The baby python's eyes were still stained with mucus and could not be opened. There was a mass of bloody flesh not far from its nest, which was the body of a pockmarked man.
The young python kept sniffing and moved closer to the mass of flesh and blood.
"Fortunately, it hasn't had time to eat the body of this pockmarked man. Otherwise, if I eat this young python again, I will definitely have a shadow in my heart!" Qin Ziling secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then thought, there was an invisible shadow in the void. It fell on the head of the young python.
The young python suddenly froze and stopped moving.
"Fortunately, this young python has not yet matured and is very weak. I can use the divine soul suppression method to directly suppress it. Otherwise, if it were an adult Bahuang green python, its whole body's energy and blood would be burning like a raging fire. I'm afraid that I would be able to use this method to suppress it. It's about to be burned down and destroyed as soon as it gets close."
Seeing that the young python was restrained by the soul suppression technique, Qin Ziling set off a gust of dark wind and swept the young python back towards the original path.
Before leaving, Qin Ziling glanced at the other entrance of the cave, and now he understood why a third-grade exotic beast like the Eight Wilds Green Python appeared in a relatively peripheral area.
There are many strong people and dangers in the deep mountains, which is not suitable for it to give birth, so it will find this place to give birth.
I just didn't expect that something like this would happen, and it would lead to death.
He rolled up the young python and returned to the valley, where his spirit returned to his body.
I don't know when the moon was obscured by thick clouds again, and suddenly it started to snow like goose feathers.
Qin Ziling looked at the heavy snow falling one after another. The originally messy valley was soon covered with a layer of silver clothes again. Before long, the traces of the previous fight would be completely covered by the white snow.
"This is good, so that the people in Xujiabao will not be unwilling to find out that the Bahuang Green Python has been benefited by someone else, and they will be the first to get there, and they will investigate secretly. Although they are unlikely to investigate me no matter how they investigate, there is still one less person. There is a risk of leakage." Seeing this, Qin Ziling raised a smile on his lips, took out a sack from the corpse ring, and put the baby python in it.
The baby python is a living creature and cannot be put into the corpse-rearing ring. Of course, even if the baby python is dead, there are three large bronze corpses eyeing the corpse-rearing ring. Qin Ziling would not dare to put the baby python into the corpse-rearing ring.
After putting the young python into the sack, Qin Ziling thought for a while, then took out a snow wolf that was caught tonight from the corpse ring, and put it into the sack together. The head of this snow wolf was cut off flatly, exuding a trace of pungent smell. The smell of blood.
"With the smell of snow wolf body and blood, it should be able to cover up the smell of the young python." Qin Ziling thought to himself, threw the sack over his shoulder, and walked towards a hiding place at a fast pace.
He had hunted many ferocious birds and beasts in the past seven days, but the corpse ring was not suitable for storing the bodies of these wild animals for a long time, so Qin Ziling found a special hiding place to store the prey.
These prey were much more valuable than what he had previously hunted in Xisheng Mountain, including cloud-patterned white tigers, blood-furred bears, golden-patterned leopards, etc., which together should be worth nearly a thousand taels of silver.
Qin Ziling naturally wanted to take it away.
After finding the hiding place and putting the wild animals into the corpse ring, Qin Ziling carried a sack on his back and headed west over the mountains and ridges.
The Wuyang Mountains are located to the east of Fangshan City.
The snow has been falling, and when Qin Ziling was about to walk out of Wuyang Mountain, it should have been dawn, but the sky was covered with heavy snow, the cold wind was howling, and the world was still gray.
Standing halfway up a mountain peak, Qin Ziling saw at the foot of the mountain, in the wind and snow, a group of people on horseback, galloping towards Wuyang Mountain.
The first two were riding leopard-headed horses, with clouds of smoke forming under their hooves, as if they were walking on clouds and mist. They were Xu Pengkun and his son.
The Clouded Leopard Horse is a domesticated first-class exotic beast. When it runs, it is like flying on clouds, with lightning speed.
In Fangshan City, only figures of Xu Pengkun and his son's level are qualified to ride.
"Sorry, I have to trouble you all to make this trip in vain!" Qin Ziling muttered to himself, and then continued down the mountain.
The forest was very big, and Xu Pengkun, his son, and others were obviously running towards another mountain entrance, so Qin Ziling didn't have to worry about running into them.
…
In the late winter night, everything is silent.
Anhe Village was dark, and the lights in the east wing of the Qin family compound were still on.
Qin Ziling was sitting at the desk, reading a book word by word.
The scroll he was flipping through was one of the two Gongyangmu scrolls, The Evergreen Gong of Green Wood.
Next to Qin Ziling's desk, there is a large water tank. In the large water tank, there is a small green python, which is the Bahuang Green Python.
At this time, the young python curled up into a ball, with its head buried deep in the python's body, motionless except for its weak breathing.
It was already evening when Qin Ziling returned home from Wuyang Mountain.
Qin Ziling found a large water tank, put the little python in it, and placed it in his house. He ate dinner in a hurry, told his family not to disturb him, and then locked himself in the house.
Qin Ziling hasn't figured out how to deal with the baby python of the Eight Wilderness Jade Python.
He definitely wouldn't dare to raise it. This thing was just born and was suppressed by him using the Soul Suppression Technique. It looked like a good baby. But the Bahuang Green Python is cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, and if it really grows up, his soul-suppressing technique won't be able to suppress its ferocious nature.
Moreover, raising exotic animals is completely different from raising chickens and ducks. The things they eat are much more valuable than humans. They are simply gold-eating beasts.
But if he didn't raise it and just ate it like this, it would be a waste of meat and blood. Qin Ziling felt that it was too wasteful.
This is a third-grade exotic beast!
During this period, Qin Ziling thought of Xiao Qing.
Last time on Zheng Xinghan's birthday, Lu Taiqiang mentioned that Xiao Qing needed the Eight Wilds Jade Python to recover her cultivation.
With the financial and material resources of the Xiao family, there shouldn't be any problem raising a third-grade exotic beast, and as a big family, they should also have the experience and methods to tame exotic beasts.
It's just that the Bahuang Jade Python is not a trivial matter after all. If he hadn't learned from Lu Taiqiang that Xiao Qing was a very good character, Qin Ziling would not have considered giving the Bahuang Jade Python to her based on her little kindness.
Of course, if there is a guarantee of character, it will be different.
With Xiao Qing's identity and her past talents, once Xiao Qing borrows the Bahuang Jade Python to restore her cultivation, she will definitely have great power in the Xiao family. In this way, Qin Ziling, a little man from a poor family, secretly had a big backer in Fangshang City.
Not only that, with Xiao Qing's path, it will be easier for him to purchase many of the resources he will need for his future cultivation, and it will not attract other people's attention.
Qin Ziling knew very well that the path he was going to take in the future was very special, requiring a huge amount of resources, and his methods were shady, so the best way was to find a collaborator who he could fully trust and who had the identity and ability. You can hide behind the scenes with peace of mind and low profile.
Xiao Qing is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate.
Of course, all this is still under Qin Ziling's consideration and the final decision has not been made yet, so Qin Ziling temporarily raised the young Bahuang Jade Python in the tank and used the Soul Suppression Technique to suppress its ferocity. Give it some time to think it over carefully before making a decision.
"No wonder there are far fewer qi refining warlocks than martial arts practitioners in this world. The requirement for spiritual roots alone has directly eliminated most of them." Qin Ziling slowly closed the "Everlasting Blue Wood Technique" book and fell into deep thought.
According to the records of "Bi Mu Chang Qing Gong", Qi refining magicians can be divided into realms such as eating Qi and unblocking meridians, removing waste and retaining essence, extracting truth, true power, true essence, magic essence, etc. There are even higher realms, but this There is no record in this volume.
In fact, the book "Evergreen Gong" is not complete. It only records the realm of true essence. The magic essence mentioned in it has no cultivation method.
However, the subsequent exercises are currently of little significance to Qin Ziling.
For him, the most important thing now is whether he and Yin Ran Yue, especially Yin Ran Yue, have the spiritual roots and innate understanding to refine Qi.
If they don't have the spiritual roots and innate understanding of Qi refining, this "Everlasting Green Technique" will be useless to them no matter how complete it is.
Ever since seeing Liu Xiaoqiang's breakthrough to the cowhide level and the duel between Qin Ziling and Liu Xiaoqiang, Yin Ranyue had started thinking about practicing martial arts.
In this troubled world, Yin Ranyue is a woman, and she has this ambition to make progress. Qin Ziling actually agrees with it.
However, practicing Cold Iron Palm is not only difficult, but also after long-term practice, the palms will become rough and wide, and the human muscles and frame will develop in a strong and burly direction.
Yin Ranyue is pretty and pretty, with a slender and graceful figure and just the right proportions. She looks like a beauty. If she turns into a tall and thick man because of martial arts training, Qin Ziling will naturally not want to.
Qin Ziling disagreed with Yin Ranyue's practice of Cold Iron Palm, and Yin Ranyue was naturally depressed until Qin Ziling explained to her that her hands and figure might be out of shape by practicing Cold Iron Palm. In the future, he would help her find a martial arts suitable for women. , only then did the printing and dyeing month's worries turn into joy.
"Everlasting Blue Wood Technique" is a wood-type Qi refining technique. If you practice it successfully, you can not only perform mysterious techniques, but also increase your life span and maintain your appearance. Compared with ordinary martial arts, it is obviously many times more suitable for dyeing the moon.
Of course, the premise is that Yin Ran Yue has wood spirit roots and the innate understanding of cultivation.
According to what is said at the beginning of the book, everything in the world is composed of yin and yang and the five elements, and humans are no exception.
Some people can easily absorb the wood spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which means they have wood spiritual roots. They can easily absorb water spiritual energy, which means they have water spiritual roots. If they can absorb two kinds of five element spiritual energy relatively easily at the same time, they have double spiritual roots. Three kinds of people have three spiritual roots. , four are the four spiritual roots, and five are the five spiritual roots.
A single spiritual root is the easiest to cultivate, followed by double spiritual roots, then three spiritual roots, and the subsequent four spiritual roots and five spiritual roots, which may seem numerous and awesome, are actually mixed spiritual roots. , not suitable for practicing Taoist Qi refining techniques.
The vast majority of people in the world have mixed spiritual roots, and only a handful of people have single, double or triple spiritual roots.
