Before the sacrificial ceremony officially begins, Jiang Yuebai will stay in Bai Lu's garden to recuperate.
Although she was served very comfortably, the white deer was always staring at her with saliva, which made her uneasy in her practice.
So Jiang Yuebai simply cut off a small piece of his vine and threw it to the white deer for it to taste. The white deer ate it happily, and then...
It's been three days and it's still having diarrhea.
The poisons she stored in her body were not stored in vain. These poisons were not grafted onto her body, but were continuously absorbed from the toxins of other plants and stored in her body. They would be consumed every time she used them.
If not used, it cannot remain in the body for a long time, because her body's healing and purification abilities are in conflict with toxicity and will automatically eliminate these toxins.
After she obtains the Emperor's Liquid to strengthen her demon body, she can try to graft poisonous spiritual plants onto it. Whether it will succeed is not known at this moment.
Bai Lu had diarrhea and no one disturbed Jiang Yuebai. She took out half a lotus pod she got from the water lily and dug out seven lotus seeds as white as jade. After testing them with her roots, she found that these were all crystals of moonlight.
It is formed by condensing and compressing the moonlight. It is somewhat similar to the spirit stones of human beings. One moonlight crystal is equivalent to one year's moonlight.
"Isn't this a bargain for me?"
There was no storage space on the monster's body, so Jiang Yuebai could only absorb all seven lotus seeds and swallow them into his stomach to be safe.
It took Jiang Yuebai seven full days to absorb all seven lotus seeds.
In the middle, the white deer came back once, walking unsteadily and feeling a little weak. It looked at Jiang Yuebai sadly, and angrily bit two other spiritual plants in the other garden.
Before leaving, the deer's eyes rolled around, and no one knew what bad idea it was up to.
At this time, the second pair of leaves on Jiang Yuebai's Yunzhi herb had become the same size as the first pair, and were shaped into the shape of a palm. He could cast spells at least three times at a time, and could slap four times in a row.
The third pair of leaves also sprouted, and the "Thousand Leaves Hand" in the human body's sea of consciousness has already sprouted the fifth pair of leaves. Before the fusion, the demon body must also cultivate the fifth pair, so that the fusion can be better.
At this time, Jiang Yuebai's Yunzhi grass leaves were as ethereal as clouds, emitting a faint moonlight and a subtle fragrance. They were planted among the flowers, and they were independent and isolated like a fairy grass, making all the surrounding spiritual herbs and flowers pale in comparison.
If she were placed in the human territory, she would immediately cause fighting among monsters and human cultivators.
The two little dragonfly demons flew around the cloud-white leaves with awe in their eyes, their wings fanning up clouds and mist, holding hands and laughing happily. Affected by the scent of the cloud grass, a layer of fluorescence appeared on their bodies, showing signs of advancement.
"Oh~ She smells so good, sniff~"
"She hasn't even reached the Divine Pill Realm yet, so why does it feel like she already has a soul strength that exceeds the Divine Pill Realm?"
"I wonder how strong her soul is. I'm so envious."
The sound of little grass monsters whispering could be heard in the night wind. Jiang Yuebai heard a new word and immediately became curious.
"What does a few months mean?"
Jiang Yuebai stretched out the white vine, drilled from his own territory into the garden where the little demons gathered, squeezed in between them and asked.
"Oops, you stepped on my roots."
"Be careful, my petals are very fragile."
"Hmm~ Stick to me~"
Jiang Yuebai absorbed the moonlight while firmly taking root around them. She found that in the entire garden, all the other little monsters were very quiet, only this mushroom, this flower and this vine were relatively active.
The mushroom is a human-faced emerald mushroom with a turquoise cap and human-faced patterns on its white body. It has shaggy eyebrows and looks very depressed.
Its umbrella cap had been bitten by a white deer and has not yet fully healed.
The stems of the black shuang flower are slender, and the flowers are glass-blue. They exude a cool scent and look heavy and crisp.
The thousand-autumn ivy grew tall, coiled around the rocks, and was covered with autumn red leaves. There was a bald patch in the middle of the vine, which had been gnawed by the white deer before.
Two short and fat "hands" stretched out from the Emerald Mushroom, holding Jiang Yuebai's white vine and sticking close to it. The human face patterns on its body turned into a squinting smile. Under the influence of the clouds on Jiang Yuebai's body, the broken umbrella cover began to heal slowly.
Xuanshuanghua stepped aside in fear, and carefully used her leaves to lift her flower up, like a sick beauty lifting a tripod.
Qianqiu Ivy's red leaves rustled as she replied, "Don't you even know the level of your soul?"
Jiang Yuebai's expression was shy. "You are from the countryside, so ignorant."
"In the past, the demon race didn't have these levels. Everyone practiced randomly. Later, influenced by humans, they gradually developed subdivided levels. Most of the demon race's cultivation levels still correspond to the human race's cultivation levels, but the demon race mainly practices the soul, so there is another level of soul strength."
"Just like this moon, from new moon to full moon, every moment is different. We demons are not that smart, so we simply divide it into tenth moon, twenty-third moon, and finally full moon. The closer the soul strength is to the full moon, the higher the efficiency of absorbing the moonlight, and the more powerful it is in mobilizing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and activating demon arts."
"For monsters with ordinary bloodlines, they basically start from the first tenth of the moon when they are born, and absorb the moonlight to slowly strengthen their spirits. Only monsters born with the blood of divine beasts and immortal plants have spirits stronger than 50th of the moon when they are born."
Jiang Yuebai understood. This feeling was just like the spiritual roots of human cultivators, except that the spiritual roots of human cultivators were innate, while the spirits of the demon race could be cultivated after birth.
The strength of the soul determines the efficiency of physical training, the power of magic, and even the success rate of awakening the demon race's latent bloodline.
"What about the full moon?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Xuan Shuang raised her crystal flower with great effort and said, "The full moon is too rare. Now in our demon realm, only the Phoenix, the Golden Winged Dapeng, the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, the Black Turtle and other demon kings are full moons. After the demise of the Xianzhi and Qinglian tribes, our grass and wood tribe now only has the Endless Wood that is full moon. By the way, Master Lu Ling is also about to reach the full moon."
Emerald Mushroom said softly, "Mmm~ Lord Lu Ling is so amazing. He can awaken Bai Ze's bloodline after cultivating for a full moon."
Qian Qiu Teng said, "Ninety percent of the demon tribe can reach the third crescent moon in the Divine Pill Realm, which is already the best in the tribe. We are all at the third crescent moon, and Lord Lu Ling doesn't look down on the little demons below the third crescent moon. We, the grass demon tribe, are not like other demon tribes that have flesh and blood bodies to cultivate Dantian spiritual energy, so our spirits are generally stronger than other demon tribes."
Jiang Yuebai continued to ask, "How do I test this?"
"No need to measure. Just concentrate all your spiritual power and visualize the moon. Slowly you will be able to see the moon in your heart. The shapes of the moon from the tenth to the full moon are as follows..."
Qianqiu Vine used its vine tip to draw different shapes of the moon in the soil, while Xuanshuanghua and Feicui Mushroom urged Jiang Yuebai to visualize faster.
Jiang Yuebai calmed down and tried it, concentrating all his thoughts on the monster's body, restraining his spiritual power and imagining the shape of the bright moon.
In the darkness, shimmering waves gradually appeared, like the moon in the water.
Jiang Yuebai saw the moon in his heart. It was not yet a full moon, but it was already more than 30% of a crescent moon and 60% of a gibbous moon.
"How is it?" The three little demons all stared at Jiang Yuebai.
Jiang Yue Bai Baiteng posed an enchanting arc and nodded under the appearance of Liu Chengyue.
“Sixty percent?!”
The three little demons expressed astonishment, the leaves of the Black Frost Flower shook, and the glass-like flowers fell heavily on the head of the Emerald Mushroom, and the Emerald Mushroom's face turned into a sad face.
The fiery red leaves of the Thousand Autumn Vine also drooped down in autism, "No wonder Master Lu Ling dotes on you so much."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but say, "What on earth do you like about it? It's so rubbish."
"No, Lord Lu Ling loves us!" Xuan Shuanghua raised the flower with its leaves again and said firmly.
Jiang Yuebai sneered, "Hurting you in the name of love is not love. It just gave you a better living environment than the outside world, but it did it for itself. It comes to bite you two whenever it wants. Don't you feel pain?"
The Emerald Mushroom lowered its cap and touched the bitten area with its short, fat 'hands'.
Qianqiu Teng also hid the bald parts that had been bitten aside out of inferiority. Xuanshuanghua looked around with a dazed look on her face.
Jiang Yuebai said earnestly, "I came from the outside world and have seen what true love is. True love is that one would rather die than hinder the lover's cultivation path. If the scum deer really loves you, it will definitely be able to restrain the desire to eat you."
"If it can't control itself, then it doesn't love you, it just wants to eat you! Wake up, grasses, we must be self-reliant and strong, instead of sacrificing ourselves to rely on other deer! Thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all blessings from heaven, we must be like weeds that can never be destroyed, instead of being raised by deer in the garden and receiving the protection of its so-called love!"
Jiang Yuebai pulled out the cane, and Xuanshuanghua cried out, and the glass flower on its head fell to the ground, with the flower stem bent by the pressure.
The scent of Yunzhi grass emanated from the white vine. The broken cap of the Emerald Mushroom quickly recovered, and new buds sprouted from the bald parts of the Thousand-Autumn Ivy, growing into new leaves as bright red as fire.
The stem of the Black Frost Flower grew thicker and stronger, lifting the heavy Glass Flower up by itself.
Three thoughts of gratitude and respect came to Jiang Yuebai, and she smiled secretly.
No matter what bad ideas the scum deer has, she will first light a fire in its backyard so that it will have no time to think about how to eat her!
