C27: Spiritual Bone
Yang Junshan placed the cub tiger on the ground and watched it stumbling towards the mountain seated tiger. The baby tiger jumped under mother's chin and ran into the tiger's chest like a spoiled child.
The young tiger cub did not have the slightest idea that the flame of his mother's life was about to be extinguished. It only drilled around in the fur under his mother's jaw, playing with it.
At this moment, Shan Hu's entire body was devoid of energy, but he could feel the joy of the cub beside him. At this moment, his eyes, which had become lax, revealed an expression of love and reluctance.
Yang Junshan sighed and was about to say something, but then he saw a faint dark ray of light coming out from the corner of Shan Hu's mouth.
Yang Junshan was startled. He was very familiar with this kind of light. It was the essence of the demonic energy that was condensed in the body of a demonic beast during its initial cultivation.
As the inky essence of the demonic energy flowed down, it instantly dispersed like a cloud of mist, enveloping the head of the cub.
The playful little tiger cub thought that this was his mother playing a new game with him, so he shook his head in an attempt to shake off the haziness on his head. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Mountain-Sitting Tiger suddenly lowered its huge head and placed the cub under its chin, no matter how the cub barked, it did not move at all.
This, was this demonic spiritual energy Head Immersion?
Although Yang Junshan was surprised, he wasn't as surprised as before. What was more surprising was that mountain-seated tiger actually knew a secret technique like the Demonic Qi Emptiness Technique. Before the demi-humans who knew this secret technique fell, most of them would use this secret technique on their juniors.
Although it was a "empowerment", there was not a single strand of demonic energy left in the recipient's body. Moreover, this demonic energy could not be used to increase the recipient's cultivation level, but could only be used to solidify the recipient's foundation. To put it simply, it was a process of strengthening one's foundation and cultivation base.
The mountain tiger was at most a high level Mortal Realm cultivator, so how much of the demonic Qi did it have? In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the dark colored essence had already entered the cub's body, and the rest was slowly disappearing.
The cub shook its head in confusion. However, the originally lifeless tiger cub's face suddenly shook, and with some effort, it managed to move its front limbs to push the cub out of the way.
The cub didn't know what was going on, and was still trying to burrow into his mother's embrace. Unexpectedly, it was pushed away by his mother again, and this time, it used more force, and the cub simply flipped over to Yang Junshan's feet.
Yang Junshan knew that this was going to be the last test for him, so he bent down and held the cub in his arms. He bit his left index finger and pointed it between the cub's eyebrows, then he drew a simple picture and said, "Let's work together, it's as if there's a golden orchid in front of us!"
What Yang Junshan did was a universal oath of brotherhood between demons. Although these rituals were not actually binding on the people who made the vows, and only depended on themselves to abide by them, but this kind of rituals were highly regarded by the people, and most of the time, these vows could be kept.
Regardless of whether it was people or people, after cultivating to a certain level, one still had to worry about one's own heart. Moreover, every step of a cultivator's cultivation was like a natural moat.
The eyes of the tiger immediately lit up. Yang Junshan had obviously obtained the approval of the tiger, so the next step would be for him to condense the immortal soul in his body. After this giant tiger had fallen, Yang Junshan would be able to find the supreme tiger bone immortal spirit in his body.
Following that, a earthen yellow ray of light followed from the back of mountain-seated tiger's neck all the way to the place where the Earth Bear broke it. This time, it was Yang Junshan's turn to open his eyes.
Condensing a bone into a spirit, could it be that this is actually condensing a bone into a spirit?
Wasn't this a rare peak grade immortal spirit in the legends? Could it be that the tiger bone immortal spirit in this mountain-seated tiger's body had reached the peak grade?
This time, Yang Junshan was really scared!
A top grade spirit, this was something that he didn't even dare to think about. Even if Yang Junshan had the experience from his previous life, he would at most dare to scheme for a top grade spirit.
However, if it really was a top grade immortal spirit, then all the immortal spirits that he had obtained before added up wouldn't even be worth a single top grade immortal spirit. Even though Yang Junshan had a hundred years of experience, he had never seen a top grade immortal spirit before.
While Yang Junshan was still in shock, the earthen yellow light started to retract from the vertebra in its back, before disappearing into its body.
Just when Yang Junshan didn't know what was going on, a ray of spiritual light suddenly appeared from the tiger's mouth, and gradually condensed into a solid form. A thread of light began to spread out from this ball of light, slowly seeping into a long fang.
Yang Junshan was finally able to relax, the pleasant surprise returned to his face, it was indeed one in ten thousand condensed spirit bones, could it be that he was lucky enough to encounter this kind of luck?
When the spirit light completely entered the tiger tooth, the originally white bone suddenly gained a layer of sparkling and translucent luster like jade. The entire tiger tooth seemed to turn into an exquisite crystal jade, and then this three inch long tiger tooth automatically fell from the mouth of the mountain tiger and landed in front of the mountain tiger.
Yang Junshan looked at Tigerfang who fell to the ground with excitement, but the cub in his arms suddenly cried out in grief. Yang Junshan's heart sank, when he looked up, he saw that mountain-seated tiger had completely lost his life after condensing his celestial spirit into bones.
Yang Junshan once again put down the struggling cubs in his arms, and watched the cubs run to his mother's side. But this time, no matter how hard he tried, he could not get into his mother's arms, no matter how hard he tried.
Yang Junshan lowered his head and picked up the fang on the ground, and quickly wiped off the dust on it with his lapel, afraid that he would bump into it. In fact, the real immortal spirit was not so easy to break, not to mention, it was a top grade immortal beast bone tooth, and it was just Yang Junshan's inner heart.
However, Yang Junshan was stunned when he saw the Fairy Spirit. His previously ecstatic expression froze on his face. This was not right!
Yang Junshan quickly looked at the tiger fang in front of him. The spiritual light on the surface of the Fanged Fairy was even denser than the top grade immortal bear's gall bladder that Yang Junshan had already obtained. However, it was not at the peak of the highest grade.
However, the problem was that the Bone Condensation process was strange. This was a phenomenon that could only appear when cultivating a top grade immortal spirit. How could it become a high grade immortal spirit in the end?
Yang Junshan felt annoyed as he patted his own head. In fact, what Yang Junshan had asked for from the start was only a high quality immortal spirit. If the Mountain-Seizing Tiger had left him a high quality immortal spirit, then this would have been enough to satisfy Yang Junshan.
However, the crux of the matter was that there was clearly a sign of a top grade spirit. Just as Yang Junshan was so happy that his appetite had been lifted, he suddenly realized that the top grade spirit in his hand had turned back into a top grade spirit.
Yang Junshan found it hard to accept such a huge psychological gap. His expression was filled with unwillingness and anger as he flipped a high-grade immortal beast tooth pendant in his hand. He kept muttering, "This is not right, it's obviously a top-grade spirit. How did it become a high-grade spirit …"
After thinking about it for awhile, Yang Junshan concluded that it was because of the interruption of the vertebra of the mountain-seated tiger, so the process of condensing Spirit Bones could not be completed.
It was also possible that because he wanted to wait for his child to meet his last, the mountain tiger had used up too much of his life force, causing him to fail in condensing a top grade immortal spirit in the end.
Even though he was unwilling, the fact that he had reached the Superior Grade of Spiritual Grade was an unalterable fact. Yang Junshan could only comfort himself that he had not gained anything. No matter what, a Superior Grade Spiritual Grade was enough to complete his plan.
Furthermore, his gains were not limited to just this. Yang Junshan couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of the things he saw when he entered the mountain tiger cave. His original regret over missing out on the supreme grade immortal spirit also weakened by quite a bit.
At this time, Yang Junshan suddenly felt his pants being pulled down, and when he looked down, he saw the little tiger that was trying to wake up his mother was holding the bottom of his pants, staring at him with a pair of eyes filled with confusion and confusion, not knowing why his mother had stopped paying attention to him, and could only turn to the person he had been entrusted by his mother to form the Golden Orchid.
Yang Junshan let out a sigh, and once again bent down to pick up baby tiger, before bowing slightly to the huge carcass of the tiger in front of him. He then stroked the cub's furry head, "Little one, from now on, we are brothers, you will just follow me."
The cub seemed to understand Yang Junshan's words. It raised its head and glanced at Yang Junshan, then it glanced at its mother's corpse, turned around and softly called to Yang Junshan, as if it was asking what had happened to its mother.
Just as Yang Junshan was about to explain to it, the sound of people's voices suddenly came from outside the cove, closely followed by the sound of footsteps getting clearer and clearer.
