Chapter 80 Teaching
He had secretly observed Luo Ming when he entered the formation, and felt that the other party was becoming increasingly difficult to see through. He was not confident that he could take him down. Moreover, their original goal was the goods of the Six-Linked Palace, but they encountered Tianfeng and could only hold back for the time being and wait for the storm to pass before making a move.
Another burly, black-clad cultivator retorted indignantly, "Boss, the four of us are all in the late Foundation Establishment stage, while you've already reached the Pseudo-Core stage and possess a combined attack technique. Even a Core Formation early-stage cultivator without protective magic can put up a fight. Are you really afraid of a mere late Foundation Establishment cultivator who just advanced?"
Boss Liu frowned slightly and said coldly, "Enough nonsense. The mission is the priority. It seems that there is something important mixed in with this batch of goods from the Six Palaces. If we ruin things, no one can bear the consequences..." Although the others were unwilling, they dared not disobey. They could only suppress their greed, close their eyes, and wait for the wind to subside.
Although Luo Ming did not know the specific content of their conversation, he could clearly sense the frequent fluctuations in their spiritual consciousness.
But he didn't care much. Once the storm passed, these people would leave on their own. As long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't bother to bother with them.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, the wind gradually weakened, and finally dissipated completely. After resting, Huang Song and the others bid farewell to Luo Ming and hurriedly left Lingbang Island.
"They're finally gone. Thankfully, nothing went wrong." Luo Ming looked in the direction the group had left and slowly breathed a sigh of relief. Last year, a cultivator had also taken refuge in the formation to avoid the Heavenly Wind, but the two couldn't let go of their old grudges and ended up fighting inside the formation. If he hadn't intervened and suppressed them, who knows what kind of mess they would have made of his Spirit Clam Island.
With so many Foundation Establishment cultivators coming to him seeking protection, he simply couldn't refuse—under the heavenly wind, cultivators would inevitably try to break the formation in order to survive, and then he would become their mortal enemy.
With so many high-level cultivators gathered together, even the slightest conflict could escalate into a bloody battle. It's quite remarkable that they were able to send everyone away safely this time.
"Come here, let me see how much you've improved."
Luo Ming called out to the outside of the formation, and the Wind Fox Beast immediately transformed into a shadow and rushed over, affectionately rubbing against his sleeve, its body still bearing the violent aura of the heavenly wind.
For his spirit beast, the Chaotic Star Sea was an excellent cultivation ground. The Wind Fox Beast had already advanced to the third level several years ago, and since it could cultivate in the Heavenly Wind, its progress had accelerated considerably. In addition, the Heavenly Wind tempered its body, making the Wind Fox Beast's attacks even more ferocious.
If it weren't for the fact that Tianfeng only cultivates twice a year, and each time for no more than three to five days, its cultivation speed would surely surpass all other spirit beasts.
Luo Ming had also considered following the wind and raising the Wind Fox Beast, but firstly, his own strength was still weak, the wind was full of dangers, and the wind would pass through many places. If it were to be snatched away by some high-level cultivator, he would have nowhere to turn.
Secondly, the Azure Dragon, the Black Tortoise, and the Fat Sun Bird are all unsuited to the Tianfeng environment, so we have to temporarily abandon this unrealistic idea.
Back in his cave, Luo Ming carefully examined the Wind Fox Beast's cultivation level, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face. After being tempered by the heavenly winds several times, the wind attribute aura around it had lost its former tranquility and gained a bit of the unique ferocity and sharpness of the heavenly winds. The level of spiritual energy condensation was also far superior to that of other demonic beasts of the same level.
Luo Ming's mind stirred, and the Wind Fox Beast immediately understood. Its claws blazed with a blue light, and several wind blades as thin as cicada wings shot out suddenly, so fast that even divine sense could hardly catch them.
With a few muffled "thuds," the wind blades pierced the hard stone walls of the cave, penetrating more than ten feet deep and leaving several smooth grooves.
"Great! Even an ordinary wind blade has the power of a top-tier magic weapon. This Heavenly Wind Tempering is indeed exceptionally effective." Luo Ming was overjoyed.
In the past eight years, he has not only broken through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, but his four spirit beasts have also made progress: the Wind Fox Beast and the Black Tortoise have already advanced to the third level, and the Fat Sun Bird broke through to the fourth level two months ago, even faster than its master. At present, it is stabilizing its cultivation in the spirit beast bag.
In the cultivation world, the higher the level, the slower the cultivation. However, with the help of the Spirit Gathering Cauldron, the advancement speed of his spirit beasts far exceeded the norm. Luo Ming even secretly guessed that this Spirit Gathering Cauldron might have been a treasure created specifically for nurturing spirit beasts.
Just as he was planning his next cultivation session, a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy suddenly came from outside the formation.
"I almost forgot about this girl." Luo Ming chuckled and raised his hand to open the array restriction.
He saw a little girl named Mingyue standing alone outside the formation, her eyes firm and bright. He remembered that this girl had parents and family, so it was somewhat unexpected that she came alone.
Luo Ming cut to the chase: "You possess a wind-attribute unique spiritual root, with exceptional talent. You should cultivate wind-attribute techniques to achieve twice the results with half the effort, but unfortunately, I do not have such techniques. Take this scroll, 'Spirit Control Technique,' and use it to solidify your foundation." With that, he handed over a thread-bound ancient book, which he had already translated into the Chaotic Star Sea script.
This "Spirit Control Technique" is his main cultivation method. In the past, in the Spirit Beast Mountain, it would have been a huge taboo to privately teach the core cultivation method of the sect. However, Luo Ming is now in the Chaotic Star Sea, so he naturally does not need to pay attention to these rules.
Moreover, he had some ideas. By spreading the Spirit Taming Technique in the Chaotic Star Sea, he was contributing to the development of the sect. Perhaps a powerful Beast Taming Sect would emerge in the Chaotic Star Sea a thousand years later, since this place was too suitable.
Mingyue happily accepted the ancient book. Seeing the three powerful characters "Spirit Control Technique" on the cover, she immediately curtsied and said in a clear voice, "Mingyue thanks Master!"
Luo Ming smiled and said, "He's quite the clever one."
He then smiled and said, "However, I will be busy with many trivial matters in the future and may not be able to teach you in detail, so I can't be considered your master. I am passing on the cultivation method to you today only because I don't want to see such good talent as yours go to waste. From now on, you can come to the cave once a month, and I will guide you through any doubts you may have in your cultivation."
Luo Ming explained the precautions for starting cultivation to the other party and then let her go back. This was just a whim of his, after all, it wouldn't cost him much effort, and given his future plans, having her follow him would only harm her.
His actions were like randomly scattering a seed; how that seed would grow was up to fate.
After settling Mingyue's affairs, Luo Ming resumed his cultivation.
He is now only one step away from forming his core. Only when he breaks through to the core stage will he truly have the power to protect himself in the Chaotic Star Sea. Only then can he confidently venture into those areas where high-level demonic beasts gather and resources are abundant, especially the Outer Star Sea.
The blood essence of high-level demonic beasts of level five or above in the outer star sea can help spirit beasts advance quickly, and the high-level demonic souls are even more beneficial to him: they can be used to refine stronger beast soul talismans, and they are also the best nourishment for the Thousand Demon Banner in his storage bag.
The Thousand Demon Banner has great potential, but it requires a large number of demon souls to contain it. The quantity and quality of these demon souls are factors that affect its power. Only high-level demon souls from the outer sea can support it to reach its strongest state.
As night deepened, the chaotic sea of stars fell into tranquility.
Only a few fishing boats returning late drifted slowly on the sea, the mortals on the island had long since fallen asleep, and only the cultivators' caves still emitted a few scattered spiritual lights.
The moment this tranquility was shattered, a blood-red figure burst through the air with astonishing speed, its spiritual energy in disarray, clearly indicating that it had been severely injured.
