Chapter 5: Spirit Herbs, Wolf Demon Beast
worth being vigilant about. The matter of the Boundary Sky Stone is extremely important and cannot be lost. Judging by Lu Danwang’s past actions, if there are any changes in the chaotic Demon Domain,...In the rest room, Lu Xia tian couldn't sleep. He was excitedly examining the Spirit Beast Ring in his hand. Although young, Lu Xia tian could tell that the old man in black robes had no intention of teaching him anything else. It seemed he only saw him as a tool for raising the Little Green Ant. Getting this Spirit Beast Ring and the beast-taming art was worth the risk.
Today's harvest is really rich. I put away the Qi Gathering Pills too. Qi Gathering Pills are such important medicinal pills; once they are used, they are gone. Lu Xia Tian felt that it would be more effective to use them when breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining.
The old man in black robes only rested in the cave for one night. The next morning, he left early.
Lu Xia Tian spent ten days in his cave dwelling studying beast taming techniques. After gaining a considerable amount of confidence, one morning, he used the incantation bestowed by the old man in black to command the black bear.
The black bear yawned and let out a few low growls. Lu Xiaotian continued to mutter the incantation. The ancient silver spirit beast ring on the bear's neck flashed several times before it reluctantly swayed its fat body, moving several large stones to block the entrance of the cave.
Lu Xiaotian's face showed a thoughtful expression, "It seems that what the book says is not wrong. It's more convenient to control one's own spirit beast. This black bear is the spirit beast of the old man in black robe. Driving it is indeed a bit difficult. It seems that we have to give this black bear some benefits first."
For this, Lu Xiaoteng took the black bear out, specially finding some berries, honey from wild beehives, and other foods that the black bear liked. The black bear had been confined in the cave for too long, and it was a rare treat to be so free and easy-going as it strolled through the canyon. After satisfying its hunger, the bear's attitude towards Lu Xiaoteng became much more affectionate.
“Roar!” The black bear sniffed a few times before darting swiftly into a thicket of bushes, startling several wild sparrows. It extended a thick paw and waved it back and forth, its hefty head lowering for a moment before lifting again with red fruit, along with some leaves, being chewed in its mouth.
A few fruits on the branches were being gnawed by a black bear in its mouth. Inhaling the strange scent released when the ripe fruit was crushed, Lu XiaTian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
When the black bear came out of the bushes, Lu Xiaocen followed in its tracks and entered the thicket. To his disappointment, he found that the place where the black bear had been, even this small fruit tree, had been gnawed away halfway.
"I couldn't help but mutter to myself, 'This gluttonous bear of a dog.'"
Just as Lu Xia Tian's face was filled with disappointment and he was about to retreat from the bush, he suddenly smelled a faint smell of herbs. It actually had a few similarities with the aroma of Gathering Qi Pills.
When the old man in black robes was refining pills, he usually didn't let him into the alchemy room. However, through refining the beast spirit pill for the little green ant, he knew that every kind of pill had its corresponding spiritual grass or spirit creature to refine it.
This is a placeholder for paragraph content.
Thinking about this, Lu Xia Tian crawled into the bushes and carefully moved the grass, searching for the source of the smell.
A moment later, Lu Xiaoteng finally discovered two clumps of light purple grass about half a foot tall. Each clump had seven leaves with clear veins. These two plants looked distinctly different from the surrounding weeds, emitting an aura that made Lu Xiaoteng feel very comfortable, similar to the spiritual energy of the Qi Gathering Pill.
Lu Xia Tian excitedly collected the two small grasses, putting them in a jade box. Before leaving home to collect herbs for the beast spirit pill, he brought several jade boxes, and there was just an empty one left.

After searching the surroundings again, Lu Xia Tian found there was no more of that kind of grass. He couldn't wait to bring the black bear back to his cave.
Back in the rest room, Lu Xia Tian opened the jade box and plucked a leaf from one of the small plants inside. He chewed it for a few times, and a surge of vigorous, domineering spiritual energy shot into his body, wreaking havoc. Lu Xia Tian was in so much pain that beads of sweat rolled down his face.
Lu Xia Tian's heart was startled, and he hurriedly sat cross-legged, running his internal energy according to the D Zhoutian cycle through his meridians.
“There’s a breakthrough!” Lu Xiaottian felt a surge of joy in his heart as he noticed some spiritual energy beginning to flow with zhenqi in his meridians. Although the other spiritual energies were clashing and causing him excruciating pain, Lu Xiaottian saw hope and continued to guide the erratic spiritual energy.One cycle, two cycles. Increasing amounts of violent spiritual energy became gentler, being slowly transformed into zhenqi as they circulated along with the zhenqi within his body.

After continuously running the five great celestial cycles, the spiritual energy that had invaded his body was completely transformed. Lu Xia Tian only then discovered that his clothes were soaked with sweat. At this time, the zhenqi swirling in his dantian was much larger than before, almost equivalent to the zhenqi he had accumulated through several days of hard cultivation. If he swallowed the entire herb, it would be equivalent to saving a month of hard work.
I didn't expect that a single spiritual herb could save a month of cultivation. If I had more spiritual herbs, I could also break through to the second level of Qi Refining faster. The black-robed elder and several others often went in and out of the canyon. They must have been looking for early spiritual objects to improve their cultivation speed. The black-robed elder wouldn't be back for a while, so I could go out a few more times. Lu Xiaoxiao thought excitedly.
With time still left in the evening, Lu Xiaoteng washed away the sweat from his body after which he changed into fresh clothes and went to the alchemy room to refine a batch of Beast Spirit Pills. The next day, he scattered a few Beast Spirit Pills into the jade pool and fed them to the little green ant. After that, Lu Xiaoteng took the black bear out of the cave, and the man and beast walked through the white, misty air. Feeling the strands of spiritual energy in the valley, his heart felt a sense of ease.
“Roar!” The black bear unleashed its might, swatting a wild boar that was trying to sneak attack Lu Xiaoteng to death with one palm. By noon, Lu Xiaoteng felt a little hungry, so he gathered some firewood, built a frame, and after skinning and gutting the wild boar, roasted it on the rack. This time, Lu Xiaoteng had made preparations for going out and brought salt. He sprinkled salt and a small amount of spices on the pork and roasted it. After a while, the aroma filled the air.
The black bear stared at the pork sizzling over the fire, pacing impatiently around the flames. Its mouth watered profusely.
But at the same time, there were also panting sounds of wild beasts coming from all around. Lu Xia Tian heard the sound and looked suspiciously, only to see that among the nearby grass bushes, there were five or six gray giant wolves with menacing aura, their size almost twice that of normal wolves.
“These are demon beasts!” Lu Xiaotien broke out in a cold sweat. Since entering the Qi Refining stage, Lu Xiaotien could feel the difference between ordinary wild beasts and demon beasts. The demonic aura emanating from demon beasts was something wild beasts lacked. And at this time, Lu Xiaotien was no longer the same as before. With a short sword in his arms, he wasn't afraid of facing a lone wolf, but facing a pack of five or six wolves, he was helpless. After all, although Lu Xiaotien was now at the Qi Refining stage, he didn’t know any offensive or defensive spells, nor any martial arts. He only had a much stronger body than before. What's more, these were five or six wolf demon beasts!
>No matter which one he chose, he could feel the demonic aura emanating from the Azure Wolf far surpassing his own. If he were to categorize demon beasts, Lu Xia Tian felt that these gray giant wolves should be at around the second level of Qi Refining. They were much stronger than him.
Before the pack of wolves could surround him, the black bear roared furiously and charged at the nearest wolf. With its weight of over two thousand pounds, the bear's run was truly terrifying.
“Awooo....” A wolf demon beast was slapped by a thick bear paw, screaming as it flew tens of feet away and crashed onto the ground, falling silent.

"Almost forgot." Lu Xia Tian patted his forehead and hurriedly took out the ancient silver spirit beast ring from his bosom, reciting a spell.
A wolf demon's maw gaped wide, spitting out an ice-shaped cone of frost towards the black bear. However, a faint yellow glow flickered across the bear's fur, and when the icy spike struck its body, it produced a deafening boom like striking iron, failing to penetrate even a fraction.

"Roar.... The Bearman stood up and roared loudly, his imposing aura suppressing the demonic energy of several wolf demons at once. His massive bear body fell, his bear claws pressed to the ground, and suddenly a yellowish-brown spike shot out from the ground beneath a wolf demon's belly, piercing through its abdomen before it could escape."
Then, two more gray giant wolves fell to the black bear's claws. The rest fled in disarray, tails between their legs. Lu Xia Tian ran forward and saw that of the three wolf monsters lying on the ground, two were dead beyond recognition. The other had been pierced through by earth spikes - there was no hope for it.
Lu Xiaotian felt a little discouraged. After all, the black bear wasn't his tamed spirit beast, and its level was much higher than his own. He couldn't control it like an arm of his body.g clouds in the sky, dozens of wind blades slicing through, scattering the flowing clouds.Lu Xia Tian's speed was not slow.
