Under Bao`er's arrangements, the group quickly cleaned up the residence.
To Xiao Chen, the residence was already very clean. However, after this cleaning, it actually looked brighter.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it looked brand new. The flowers and grass were trimmed, the walls and doors were repainted, and incense lamps were lit in the room.
Wherever one went, one could smell a fresh fragrance, making one feel refreshed.
Xiao Chen sighed. Having servants and not having servants were indeed two different living environments.
"Big Brother Xiao, I have cleaned up the entire residence for you. This herb field has not been developed yet. If you have natural treasures or other Spirit Herbs, you can replant them here or go to a shop to buy the seeds you need. There are Apothecary disciples among the servants who specialize in this. There will also be professionals taking care of those Spirit Beasts. I guarantee that they will not suffer any losses. "
Bao`er bowed slightly and asked, "Is Big Brother Xiao satisfied?"
When Xiao Chen heard that, he entered deep thought. He could put the herb field aside for now. After all, he was not an Alchemist. He did not cultivate Cultivation Techniques that required natural treasures. However, he could think about the Spirit Beasts first.
Xiao Chen had not had the time to take care of the Demon Blood Vulture, basically letting it roam.
With professionals taking care of it, it should be better.
"Who is in charge of rearing the Spirit Beasts?"
Xiao Chen asked, and an old man immediately appeared. He knelt before Xiao Chen and said, "Little Master, this old servant is in charge of the Spirit Beasts. Just call me Elder Liu. Master, what instructions do you have?"
"Whoosh!"
A flash of red light appeared, and the Demon Blood Vulture appeared on Xiao Chen's shoulder. Its wings were scarlet, glistening, and exceptionally beautiful.
"Do you recognize this bird?"
Elder Liu's eyes lit up as he answered, "This is a Demon Blood Vulture. Rumor has it that it lives in the Ash Gray Sea, one of the seven great forbidden seas. Its race is isolated from the rest of the world and hard to capture. It feeds on demonic nature and can consume any demonic nature in the world, growing infinitely. If one can activate its bloodline and feed it Spirit Blood Fruits, it might even be able to recover its ancestral blood and become a Great Desolate Eon ferocious beast, the Blood Phoenix.
"Master, this Demon Blood Vulture is incredible. Its eyes are golden. It must have an extremely noble bloodline in the Demon Blood Vulture Race. What's even rarer is that his bloodline seems to have mutated. There's a very good chance that he'll become a Blood Phoenix. "
"Hehe, of course. My father is the Blood Vulture King. How can my bloodline not be noble? This old man has good eyesight. I can let him serve me."
The Demon Blood Vulture's cocky voice rang out in Xiao Chen's mind.
Ignoring it, Xiao Chen sized up the old man and was surprised. He really knew a lot. There were many things that he had never heard of before. However, he still had to continue experimenting.
"Then, do you know how to nurture the Demon Blood Vulture?"
Senior Liu smiled and said, "This old servant grew up in the Beast Taming Abode. I spent all my time raising nine thousand kinds of spirit beasts and demonic pets in the world. Although I have never raised a Demon Blood Vulture before, I still know the method."
At the side, Bao`er said softly, "Big Brother Xiao, this Uncle Liu is a treasure. Xiao Chen once nurtured an Underworld Ghost Bird into a 9-Vein Sovereign Emperor mutated beast. He was one of the top beast tamers in the Heavenly Alliance. If it wasn't for Lord Mu's order, he wouldn't have come with me. "
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and said softly, "My eyesight is poor. I could not tell that Senior Liu was so capable. Sorry for the disrespect. No one in the Heavenly Alliance can be underestimated. What about you? "
Xiao Chen turned his head to look at Bao`er and asked her, changing the topic.
Bao`er's expression did not change. She smiled mischievously and said, "How can I be capable? I'm just a maid, a maid who helps Big Brother Xiao dress and make his bed, serve tea, and pour water."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and did not pursue the matter. He continued, "Senior Liu, tell me how to raise this Demon Blood Vulture."
Senior Liu nodded and said, "That will depend on how much resources Master gives me. If there are enough resources, I will definitely feed it Demonic Spirit Fruits every day and bring it to the Blood Prison once every half a month. Then, I will go to the Spirit Beast Palace to exchange for Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques for demonic pets. This will also depend on how Master raises it. You can raise it in all aspects or focus on one attribute, like speed, killing intent, or devouring. The Demon Blood Vulture is a rather well-rounded demonic pet. You can raise it however you want. It will depend on Master's preferences … "
Xiao Chen thought for a while. This Senior Liu is really knowledgeable. He asked in his heart, Demon Blood Vulture, are you willing to follow me?
Hehe! I'm already drooling …
The answer went without saying. Xiao Chen said, "From today on, you will be in charge of raising the Demon Blood Vulture. Don't be stingy with resources. May I ask, what is the currency used for transactions in the Heavenly Alliance? "
Bao`er replied softly, "Any currency in the Heavenly Alliance will do. After all, we are doing business. Spirit Jades, Primeval Heavenly Pills, Origin Liquid, and Divine Crystals will do. However, we usually use Origin Liquid."
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Then, he took out the Primeval Heavenly Pills in his storage ring and the ten ten-thousand-year-old Herb Kings he obtained in Paradise and handed them to Bao`er. "Help me exchange them for Origin Liquid. From today on, you will be in charge of all the expenses in the residence."
The amount that Xiao Chen took out was a huge sum, especially the ten ten-thousand-year-old Herb Kings.
Originally, Xiao Chen intended to use these Herb Kings for himself. However, there was no point in using them after refining the Thunder Cliff Tree.
When Bao`er received all this, she did not feel shocked at all. Xiao Chen sighed in his heart. Even the servants of the Heavenly Alliance are servants who have seen the world.
"Big Brother Xiao, thank you for your trust. I will help Young Master settle this matter within half a day."
After Bao`er counted the items, she agreed without hesitation.
"In that case, you all can withdraw first. I need to rest for a while."
"Alright."
After the group took their leave, Xiao Chen went to a medicinal spring in the residence alone. The spring water surged, and Spiritual Energy spread everywhere.
This was a medicinal spring that the Heavenly Alliance's Alchemists specially refined for Sovereign Emperors. After soaking in it, one could eliminate fatigue, nourish one's mind, and remove hidden injuries. If one spent some Origin Liquid, one could add in Medicinal Pills to aid one's cultivation.
The warm spring water made Xiao Chen feel exceptionally comfortable as he soaked in it. After he closed his eyes, he actually felt drowsy.
After advancing to Sovereign Emperor, cultivators basically did not need to sleep. In fact, they found it very difficult to sleep.
If one wanted to rest, one only needed to enter a meditative state. However, falling asleep would be somewhat difficult. Many people even found it impossible to fall asleep. Their Spiritual Sense would remain somewhat awake.
However, in reality, sleep was the best nourishment for Sovereign Emperors. It was even beneficial to cultivation.
There should be Spirit Herbs for calming the mind in the medicinal spring. Otherwise, it would not be so effective.
Xiao Chen did not reject this drowsiness, so he fell asleep.
When he woke up, Xiao Chen felt refreshed and full of energy. He looked around and discovered that Bao`er was already standing across from him, holding a white towel in her hand.
Mist wafted out. When looking at Bao`er, who was not far away, he felt like he was looking at flowers in the mist, a hazy yet intense sense of beauty.
"Splash!
Splash! "Bao`er stood up and splashed the spring water. Then, she walked over and wiped down Xiao Chen's body, then helped him put on his clothes.
Xiao Chen did not want to stand out in the Heavenly Alliance. Furthermore, he had nothing else on his mind, so he did not avoid these things and did not refuse.
Bao`er found this somewhat strange. Unexpectedly, there were many scars on Xiao Chen's body. They were not as clean as his delicate facial features.
Some of the scars even layered over each other. The crisscrossing scars all over his body looked somewhat sinister and scary.
When Bao`er finished helping Xiao Chen put on his clothes, she still felt somewhat unsettled.
"How long was I asleep?"
"Big Brother Xiao happened to have slept for a night. I have already completed the task that you instructed me to do yesterday. I exchanged for a total of fifty tons of Origin Liquid. I gave Old Liu half, and the rest is with me. Does Young Master need it? "
"Not for now. Keep it for me first."
Xiao Chen still had twenty-five tons of Origin Liquid on him. That was sufficient for regular cultivation. However, he had not opened his first Divine Vein yet, so he did not need so much Origin Liquid.
"Alright."
After hesitating for a while, Bao`er said, "Young Master had best not cultivate for now. You can continue resting. When the Heavenly Alliance's missions come, you might not have time to rest."
"I'll listen to you."
Hence, aside from occasionally cultivating, Xiao Chen spent the rest of his time wandering around the residence. The residence was very large. There were several places that Xiao Chen had not explored. Now was an opportunity.
Only two days passed peacefully. Then, Xiao Chen's first mission in the Heavenly Alliance arrived.
A black-clad administrator hovered above Xiao Chen's residence and said, "Heavenly Alliance two-petal member Xiao Chen, heed my orders. A local sect elder in the Ink Sea Cluster is advancing to Sovereign Emperor, threatening the merchant association's interests. I order you to go and deal with this problem for the alliance within ten days. Otherwise, you will fail the mission, and you will be severely punished."
"Whoosh!"
A jade strip fell. Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and caught the jade strip. Then, he placed it on his forehead and checked it, gaining a rough understanding of the situation.
"Big Brother Xiao, should I get Old Liu to call the Demon Blood Vulture over?" Bao`er asked.
"There's no need. The Demon Blood Vulture is in the early stages of nurturing and is not suited for battle. Help me take care of the residence."
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he followed the administrator to the Heavenly Alliance's Dao Platform.
