Of course, this Beast Armor Tactics also had many drawbacks.
First of all, once the spiritual beast was refined into a beast armor, it would no longer absorb any spiritual energy from the outside world. Its survival and increase in strength were completely maintained by absorbing the spiritual power of its master.
Ordinary cultivators all attached great importance to their own cultivation. If they felt that their spiritual power was insufficient, how would they be willing to share their spiritual power with a spiritual beast just for a technique?
Secondly, this technique was also extremely harsh on the selection of spiritual beast. It must be sacrificial refined from a cub, and the cub must not resist during sacrificial refining. Only then could the sacrificial refining be completed.
Finally, the Spirit Beast he chose had to have a certain amount of potential. Once it matured, it would be astonishingly powerful. Only then would the Battle Armor be able to give the refiner a huge boost. Only then would it be necessary to cultivate this technique. Otherwise, randomly choosing a Spirit Beast would only be a waste of time.
Among these three conditions, the most difficult to achieve was the second point.
Because it was recorded in the ancient book that the whole sacrificial refining process would make the spiritual beast extremely painful. Even if it was a spiritual beast that had been kept as a spiritual pet, it would still resist because of the severe pain, which would cause the backlash of the technique and cause the death of the cub.
If one's luck was good, he might succeed once after sacrificial refining for 7 or 8 times. But every time the sacrificial refining failed, it would cause a lot of vitality damage to the caster. If he really failed 7 or 8 times, the caster would most likely fall 2 or 3 realms, and it would take a long time to make up for it.
It could be said that the cultivation of this technique itself was a choice that coexisted with risks and opportunities.
Therefore, the ancient book specifically stated that people without great perseverance could not practice it.
After reading it, Liu Ming couldn't help but feel excited.
He was originally considered as a physique cultivator. Under the transformation of Dark Bone Method and Tiger Dragon Hell Prison, his physical body was definitely far stronger than the average physique cultivator of the same level. If he had a powerful physique refinement technique for actual combat, his power would naturally be doubled when fighting against the enemy.
Moreover, this mystic art could even have the talent of the spiritual beast. No cultivator could resist this temptation.
As for the problem of spiritual power absorption, as long as he had a lot of elixirs, he naturally wouldn't care about this little spiritual power. The only thing he was worried about now was the fact that it would be extremely difficult to refine a cub successfully.
Even if it was him, he would definitely not be able to bear the consequences of losing his vitality seven or eight times in a row. This was enough to cause serious damage to his foundation.
"Cub …"
Liu Ming muttered to himself. After a long time of contemplation, his eyes suddenly brightened. With a flash of light, he took out a spirit beast bag from a corner of his spatial ring.
After a flash of pink light at the mouth of the bag, the eight-tentacled sea beastkin cub appeared in front of him.
Last time, he bought the qiongyu liquid in Zhen Yuan City, which greatly nourished this 8 tentacles sea beastkin. Now it had more than doubled in size, and the pink spirit patterns on its body had gradually become clear.
Liu Ming pressed his finger between the cub's eyebrows and muttered something. A moment later, his face was full of joy.
This beast still had no intelligence to speak of, only some remnant instincts left.
Previously, he was disappointed because of this, but now, this shortcoming seemed to be prepared for it.
If there was no consciousness, it meant that it would not resist the sacrificial refining process. In addition, this 8 tentacled sea beastkin was hatched from the egg of the Sea Creature Clan's holy beast. In terms of potential, it was naturally outstanding. Otherwise, it wouldn't be regarded as a holy beast by the Sea Creature Clan.
In this way, it was really suitable to use this cub to cultivate the Beast Armor Tactics.
After Liu Ming made up his mind, Liu Ming put away the 8 tentacled sea beastkin cub and immediately took action.
The dozens of materials listed on the demonic texts were all necessary for sacrificial refining of the spiritual beast. Some of them were even quite precious yin attribute spiritual materials.
The value of the materials on this list alone was about a million spirit stones.
Liu Ming immediately left the cave house and went to the market in the sect. He bought most of the materials he needed, but there were a few rare materials that he didn't buy. After that, he went to a place called Precious Hall and spent tens of thousands of contribution points to buy all the materials.
After he returned to the cave house, he immediately closed the door and activated all the enchantments. In this way, no one would disturb him during the sacrificial refining.
In the secret room, Liu Ming released the 8 tentacled sea beastkin cub from the spiritual beast bag. The pink cub floated in the air under the roll of a ray of light. Its 8 pink tentacles waved subconsciously.
Liu Ming made a gesture and dripped a drop of blood essence on the forehead of the cub. At the same time, he chanted, and his gestures changed quickly.
This was the incantation of the psychic technique. 8 tentacled sea beastkin had no intelligence, so it was easily taken in as his spiritual pet.
As the last black rune disappeared into the head of the 8 tentacled sea beastkin, the originally lazy 8 tentacled sea beastkin moved, and several tentacles wrapped around Liu Ming's arm.
Liu Ming moved his arm, and after a roll of black gas, he carefully placed the cub on the ground.
He then waved his hands continuously, and formation flags and disk arrays flew out one by one. They all flashed and landed on the ground of the secret room, forming several layers of arrays after a while.
Liu Ming then grabbed the air with one hand, and a silver rune brush immediately appeared in his hand. He then quickly drew at the cub in the formation.
An amazing scene appeared.
After the 8 tentacled sea beastkin flashed with silver light, faint silver patterns appeared out of thin air.
Liu Ming also didn't know much about these spirit patterns, so he was doing it according to the method recorded in the ancient book. After a full hour, it was finally completed.
At this moment, every inch of the cub was covered with dense spirit patterns. It looked very strange.
"Hey!"
Liu Ming shouted lightly, and 2 strange lights suddenly shot out from his eyes at the 8 tentacled sea beastkin. The beast's figure immediately stagnated, and its body became a little stiff. The tentacles that were still moving slightly before also slowly stopped moving.
Liu Ming suppressed the remaining instinct of the 8 tentacled sea beastkin by channeling his mental power with all his strength. The next step was the key step of sacrificial refining.
With a wave of his hand, he cast out a Dharma Art which landed on the ground. The Dharma Art immediately buzzed.
"Poof"!
A yellow light beam as thick as a bucket surged out from the array on the ground. As soon as it touched the enchantment in the cave house, it was blocked.
The next moment, countless yellow lights condensed into a yellow spirit cloud in mid-air, and it spread to the entire secret room in an instant.
Liu Ming's face was solemn, and he kept launching symbols at the yellow cloud in mid-air.
As his gestures changed, the yellow cloud suddenly began to spin, gradually forming a funnel-shaped spiritual vortex.
At the end of the vortex was the 8 tentacled sea beastkin cub. It was lying quietly on the ground, still looking ignorant and honest.
Seeing this scene, Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. He waved his sleeves in front of him, and a large number of spiritual materials of various colors suddenly appeared in front of him.
Liu Ming stretched out a white finger and pointed forward. With each point, a material flew into the vortex with a "swoosh".
At the same time, he opened his mouth and spouted a stream of pure magic power into the air, causing the spinning speed of the yellow spiritual energy vortex to become faster and faster. In just a moment, it had more than doubled its speed. It was like a bottomless pit, sucking in all the materials that were placed inside.
When the last spiritual material also flew in, the spiritual vortex suddenly tumbled violently.
Liu Ming's hands changed like a wheel. Dozens of light spots flew out of his fingertips and flashed into the vortex.
"Boom".
The spiritual vortex turned into a white spiritual flame, burning fiercely. In a whirlwind, it went into the 8 tentacled sea beastkin's body bit by bit.
Liu Ming's eyes stared at the 8 tentacled sea beastkin tightly. Fortunately, from the beginning to the end, the 8 tentacled cub seemed to be dead. It didn't move at all.
After the cub absorbed all the spiritual flames, its body immediately began to change. The spirit patterns on its body surface began to flash with a silver-white brilliance as if it suddenly came alive. It began to squirm gently again.
"Huu …"
After half an hour, Liu Ming let out a long sigh of relief. At this moment, the sacrificial refinement was finally basically successful.
With a thought in his mind, he flicked his finger slightly. A black light flashed out from his finger and landed on the 8 tentacles sea beastkin.
After the beast shuddered, there was a kind of intelligence in its eyes, which seemed to be very different from the original dull eyes. Then, its eight tentacles shook, and it jumped on Liu Ming's shoulder, making a yiyi ya ya sound.
With a thought, the spiritual power in Liu Ming's body began to circulate quickly according to the description of the Beast Armor Tactics. At the same time, the spiritual power in his body began to be continuously injected into the 8 tentacled sea beastkin on his shoulder.
A silver light lit up on the surface of the 8 tentacled sea beastkin, and it quickly spread into a silver bright light. At the same time, the silver bright light also burst out several fine black lights. The silver and black lights quickly shrouded him in it.
When the light quickly dimmed, a light silver simple leather armor suddenly appeared on Liu Ming's body. It stuck to his body as if he was born like this.
This armor could barely cover his chest, lower abdomen, neck, and other vital places on his body. The surface was faintly imprinted with some spirit patterns of the same color.
Liu Ming shook his neck, twisted his waist, and shook his hands and feet. There was nothing unnatural, and there was no feeling of pulling at all. It was as if his skin was natural.
He was overjoyed, then he pressed his fingers on the silver armor, and a soft force bounced back.
Liu Ming's eyes lit up. He flicked his fingers, and a green sword qi flashed out.
With a "bang", a layer of silver light appeared on the leather armor, and the sword qi immediately collapsed and disappeared.
