Mythical Cultivation

Chapter 535 Level 2 Monster

Although this was his residence and there was no obvious danger around, Wu Ming was still somewhat uneasy.

After all, the Shadow Mouse's advancement is a crucial moment for it. Any unexpected event during this process could lead to its failure to advance or even endanger its life.

As time passed, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) began to slowly converge into the room.

This is clearly a critical moment for the Shadow Mouse to advance, and it is absorbing the surrounding energy with all its might to complete its transformation.

Wu Ming stared intently at the room, feeling the energy fluctuations within growing stronger.

He knew that the Shadow Mouse was going through a difficult test, and all he could do was to silently protect it from the outside, just in case.

Just then, two figures appeared abruptly beside Wu Ming, like ghosts.

These two people were Chu Nan and Pan Ning, who were guests at Wu Ming's residence.

As Foundation Establishment cultivators, the two of them had exceptionally keen perception of their surroundings and naturally noticed the unusual fluctuations in the spiritual energy within the mansion.

Pan Ning looked closely and saw that Wu Ming was quietly waiting there. He immediately understood that the fluctuation of energy was probably related to Wu Ming.

So, without hesitation, he asked, "Junior Brother Wu, what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming smiled slightly and explained, "Senior brothers, please don't panic. This is because my spirit beast is about to advance to the second-tier demon beast, which has caused such a violent fluctuation of energy."

Pan Ning suddenly realized, "So that's how it is!"

His doubts vanished instantly, and he also found his earlier nervousness somewhat amusing.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering why there was such a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy in Junior Brother's residence. It turns out it was due to Junior Brother's spirit beast advancing in rank. Haha, we were just giving each other a false alarm."

Pan Ning said with a smile.

Now that he knew the whole story, Pan Ning tactfully said, "In that case, let's not disturb our junior brother any longer, so as not to affect the spirit beast's advancement."

After all, this is Wu Ming's spirit beast advancing in rank. If the spirit beast fails to advance because of the two of them, that would be terrible.

Therefore, Pan Ning decisively offered to leave in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for Wu Ming.

"Please don't be offended, senior brothers. I won't keep you company any longer; I really can't leave right now!"

Wu Ming bowed apologetically and said.

Pan Ning and another senior brother exchanged a glance. Seeing Wu Ming's sincere attitude, they didn't say anything, turned around and left, returning to their residence.

Wu Ming watched the two figures gradually disappear into the distance and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Then he quickly focused his attention back on his surroundings, vigilantly observing the movements around him, fearing that some fool might come and disturb the Shadow Mouse's advancement at this critical juncture.

Time passed by, and night gradually fell.

A crescent moon hung high in the sky, like a silver hook, radiating a cool, clear light.

Scattered stars dotted the night sky, shining like jewels, adding a touch of mystery to the darkness.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth that had been gathered together was now being slowly drawn together by an invisible hand, the speed of which was getting slower and slower until it finally converged entirely into the room where the Shadow Mouse was.

"It seems we've reached the most crucial moment!"

Wu Ming thought to himself, "As long as I can get through this hurdle smoothly, Shadow Mouse Xiao Hui will be able to advance successfully."

He stared intently at the room, as if he could see the Shadow Mouse struggling to break through the walls inside.

Time seemed to slow down dramatically at that moment, as if every second was stretched out.

Finally, as the last trace of the primordial energy of heaven and earth subsided, the whole world fell silent.

Suddenly, a soft squeaking sound came from inside the room, as if it were the sound of some small animal.

Immediately afterwards, a dark figure appeared beside Wu Ming like lightning.

The dark figure was none other than Shadow Mouse Xiao Hui, but it had changed significantly compared to before.

The Shadow Mouse's body has become much larger, at least twice its previous size, and is now the size of a calf.

Its fur became thicker, and its black fur shimmered faintly in the dim light.

"Squeak!"

The shadow mouse let out a cheerful chirp that clearly conveyed joy.

The shout echoed around Wu Ming, as if it were announcing something important to him.

"Wu Ming, I've advanced to the second-tier demon beast! You don't have to worry about my safety anymore."

The Shadow Mouse's voice echoed in Wu Ming's mind, filled with excitement and pride.

Upon hearing the Shadow Mouse's voice, Wu Ming smiled with delight.

He gently patted the Shadow Mouse's big head and said with a smile, "I knew you were amazing! You truly are worthy of being my partner, Wu Ming!"

The shadow mouse seemed very pleased with Wu Ming's praise. It chuckled twice and then said, "Hehe, I can finally go out with you!"

From the Shadow Mouse's tone, Wu Ming could clearly hear its eagerness to follow him.

Wu Ming understood perfectly well how stifling it would be for a demon beast to stay in this mansion all the time.

He looked at Shadow Mouse tenderly and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll take you with me wherever I go from now on."

Time flies, and the next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

In the backyard of Wu Ming's mansion, Wu Ming was chatting with Pan Ning and Chu Nan.

A figure walked into the backyard; it was a servant from the manor.

When Wu Ming saw the servant approaching nervously, he waved his hand, signaling the servant to come forward.

The servant walked up to Wu Ming, head bowed, body trembling slightly, clearly fearing him.

Wu Ming looked at the servant and asked calmly, "Speak, what is it?"

Although his voice was not loud, it conveyed a kind of authority that no one could ignore.

The servant hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Master, a Taoist priest has come to the door. He says he is an old acquaintance of yours and asked me to come and inform him."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ming frowned slightly, pondering to himself, "An old acquaintance?"

However, he didn't think much of it and simply released his spiritual sense to glance at the doorway.

In an instant, Wu Ming's spiritual sense locked onto the so-called "immortal master".

A thought flashed through his mind, and a look of surprise appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"I know, you go down first!"

Wu Ming waved his hand, signaling the servants to leave.

The servant, feeling as if he had been granted a pardon, quickly bowed and left in haste.

Wu Ming turned his head, looked at Pan Ning and Chu Nan who were somewhat puzzled, and explained with a smile, "Senior brothers, the opportunity I've been waiting for has arrived. Please excuse me for a moment, and I will explain in detail to you when I return."

Pan Ning nodded and said casually, "Junior brother, no need to be so polite. You go ahead and get busy! We'll wait for you here."
