Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 98 Three Years of Diligent Training (Please Subscribe)

Lava blazes, billowing black smoke.

A girl in a blue dress sat cross-legged on a boulder, her jet-black hair cascading down to her waist and hips. A thin ribbon wrapped around her slender waist, and her fair, jade-like skin faintly glowed with a reddish light.

But she exuded an aura of indifference and aloofness, and her eyes were devoid of any emotion.

Wu Tian and she looked at each other, and Wu Tian's brow furrowed slightly.

He vaguely sensed that something was off about Chi Limu's attitude, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

Although Manxiongmu had previously mentioned that Chilimu was probably practicing the Taiqing Temple's secret method of casting cauldrons, which was why he was indifferent to the seven emotions and could stay in the wondrous realm.

But after seeing the Red Tree with his own eyes, he felt that the little girl was more like a withdrawn and isolated person with autism...

As the crimson light on his body slowly dissipated, Wu Tian leaped down from mid-air and landed precisely on the boulder in the center of the lava.

The boulder was so hot that he was caught off guard and grimaced, unable to help but bark.

"Wow~"

Just as he was jumping up and down from the burn, a small hand gently stroked the fur on his back.

A wisp of warm, nourishing energy entered his body, instantly circulating through his limbs and bones, greatly reducing the burning sensation.

Wu Tian turned to look into the girl's eyes and found that there was still no emotion in them, but she was indeed concerned about him.

"you……"

Chi Limu spoke, but his voice was somewhat hoarse. After a long while, he said stiffly and intermittently, "Purifying your internal energy... will make it less uncomfortable."

Wu Tian was stunned when he heard her speak. He almost couldn't help but curse at Zhu Yeshuang. That woman might be a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, but did she even know how to take care of a child?

Chilimu was only five or six years old when he left the village. He had just lost his parents and relatives, and even his only grandfather had passed away.

Even Bai Long'er, who grew up beside him, had to be separated.

Despite possessing exceptionally outstanding immortal talent, she was just an ordinary little girl.

Wu Tian hadn't thought much about it before, only that Chi Limu following Zhu Yeshuang would be a tremendous opportunity, and that Chi Limu's strength would improve by leaps and bounds every time they met briefly.

But he never imagined that Zhu Yeshuang would raise children in this way.

This primordial spirit cultivator simply threw the Crimson Wood into the underground fire cave, leaving her to cultivate there alone.

This might be of great benefit to spiritual practice, but a child has no communication with the outside world, no friends, and his only teacher is in seclusion most of the time.

The thought of cultivating day after day in this cramped and dark underground fire pit is depressing.

Over time, it's no wonder people develop psychological problems!
What secret cultivation method allows one to reside in a wondrous realm?

If this continues, sooner or later a mute girl will be produced.

"Woof woof woof~" Wu Tian felt an indescribable anger. Although he had only spent a short time with Chi Limu, the girl was exceptionally gentle and attentive.

They went through the most difficult time together.

One had just lost his parents and relatives, and the other was a lonely soul adrift in this world. During that time, the two depended on each other for survival.

Seeing the girl in this situation now, what's the difference between this and being in jail?
He lay down beside Chi Limu, his tail gently swaying and brushing against the little girl, then whispered, "Little Chi Li, are you alright?"

For the first time, surprise appeared in Chi Limu's eyes. She stared blankly at the dog in front of her for a long time, but her expression was stiff, as if she didn't know how to express her emotions.

After a moment, she carefully touched Wu Tian's head. "Bai Long'er, is that you speaking?"

Wu Tian nuzzled her body with his head. "It's me. I've achieved some success in my cultivation and can speak human language now."

Chi Limu's eyes lit up as he looked at Wu Tian, ​​stroking the soft fur on his body. "That's really nice..."

Only then did her voice begin to become lighter and clearer, as if she had gradually regained her familiar feeling after not speaking for a long time.

But after saying that, she didn't know what else to say.

Wu Tian cursed Zhu Yeshuang in his heart. Unlike him, Chi Limu was a second-generation human. A five or six-year-old girl had been isolated from the world for several years in this underground fire cave.

This is practically imprisonment...

He suppressed his resentment and anger and took the initiative to ask, "Little Chi Li, Senior Zhu has also accepted me as a disciple. From now on, I am your junior brother."

"Junior brother?" Chi Limu's eyes seemed to light up instantly, and he murmured, "Bai Long'er, will you stay here forever?"

Wu Tian nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will stay here to cultivate as well."

Although Chi Limu did not show any excitement or joy, the ease and happiness she exuded from within was something that no secret technique could conceal or suppress.

"Then I'll call you Senior Sister from now on, okay?" Wu Tian said, deliberately brushing the girl's arm with his tail.

The little girl was very ticklish, and he used to always make her giggle.

"Alright, Junior Brother Bai Long'er." Chi Limu's bright eyes narrowed slightly, finally showing some childlike expression.

"Senior sister, tell me, what have you been doing on a daily basis since you became my disciple?" Wu Tian asked.

Chi Limu thought for a moment and said, "My master taught me to read, passed on her martial arts techniques, and even combed my hair..."

When she spoke the last sentence, her tone softened considerably.

"Ever since I broke through to the Forging Cauldron stage, my master has left me to cultivate alone in the underground fire cave, saying that I can only come out when my cultivation is complete."

"She sent me out once during the middle of the trip. I took a sword with me down the mountain, and I even saw you there!"

Wu Tian nodded vigorously, "Yes, my senior sister looked at me with a strange gaze. I thought she didn't recognize me anymore."

Chi Limu gently wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her delicate face against his cheek. "No, I will always remember Bai Long'er."

Wu Tian could feel the girl's innocence and warmth, and he also felt an indescribable sense of relaxation, a feeling he had never experienced with anyone else.

"Senior sister, when I have time in the future, I'll tell you about what's been going on outside, okay?"

"Let's cultivate together now. It's too hot here, and I need to circulate my energy as well."

"Okay, let's work hard together." Chi Limu nodded seriously. "If you don't understand anything, you can ask your senior sister!"

"Haha, I definitely will." After chatting with the girl for a few minutes, Wu Tian felt much more relaxed.

This meeting with Zhu Yeshuang was indeed beyond his expectations, with too many unexpected things happening. The Ancient Demon God Path, which he thought would remain undiscovered, was discovered immediately; there were also the differences between the Primordial Spirit Path, the Demon God Path, and the Path of the Demon Bloodline, as well as the path he would have to take in the future.

In addition, with the "Three Hundred and Sixty Celestial Aperture Diagrams" taught to him by Zhu Yeshuang, he felt he needed to calm down and carefully analyze it.

Wu Tian did not rush to start cultivating immediately. Instead, he went through the entire experience of his meeting with Zhu Yeshuang in his mind, recalling all the details that he had not noticed before.

"Now that I think about it, as long as I break through in cultivation, Zhu Yeshuang will definitely conduct a very thorough examination of me. She would never allow anyone else to plant any methods on me or cause any problems."

"From the very beginning, she intended for me to become the protector of the Crimson Wood, so she had to ensure that my background and experience were absolutely innocent."

"I underestimated the abilities of Nascent Soul cultivators and thought entering human sects would be too easy..."

"In the future, we should be more careful and cautious when dealing with such old relics."

After carefully reviewing his experience, he let out a long sigh. "Let's take a look at the 360-Zhou Star Aperture Diagram first, and then quickly master this secret technique before starting the next stage of cultivation."

"This feeling of being weaker than others is really unbearable..."

He was as unrestrained and domineering as he was in Xiankong Mountain, but he felt as suppressed and uncomfortable in front of Zhu Yeshuang.

Despite his obedient demeanor in front of that woman, he violated Zhu Yeshuang's taboo by cultivating the ancient demon god path, putting his life in someone else's hands.

It's not shameful to tuck your tail between your legs and act like a dog; after all, you're not human to begin with...

After a period of random thoughts, the slight frustration in my heart dissipated, and I then focused my attention on the "Three Hundred and Sixty Celestial Aperture Chart".

With a thought, a scroll slowly unfolded in his mind, outlining the entire scroll with 360 stars, each star composed of a varying number of incantations.

Furthermore, these stars are interconnected, ultimately forming a rather obscure and complex picture.

Fortunately, this scroll also contains detailed cultivation methods, explaining everything from the acupoints, stars, and incantations that need to be condensed in the first step, to the steps in each subsequent step, and the connections between the incantations.

Wu Tian felt that this was somewhat similar to the method he used in the Three Heads and Six Arms Demon God Transformation, both of which required condensing incantations with true qi.

However, compared to the Three-Headed, Six-Armed Demon Transformation, the 360-Circle Celestial Aperture Diagram provides more comprehensive explanations and commentary on cultivation, detailing almost every small step and potential problems.

This might be the advantage of a major sect...

After pondering for a long time, Wu Tian consulted Chi Limu again, but the little girl was in human form and did not need to go through this step of cultivation.

Her innate Fire Dao Body is the best physique for cultivation, so there is no need to reforge it. The more important thing in the Casting Cauldron stage is to refine the soul.

He then asked Zhu Yeshuang for guidance. Cultivation matters cannot be taken lightly, especially matters like altering one's body and reforging one's cauldron, which allow no room for error.

This is inside an underground fire pit, but as long as he speaks, Zhu Yeshuang will know immediately and give him instructions via telepathy.

Zhu Yeshuang was indeed a master of the primordial spirit realm. Every time she gave guidance, she could hit the nail on the head, which was incomparable to those detailed annotations.

In this way, Wu Tian spent several more days to finally master this secret technique and make it appear on the system panel.

The Three Hundred and Sixty Celestial Acupoints Diagram: A superior secret method for casting cauldrons by the human race. It is a wonderful method used by ancient great beings to comprehend the changes of the celestial bodies and their correspondence with the acupoints of the human body, and to cast cauldrons by borrowing the power of the stars.

After completing one's spiritual practice, one can forge a superior spiritual body according to one's own characteristics.

Once the skill appeared on the system panel, Wu Tian's cultivation began to get on track.

Although he was in an underground fire cave, the place still contained a rich essence of the sun and moon, even richer than what he could absorb through his own breathing.

Its fiery eyes absorb the essence of the sun and moon, while its wind and thunder escape technique absorbs the essence of wind and thunder, transforming it into the purest demonic energy. This demonic energy contains the power of the sun, moon, wind, and thunder, especially the true fire refined by the rotation of the sun and moon, which is raging with wind, fire, and thunder, both masculine and violent.

The demonic energy that Wu Tian cultivated in the realm of demons was far more powerful than that of ordinary demons. When he exhaled the demonic energy, wind, fire, and thunder surged, which was truly terrifying.

To cultivate the "Three Hundred and Sixty Celestial Apertures Diagram" with this demonic energy, one must be even more careful and cautious, and cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.

With the system panel assisting him, Wu Tian's progress was very smooth, and he was able to open up a new acupoint every two or three days.

In his spare time, he continued to study the Soul-Splitting Arrow. After several months, he had mastered the art of transformation and condensed the first layer of magic runes.

The thirty-six incantations intertwined, transforming into an arrow-shaped talisman that merged with the demonic energy within the body. As the demonic energy flowed through the body, it nourished and tempered the body while also being tempered by the demonic energy itself.

Right under Zhu Yeshuang's nose, he didn't use it to test the mysterious ancient arrow he had unexpectedly acquired. He had a feeling that the ancient arrow was very important to him.

When he was tired from resting, he would talk to Chi Limu.

The little girl's days of practice here were exceptionally monotonous and boring, but having a dog to keep her company and talk to made her happy.

Although these emotions cannot be outwardly expressed, they are still involuntarily revealed through words and actions.

Chi Limu's talent is terrifying. Wu Tian once witnessed her making the magma in the underground fire cave churn with a single thought, which almost scared him out of his wits.

As for swordsmanship, although she hasn't had much practical experience, this girl is making rapid progress in the cultivation of sword techniques and secret arts.

Wu Tian also exchanged a few blows with Chi Limu to verify each other's cultivation. The girl's swordsmanship, which was vast, powerful and yang, and filled with the true meaning of subduing demons with raging flames, amazed him.

If the two were to fight...

Well, he was confident that Chi Limu wouldn't survive more than three breaths.

She's still too inexperienced; she hasn't experienced real combat.

He had already rolled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood several times, even killing a great demon and reducing cultivators to ashes.

Not to mention facing a young girl with so little combat experience.

Even if she held the ancient sword Qingli, it wouldn't work. The speed at which her Fiery Eyes of Truth activated was too fast; it could be activated in an instant, and wherever her gaze fell, golden light would arrive in a flash.

At least for now, the Crimson Wood cannot withstand the discerning eyes.

Within the billowing black smoke and unbearably hot underground fire pit, even the passage of time seemed to slow down.

Wu Tian was immersed in opening up his acupoints and practicing the Soul-Splitting Arrow technique. He was accompanied by Chi Limu, who would sometimes chat and laugh with him and sometimes discuss the law. He did not feel lonely.

If there is anything you don't understand, ask Zhu Yeshuang for guidance.

He had too many questions about his spiritual practice and had read too few scriptures, so he asked Zhu Yeshuang for help.

Zhu Yeshuang was usually very easy to talk to; she would always grant requests, whether for advice or books.

Wu Tian felt very secure and comforted in the underground fire cave, and his strength was steadily improving...

Before we knew it, three years had passed.
