Chapter 358 Volume C: Raising Snakes, Cutting the Talisman

It seems that the potential displayed by this winged fire snake is more powerful than imagined.

Chen Huaisheng didn't know that although the hatching of the Winged Fire Snake required fire-based materials for baking, there were very few people who specifically found enough five-element divine objects such as Red Rock Essence for careful hatching, and they also used Xuanhuang God. Soil, an earthy god, can be used as a supplement.

It can be said that this Winged Fire Snake egg was cultivated according to top standards from the beginning, directly surpassing more than 99% of successfully cultivated Winged Fire Snakes.

He only felt that the heat released from the entire body of the young fire-winged snake in his hand was extremely strong, far exceeding his expectations.

The young winged fire snake quickly fell into a comatose state after swallowing a large amount of fire spirit grass juice.

This state of sleeping and eating after eating will last for three days. After three days, the Winged Fire Snake will shed a layer of baby snake skin, and then it will begin to enter the real growth state, taking various fire-type spiritual plants every day. With animal meat, it is not until after the age of three that it officially enters a stable and mature state.

Before the age of three, the Winged Fire Snake is in a youthful growth stage, but its power as a spiritual beast will gradually become apparent.

"Senior brother, how long is the lifespan of this fire-winged snake? Is the fire spirit grass planted enough?"

Sandaling, who has already advanced to the fourth level of Qi refining, appears more confident and mature than ever before. He is finally able to reach the middle level of Qi refining. This should be a huge breakthrough. He is also grateful to Chen Huaisheng.

"The lifespan of the Winged Fire Snake is closely related to its domestication status. If it is domesticated well, it may be a hundred years old. If it is not domesticated well, it will lose its aura in ten to twenty years and its lifespan will be running out."

If a Winged Fire Snake is properly tamed, it can usually live to be eighty years old, but it is rare. Fifty years old is considered the normal lifespan of a Winged Fire Snake.

But Chen Huaisheng also knew that the Winged Fire Snake would be more powerful after entering a stable period, and as long as sufficient fire-type spiritual plant meat could be supplemented, its power would continue to grow steadily, making it a trump card that was completely worth investing in.

"Senior brother, do you think it's possible for me to tame a spiritual beast?" Sandeling looked at the young fire-winged snake in Chen Huaisheng's hand and was also very excited.

"Theoretically, anyone can tame it, but in fact, we need to consider whether it is cost-effective to tame a spiritual beast." Chen Huaisheng did not intend to attack the other party, but he also wanted to make it clear to the other party: "De Ling, you have also seen the Winged Fire Snake every day. Food costs a lot, and it would be easier to domesticate it. However, if it is delayed and not fed in time, its quality will immediately decline and be irreparable..."

"Senior brother, are other spiritual beasts like this?" Sandeling was a little disappointed and couldn't help but ask again.

This is indeed a problem. The investment is too large and once the quality is delayed, it is not cost-effective.

"Not necessarily. The Winged Fire Snake is quite picky in this regard. Other spiritual beasts also have various special requirements, each of which is different." Seeing the other party's appearance, Chen Huaisheng shook his head: "De Ling, you are not suitable yet. There are too many things to consider. Once you have reached the advanced stage of Qi refining and your spiritual practice has stabilized, it is not too late to consider these things again.”

Sandeling nodded silently.

The cost of taming a spiritual beast is huge, which is far beyond what he can consider now. He envies Chen Huaisheng's current state of ease, but he also knows that he cannot compare with others, and he must first improve his spiritual realm steadily.

Now that he has advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, he should spend the next few years practicing hard to attack the fifth and sixth levels.

He knew that his talent was not too high. If he could advance to the advanced level of Qi refining within ten years, he would be considered perfect.

If you follow the person in front of you, you may not be able to realize your wish.

Chen Huaisheng took a few people to carefully check the various spiritual plants planted, and then left after confirming that there were no mistakes.

Only then did he feel the pressure. This fire-winged snake would be devouring fire spiritual plants every day for three days, so he had to store a considerable amount in his storage bag.

These fire-type spiritual plants are generally not sold outside, and you basically have to grow them yourself. But once you leave the mountain gate, you must be fully prepared.

This also means that the planting in this mountain gate cannot be left behind at all, and planting must be rotated several seasons a year.

Plants such as Chunyang Zizhi and Jinyan Bean take half a year to mature, while Lihuo Cloud Vine and Edelweiss can be harvested in two to three months. They cannot always feed the Winged Fire Snake a type of spiritual plant, so they have to change it.

At this time, Chen Huaisheng felt like he had a father, but he hoped that this guy could really show his power when he grew up, otherwise he would really be at a big loss.

After returning to Dao She, Zhao Liangkui was already waiting.

"Decided?" Chen Huaisheng didn't waste any nonsense. Seeing the other party nodding, he stopped talking, "Okay, Yan Cao Dan has been prepared for you. In three months, devote yourself to it with no distractions, but don't rush for success. , Haste makes waste, De Ling, before De Lu comes out of seclusion, you will take care of Liang Kui. "

Sand Ling has advanced to the fourth level of Qi Refining, and Zhao Liangkui has been impatient for a long time, but Hu Delu has not yet been able to successfully escape, and the three of them are now chasing after each other.

Sandling naturally had no objection.

"I estimate that there may be some action at the mountain gate in the near future, but it probably won't be your turn, so you just need to stay at the mountain gate with peace of mind..."

Zhao Liangkui and Sandang Ling were both a little nervous: "But what about Lingyun Sect? Senior brother you also want to..."

"There is no shirking the responsibility." Chen Huaisheng stretched out, "Eat the sect, use the sect, and you belong to the sect. If the sect is in trouble, you can't just act like a tortoise. Whether you live or die, you have to go through it." ah."

Sanderling and Zhao Liangkui were shocked when they heard this. They rarely heard Chen Huaisheng talk about a war in such a pessimistic tone. "Brother, is it really serious?"

"Yuelu Sect is not weak. In terms of strength, it is probably better than before Uncle Ding and his men joined the sect. In addition, there is also the Tianhe Sect with ulterior motives..." Chen Huaisheng pondered and said, "But we have to fight this battle."

"If the Tianhe Sect also joins, I'm afraid our sect won't be able to win." Zhao Liangkui was a little anxious: "I heard that the Tianhe Sect is stronger than the Yuelu Sect. How can we resist the two sects together?"

"That's not how you fight a war." Chen Huaisheng shook his head. "The Tianhe Sect also has grievances against the Yuelu Sect. How could they sincerely support the Yuelu Sect? They just want us and the Yuelu Sect to lose, and they will reap the benefits. Similarly, we and the Yuelu Sect have anticipated this. We have to fight, but we can't let others benefit. So this is also a dilemma. It all depends on the decision of the head of the sect on the scene."

All parties can calculate these situations, but fighting itself has too many unpredictable situations. You want to stop at the right time, but once there are casualties in the war, the casualties are too heavy, or important figures on both sides are killed or injured, can you still control the situation?

I'm afraid that the emotions of the disciples behind both sides will force you to fight until one side can't accept it.

Not to mention that there is a spoiler who is eyeing the situation and will do everything he can to provoke the two sides to fight more fiercely.

Once a war breaks out, casualties are inevitable. No one can predict how far the war will go. For Chen Huaisheng, it is just a matter of improving his combat power as much as possible, preserving himself, and killing the enemy.

When Min Qingyu brought the family heirloom ghost scissors, Chen Huaisheng threw himself into the paper-cutting plan without any hesitation.

The book of the secret art of ghost scissors only explains the basic techniques of how to cut out puppet paper objects. How to use and experience it depends on the scissors' own perception.

Chen Huaisheng spent two days concentrating on it before he started to cut paper.

The whole Taiyin yellow talisman paper was unfolded by himself. Chen Huaisheng cut out a piece first, and silently recited the divine talisman rune in his heart.

The book provides a variety of paper-cutting patterns, and the scissors can cut them according to their own intentions and spiritual power.

Gradually, the divine talisman rune floated in his heart, and his mind was penetrated, extending along his arm to the ghost scissors in his hand, and a faint light flowed on the ghost scissors.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Huaisheng activated the water and fire spiritual power and began to cut.

After all, it was his first time, and this kind of work was really too unfamiliar. As he cut it, the Taiyin Huanglu paper creaked, which made Chen Huaisheng a little nervous.

The Taiyin Huanglu paper was only this big, and he calculated that he could probably cut out twenty or so sheets.

So he cut out twenty-one Huanglu papers of different sizes according to his own cuts.

This means that if one sheet is cut to waste, there will be one less sheet. Don't cut all of this Taiyin Huanglu paper to waste, then you will really want to cry without tears.

The ghost scissors cut slowly, and the Huanglu paper rotated according to Chen Huaisheng's hands, and the scissors finally cut out a person's head.

Taking another breath, calming his mind, the ghost scissors were working hard, cutting out the shoulders along the neck, but as soon as the Huanglu paper moved, the scissors passed by, and with a sizzling sound, the entire Huanglu paper dimmed.

It's over, it's useless.

Chen Huaisheng was extremely annoyed and couldn't help but clench his fist and beat his legs.

The power of water and fire was not evenly mixed, and the water was too strong, resulting in imbalance between yin and yang, and wasting one sheet.

Come again!

He adjusted his breath again and slowly urged the spiritual power of water and fire.

Chen Huaisheng realized that this job was no easier than practicing. Every trace of aura must be extremely refined, otherwise the aura would be transmitted to the yellow talisman paper through the ghost scissors and would be immediately reflected, and the slightest mistake would be wasted.

His eyes were fixed, and his fingers gently held the yellow talisman paper and moved along the force of the ghost scissors. The aura flowed out from the blade of the ghost scissors, cutting the yellow talisman paper,...

Seeing that a human figure was about to take shape, Chen Huaisheng was secretly happy.

His mind trembled slightly, the aura was mixed, the cut edge tilted, and the yellow talisman paper dimmed again.

Damn it!

Chen Huaisheng almost dropped the ghost scissors!

Another sheet wasted!

Come again!

Chen Huaisheng calmed down.

He knew that he was a little confused.

He had to calm down and not rush for success.

There were only 21 Taiyin Huanglu in total. If he continued to waste like this, maybe only one out of seven or eight would succeed. That would be really too cowardly and suffocating.

The reason why paper cutting and puppet use should be done by the same person to achieve the best effect is that the puppet cut out can best fit the current state of the user.

So this is especially important for the tacit understanding between cutting and using in terms of aura.
