Chapter 34: Chapter 34 ‘The Spirit Gathering Soul Cultivating Formula
Translator: 549690339
At daybreak, morning glow scattered from the horizon, dispelling the darkness that shrouded the mountains. Green Python Mountain seemed to have been unveiled, allowing Feng Qing’an to behold its vibrant, realistic face brimming with life.
“What a spectacular sight!”
Black Mountain stood on a highly protruded rock, looking out at the endless vast mountains. Feng Qing’an was also able to see the mountain’s true form from here, which made him exclaim in admiration.
In the distance, fog-like white clouds entwined around the mountains. Birds swarmed, eagles soared high, tigers roared, and monkeys howled as beasts scattered in fright. Nearby, a trickle of mountain spring meandered down, gathered at the foothills, and fed into the lake amongst the mountains. As the cool breeze blew, it stirred up the iridescent glow of the golden scales on the water. Between the lush aquatic plants, gray snakes and rabbits could be seen, along with various waterfowl crossing.
The myriad scenes of the mountains were captured in one glance. All creatures under the frosty sky vied for freedom. The grandeur and splendor left Feng Qing’an, who was sitting in a rural house, feeling emotionally broadened.
“Black Mountain, come back!”
The grandeur of the wilderness had enraptured Feng Qing’an, making him momentarily spellbound. Black Mountain was also mesmerized by the sight, but was eventually awakened by the realism-invoking Feng Qing’an.
What connection did he and Black Mountain have with the boundless mountains beneath the vast sky?
The mountains may be teeming with life, but how many monsters were hiding within them? Black Mountain was just a common little monster after all, merely competent enough to compete not to lose its life easily. Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Black Mountain roared once and then turned to trot away. As much as it was entranced by the grandeur of the mountains, its heartstill preferred the noisy, chaotic courtyard, where it was occasionally scolded by humans. That was its doghouse, and it didn’t hold much emotional attachment to these vast mountains.
However, the casual and carefree departure of Black Mountain dumbfounded the pack of mountain wolves that had just submitted to him last night. Just recognized this leader, and now the leader has left them behind — what on earth is going on?
A group of well-fed adult wolves hurriedly chased after him, but how could they catch up with the sprinting Black Mountain?
In the early morning, the thin mist in the mountains lingered among the leaves as the morning sun shed its light through dense foliage. But none of these beautiful scenes caused Black Mountain, who was running at full speed, to slow down, and it seemed to run faster and faster. Because in Black Mountain’s mind, none of these surpassed Feng Qing’an’s call.
Behind Black Mountain, a few mountian wolves are increasingly falling behind. Eventually, when they saw Black Mountain actually run past the boundary of the woods and dash into the fields cultivated by humans, they all stopped in their tracks and gave up on the chase.
“Black Mountain!”
As the scene in his vision became increasingly familiar, only then did Feng Qing’an terminate the use of the “Sending God Skill”, recalling his conscious from the body of Black Mountain. It was at this moment, the notification sound rang.

[ Reward: “Condensing Spirit Nourishing Soul Scripture”, would you like to accept it? ]
Looking at the morning light shining through the window into the room and the dust floating in the light, Feng Qing’an snapped back to reality, remembering that this practice of the “Sending God Skill” was solely aimed at acquiring a higher-level cultivation method, but it made him lose track of time.
“Accept it!”
With a single thought from Feng Qing’an, an even more complex cultivation method was immediately imprinted deep into his consciousness. But before he got to take a closer look, the distressed voice of Yin Shi, who had gotten up early, rang in his ears,
“Er Niu, come over quickly and see what’s wrong with this dog you’ve raised? It ran out in the middle of the night to fight with other dogs!”
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing’an quickly got out of bed, came out of the room and into the courtyard. He saw Yin Shi circling around Black Mountain who was sitting obediently on the ground, wagging its tail incessantly. The hardened blood scabs in its dark gray fur were strikingly noticeable.
“Quick, come and see, your dog must have gone out to fight last night. Later,
I’ll go out and inauire if any dogs from other families got killed.”
Yin Shi said with considerable apprehension.
Although she felt a little sorry for the dog that their family raised, he was already the largest in the village. If this dog was injured so badly, wouldn’t the one that fought with it have been killed?
However, by late morning, Yin Shi went out for a round of inquiries, yet no one in the village had reported a dead or injured dog.
So, she returned home with a little confusion, staring at Black Mountain who was lying in the shade avoiding the sun. Seeing its outrageously hulking body, she eventually gave up on the pursuit to find the cause.
It could be that it had tangled with a wild beast wandering outside the village. But seeing Black Mountain’s look, it didn’t seem to have lost much, so she gave up on probing further.
Once Yin Shi was no longer focused on Black Mountain, Feng Qing’an immediately brought him into the room. Seeing the shallow bloodstains on its body, he felt somewhat distressed, yet reproached,
“You say you’ve lost a monster’s face. You’re already a bewitched dog, yet you still let a few wild beasts hurt you!”
Upon hearing Feng Qing’an’s words, Black Mountain lowered its head in a seemingly wronged manner. But soon it raised its head, making a comfortable whimpering sound.
Although Feng Qing’an scolded, his hands were swift. He channeled a large amount of spiritual Qi into Black Mountain’s body. Under the nourishment of
Qi, Black Mountain’s wounds immediately felt ticklish.

[ Description: Excellent Guardian Beast Masters are adept at mining the power hidden within the body of their beast pets. ]
[ Requirement: Make your beast pet stronger in battle! ]
[ Reward: “Condensing Spirit Bone Tempering Skill” ]
Listening to the sound that echoed in his mind, Feng Qing’an didn’t even pause for a moment, continuing to integrate spiritual Qi into Black Mountain. He didn’t need to make any changes, he only had to keep doing what he was doing now.
“You have to continue going into the mountains tonight and come back before sunrise!”
“Woof-”
Black Mountain howled in response, indicating that it understood.
“Do not fear the fight, however, before your wounds heal, don’t go looking for trouble. First, subdue those wolves and get them used to you being active at night and lying low during the day.”
Feng Qing’an babbled on, giving his instructions. Black Mountain nodded its head, listening patiently.
Once everything was arranged, Feng Qing’an took his bag of books and went to the village schoolhouse. His arms and legs were small, no one could match his strengths in twisting. He dared not skip school. If it weren’t for his parents or Mr. Zhang, the village elders in the village would come to beat him up with their canes.
There was no other option, it was because his older brother was so excellent, being a younger brother, he could be slightly worse but not too much worse. It was mandatory to read books.
However, when the class ended, Feng Qing’an sprinted home as fast as he could. A brand new cultivation method was already in hand and he had suppressed his yearning for a whole day, which was already very difficult.
And in the quiet of night, Feng Qing’an sat upright on the bed and entered the cultivation state, as Black Mountain casually jumped over the fence and slipped
out of the courtyard..
