371: Flying Purple Scorpion Awakens

The opening of the Mystic Heaven Tower was a major event.

As soon as Mu Feng opened the World Chat Channel, various discussions about the Mystic Heaven Tower came one after another.

Mu Feng quickly scrolled through the messages.

Most of them were useless information.

But one message caught Mu Feng's attention.

That was, the information that there was a heavenly spiritual treasure in the Mystic Heaven Tower had spread!

"No wonder so many Nascent Soul Old Monsters entered this Tournament; it turns out the news of the heavenly spiritual treasure leaked."

"As a result, the difficulty tomorrow will probably increase significantly."

"However, fortunately, my current combat power is already considerable; as long as I am careful, I don't need to worry too much."

....

As soon as this news broke, some people who had the strength but didn't want to go to the Mystic Heaven Tower would definitely go there to join the fun after hearing it.

This made Mu Feng secretly guess which party would do such a thankless job.

After all, this news breaking out seemed to be all harm and no benefit.

The more people there were, the lower their probability of obtaining the Spirit Treasure.

Unless the other party wanted to muddy the waters and had other plans.

After thinking for a while, Mu Feng still couldn't figure out what the person who revealed this secret was thinking.

He couldn't help but shake his head.

He stopped thinking about it.

Closing the World Chat Channel, Mu Feng began to check his Magical Artifacts and Medicinal Pills.

Now that his magic power had returned to its Peak, he didn't need to continue meditating and could just count his items.

He wanted to ensure there were no omissions before entering the Mystic Heaven Tower tomorrow.

His items were actually quite varied, as most of them were transferred from other people's Storage Rings.

Many things hadn't been sorted out yet.

Now, with a few hours remaining until the Mystic Heaven Tower opened, it was a good time to organize them.

"I didn't expect Dai Yi to have so many Medicinal Pills."

"Unfortunately, they are all healing Medicinal Pills."

Mu Feng opened some bottles and jars.

Inside were all the items he had obtained from Dai Yi's Storage Ring today.

Mu Feng hadn't looked closely at these things at the time, thinking that the Medicinal Pills carried by a Nascent Soul Cultivator should not be bad.

He was indeed not mistaken.

The items were not bad, but they were of little help to him.

Because these Medicinal Pills were all for healing, and there wasn't a single one for enhancing his Cultivation or Physique.

"Alas, if I had known, I should have opened these bottles and jars to check them at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted so much time restoring my magic power."

"Never mind, since I picked them up, I might as well keep them."

He shook his head.

Mu Feng sorted and put them away.

After thinking for a moment.

Mu Feng took out another bottle and traded it to Han Yuyan through the friend interface.

The other party was still cultivating, and Mu Feng didn't want to interrupt her meditation.

This method was just right.

When she woke up tomorrow, she would naturally see it.

After everything was done.

Mu Feng closed his eyes, preparing to conserve his energy and await the arrival of the next day.

But at this moment.

In his spirit beast bag, the cocoon, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly moved.

"Hmm?!"

Hearing the abnormal sound from the cocoon of the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion, Mu Feng excitedly opened his eyes.

The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion had been in a deep sleep ever since it ate the Ten Absolute Poisons he gave it last time.

Mu Feng originally thought it would automatically wake up when he entered the Trial Tournament.

But he had waited for so many days.

He hadn't seen any movement, which made him uncertain.

He originally thought it might just sleep through the Trial Tournament.

Unexpectedly, on the last day, before the Mystic Heaven Tower opened, it woke up again.

This brought a hint of surprise along with the unexpectedness for Mu Feng.

According to his experience, the longer a Spirit Beast slept, the greater its strength would be after waking up.

Therefore, as soon as he heard a sound from the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion in the spirit beast bag.

Mu Feng eagerly put his Divine Sense inside and carefully observed its movements.

Inside the spirit beast bag.

The cocoon spun by the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion itself already had large cracks.

From the gaps, the scene inside could be faintly seen.

Inside the cocoon, a black scorpion, about half a meter tall, was continuously Devouring the cocoon it had spun.

With each bite, its color became more intensely dark purple.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

The Little Lizard's Devour action was very fast.

In a short while, the originally thick cocoon was eaten down to a thin layer.

It looked as if it could break out of its cocoon at any moment.

This made Mu Feng even more excited.

He only needed to wait a little longer, and he would be able to see the complete form of the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion emerge!

"I wonder what Realm its strength will reach, Middle Stage or Late Stage?"

It was a certainty that the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion would enter the Core Formation.

Judging from its aura, it was definitely not Dan Formation Stage Initial Phase.

As for whether it was Middle Stage or Late Stage, Mu Feng could only check its information the moment it finished eating the cocoon and broke out.

Mu Feng was just thinking.

He heard a "crack" sound, and the cocoon wrapped around the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's body was cut open by a pair of purple pincers.

As the cocoon broke open.

The figure of the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion, which had been in a deep sleep for several days, finally appeared before Mu Feng.

"Hiss hiss hiss."

The awakened Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's size once again surged by several inches, already larger than the little fox by several inches.

Its color also changed from the previous shallow layer of dark purple on its body surface to a deep, dark hue.

However, this was not the biggest change.

The biggest change for the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion this time was that its original pair of wings on its back had become three pairs.

Flapping.

Its speed became even more agile.

Although the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions had changed from six to one, the Soul imprint Mu Feng left on them did not weaken.

Instead, perhaps because it had finished Devouring the other Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion larvae, or for some other reason.

The Soul imprint Mu Feng left on it became even deeper.

As a result, he only needed to have any thought in his mind, and he could convey it to the other party through the imprint without even speaking.

This was a good piece of news.

"Little Zi, come here!"

Through the Divine Soul contract, Mu Feng called the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion to his side.

"Whoosh whoosh."

Hearing Mu Feng's call, the Little Lizard, without hesitation, flew out of the spirit beast bag and jumped onto his body.

Its speed was very fast.

With Mu Feng's current Divine Sense and eyesight, he only saw a dark light, and then the Little Lizard was already in his arms.

"So fast!"

Mu Feng's eyes lit up.

"It is said that the complete form of the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's escape speed is like the wind, and it lives up to its reputation."

Mu Feng praised, then reached out to stroke the Little Lizard's body and those few pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings in his arms.

The Little Lizard had been adopted by Mu Feng since it was young and trusted him immensely.

Even when its vital points were held by Mu Feng, it showed no abnormal reactions, allowing Mu Feng to play with it in his hands.

"So thin! It feels like touching nothing at all; no wonder it can fly so fast!"

Mu Feng felt the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's wings, thin as cicada wings.

He kept praising it.

Although the Little Lizard didn't understand why Mu Feng was so fascinated by its wings, it still let him continue to play with them.

"Hmm, let's check its information first."

After playing for a while, Mu Feng released the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion from his arms, activated his Spiritual Eye Divine Power, and checked its information.

【Name: Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion】

【Realm: Nascent Soul Late Stage】

【Introduction: Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion, ranked seventeenth on the Strange Insect list, shaped like a scorpion, with two pairs of wings, rare egg production, tenacious vitality, body hardness superior to Iron Fire Ants, escape speed like wind, contains potent poison. The mature form is entirely dark purple, about a zhang in size, and has the innate ability to attack True Qi with a strange cry.】

【Skills: Super Poison Mist, Insect Cry, Devour, Iron Block.】

"Nascent Soul Late Stage!"

"That's great!!!"

"It also gained a new skill, and, oh, the original Poison Mist skill seems to have evolved!"

Mu Feng's eyes sparkled.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be greatly surprised to see that the complete form of the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion had directly reached the Nascent Soul Late Stage.

In his mind, he expected it to be around the Dan Formation.

Nascent Soul Late Stage, this had already caught up to his own Realm as the master.

Fortunately, he had also upgraded to Nascent Soul Late Stage after absorbing the Yaksha essence earlier, otherwise, being surpassed in Realm by the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion would have been somewhat embarrassing.

"Hmm, let's check the skill details first."

After briefly calming his excited mood, Mu Feng curiously clicked on the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's four skills to view their details and see if there were any changes after reaching its complete form.

【Super Poison Mist: After absorbing the Ten Absolute Poisons, the Poison Mist skill has been upgraded to Super Poison Mist skill, and the original Poison Mist skill effect has increased fivefold.】

【Insect Cry: The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's mouth can emit a strange cry, disrupting the target's True Qi and preventing it from condensing True Qi magic power.】

【Devour: The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion possesses sharp teeth and can launch Devour attacks on targets.】

【Iron Block: The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's Physical Body has become even harder, comparable to a defensive ancient treasure; ordinary attack methods are useless against it, but it is still afraid of Soul-type attack methods.】

....

"Tsk tsk, the Super Poison Mist skill actually increased the original Poison Mist's auxiliary effect by five times, amazing!"

As soon as Mu Feng saw the effect of the Super Poison Mist skill, he couldn't help but praise it.

Although the original Poison Mist skill grew continuously with the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's Realm.

However, poison, this kind of thing, was still useful before Qi Condensation.

But after Foundation Establishment and Core Formation, due to the protection of Magical Artifacts and Magic Treasures, it was difficult to apply it directly to the Physical Body.

So, when Mu Feng controlled the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpions in battle before, he rarely let them release the Poison Mist skill.

It wasn't that Mu Feng didn't want to release it, but rather because the effect of the Poison Mist was not very good.

But now it was different.

The original Poison Mist skill transformed into Super Poison Mist, and its skill effect suddenly increased fivefold!

Its power instantly became much greater.

And Mu Feng remembered that the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's Poison Mist could incorporate all the toxins it had previously consumed.

Those toxins now also had five times the power.

The current Super Poison Mist skill, even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator encountered it, would probably have to retreat three steps.

In addition to the Super Poison Mist skill.

The new skill "Iron Block" was also good.

What's more, this was a passive skill that strengthened the Physical Body.

It directly raised the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's Physical Body strength to the level of a defensive ancient treasure.

What was the concept of a defensive ancient treasure?

That was a hardness that even a Late Stage Nascent Soul Cultivator might not be able to break!

Of course.

The Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion was not invincible either.

Even in its complete form, its weakness still existed, which was its fear of Soul-type attacks.

However, Soul-type attack skills were not very common.

Mu Feng felt that he didn't need to worry too much.

As for the remaining two skills.

Mu Feng glanced at them; there were no changes.

It seemed that not all skills would upgrade after reaching the complete form.

However, those two skills were already good.

Even without upgrading, they were still the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's big killing moves.

Especially the Insect Cry skill, which could directly attack the opponent's True Qi, making it almost impossible to guard against.

With a moment of carelessness, even a Nascent Soul Old Monster would stumble upon encountering it.

Magic power and True Qi were the prerequisites for a Cultivator to cast Spells.

A Nascent Soul Cultivator, if unable to mobilize True Qi, would be no different from an ordinary Qi Condensation or Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

"Little Zi, you really gave me a big surprise!"

"It's a pity it's late; otherwise, I really want to personally test your current combat power!"

Closing the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion's information.

The more Mu Feng looked at the Little Lizard, the happier he became.

If his combat power before was roughly equivalent to 3.5 Early Stage Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Then now, with the addition of the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion, it had reached around 4.8.

Which was close to the Late Stage Nascent Soul level.

It was similar to the Ancient Demon's combat power he encountered earlier, or slightly inferior.

If he were to Face it again, even if he couldn't defeat it, he wouldn't have to bluff and deceive the other party as he did before.

"Mu Feng, thank you for your Medicinal Pills... Eh, is this your Spiritual Insect?"

"Co-Core, Co-Core, Nascent Soul Late Stage!!!"

As Mu Feng was observing the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion, Han Yuyan, who was cultivating, also woke up.

Upon waking, she saw the top-grade healing Medicinal Pills Mu Feng sent her, which made her even more grateful to Mu Feng.

Especially when she realized that the other party had specifically sent them through the Transaction Channel in the friend interface so as not to interrupt her cultivation, her heart was filled with joy.

After putting away the Medicinal Pills, Han Yuyan looked up, intending to thank Mu Feng, but suddenly saw the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion next to him.

This made her curious.

She had been with Mu Feng for a day or two, and there had been many battles, but she had never seen Mu Feng release the Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion.

She subconsciously assumed that this strangely shaped Little Lizard should not be very strong.

However, after a sweep of her Divine Sense, she discovered that this seemingly inconspicuous Little Lizard was actually a Spiritual Insect whose Realm was even higher than her own Dan Formation!

It had reached the same Realm as Mu Feng—Nascent Soul Late Stage!

This instantly stunned her.

She never expected that a random Spiritual Insect or Spirit Beast Mu Feng brought out would have a Realm not inferior to hers.

Moreover, when the Spiritual Insect saw her observing it with her Divine Sense, the bloodthirsty light released from its eyes clearly indicated that it was not to be trifled with.

So much so that her speaking tone became stammering.

"Good eyesight, this is indeed the Spiritual Insect I raised, named Flying Purple Patterned Scorpion."

"However, the Little Lizard was in a deep sleep before and just woke up."

Seeing her surprised look, Mu Feng smiled.

Han Yuyan listened, then suddenly realized: "So that's it, no wonder I haven't seen you release it before."

"But I didn't expect all your Spiritual Insects and Spirit Beasts to be so powerful."

"They're really too strong!"
