Longevity and Immortal Journey: Raising Demons, Raising Plants and Seeking Immortals

Chapter 446: Divine Power, Book Spirit
A few moments.

A one-foot-long jade box appeared in Li Changsheng's hand. He looked at it for a few seconds, and with the flow of his magic power, the restrictions on the jade box dissipated. The lid opened, and a hazy jade light emerged.

A strong evil aura mixed with a fishy fragrance spread.

Wait until the jade light fades away.

What comes into view is a round ball the size of an adult's fist, as white as mutton-fat jade.

"Nine-transformation spiritual silkworm."

Li Changsheng whispered, reached out to pick up the jade ball, and stared at it.

[Target: Jade Ball]

[Race: Nine-Transformation Spirit Silkworm]

[Bloodline: Alien Species]

[Great Demon Realm: First Heaven “.”]

[Innate magical power: Cocoon transformation]

[Status: dead]

Get their information.

Records about it emerged in Li Changsheng's mind.

Nine-transformation magical silkworm.

It was formed by the transformation of a spiritual silkworm by chance.

The name suits him, he possesses the supernatural power of "shedding the cocoon and being reborn". He is not good at attacking or fighting, and can shed the cocoon nine times in his life, each time more difficult than the last. If he succeeds, he will live, if he fails, he will die.

After shedding its cocoon nine times, it can transform into the Heavenly Dream Butterfly, a demon king who is good at using illusions.

The "Nine-Transformation Spirit Silkworm" in his hand died during the first transformation.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Changsheng put the jade ball into the jade box and put it away. Just as he was about to practice the magical power "Ever-Transforming Spiritual Body", his mind suddenly moved.

He turned his hand over, and a crooked piece of paper with graffiti on it, which looked like a bird, appeared in his palm.

Li Changsheng glanced over and his pupils suddenly contracted for a moment.

I saw.

The ink on the paper squirmed like water and a worm, gradually gathering into a thumb-sized ink ball. As spiritual energy grew, a faint spirituality sprouted.

in his perception.

The ink ball's spirituality grew rapidly, and the spiritual energy in the air rushed into its body.

The time for tea has passed.

An inch-tall ink-colored figure appeared on the jade-like paper. It was like a naughty baby, crawling and rolling on the paper at will, but it could never escape the confines of the paper.

"Book spirit."

Li Changsheng seemed very surprised by the birth of the book spirit. He smiled and reached out to gently touch the young book spirit. He watched it fall down in anger and laughed.

But if there were outsiders here, they would be able to see the deep and calm eyes on his smiling face.

The little book spirit seemed to be just born. After playing for a while, it curled up and fell asleep like a baby.

Li Changsheng's smile faded, and his fingertips pressed against the book spirit's body. As a hint of crimson flowed into its body, a weak connection emerged in his mind.

Gaze.

[Target: Demon King Realm Book Spirit "Fake Body"]

[Race: Book Spirit]

[Bloodline: Strange Monster]

[Early stage of the demon realm: “32%”]

[Innate magical power: Book House]

[Status: Healthy. 】

"Can't wait?"

Li Changsheng closed the panel and stared at himself.

as predicted.

In addition to the Qingyang Seal and the Daqing Seal in the status bar, there is another seal filled with the fragrance of books.

Li Changsheng closed the panel, leaned over to look at the curled-up sleeping book spirit for a few breaths, and chuckled.

Wave your sleeves and pass by.

The room was filled with miscellaneous books collected from the Immortal Evergreen Sect's library.

Li Changsheng's thoughts moved slightly.

The curled-up little book spirit slowly woke up, sat up, and rubbed its non-existent eyes like a child. When it stood up, it seemed to see the books piled up in the room, and quickly crawled to the edge of the paper, with emotions of "hungry" and "joy" surging in its mind.

Li Changsheng smiled gently and said, "Go ahead, they are all yours."

The young book spirit's mind was filled with intimacy and joy, and it jumped up like a puppy and landed on a volume of miscellaneous books. Its body slowly turned into strands of ink and merged into the book.

Just when it was about to be incorporated into the books.

Li Changsheng suddenly said, "Master, I will practice my magical powers in a while. You can stimulate a ray of spiritual light first and then eat. There is no rush."

The ink flowing from the young book spirit apparently froze for a moment, and its heart was filled with joy, as if it was very happy to be able to help its master.

The inky body exuded white light, which gathered into a thumb-sized ball of light above the head.

Just by looking at it, I felt my mind become clear.

The young book spirit, which condensed the light of spiritual nature, had an ink-colored body that seemed to be mixed with water, which made it noticeably darker. Its mind became depressed, and then its entire body merged into the book.

Li Changsheng stretched out his hand to wave the ball of light over and stared at it.

[Light of the Spirit: It is generated by the Book Spirit's magical power "Book House", which can help cultivators to see their true nature, comprehend the magical power of the skills, and slightly improve their understanding.]

"good."

Li Changsheng nodded with satisfaction, especially the last sentence that could improve his comprehension, which made him more determined to exploit a certain book spirit.

at this time.

In the inheritance hall, the old scholar who was reading a book felt a chill in his heart for no reason. He frowned slightly, calculated with his fingers, and there seemed to be a huge amount of words flowing in his pupils.

After a while.

The strange vision in the old book disappeared, and he put down the book, wondering: "Did I perceive it wrongly?" But then he shook his head slightly, "My magical power is connected with the heaven and earth, this sudden inspiration is definitely not out of thin air"

It has a serious expression, with its eyes closed and focused, its mind extending into the dark through its magical "bookstore".

Scenes kept appearing in its mind.

In these pictures, there are the leader of Tiger Monarch Peak, the old man, the young monk, Lan Caishen, Chang Hou, Luo Tianying, Chang Hanyan, Ding Liang, Ji Su, Yin Tan, and Zhuang Ying.
The pictures they are in are mostly different.

Some stayed in the wilderness and hills, in ruined temples, some wandered around the prosperous cities, watching warriors fighting, watching literati making friends with their pens, some transformed into terrifying monsters and fought with monks, some were chased by hundreds of soldiers wearing rune armor.
In nearly 90% of these scenes, Li Changsheng appears.

a long time.

Many scenes faded away one by one.

For unknown reasons, Ji Su, Yin Tan, Zhuang Ying, the old man, the young monk and others suddenly lost control and turned into terrifying monsters, fighting indiscriminately against friend or foe. The scene gradually became clear.

The old man opened his eyes, frowned, and shook his head, saying: "After thousands of years, even with the blood pool and flesh chamber nourishment, they can no longer hold on."

As it spoke, it suddenly showed sarcasm, "Who could have imagined that the Taixuan Sect's guardian beast would be reduced to such a demonic state, even worse than the livestock and foreigners that were harvested time and time again."

After saying this, Shu Lao suppressed his emotions, pondered for a moment, and then his figure turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared.

the other side.

With the help of the light of his soul, Li Changsheng's mind had never been so clear. With a slight movement of his thoughts, a picture of anthropomorphic shapes, complex veins, and a diagram of the magic meridians that ran through his entire body appeared in his mind.

Without hesitation, he immediately controlled the magic power to flow into the magic veins.

Because his magical power "The Infinite Spirit Body" was complete and he had mastered the essence of cultivation by heart, Li Changsheng divided his mind into dozens of parts and controlled the magic power to start unblocking the magic channels.

The magic veins were quickly penetrated by the magic power, and the magic vein diagram of "Wanhua Spirit Body" that almost covered the entire body gradually lit up at a fast speed.

As time went by, Li Changsheng immersed himself in cultivating his magical powers, ignoring the outside world. Occasionally, he would stop and instruct the book spirit to condense the spiritual light, and then immerse himself in cultivation again.

And when he was practicing.

Tan Hu, Ji Su, Yin Tan, Zhuang Ying, and other monks who wanted to become Li Changsheng's disciples came to visit him one after another. When they learned that he was practicing in seclusion, they left gifts, transmitted voice jade slips, and then left.

Dong Xing and his family moved into the "Bamboo Sea" peak as worshippers, built a house at the foot of the mountain, and began to open up spiritual fields one by one.

Li Pan'er was also busy. With the help of Dong Yao and Xiao Xifu, she developed the "Shan Hui" bamboo, which produced bamboo rice, leaves, branches, bamboo shoots, etc.
Under the premise of not damaging the spiritual bamboo, all the spiritual stones that can be sold are collected one by one and sent to Wangxian City by Rong Ying. The bamboo rice is kept in his own shop for sale, and the remaining spiritual objects are sold to other shops.

Knowing that it came from the True Mountain, and without any store trying to lower the price, I was able to sell it for a good price.

One day a year later.

Quiet room.

"call"

Li Changsheng opened his eyes, slowly exhaled a breath, felt the complicated Dharma vein diagram taking shape in his body, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although the "Wanhua Spirit Body" has no grade, it is more than ten times more complicated than the "Zhan Ling". In addition, as the level of cultivation increases, the Dharma veins become more and more difficult to open up, so it took years to open them all up.

Li Changsheng was ready to cultivate this magical power in one go, and his eyes fell on the ink-colored little man who was curled up and sleeping on a square table on the side.

A year has passed.

It has grown from its original size of an inch to its current height of a foot, and its intelligence and cultivation have also changed along with it.

His intelligence is now comparable to that of a young boy, and his cultivation has advanced from the early stage of the demon realm to the late stage of the demon realm, which can be said to be very fast.

According to the black-colored little man's own explanation, as long as it eats books, its spiritual wisdom and cultivation will continue to improve.

Li Changsheng laughed in his heart at this, but praised it highly on the surface, and even asked Li Paner to buy a lot of books to feed it.

at this time.

As if feeling his gaze, the ink-colored little man startled for a moment and sat up.

can be seen.

The facial features of the inky little man appeared on his face, and human texture appeared on his body.

He just looks too thin, like skin and bones.

Li Changsheng smiled gently and said, "You're awake." Then he praised, "Thanks to you, Xiao Mo, the master was able to open up his magical power meridians so quickly."

"Look how skinny you are. When the master's magical power is perfected, I will take you out to eat a lot and feed you until you are plump and black."

The book spirit, whom he named Xiao Mo, felt the sincere emotions conveyed by the connection. After a moment of silence, its blurred outline revealed an ugly smile, and a young man's voice full of joy sounded.

"Congratulations, Master, on achieving your magical power. The reason you were able to achieve it so quickly is because of your unparalleled talent. Xiao Mo only contributed a little bit of help."

"Hey, don't say that."

Li Changsheng looked modest, waved his hand and said with a smile: "It is still thanks to you, Xiao Mo, that some of the credit has been given." After saying that, he waved at it with a smile.

Seeing this scene that couldn't be more familiar, Shu Ling Xiao Mo's fuzzy outline wrinkled together. He wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but he could feel his firm determination, and finally hesitated and gathered a ray of spiritual light.

After Li Changsheng took it away, the book spirit Xiao Mo lowered his head and looked at his dull body which had become thinner. Before he could even sigh a few times, he suddenly felt Li Changsheng's gaze again.

It was stunned for a moment, then sat down on the wooden table, rolling over and over, crying, "Master, Xiao Mo is gone, really gone."

Li Changsheng was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and he said unhappily: "What nonsense, don't cry and disturb my master's practice."

The book spirit Xiao Mo's body froze, he stopped crying, and lay limply on the table with his limbs spread out.

Li Changsheng retracted his gaze, stared at the light of his soul, then raised his hand and patted it between his eyebrows. A cool feeling emerged, and all the distracting thoughts in his mind disappeared instantly.

He took out the jade box containing the remains of the "Nine-Transformation Spirit Silkworm", opened the lid, picked up the jade ball, held it in his palms, closed his eyes and concentrated.

Thoughts moved slightly.

A complex diagram of the Dharma lineage covering the entire body was emitting a hazy spiritual light.

A breath as gentle as water flowed into his veins from the jade ball in his palm, and under his control, slowly merged into the "Wanhua Spiritual Body" magic lineage.

Visible to the naked eye, the Dharma veins were stained with a jade-colored glow.

As wisps of gentle breath continued to pour in, the "Wanhua Lingshen" Dharma lineage gradually transformed into a white jade luster. Under its influence, the veins related to it broke one after another.

I don’t know how long it’s been.

The remains of the "Nine-Transformation Spirit Silkworm" in Li Changsheng's palm quietly turned into powder and dispersed. In the world within his body, the "Ten Thousand Transformations of the Spiritual Body" lineage atlas gathered into a white jade ball of light, and a strange rune that seemed to be stacked one on top of another flashed by.

Then it turned into a stream of light and crashed into the Dantian, merging into the foundation of the Dantian octagonal tower.

As the magical power "Ever-Transforming Spirit Body" was integrated, the sword-shaped imprint on the Taoist foundation faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and one third of the jade-colored light ball transformed by the magical power "Ever-Transforming Spirit Body" turned into black and red sword light.

Li Changsheng suddenly felt that the sword intent hidden in his mind disappeared. At the same time, the contradictory and abnormal feeling in his body also faded away.

"The next step is to wait for the magical power "Ten Thousand Spirits" to nurture a spiritual body."

Li Changsheng felt satisfied when he felt the slight changes in his body's veins caused by the flow of magic power. Then his mind moved slightly, and the black and red sword light on his "Wanhua Spirit Body" faded, while the other third was gradually stained with a faint and hazy blood light.

The foundation of Taoism once again spread out sword-shaped imprints, and a sword intent several times stronger than before floated in his mind. The magical power "Soul Slashing" was connected with its energy, and the sword intent became several times stronger.

Under the influence of both, the magic power was tainted with a sharpness.

Li Changsheng felt even more satisfied. Only when the spirits did not interfere with each other could they maximize the power of their amplifying magical powers.

After the test.

Li Changsheng once again put away the "Blood Evil Soul-Killing Sword Body" and left it to the magical power "Ten Thousand Spirits" to nurture a compatible spiritual body.

The mind returns to the body.

Li Changsheng stared at himself, glanced at the column of magical powers, and nodded slightly.

Different from other magical powers.

Once the gradeless "Eternal Spirit Body" is cultivated, it reaches a state of perfection and there is no need to continue practicing.

"Now that I have two of the three spiritual bodies, I can cultivate another spiritual body."

Li Changsheng pondered for a moment, shook his head and stopped thinking about it. After all, the spiritual body was to amplify the supernatural powers and make them stronger. Before there were suitable supernatural powers, there was no need to specially cultivate a spiritual body.

He slowly stood up, raised his hand to call the book spirit Xiao Mo, which was lying in the shape of a big character on the wooden table, to his front, put it on his shoulder, and walked out of the quiet room.

Come to the main hall.

The servant brought tea. While Li Changsheng was drinking tea, Li Pan'er and Dong Xing's family, who had heard the news, entered the palace excitedly and shouted:
"Brother, you are out of quarantine."

"Congratulations to Lord Li on his further advancement in cultivation." "Hello, Senior Brother." "Hello, Uncle Li."

Li Changsheng smiled and nodded, waved his hand for them to sit down and talk, and asked about what had happened in the past year.

The biggest change compared to before his retreat was that hundreds of acres of spiritual fields on the "Bamboo Sea" Peak were opened up one after another.

But because he had not given any instructions, Dong Xing only planted first-grade upper-quality and second-grade lower-quality spiritual fields. The remaining one acre of upper-quality spiritual fields and five acres of medium-quality spiritual fields were temporarily empty.

Li Changsheng asked: "With so many spiritual fields, can you take care of them all by yourself?"

Dong Xing hesitated for a moment, thinking of the three people who had not yet reached the Condensed Veins stage, Dong Yao, and said, "Come and take care of it."

Li Changsheng shook his head slightly, stopped talking about this matter, and started chatting casually.

Chatted for a while.

Li Pan'er and Dong Xing's family left the palace and busied themselves with mountain affairs.

Li Changsheng was free for a while. After thinking for a while, he took out the jade book, issued a mission to find someone, and then searched for information on the sale of second-grade high-quality spirit seeds.

Not long after.

A piece of information about selling spirit seeds came into mind.

The spiritual seed is called "Xuanhuangzhi" and is a second-grade, top-grade earth-attributed spiritual medicine. It can be used to refine Xuanhuang Pills that enhance spiritual practice. Although its value is only average among all the top-grade spiritual medicines, it is suitable for planting on the "Bamboo Sea" Peak, and it will benefit Li Paner more.

No hesitation.

After leaving a letter to the cultivator who sold spirit seeds, Li Changsheng walked out of the temple and strolled leisurely with the book spirit Xiao Mo.

It's noon.

Li Changsheng, who was drinking tea and reading in the pavilion, looked up with a slight smile. He stood up and walked out of the pavilion, then looked up at the sky.
