Liu Ming forgot the time when he stayed in the Thousands Beast Pavilion.
Five days later, a black escape light flew out of the giant peak where the Sky Beast Mountain was located. It flashed and turned into a black figure floating in the air. It was Liu Ming.
His face seemed calm and indifferent, but there was a hint of uncontrollable excitement in his eyes. He waved his sleeve robe gently, and a white jade boat emerged.
Liu Ming flashed to the top, and with a "swoosh", he flew into the distance.
When he returned to the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range again, it was already more than a month later.
As soon as he stepped into the Thousands Spirit Mountain Range, he went to the Sect's market without stopping.
Half a day later, Liu Ming came to the Hall of All Things in the Sect again. After spending a lot of contribution points to exchange for some things, he immediately returned to the cave house in Fallen Serene Peak. After opening all the enchantments, he plunged into the secret room.
"Master, have you found out the origin of the golden egg?" Liu Ming sat cross-legged in the secret room, and Scorpion's voice came from the soul-recovering bag.
During his time in the Celestial Beast Mountain, he deliberately let the two spiritual pets sleep in the Soul-cultivating Bag for fear that they would attract the attention of the powerhouses of the Celestial Beast Mountain. It seemed that Scorpion 'er had woken up on her own.
"It's a worthwhile trip." Liu Ming replied calmly. He waved his sleeve robe, and there were a lot of materials on the ground.
Then he turned his palm over. Under a flash of golden light, the pale golden beast egg that looked like a three-crown golden rooster appeared.
Looking at the golden beast egg in his hand, he showed a hint of satisfaction on his face.
He had spent a lot of money this time. He spent a total of 30 million spirit stones in 5 days. After reading countless beastkin materials and illustrations in the Thousands Beast Pavilion, he finally found out in a dilapidated ancient book that this suspected dead egg was not the egg of the three-crown golden rooster, but the egg of an ancient beast, "Si Chen", which had long been extinct in the Middle Sky Continent.
The Si Chen was a strange beast of the world. It looked very similar to a rooster, but its body was much larger.
This beast was also one of the rare mutated beasts that could survive in both the Yin and Yang realms. Not only was a fully matured Count Dawn Beast the nemesis of all kinds of ghosts, but it also had the ability to traverse between Yin and Yang.
However, the requirements for the growth of this Wondrous Beast were too harsh. It had to simultaneously absorb Pure Yin Qi and the Yang World's Spiritual Qi in order to truly hatch and grow.
If this beast only absorbs Yin Qi and not Spiritual Qi, it will become a terrifying Yin Beast. Not only will it be cruel and bloodthirsty, it will not be able to appear during the day. On the other hand, if it only absorbs Spiritual Qi and not Yin Qi, it will become an ordinary Spiritual Beast and lose many of its innate abilities.
However, the Si Chen had long been extinct in the ancient times, so there was very little information about it. Only the Beast Taming Sect like the Heaven Beast Mountain would have some information about this beast.
According to the ancient book, the egg of the Si Chen Beast had almost no life fluctuations before it was hatched. It was easy to regard it as a dead egg, but there must be other reasons for such a precious beast egg to be casually thrown aside. However, this was not what Liu Ming needed to care about now.
What Liu Ming cared about was that if he could hatch this Si Chen Beast, its innate ability to restrain ghosts would definitely be a great help to his future cultivation, not to mention that he planned to enter the Evil Spirit Realm soon.
Coincidentally, at the end of the ancient book, it also recorded the secret technique on how to activate the Si Chen Egg. This was also the reason why Liu Ming left the Heaven Beast Mountain in such a hurry.
After taking a deep breath, Liu Ming flipped his hand and took out a small white jade bowl. He carefully placed the golden beast egg into the bowl.
Then, he picked up a jade bottle on the ground and poured some silver liquid into the jade bowl. A faint fishy smell immediately drifted in the secret room.
Liu Ming closed his eyes and carefully reviewed the refining process in his mind again. Then, he opened his eyes and spat out a pure Fa Li into the jade bowl.
With a soft "pu" sound, the silver liquid suddenly burst into a faint silver flame.
Liu Ming's expression was solemn. With a wave of his hand, a box of light yellow bone powder on the ground flew up and fused with the silver flame in a flash. Then, there was a grey Yin Stone that emitted traces of Yin Qi, followed by three spiritual grass stalks that were as thick as a thumb …
After adding a dozen or so materials in a row into the jade bowl, the silver flame in the bowl had already grown to a foot high and its color had gradually turned a faint gold.
Liu Ming's two hands formed a hand sign and shot out several hand signs in succession. Then, he pointed at the yellow light and let out a low shout.
The faint gold flame flashed wildly a few times and slowly shrank. Its color became brighter and brighter.
Under the licking of the faint gold flame, the golden beast egg began to slowly melt. The faint white markings on the egg's surface began to emit a faint light. The originally lifeless beast egg began to emit a faintly discernible aura of a living creature.
Liu Ming's face lit up and he inwardly sighed at the Heaven Beast Mountain's secret technique. He bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. Then, he waved his hand and shot out a hand sign.
This ball of blood essence spun around and gradually condensed into a bright red ancient glyph in the air.
He muttered an incantation and the glyph gradually solidified. Then, it slowly melted into the beast egg below.
Only then did Liu Ming's expression relax. His ten fingers moved like a wheel and shot out hand signs. He controlled the golden flame in the bowl and continued to envelop the golden beast egg.
According to the description of the secret technique, after the Spirit Restraining Glyph formed from a cultivator's blood essence was carved into the Count Dawn beast egg, it only needed to be refined for a day and a night before the Count Dawn egg's life force would be completely activated.
As time slowly passed, half a day later, the outer shell of the golden beast egg in the jade bowl had already taken on a gelatinous form. The life force it emitted was becoming increasingly dense.
Liu Ming's gaze never left the beast egg. Seeing this situation, his heart began to burn with excitement.
However, at this moment, the beast egg suddenly began to violently tremble. The light on its surface flickered chaotically and the life force within it became somewhat unstable.
Liu Ming's expression abruptly changed. His two hands repeatedly formed hand signs in an attempt to stabilize it.
However, the beast egg's trembling became more and more violent. Then, with a soft "pu chi" sound, the white markings on the surface of the beast egg suddenly lost all their light and softly melted.
The golden flame in the jade bowl suddenly dissipated and a green smoke came out. The beast egg emitted a strange smell. It was like the smell of fish, but also like the smell of musk. It was extremely strange.
Witnessing this scene, Liu Ming's expression suddenly became somewhat ashen. He immediately stared at the jade bowl in front of him.
The beast egg's mutation had occurred too quickly and he was completely unprepared. Moreover, his thoughts turned rapidly, but he could not figure out what exactly had gone wrong. However, it was obvious that the activation had failed.
At this moment, the Cultivating Soul Pouch on his waist suddenly moved. With a "sou" sound, a black gas rolled out and instantly enveloped the beast egg. Then, a crunching sound could be heard from within.
Liu Ming was immediately dumbfounded!
Within the black gas, the palm-sized White Bone Scorpion was impressively swallowing the Count Dawn egg in large mouthfuls. It quickly and easily swallowed the entire egg into its stomach.
"Scorpion!"
Liu Ming was naturally shocked and opened his mouth to call out. However, the White Bone Scorpion acted as if it did not hear him. After swallowing the Count Dawn egg, its body swayed a few times. Then, as if it was drunk, it slumped on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Liu Ming hurriedly released his Divine Sense to check the White Bone Scorpion's situation several times. After discovering that it really had fallen into a deep sleep and there were no other changes, he let out a slight sigh of relief.
"Master, what's going on with Sister Scorpion?" The other Cultivating Soul Pouch moved and Fei Er flew out in the form of a boy. He tilted his head and looked at the sleeping White Bone Scorpion in the bowl as he muttered.
"I'm not very clear either. It should be the aura released by the failed incubation of the beast egg. It should have stimulated some kind of nature of the Scorpion …" Liu Ming muttered to himself for a moment before making a guess.
"So that's how it is!" Fei Er heard this and let out a sigh of relief.
As a result, the Scorpion slept for three days and three nights. It was not until the morning of the fourth day that she directly transformed into a young girl and woke up.
Liu Ming had been cultivating in another secret room. After sensing the awakening aura of the Scorpion, he walked over quickly. As a result, when he saw the Scorpion, he couldn't help but blurt out,
"Scorpion, your forehead …"
Between the young girl's eyebrows, there was an unknown golden crown mark.
"Master, what's wrong with me? I feel like my brain is a little muddled … "The Scorpion touched her forehead with a puzzled look on her face.
"You swallowed the Count Dawn egg that I failed to incubate and have been sleeping for three days." Liu Ming said with a sigh of relief.
"I seem to vaguely remember … I smelled a strange smell, then my consciousness became blurred …" The Scorpion tried to recall, but it was obviously in vain.
While talking, Liu Ming carefully checked the body of the Scorpion with Divine Thought. Except for the golden crown mark on her forehead, there was no other special change.
The Scorpion herself didn't feel any abnormality in her body.
Liu Ming was puzzled, so he had to give up pursuing this matter for the time being.
After cleaning up the secret room, he put the Scorpion back into the spiritual beast bag around his waist and prepared to leave the cave house to visit Yin Jiuling.
Thinking about it, since the end of the trip to the upper realm ruins, he hadn't had the time to visit this master because of various trivial matters. He was a little ashamed in his heart.
After 15 minutes, in the main hall of the Fallen Serene Peak, Yin Jiuling, who was sitting on the main seat, looked at Liu Ming standing in front of him, but he said with an unusually gentle tone,
"Liu Ming, in this trip to the upper realm ruins, you have made great contributions. Not only did you win honor for the Fallen Serene Peak again, but the Sect also gave you the Heavenly Hell Ghost Tree that you brought out from the ruins yesterday. In this way, it is of great help to the cultivation of the Fallen Serene Peak disciples."
