C30: Lying Tiger
Although the Immortal Spirit Enclosure was said to be a place for young cultivators to hunt immortal spirits up to their own power, but if Yang Junshan really brought so many immortal spirits out of the Enclosure, it would be 100% robbed by the other them, even if he told the background of the Yang family.
The appearance of a high-grade immortal spirit in the third round of the hunting was a mistake on the part of a mountain watcher. At that time, not only would the Yang family not have a good reputation, they could even kill Yang Junshan at the enclosure for any charge.
Since this was the case, Yang Junshan still set the target of hunting as a high-grade immortal spirit because he had a way to hide the fact that he could obtain a high-grade immortal spirit. This was very simple, and it was to use the remaining five days to make Yang Junshan advance to the Mortal Realm's second layer to calling the immortal spirit.
Originally, everyone's cultivation method was much the same at this stage of the calling immortal spirits, and all they needed was a process that could not be completed in just five days, even with the assistance of the immortal spirits. Moreover, the immortal spirit itself was being gradually refined outside the cultivator's body, thus making it impossible for Yang Junshan to hide the five types of immortal spirits after the Hundred Bird Mountain Enclosure closed.
However, Yang Junshan knew a secret technique that could refine a spirit in the body. Not only could it greatly reduce the time needed to advance to the Calling the Immortal Spirit, it could also conceal his cultivation level for the time being. Only when the Immortal Soul was completely refined and the cultivator reached the peak of the second layer would his cultivation level truly display the characteristics of the second layer of the Mortal Realm.
This secret art naturally came from the memories of his previous life. In his previous life, in order to fight against disasters, the human cultivators had no choice but to create many secret arts to reduce the time needed to train their cultivation. And the "Blood Refinement Summoning Spirit Technique" that Yang Junshan used right now was a secret technique that could shorten the time needed to cultivate a Immortal Spirit without any side effects.
However, even if he used this secret technique, Yang Junshan wouldn't be able to cultivate to the Great Circle of Mortal Realm in just five days. More importantly, once this secret technique was used, the immortal spirit used to awaken Yang Junshan's spiritual cavities would remain hidden in his body without being discovered.
Yang Junshan pulled out an iron arrow from the quiver with his right hand, and traced it along his left hand from his back. He clenched his teeth and stabbed the iron arrow into the crevice.
"Swish! Swish!"
Yang Junshan drew a deep breath, beads of cold sweat oozing out from his forehead. However, he still unhesitatingly pulled out the arrow from the bone crack, and immediately after, blood began to gush out from the wound.
The intense pain did not cause Yang Junshan to hesitate at all. He used his left hand to feel the wound, and abruptly pushed himself forward. Taking advantage of the opening, his right hand, which had thrown away the Iron Feather Arrow, pressed the top grade Celestial Tiger Teeth into the wound.
Yang Junshan directly pressed two-thirds of the Tigerfang Immortal's spirit through the crack on the edge of his spine, causing the wound to tear twice. The piercing pain made Yang Junshan shiver all over his body, but he still clenched his teeth and held on tightly, only the muffled groans echoing in the cave.
He fished out a medicinal paste to treat blood stasis from his waist pouch and carefully placed it on the wound on his back. Because he couldn't see the scene behind him, he couldn't help but touch the wound again, causing Yang Junshan to grimace in pain.
Yang Junshan had two immortal spirits in his body, one of them was in the gallbladder, and the other was in the vertebrae. This was also the reason why Yang Junshan was so focused on obtaining the tiger bone immortal spirit, because this kind of immortal spirit was very suitable for Yang Junshan's spirit meridian.
As for the Earth-Stepping Bear's appearance, it was completely out of Yang Junshan's expectations. However, the fact that he was able to obtain a high-grade Saint Spirit Bear's gall bladder that was compatible with another Saint Spirit Point was completely out of his expectations.
After the Immortal Spirit was extracted from the mother body, the spirit energy contained in it would quickly shrink and solidify, turning into a crystal jade like immortal spirit essence. At this moment, the high quality Immortal Spirit bear gall in Yang Junshan's hand shrunk and solidified into a small, black, jade-like solid.
After settling the wound on his back, Yang Junshan picked up the Iron Feather Arrow and wiped it clean again. He sighed. A high-grade Fairy Spirit Bear Bile was indeed an unexpected surprise, but now Yang Junshan had no choice but to accept another self-mutilation.
After breaking the arrow shaft, Yang Junshan bit the arrow shaft into his mouth, and confirmed the location of the gallbladder, as if he had made up his mind. Only then did he muster up the courage to cut an inch long wound on his abdomen, but this time he did not put the bear gall immortal spirit into the wound, instead, he used the iron arrow to forcefully stab at the essence of the immortal spirit.
"Boo!" With a soft sound, the jade surface of the essence of the immortal spirit immediately cracked. A light golden, viscous liquid fell from it, dripping drop by drop into the wound.
These viscous liquids were the true essence of the bear gall fairy. Normally, if the limpid essence of the bear gall immortal spirit was yellowish green, then it would be the lowest quality low grade immortal spirit; if it was ink-black, then it would be a middle grade immortal spirit; once it was dyed in a layer of gold, then the quality of the bear gall immortal spirit would jump to upper grade, and the golden color would become denser. The higher the quality, the higher the quality. There were even legends that said that once a Demonic Bear Immortal Spirit turned completely golden, it would be one out of a million top grade Immortal Spirits.
The bear gall spirit essence in Yang Junshan's hand was only a faint layer of gold, but it had barely reached the threshold of a high-grade immortal spirit. Among high-grade immortal spirits, it could only be considered as a low-grade one, however, every time a drop of liquid dripped into the wound, Yang Junshan would feel his entire body twisting in pain.
When all the essence from the bear gall immortal spirit dripped onto the wound, a golden ray of light seeped out from the wound and mixed into the blood that flowed along the wound. A moment later, the entire wound solidified and scabbed, however, Yang Junshan still hurriedly placed another pill on the wound.
After losing a lot of blood, Yang Junshan's face was extremely pale. The energy accumulated in his body was drained like a flood, and two consecutive secret techniques were cast on his body. The moment each of the Immortal Spirits stabbed into his spiritual cavities, they devoured all of Yang Junshan's earth spirit energy, and his entire body collapsed onto the ground.
At this time, no matter who found this cave, Yang Junshan could only wait helplessly for death.
Yang Junshan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he was too careless. Originally, Yang Junshan thought that he would be able to withstand the "Bloody Calling the Immortal Spirit" because of his body. His original plan was only to hunt Mountain-reaping Tiger and obtain the Tiger Bone Immortal Spirit.
However, because of the unexpected appearance of the Earth-Stepping Bear and the acquisition of the top rank Bear Gall Fairy Spirit, Yang Junshan had no choice but to change his original plan. In order to avoid any unexpected changes, he had no choice but to risk using the "Bloody Calling the Immortal Spirit" twice in his body, pushing his body to the brink of collapse.
This was an unavoidable situation. If Yang Junshan still had a way to hide it from the disciples of the Heaven-Shaking Sect, then the aura of a high-grade immortal spirit was as dazzling as a candle in the dark night in the eyes of a Martial Mortal Realm cultivator.
In order to take the two hight-grade immortal spirits for himself, Yang Junshan had no choice but to take this risk. There were only five days left, and he hoped that he would be able to make it in time, even if he only recovered to the point of barely being able to walk.
Yang Junshan, who was leaning against the rock wall, was trying his best to circulate the < <
However, every time he barely managed to absorb the spiritual energy in his body under the support of the < Fifth Earth Spiritual Formula > and circulated it around his two immortal spiritual cavities, Yang Junshan would feel as if two mountains had fallen from the sky, making the already circulating spiritual energy even more obscure. Yang Junshan laid on the ground for four whole hours, and unexpectedly, the Fifth Earth Spiritual Formula > did not even take a single cycle.
Just as Yang Junshan was feeling incredibly discouraged, he inadvertently raised his head to glance at the eight pictures of tigers on the wall above him.
Yang Junshan's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly tried his best to raise his head and study these eight paintings. After looking at them one by one, his eyes finally fell on the third of the four paintings that were headed by the Fierce Tiger Uphill.
This was a picture of a crouching tiger. The king of beasts, who should have been roaring through the forest and ordering the beasts, was currently lying in the grass beneath the tree. His expression even carried a hint of peace and ease.
Yang Junshan carefully stared at this mural and the Fifth Earth Spiritual Formula inside body continued to work hard. However this time, he purposely missed an opportunity to activate it. The faint demonic energy that was emitted from the wall was absorbed into his body, and mixed into the pure spiritual energy that Yang Junshan had condensed over and over again.
BOOM!
Yang Junshan felt as if his head was smashed by a hammer and was thrown backwards. In his eyes, the murals on the wall suddenly turned around, and rays of light started to circulate inside his body, and at the same time, it was as if a deep imprint was engraved in his mind.
In the end, the light circulating in the Tiger's body formed a complete circulation system, and Yang Junshan also hid a complete body refining technique in his mind.
Yang Junshan did his best to arrange his body according to the picture of the crouching tiger in the mural. The wounds that were previously bleeding profusely from his bleeding stopped bleeding, but he still did not care. After positioning himself, he began to circulate the spiritual energy in his body according to the route recorded in his mind. The bleeding wound suddenly started perceptible trembling, the muscle of two side started push to the middle, although the wound was not scabby, the blood no longer seeped out.
