The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 567 - 324: Monster_2

Living beings naturally yearn for freedom, and although this small Demon-binding Vine was pure and flawless, it hesitated as well. Ning Xiaoxian circled the remaining elixirs around the sphere, and wherever she went, a big mouth opened in that direction, as if drool would drop if it could.

"As long as you follow me, you can have these elixirs whenever you want, one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening, plus one for a midnight snack!" As she said this, the sphere immediately stopped moving, as if seriously considering. So, under the hint from Changtian, she added another condition, "I can even let you stay on the Divine Soil for a few days periodically, how about that?"

"Divine Soil!" To her surprise, the naïve and unsophisticated little vine monster was shocked, its transmitted thoughts becoming much more clear and coherent, "The legendary Divine Soil?!"

"Exactly, have you thought it through?"

It was silent for even longer this time, uttering only three words: "See, with own eyes!"

This little thing still didn’t trust her. Ning Xiaoxian shrugged and took it to a small garden on the Fifth Floor, placing it on the Divine Soil.

The Demon-binding Vine immediately became excited, extending its vines like tentacles, twisting around, and even the bottom of the sphere seemed restless, as if it wanted to grow roots. However, the Divine Soil, instructed by Ning Xiaoxian, arched its jelly-like, much tougher translucent body and "pop," kicked the sphere far away like a bouncing ball.

Ning Xiaoxian: "..."

She walked to the corner, picked up the trembling sphere thinking about consoling it, but a clear thought transmitted through her mind: "Acknowledge master, immediately!" It turned out this guy was trembling from excitement.

Having transmitted this thought, the sphere opened its large mouth again, spitting out a shiny green oval bead into her hand, which one could imagine to look like a green sea urchin. How was she supposed to store this thing?

Changtian smiled and said: "Swallow it. This is its essence pill. From now on, it will follow only your commands."

What? Swallow this sticky, moist thing? Just by looking, she knew it would be disgusting! She frowned, tossed it into her mouth, and swallowed it without daring to taste it.

Honestly, it didn’t have the foul smell she had imagined, but she had a mental block about it.

Changtian guided her, "Now, command it to transform into a set of Vine Armor and cover the Black Scale Armor you are wearing."

She did as told. In that moment, the spirit-connected Demon-binding Vine indeed transformed from its Meat Ball state into vines, crawling from her arms over her body, twitching slightly then autonomously weaving into a thin, cicada-winged Green Vine Armor. She reached out to touch it, feeling nothing, no extra weight on her body.

Her delicate fair fingers traced over the perfect contours of her upper body, full of allure, but unknown to her, Changtian sitting on the lower floor, inadvertently swallowed his saliva. He coughed lightly, disguising his words, "Of course, you feel nothing when you touch it, but if an enemy reaches out and strikes the Vine Armor, they will be met with bleeding wounds. Besides the outstanding protection offered by this Vine Armor, the Demon-binding Vine also likes to store Life Force inside itself, so if your injuries become too severe, it will release Life Force to heal you."

This was indeed a precious ability. With the assistive powers of the Demon-binding Vine, even with severe injuries, she could recover quickly. Normally, only elixirs could rapidly heal wounds, but such elixirs not only contained Elixir Poison but also consumed one’s own Life Force, unlike the Demon-binding Vine’s innate capabilities which came without side effects.

"When the Demon-binding Vine matures, it will have even greater abilities and can even fight alongside you," he said disdainfully of Fourth’s method, "Not by just throwing it on the ground... of course, throwing it on the ground is also possible, as the mature Demon-binding Vine would resemble a big tree, not only capable of moving on its own but even able to summon Tree Spirits to assist in battle, proving to be a very practical support ally. In the Ancient Times, many Immortals liked to raise Demon-binding Vines."

They have an unmatched advantage in rearing Demon-binding Vines—that is the Divine Soil. The Demon-binding Vine, although a spirit monster, is essentially a plant. Being a plant, there is nothing that does not wish to be near the Divine Soil. The Demon-binding Vine can draw immense energy from the Divine Soil, even more than what it would obtain from consuming blood food, thus reaching maturity at a faster pace compared to its peers.

"Alright then." She patted the Vine Armor on her body, satisfied, "From now on, you’ll be called ’Meat Ball’!"

Her naming skills remained as such... Meat Ball twisted forcefully a couple of times, it was unclear whether it was protesting or delighted. She didn’t care because she had already shifted her focus onto the Spectrum Mirror. It took a great deal of effort for the group to finally secure this treasure.

Because of this mirror, she and Qi Zai were chased by Tianlan Courtyard for a long time until the pursuer, Old K Face, was imprisoned in the God Demon Prison, finally putting an end to the saga. The Sect Leader of Guangcheng Palace, Nangong Zhen, couldn’t stop thinking about it until his death by a twist of fate; and unexpectedly, this item actually ended up in her hands.

It must be said, this is the most beautiful small magic treasure she has ever seen, if not counting Gu Yuming’s artifact resembling an Arabian flying carpet. It seems the cultivators in this world don’t care much for the appearance of magic artifacts; she hasn’t seen many that are visually appealing, even those forged by Changtian like the Demon Eye and Black Scale Armor, despite their practical functionalities, are simply too... ugly.

But the Spectrum Mirror is different. The entire mirror is made of gold, the back is entwined with silver filigree and twin lotus designs, and adorned with costly red, blue, and yellow gems, truly magnificent. The mirror surface is smooth like rippling water, even touching it causes gentle ripples. No wonder Miss Chun coveted this mirror the moment she saw it, which woman doesn’t love beauty? Yet, most of the world’s magic artifacts aren’t good-looking!

Did the great power who forged this mirror originally plan to give it to their beloved? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
