Wanhua City South District.
Although it is one of the four major districts in the city, the east, west, south, and north, the southern district is basically a slum area in the city.
It is far less wealthy than the other three districts. In a sense, the southern district can be called the outer city of Wanhua City.
People at the bottom of Wanhua City gather here. As one of the few big cities in Linjiang Prefecture, the cost of survival in Wanhua City is actually very high, which is not comparable to the original Lin'an County City.
Those who can live in Wanhua City, even those who have settled in the Southern District, can be considered to have moderate conditions in other counties of Linjiang Prefecture.
However, life is still difficult, and the ability to resist risks is quite weak, and it is basically unbearable when encountering some setbacks.
This has also resulted in a large flow of people in the Wanhua City South District. There are many opportunities in the big city, but it is also very cruel. The capable are promoted and the weak are demoted. This is Rules.
At this time, there is a wide courtyard on the edge of the South District. It is not suitable to be called a courtyard, because this courtyard is connected by several adjacent small courtyards.
Because the location is quite remote, and the road bends next to the city drainage ditch, various odors are emitted from time to time.
Therefore, apart from this large courtyard nearby, there is only this courtyard within a few hundred meters.
At this time, Lin Sheng was standing in a rather spacious room that had been renovated in the courtyard. In front of him was a large pit that was four to five meters deep and about ten feet wide.
Inside the big pit were no less than a dozen snakes of all kinds Strange Beast.
Among them was a small snake with a green body and a body length of only about one meter. It had a bright red comb on its head, which looked strangely like a snake body and a chicken head.
There are also snake beasts that are completely black, with subtle red lines mixed in the black, and are two meters long, with a head like a club, as well as colorful thin snakes that look extremely bright and quite beautiful.
Some of these snakes he bought at a high price, and some he caught himself in the mountains and forests. Without exception, they were all venomous snakes with extremely venom in their bodies.
Although these snakes are not big in size, and some of them are not even small toothpicks in front of many snakes Strange Beast, the poison contained in their bodies cannot be underestimated at all.
The little green snake with a chicken head was the poisonous snake nicknamed Crested Snake that he had seen on Yangping Mountain.
The round-headed snake Black Scale is a highly venomous snake called Black Fiend Snake. Its body contains strong rotten poison. In terms of toxicity, it is even much stronger than the rotten poison of Black Tiger Ape.
His purpose of putting these poisonous snakes together was naturally to test the Blood Beast Spirit Nurturing Method obtained from Gongsun Beast.
The Blood Demon Centipede trained by Guo Feng was a great help to him now. The high physical bonus, combined with the Rapid Healing talent that is very consistent with his physical constitution, greatly improved his vitality.
This Blood Beast Spirit Nurturing Method, he would take it out to study when he had nothing to do, and he also had his own understanding of this beast-containing method.
This secret method uses a Strange Beast as the main body to apply various external force means to completely disrupt the growth trajectory of the Strange Beast's body, allowing it to grow in the direction you want. If cultivated properly, it can completely break the original limits of this Strange Beast.
Of course, there are many side effects. You must be extremely careful during the cultivation process and pay special attention to the health of Strange Beast.
After all, this method of cultivating Strange Beast is equivalent to transformation. If you are not careful, the subject Strange Beast will die directly. At the same time, you must also pay attention to the various balances in Strange Beast's body during the cultivation process. This is also the most difficult. Otherwise, even if the Strange Beast is successfully cultivated, its lifespan will be extremely short.
This kind of cultivation method itself will cause a huge loss of vitality to Strange Beast.
To give a simple example, if the main body of cultivation is a white ape, the natural lifespan of the white ape is about 30 years.
However, after being cultivated by Blood Beast Spirit Nurturing Method, even if it can break through its own upper limit, its lifespan will be shortened to less than one-third of its original value, or even lower.
Once the balance of various energies in the body of the subject Strange Beast is not grasped during the cultivation process, it will become extremely unstable. Even if the cultivation is successful, it will die soon and there is not much meaning.
However, Lin Sheng has a different view on this secret method. If it is as written in the secret method, it will require a lot of trials and tests. Depending on the type of individual Strange Beast, it will undoubtedly take a lot of time to achieve the most suitable cultivation conditions.
He is indeed somewhat interested in cultivating Strange Beast, but the main purpose is to enter the body for himself.
It is impossible for him to spend several years and a lot of resources to create Spirit Beast like the original Guo Feng.
Therefore, he does not attach much importance to the energy balance in Strange Beast's body and will not spend too much time on it. As long as Strange Beast, who is the main body during the cultivation process, will not die, it is enough. As for after the cultivation is successful, it does not matter even if he dies soon. After all, the purpose is just to enter the body.
And these various poisonous snakes were specially used by him to select the main body Strange Beast.
For this purpose, he specially found such a remote yard in the South District.
Originally, there were nearly thirty venomous snakes in the square pond. He did not give these venomous snakes any food. After a week, the number of venomous snakes in the square pond had been reduced by half, and would continue to decrease until there was only one left, which was Strange Beast, which he used as the main body of cultivation.
The reason for choosing venomous snakes is that there are many kinds of snakes Strange Beast, and they are not difficult to catch or purchase. Secondly, the size of venomous snakes Strange Beast is basically not large. Even if they are cultivated in the city, they will not make any noise.
It just so happens that he now Three Corpses Soul Severing Palm also needs more intense poisonous auxiliary training, and Strange Beast, which cultivates the poisonous type, is also suitable.
"I hope the result won't disappoint me."
He murmured a few words Lin Sheng and left the yard.
This courtyard is in charge of Old Zhou. If there are any changes during the cultivation process, he will be notified immediately.
"Calculating, it should be almost time."
Lin Sheng did not return to his original Residence, but went towards Tianxiang Tower.
Soon he arrived at Tianxiang Tower. After announcing his name as Zhao Kongfang, a slightly fat man came out and led him in.
"Young Master Lin You are here. The things arrived yesterday. They are ready for you and can be taken away at any time."
The slightly fat man's name is Zhao Qian, one of the stewards of Tianxiang Tower. He said enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Manager Zhao. Why haven't you seen Senior Brother Zhao in the past few days?"
Lin Sheng also smiled back.
After becoming more familiar with Zhao Kongfang, he already knew this Second Senior Brother's other background besides his identity as a disciple of the Seven Forms Sect.
Tianxiang Tower, ranked first among Wanhua City, has two bosses behind it. One of them is named Zhao, and he is the uncle of Zhao Kongfang.
Although Zhao family behind Zhao Kongfang is not the first-class force among Wanhua City, it should not be underestimated. Zhao family is involved in silk and restaurants. In terms of business, Linjiang Prefecture has dozens of shops, large and small, and even has business dealings with Tiannan Prefecture, so Zhao Kongfang can be regarded as the second generation of rich people.
When he learned this, Lin Sheng was quite surprised, but if he thought about it carefully, it was reasonable. Otherwise, how could Zhao Kongfang be able to buy a large amount of Star Worm from Tianxiang Tower's channel so easily.
"Master Zhao has something to deal with at home recently. He will be back in a few days."
Zhao Qian responded with a smile on his face, and at the same time handed over a box the size of a human head in his hand.
"The young master also asked me to tell Young Master Lin that he should take these Star Worm Young Master Lin first. If there are not enough, he will transfer another batch."
Hearing this, Lin Sheng smiled, not politely, and reached out to take the box.
After he found Zhao Kongfang and expressed his interest in Star Worm, he patted his chest and said he would put it on him.
Lin Sheng does not take advantage of this. He will wait until Zhao Kongfang comes back and then hand over the corresponding money to him.
Star Worm had been obtained, and he had no intention of staying any longer, so he said goodbye and left. However, he was stopped by Zhao Qian after taking just two steps.
"Young Master Lin, I almost forgot to tell you that there is another Star Dew Grass in this box. This plant must not be eaten."
"Okay."
He didn't expect that there was a Star Dew Grass inside, so he nodded in response.
Holding the box in his hand, he walked directly out of the city and came to the top of the short mountain where he practiced before.
Now that Star Worm has arrived, it's time to study the mental ape talent.
"I hope I can get a different result this time."
During this period of time, he also activated the mental ape talent, but unfortunately, he still couldn't hold on for long. The intense pain caused him great mental loss, and he couldn't confirm the usefulness of Vertical Eye between the eyebrows at all.
But it's different now. With the help of Star Worm, he is confident that he can last longer.
On the top of the mountain, Lin Sheng's thoughts immediately began to change rapidly.
His whole body was congested and swollen with blood, but he had already transformed into the red giant he had been before while breathing.
Click, click, click...
He moved his neck slightly, and a series of bone crunching sounds came from his body.
At this time, he had Three-eyed Spirit Monkey and Blood Demon Centipede in his body. After all, Blood Demon Centipede's high physical bonus was more practical, and the talents Rapid Healing and Iron Bone were also very consistent.
Although he had felt the surge of power in his body several times, he still couldn't help but sigh after each time it entered his body.
"This powerful feeling is really wonderful..."
At the same time, dozens of miles away from the short mountain, a group of black mist was sweeping towards the short mountain. The area of the black mist was not large, only a few feet square.
The black mist was extremely fast, but it didn't make any sound.
But wherever it passed, no matter whether it was birds, animals or mosquitoes, moths and ants, they didn't notice it at all, until they were instantly swallowed up by the black mist and disappeared. A huge outline was vaguely visible in the churning black mist.
"The mental ape talent is activated."
On the low mountain, thoughts flashed.
The familiar severe pain spurted out of his mind in an instant, like thousands of needles constantly shuttled through his brain. The unbearable severe pain made him shake constantly, and he grabbed his hair with both hands and tightly strangled his head.
With the sound of muscle tearing, Senbai's bone spurs emerged from the skin.
The vertical eyes that were tightly closed between the brows also trembled slightly and slowly opened.
Revealing the yellow pupils within it.
Lin Sheng's body was shaken, and he resisted the overwhelming pain. He stretched out his hand and directly scratched the lid of the wooden box. He reached into the box with his big hand and picked up a handful of Star Worm that exuded a blue shimmer.
These Star Worm are untreated and contain strong cold poison.
But he obviously didn't care about this and stuffed Star Worm into his mouth.
As the bitingly cold Star Worm entered from the mouth, a cool feeling instantly surrounded his internal organs and headed towards his head.
Lin Sheng felt that his heart was clear, and the extremely violent and violent energy in his heart also dissipated.
Although the intense pain acting on his consciousness still existed, it was a little weaker than before.
"It works!!"
Lin Sheng's two bloodshot and red eyes showed joy, and he immediately grabbed a handful of Star Worm from the wooden box and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it without chewing.
The coolness that had already dissipated was immediately replenished.
The irritability and anger calmed down a little again, and the pain also subsided a little.
"Three breaths..."
"Five breaths..."
He calculated the time in his mind. After the Vertical Eye between his eyebrows was turned on before, he could only hold on for three breaths at most before being unable to hold on any longer.
But now he can hold on for five breaths.
But as time goes by, the coolness brought by Star Worm is rapidly diminishing.
"I can hold on longer!"
With a ferocious look on his face, Lin Sheng grabbed a handful of Star Worm from the wooden box and threw it into his mouth.
"Ten breaths..."
As the coolness in the body is continuously replenished, the ten breaths of time have passed.
When he was about to grab some more Star Worm, he did feel a slight movement from Vertical Eye between his eyebrows. He immediately turned his head and looked down the mountain. His gaze spanned a distance of more than ten miles, and even the dense woods could not cover it.
From such a long distance, he couldn't see anything at all when he didn't have the sense of body or other strange beasts, but the scene in his sight at this moment was clearly visible.
There was a group of dark mist moving rapidly through the mountains and forests, heading this way.
A faint threat also came from it.
There was a faint flash of Vertical Eye between the eyebrows, and he saw a strange outline in the black mist that seemed to be a mixture of a large number of Strange Beast.
At this time, the black fog that was more than 10 miles away suddenly stopped. The large and irregular creature in the fog seemed to feel something. An eye the size of a human head opened from above, and black air surged above the eye. Looking at the red figure on the low mountain.
A strange color flashed through the huge One-Eye, but soon there was strong greed again, but it did not continue to move forward. After staring at the red figure in the distance for a long time, the black mist quickly closed in and then returned towards the way it came.
Lin Sheng watched this scene on the low mountain until the black fog completely disappeared, and then he immediately turned off the mental ape talent.
Because Star Worm allowed his consciousness to remain somewhat clear, he was able to successfully shut it down.
"Huh..."
He exhaled heavily, and his whole body was already wet with sweat.
Because he already recognized what the black mist was just now.
That feeling is definitely Phantom Demon Beast.
"Why did it appear here!? Didn't Prefecture City already send experts to exterminate its demonic species..."
