Chapter 46: 【Divine Soul Advancement, Beast Taming Investigation】 (Third update, seeking follow-up...)

It took a full seven hours; this kind of torment was not just physical, but also psychological.

But the harvest was also huge.

Worthy of being the essence blood of a Golden Core monster beast; with the help of the supernatural power, he directly reached the late stage of the third level of Demon Blood True Body, and his physical strength touched the threshold of a top-grade Dharma artifact, already comparable to a superior-grade Dharma artifact!

With sufficient physical strength, Lu Chengtong could take the Golden Core Dao Fruit without worrying about the divine soul being too strong and causing damage to the body.

Immediately, he took out the Supernatural Power Dao Fruit from the middle-stage Golden Core Fire Vulture Demon King and swallowed it.

He had long possessed this 【Spring Breeze Turns to Rain】 supernatural power, and the Demon King had only just obtained the supernatural power, so there was naturally not much insight.

But the divine soul power was real; after fusing it, Lu Chengtong's divine soul level immediately broke through the limitation of the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and grew step by step to the middle stage of the Golden Core realm.

The powerful divine sense of the Golden Core realm gave him a feeling that the whole world was clearer.

The process of continuous cultivation improvement is actually the process of having a clearer understanding of the world.

Both the five senses and the sixth sense had been developed.

Golden Core divine soul power meant that Lu Chengtong could use supernatural powers at the Golden Core level; for example, using the 【Soul-Stealing and Soul-Seizing】 supernatural power, he could pose a threat and harm to Golden Core cultivators.

Of course, for now, the most important thing was that he himself could use the 【Round Light Manifestation】 supernatural power to find clues.

Following the traces found five days ago, Lu Chengtong attempted to discover how Hou Zhao obtained that blood-colored pill.

But after checking the images for several days, he found nothing.

This meant that Hou Zhao obtained the pill a long time ago.

The origin of the pill was not the most important thing now; he should use the remaining divine soul power to check where he went first.

Lu Chengtong immediately checked the images after Hou Zhao left the Ziyao Immortal Sect.

After Hou Zhao left the Immortal Sect, he came to an inconspicuous small city under the Immortal Sect; this small city was called "Liuguang City." Lu Chengtong passed by when he went out, and there was only a Qi Refining level immortal cultivation family in it, with nothing special.

Hou Zhao arrived in the city and came to room number seven of the Ding character in an inn, where there was actually a teleportation array.

After leaving through the teleportation array, Lu Chengtong lost Hou Zhao's clues.

Hou Zhao's significance to Lu Chengtong was different from other tool people. After thinking for a while, Lu Chengtong decided to go and investigate.

He did not intend to go to the other

He was completely in the dark about the situation on the other side of the teleportation array; he absolutely could not take such a huge risk.

He carried the blood feud of his family and the hope of its revival on his shoulders; he could not die.

After thinking it over repeatedly, he found a beast-taming technique in the Treasure Mirror that he had previously obtained from the sect's Library Hall.

As for methods of beast taming, what the Lu Family possessed didn't even count as the fur; at most, it was dandruff.

Therefore, he had no complete control over the White Ape; the two of them getting along was more like being friends.

Although the White Ape was loyal to him, it had placed itself in the position of an old servant.

The content that these Inner Disciples of the Ziyao Immortal Sect could view was also just the surface, but it was enough.

For instance, this control technique in his hand called the 【Soul-Scattering Talisman】; once this talisman seal was condensed within a demonic beast's body, the beast tamer could scatter the spirit beast's soul with a single thought, causing it to vanish into thin air.

This overbearing and crude spell had huge drawbacks.

The drawback was that once the demonic beast's soul cultivation exceeded that of the beast tamer, it would form a backlash; the minimum level of backlash would leave the beast tamer's divine soul unstable, and if the backlash were strong, it would be enough to annihilate the beast tamer's divine soul in an instant.

Moreover, once it reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, it could break free from the control of the 【Soul-Scattering Talisman】.

The Spirit Transformation Realm reshapes the divine soul; such low-end things cannot continue to maintain control.

Lu Chengtong only needed a spirit beast to help him investigate the situation on the other side of the teleportation array; these problems did not need to be considered.

After spending more than a day, he finally mastered the application of the 【Soul-Scattering Talisman】 preliminarily.

Caiyi Peak sold spirit pets, among which there was one specifically used for scouting danger, named the 'Talking Bird'; its appearance was similar to a parrot, it was good at learning, could imitate biological sounds, and could speak, earning it the title of 'tape recorder among birds'.

This creature was also a type of bird capable of mental attacks, generally possessing cultivation at the early stage of the Qi Refining Realm, with a wingspan of over half a meter, and feathers that were yellowish-brown with black-purple stripes.

The Talking Birds raised by Caiyi Peak not only had these abilities but could also identify many types of toxins and provide early warnings.

At the same time, they also applied a spell called 【Same Light Art】 to the Talking Bird and a bronze mirror.

This spell could transmit the visual perception of one creature to another target individual, which could be a person or a special Dharma artifact, such as that bronze mirror.

In this way, a beast tamer could view some dangerous places through the eyes of the Talking Bird.

In fact, Lu Chengtong did not know that Yan Zhe within the Treasure Mirror could share all the perceptions of every host, including but not limited to sight and hearing.

Yan Zhe would not expose this ability of his, because it would cause the person holding the Treasure Mirror to develop a sense of estrangement and distance from him.

This set of things for the Talking Bird was naturally not cheap, but for Lu Chengtong, it was not a difficult task.

He bought a second-layer Qi Refining Realm Talking Bird and two spirit beast bags.

A spirit beast bag is a type of storage equipment that is twice as expensive as a storage bag.

The "twice as expensive" mentioned here refers to the same volume of space.

The lowest-level spirit beast bag is the one that is one zhang square, but the second level directly reaches five zhang square.

Good spirit beast bags are more expensive than spirit beasts of the same volume!

The ones Lu Chengtong bought were all five zhang square, kept for potential future use.

His spirit stones were almost exhausted after this shopping trip; if he wanted to buy things again, he would need to process the demonic beast materials in his hands first.

Returning to the cave abode, he first used the 【Soul-Scattering Talisman】 to control the Talking Bird, communicated with it for a quarter of an hour, and after confirming its level of intelligence, Lu Chengtong took out a Divine Ability Fruit of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Realm.

What it contained was the 【Submerged Abyss Earth Escape】 divine ability.

After eating this thing, this bird could go to the sky, escape into the earth, and go into the sea; it was simply capable of going anywhere.

The Divine Ability Fruit contained rich divine soul power and also developed the intelligence of this Talking Bird.

Its soul fluctuations were clearly more rhythmic; this was a manifestation of thinking.

With this divine ability, its survival ability was greatly improved; Lu Chengtong immediately set off for Liuguang City and soon arrived at that inn.

He did not take that room but instead had the waiter choose one for him on the same floor.

These rooms were all on the same floor; Lu Chengtong secretly escaped into it in the middle of the night.

He had checked; there were no warning arrays around, only this one teleportation array existed.

However, when he controlled the Talking Bird to come to the side of the teleportation array, he discovered that the teleportation array did not react at all.

Lu Chengtong suddenly thought that this thing should have some kind of triggering device.

After his expression changed for a while, he used the 【Embryonic Transformation】 divine ability to change his appearance and aura, simultaneously changed into a set of clothes, and then sought out the waiter who had led the way for Hou Zhao that day.
