The old wolf swallowed the elixir, and Zhang Daoran's eyes never left the old wolf.
The old wolf wagged its tail, tilted its head, and looked at Zhang Daoran with its lush green eyes. A Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead could restore the old wolf's vitality and remove its old state. Even though the old wolf was a beast, he was intelligent and knew that the pill that Zhang Daoran had given him would be beneficial to him.
After rolling a few times on the ground, Belgarath stood up and instantly recovered.
"When the spiritual energy enters the body, there is no change. "The old wolf should already have spiritual veins, and the Spirit Opening Pill can no longer be used to open the spirit." Zhang Daoran frowned, "I wonder if Old Wolf's intelligence has improved?"
"Squat down..."
Zhang Daoran tried issuing the command, but there was a trace of anticipation in his heart.
The old wolf froze for a moment, then crouched down on the ground with his hind legs bent.
"Stand up …"
A trace of happiness appeared on Zhang Daoran's face as he gave the order.
This time, the old wolf didn't hesitate. It immediately stood up, sticking out its tongue and gasping for air. Its tail shook very quickly.
"Get down …"
The smile on Zhang Daoran's face grew wider, and he couldn't help but issue another order.
The old wolf lay flat on the ground, its tail flicking about on the ground, cutting off a lot of dead grass.
"Not bad, you're much more obedient than that bastard Dalong."
The old wolf was not just obedient, but intelligent. Being able to understand Zhang Daoran's orders and make proper movements was not something that could be done simply by following his orders.
Zhang Daoran sat cross-legged on the ground, while the old wolf lay sprawled on the floor, not getting up.
"Dalong was originally an ordinary python, but the Spirit Opening Pill helped open Dalong's spirit vein, so it has a certain level of intelligence. Old Wolf was obviously very intelligent in the first place, and his spirit vein had a certain level of intelligence. Old Wolf had lived for more than ten years, which was equivalent to eighty to ninety years of human life. The older you are, the more refined you become. Waving with his hand, the old wolf crawled to Zhang Daoran's side and caressed his head. Zhang Daoran's heart skipped a beat, "Could it be related to the size of the animal's brain? After taking the Opening Spirit Pill, the intelligence released would be different?"
The dragon was not small in size, its head was not large, and its brain capacity was very small. The old wolf was different, its brain capacity was large. Furthermore, a wolf was a creature with a different brain structure from a human's, but it also had some similarities.
"It seems that in the future when you open your spirit, the fish won't be able to do so, but the birds can either. It's best if you open your spirit, it's better if you open your spirit like a wolf or a dog."
A while ago, Zhang Daoran helped to open the spirit of the carp, and finally failed. The Awakening of the Wild Duck had also failed. Now that he thought about it, it really did have something to do with brain capacity. Brain capacity refers to the proportion of the body the head occupies.
"The old wolf is so intelligent now, there are still eight Spirit Opening Pills left. If he eats all of them, he'll be smarter."
Zhang Daoran was filled with anticipation as he patted Dalong's head and said, "You are lucky to have met this poor Taoist. You are even luckier than those humans. It's possible that you, as a beast, are the first demon on Earth. "
Speaking of the demon, a human and wolf head demon appeared in Zhang Daoran's mind, "In the future, transform into my true form."
Belgarath did not understand. He lay still on the ground, silent.
People often used wolf nature to describe a person's character. A wolf was cunning, cruel, and had no heart of gratitude. If the old wolf had cultivated to a demon, Zhang Daoran could not predict whether the old wolf would suffer a backlash.
Zhang Daoran was not worried at all. He patted the wolf's head and smiled. "This humble Taoist will not do something that I am not confident of. If you backfire on me in the future, I will be burned to ashes."
"This humble one has been able to create the Beast Controlling Talisman, but just in case, I need to control the talisman."
The formation of the ghost caused Zhang Daoran's strength to increase by a large margin. The inheritance talismans couldn't be made because their strength was insufficient. This time, he was able to produce a total of eighteen different talismans.
"I didn't expect to find another animal this time. This Penniless Priest originally wanted to accept a disciple or Daoist child. "
Withdrawing his hand from Old Wolf's head, Zhang Daoran ordered, "Wait here …"
Zhang Daoran entered the grey space and started to sleep. It was winter, and there were still six hours before daybreak. The old wolf was a wild beast, so he could rest anywhere in the forest. Compared to the wilderness, Zhang Daoran still felt the gray space comfortable.
Zhang Daoran walked out of the grey space as soon as he woke up. He suddenly disappeared and reappeared out of nowhere. The old wolf was very sharp. Upon seeing Zhang Daoran, he fell to the ground once more.
Zhang Daoran ignored it and sat on the floor to cultivate.
As the sun rose, the purple clouds rose from the east. Zhang Daoran absorbed the pure spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth, and opened his eyes. The old wolf was lying on the ground, while a recently dead deer beside him was still twitching.
The old wolf couldn't absorb the purple qi from the east. The moonlight at night was the best time for a creature like the old wolf to cultivate. Upon seeing the deer, Zhang Daoran was also surprised.
He picked up the deer, found a small stream, peeled and washed it clean, then folded a few wooden sticks as thick as an arm from the tree to make a grill.
After stabbing the deer into a rack, Zhang Daoran sat cross-legged on the ground, raised his hand and slapped his mouth thrice.
"Hu …"
A long tongue of flame shot out from Zhang Daoran's mouth and landed under the grill.
Zhang Daoran did not know what this wisp of flame was, and he did not introduce it to the other party. The flame would not extinguish even if it fell on the ground without firewood burning on its own. Zhang Daoran glanced at the old wolf, who was hiding far away from him out of fear of the flames, and did not pay any attention to him.
......
The man and the beast had eaten their fill and were walking out of the forest.
The old wolf ran in front to clear the path. He sniffed here and there, and then ran behind Zhang Daoran.
It wasn't until the sun rose did Zhang Daoran finally see a village.
"Old Wolf, wait here. This Penniless Priest will go into the village and buy some materials."
Nowadays, there were many small shops in the countryside. This time, the old wolf caught the deer and was short of materials. The roasted deer didn't taste good. Zhang Daoran decided to buy some ingredients to prepare for the next barbecue.
After buying some, Zhang Daoran turned around and walked out of the village.
"Daoist Priest Feng Chen, I've already told you that this is a spirit locking talisman. There are only eight talismans in total, but you've only found three. Can you still find the rest?"
A voice filled with dissatisfaction came from one of the streets. Zhang Daoran took two steps back and looked into the street. There was a black mass of dozens of people surrounding the entrance of a building. An old Daoist walked around with a compass in his hand. On the streets, there was a simple altar.
With a thought, Zhang Daoran went over and said, "The Soul-Sealing Talisman can lock down the spirit animals for one year, the Soulcaster is healthy for two years, the Soul-Sealing Talisman can lock down the source of wealth for three years, and the Soul-Sealing Talisman can lock down the border for four years. Five years of Soul-Sealing Scholar, six years of Soul-Sealing Temple, seven years of Soul-Sealing Fortune had all been used up, eight years of Soul-Sealing City had been destroyed. This Penniless Priest was right, this family of people has had their spirit sealed for the seventh time. If the spirit locking talisman cannot be broken, or if the magic power was not strong enough to cause the talisman to break, this family of people will definitely be in mourning … "
