Wet viviparity

Chapter 53: Spirit, Cooking
Water beast spirit, or perhaps water carp spirit is a more appropriate name.

The three water carp spirits had been jumping around in front of Ji Ming for a while, allowing Ji Ming to once again feel his own innocence and kindness.

He actually thought that the Golden Lion Ape gave him a good thing. Well, change your mind. This is indeed a good thing, a good thing suitable for fighting in the water.

These three water carp spirits are each nearly one meter long. Judging from the solidity of their spirits and the divine light in their eyes, they were indeed spirits when they were alive.

But unless I really become a "water ghost or river monster", it would be difficult to use them on land.

Ji Ming really couldn't understand why, after being refined into a spirit, it was still jumping on the ground like it did when it was alive.

Ji Ming knocked his insect head, thinking that he was too happy too early. He must be more cautious next time when facing unexpected wealth.

"Gululu!"

Bubbles were popping up in the pool, and Ji Ming quickly collected his spirit and acted as if he had not used the command flag.

"Walk!

We won't bear this humiliation, we'll go find it ourselves."

The Golden Lion Ape came out of the pond panting and cursing, and called Ji Ming to go into the mountains.

"Has that man's followers been here?"

Ji Ming had a vague guess and asked.

When Ji Ming saw the appearance of the Golden Lion Ape, he thought that the situation was the same as in the old temple, and the mountain ghost had succumbed to the intimidation of the Four Sad Clouds Temple.

"No, but she doesn't want to offend that person." Jin Nie Yuan was so angry that his face was distorted. He bared his teeth and said, "After all, he is a ghost of the same mountain and a subordinate of Tu Bo. How can he be so cowardly? Really..."

With a "bang", the water in the pool exploded, and a cluster of thick fog spewed out from the pool, covering the water.

In the thick fog, a mountain waterfall hung upside down, and two red lights appeared faintly, leaning forward.

Behind the two red lights, there was a long shadow faintly emerging from the fog, crisscrossing and winding over the pond. It must be a snake demon without a doubt.

An ethereal voice was heard.

"On the third peak!"

Hearing the voice, the Golden Lion Ape was overjoyed and immediately headed towards the third peak.

"Too reckless!" Ji Ming complained silently in his heart. He glanced at the giant snake in the pool and had to follow it.

"What mountain is this?"

Jiming asked along the way.

"The Mountain of Dangerous Birds is a famous mountain in this area. It is surrounded by eight peaks and the inner valley is full of fog. It is the place where all birds can truly attain enlightenment."

"Is it the way to attain the truth and the way of humanity?"

"Of course it is the human way. If the Hundred Birds really obtain the fruit of the Earthly Immortal Dao, then this place may become a land of demons."

As they walked and talked, the monkey and the insect quickly crossed the hill and arrived at the third peak.

We walked from broad daylight to midnight, and almost searched the entire Third Peak, but we didn't find any clues.

"Why don't you tell me another fortune?"

Ji Ming put away his phantom limbs, sat cross-legged to rest, and suggested.

Since he reached the top of the mountain, Ji Ming knew that this was not the place where the celestial being was born, because the mountain top shown by the precious eye did not match this place.

"I know the mountain ghost in this mountain. She is not the kind of person who likes to play tricks on others."

"If that's the case, then she must have other intentions in asking us to come to the third peak!" Ji Ming analyzed.

"It's so quiet."

The Golden Lion Ape suddenly realized something and said, "This peak is too quiet. It doesn't even look like a mountain."

"Has anyone been here?"

"Yes, someone has been here."

"Are you still in the mountains?"

“No.” Jin Nie Yuan shook his head and said, “Based on the movements we made, if they were still here, they would have come out to exorcise the demons long ago.”

Ji Ming raised his upper body and asked curiously, "You are the son of the Water Lord of Nanpan River. Do those people dare to attack you?" Jin Niyuan laughed at himself, and his high spirits subsided a little. He said, "The Water Lord has thousands of descendants. What am I?"

"You should always be more cautious!"

Ji Ming understood the cruel living environment of monsters in the human world, but as one of the gods of rivers and lands, Golden Lion Ape should be a little special even though he has a monster body!

"Yes." Jin Ni Yuan admitted: "The lower-level disciples are naturally wary, and the middle-level ones also give a little face. As for the upper-level ones..."

Ji Ming was speechless for a moment.

He was like a rich man complaining to a poor man that the food tonight was not to his liking. As expected, the joys and sorrows of each monster were different.

"It seems like these few days are destined to yield no results. I'll take you back to Hengshan first."

"it is good!"

Ji Ming nodded in response.

After being out for so long, he really missed his own nest. He said to the Golden Lion Ape, "If you have any news, please contact me."

Ji Ming didn't know that his words deeply moved the Golden Lion Ape.

In Jin Niyuan's view, his secret search for the celestial being meant going against the entire Sibeiyun Temple, and even Taiping Mountain.

The centipede monster in front of him was willing to stand with him regardless of the danger, which was the embodiment of loyalty.

After sending Ji Ming back to Hengshan, he took out a few spiritual fruits, stuffed them into Ji Ming's hands, and said considerately: "After eating, you don't have to put away the fruit core, it can't grow a tree.

In the future, I will give you a spiritual fruit sapling and teach you a set of spiritual planting methods."

Ji Ming's head felt hot. He didn't expect that his little move was seen by the Golden Lion Ape. He was really poor and had to be careful with his money.

The monkey and the insect chatted for a while longer before bidding farewell to each other on the riverbank.
-
Southwest of Hengshan, in a cave.

Ji Ming lowered his head and landed at the bottom of the cave. He first checked the homework of the three boys one by one, and then counted the various supplies in the cave.

The boys had plenty of food, but he didn't have much poisonous food left.

He touched his pair of poison hooks. Without the poisonous food, the toxicity in his body would be reduced by at least 30%.

"Ming Yue Qing Feng, go get the medicinal fragrance from the room!"

"Songhe, add some firewood and start the cauldron, prepare to attract the insects and make poison!"

Following Ji Ming's instructions, the three boys immediately got busy and made preparations in an orderly manner.

"Master, there is not much insect-attracting incense left. There are only three boxes left."

"It doesn't matter!"

Ji Ming waved his hand, signaling the boy not to worry, and said: "First pour a box of medicinal incense into the cauldron, and then heat it over a low fire."

Ji Ming sat in front of the tripod and directed the boys.

The medicinal incense in the Qingfeng Mingyue box was poured into the cauldron one by one, while Songhe Tongzi added firewood under the cauldron and then began to light the fire and fan it.

The base of the cauldron was roasted by fire, the medicinal aroma inside was heated, and billowing smoke came out from the cauldron.

"go with!"

Ji Ming took out three tablets and ordered three of the ghosts to patrol the outside world and report immediately if there was any unusual movement.

"rise!"

Ji Ming stirred up a gust of cold wind in the cave, blowing the smoke from the tripod out of the cave, dispersing into the surrounding mountains and forests, and blowing under the rotten leaves.

If an uninformed cultivator was in this cave, they would really think that Ji Ming was refining the elixir! Who would have thought that he was just cooking?

If you don’t manage the household, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. It’s not easy to maintain his weird household!
Sitting in front of the cauldron, Ji Ming had already seen some poisonous insects that had been attracted by the smoke. They crawled down from the outside of the cave and entered the cauldron one by one in an orderly manner.

"Can I implement that plan now?"

Ji Ming thought.

Although this matter is not easy to talk about, it is a matter of familiarity, so the psychological burden this time is not as heavy as the last time.
