Chapter 22 – The Nine Spectral Mastiffs!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ‘Nine Specters Mastiff’ cub!

[Reward has been issued to the system space, the host can check at any time]

A small beast pattern with a ghostly black body, like a wolf or a dog, emerged from the large spinning disk, accompanied by a system beep.

“Nine Specter Mastiff cubs?”

Lu Changsheng gave a start at his words, and his face showed joy.

Though it wasn’t the feat he wanted the most.

But for something like a favored beast, he also felt very good about it.

After all, anyone who has played the game in a previous life knows the importance of having a good ‘baby’.

It’s pretty much the same in this cultivation world.

If you have a good spiritual pet to accompany your own growth, whether in terms of combat power or other aspects, it can provide considerable help.

He hadn’t heard of the name ‘Nine Specter Mastiff’ though, and didn’t know what grade of demonic beast it was.

However, through the previous three draws, Lu Changsheng also had some faith in the system.

Knowing that the system produces something that may be useless, but is never junk.

Lu Changsheng’s mind moved slightly and looked at the Nine Spectral Mastiff in the system space, and immediately information surfaced.

[Spirit Pet: Nine Spectral Mastiff]

[Grade: Heavenly Medium]

[Description: Ancient Fae Beast, middle grade bloodline of the Heavenly Order, possessing a trace of the bloodline of the Nine Specters of the Ancient Spirit, it can grow to its peak in 500 years, and is a fourth-ranked demonic beast].

“Hiss! A middle grade bloodline of the Heavenly Rank, and it also possesses a trace of the bloodline of a Swift Ancient True Spirit.”

“As long as it grows to its peak stage, it can become a fourth-ranked demonic beast!”

When Lu Changsheng saw the information about this Nine Netherworld Mastiff, he immediately sucked in a breath of cold air and a burst of surprise.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, besides the Human Race, there were many other races.

Like feathers, hair, scales, insects, grass and trees, etc., able to cultivate and enhance the flying birds and beasts, insects and plants, all known as demons.

However, demons are mostly unenlightened and have little spiritual intelligence, and are also known as demonic beasts.

The division of strength of demonic beasts was very simple and straightforward.

From low to high use are: first order, second order, third order, fourth order, fifth order.

Corresponding to the human cultivator’s Qi Refining Stage, Foundation Establishment Stage, Node Dan Stage, Yuan Ying Stage, and God Transformation Stage.

The difference between demonic beasts and humans is that humans possess spiritual roots and become stronger through gongfu cultivation.

Whereas demonic beasts are inherited through the bloodline in their bodies, to cultivate and grow stronger.

The higher the bloodline grade, the greater the potential.

As far as Lu Changsheng knew, the bloodline grades of demonic beasts were categorized into: low rank bloodline, middle rank bloodline, high rank bloodline, earth rank bloodline, and heaven rank bloodline.

As well as the legendary True Spirit bloodline!

Like low rank bloodlines, they are also called miscellaneous rank bloodlines.

This kind of bloodline demonic beast, if there is no chance to make the bloodline purified and mutated, it is impossible to break through to a second-order demonic beast in this lifetime.

A middle-ranked bloodline grows up to be a first-ranked demonic beast, but there is hope to grow to a second-ranked demonic beast.

Demonic beasts of high rank bloodline, after growing to their peak, were mostly second rank demonic beasts with hopes of becoming third rank demonic beasts.

A demonic beast with an earth rank bloodline was a second rank demonic beast at maturity, and when it grew to its peak, it had a high probability of becoming a third rank demonic beast.

As for the Heaven Stage Demonic Beast, at maturity it was a Third Stage Demonic Beast, and growing to its peak stage it was expected to be Fourth Stage.

Like this Nine Specters Mastiff that Lu Changsheng had obtained, not only did it have a middle grade bloodline of the Heavenly Stage, but also a trace of the bloodline of the Ancient True Spirit.

So in five hundred years’ time, it would be able to successfully grow to its peak stage and become a fourth-ranked demonic beast.

That is, it is equivalent to the YuanYing stage cultivator in the human race!

“A fourth-ranked demonic beast is equal to a human YuanYing True Lord!”

“According to the information I saw in the Lu Family’s book building, in the cultivation world of the Jiang Country I’m in, the YuanYing stage is the ceiling existence.”

“Only the ‘Heavenly Sword Sect’, has a YuanYing True Monarch in attendance, even the QingYun Sect, where I participated in the examination before, doesn’t have a YuanYing True Monarch in attendance!”

“If the Nine Specter Mastiff can grow into a fourth-ranked demonic beast, I’ll be able to walk completely sideways in this Jiang Country’s Immortal Cultivation World.”

Lu Changsheng carried a few moments of excited excitement.

The strongest force in the cultivation world of the Jiang Country he was in was named ‘Heavenly Sword Sect’.

There are Yuan Ying True Lords sitting in the gate.

Below them were the Green Cloud Sect, the Sunset Cloud Sect, and the Royal Spirit Sect, the three great immortal sects.

Although these three great Immortal Sects did not have Yuan Ying True Lords sitting in their ranks, they all had several JieDan Real People, and their depth was very deep.

Below the three great Immortal Sects, there were two more clans, three more cities, three more lineages, and eight more powers.

These eight forces all had a JieDan real person sitting at the helm, and were the top forces in the Jiang Country’s Immortal Cultivation World.

As for cultivation families like the Lu Family of Green Bamboo Mountain, which only had the Foundation Establishment Stage sitting in their midst, there were more of them, and it was unlikely that they would be recorded in the book.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng saw that the book was nearly a hundred years old.

What is written in it has changed quite a bit by now, I’m afraid.

However, a moment later, Lu Changsheng shook his head again.

“Even if you cultivate to the peak of the Qi Refining Stage, you will only live a long life of a hundred years, and if you break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, you will extend your life by a hundred years and live to be over two hundred years old.”

“Only a JieDan real person can have a life span of five hundred years!”

“Therefore, if I can’t break through the YuanYing stage myself and become a YuanYing True Lord, even if the Nine Specter Mastiff grows to the fourth rank, it won’t mean much to me.”

The lifespan of a demonic beast is basically several times that of a human.

For the demonic beasts, the Nine Specter Mastiff being able to grow to the fourth rank in five hundred years was already considered very fast.

This time, however, is a bit long for the human race.

Because the lifespan of a JieDan real person is only five hundred years or so.

Even if you take life-extending elixirs, celestial treasures, but also up to a few more decades, a hundred years, ultimately limited.

Only when one breaks through to the YuanYing stage can one live over a thousand years.

“Five hundred years at its peak, then two or three hundred years to maturity is not much of a problem.”

“The maturity stage should be that of a third-order demonic beast at the JieDan stage, so there’s nothing wrong with growing to a second-order demonic beast in a hundred years or so.”

“That seems like it would be good.”

“Moreover, the Immortal Cultivation Realm has the method of taming and imperializing beasts, which contains many breeding methods that can make demonic beasts grow faster.”

Lu Changsheng licked his lips and thought in his heart.

The growth of a demonic beast can be divided into, four stages, the juvenile stage, the growth stage, the maturity stage, and the peak stage.

This Nine Specters Mastiff cub that he had obtained from the lottery was naturally in its juvenile stage.

But according to what he knew of the hundred arts of Immortal Cultivation, there was a skill called Beast Taming.

It is the taming of demonic beasts into spiritual beasts for the cultivator’s use.

The pets drawn by Lu Changsheng’s system naturally didn’t need to be tamed and were absolutely loyal to himself.

However, among these beast taming methods, there were quite a few breeding methods that could allow spirit beasts to grow quickly.

As far as Lu Changsheng knew, the Royal Spirit Sect among the three great immortal sects was famous for taming spirit beasts, and each disciple in the sect would tame and sail a spirit pet.

“This is not urgent for the time being, we can see if we can get the method of taming spirit beasts when we have the chance later, and now we will raise them normally.”

“But it’s not convenient for me right now, to take this Nine Specter Mastiff out of System Space.”

“Otherwise, if others see it and get a demonic beast cub out of thin air, there’s no way to explain it.”

“It just so happens that in a while, I’m going to make a trip to the secular world, so I’ll take it out when I come back, and outwardly say that I bought it to visit my family and give it to my child as a playmate.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t take this cub out of the system space after a slight thought, and continued to keep it inside.

Like system rewards, putting them in the system space without taking them out doesn’t affect them in the slightest.

But once you take it out, there’s no way to put it back in.
