“I didn't expect you to be an advanced demon refiner, using demon vines as your natal demon spirit is quite rare.”
Ding Ruozhao suddenly turned to look at Zhang Ling, her beautiful eyes flickering as she stared at his left arm, and said.
“Hehe, you could say that. Isn't the Fairy hiding something as well?”
Zhang Ling replied without changing his expression and didn't say anything more.
Zhang Ling glanced at his left arm, gently shaking it a few times. His left arm was a mottled mix of blue and red, with throbbing pain.
What this woman said was right. The vine armor he used to block the golden sword light was a secret technique of demon refining.
Although demon refiners are different from cultivators, they are also a branch of the path of immortality. Their cultivation method relies on the power of demons, but their cultivation techniques, like those of cultivators, are also divided into different attribute types.
His use of the strange vines parasitizing his body to cast vine armor is a wood-attribute demon refining technique. This method itself is a common technique for demon refiners and is not considered rare.
As for what this woman called a natal demon spirit, it actually refers to the vines parasitizing him.
A natal demon spirit, simply put, is the demon spirit that a demon refiner has fused with. If a demon refiner wants to use demon transformation techniques, they must fuse with the demon soul or flesh of a demon beast.
Once a demon soul is completely fused with a demon refiner, it cannot be changed. In a way, a natal demon spirit is the demon refiner's natal possession, similar to a natal magic weapon refined by ordinary cultivators.
Once a demon soul is chosen, it basically cannot be changed. Of course, a demon refiner's natal demon soul can also be strengthened by devouring demon souls of other demon beasts.
This is also a major reason why demon refiners often value high-level demon souls. The stronger the natal demon spirit, the greater the increase in strength from the demon transformation techniques.
Like the Azure Python Daoist they fought before, whose lower body had completely transformed into a snake's body, this was the result of using a demon transformation technique to become a half-demon.
Ding Ruozhao regarded the strange vines coiling around Zhang Ling's arm as his natal demon spirit.
Zhang Ling naturally wouldn't explain further. After taking a pill, he focused on circulating his energy to heal himself. After a while, his complexion improved a lot.
Ding Ruozhao also found a clean place nearby to sit and recover from her previous exhaustion.
This woman not only hid that token, but the shuttle she took out later required a large amount of spiritual power to activate. Zhang Ling estimated that it was definitely not an ordinary item.
Combined with the two Golden Core cultivators, it took more than ten breaths to activate it.
And the speed of the shuttle after being activated was extremely fast, you could say it was a hundred miles in an instant. In a short half cup of tea time, they arrived thousands of miles away.
Zhang Ling felt envious of such a treasure.
However, he didn't have any ulterior motives. Not to mention the relationship between the two, Ding Ruozhao's strength was also extremely strong.
……
In the blink of an eye, more than a day had passed.
In an unnamed cave, Zhang Ling excitedly examined the treasures in several storage bags in front of him.
At this moment, he was holding a white, long-necked jade bottle. The jade bottle was only an inch high, and it contained a ball of milky white liquid.
Zhang Ling took a deep breath and gently sniffed it, and immediately felt refreshed. A strand of very pure spiritual power was absorbed into his body.
Feeling the pure spiritual power filling his meridians, Zhang Ling came back to his senses, quickly put the stopper back on the bottle, and attached two more spiritual talismans to prevent the loss of spiritual power.
The milky white liquid inside was a good thing. This liquid was earth vein spiritual milk.
He and Ding Ruozhao had separated two hours ago. Before separating, this woman wanted a lot of earth vein spiritual milk from him.
Although Zhang Ling wanted to refuse, he eventually shared some. Although he was not a good person, Ding Ruozhao deserved most of the credit for their safe escape.
He naturally couldn't refuse, and it was understandable that Ding Ruozhao took some of the earth vein spiritual milk.
At that time, he used a vine to absorb all the remaining spiritual milk from the pool where the Spirit Eye Divine Tree was located.
In fact, there was only a little bit of residual spiritual milk left, only enough to fill half a small jade bottle.
Earth vein spiritual milk is not an ordinary spiritual object and can quickly restore consumed mana.
This kind of thing cannot be nurtured by all spiritual veins. Only those spiritual veins that have been closed for thousands of years may form spiritual milk due to the accumulation of a large amount of spiritual energy over time.
The name earth vein spiritual milk is only a general term for this kind of spiritual object. It is also divided into several grades according to the content of spiritual power.
The spiritual milk formed in lower-grade spiritual veins is called hundred-year spiritual milk. The one in middle-grade spiritual veins is called thousand-year spiritual milk, and there is a higher quality ten-thousand-year spiritual milk above it.
It is said that just one or two drops of ten-thousand-year spiritual milk can instantly restore all the spiritual power of a Nascent Soul level cultivator.
The liquid in the jade bottle is thousand-year spiritual milk. It was deposited in a middle-grade spiritual vein that nurtured the Spirit Eye Divine Tree.
Through the induction of a strand of spiritual power just now, Zhang Ling calculated that just one drop could restore seventy to eighty percent of his spiritual power. This is a good thing to save his life.
Think about it, in battles between cultivators, in addition to factors such as magic weapons, spells, and techniques, what they are always competing for is cultivation. In other words, it is the spiritual power in the body.
If too much spiritual power is consumed, the power of the techniques used will be weakened accordingly.
Often, the strength of cultivators of the same rank is comparable, and what they are competing for is the consumption of spiritual power.
When the spiritual power is about to run out during a battle, taking a drop of thousand-year spiritual milk can instantly restore seventy to eighty percent of your strength. Even if you can't kill your opponent instantly, you can at least gain the upper hand in the battle.
The thousand-year spiritual milk in the jade bottle is estimated to be more than twenty drops. Enough for him to use many times.
Of course, these earth vein spiritual milk contain extremely pure spiritual power, but precisely because of this, they cannot be taken in large quantities in a short period of time, otherwise the body will not be able to withstand it. In mild cases, the meridians will be swollen and damaged, and in severe cases, the entire body's meridians will be destroyed.
With his current strength, taking two drops in a short period of time is the limit. With this trump card, Zhang Ling is not afraid of even dealing with mid-Golden Core stage cultivators.
With a flash of spiritual light in Zhang Ling's hand, he carefully put away the jade bottle.
Then his gaze turned to the several storage bags placed on the ground. These storage bags were all high-level storage bags. Among them, five storage bags belonged to the Azure Python Daoist and Elder Long.
Now it's cheap for him.
He had just roughly checked, and there were five or six thousand low-grade spirit stones alone. There were also more than two hundred middle-grade spirit stones.
Although it doesn't seem like much, it's not a small amount.
After all, cultivators consume resources when they cultivate, not to mention Golden Core stage cultivators like them, whose entire wealth is mostly used for cultivation or purchasing magic weapons.
Speaking of magic weapons, with a wave of Zhang Ling's hand, five magic weapons flashing with spiritual light appeared in front of him.
