Chapter 9: Raised by a Snake Demon, Advancing in Qi Refining
The snake demon Hei Chi looked at the blood-eyed crow in front of him with great curiosity. This little crow had already gained intelligence before it had even refined its qi, which meant that its spiritual sense was much stronger than that of other blood-eyed crows.
Moreover, the chance of advancing to the Qi Refining stage in the future is practically a certainty.
It would be far better to raise such a talented blood-eyed crow in captivity until it has cultivated its qi before eating it, rather than to eat it now.
then.
Hei Chi opened his mouth and swallowed Lin Li, who was inside the water sphere, into his stomach.
at the same time.
As Lin Li watched himself being eaten, he was already prepared to die at any moment.
Fortunately, among the bloodlines collected in this life, there is a superior one.
As long as this black snake is alive, it will inevitably seek revenge in its next life if given the chance after its death.
outside world.
On the riverbank.
"Brother Mu, let's work together on alchemy again tomorrow."
"I'll head back to my cave now."
After greeting Mu Xuan, the snake demon Hei Chi disappeared into the water.
Old Toad Mu Xuan also called to the green turtle at his feet and left the riverbank.
...
I don't know how much time passed.
Lin Li was once again exposed to the light of day. Inside the water sphere, he looked around and saw a cave made of stalactites. Above, a huge luminous pearl floated, illuminating the entire cave.
The surrounding rock walls were covered with moss, and in the corners of the cave were piles of white bones and corpses.
In front of Lin Li was the snake demon that had swallowed him whole. The snake demon was now only three or four zhang long, and its pair of snake eyes were fixed on him.
This made Lin Li feel very uncomfortable.
Then, the snake demon spat out a black pill from its mouth. Several holes immediately appeared on the surface of the black pill, from which black poisonous smoke spewed out. The poisonous smoke, like snakes, burrowed into the water spheres that surrounded the forest of trees.
In the blink of an eye, the poisonous smoke seeped into Lin Li's limbs and bones, forming a protective shield around his heart.
"Little Crow".
"Now that you've gained intelligence, you should follow me closely."
"I will teach you cultivation techniques."
"May you achieve success in your cultivation as soon as possible."
"I'm using poisonous smoke to control you so that you'll obey me."
"As long as you listen to me, you can continue to live a good life."
"Nod if you understand."
Hei Chi looked at Lin Li and said.
"To impart cultivation techniques?"
Lin Li was overjoyed; this was indeed a good thing.
However, Lin Li could understand the snake demon's thoughts. It probably wanted to raise him until he could refine his Qi before eating him.
The nourishing effects of eating an ordinary demon and eating a spirit with refined energy are completely different.
Lin Li, who was inside the water sphere, nodded without hesitation.
If I had a cultivation technique, my cultivation progress would be much faster in my next life.
The next moment, the water sphere that had been enveloping Lin Li dispersed, and a divine thought entered Lin Li's sea of consciousness.
A cultivation method titled "The First Level of the Devouring Fiend Technique" came to mind.
This includes the basic breathing exercises and the first level of the Qi Refining exercises.
"If you can cultivate this technique to the first level, you can successfully advance to the Qi Refining stage."
"By the way, here are two Blood Spirit Pills. After swallowing them, they will help you in your cultivation. Perhaps you can break through to the Qi Refining stage within three months."
"Practice diligently during this time."
After saying that, Hei Chi opened his mouth and spat out two Blood Spirit Pills the size of quail eggs. These pills were made by eating hundreds of giant green toads, and only one was given to that old toad monster.
The snake demon kept at least two for itself.
After speaking in a deep, middle-aged man's voice, Black Pool turned and swam into the pool in the center of the cave.
"Why not eat it if it's free?"
"Advancing in Qi cultivation will also benefit me personally."
"Once you eat me, and I'm reincarnated and have achieved some success in my cultivation, I'll definitely skin you alive and tear your tendons apart."
Lin Li looked at the Blood Spirit Pill in front of him and swallowed one in one gulp.
The elixir entered the stomach.
A surge of heat welled up from within, spreading throughout the body.
At this moment, Lin Li began to try to control the heat flow within his body and practice according to the breathing techniques of the basic chapter of the Devouring Fiend Technique.
A few breaths later.
The heat flow was then controlled and began to slowly condense into a malevolent vortex within the body.
I don't know how much time passed.
Bang!
A sound of water was heard, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.
Lin Li looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blue fish nearly ten feet long with ox horns on its head, which had been thrown a few steps in front of him.
There is nothing else besides that.
The snake demon left the cave pool without even showing its face.
"A demon fish?"
'Could the pool in this cave be connected to the Black Fiend River?'
Lin Li pondered in his heart.
He was also a bit hungry at that moment. And such a big demon fish was enough to feed him for two or three days.
Lin Li pounced forward, his hard beak pecking open the scales of the bull-horned demon fish, tearing off pieces of tender fish meat and swallowing them into his mouth.
"This tastes much better than the giant toad."
After tasting the food, Lin Li gave a fair evaluation.
[Inclusion successful]
[Tier 1, Low-grade Bloodline, Horned Rock Fish!]
In the Reincarnation Plate of the Sea of Consciousness, a new demonic fish appeared, with bull horns on its head and blue scales all over its body. The demonic fish was lifelike and swam around in the Reincarnation Plate.
"Inferior bloodline, but not bad."
This marks the first aquatic demon bloodline to be included in the collection.
Looking at the collected information, Lin Li realized that being able to collect one more demon bloodline would give him more options.
However, compared to a first-tier superior Blue-tailed Corpse Fox, this Horned Rock Fish is not very competitive.
In the following days.
The snake demon never showed its face again. However, after Lin Li finished eating the horned rock fish, it would send another horned rock fish over, as if there were a school of horned rock fish nearby.
Three months have passed in this way.
Inside the damp cave.
A blood-eyed raven, nearly four feet tall, stood on a giant stone platform. Within a radius of three zhang around it, a dark vortex of malevolent energy had formed. The source of this malevolent energy was the fish skeletons and carcasses at the corners of the cave.
The malevolent energy gathered towards the blood-eyed crow in the center.
About half an hour later.
All the malevolent energy was drawn to the blood-eyed crow. A crack suddenly appeared on the fleshy protrusion between its eyebrows, and a single, ferocious, blood-red eye snapped open.
A massive aura of strange and powerful energy swept around.
At this moment, Lin Li could feel a surge of pure demonic energy within his body. This demonic energy could flow freely throughout his body, like the movement of an arm or finger.
The demonic energy cultivated in the first level of the Devouring Demon Technique carries the corrosive properties of demonic energy.
Lin Li channeled his demonic energy into his claws, and with a couple of easy swings, he left several deep claw marks on the hard rock beneath his feet.
There were also black corrosion marks around the claw marks.
"Aura-Protecting Armor."
With a thought, Lin Li released his internal evil energy, which formed a black protective shield on his body like a curtain of water. This served as a defensive measure.
[Level 1 of Qi Refining (1/100)]
At this moment, a panel of information appeared, displaying one's cultivation level, followed by a numerical value.
With this panel, I'll be able to see my cultivation progress clearly from now on.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
The sound of rushing water echoes in the cave pool.
A black snake, over ten zhang long, poked its head out from within...
