Practicing in the aura desert is simply torture.
If Chen Mo had not had the help of the Qiankun Pearl, his cultivation would never have reached the fourth level of the Foundation Building Stage in such a short period of time.
Even if he had a chance encounter, it would be impossible. He had experienced two crises, but it still didn't improve his strength much. The most helpful thing is actually the spiritual liquid in the Qiankun Pearl, which can satisfy Chen Mo's need for spiritual energy.
Zu Liming has no spiritual energy, and all he can cultivate and use is this little spiritual energy in the valley. Moreover, these spiritual energy will be distributed by the snakes and spiritual plants in the valley.
In other words, his strength cannot break through the isolation formation in the entire valley, so the spiritual energy he can absorb and use is only this little spiritual energy in his area.
Therefore, it is really difficult to increase your cultivation level. Even though Zu Liming's own cultivation qualifications are very good, he still has no way to increase his cultivation speed.
Then, if you want revenge and save Ayaka, there is really no hope.
Therefore, Zu Liming could only find another way and look at the snakes in the valley.
If the snakes in the valley saw the twinkling light in Zu Liming's eyes, they would definitely concentrate on attacking this guy. The gaze was so rippling that it was hard for the snakes to let go of it.
All the snakes in the valley grew up eating spiritual plants. This also results in the fact that all snakes contain spiritual energy in their bodies. The longer it exists in the valley, the more spiritual energy is contained in the body.
Even some mutated snakes have mutated their bodies due to taking precious spiritual plants, resulting in body mutations such as two heads, three heads, five heads, etc.
And after the mutation, the snakes not only become a bit bigger, but also become very powerful in both attack and defense. Its snake body also contains powerful spiritual power.
Therefore, as long as these snakes are caught and eaten, they can not only replenish body nutrition, but also replenish the spiritual power lacking in cultivation and speed up cultivation.
However, due to various isolation formations in the valley, these snakes are isolated by formations in different areas.
If you want to catch these snakes, one must be stronger than these snakes, and the other must be to crack these formations in order to enter the area where these snakes are staying.
However, Zu Liming has only been cultivating for a while. If he fights against mutant snakes, he will definitely give them meat and food to these mutant snakes.
Fortunately, Zu Liming learned some snake catching skills while following the witch doctor. One of them contains a potion that can make snakes crazily intimate. Many of these medicines for snakes are actually produced near snake nests.
Just like the main medicine, Artemisia serrata, as long as there is a snake nest, there will be this medicinal material next to the snake nest, which can make snakes have the urge to mate.
So, Zu Liming practiced the formations. There was nothing to say about this. Because the knowledge of the formations in the jade talisman was lacking, he could only understand some simple knowledge, and then relied on his own strength to do it.
Look for the surrounding formations that are weak, or those formations that consume serious energy, and start destroying them.
In addition, the drug is formulated so that once the snake smells it, it will have no other thoughts but impulsive drugs.
Immediately, in the later time, he began to sharpen these formations, and he really found some areas that could consume the energy of the formations.
Then, as soon as the formation is broken, the medicine that has been prepared is thrown out directly so that the snakes rushing past can smell it.
Just be patient and develop, don't be impulsive. Although this guy doesn't have much experience in the world of mortals, he is self-taught as he continues to develop.
Of course, there are gains and losses.
What he gained was that what he did was very correct. The snakes in the valley, whether big or small or mutated, all contained spiritual power, it was just a matter of quantity. Therefore, as long as he breaks the formation and catches the snake and eats it, his cultivation can be improved.
As long as the powerful mutated snakes smell the medicine he prepared, they will only have impulsive desires. Then they will find the mother snake and kill them until they are exhausted. Zu Liming was waiting by the side, waiting until the mutated snake was exhausted before stepping forward to take advantage.
Well, these snakes have enjoyed everything they should enjoy during their lives, and even died under peonies, so there is no regrets, right? Zu Liming thought so, while not forgetting to add some spices to the snake.
As for eating snakes in the valley, which can only be cooked simply, Zu Liming said there is nothing wrong with it. As for food, the mountain people in the southwest naturally have their own spice mix, and the snakes they make are naturally very delicious. There is no problem even if there is no pot. Just like now, there are no pots and stoves in the valley. Zu Liming uses stone slabs to make stone-roasted snake meat. It is still delicious.
Even if there were no chili peppers a thousand years ago, he just happened to find some mustard greens, crush them with stones, and roast them on the snake meat. It was still very spicy.
As for the losses, some of the snakes looked weak and had been impulsive for a long time after smelling the herbs he prepared. But when he caught him, he learned what it was to look beyond appearances.
It went directly from a weak state to full of vitality, and then rushed up and bit him. Not only was it very powerful, but the snake venom was also very powerful. There are even some mutated snakes that are not as long as him, but they still want to devour them in one bite.
This is when Zu Liming is looking for targets to attack, he always looks for snakes that have no mutations, or whose mutations are not obvious. He is still very weak now, so he can only pick on weak snakes.
At this time, I also encountered several dangers.
If it weren't for the pills that Zu Liming found in the valley, and the special poison-avoiding techniques and rescue methods of the Beast Taming Sect, he might have died.
But even if he finally survived, his body was affected by the snake venom and began to change again. The biggest change was his face, which had become beyond recognition due to the influence of toxins.
This is also because some snakes are not only able to bite people, but also have the ability to spray venom. The venom spraying ability is also very powerful and can spray the venom in the venom sac dozens of meters away. The venom was also highly toxic, which caused Zu Liming's exposed skin to be severely damaged, especially his face, which was corroded and pitted.
Fortunately, he had encountered this situation before. Before being rescued by Ayaka, he also suffered from skin ulcers due to the effects of toxins and so on.
So when I was able to learn to be a witch doctor, I focused on learning the knowledge of removing toxins. Because of this, although the skin on the body, especially the bitten places, and the exposed parts of the face, became a little unrecognizable, but in the end I survived. Come down.
He survived, and those snakes naturally became food in his mouth.
Not only did he contribute snake meat to fill his stomach, but he also contributed a body of spiritual energy so that he could practice and improve.
The snakes in the valley have been in bad luck since Zu Liming fell. They are either eaten or waiting on the way to be eaten. If the valleys were not separated by formations, Zu Liming's behavior might have caused the snakes in the valley to go berserk, and then all the snakes would attack in groups.
In this way, Zu Liming relied on water to grind his time, eating snake meat and spiritual plants while consuming the energy of the formation, breaking the formation, and slowly improving his own strength.
Three years later!
Zu Liming climbed out of the valley with the flame of revenge.
At this time, he already had the strength of the fifth level of Qi training. But because of being in a hurry and practicing non-stop, except for sleeping, its body was riddled with holes, and there was even snake venom in the body that had not been cleaned out. The whole body was covered in darkness, like a monster crawling out of a ghost. .
Although his strength is not very high, he no longer wants to and cannot wait any longer. He wanted to rescue Ayaka from the fire, so the sooner the better.
When Ayajia was arrested, a person would know what she would face after being arrested. Therefore, the sooner the better, and Ayaka can be rescued from the fire.
But Zu Liming tried his best and practiced regardless, but it also took three years!
In three years, everything has changed! After he climbed out, everything he saw was in ruins. Three years ago, he fell from the cliff of the back mountain into the valley. Now after returning to the previous village, all we see is ruins.
Even if there are a few wild mountain people farming, they are just using some old houses that were not destroyed and cultivating a few acres of fields. Everything else has already faded away!
Looking at everything in front of him, apart from regret, Zu Liming only had the thought of rescuing Ayajia and killing the playboy.
A few wild mountain people working in the fields saw Zu Liming, who was covered in darkness and half-clothed, who looked more like wild mountain people than they did. They were so frightened that they hid immediately. Let Zu Liming originally wanted to ask anyone, but he couldn't find anyone.
However, these wild mountain people don't know much information, and they are all people who are not accepted by the village.
Therefore, if you want to find out the information, you need to go to the chieftain to find out the information.
After going around in circles, Zu Liming came to the village where the chieftain was.
Although this is a cottage, it is a very large and open cottage. It can even be said to be equivalent to a small county town in the mountains.
It is bustling with mountain people, who come here to trade mountain products, buy salt and so on. There are more people, which also means that he can hide himself and not be so obviously exposed.
After making inquiries from many parties and even spending some money, he spent money everywhere to find people to get information.
As for how he got the finance, he has the strength of the fifth level of Qi training, so it is naturally very easy to obtain finance.
If you see a team transporting salt in the mountains and forests, especially if the transaction has been completed, just rob them. Of course, he would not rob some teams of mountain people selling salt. Those who robbed them were those who had many weapons and the escorts were all men with vicious faces.
These are basically toast people selling salt secretly. He didn't feel any pressure to rob these things.
In the end, his hard work paid off and he got some relevant information about Ayajia.
