Chapter 296: Chapter 173: The Giant Python Under the Misty Forest Gorge_2
Translator: 549690339
Suddenly, Lin Yi saw a pair of black eyes in the faint mist, their size comparable to lanterns, shining in the fog.
His complexion changed slightly, could it be that this giant python was still in the Misty Forest Gorge, perhaps failing its transformation as once it succeeds, it might ascend to the Upper Realm.
As the mist thinned, he saw a gigantic body lying against the walls of the gorge, climbing upwards. The python still maintained its white color, no wonder it could hide in the mist without being detected by others.
With that said, the green giant python protecting the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden might not be the offspring of the python in the Misty Forest Gorge. He was still unsure whether this white python was male or female.
Soon, they reached the bottom of the valley. The python’s body was coiled up, both in terms of length and width, it far exceeded the size of the green giant python from the Giant Spirit Tree.
Not only that, Lin Yi saw a large patch of snake skin nearby, it should be the shed from the python present.
At the bottom of the Misty Forest Gorge, he felt a surge of rich spiritual energy, even denser than in the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden. No wonder the python chose to cultivate here.
At this moment, Zhang Dao Xuan lightly patted the white python and said, “White Painting, come down and meet my disciple.”
After a while, an enormous head descended from the thinning mist above, it gave off the sensation of a monstrous creature descending from the sky at the end of the world.
It reminded Lin Yi of a game named “God of War”. In the game, there was a world snake named Jormungand, a creature of Norse mythology. When he saw it for the first time, he was quite shocked.
After getting used to it, he even threw an ax at the world snake, but unfortunately, this snake didn’t have a health bar, otherwise, there would be nothing to fear.
But now, this white python of the Misty Forest Gorge gave him an even more terrifying feeling than the world snake. After all, that was just a game, and this scene before him was real.
The white python’s body began to move, lowering its head until it was parallel with them, then affectionately rubbed Zhang Dao Xuan’s hand.
Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but marvel, it really deserved to be a spiritual pet raised by the Pill Immortal Master. Regardless of its size, it behaved just like a pet, showing such affection towards its master.
The top of the white python’s head was smooth and didn’t have any horns, but he saw black traces left by thunder and lightning on top of its head.
It’s said that when a monster beast transforms, it must face the tribulation of lightning, presumably, this transformation is at the same realm as the transformation into a dragon.
Zhang Dao Xuan patted the snake’s head and pointed at Lin Yi, saying with a smile, “This is my disciple. Don’t hurt him in the future.”
The white python leaned its head over, sniffed at Lin Yi, and nodded its head with a calm look in its eyes.
At this time, Zhang Dao Xuan patted the white python’s head and slowly said: “White Painting is a small white snake that I’ve raised. It transformed into a python and now, after a thousand years, it has reached the realm of transformation into a dragon, which is also the key to transforming into a human form.
“Therefore, it needs to overcome the Tribulation of Lightning. If it succeeds, it will transform from a snake into a dragon, gaining the ability to transform into a human for cultivation. If it fails, it sheds a layer of skin, its realm drops by one level, and it needs decades of cultivation before it can undergo the Heavenly Tribulation again.”
“And human cultivators will only face the Heavenly Tribulation when they become immortals. This is why we’re referred to as the spirits of all things.”
Lin Yi nodded, it was true that humans had unique cultivation conditions. Compared to monster beasts, humans had more conveniences. This was also why monster beasts strive to transform into humans.
As the spirit of all things, humans have a limited lifespan, and so do monster beasts. Judging by the lifespan of the python, it couldn’t support many more failures in overcoming the tribulation.
“Alright, White Painting, keep cultivating. We’re leaving.” Zhang Dao Xuan patted the white python’s head and said with a smile.
The white python rubbed its head on his hand again and lightly nodded its head.
Then, with a wave of Zhang Dao Xuan’s hand, they were directly teleported to the Misty Forest Herb Garden.
At this time, Lin Yi also wore the [Student] title, and started to study the knowledge of basic spirit grass with Zhang Dao Xuan.
In the Misty Forest Herb Garden, he explained all the basic knowledge about Spirit Grass in about six hours, covering everything thoroughly.
He listened carefully, not daring to be even slightly inattentive, and as a result, he gained 15 Cultivation levels.
Lin Yi felt somewhat embarrassed. He hadn’t even met the real body of the Pill Immortal Master, yet he’d already harvested 20 Foundation Establishment levels of cultivation.
If this were in the Liu Yun Sect, it would take about sixty hours of classes to gain those 20 cultivation levels.
“Alright, you can’t learn too much at once. Take a rest. If you have something to do, you can go and deal with it.” After completing his lecture about the Spirit Grass in the Misty Forest Herb Garden, Zhang Dao Xuan waved his hand and said.
Lin Yi nodded subtly, he was planning to propose this himself. Even when taking advantage of something, it was important to take it slow, not trying to reap everything at once.
Even though the Pill Immortal Master was in the Upper Realm and didn’t notice his cultivation being slightly reduced, it was always better to be cautious.
After bidding farewell to his Master, he left some food at the edge of the gorge and then bowed towards the mist, “Senior Spirit Beast, here are some foods I prepared. You can taste them when you’re free.”
After saying that, he used the Teleportation Mantra to enter the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.
Upon entering the medicine garden, Lin Yi saw Zhi Ling meditating while sitting on the green giant python. He laughed and said, “Zhi Ling, I’m leaving, are you coming with me or staying here?”
Without hesitation, Zhi Ling jumped down from the python and ran towards Lin Yi, jumping directly onto his shoulder.
“You little clingy spirit, fine, let’s go together. Senior, we will take our leave now.” Lin Yi patted Zhi Ling’s head and bowed towards the green python.
The green python nodded its head and saw Lin Yi and Zhi Ling disappear into the Giant Spirit Tree Herb Garden.
When Lin Yi returned to the Golden Sword Peak Cave Mansion and activated the mansion’s Protective Array, a Sound Transmission Talisman flew over. He triggered it and heard the words of Senior Brother Zhou Yun Feng.
In the talisman, Zhou Yun Feng roughly spoke about the investigation results of the Hall of Laws and the final punishment. Through a Soul Search, it was confirmed that Feng Yu Cheng had indeed colluded with the Xuan Yin Sect in an attempt to trap him and then bring him back to Xuan Yin Sect./p>
As for Feng Yu Cheng’s cousin Xie Xian Lin, and the immortal guarding Jade Peak City, they were not aware of the truth and unintentionally acted as accomplices.
In the end, Feng Yu Cheng was sentenced to death. Since Xie Xian Lin and the immortal were disciples of Hua Yang Lineage, they were only penalized a few years worth of resources after Hua Yang Zhen Ren intervened./p>
At the end of the transmission, Zhou Yun Feng also mentioned that Liu Qiao Ling had somewhat recovered after being treated by the Pill Hall and wanted to see him.
Looking at the Sound Transmission Talisman slowly turning into ashes, Lin Yi’s face showed a hint of solemnity. A disciple who had only reach Large Completion of Qi Refining was actually worth the intervention of Hua Yang Zhen Ren. This was clearly aimed against the Golden Sword Peak.
If it wasn’t for Feng Yu Cheng colluding with the Xuan Yin sect and deserving death, this Hua Yang Zhen Ren, would definitely plead for him.
Luckily, he had joined the Golden Sword Peak. If he had joined Hua Yang Peak, he would probably have been devoured by Hua Yang Zhen Ren, leaving not even his bones behind.
However, as long as he didn’t leave the sect, Hua Yang Zhen Ren couldn’t do anything to him. It was really good to have a powerful master.
Then, Lin Yi remembered Zhou Yun Feng’s last words that Liu Qiao Ling wanted to see him. After giving it some thought, he decided to visit her.
In the mortal world, an incurable mental illness seemed insignificant under the methods of cultivators.
Therefore, Lin Yi took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and sent a message to Zhou Yun Feng expressing that he had come out of seclusion and was willing to meet Liu Qiao Ling. He would be waiting for him in the Golden Sword Peak Plaza.
After the talisman flew away, he left the cave mansion and arrived at the Golden Sword Peak Plaza, waiting for Zhou Yun Feng’s arrival.
