I saw black mist rising from the corpse bear, forming a gust of Yin wind that wrapped the minced meat on the ground, turning it into a black light ball about ten feet in size, with a wisp of gray-white corpse fire burning inside.
After a few breaths, the light ball shrank to the size of a fist, and its color was also dyed blood red.
The fierce light in the corpse bear's eyes sucked the blood-colored light ball into its mouth, and it chewed for a while, seeming quite excited.
In the past year, the corpse bear has devoured a lot of flesh and blood of high-level desolate beasts, and the corpse evil energy on its body has become more condensed. As long as it completely digests the flesh and blood of these desolate beasts, its strength will gradually increase.
Zhang Ling then put away the nearby formation equipment and left the place with the corpse bear.
He did not go far, but entered a desolate mountain not far away, used the earth escape technique to directly enter the belly of the mountain, and came to a mountain cave to rest.
He had been here for more than a month. Including the long-tailed giant bull he had just killed, he had killed a total of three high-level monster beasts.
Among them, only this long-tailed giant bull belonged to the earth attribute.
This cave was his temporary foothold. After entering the cave, he sat cross-legged directly on the ground and took out a pile of bottles and jars and placed them on the ground to start tinkering.
First, he took out the sixth-order earth attribute demon core he had just obtained and placed it in a jade cauldron carved from white jade. He then took out several liquids of different colors from the bottles and jars and poured them into it, and finally the jade cauldron was dyed blue-green.
Then Zhang Ling spewed out Dan fire to directly wrap the jade cauldron and began to refine it.
As the Dan fire refined, wisps of grayish-yellow mist floated out of the jade cauldron. These were the turbid Qi that had been contaminated in the demon core.
These turbid Qi were refined, and the spiritual power in the demon core was also reduced. Afterwards, it had to be soaked in a special spiritual liquid for a period of time to nurture it before it could be the same as an ordinary demon core.
While he was processing the demon core, the corpse bear also sat cross-legged not far away to refine the desolate beast flesh and blood it had just absorbed.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed. After processing the demon core, Zhang Ling took out a map, selected another destination, and left.
……
In a snow-covered mountain, Zhang Ling was standing in mid-air, letting the cold wind blow on his face without moving.
At this time, he closed his eyes and released his divine sense to explore the surroundings. After a while, he frowned and opened his eyes.
"Is that desolate beast no longer here?" Zhang Ling murmured. Suddenly, a sound of wind whistling came from behind, and a black mist approached his direction quickly. Zhang Ling remained unmoved. As soon as the black mist dispersed, the figure of the corpse bear appeared.
Then he released a wisp of divine sense and probed into the corpse bear's body. Immediately, his face lit up with joy.
Then Zhang Ling asked the corpse bear to lead the way, and one person and one corpse turned into two rays of light and disappeared.
The reason why he was in such a hurry was because he had accidentally discovered a kind of spiritual insect when passing by this place half a month ago. A kind of ice attribute spiritual insect, "Ice Spirit Silkworm".
Although the name is ordinary, this spiritual insect is born with the ability to spit out extremely cold Qi, and its attack power is not weak. Moreover, this extremely cold Qi can be used by cultivators to refine pills.
In addition, the silk spit out by the Ice Spirit Silkworm is also very useful and can be used to refine treasures that hide aura.
The Ice Spirit Silkworm is even rarer than the Earth Spirit Bee he cultivated, and its ranking on the Strange Insect List is also ahead of the Earth Spirit Bee. If he remembers correctly, it seems to be ranked seventy-eighth among the Strange Insects.
The Ice Spirit Silkworm is different from the Earth Spirit Bee, which lives in pairs, one male and one female. Even if they breed offspring, only one male and one female worm egg can survive.
This is also the reason why this kind of spiritual insect is rare.
Not long ago, Zhang Ling discovered a fourth-order Ice Spirit Silkworm when he settled down here. Since he was lucky enough to meet it, he couldn't help but have the idea of capturing it.
Generally speaking, the desolate beasts in the desolate domain cannot be tamed by cultivators.
But that's not to say that there are only desolate beasts in the desolate domain. There are also a small number of monster beasts that have not been eroded by the turbid Qi of the desolate domain.
For example, in some ancient ruins, if the spiritual veins have not been destroyed and have not been sealed, the spiritual Qi emitted by the spiritual veins will, to a certain extent, resist the turbid Qi, forming a pure land. The monster beasts living in these places will maintain their original intelligence.
Of course, if they leave these places, they will still be eroded by the turbid Qi.
Moreover, the monster beasts are not very intelligent and will wander around, so there are fewer and fewer monster beasts surviving in the desolate domain. But there are still some survivors.
In addition, some wild and exotic species can also resist the erosion of turbid Qi by relying on their own spiritual power. The Ice Spirit Silkworm is this kind of wild and exotic insect, and the extremely cold Qi in its body can be used to resist turbid Qi.
Even if the Ice Spirit Silkworm lives in the desolate domain, it is not a desolate beast and is the same as in other places. So if you can catch it, you can also use the beast driving method to cultivate it.
In the past few days, Zhang Ling has been searching for the Ice Spirit Silkworm in this snow-covered mountain.
Just an hour ago, he saw the fourth-order Ice Spirit Silkworm, but this kind of heaven and earth spiritual insect has a very sensitive spiritual sense. As soon as he gets close to a certain range, the Ice Silkworm drills into the snow and disappears.
Then he and the corpse bear dispersed and searched in this snow-covered mountain.
Just now, the corpse bear seemed to have discovered some traces. In this way, Zhang Ling followed the corpse bear all the way in one direction.
Monsters like corpse bears also have weak divine senses, but they are far worse than monks of the same rank. However, these monsters themselves are sensitive to vitality, and this special spiritual sense can play a significant role in finding living beings.
……
While Zhang Ling and the corpse bear were searching for traces of the Ice Spirit Silkworm in the snow-covered mountain.
Three rays of light of different colors descended on another part of the snow-covered mountain, and three monks, one man and two women, appeared.
The spiritual pressure on these three people all belonged to high-level monks. The man's cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Core Formation stage, and the two women's cultivation was the same, around the early stage of the Core Formation stage.
"Senior Brother Wang Yan, is that thing really here? Your information is not wrong, is it?" A female cultivator with an oval face and wearing a yellow dress touched her face with a handkerchief, her eyes swept around, and she asked with some impatience.
The object of the woman's question was naturally the male cultivator in the middle stage of cultivation. The man was wearing a thick black gown and holding a folding fan. He looked quite handsome, but his face was a little pale and he looked somewhat sickly.
"Cough cough, Junior Sister Chen, don't be anxious. This news from your brother cost a lot of money to obtain. Although I can only determine the approximate location, I have already explored the other places before. This is the last place and the most likely place to grow Ice Mulberry. As long as I get a large amount of Ice Mulberry, the cultivation of the three of us will increase greatly in a short period of time under dual cultivation," Wang Yan coughed lightly and said with a smile.
"Who wants to engage in dual cultivation with you? Senior Brother, you are over three hundred years old and still think about this matter all day long. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?" Junior Sister Chen glanced at the man and said with a delicate smile.
