Section 41: The Spirit Snake Beauty
By: Gu Zhenren
These days, Chu Yun has been leaving him here, ignoring him. The White Bone Ghost Lord mistakenly believed that Chu Yun had chickened out, was scared, and dared not move him due to pressure from Nine Nether City.
“You dare to be so tough when death is imminent. If you weren’t still useful, I would have crushed you in the Huadao Heavenly Wall long ago.” Chu Yun sneered, too lazy to bother with this person who couldn’t recognize the situation.
He grabbed the White Bone Ghost Lord’s chin and forcefully poured three pills of the Soul Scattering Pill and three pills of the Soul Severing Pill each.
“You, what did you give me to eat?” The White Bone Ghost Lord’s arrogance vanished, and he roared in panic.
“Naturally, it’s something good,” Chu Yun said with a faint smile.
“You, you can’t kill me, Nine Nether City won’t let you go, and Marquis Wu Chang won’t either. You can’t escape, you can’t escape! No, that’s not right, you want to control me with poisoned pills and make me work for you! You’re so young, yet you have such vicious intentions!” The White Bone Ghost Lord roared repeatedly, struggling violently. The roars mixed with the clanging of chains, echoing in the prison cell.
“A Jun level expert, such a condensed soul. I gave him six pills, and he’s still not completely disintegrated,” Chu Yun said, secretly marveling at the White Bone Ghost Lord’s ferocious struggle.
With his ability, taking one Soul Scattering Pill and one Soul Severing Pill would immediately lead to a state of confusion, followed by a coma for a day and a night before the soul gradually reunites and awakens.
He never expected the White Bone Ghost Lord to be unfazed after taking these pills.
“Hegemons, upon advancing to the Jun level, is a significant watershed in the power system of Monster Tamers. The most obvious sign is that at the Jun level, Monster Tamers can actively emit spiritual pressure to suppress wild demonic creatures and roam freely in the wild, even without a single demonic creature by their side.”
“Indeed, for Xingzhou as a whole, Hegemon level Monster Tamers are still quite common. However, Jun level ones are becoming scarce. This is a qualitative leap. If one can advance to the Jun level, they can truly be considered to have entered the hall and taken a place among the lower ranks of experts.”
“Young Master Chu Yun, six pills are not enough, feed him more. I am confident in the efficacy of the medicine.”
The voices of the Immortal Consorts echoed in Chu Yun’s mind.
“I was thinking the same thing.” Chu Yun took out the medicine bottle again and forcefully poured more pills into the White Bone Ghost Lord’s mouth, forcing him to swallow them.
Finally, half a bottle of pills were consumed before the White Bone Ghost Lord fell into a deep coma, his soul temporarily dispersed.
Spirit Snake!
A bridge was built between their spiritual lights, and Chu Yun continuously absorbed the White Bone Ghost Lord’s spiritual light.
The spiritual light of a Hegemon was like a house in size. The spiritual light of a Jun level, however, advanced by leaps and bounds, as large as a palace in the dark space!
Chu Yun’s spiritual light, absorbed from the Mad Confucian General, was also at the Hegemon level. But it was incomparable to the White Bone Ghost Lord; the total amount of Chu Yun’s spiritual light for ten people wouldn’t match that of the White Bone Ghost Lord.
However, now, this spiritual light was being absorbed by Chu Yun at a rapid pace.
Half an hour later, Chu Yun’s spiritual light had expanded by a full tenth of its total volume.
Don’t underestimate this tenth. For Chu Yun to grow slowly, it would take a year!
Now, with the Spirit Snake, Chu Yun exchanged half an hour for a year’s worth of hard work.
However, Chu Yun was still somewhat dissatisfied with this absorption speed: “The spiritual light of a Jun level expert seems to have undergone a mysterious change. At the original speed, I should have absorbed more in half an hour. I didn’t expect that the Jun level spiritual light would be more tightly condensed and difficult to absorb!”
An hour later, the White Bone Ghost Lord woke up.
“My spiritual light, the spiritual light within my body! What did you do to me? You demon!” He was in a panic, realizing his situation immediately. He finally understood Chu Yun’s plan and was completely terrified.
Chu Yun ignored him, threw him into a corner, closed the prison door, and left in silence.
I have to say, the soul strength of a Jun level expert once again shocked him a little.
He couldn’t help but frown; this wouldn’t do.
He estimated that at this absorption rate, he would need more than ten sessions to completely absorb the White Bone Ghost Lord’s spiritual light, consuming a lot of Soul Scattering Pills and Soul Severing Pills in the process.
These two types of pills were Upper grade and very precious. Most importantly, the medicinal ingredients for their refinement were unique and rare. Even with the Dunhuang Royal Family opening the national treasury, it would definitely not be enough.
The main producing area of these medicinal ingredients was the Ghost Vine Country, the island country where Nine Nether City was located. It was very far from here, and the Ghost Vine Country enforced a policy of isolation, making it difficult to obtain these ingredients.
“It seems I need to raise the cultivation of the Spirit Snake to another level,” Chu Yun sighed, muttering to himself.
Moreover, as Jin Bihan mentioned yesterday, once the Spirit Snake grew to the Tribulation Demon level, it could be used in combat. If used at the right time, it could even directly snatch other demonic creatures.
Every time he thought of this scenario, Chu Yun’s heart burned with excitement.
But to improve the Spirit Snake’s cultivation, soul crystals were necessary.
Soul crystals were rare, but Chu Yun still had a large amount left. In Night Emperor City, he had obtained a carriage-sized soul crystal, a treasure of immeasurable value.
At that time, he had raised the Spirit Snake’s cultivation to the peak of Great Demon. Due to the actual situation not being suitable for tribulation, he had stopped the advancement. In fact, not much of the soul crystal had been consumed.
Chu Yun understood the principle of sharpening the axe not delaying the woodcutting.
Leaving the prison, he immediately decided to advance the Spirit Snake’s cultivation. The Dunhuang Palace had a special Tribulation Plaza with exquisite and comprehensive facilities, ensuring the success of royal family members in their advancements.
Chu Yun came here without any obstruction. He was a distinguished guest of the Dunhuang Royal Family, and the Dunhuang Princess had issued another decree the previous night before sleeping, allowing Chu Yun to move freely within the imperial palace.
The Spirit Snake’s Spirit Demon Tribulation was a Primordial Chaos Scattered Spirit Tribulation. Its power was bizarre and terrifying, with dense tribulation clouds covering the entire royal city, unleashing thousands of black and white light columns with immense power.
Fortunately, Chu Yun possessed the Dao Transformation Technique. By using its Light Transformation, Wind Transformation, and Ice Transformation scrolls, he managed to overcome the danger and achieve safety.
“The tribulation of heavenly beasts like the Spirit Snake is much more powerful than ordinary demonic creatures. I have six Destiny Demonic Treasures on me, yet I still had to face such a powerful heavenly tribulation. If not for the Dao Transformation Technique, I would have been in a very sorry state.”
Chu Yun sighed, realizing how useful the Dao Transformation Technique was indeed.
The complete version of the Dao Transformation Technique not only covered all elements like gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and thunder, but also could transform bones, blood, skin, and flesh. It had even touched upon the domains of time and space. As long as one’s cultivation was high enough, the Dao Transformation Technique could render all spatial and temporal Dao methods useless.
However, the Dao Transformation Technique also had its flaws. Demonic creatures with insufficient wisdom could hardly master it completely. In other words, it required very high spiritual light from the demonic creature.
Even a Sky Fox, at the peak of Spirit Demon, could not master the complete Dao Transformation Technique. It would at least require a cultivation of nearly a million years, reaching the Tribulation Demon level, before it was possible.
Chu Yun stopped only after using the soul crystals until only a palm-sized piece remained. The Spirit Snake’s cultivation had soared to the peak Spirit Demon level.
She transformed into human form, beautiful and captivating, infinitely charming. Her long hair cascaded down to her hips, her skin like ice and bones like jade. She wore a verdant green long dress, her figure graceful. Especially her waist, slender and delicate, swaying like a willow in the wind.
“Master.” She glided over, bowed to Chu Yun, her voice not as soft as the Sky Fox’s, but very magnetic and sexy, making one’s heart flutter.
This was an absolute beauty, with an angelic face and a devilish figure. In terms of appearance, only the Sky Fox could rival her. She was also on par with Jin Bihan, with their own unique charms.
Chu Yun was overjoyed and smiled, helping the snake beauty up. He held her hands, feeling their smoothness like exquisite jade.
The Spirit Snake looked boldly at Chu Yun, her beautiful eyes full of enchantment, rippling with a mesmerizing charm.
“This time, you must absorb vigorously for me, understand?” Chu Yun gently instructed.
“Understood, Master,” the Spirit Snake nodded her head lightly.
Back in the prison cell, the White Bone Ghost Lord saw Chu Yun and became extremely agitated, cursing and roaring, putting on a brave front despite his fear.
Chu Yun’s expression was cold. He forcefully poured the remaining two bottles of pills into its mouth, making it fall unconscious again.
This time, the absorption of spiritual light was rapid. The Spirit Snake’s profound power caused Chu Yun’s internal spiritual light to grow rapidly, bringing with it waves of pleasure that almost made Chu Yun lose control.
An hour later, Chu Yun slowly awoke. His internal spiritual light had grown to the size of two rooms. It had more than doubled its previous size.
“You demon, you villain!!!” The White Bone Ghost Lord roared hysterically upon regaining consciousness. His hair was disheveled, and he showed no trace of the Jun level expert he once was.
Chu Yun laughed heartily and strode away. This time, he had effectively absorbed the spiritual light of another Mad Confucian General. He finally had the capital to control a Tribulation Demon.
He didn’t want the Star Picking Glove. Since Xiao Xiaoxian had pledged his loyalty, he would let him have it. The glove would be more effective in his hands than in Chu Yun’s.
Chu Yun, however, intended to advance one of his peak Spirit Demons to the Tribulation Demon level!
The Hurricane Bow had limited potential, and its cultivation had reached its peak, so it was not considered. The Drunken Snow Saber’s blade had been corroded by Dark Shadow, leaving only a small part; how to repair it remained a headache.
The Colorless Rainbow Demon was severely injured and near death. It had been handed over to the Immortal Consorts for care and was out of danger. The Immortal Consorts were treating it daily with pills, and the Rainbow Demon was slowly recovering.
The Sky Fox, Spirit Snake, Lishan Dragon Eye Flower Branch, Revolving Pill Yuan Tree, Swift Grass Shoes, Life Spring Imperial Seal, and the five Destiny Demonic Treasures within the Five Virtues Wheel are all Tribulation Demons. Which one should be advanced?
This was a matter that required careful consideration and thorough planning.
Tribulation Demon tribulations were no small matter and were closely related to the inherent attributes of the demonic creature. The chance of successfully passing was very low. Chu Yun originally had no confidence, but with the Dao Transformation Technique in hand, he gained some assurance.
(Three chapters completed. Merry Christmas Eve, everyone!)
