First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 22: Destiny - Knowledge of Demonic Beasts

"Add some points first!"

He opened the basic destiny and directly upgraded the destiny of the path of fortune.

[You have consumed 1 destiny point to attempt to promote the path of fortune, but failed.]

[You have consumed 1 destiny point to attempt to promote the path of fortune, but failed.]

[You have consumed 1 destiny point to attempt to promote the path of fortune, but failed.]

[You have consumed 1 destiny point to attempt to promote the path of fortune, but failed.]

Four consecutive failures.

"The probability of promotion is quite low." Shen Mo looked at the information prompts and felt a little disappointed. "For the last destiny point, let's draw a special destiny to avoid wasting these five destiny points and not getting anything."

With that in mind, he threw the last destiny point into the destiny pool.

"Splash!"

The destiny points dissipated, and the destiny pool lit up.

The light slowly dissipated.

A special destiny stone surrounded by a faint blue glow appeared before him.

[Knowledge of Demonic Beasts (Blue): You have gained the ability to obtain information about the weaknesses of Demonic Beasts, at the cost of equivalent Spirit Stones. You can deduce the weaknesses of selected Demonic Beasts.]

"A blue destiny!"

Seeing the color of this destiny, Shen Mo's face lit up.

Although among the seven levels of destiny - gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, and gold - the blue level can only be considered average.

But for Shen Mo at this moment, being able to draw a blue-level destiny is undoubtedly extremely lucky.

After all, this is the first blue-level destiny he possesses!

"What abilities does this destiny have?"

After getting a little excited, he began to pay attention to the function of this destiny. "Knowledge of Demonic Beasts, consume Spirit Stones to obtain information about Demonic Beasts and deduce their weaknesses?"

"A strategy specifically for dealing with Demonic Beasts?"

This function seems to be quite useful!

Wearing the "Knowledge of Demonic Beasts," Shen Mo began to explore its abilities.

Just as he equipped the "Knowledge of Demonic Beasts" destiny into the destiny slot, a book without words suddenly appeared before Shen Mo's eyes.

On it, only two types of Demonic Beasts were recorded.

Silver Ringed Snake.

Double-Headed Silver Ringed Python.

"Demonic Beasts that can deduce weaknesses should require me to have encountered them before."

Shen Mo secretly speculated and tried to turn to the next page.

At the same time, a message came out.

[You are attempting to peek at the information of a peak first-order Demonic Beast, the Double-Headed Silver Ringed Python, which requires the consumption of two low-grade Spirit Stones.]

"Two Spirit Stones."

Without hesitation, he took out two Spirit Stones from his Qiankun Bag, which were already scarce, and held them in his arms.

"Crackle!"

A devouring force suddenly swept across the illusory book in front of him.

And the two Spirit Stones that Shen Mo took out were instantly drained of all their Spirit Power.

They turned into dust and scattered on the ground.

[Demonic Beast: Double-Headed Silver Ringed Python.]

[Realm: Peak first-order.]

[Brief description: This Demonic Beast was born by the Sheshan River in Yong'an Town. Ninety years ago, it mistakenly ate the Qianyuan Fruit, gaining intelligence and no longer remaining a wild beast. It has become a Demonic Beast.

After enduring the wind and rain for ninety years, enduring the changing seasons, it sheds its skin every ten years. It took a long time to achieve this opportunity. Three months ago, it grew a second head.]

However, due to insufficient accumulation, the second poem did not come into being smoothly, and it did not fully enter the ranks of Demonic Beasts in the second stage.】

【Weakness: This Demonic Beast is cold in nature and fears fire.

If a cultivator cultivates a fire-based Cultivation Technique or Immortal Technique, dealing with this Demonic Beast will be twice as effective. In addition, fire-based talismans can also be effective.

Its second head is not fully developed, which is its most vulnerable spot. If it can be cut off, it can be easily killed.】

"This is the information and weakness of the Double-Headed Silver Ring Python deduced by the Demonic Beast Expert!"

"Very detailed."

Shen Mo carefully reviewed the information in front of him and was secretly surprised: "So, the head that didn't fully grow out is actually its most vulnerable spot."

He recalled the moment he saw the Double-Headed Python, he was frightened by its aura and only focused on escaping, so he didn't pay attention to these details.

"If at that time, I didn't run away but attacked the head of this Double-Headed Python with a sword, would there have been a chance?"

"Most likely not." He thought for a moment and shook his head, "Even though I knew its weakness, the gap between me and this Demonic Beast is still too big, considering that I haven't broken through to the Eighth Stage yet."

"However."

"This Demonic Beast fears fire, and learning a fire-based Cultivation Technique or Immortal Technique is not feasible in a short time, but I can obtain some fire-based talismans."

"If I am well-prepared, perhaps there is a chance to kill it!"

After seeing the weakness of the Double-Headed Silver Ring Python, Shen Mo was somewhat tempted.

He still remembered the glimpse he had in the Spirit Field.

"The Spiritual Qi of the purple fruit, even though it is far away, I can still feel its abundance!"

"Its value is definitely not low, and its selling price in the market will certainly not be less than seventy Spirit Stones."

The more Shen Mo thought about it, the more tempted he became.

Encountering such a high-quality fruit, it would be a pity to give up just because of fear of the strong Demonic Beast.

"I'll take a look after I return to the Sect. If I can obtain fire-based talismans within a month, I will come back and try to kill this Double-Headed Python."

According to the Zhao family, the purple fruit in the Spirit Field still has more than two months until it fully ripens.

The Double-Headed Python is guarding it and hasn't eaten the fruit immediately.

Obviously, it is also waiting for the fruit to fully ripen.

He can go back to the Sect to prepare, as long as he returns to Yong'an Town before the fruit ripens!

The next day, early morning.

After practicing all night, Shen Mo pushed open the door.

The Zhao family was filled with a heavy atmosphere.

Everyone in the family was in a state of deep sorrow.

They originally thought that with the arrival of the senior immortal master, they would be able to solve the disaster in the Spirit Field.

However, there were Demonic Beasts in the Spirit Field that were close to the second stage, and even the immortal master couldn't deal with them.

Although the Zhao family had some wealth, most of their assets were invested in the fruit trees in the Spirit Field.

Now that the Spirit Field was occupied, no one dared to go in.

Those fruits would obviously be eaten by the snake demons, and the Zhao family's harvest this year would be in vain.

The reward given to Shen Mo earlier was the last bit of money the Zhao family could use.

Now, they couldn't afford to spend a large sum of money to hire a high-rank cultivator to eliminate the demons.

"Alas, we can only hope that these beasts will eat the fruits and leave soon."

Zhao Chang sighed, "The loss of the harvest is irreparable. I'm afraid that if these beasts stay for a long time, we won't be able to enter the Spirit Field. After a few months of disturbance, without replenishing the Spirit Water, the Spirit Field will be completely abandoned and the production will decrease."

If they wanted to maintain the high productivity of the Spirit Field in the long term, they needed to replenish the Spirit Water every month to increase the spiritual nature of the soil.

If they couldn't receive long-term maintenance, even the top-quality Spirit Field would eventually become ordinary land.

The Zhao family relied on the thirty acres of Spirit Field left by the ancestor who had joined the Linjiang Sect to achieve their prosperity.

The ancestor had disappeared for five years, most likely dead, and the family had already lost their backing.

If the snake demons stayed for a long time and let this remaining Spirit Field become barren, the foundation for the Zhao family's survival would be completely destroyed.

And the fact that the family hadn't produced a person with cultivation talent for decades was also foreseeable for the decline of the family.
