Chapter 238: The Incarnation of Poisonous Scorpion, A Fantasy of Demonic Cultivation (2/2)

”That's right. Zhou Bao's great performance relied on his celestial device. It seems that the First Elder also has one!”

”Definitely. If not so, I wouldn't egg the Mansion Master on!” the man in grey said. He nodded and smiled insidiously. ”By the way, it's time for the two of us to get prepared!”

”To prepare for what?”

”The failure in killing Zhou Bao may just be a beginning. Haven't you noticed that the Cool Breeze Gang has been too conspicuous in recent years? To be a well-known killer organization couldn't be regarded as a success!” the man in the grey robe replied.

”Then you mean...”

”We'd better well prepare a way out of this matter!” The man in grey raised his hand and lightly touched his forehead. ”My upper eyelids have been flickering frequently recently. I feel that something bad may happen in the coming days. We both are sensible, Lingfeng. Do you get what I mean?”

”Of course I know. A tall tree catches the wind!” Lingfeng, the man in blue, responded. He shook his head with a wry smile. ”But it isn't easy to defeat the Cool Breeze Gang considering its strength nowadays.”

”Yeah, it isn't. However, if the same incident happens repeatedly, the strength of the Cool Breeze Gang would be weakened step by step. It's heard that in this action what Kui Hai lost is not just his palm and the Green-scaled Poisonous Tarantula but also the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion caught by him after innumerable hardships. What a heavy cost!”

...

...

”A killer organization, which has been existing for 300 years, is now known by a rookie in Jianghu. Don't you feel that their good days shall come to an end?” Either talking to himself or to the scorpion, Junior Leopard sat in the carriage and played with a green scorpion in his hands.

This green scorpion was found in the residence of the killer who was thrown out straightway by Junior Lepard. How poor he was that he even couldn't take his belongings away.

As a killer, his belongings were not much, and he didn't even bring a change of clothes. He had only a small parcel and a bamboo tube.

There was nothing valuable in that small parcel. The antidotes and the like were carried within his clothes including that bamboo tube which dropped out of him during a thrashing by Junior Leopard.

The bamboo tube contained this Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion, which was a little bigger than the Green-scaled Poisonous Tarantula. It was unbelievable that its body fits Junior Leopard's thought properly after he took its soul out.

Then to what degree did they fit?

It was after a period of practicing, Junior Leopard felt that he had been familiar with this body totally.

And for that reason, his interest surged afterward. These days, he tried to keep controlling its body by his thought through which he may find a more suitable controlling method. It wasn't sensible to leave his own body motionless whenever he controlled the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion. That was both inconvenient and pointless.

Anyway, from the practices over the past several days, Junior Leopard also gained some experience. He didn't need to treat the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion as his body from the start. His thought was separated from his divine thoughts, and what he only needed to do was to send his divine thoughts some orders, which the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion would naturally follow like a set program.

Soon afterward he found another thing—the instinct!

Yes, it was the instinct!

All living things had their instincts such as eating, drinking, excreting, sleeping, and even breathing even if it was a human vegetable whose brain was dead. So did the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion whose soul was taken out. It was because those instincts came from the body instead of the soul. Thus, after integrating Junior Leopard's soul into its body, it could move like other ordinary scorpions, and with only Junior Leopard's divine thoughts, the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion would completely do what Junior Leopard wanted.

Moreover, Junior Leopard found one more amazing thing that the scorpion could absorb the Sun and Moon Essence for practicing!

When Junior Leopard concentrated his consciousness on the scorpion, he found that its body could automatically absorb the essence of the world around and turn it into energy like the Internal Qi.

It was an unexpected and also surprising discovery.

And this discovery enlightened him. In a sense, the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion could now be regarded as one of his incarnations, a live one. Currently, he had two External Elixirs, both of which could practice by themselves, and if the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion could also do that, it would probably grow into an evil beast in the future. For Junior Leopard, an evil beast incarnation meant another strong bluff.

And if so, what he got would be more than one evil beast incarnation.

”The more thoughts I separate from my divine thoughts, the more incarnations I will have. And if all of those incarnations can practice by themselves like the External Elixirs...”

That idea made him tremble with excitement!

However, he became a little disappointed after he tried. He could indeed make the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion self-practice by absorbing the Sun and Moon Essence, which in fact was very easy for him as well. He only needed to deliver an order like a computer program to his divine thoughts about how to absorb the Sun and Moon Essence, how long it should take, and how to convert the pneuma it absorbed.

It was the same process as he refined External Elixirs, which could practice by themselves. However, a problem came soon afterward. On the third day, the Internal Qi had already filled the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion's body, which would blow up if it continued to practice. He then realized that the practice should be based on the balance the inner and outside cycle.

Human beings had spent countless years exploring their Body and Qi Strengthening Method before they attained such a fruitful achievement right now. As for the evil beasts, they could only practice by instinct. Even if some evil beasts could finally develop their spiritual intelligence and practice successfully, they needed more time in practice. Unlike human beings who had all the knowledge of acupoints, tendons, and meridians in the body, and who knew how to make the Internal Qi move within the body, evil beasts found all this knowledge, easy for human cultivators, very difficult.

”Shit, let alone nine incarnations, I can't even be sure when this one will be successfully practiced.” Having thought that, Junior Leopard smiled wryly. ”Should I go and find some Demonic Cultivation methods recorded in the legend?”

Demonic Cultivator was short for the evil beasts that had an appearance of human beings after their successful practice. However, this living creature hadn't appeared since the medieval period, and as for the Demonic Cultivation method, it was more like a legend because the Demonic Cultivation method was totally useless to human beings. For humans, if they practiced the Demonic Cultivation method, they would either die or turn into a monster. In the end, no one collected this useless while dangerous method.

”Well, it was said that the Demonic Cultivators could only practice by instinct. Even if there was a Demonic Cultivation method, it would be exclusively designed for the evil beast that wrote the method and beasts of its kind. Then where could I find a method for scorpions?” Thinking this, Junior Leopard was a little disappointed. ”But I also heard that the Demonic Cultivation was all by the instinct, and if an evil beast's spiritual intelligence was developed with no Kalpas, it wouldn't practice in a wrong way. So now my control of it was a little excessive and hurried!”

Realizing that, Junior Leopard then become relieved and decided to let nature take its course.

Under the circumstances, the relation between the Green-scaled Poisonous Scorpion and him went smoothly like a fish in water. After his thought was totally integrated into the Poisonous Scorpion's body, its intelligence raised fiercely as if its spiritual intelligence was developed. When facing some incidents, the Scorpion could follow Junior Leopard's thought even without his control.

”His Excellency, emergency from Yunzhou!” Outside the carriage, an anxious voice raised. It was Zhu Ba. ”There were eighteen killers slipping into Yunzhou. It seemed that they would do something bad to the Elderly Master!”

”That damned Cool Breeze Gang!” Junior Leopard cursed. But he was not that worried. The night he threw the killer out, he went to the branch of the Immortal Palace in Songjiang City. As Songjiang was a small city, there was only one person in charge—a street vendor.

One person was totally enough if he was competent. It didn't take Junior Leopard much time to find this vendor who then helped him to send a letter of entrustment. The Immortal Palace enjoyed its own efficient delivery system so that Junior Leopard got the response the very next day. His entrustment had been accepted, and experts sent to protect his family had taken action. Besides, there was a detailed address of the headquarter of the Cool Breeze Gang.

And the price Junior Leopard paid for that was the prescription of Tendon-Changing Pill.
