Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 9 The Spirit of Wind

Two more days passed in the blink of an eye. Gu Xiongmu no longer led his people to the forest where the conflict had occurred. Instead, he carefully explored more hunting grounds.

As expected, Wu Tian's Listening to the Wind skill reached perfection during the hunt.

Ding! System notification: Your skill "Listening to the Wind" has been upgraded to perfection and can be awakened as a talent. Please choose one of the following two talents.

Option 1, Child of the Wind: You are the darling of the wind. Your affinity with the wind spirits has increased, and you are able to initially borrow the power of the wind.

Option two, the Spirit of the Wind. The wind is your eyes and ears; you can obtain more information from the wind and thus foresee good and bad fortune.

This time there were only two options, but these two options brought Wu Tian a huge surprise.

The option "Child of the Wind" instantly reminded him of spirits and monsters. If he obtained this talent and continued to level up, he would definitely be able to become a demon and a spirit that controls the power of the wind.

However, the second Wind Spirit is equally terrifying. If it continues to upgrade, it is very likely to become the talent of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune. All the great demons and auspicious beasts in myths and legends have such talents, which is why they can grow from weak to strong.

One is about mastering the power of the wind, and the other is about seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

To be honest, Wu Tian wanted both options and couldn't bear to give up either one.

Unfortunately, he could only choose one option.

In the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up his beloved Wind Spirit.

If the Wind Spirit's talent continues to upgrade, it is very likely to gain the ability to avoid misfortune and attract good fortune. It is no wonder that the creatures in myths and legends possess such talents. Even cultivators call them auspicious beasts and are unwilling to harm them.

Conversely, those spirits and monsters that can control clouds and fire can be killed without hesitation when they encounter an immortal who can slay demons and eliminate evil.

After weighing the options, Wu Tian chose the Wind Spirit.

After making his choice, he immediately felt the difference. A cool sensation surged from his body and gathered at his brow, as if a stream of water was being poured into his forehead.

Wu Tian felt as if some magical changes had occurred within him. When he looked up at the world, it was as if a veil had been lifted, and everything became more real.

When the wind blows between heaven and earth, it can sense the information carried by the wind.

Yes, perception!
It's not about listening with your ears, but a kind of mysterious perception.

He seemed to be able to sense where the wind blew, where there were poisonous insects, giant snakes, foxes, and squirrels; he could even follow the wind and see further into the distance.

"Is this the Spirit of Wind?"

Wu Tian was overjoyed. At this moment, the wind seemed to become his eyes and ears. He could see farther and hear farther through the wind, and he could also discover crises arising from farther away.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Wu Tian suddenly shouted loudly, first howling at Yin Shuang, and then roaring at Gu Xiongmu.

The hunting party had been searching all morning without any success, and coupled with several days of meager catches, they were already quite frustrated.

While they were resting, Wu Tian suddenly shouted, but the key was that Silver Frost and the other white dogs did not move at all, which made the hunting team members irritable and started yelling.

"Bai Long'er, what are you yelling for?"

"If you keep yelling like that, I'll skin you alive."

"Get down right now!"

But Silver Frost quickly understood his call and barked at him twice. Wu Tian responded with a roar.

Soon, Gu Xiongmu also came over and asked Yinshuang, "Yinshuang, what's going on? What did Bailong'er discover?" He and Yinshuang had known each other for many years and had a tacit understanding. When Yinshuang called out to him, Gu Xiongmu's eyes lit up and he said, "Everyone, follow Bailong'er!"

Seeing that Gu Xiongmu understood, Wu Tian didn't delay any longer. With a flash, he disappeared into the depths of the jungle like a white shadow.

He is no longer the same as before. His hunting and listening skills are now perfected, making his physique no less than that of an adult white dog, and his hunting skills are only comparable to Silverfrost.

With his innate agility and the Spirit of Wind, his speed has surpassed that of all adult white dogs. When he unleashes his full power, even Silver Frost has a hard time catching up with him.

Wu Tian ran wildly through the woods, the wind howling, his fur lying softly against his back in the wind—a feeling he had never experienced before.

The entire forest seemed to have become his home; he could even run with his eyes closed. The dead branches blocking his path, the hidden poisonous snakes—nothing could escape the wind, and therefore nothing could escape his notice.

Wu Tian ran more and more freely. The deep mountains and forests that were once extremely dangerous to him have now become his hunting grounds where he can roam freely and hunt. He even spotted a herd of Dulong cattle from a great distance.

The herd of cattle was quite large, numbering over twenty.

The Dulong cattle are a herd of cattle that live along the Dulong River. They are large in size, with strong bones, and short, even black hair all over their bodies, like silk. The lower parts of their limbs are white, like walking on snow.

Especially their horns, which are thick and sturdy, gradually turning into a cone shape upwards, with sharp, rounded tips, making them very savage and rugged.

More than twenty Dulong cattle gathered together, and even tigers and bears dared not approach them. When they went berserk, they were terrifying.

Wu Tian spotted the herd of cattle from afar by the wind. If he could capture this herd of Dulong cattle, the village could get through the entire winter in peace.

More importantly, these Dulong cattle often walk along the river, which indicates that there are streams nearby, perhaps tributaries of the distant Dulong River that have turned into streams and spread into the depths of this jungle.

Where there are streams, there are often more creatures, and you might even be able to catch fish and shrimp, which is good news for the whole village.

Wu Tian was deliberately controlling his running speed so that Silver Frost and the other white dogs wouldn't lose track of him.

"Where exactly is Bai Long'er going?"

"You've already run so far, and at such a high speed, aren't you afraid of alerting other wild beasts?"

"Speaking of which, when did Bai Long'er become so fast?"

The tribesmen were both puzzled and surprised, but they soon discovered that the path Wu Tian led them on was very safe. Apart from a few poisonous insects and harmless wild animals, they did not encounter any ferocious birds or beasts.

Gu Xiongmu's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Although the clan chief had long said that Bai Long'er was a potential Dog King, how long had it been? Bai Long'er had already developed such abilities, which was in no way inferior to Yin Shuang.

At first, some people worried that Wu Tian was leading them into the lair of some ferocious beast and that they might encounter some danger.

But as time went on, everyone became more and more surprised.

The route led by Wu Tian was not a straight line, but a winding one, avoiding the dangers in the jungle, and the whole journey was very safe.

After running for more than half an hour, Wu Tian finally stopped. It stopped the other white dogs from getting any closer and hid deep in the woods, spying on the area not far away.

Gu Xiongmu and his group arrived quickly. When they spotted the herd of cattle in the distance, they were initially overjoyed, but soon all eyes turned to Wu Tian.

Everyone knows what this means...

Being able to spot prey from such a distance and carve out a safe route through the jungle—this isn't just the makings of a dog king; it's practically a divine dog.

Such a divine dog had appeared in the village before, and the villagers had heard stories about it from the elders, but they always thought it was just a legend.

But unexpectedly, the legend has now become a reality!
Some people even prostrated themselves and kowtowed to Wu Tian.
