Chapter 211 Cleaning up Biling Island
Author Mo Yu Jing Feng is waiting for you with "A Mortal's Start: The Spirit Beast Mountain".
Thinking of the pair of level-six wind phoenixes, Luo Ming had already figured out how to use each part of their bodies.
The Wind Phoenix is a wind-type aberration. Its demon core, essence blood, and even primordial spirit are all very useful. Whether it is to let its spirit beast devour it or to use it for experiments in the Spirit Gathering Cauldron, it is a good choice.
After he discovered that the essence blood of the Xuan Turtle and the Azure Dragon could be fused, he kept experimenting with the essence blood of other two spirit beasts. However, he found that not all the essence blood of demon beasts could be fused, but rather it depended on the type of demon beast.
Just as reptiles find it difficult to fuse with the blood essence of beasts and birds, and this is related to the level and purity of the bloodline of the beast, he once thought of experimenting with fusing the blood essence of the Fat Sun Bird with the Wind Fox Beast to awaken its wind attribute bloodline. In the end, the experiment ended in failure.
If the Wind Phoenix's essence blood could be used to awaken the Wind-attribute bloodline in the Zhiyang Bird, the wind would aid the fire, thus significantly enhancing both the Zhiyang Bird's speed and the power of its flames.
However, he knew that the purer the bloodline of a demon beast, the greater its potential in the later stages. If the power of bloodlines could not complement each other, and the more numerous and mixed the bloodlines were, the more harmful it would be. This was why, even though he knew that the bloodlines of the Xuan Turtle and the Azure Dragon could be fused, he did not allow them to fuse at will.
Several days later, on the outskirts of a valley not far from the Phoenix Nest, a seemingly ordinary area of dense forest and scattered rocks had been secretly set up by Luo Ming with three layers of killing formations.
These three killing formations are the Five Elements Bewitching Formation, the Myriad Blades Demon-Locking Formation, and the Primordial Earth Formation that he purchased back then.
After setting up the formation, Luo Ming concealed the four spirit beasts—Azure Dragon, Black Tortoise, Fat Sun Bird, and Wind Fox Beast—at several key nodes in the core area of the formation, ready to unleash their power.
Luo Ming himself remained hidden in the center of the formation, completely concealing his aura. A small jade bottle appeared in his hand, its mouth sealed with a special talisman. He carefully peeled back a corner of the talisman, and a strange, almost odorless, pale green vapor, which had a deadly attraction to demonic beasts, slowly drifted out.
This is the essence of his treasured "Demon-Attracting Grass," which has an irresistible allure to almost all demonic beasts.
Under Luo Ming's precise control, the essence of the Demon-Attracting Grass transformed into several almost invisible wisps of green smoke, drifting gently towards the direction of the Wind Phoenix's Nest with the wind.
At first, there was no movement from the direction of the nest, and the two phoenixes seemed quite wary. But in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, two clear and melodious phoenix cries, filled with surprise and restlessness, rang out from the direction of the nest.
Immediately, a strong wind arose, and two huge azure figures soared into the sky. After circling briefly in the air, their sharp, lightning-like eyes locked onto the direction from which the aura was coming—the area where Luo Ming had set up his formation.
"Hey!"
Just as they rushed into the airspace above the dense forest and entered the array area—
"Buzz!"
The void trembled slightly, and five-colored light suddenly shone brightly. The surrounding scenery instantly distorted and changed. The originally clear dense forest and rocks disappeared, replaced by a vast fog and ever-changing phantoms of the five elements.
The two phoenixes froze, their eyes flashing with confusion and anger. Their speed decreased drastically, as if they were stuck in a quagmire.
"Activate the formation!" Luo Ming shouted in his heart, changing the hand seals.
Countless massive wind blades, sharp and gleaming with metallic cold light, appeared out of thin air and attacked the two wind phoenixes trapped in the formation from all directions, up, down, left, and right. This was the activation of the "Ten Thousand Blades Locking Demon Formation"!
At the same time, yellow light surged on the ground, and the heavy earth elemental power formed invisible shackles, wrapping around the claws and wings of the wind phoenix, further restricting its movement. This was the suppressing power of the "Primordial Earth Array".
Caught off guard, the two wind phoenixes were immediately put on the defensive. Although they were surrounded by swirling winds and their feathers were hard, and they desperately resisted and dodged the endless wind blades, the power of the formation was continuous and had a mind-altering effect that interfered with their judgment, leaving them exhausted and with streaks of blood appearing on their bodies.
The greatest advantage of wind-attribute birds is their speed. Once restricted by the formation, their strength is reduced by more than half. With the help of the formation, Luo Ming alone could easily kill these two demonic birds, not to mention the cooperation of four traitors from the demon realm.
In just a short while, the two Wind Phoenixes that had chased a late-stage Core Formation cultivator to their deaths were completely dismembered by Luo Ming, leaving no trace of their bodies.
Luo Ming smiled as he looked at the two demon cores brimming with spiritual energy in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Using the intentional to catch the unintentional, trapping and killing with an array, and then bullying the few with the many... my methods are really a bit unfair to demon beasts, and quite lacking in martial ethics."
But he quickly dismissed the idea. In the cultivation world, it's a dog-eat-dog world; there's no point in talking about "martial virtue." Achieving his goal and minimizing his own risks are the priorities.
Mingyue watched from afar with extreme shock and admiration. Those two powerful demonic beasts were wiped out in no time within the net set up by her master. When did she become so powerful?
"It'll be soon. Once Mingyue forms her core, she'll be just as powerful as Master." Mingyue thought to herself, a resolute look appearing on her face.
For the next few days, the entire Biling Island became Luo Ming's hunting ground for his spirit beasts. Only after killing the level seven wooden armor lizard that had burrowed underground and was fast asleep in the spirit stone mine did Luo Ming feel relieved.
That level seven wooden armored lizard seemed to have an ordinary bloodline. Normally, it would exhaust its potential after advancing to level four. However, thanks to the spirit stone mine below, its cultivation had already reached level seven. If given a few hundred more years, it might actually be able to forcefully advance to the level eight transformation stage by relying on the huge reserves of spirit stones here.
"Could it be that the spirit stone mine here was eventually discovered because the commotion caused by this beast advancing to level eight was too great, thus exposing the spirit stone mine?"
After putting away the demon core of the wooden armored lizard, Luo Ming looked at the spirit stone mine in front of him. The rich spiritual energy emanating from it made him involuntarily take a deep breath.
"As expected of a wood-attribute demon beast, its sensitivity to wood spirit energy is indeed keen."
His gaze swept over the stone wall beside the nest, where many high-grade spirit stone shells, now gray and devoid of spiritual energy, were embedded. Clearly, these were the result of the wooden-armored lizard absorbing and refining them. This mineral vein beneath its feet played a crucial role in enabling the beast to break through its racial limitations and reach level seven.
Now that this spirit stone vein is ownerless, it is natural that a virtuous person should take it.
When it comes to mining spirit stones, the more people the better. With a thought, Luo Ming summoned four spirit beasts: the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, the Fat Sun Bird, and the Wind Fox. Along with Mingyue and her Azure Winged Scorpion, who were waiting nearby, they all received clear instructions—to mine.
In an instant, the deep mine became "lively," with the four spirit beasts displaying their unique abilities. Although these stones had been soaked in rich spiritual energy for countless millennia, making them as hard as high-level magic artifacts, they were only slightly harder than ordinary stones in front of the five-level spirit beasts.
