Chapter 61: The 108 Tribulations of a Lone Cultivator
This was a method he had been lacking. He had been at Level 6 for a long time, but his Mental Strength was still chaotic. Though it was closer to being scattered than chaotic, compared to a normal person, he had been unable to condense and shape it.
To a Mental Awakened, being able to condense Mental Strength to a desired form was an essential step.
If one could not condense one’s Mental Strength, then they would always be third-rate. It could be said that this was the first ceiling in the way of the path of Cultivators.
Still, the skills he inherited from his sect was lacking. Even if they hailed him as the greatest talent from their sect in the past hundred years, he was still stuck at this stage, unable to make a breakthrough.
It was because of this that when he saw Lu Xuan’s Mental Strength condense into the form of a Golden Dragon, he was scared speechless.
He had only heard hearsay about condensing Mental Strength, but the Cultivation Legacy had been cut off, and it had basically become the stuff of legends.
The method that Lu Xuan was passing down to him now would help him to condense his Mental Strength. It was as though Lu Xuan had created a new path for him to climb the cliff before him, allowing him to move past this dead end.
His eyes flashed with an expression of wild euphoria, but when he looked at Lu Xuan, he hid his look of joy.
Lu Xuan quietly made his way forward, and beyond some low underbrush, two wild beasts were facing off with each other.
One of them was a porcupine, and its body was covered with sharp quills. Compared to a regular porcupine, this one was very much larger, almost reaching the size of an average water buffalo.
Opposite this porcupine, there was a leopard. Compared to regular leopards, this one seemed to have eaten some kind of strange fruit and undergone a mutation. Its entire body was a dark blue color, and in the darkness of night, it had the slight effect of concealing the leopard.
“There are leopards in Wuyi mountain? And porcupines?” Lu Xuan had his doubts, but from what he could tell, these two unusual creatures were not the indigenous wildlife. It was very possible that something had drawn them here.
Ever since the world had changed, the changes were not limited to mankind, and even the animals in the wild were undergoing constant transformations. When they were still regular wild animals, they had a limited range of activities. Yet now that they had transformed, their range of activity was much larger than before.
As the two strange beasts faced off with each other, standing between them, there was a small tree about 40 centimeters high, with six shining silver fruits hanging on it.
“As I thought, it’s the Marrow Cleansing Fruit!”
Lu Xuan’s eyes instantly lit up. This was the same kind of Marrow Cleansing Fruit as the one he had consumed before.
At this point in time, the Marrow Cleansing Fruit was releasing a bizarre fragrance, which had attracted these two strange creatures.
Even so, compared to the fruit tree he saw back then, this fruit free was probably still in the early stages of its transformation. When Lu Xuan saw it in his past life, it was already several meters tall.
The two strange beasts were confronting each other. They had not noticed the arrival of Lu Xuan.
Unlike these strange beasts, who had become stronger through their mutations, Lu Xuan’s cultivation was a product of his own efforts, so he had extremely good control over his own breathing.
Even when he was this close, the two strange beasts did not have the slightest notion that he was here.
“Roar!”
The leopard seemed to finally reach the limits of its patience, and made the first move to attack, after letting out a low roar.
Swish!
The leopard moved extremely quickly, and in a flash, it had appeared right in front of the porcupine.
