Chapter 544: Progress in Cultivation, Little Qing Passes the Tribulation
"Boom boom boom"
The stone gate slowly opened, emitting a dull sound.
Upon learning of Elder Yan's impending nirvana, Liu Yu felt an inexplicable sense of sadness, and his mood became heavy.
Returning to the cave dwelling to sort out his emotions, he waited for the lake of the heart to calm down before planning to directly enter the training room to cultivate.
But at that moment, the spiritual beast pouch suddenly transmitted a huge fluctuation!
"Uh?"
"Is it Little Qing?!"
Liu Yu touched the slightly trembling spiritual beast pouch, instantly sensing its current state through the master-servant contract.
At that moment, Little Qing's condition was quite peculiar; its spirit was somewhat listless, but its life essence was slowly rising, gradually becoming stronger.
“Stuck at the peak of the second stage for decades, is it finally about to break through the bottleneck?”
This thought flashed through his mind as he quickly walked toward the spiritual beast chamber.
"Step step"
Arriving at the spiritual beast chamber, Liu Yu took off the spiritual beast pouch and poured it out, a massive black shadow instantly appearing in the cold, damp room.
Five to six zhang in length, with a waist as thick as a grinding wheel, its skin was a pale blue, resembling jade.
The snake's head was not flat but somewhat three-dimensional, naturally exuding a sense of majesty.
Over the decades, Little Qing's appearance had changed significantly, now vastly different from the yinming spirit serpent.
The once blue-black skin had transformed into a pure blue color.
This indicated that its bloodline had completely evolved, and it had fully reached the level of a Spirit Demon.
"Breaking through the bottleneck to condense the demonic elixir at the level of a Spirit Demon is not difficult."
"Although for a demonic beast, advancing to the third stage in just over a hundred years is indeed very fast."
"But over the years, I have invested a lot of resources, so there shouldn't be any instability in its foundation."
"Dragon Blood Fruit, Nourishing Spirit Pill, demonic beast meat, demonic beast blood."
"With so many spiritual objects nourishing it, Little Qing's foundation should be much stronger than that of an ordinary demonic beast."
Liu Yu's mind raced, assessing the current state of his spiritual beast and the possibility of condensing the demonic elixir to advance to the third stage.
Soon, he smiled, concluding that the situation was promising.
“Ziss ziss”
Little Qing opened its eyes with some difficulty, struggling to flick its tongue, expressing its joy and affection upon seeing its master.
However, due to its current condition, it was somewhat dispirited and did not rush over as quickly as usual.
“Get promoted, little one.”
“Only after your promotion can you help me.”
Liu Yu approached and patted Little Qing's head, conveying wave after wave of comforting messages.
He could feel the pure and rich demonic power within its massive demonic body, as well as the active and robust vitality.
Both were very lively at that moment, circulating along an enigmatic trajectory, causing Little Qing's aura to slowly rise.
The essence of life was transforming bit by bit, gradually nearing the limit of the second stage.
“Ziss ziss”
Little Qing languidly flicked its tongue, indicating that it would definitely help its master, and then obediently closed its eyes, quickly falling into a deep sleep.
Its aura continued to rise slowly while its demonic body gradually grew stronger.
Even though the increase was not large, it was extremely stable; if this situation continued, it was likely to successfully advance in some time.
“Possessing the Spirit Demon bloodline and a very solid foundation, Little Qing's success rate of condensing the demonic elixir is very high, almost reaching sixty percent.”
“However, this sixty percent is ultimately just a theoretical figure.”
“Whether it can successfully advance still depends on its own fortune.”
