Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 168 The Talent "Thunder Spirit" (with a May Summary)
"let me see……"

Liu Sheng rubbed his hands together and opened the panel introduction—

【Silver Horned Thunder Bull (Blue)】

This demon dwells in highlands, mountains, and thunderous marshes, feeding on lightning and ghosts. It possesses the bloodline of the Kui Niu, its roar is like thunder, and it can spew lightning.

It is over twenty feet tall, with a tough skin and immense strength. Its horns are sharp and can unleash thunderbolts and lightning wheels, making it extremely effective at destroying ghosts.

……

"So it really is a descendant of the Kui Niu? But the Kui Niu is both water and land-based, born with both water and thunder attributes, and this Thunder Niu only inherited half of it?"

Liu Sheng frowned slightly, feeling a little disappointed, but not much.

After all, one lightning attribute is enough.

This is a thunderbolt known as the most lethal and destructive!

Moreover, there are several martial arts manuals on the Ox Formation in the storage bag that you can practice.

In addition, he also had his eye on Lei Zhong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

That guy fought against many opponents and calmly retreated, displaying terrifying lightning-attribute martial arts.

If we can kill it and seize the "Heavenly Strike with Thunder" and "Five Thunder Transformation Techniques", our strength may increase significantly.

"These are all things to be discussed later, we'll talk about them later..."

Liu Sheng snapped out of his daze and casually clicked on the four talents that had been enhanced—

[Bull Form (Talent)]: The form of a giant bull, with towering horns and hooves that cleave through abysses. Those who possess the "Bull Form" are tall and strong, with powerful muscles and bones, and boundless strength.

【Innate Strength】: Possessing the strength of an ox, capable of defeating a lion or tiger. Those who possess this talent are born with immense strength, capable of pulling down nine oxen, their ferocity unmatched.

【Thunder Spirit (Talent)】: Thunder Ox inherits the bloodline and is born with the Thunder Spirit, devouring thunder and lightning, slaying evil and destroying ghosts. Those who possess this talent have Thunderous Qi in their true Qi, which can be refined into Thunder Essence to temper bones and body, or stored in the internal organs.

【Raging Thunder (Talent)】: Thunder roars from the heavens, striking wildly like rain. Those who possess this talent can consume their internal thunder energy to unleash terrifying attacks.

……

"The 'Great Strength' and 'Divine Strength' talents overlap... and their effects are overwritten?"

Liu Sheng clenched his fist. No wonder he felt his strength had increased, but it didn't have the same immediate effect as before.

Elephant Power is the strongest among land-dwelling beings. However, the power gained from its subsequent refinement will not be significant for any land-dwelling creature.

A sudden realization dawned on him.

In fact, this applies not only to strength, but also to other aspects such as speed, defense, reaction, eyesight, and hearing in the future.

This is the inevitable result of having more and more incarnations.

"It would be great if the interface could include a mechanism for synthesizing similar talents in the future..."

Liu Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, a few thoughts raced through his mind, and he felt a little bit of anticipation.

Leaving aside the "Ox-shaped" talent, the "Thunder Spirit" and "Chaotic Thunder Blast" talents are complementary.

The "Thunder Spirit" talent means being born with a thunder spirit and being able to progress rapidly in cultivating thunder-based martial arts.

It can absorb lightning and refine it into lightning essence within its body, and it can also imbue its true energy and magical power with lightning aura.

It is the core talent of Silver Horned Thunder Bull.

Lei Yuan can be transformed into lightning through the "Chaotic Thunder Blast" talent and unleashed.

For example, the massive thunderstorm unleashed by the Silver Horned Thunder Bull, the bolt of lightning it spat out, and the terrifying sea of ​​lightning that burst forth before its death.

It was all due to the effect of the "Random Thunder" talent.

It just means you'll get struck by lightning more often.

Only after mastering a lightning-attribute martial art can the full potential of these talents be realized.

To this day, he possesses six incarnations: sparrow, snake, tiger, spider, elephant, and ox.

Apart from "Azure Scale Serpent", the other five incarnations are all of the demon level.

In addition, the tiger avatar has already entered reality. All that's left is to accumulate spiritual energy points and bring the other avatars to my side as well.

There's still one avatar slot left. I'll refine another powerful one after entering the Qingyuan Cave ruins.

At the very least, it should be even more powerful than Silver Horned Thunder Bull.

"Roar!"

Just then, a low growl sounded beside me.

When Liu Sheng came to his senses, he saw that the tiger incarnation had devoured the entire silver-horned thunder bull, leaving only its two silver horns.

(Anti-barrel: The other one was also retrieved.)
What can this thing do?

To forge weapons?
He picked up the two cow horns, banged them together, making a crisp "clink" sound and sparking a large amount of electric arc.

Moreover, it's heavy and feels quite heavy in the hand; it's not light.

Never mind, I'll put it away for now and deal with it later.

Liu Sheng opened the storage bag, put away the two ox horns, and looked up at Shan Biao, the tiger avatar staring at him. They stared at each other in disbelief.

Why does it seem like Shan Biao is a bit stronger than before after eating the beef? And his injuries have mostly healed as well.

I didn't use any spiritual energy to recover!
Could it be that, besides deduction, one can also ascend to a higher level by eating?

We can try it out in the future; perhaps we really will discover the hidden key.

Liu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

He glanced at the gradually calming dust around him, and a thought struck him. He turned and looked in one direction.

One, two, three... More than ten miles away, on a hilltop, Xie Bao and his group, who had abandoned them earlier, were looking this way.

However, due to the dust and smoke generated after the mountain collapse, visibility was poor.

Although they were Qi cultivators, they were not like Liu Sheng, who possessed multiple forms and eagle eyes.

Since they haven't gone far, then...

Forget it, we still need to keep them around to fight with the people from the Prince of Jin's mansion.

Then we'll switch from open to covert and follow them quietly.

Liu Sheng's eyes twitched slightly, and he immediately sent Shan Biao back to the control panel.

Then, it joined forces with the ghost Qin Shuang, retrieved it into its pupil, transformed into the Six Desires Puppet Spider, and chased after it.

The Six Desires Puppet Spider is adept at concealment, moving swiftly like the wind, leaving no trace, making it a true assassin in the dark.

It is best suited for tracking and surveillance.

Soon, he caught up with Xie Bao and his group, following them for about three or four miles.

Along the way, he also summarized the battle.

The "Yu Chang" talent, although originating from the "Seventy-Two Transformations Dao Fruit" and of extremely high quality, is by no means perfect.

For example, beings associated with thunder are extremely sensitive to ghostly energy.

Even though the "Yu Chang" talent produces the best disguise among all the Chang, it still cannot completely block the senses of lightning-attribute beings.

Therefore, when Lei Zhong, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was trying to contact the ghost Qinghe, he discovered something amiss and took action in anger.

This was also the conclusion Liu Sheng deduced by combining some information he learned from both sides with his recent experience.

Including the previous cougar Qinghe, he suffered considerable losses at the hands of lightning-attribute creatures.

Fortunately, Changgui Caiyu and Qin Shuang will recover after a few days of gentle care.

Now that he has the talent "Thunder Spirit" to enhance him, the threat of thunder magic to him has been greatly reduced.

Good harvest.

……

"Large areas of blood and vehicle wreckage remained at the scene, but both the people and the demon were gone."

Two figures descended like clouds, one in red and one in purple, and upon landing, they revealed themselves to be two middle-aged Taoist priests, one male and one female.

Elders of the Seven Clouds Sect: Chixiazi and Zixiazi.

They returned to investigate earlier, but came back with a lot of doubts.

"Gone?"

Xie Bao, who was waiting in place, was stunned for a moment and remained silent.

This answer surprised everyone.

The reason they asked the two Qi Refiners from the Seven Clouds Sect to go back and check was actually because they had the intention of finding something that might be missing.

In case both sides suffer heavy losses, we can take advantage of the situation and share the profits.

Resources at the Qi Refiner (Demon) level are quite rare.

I just didn't expect it to end like this.

"If it's gone, it's gone. Hurry up and get going, don't let it interfere with our business."

Master Jingyue, with her fiery temper, disdained such behavior. Upon seeing this, she immediately chanted a Buddhist prayer and urged him repeatedly.

The other Qi cultivators could only nod in agreement.

Soon, the team resumed their journey, but no one noticed Liu Sheng silently following behind.

Two days later.

The group trekked through mountains and rivers, battling monsters, and finally came upon a vast lake, its waters shrouded in mist and stretching to the horizon.

We've arrived at Yuding Lake.

Monthly Summary:
I. Update.

 1号上架，31天共更新了21W字。其中收费19W，2W算赠送，用掉存稿5W。

The main reason was that my elderly father was hospitalized in the latter part of the month. I was busy taking care of him and had to go to the hospital every day. My energy was limited, so I could only rely on my existing manuscripts to keep going.

In Guangzhou, hospital stays cannot exceed 14 days at a time. These past two days have been busy contacting rehabilitation hospitals for admission and making various follow-up arrangements. I estimate that in early June I can only manage a minimum of 2 updates per day, 4K words each, and I will try to resume normal updates around mid-June.

II. The following plot.

The main purpose is to resolve the foreshadowing from the beginning, the Qingyuan Cave ruins, the first major subplot in this book.

The world-building will be upgraded, the protagonist's innate cultivation technique will appear, and there will be the evolution of the Azure Scaled Serpent (becoming a dragon after five hundred years), the seventh incarnation, and so on.

III. Acknowledgements.

Thank you to all fellow Daoists for your subscriptions, monthly tickets, recommendations, and comments.

Due to space limitations, I cannot list all your names. I will open the book club list every day and recite the Golden Light Mantra for you all, praying for blessings and warding off evil.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival! May you all be well.

Please continue to support this book.

I bow and express my gratitude!
