At night, on the path of the wilderness, one could see an illusionary yet not illusionary mist galloping.
Along with the surrounding environment changing, its color was also changing. Sometimes it was green, sometimes it was grey and yellow. If one was far away, one wouldn't be able to notice its presence.
If one got close, one could see a twenty foot tall male lion galloping swiftly.
Not only was there a mist wrapping around its body, but its body was also partially visible under the setting sun.
Zong Shou sat on the wide back of the lion, his eyes seemingly closed as he laid there comfortably, bathing in the last bit of sunlight.
Apart from that, there were two ropes behind the giant lion.
At the end of the ropes was Chu Xue, her face flushed red as she was chained to the back. The other was Little Gold, who was jumping around. However, most of the time it was being dragged into the air. Although his body was round, at this moment, he was making a very pitiful and uncomfortable 'expression'.
Chu Xue's eyes shone brightly as she looked pitifully at Zong Shou, nearly opening her mouth to beg.
Seeing that the teen lying on the lion's back seemed to have fallen asleep. Her eyes rolled as she jumped up and stepped on the tail of the rising moon lion.
However, before she was able to stabilize herself, she was struck by a white light. It was a stone that struck the back of Chu Xue's leg. Her body instantly felt numb as she fell off the lion's back once more. She almost fell, and she ran a few steps unsteadily before she stabilized herself. With a sad face, she said, "Young Master, Xue 'er has already run for half a day! Three hundred miles, she didn't stop for even a moment! Yesterday, she didn't rest at all. "
Zong Shou sighed slightly, as if he had just woken up from a dream and stretched his back.
The tiredness from the previous night had dissipated by quite a bit.
Before this, he felt that this lion wasn't suitable to be his protector beast. However, at this moment, he felt that it wasn't bad to have such a beast as a steed.
According to what he knew, Spirit Masters mostly chose Spirit Beast Spirits as their Protector Beasts. Firstly, they were easy to control and secondly, they were easy to nurture. As long as they had enough Yin Energy, Spirit Stones, and materials, they could quickly increase their ranks.
As for living beast type protector beasts, they were really rare.
Elite beasts had flesh and blood bodies and were often inconvenient to carry around. Their Qi and blood were strong, and they were resistant to the Soul Controlling Formation, which made it easy for them to suffer a backlash. The soul power consumed by a Spirit Master was several times that of a Spirit Beast, so it couldn't be sealed.
Raising one's combat strength was also the most difficult.
Even if Spirit Masters occasionally chose living Elite Beasts as their Protector Spirit Beasts, they would choose those with low Spiritual Intelligence or young beasts to nurture.
Xiao Jin belonged to the former category. In fact, this little guy's intelligence was not weak, but in the eyes of the world, octopuses were born with low intelligence.
If it was a cub, unless it was a high grade elite beast when it was born. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a good choice. From the first level to the ninth level, without thousands of years and countless spiritual herbs, it was impossible to achieve.
Like the Black Flood Dragon that Lingyun Long Ruo rode that day was an anomaly. It was said that from the initial Black Python to now close to transforming into a Dragon, it only took twenty years.
At this moment, although the Rising Moon Lion under him wasn't much, its comprehension was really good.
That day, he used his soul to drive the sword and only used the Rising Moon Sword Intent once. This lion had comprehended something, causing its bloodline to mutate and enter grade 4.
Not only was the Rising Moon Lion quick, but it was also good at stealth. Its combat strength during the day was enough to go up against same grade Peak Monster Beasts. If it was at night, it would be the king of beasts.
Only such a beast was good at hiding, moving swiftly and killing in one strike. It was an assassin in the night, but it wasn't as good as the current Xiao Jin.
However, it was barely suitable to be used as a mount. Although it couldn't fly, sleeping on its back was much more comfortable than a carriage.
Seeming to sense Zong Shou's thoughts, the Rising Moon Lion couldn't help but give out a sad cry, like it was mourning its fate of becoming a mount.
Zong Shou didn't care at all, just as he was about to enter meditation, he couldn't stand the gaze behind him that could pierce through him.
He said helplessly, "Stop staring, I am doing this for your own good. That Human Pinnacle Pill is really effective, it is the top Foundation Building Spiritual Pill for the Bodily Chakra level. Xue, you are also lucky, with the help of this pill and with me personally teaching you. Within three months, you can enter the Xiantian Realm! However, the effects of this pill are the hardest to digest. The longer you run, the better it is for you. Xiao Jin's situation is similar to yours. There is a good saying, a treasure sword is sharpened from grinding, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Without going through wind and rain, how can one see the rainbow … "
Chu Xue's expression was filled with rage, still unwilling to accept it. No matter how strong the Human Pinnacle Pill was, could it be stronger than the essence of the Lightning Phoenix egg?
Following which Zong Shou turned his head and looked back with a smile that wasn't a smile, "Of course, if Xue is willing to learn three sets of Energy Leading Techniques from me, you can memorize them all. You won't have to run so hard … "
Chu Xue's face instantly scrunched up, similar to a bitter gourd. Compared to the Energy Leading Technique that made one sleepy and soft, she would rather walk.
Zong Shou smiled, sending his spiritual sense into his soul ocean. Since that day when he swallowed the essence energy of the Lightning Phoenix, this was the first time he started to carefully inspect his soul.
"As expected, it is because of the mental source of the Lightning Phoenix …"
Only to see that the Thunderbolt talisman was already hanging in the center of the whirlpool. It had turned into a Luan bird that was spreading its wings and about to fly.
What was more shocking was that below the Luan bird was a seven-tailed spiritual fox. Between the two of them, there were signs of merging.
He didn't dare to use his spiritual sense to get close, but as long as he wanted to gather the surrounding lightning, the Luan bird would give off a light.
"Seven-tailed spiritual fox and Lightning Phoenix, illusion and lightning merging into one?"
Zong Shou smiled bitterly. These two types of powers didn't have any connection or merging.
He observed his entire soul ocean. At this moment, it was tens of times stronger than a few days ago, starting to show its scale. That whirlpool was also much bigger.
The problems that hadn't appeared before finally showed signs.
Only to see that for some reason, his soul was riddled with holes. There was only a layer protecting it outside.
His current situation was like a balloon that was sewn. His soul power could swell up, but once it reached a certain level, it would leak.
Apart from that, there was also his bloodline. At the core of his soul ocean, apart from the seven-tailed sky fox, there was also a certain bloodline mark.
At this moment, even if the former had signs of merging with the Lightning Phoenix mark, he still wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
"So the human race bloodline has a difference between the outside and the inside …"
Zong Shou had some comprehension. This was probably one of the reasons why Lingyun Long Ruo gave up on him. His soul was actually born with the problem of collapsing.
With his situation, if he didn't cultivate soul power it would be okay. The moment he did, even if his soul power cultivation stopped improving, in just a few days he would die.
However …
"Coincidentally, a Heaven Swallowing Energy Conversion Technique and a Lightning Phoenix egg actually solved this problem of mine. Should I say that this is luck or does the heavens want me to walk the path of a spirit master? "
