Chapter 248: Chapter 126: Is He Worthy of the Saintess? Strengthening as Mightily as a Tiger Grows Wings_3
Lin Xuankong smiled and said, "So it seems the Demon Prison Cage that can suppress Demons and the Spirit Puppet Technique are quite a complementary pair of Abnormal Techniques!"
"A complementary pair of Abnormal Techniques?" A trace of confusion flickered in Xiaoo Ying’Er’s bright eyes.
Another Otherworld naïve girl who can’t catch my drift!
Lin Xuankong sighed softly. "Princess, you should focus on the Secret Manual for the Demon Prison Cage. I’ll be cultivating the Spirit Puppet Technique here for the next few days. After that, we might not have much time to exchange insights!"
After speaking, he looked at his Life Plate.
[Third Spirit Puppet Technique: Entry Level 1/900]
In the next moment, the four words "Vigorous in Old Age" shimmered with a faint purple-golden glow.
[Third Spirit Puppet Technique: Entry Level 1/15]
...
「In the blink of an eye,」
Twenty-odd days had passed.
On this particular day, Lin Xuankong, having just finished his Cultivation in a cave on the hillside, sensed that the Runes within the Rune Thunder in his body had become even more intricate. He couldn’t help but look at his Life Plate.
[Realm: Transcendence Fifth Layer Late Stage]
[Yin Talisman Technique: Returning to the Essence 302/450]
[Pine Crane Longevity Technique: Attained Minor Success 388/500]
[Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique: Attained Minor Success 301/450]
[Eight Gates Celestial Eye: Fifth Layer 190/200]
[True Qi: 448,989/500,000]
[Fierce Tiger Roar Bone Technique: Attained Minor Success 172/240]
[Blood Eating Technique: Attained Minor Success 210/240]
[Blood-Burning Secret Technique: Attained Minor Success 119/240]
[Divine Protection Elixir: Top-grade Pill Technique 82/160]
[Heart Thought: Mortal Tier Seventh Grade 1/160]
[Third Spirit Puppet Technique: Entering the Hall 2/160]
A sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart. After twenty-odd days of Cultivation, all his Cultivation Techniques had progressed by leaps and bounds. His Martial Arts Realm had advanced from the Mid-grade of the Fifth Layer to the Late Stage of the Fifth Layer. In another twenty-odd days, he estimated he would reach the Perfection of the Fifth Layer.
Now, his Martial Arts Realm was only two small steps behind Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er! If this peerless prodigy knew his Cultivation Speed, she would probably be stunned speechless on the spot!
The Pine Crane Longevity Technique was also nearing the Returning to the Essence Realm. In another ten-odd days, it should break through. At that time, he wondered how much his lifespan would increase—twenty years, perhaps thirty?
Besides that, the Young Lady’s Shadow Concealment Primordial Technique had already advanced to the Late Stage, and its Explosive Power bonus had become a terrifying ninefold!
Presumably, the Young Lady’s realm has also reached the Late Stage of the Fourth Layer by now... However, this Young Lady of his would certainly never admit her realm was lower than his, haha!
The Fierce Tiger Roar Bone Technique and the Blood-Burning Secret Technique were both nearing the next realm. Once they broke through, the Explosive Power bonus would be even more ferocious!
Additionally, with the help of the Young Lady’s Mid-grade Divine Protection Pill, his Heart Thought strength had risen to Mortal Tier Seventh Grade. This realm was already extremely high; he wondered how many tens of thousands of Nourishing Spirit Pills and Divine Protection Elixirs other Martial Cultivators would need to consume to reach this level!
And the Third Spirit Puppet Technique he had just learned recently had already rapidly advanced to the Entering the Hall realm.
With this realm, combined with a seventh-grade Heart Thought, dealing with a seventh-tier Brown Bear Liao People would be absolutely easy!
In other words, he was about to possess a Spirit Puppet! And a seventh-tier Spirit Puppet at that! This would undoubtedly be like adding wings to a tiger, increasing his combat power tens of times, instantly transforming him into a powerful Cultivator capable of easily contending with a Late Stage Seventh Layer Cultivator!
Thinking of this, he looked outside the cave.
Inside the Demon Prison Cage over there, the small bear—the transformed seventh-tier Brown Bear Liao People—had completely lost all signs of life.
To avoid damaging its body when killing it, Lin Xuankong had deliberately suppressed his realm and mobilized a Tier Four Demon Fox to gradually wear down the little bear’s Demon Qi each day. Over these past twenty-odd days, he had finally managed to completely exhaust the Brown Bear Liao People’s incredibly condensed Demon Qi, and only today had he taken its life.
With anticipation in his eyes, Lin Xuankong rose to his full height, walked towards the Demon Prison Cage, and stared intently at the small bear.
From the cave entrance, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s somewhat puzzled voice was heard,
"Has the seventh-tier Brown Bear Liao People been killed already? Mr. Mu, are you planning to activate the Spirit Puppet Technique? When activating the Spirit Puppet Technique, the lower one’s realm, the longer it takes to refine the Puppet! But to even begin refining, one must at least reach the Initial Glimpse level... It’s only been twenty-odd days. Could Mr. Mu have already cultivated the Spirit Puppet Technique to the Entry Level?"
"Impossible!" Hua Yanluo, standing beside Xiaoo Ying’Er, looked at Mr. Mu with a doubtful expression. "I recall that when the Saintess cultivated the Spirit Puppet Technique, she was the fastest in the entire Royal Family and Celestial Sect. Yet, even she took over fifty days to reach the Entry Level of the Spirit Puppet Technique!"
Hua Yanluo considered for a moment, then said, "Or perhaps, Mr. Mu killed the seventh-tier Brown Bear Liao People and intends to store its corpse in the Ghost Frog Pouch for later use? After all, constantly activating that Demon Prison Cage also consumes a great deal of Qi Blood!"
