Chapter 730 Spiritual Beast
Spirit beasts are born in places rich in spiritual energy, and are pure and kind beings unaffected by the various material desires of the outside world.
Like her space rat, it is a purebred breed nurtured from the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk, and it is a spirit beast.
This toad is one too.
Indeed, this place is like a world within a painting; outsiders simply cannot enter.
She now understood somewhat that she was being swallowed up because of the Ice Source Pearl.
"Croak croak!" I am the Boundless Ice Toad.
"The Limitless Ice Toad?" The little cauldron emerged from Zhong Ran's body, examining the Limitless Ice Toad with excitement in its voice: "Master, this is the Limitless Ice Toad. Using it to refine pills can raise your cultivation level without any side effects."
"Uh!" Zhong Ran was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up and her voice rose considerably: "Are you serious? Using it to refine pills can really raise one's cultivation level?"
Does that mean that she is currently only at the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage, but after consuming the pill refined by the Limitless Ice Toad, she can directly advance to the tenth level of the Void Refinement stage?
That way she can save many years of cultivation, right?
The Ice Toad was startled by the light in her eyes and quickly retreated, its eyes warily fixed on her and the monster in front of her that it sensed was dangerous.
"The Wuji Ice Toad is actually highly poisonous. Just one drop is enough to quickly poison even a peak Void Refinement expert, causing their life force to drain away and them to slowly die."
"It also devours human life force to cultivate and improve, but it seems to have been conceived and grown here from a young age, without any genetic memory of that kind of thing, and without having come into contact with other creatures, so it is relatively innocent."
Zhong Ran understood that this Boundless Ice Toad was actually an extremely dangerous demonic beast.
However, because it has never been in contact with the outside world and has not been influenced by the various desires of the outside world, it can still be considered a spirit beast.
Xiao Ding turned around, seemingly looking at Zhong Ran.
"Master, with your physique, let alone advancing one realm, even advancing two minor levels would be a huge achievement for it."
Zhong Ran: ...Okay, she was just being too presumptuous.
"Then let's take it with us for now. We'll refine it into pills when we have time, and give one to our parents to help them improve quickly."
It's impossible for her, Mu Jinning, Asheng, Zhong Yan, and the others to quickly improve their abilities using such elixirs.
But the people around her are capable; they can rapidly improve their cultivation levels, which is also extremely beneficial to her.
"Cuck!"
Although the Wuji Ice Toad didn't know what the demon immortal was talking about, it sensed a crisis approaching.
After letting out a croak, it quickly jumped inside and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhong Ran was about to give chase when she discovered that, in addition to the Boundless Ice Toad, there was also an Ice Crystal Spirit Insect and a group of Ice Crystal Jade Ants.
"Are these spirit insects and jade ants of any use?"
If they're useful, she'll take them all.
If they're not of any use, then forget it; leaving them here is their best fate.
Then, she saw another one sitting next to her, Zhong Ran?
Her eyes widened suddenly, staring intently at the woman beside her who was also looking at her with open eyes.
Why does it feel so familiar?
She's only at the Nascent Soul stage, she hasn't even cultivated an avatar yet!
"Jade Ant Demon King? Why did you transform into my appearance?"
She recognized the Jade Ant Demon King's true form at a glance.
It's one thing for it to resemble her, but why only half of it and no legs?
Doesn't this look really weird and scary?
The Jade Ant Demon King blinked just like her and said, "Because you are a demon immortal."
Zhong Ran: ...A demon immortal?
"You can disguise yourself however you want, right now. Change your appearance or I'll kill you right now."
The Jade Ant Demon King transformed back into the jade ant, which was larger than a fist, and quickly retreated.
As expected of a demon immortal, she is indeed fierce.
Zhong Ran looked at the small cauldron, waiting for it to answer whether these jade ants and spirit insects had any bone benefits.
Xiao Ding hesitated for a while before saying, "Spirit insects are edible, and they have many benefits."
"These jade ants can be eaten after being roasted."
Zhong Ran glared at it: "Forget it, I'm not Asheng."
Thinking of Ah Sheng, she looked at the Ice Crystal Spirit Insect again.
The ice crystal insect darted inside as soon as she looked over.
This fairy is terrifying. It doesn't want to play with her anymore; it wants to go home.
The group of ice crystal ants also retreated, staring at her warily.
Zhong Ran touched her nose. To be honest, this jade ant looks quite nice. It's crystal clear, like a fine jade ornament, and it looks pretty good to display.
"Xiao Ding, what do these jade ants eat? Can they be kept as pets?"
"Their bodies are actually very hard, and they are extremely strong. They love to eat spiritual items such as mithril and ice crystals."
"The place where they live must have an ice vein."
Zhong Ran's eyes lit up. Ice Spirit Vein, this is a good thing.
If she obtains an Ice Spirit Vein, she should be close to advancing to the Void Refinement Realm, right?
"Let's go and take a look first, and then we can deal with the mess later."
A smile appeared on her face; she would get the Ice Source Pearl first.
When she obtains the Ice Source Pearl, she should be able to advance two more small steps and acquire another Ice Spirit Vein...
No, she should first use the Ice Spirit Vein to improve her cultivation, and then advance to the Void Refinement Realm when she obtains the Ice Source Pearl.
If it attracts a lightning tribulation, it could very well destroy the world depicted in the painting.
At that time, the Ice Spirit Vein will also be destroyed.
Thinking of this, she activated her Eye of Illusion and quickly discovered the spiritual vein deep within the mountain.
However, some of those spiritual veins had been gnawed away and broken apart by these jade ants.
The spiritual vein is very large and of excellent quality; it is definitely a top-grade spiritual vein.
That's true, how could being near the Ice Source Pearl be bad?
Even the spirit insects here should be spiritual creatures of heaven and earth that were born here because of the Ice Source Pearl.
Such a precious object is extremely rare. To destroy it like this is such a waste of a rare treasure.
After thinking for a moment, Zhong Ran said to Xiao Ding, "Xiao Ding, first extract this ice spirit vein and put it in, then put these jade ants and that spirit insect in as well."
Such rare and precious natural treasures are extremely rare; even just consuming them would undoubtedly be a great tonic.
If her advancement attracts a tribulation of lightning that destroys this small world, it would be such a waste of these spiritual creatures.
The small cauldron spun for a while before saying, "Go and continue your cultivation. I will draw it when you are ready to advance."
Zhong Ran also recalled the time when they were at Thunder Mountain, when it drained the dragon vein, causing the mountain to collapse and burying them underneath, leaving them feeling suffocated.
She quickly shook herself and continued walking inside, saying, "Then I'll leave this place to you."
The enormous Ice Toad had vanished without a trace; it was nowhere to be seen.
As she continued to walk further in, the pressure gradually increased.
The deeper you go, the greater the pressure becomes, and then it turns into a vast, white world.
In this vast white world, she actually saw an ice elm tree?
