physique's natural nourishing effect on wind-attribute spirit beasts, coupled with the Spirit Gathering Cauldron's ability to purify essence blood, wouldn't the Wind Fox Beast's growth and evolution speed reach an astonishing level?

This is not only a blessing for Mingyue, but also an immeasurable opportunity for the wind-attribute spirit beasts she possesses and those she may tame in the future!

Thinking of this, Luo Ming's gaze towards Mingyue held a deeper meaning and greater importance. This disciple might be far more valuable than he had originally estimated, and deserved more resources to nurture her.
