Chapter 200: Chapter 129: Feeding the Giant Python 2
Translator: 549690339
By the early morning, Lin Yi used his accumulated opportunity for enlightenment. At this moment, it seemed that he had a bit of understanding about the array in front of him.
However, for an array of this level, his one day of enlightenment couldn’t even grasp a tiny fraction of it.
After the enlightenment, Lin Yi opened his eyes and fell into deep thought. He felt that even if he used the opportunity for enlightenment for seven days, he might not be able to find the way into the array.
Because, regardless of the depth of any area of the medicine garden, it can’t be accessed by Qi Refining Cultivators. With the strength at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, the likelihood of entering the array is absolutely zero.
He was wondering before, if the challenge of the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, was not to enter the garden, but something else.
Lin Yi did not continue to linger in mid-air, but returned to the open space to think about the words spoken in a bland tone in the Alchemy room.
The test of the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden and the Secret Realm Five Elements Area both have their own final medicine gardens, growing different precious spiritual grass. Why was the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden chosen as part of the inheritance test?
What differentiates this medicine garden from the others?
He slowly raised his head and looked at the green giant python in front of him. The only difference between the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden and other herb gardens was that there was a Spirit Beast guarding it.
Could it be that the test of the Giant Spirit Tree is not about getting into the medicine garden, but about the Spirit Beast in front of him?
Lin Yi got up, respectfully bowed deeply to the green python, and said, “Senior Spirit Beast, is the test of the Giant Spirit Tree in the Inheritance Sequence carried out with you?”
The green giant python slowly opened its eyes and gave him a cold look, without any response.
However, Lin Yi had a smile on his face, because he had confirmed his thoughts. Previously, no matter what he said, the green python kept its eyes closed and showed no response.
Now, even though it hasn’t responded, the opening of its eyes represented a certain kind of reaction.
Lin Yi opened the Title System and wore the [Junior Dung Cleaner] title. After breaking through the foundation, this title did not advance to the next stage with daily feeding of Spirit Beasts.
According to his guess, he might need to use the tj.tle again to awaken an animal’s bloodline for it to level up.
The current effect of this title is: Animal Affinity +15, Favorability Increase +30%, Success Rate of Feeding Unknown Animals +30% (Long-term fed animals have a 7% chance to awaken their ancestral bloodline).
Even if he guessed wrong and the test was not on the giant python, he could use the remaining seven days to improve his favorability with the green python. There might be unexpected gains.
At this moment, Lin Yi did not wear the “Little Compassion Little Mercy” title. The aura exuding from the python suggested that it was of at least the realm of a human Golden Core cultivator.
If he wanted to successfully feed it in a short period of time by relying on the Little Luck state, it could likely consume a massive amount of Virtue Points.
Besides, even if he succeeded in feeding it once, it wouldn’t instantly improve his relationship with the python. The title effect applies to the success rate of feeding unfamiliar animals, not the rate of successfully taming them.
Moreover, up to now, the look in the python’s eyes conveyed cold ruthlessness, so he needed to proceed gradually.
“Ah, I’m a bit hungry. Let’s eat something first.” As he spoke, Lin Yi took a small wooden table out of his Storage Bag and placed it on the ground, then produced a large bag of Demon Beast meat jerky and a jug of wine.
Next, he enjoyed eating the Demon Beast meat jerky and drinking the wine, feeling very content.
The green giant python opened its eyes and looked at Lin Yi, still with a cold and ruthless expression. But there was a flicker of doubt in its eyes. It seemed to find the boy somewhat pleasing now.
Seeing that the green python had opened its eyes, Lin Yi hastily stood up, took out a plate, filled it with Demon Beast meat jerky, and held it up in his hands.
He walked over to the python and offered it up, “Senior Spirit Beast, you have worked hard guarding the medicine garden. This is my token of respect for you, please feel free to eat.”
However, the green giant python didn’t even bother to lower its head for a glance, completely ignoring Lin Yi’s feeding attempt.
Lin Yi wasn’t discouraged, smiling he said, “Senior, it’s here for you, you can enjoy it anytime you want.”
As he spoke, he took out a wooden table from his storage bag, and laid the plate of Demon Beast Meat on it, pouring a large bowl of wine as well.
In feeding animals, the act of feeding is enough, and you don’t need to hold the food to their mouth, he was merely expressing his respect earlier.
An idea once crossed his mind, incessantly feeding, a few seconds each time, keep feeding if it didn’t eat, perhaps he could accelerate the feeding success, increasing favorability.
However, he quickly abandoned this idea. This is a Spirit Beast raised by a Dan God, after all. What hasn’t it seen? Feeding every few seconds might seem like a mischief or provocation in the eyes of this green giant python.
It might just gobble him up in one bite or even throw him out of the Giant Spirit Tree, not only failing to increase favorability, but may also increase disgust.
After a while, Lin Yi ate some Demon Beast Meat. Seeing that the green giant python didn’t even move, he walked up smiling, “Senior, these dried meats have become a bit stale. I’ll get you some fresh ones.”
Saying that, he took out some more dried beast meat from his storage bag, put it on a plate, poured another bowl of wine, and continued to lay it on the table.
Although he could not succeed in feeding, the effect of improving favorability was at play. Each feeding attempt could invisibly increase good feelings.
The switched out meat didn’t go straight back to the storage bag, Lin Yi ate it in front of the python, then began to refine the power of Qi and blood in the meat.
Next, he would replace the food with a fresh batch every half an hour or so. Another day passed like this, the green giant python hadn’t eaten any of the food.
Nevertheless, it did seem like the python’s gaze at him had grown a bit less cold, a sign of success.
The next morning, Lin Yi didn’t continue to feed the Demon Beast Meat. Feeding the same food all the time was too monotonous, so he flew away in his Flying Boat, leaving the Giant Spirit Tree.
However, he did put away the two tables. If someone came, he could pretend to have just arrived at the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, without attracting too much attention.
Late, he went to the distant forests and caught some rabbits.
Because the forest near the Giant Spirit Tree was home to many powerful monster beasts, he didn’t want to bring trouble upon himself, it was better to catch some rabbits first.
However, the rabbits deep in the secret realm weren’t so easy to catch, nurtured by the Spiritual Energy, they evolved into small Demon Beasts. Their running speed was extraordinary, he had to use quite an effort to catch seven or eight of them.
By the time he returned to the vicinity of the Giant Spirit Tree, he saw someone on a Flying Boat flying towards the top of the Herb Garden. It seemed someone had finally arrived at the herb garden.
It had been 21 days since the Secret Realm opened, and six days remained until the Dan God’s Cave Mansion would open.
Lin Yi put the rabbits into the Spirit Pet Bag. This bag, like the storage bag, could hold live animals. It was much more expensive than the storage bag.
A storage bag required only a few hundred Spirit Stones, but this Spirit Pet Bag required tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. He could only afford such after a year of painstaking cultivation of the Foundation Building Material Yuan Ling Grass.
But his earnings didn’t just come from cultivating Spiritual Grass. Every now and then, he would sell some of his talisman templates which had not yet reached the Great Perfect Level, and discreetly sold some of the pills he refined after they matured, using various channels.
Upon reaching the base of the Giant Spirit Tree, Lin Yi called out his Flying
Boat, and carefully flew up. When he reached the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden, he saw a strict-looking cultivator, who seemed to be nervously staring at the green giant python.
“Eh, looks like a fellow Daoist got here first? 1 am a disciple of the Liu Yun Sect.” Lin Yi said to the cultivator’s back, unable to recognize the sect from his clothing.
After entering the secret realm, some sect disciples changed their clothes to prevent rival sects from recognizing and attacking them. He had also changed his clothes after entering the secret realm..
