I've already become an immortal, and the global cultivation world is only just beginning?

Chapter 9 The Constant Source of Spirit Stones

"what?"

The shop owner, who had noticed Jiang Heng taking a while to choose, had just picked up a light blue cat bed, ready to recommend it to him.

But upon hearing Jiang Heng's words, the words she was about to say suddenly died in her throat. She stammered for a moment before regaining her composure and saying:

"Oh, oh, oh! This one! You have excellent taste."

The shop owner made a casual remark at first, then quickly put on a smile.

"Many kittens like these semi-enclosed cat houses."

I feel very safe living there.

And black is also more resistant to dirt.

She took out the "Nine Netherworld Profound Fiend Gathering Yin Array" and compared it to the kitten in the bag.

"This size is just right for your baby."

"We can get a bigger one when it grows up."

"Okay." Jiang Heng was quite practical. Like most men, when faced with a merchant's detailed explanation, he only used the same script: "How much?"

"69 pieces."

The shop owner seemed used to it. "Scan the code or not?"

You are prepared to purchase the "Nine Nether Profound Fiend Gathering Yin Array" from the Beast Taming Sect using 69 "Heavy Gold Incense Offerings".

This act is a meritorious deed for the present and a benefit for future generations. With this formation in place, the evil spirits have returned to their rightful place, their origins have been secured, and the 'Yin Wind Calamity' that has been ravaging the human world has been successfully suppressed. The merit is immeasurable.

Upon seeing this abstract prompt, Jiang Heng tried to keep a straight face as he took out his phone to pay.

With a crisp "ding," the QR code scan was successful.

"Would you like anything else?" Although the shop owner hadn't sold the more expensive Moon Nest, he was still enthusiastically promoting other items.

"Cat food, cat litter, food bowl, water bowl, toys?"

She looked at the kitten peeking out and said, "Your baby looks to be only about a month old. It needs to drink kitten food soaked in goat milk powder."

The sect leader of the "Adorable Beast Taming Sect" will impart the sect's secret technique, the "True Art of Beast Taming," to you.

After you learn this skill, you will know that although the 'Yin Sha Black Wind Cat' is ferocious, its young are fragile and need to be fed with 'Yunling Immortal Goat Milk' to dissolve the 'Crimson Sun Flesh Pill'.

[Daily feeding must be done at fixed times and in fixed quantities, and should not be interrupted, otherwise it may provoke a vicious backlash.]

"Okay... then bring me a little of everything."

Jiang Heng readily complied and followed the "Cute Beast Taming Sect Master" as they wandered among the shelves.

Soon, Jiang Heng brought out a small can of goat milk powder, a bag of kitten food, a small food bowl, and a shallow water bowl.

These are the "Four Seas Bottle" and the "Five Grains Bowl," which can be used to hold spiritual spring wine and offerings of blood and food.

Take another small bag of bentonite cat litter and a mini litter box.

This is the "Impure Earth Transformation Array," filled with "Mountain Sand," which can absorb the filth of demonic beasts and preserve the purity of the cave.

Then, following the shop owner, I bought a small ball of yarn with a bell on it.

The Soul-Capturing Bell is a companion magical artifact that can disturb the minds of demonic beasts, allowing them to play and sharpen their claws, thus diminishing their remaining ferocity.

Waiting to pay the bill.

Jiang Heng looked at the prompt on the panel and realized he had enjoyed watching it.

But then I saw that another 600 yuan had been deducted from my phone.

Jiang Heng still felt a pang of regret.

This is why Jiang Heng buys two of everything in order to save himself from having to make so many trips, which is why it's a bit expensive.

However, after seeing the small coal ball inside the Qiankun Beast-Trapping Bag...

After looking into its big, watery eyes.

Jiang Heng felt it was worth it.

Even without the reward of a spiritual root, it's still worth it.

Before long, the shopkeeper had stuffed two large bags full of things, which she could barely lift with both hands.

The two bags together weigh at least 60 or 70 pounds.

The two large bags of cat litter alone weighed nearly forty pounds.

"How did you get here?"

She moved with some difficulty, "If you're driving, I'll help you carry it into the car."

"No need, you can put it down."

Jiang Heng carried the small coal briquettes in one hand and gripped the openings of the two bags with the other, easily lifting both bags up.

At this moment, the physical improvement I've made today is proving to be extremely effective.

"?" The shopkeeper looked at Jiang Heng, who was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and then at Jiang Heng's not-so-strong arms. He didn't expect Jiang Heng to be so strong.

"I'm gone."

Jiang Heng prepared to take his leave.

"etc!"

The shop owner suddenly called out to Jiang Heng, "I forgot to tell you, your baby looks very young, he probably hasn't been vaccinated or dewormed yet."

She was very serious, partly because she wanted to make money, and partly because she genuinely cared about the kitten.

"Go back and rest for now, but be careful to keep warm and don't take a bath yet."

Next week...next Friday, bring it over for a check-up, and I'll see if it can get its first feline triple vaccine.

"We can do that at our store."

After she finished speaking, she pointed to the pet medical price list posted on the wall.

[The Sect Master of the "Adorable Beast Taming Sect" solemnly warns]

[This 'Yin Sha Black Wind Cat' is still in its early stages and its demonic power is unstable. It needs to rest quietly for nine days to strengthen its foundation and cultivate its vitality using the 'True Techniques of Beast Taming' and 'Beast Taming Items' that she has taught it.]

Once its origins are stable, it can be brought back to the Beast Taming Sect, where the sect elders will perform the "Golden Light Spell to Exorcise Evil" and the "Exorcising and Purifying Technique" to lay its innate foundation.

"..."

Jiang Heng saw the notification on the panel and knew that the shop owner wasn't lying to him.

Jiang Heng replied, "Okay, thank you, I understand. I'll bring it over next week."

As he spoke, Jiang Heng put down his things, took out his phone,

"Boss, is it convenient to add me on WeChat?"

In case something goes wrong... in case something happens to my cat, I can consult a professional in time.

This is my first time raising a pet, and I don't know much about it.

"Of course, no problem."

The female shop owner readily agreed and took out her phone.

"My name is Xu Xiaowei, Xiao as in kitten and Wei as in rose. I'll sweep you."

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime. I'll reply as soon as I see them.

[You have obtained the Jade Talisman Seal of Xu Xiaowei, the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect]

[This is a sect token. Holding it allows you to contact the sect leader at any time to seek answers to your questions about beast taming. Make good use of it for communication; it will greatly benefit your beast taming and dual cultivation.]

"What the hell is this dual cultivation...?"

Jiang Heng feigned composure and had the sect leader scan the code.

Looking at the newly added "Xiao Wei - Pet Paradise" in my contact list.

Putting everything else aside, at least this "sect relationship" has been established.

"Alright." Jiang Heng picked up the two large bags again. "I'm going now, Boss Xu."

"You're too kind, just call me Xiao Wei."

Xu Xiaowei had a beautiful smile, and she bent down to tease the kitten in Jiang Heng's bag.

"Little baby, come home with your dad. See you next week!"

She made a goodbye gesture to the kitten.

"dad?"

Jiang Heng was taken aback by the title, then looked down at the kitten in the bag.

"I don't know why, but suddenly I've developed a strange sense of responsibility..."

With mixed feelings, Jiang Heng carried his various magical treasures and left the Beast Taming Sect as Xu Xiaowei pushed open the door.

I had only walked a few steps out of the store.

As the night wind blew, Jiang Heng suddenly felt a damp, cold sensation seep into his body from all over his limbs.

This damp, cold aura was completely different from the cool sensation of the previous water-attribute spiritual root.

It seemed to carry an indescribable chill.

To make oneself feel as if one is in an ice cellar even in the sweltering summer heat.

[You have successfully installed the "Nine Nether Profound Yin Gathering Array" on the "Yin Sha Black Wind Cat" to help it stabilize its origin.]

[The demonic energy returns to its nest. As its master, you and your demonic pet are bound by fate, sharing its yin and evil essence in return.]

[Reward: Yin Attribute Spiritual Root +0.1]

"I've obtained the Yin Spirit Root..."

Jiang Heng's spirits lifted, and he realized that the eerie feeling he had just experienced, as if he had seen a ghost while walking at night, was due to the influence of Yin-type spiritual roots.

Although his spiritual root was very weak and he lacked the water vapor perception brought by the water-attribute spiritual root, a strange sense of clarity emerged when Jiang Heng subconsciously looked around at the darkness.

Looking around, the darkness before me was no longer darkness, but rather light and shadows almost like those of daytime.

Although there was no strong sunlight, Jiang Heng could see everything clearly.

The Yin Spirit Root directly granted him "night vision".

[You possess the Yin Spirit Root. Although your cultivation is shallow and you haven't yet incorporated Yin Spirit Qi into your dantian, you already perceive darkness as day.]

[You possess a water elemental root. Although your cultivation is shallow, you can temporarily stay afloat by circulating your spiritual energy in the water.]

Before Jiang Heng could examine it closely, the text on the panel reappeared.

Although the Yin Sha Black Wind Cat is currently in its juvenile form and possesses negligible demonic power, it is only barely ranked as a 'low-level Yin Sha demon spirit'.

However, he possesses exceptional talent and a well-established foundation. Every five days, when the Yin energy within his body is full, he will inhale a breath of 'Extreme Yin Profound Qi,' a pure and precious energy that is a treasure for Yin-attribute cultivators.

[Task: Carefully Feed Them]

[Requirement: Ensure the healthy growth of the 'Yin Sha Black Wind Cat']

[Reward: Receive 1 Low-Grade Yin Attribute Spirit Stone every five days]

The higher the realm of the demonic pet, the higher the quality of the 'Supreme Yin Profound Evil Qi' it produces, and the higher the grade of the spirit stones it converts into.

"This is... a long-term mission?"

Jiang Heng's face lit up with joy as he looked down at the kitten in the bag.

Then, Jiang Heng put down the cat food and other things, and ignoring its struggles and resistance, took it out and forcibly petted it.

"Little coal ball".

Jiang Heng touched its nose with his finger, his voice full of anticipation.

"You must stay healthy and have a good appetite."

Your father's path to immortality depends on your very breath...

"Meow..."

The little coal ball was still resisting, scratching its own head with its little paws, which then triggered the cat's underlying code, causing it to lick itself.

With a lick and a scratch, it managed to rub a tiny black ball of fur into its little paws.

"Ha ha……"

Seeing this adorable scene, and thinking about having a stable source of spirit stones in the future, Jiang Heng could no longer suppress his joy. He gently hugged the little coal ball in his arms and laughed happily by the roadside.
