Manipulation Spell

Actually, Ling Fan and Robin could have quickly crossed this mountain, but they decided to camp on the mountain overnight in search of any rare treasures. However, to their disappointment, they didn't find anything.

Not giving up, Ling Fan stayed on the mountain top for another day but still came back empty-handed.

Finally, Ling Fan and Robin chose to descend the mountain.

There's a saying, "Fortune often comes when least expected." This saying turned out to be true for Ling Fan. Just when he had lost hope, he unexpectedly encountered a cave-it was a stroke of luck!

It was a newly formed cave just big enough for a person to enter. With a fearless and adventurous spirit, Ling Fan entered inside.

Indeed, fate did not let him down. Inside the cave, he discovered something remarkable that surpassed all his previous discovery. It was not just not some ordinary thing but a "spiritual milk" formed by the condensed spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The milky-white liquid gathered in a small stone hollow the size of a plate, emanating a soft white light.

At that moment, Ling Fan could even hear the pounding of his own heart due to excitement.

Ling Fan knew better than anyone the power of this spiritual milk. It was precisely what he needed the most at that moment. Can you imagine his excitement?

Do not underestimate this small drop of milky-white liquid. In the cultivation world, it is a rare treasure that takes thousands of years to condense. Its effect not only rejuvenates the someone's marrow but it can also instantly increases a person's spiritual power. This was precisely what Ling Fan urgently needed. Only with an ample supply of spiritual power could he conveniently accomplish more of what he desired.

With this "spiritual milk," not only could Ling Fan's cultivation speed increase exponentially, but it could also help Robin refine her meridians. In other words, with the help of this "spiritual milk," Robin could start the road of cultivation.

The excitement was overwhelming! Fortunately, Ling Fan had brought a spare bamboo tube with him. Otherwise, he would have been heartbroken if he couldn't take away such a valuable treasure, even more so than lying in a garbage dump .

The spiritual power contained in this "spiritual milk" was tremendous. With Ling Fan's current strength, he could only extract a single drop; anything more than that would pose a risk of his body exploding.

As for Robin, she could only use a drop of the "spiritual milk" diluted in water; otherwise, there would also be a danger of her body exploding.

After waiting outside the cave for half a day, Robin finally saw Ling Fan coming out, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Fan collected every last drop of the "spiritual milk" without using it immediately. If he were to use it now, he would have to enter a meditation session, and who knew how long that would take.

"Robin, we've truly struck it rich this time. Once we find a stable place to stay, I'll help you refine your meridians. Then, you won't have to wait too long to start practicing cultivation techniques," Ling Fan said with a smile on his face.

"Master, is this true? That's wonderful!" Robin appeared extremely happy. She had been eager to practice cultivation techniques for a long time because Ling Fan had mentioned to her that cultivators could fly with swords. It was such a marvelous thing!

In high spirits, the two of them entered the Magic Beast Forest.

The trees became denser, and the sounds of various magical beasts grew clearer.

So, this is the Magic Beast Forest? It's indeed a good place. Thanks to the experience with the "spiritual milk," Ling Fan wasn't particularly surprised even when he saw countless millennium spirit mushrooms on the ground.

This world is truly amazing, with rare and exotic plants everywhere!

However, one thing disappointed Ling Fan. He had thought that the magical beasts in this world would be powerful creatures, but they turned out to be mediocre. They could only cast fireballs and wind blades, weak to the point where they couldn't even compare to the weakest monsters Ling Fan knew.

With this discovery, his curiosity for magical beasts diminished, Ling Fan decided to continue heading north, crossing this Magic Beast Forest to reach a large city called "Gulu City." There, he hoped to find things like "magic rings" for sale.

According to the map, the Magic Beast Forest was vast, and it would take some time for Ling Fan to cross it at his current speed.

Ling Fan, Robin, and a horse loaded with supplies moved forward slowly. Suddenly, a large bird began circling above them, indicating that it wasn't a friendly visitor.

The massive bird was a third-level wind-type magical beast called the Swift Eagle. It was incredibly fast, with sharp claws, capable of using third-level wind magic.

Seeing the eagle continuously circling, searching for an opportunity to strike, Ling Fan glanced at it contemptuously but didn't pay it much attention.

With Ling Fan's current strength, a snap of his fingers could easily bring it down.

As Ling Fan and Robin continued forward, the Swift Eagle finally launched an attack. It first cast a third-level wind magic called "Wind Blade" and then swiftly dove down, aiming to deliver a fatal blow to its prey.

Regarding this, Ling Fan merely said to Robin, "Don't kill it!".

As soon as he spoke, the Swift Eagle fell from the sky as if it were a crashing plane. Robin managed to catch and restrain its massive body.

Ling Fan walked over and examined the Swift Eagle with the eyes of someone purchasing livestock.

It's weak, but it can still be used! Ling Fan thought as a black radiance gradually appeared in his hands. When the black radiance condensed into a sphere, Ling Fan pushed it forward, and the black energy ball disappeared directly into the Swift Eagle's body

Ling Fan used a spell called "Manipulation Spell", a witchcraft spell. By using this spell, he could control creatures weaker than him and turn them into obedient puppets.

The reason why Ling Fan chose to cast this spell on Swift Eagle is that he valued its ability to fly at high altitudes. Although the Swift Eagle wasn't strong enough to carry Ling Fan, it could serve as a means for him to observe the terrain from above.

This was the advantage of the "Manipulation Spell." The creature that is affected by this spell will become a puppet that could transmit what it saw and heard to the caster, making it an excellent choice for reconnaissance.

Ling Fan made a hand gesture to Robin, who promptly let go of the Swift Eagle. The bird soared into the sky as if nothing had happened, once again circling above.

At this moment, Ling Fan formed a strange hand seal and exclaimed, "Seal of Sight and Hearing—Bind!"

In an instant, Ling Fan's vision changed. He saw a vast forest standing before his eyes and various animals' activities captured in his sight. The terrain of the land unfolded clearly before him.

The effect was quite satisfactory, and Ling Fan released the hand seal. He turned to Robin and said, "Let's continue forward. There's a river up ahead."
