After walking for a while, my eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and I saw that the cave should be a natural cave. There were only some common stalactites accumulated on the top of the cave.
Jining continued to walk forward, and the sound of dripping water came from the cave. Following the sound, Jining saw an open space with the size of several rooms appearing around the corner of Rongdong. The open space was very clean. Except for a few smooth stones, one of the smooth stones still had the fruit left after eating the fruit. Yes, it seems that this is where black bears usually live.
Following the sound of dripping water, I saw a small pool, one foot square, in a corner of the cave. There is a trickle of spring water dripping down the rock wall, and the water from the small pool seeps away through the cracks in the rocks on the side. Xiao Lu jumped excitedly by the pool and kept drinking the water from the mountain spring.
Jining was seriously injured in the battle with the black bear just now and lost a lot of blood. However, his body did not feel anything special due to the mental stress. Seeing the spring water in the pool, Jining felt a little tired and thirsty.
Seeing Xiao Lu so excited, Jining guessed that there must be something special about this mountain spring water. He stepped forward and picked up a handful of spring water with his uninjured right hand and put it into his mouth. The cold spring water seeped down his throat and into his internal organs. Jining's spirit was shaken, and most of the pain and fatigue in Jining's body disappeared.
"Hey" Jining almost jumped up in surprise. Could this be the spiritual spring mentioned in the Book of Mountains and Seas? So he picked up another handful of spring water and tasted the mountain spring water carefully. Jining felt that after the mountain spring water penetrated into the internal organs, a ray of coolness was produced and followed the meridians to the Dantian. The ray of coolness was very subtle. You can't find it even if you feel it.
A smile appeared on Jining's face, and he roughly guessed why the black bear could become a monster. He secretly said in his heart that the trip was well worth it! Through the introduction in Shanhaiqilu, Jining also had a little understanding of some of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the world of immortality. Jining guessed that this should be the lowest level spiritual spring or a mountain spring with a hint of spiritual energy, but it still couldn't be compared with the real spiritual spring.
But for the monks in the Immortal Abandoned Land, to be able to encounter such a heavenly material and earthly treasure as Lingquan, even though it is the lowest level Lingquan, is definitely a great opportunity for the monks.
Jining was a little excited, and continued to drink some water from the spiritual spring, and then meditated to regain his strength.
Only then did I think of the black bear corpse outside the cave. It was also mentioned in the Qilu of Mountains and Seas that the flesh and blood of monster beasts would enhance the physical strength of human monks. In particular, some body-refining monks specifically looked for the flesh and blood of monster beasts as food. In addition, if the breath of an injured monster will attract more powerful monsters, powerful monsters can also devour other monsters to improve their own cultivation.
Although the chance of another monster appearing here is low, Jining doesn't want to take the risk. With his current physical condition, let alone a monster, ordinary beasts may not be able to resist him.
Thinking of these, Jining ignored his injuries and hurriedly got up and walked out of the cave. He dragged the black bear's body into the cave. He found some strong-smelling herbs, kneaded them into juice and spread them in the valley to cover up the smell of the demon bear's flesh and blood.
After going back and forth like this for a long time, I finally got rid of the bloody smell remaining in the valley.
Jining looked up and saw that the sun was almost setting, and the sunset on the horizon was colorful. I felt a little sad in my heart. I originally thought that I could easily deal with this seriously injured demon bear, but I didn't expect that the demon bear was so powerful that it almost killed me even though I was so seriously injured. However, being able to find this spiritual spring in the Demon Bear's cave is also a great blessing. I felt a little emotional in my heart, it was true that if you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky in the future.
Maybe he had been trying to survive just now, and his strong will to survive made him not pay attention to his injuries and physical strength. Now it suddenly became quiet, and Jining felt that his limbs were weak, tired and hungry.
As a Taoist since childhood, Jining has always been abstinent and rarely eats meat. But now that I have suffered such a serious injury and lost so much blood, if I do not supplement myogenic and blood-replenishing substances in time, there may be hidden dangers. The meat of monster beasts is the best tonic to restore the body. Looking at the huge corpse of the monster bear in the cave, Jining took a deep breath.
After struggling out of the cave, I found some dry wood near the valley and brought it back to the cave to make a fire.
Not long after, a bonfire was blazing in the cave, and a large piece of meat was roasting on the bonfire. The golden barbecue was glowing with oil. From time to time, a few drops of oil fell on the bonfire, causing sparks to explode in an instant. The aroma of barbecue filled the entire cave.
When Jining saw that the meat was almost cooked, he started to devour it. What surprised Jining was that the taste of barbecue was so wonderful, something he had never experienced before. After the roast meat entered his stomach, a wave of heat surged through his body, and Jining actually felt that the injury on his shoulder seemed to be a little better.
"Eh" This made Jining a little excited. He didn't expect that the demon bear's meat had such an effect, and he didn't care about the others who started devouring it.
After finishing his meal, Jining was still a little unsatisfied. He was a little curious about this monster bear. Could it be a third-level monster or above? Maybe with luck, I can find the inner elixir in this demon bear. So he used a broken sword to cut open the black bear's abdomen, and it was easy to cut open its abdomen with a broken sword.
However, after careful inspection in the belly of the demon bear, no so-called inner elixir was found. It seems that this demon bear should be a second-level peak or a third-level primary demon beast. In addition, perhaps the spiritual energy of the Immortal Abandonment Land is thin, making it difficult for the demon beast to survive. Produce demon elixir.
After seeing that there were no demonic beasts and demon pills, Jining ignored them and began to meditate and breathe out by the spiritual spring in the cave. Not long after meditating and breathing out, Jining discovered that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was the richest since he had practiced.
There are no years of training in the mountains. When Jining opens his eyes again, Jining has been practicing in the cave for more than half a month. Now his body is almost recovered. The wound on his left shoulder is slowly recovering after eating bear meat and the nourishment of spiritual power. middle. What surprised Jining was that after eating the demon bear meat, Jining felt that his body's strength had increased a lot and his strength had also increased.
Jining was so seriously injured that it would be difficult for him to recover normally without more than half a year. It was found that the new meat on the shoulder wound was growing rapidly after eating the meat of the demon bear and nourishing it with spiritual power. It is estimated that it should be roughly recovered in about half a month.
For more than half a month, Jining ate some demon bear meat when he was hungry and drank spiritual spring water when he was thirsty. Then he practiced day and night. His cultivation at the fourth level of Qi training was improving rapidly. Jining felt that he had now entered the Qi training stage. At the middle level of Qi stage, if you continue to practice at this speed, you should be able to reach perfection at the fourth level of Qi training in a month or two.
Thinking that I had been out for more than half a month at a time, I should go back and take care of the things arranged by the Taoist temple.
Looking at the dried bear meat in the cave, Jining saw that most of it was still there. It seemed that he couldn't take it away for a while, and the cool temperature in the cave turned out to be a good place to store things. He used the broken sword to cut off a large piece, then woke up Xiao Lu and prepared to go back.
Xiao Lu was still in a daze, which surprised Jining. Xiao Lu drank a lot of spiritual springs by the spiritual spring and then fell asleep. Jining looked carefully and found that the small green body had increased a lot. The body that was originally the size of a pigeon was now much larger than it was then, as if it were the size of a young eagle. After seeing that Jining couldn't wake him up, he guessed that the monster's bloodline had awakened, so he left it alone and prepared to go back by himself, letting it stay in the cave.
After walking out of the cave, Jining found some trees and rocks nearby and sealed the entrance of the cave to prevent other beasts from occupying the cave and affecting Xiaolu's practice.
It was summer, and Jining had been back from the cave for more than ten days. After practicing meditation, he went to the nearby water pool to take a dip and relax his body.
After Jining came back from practicing in the cave, he took a few baths in the water pool. Jining was still a little surprised. He washed his body in the water pool several times after returning to the thatched cottage and found that there was obviously a lot more dirt on his body than before. Jining speculated that the cave spiritual spring had the effect of cleaning away dirt in the body. In addition, the meat of the demon bear is also very effective in recovering injuries. When the sharp sword passed through his left shoulder, he felt that his left arm was useless. However, during this period of time, the flesh of the demon bear and the nourishment of spiritual power, now He has recovered well and can now wave his left arm lightly.
Jining's original plan was to prepare some dry food when he came back, and then explain to the deacon of the dormitory that he was leaving the Taoist temple, and then go to the cave to practice. But as soon as Jining came back, Lao Chen from the bottom of the mountain hurriedly came to him and said that he had been here several times and never saw Jining. He originally wanted to go to the Taoist temple to find someone.
As soon as Jining got to know it, he realized that this mountain field had been particularly strange recently. Many mountain beasts appeared inexplicably around it, and some of them even ran into the field to destroy crops. The farmers in the villages at the foot of the mountain were so anxious that they even organized farmers to drive them away on their own, but they were still unable to do anything. So he could only ask for help from Jining, who managed Yamada.
Jining guessed that it had something to do with the death of the demon bear. He remembered that Taoist priest Yun Fei once told him that to drive away wild beasts in the mountains, he could go to Chaotian Guanjing Hall to get some beast-repelling talismans.
So Jining hurried to Chaotian Temple, found the Jingtang and received more than ten beast-repelling charms. The deacon of the Jingtang said that he needed to find the main walking routes of wild beasts in the mountains, and then affix the beast-repelling charms to the scarecrows made by farmers. Just put it at the intersection.
He also said that if the beast-repelling talisman was still ineffective, he would have to ask the leader, Yushan Zhenren, to come forward and drive away the beasts.
After Jining agreed, he hurried back to the thatched cottage in the back mountain. After practicing to the fourth level of the Qi refining stage, his five senses were very sensitive. After walking around the mountains and forests around the mountain fields, he discovered the main walking routes of the wild beasts in the mountains, and then asked the farmers to tie them down. After placing the scarecrows, I put animal repelling charms on those scarecrows. The beast-repelling charm worked very well, and then the beasts stopped destroying the crops in the fields.
Jining was a little strange. He checked an unused animal repelling talisman and found that the runes painted on it looked familiar. Only then did he realize that they were similar to the talismans in a book that Mr. Yu had given him before. In addition, Jining actually felt that there was a trace of spiritual energy in the talisman.
