Chapter 742 - 310: Pure and Alluring—Isn’t This Exactly What You Want? (Part 2)
Shen Yu at this moment looked towards the increasingly large vortex between heaven and earth, and then turned his gaze to the direction of the Fourth Layer’s cave mansions.
"This demon beast is inside a cultivator’s cave mansion on the fourth layer. It seems to be a spirit beast nurtured by a cultivator."
Shang Song also nodded slightly at this moment and said:
"This is indeed strange. A Golden Core Cultivator in the city actually has such a high-level spirit beast.
Judging by the celestial phenomena, the level of this spirit beast is not low!
That direction seems to resemble the cave mansion of Fellow Daoist Chu Ning. Nephew Wu, do you have any interest in going over to take a look?"
Although Shang Song was quite surprised and curious about this, he was after all a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
It was just a spirit beast undergoing core formation; for him to step forward would be somewhat inappropriate.
Wu Lingwei nodded and said:
"Yes, Protector!"
Saying this, Wu Lingwei then directly flew out, heading towards the Fourth Layer’s cave mansions.
Besides Wu Lingwei, there were also other Golden Core Cultivators flying towards the vicinity of Chu Ning’s Cave Mansion.
Unlike the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining Cultivators in the Lower City, they had all gone through Core Formation.
So with just a slight perception, they could tell that this was a demon beast promoting to form a Demon Core.
For a moment, they all couldn’t help but feel curious about who had nurtured such a high-level spirit beast.
And living next to Chu Ning’s cave mansion, Chang Lingshan was naturally the most surprised.
"I haven’t often seen Brother Chu with a spirit beast normally, and I didn’t expect him to have such a high-level spirit beast.
Brother Chu’s strength is already impressive, and with the assistance of a Tier Five Spirit Beast, his strength becomes all the more formidable."
On the other side, the Black Death Demon Situ Yan, his murky eyes kept flickering, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Chu Ning naturally could sense the appearance of many cultivators.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.
However, since Ling Xiaobai was still promoting, he didn’t speak for now.
He quietly served as a protector for Ling Xiaobai.
Seeing the celestial phenomena growing larger, Chu Ning couldn’t help but sigh.
"Xiaobai indeed isn’t an ordinary spirit beast. Such celestial phenomena aren’t much different from when I underwent core formation.
I’m afraid ordinary demon beasts wouldn’t cause such a disturbance while promoting."
Thinking back on when he slaughtered many at the mouth of the valley, drawing the attention of many,
And now, just over half a year later, Ling Xiaobai was promoting.
Even without considering others, the cultivators from Changkong Hall would likely pay more attention to him.
Thinking of this, Chu Ning already had a plan in mind.
The celestial phenomena continued for a long time before it slowly dispersed.
Ling Xiaobai also flashed with a white light, revealing his form.
Seeing Ling Xiaobai’s appearance, Chu Ning couldn’t help but flash a look of delight.
However, Chu Ning did not immediately converse with Ling Xiaobai.
He made a gesture of silence towards him.
Then, Chu Ning slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Fellow Daoists, the celestial phenomena just now was caused by a spirit beast I nurtured promoting. I appreciate the concern of all fellow Daoists.
I am still recovering from injuries and it’s inconvenient for me to meet with you all, so I ask for your understanding!"
Chu Ning’s voice penetrated the restrictions of the cave mansion and reached outside. With his intentional control, only the Golden Core Cultivators gathering around could hear it.
Everyone exchanged glances, each showing a trace of surprise.
Originally, they wanted to see what kind of demon beast this was that Chu Ning had nurtured that could promote to become a Tier Five Spirit Beast.
But now, Chu Ning directly refused to meet.
And yet, they couldn’t bring up any objections, since Chu Ning’s "serious injuries" were witnessed by everyone before.
At this moment, everyone could only leave somewhat regrettably.
As Wu Lingwei and the others left, those familiar with each other discussed what kind of demon beast Chu Ning had actually nurtured.
And when Wu Lingwei returned, he truthfully reported to Shang Song and the others.
"Since there was nothing to see, so be it. But I’m truly curious about what spirit beast Chu Ning is nurturing." Shang Song now had more of a look of intrigue in his eyes.
"The celestial phenomena just now caused by the other’s breakthrough and promotion was far greater than that caused by the core formation of ordinary cultivators and demon beasts."
Meanwhile, inside the cave, Chu Ning looked at Ling Xiaobai, marveling with some astonishment:
"Little one, your promotion this time has made quite a scene."
Aside from Ling Xiaobai’s tail, which had transformed into two tails back when it promoted to a Tier Two Demon Beast, now it astonishingly had an additional tail.
The long tails at its back numbered three.
Apart from this, it now had a pair of wings on its body.
The wings were thin as cicada’s wings, faintly glowing with a blue sheen.
Although they had only just grown, they looked incredibly coordinated.
"Master, can you still recognize me?"
At this moment, Ling Xiaobai blinked his eyes, astonishingly speaking human words directly.
"You can talk now?" Chu Ning slightly widened his mouth.
It’s known that speaking human words is typically a feature of Transformed Great Demons at Tier Eight or above.
At this time, Chu Ning once again spoke with some surprise:
"Huh, you’re female? No, you’re a female?"
To know, previously, Ling Xiaobai communicated through telepathy, which was just a signal without an actual voice.
Ling Xiaobai blinked his eyes, looking at Chu Ning, and said:
"Is it strange that I’m female?"
Chu Ning shook his head, then curiously asked:
"Xiaobai, do you have any special divine techniques after this promotion?"
Ling Xiaobai then tilted his head to look at Chu Ning and shook his body slightly.
