This was not good news to Li Qingshan. It meant there were even more unpredictable variables.
If it was just a Hui Long, as long as his life lamp was not extinguished, no one would find it strange even if he did not appear for eight to ten years. This was the lifestyle of cultivators. However, if it involved a reincarnated senior brother of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect, then things would be hard to say.
Who knew how many friends and enemies he had in the Myriad Phenomenon Sect? Countless people were eyeing the True Dragon Abode. Perhaps even the two sect masters of the Myriad Phenomenon Sect would pay special attention.
"Little Ann and the others have been staying in the True Dragon Abode. Although it is beneficial for cultivation, it is too unsafe. I have to change places as soon as possible, even if it is just a little bit worse." Li Qingshan made up his mind. However, Deep Blue Little Fatty still needed some time to devour the new world. If he pulled out the Sky-Climbing Vine now, who knew how many people would die.
"Nothing happened after so long, it can't be such a coincidence!"
Li Qingshan suppressed the trace of unease in his heart and continued to head to the Spirit Beast Garden to collect his mount. However, a Mohist master once said, "If you are worried about something happening, then it is very likely to happen."
North of Myriad Phenomenon City, eighteen thousand li.
The wind howled and the waves raged, slamming against the black cliff again and again.
The snowstorm danced and rumbled as it swept past the cliff.
A black stone tablet stood on the cliff, overlooking the raging sea. Four large words were carved on it: "Xuanming Cave Abode!"
If Li Qingshan was here, he would definitely be able to tell that these words were written by the same person as the True Dragon Abode.
Behind the stone tablet was a mountain. The mountain was tens of thousands of li tall, piercing through the clouds as if it was connected to the sky.
There was no peak at the top, only a deep abyss that spanned dozens of li. It was like a black eye embedded in the sea of clouds, staring at the endless sky.
The abyss was so deep that even light could not illuminate it.
A lucky snowflake was swept up by the storm and sent above the clouds, but unfortunately fell into the abyss.
It had a crystalline color and a hexagonal shape. Like a stray spirit, it wandered around hesitantly, drifting lightly.
After drifting for an unknown period of time, he finally reached the bottom of the abyss. Without a sound, a faint ripple appeared on the black and transparent surface of the lake, melting away its sparkling color and hexagonal shape.
The ripples should have quickly calmed down, but the surface of the lake gradually surged.
"It's about time. Lin Xuan, have you failed?"
A deep and powerful voice muttered to itself. A pair of dragon eyes suddenly opened in the black lake.
The dark body at the bottom of the lake suddenly moved. Its black scales rippled like flowing water. Its five claws stretched out and dug into the craggy rocks. It propped up its huge body, raised its head, and roared towards the sky.
Boom!
It was as if a thousand-year-old volcano had been resurrected in the blink of an eye. What gushed out wasn't lava or fire, but a raging wave that weighed tens of millions of tons. An angry dragon emerged from the surging waves. At this moment, the majestic roar of the dragon could be heard, scattering the layers of clouds for thousands of miles.
The surging waves turned into clouds that surrounded a Gold-eyed Profound Dragon and soared into the sky. The dragon head was headed in the direction of the True Dragon Cave.
Separated by a transparent crystal wall. Li Qingshan focused all of his attention on a strange fish egg with wings. All he saw was it 'fly' around in the water, kicking up a series of splashes. It seemed to possess some kind of strange power. The description on the sign on the side was as follows:
Glory Fish Egg: Adult Glory Fish. Fish body, bird wings, sound like mandarin ducks, can fly and swim, and is good at water. Legend has it that it is related to the Kun Peng by blood, but it hasn't been proven. It's worth seven brass sticks, buy two get one free.
"I can give it to Yanying to play with."
Li Qingshan clicked his tongue in wonder. He continued forward and arrived in front of another iron cage. Inside was a big brown bear. Its eyes were closed as if it was sleeping, and it was hugging a wooden stake in its arms.
The sign beside it showed that this was a bear cub. Rather than saying it was sleeping, it was more accurate to say that it hadn't even opened its eyes. Its price was much more expensive than those Glory Fish eggs.
The bear cub rolled around in its sleep, and the wooden stake in its arms shattered with a crack.
"Hmm, even a cub is so fierce. I wonder how fierce it will be when it matures. No wonder it needs such a thick iron cage!"
Li Qingshan continued forward.
Iron-eating Beasts are also known as Black and White Bears. They can eat iron and bamboo, and are intelligent. Note: They can be raised even when they are not young.
"Hmm, this is good, this is good!"
Li Qingshan was like a little kid visiting a zoo for the first time. He was so excited that he wanted to clap his hands.
This "Spiritual Beast Garden" was really too fun. It was somewhat similar to the "Herb Garden". They were both grotto-heavens, and the inside was like a natural park. There were all kinds of strange and rare beasts for people to choose from. Whether they flew in the sky, ran on the ground, or swam in the water, there was everything. Some spiritual beasts could fly in the sky, run on the ground, and even swim in the water.
Many of them had only been heard of in legends, and some were even unheard of.
"Senior Martial Brother, have you chosen? This Iron-Eating Beast was caught by our Senior Martial Brother Sima from the Spiritual Beast Garden with great difficulty. It's very easy to raise. All you need is bamboo and iron. If you want to raise a bear cub, you'll have to buy at least a few thousand kilograms of meat a month. That's not a small amount. The Iron-Eating Beast is also a bear, and when it gets fierce, it's not much worse than a bear cub! It's even more human-like, and it's said that it can control one's mind. Look at its eyes … "
The female attendant in charge of reception introduced it very enthusiastically. She had already followed Li Qingshan all the way and had almost walked through the entire Spiritual Beast Garden. She didn't reveal the slightest bit of impatience.
Li Qingshan followed her finger and looked at the two dark circles under its eyes. The Iron-Eating Beast also looked back at him. Perhaps because of the Qilin's bloodline, it seemed to be very close to him. It made him inexplicably have a strong urge to buy one to raise. However, this was choosing a mount, not a pet, so it was better not to waste a bookmark.
Thus, he shook his head. "Forget it, I'd better convert it into a bookmark! I like to walk by myself. "
The female attendant said, "Senior Martial Brother, you're wrong. The so-called 'mount' is just a saying. Which one of us doesn't know how to ride the clouds and the wind? Why must we ride on a beast? However, a mount is not only related to a cultivator's life, it's a lifelong companion that shares weal and woe. There's only one benefit that I can't not mention. It can greatly extend a cultivator's lifespan. "
"What do you mean?"
"Humans are the most intelligent of all creatures. It's a pity that their lifespan is too short, unlike the Demon Race who can easily live for tens of thousands of years. Thus, they have to learn from each other's strengths to make up for their shortcomings. They raise demonic beasts and sign a contract of alliance to extend their lifespan. Do you know Senior Martial Brother Le Tian from the Chaotic Life Mill?"
Li Qingshan said, "Sigh. However, I heard that he made a bet with Ox-Head Ah Bian on the Yellow Springs Road. "
The female attendant smiled mysteriously. "That's just a legend. Ox-Head Ah Bian isn't that easy to fool. Have you seen that Three-legged Golden Toad?"
Li Qingshan nodded.
"Three-legged Golden Toad is the best at extending one's lifespan. I'm afraid Senior Martial Brother Le Tian only managed to stall for some time. It was the Three-legged Golden Toad that helped him hang on to his last breath."
Li Qingshan had all kinds of Godfiend bloodlines, so his lifespan was very long. He had never considered this problem before. Furthermore, lifespan actually didn't mean much to him. If he couldn't reach the Nine Heavens in time, Brother Ox's enemies probably wouldn't let him off.
However, through Lin Xuan's matter, he could feel how important lifespan was to human cultivators. Normal Nascent Soul cultivators only had a lifespan of a thousand years. It was far from being comparable to Demon Kings of the same cultivation level.
He looked at the adorable Iron-eating Beast. "Sigh, these demonic beasts are really pitiful to be used like this."
The female attendant glared at him. "Senior Martial Brother, you can't say that! The people in our Spirit Beast Garden are all very caring. No matter how intelligent demonic beasts are, they are still demonic beasts. In the end, they were just demonic beasts and could not be compared to humans. In the Demonic Beast Path, only one percent of 10,000 Glory Fish eggs can become Glory Fish. Only one can grow and lay eggs. This adult fish will go through all kinds of elimination and escape from hunters. The chances of it cultivating into a demonic beast are even lower. What's the use of having a long lifespan? "
"Humans are the most intelligent of all creatures. Not only do we give them a better environment, we take care of their food and daily life. We can also inspire their intelligence and teach them to cultivate, allowing them to step onto the path of cultivation. Only by cultivating will they have such a long lifespan. We treat them even better than our own fathers! They just take care of us and give us a portion of their lifespan. Isn't that fair? "
Pfft!
Li Qingshan could not help but laugh. This female attendant was rather interesting. Thinking of Spirit Sovereign Guihai and the Nine-colored Deer's grandeur, he, who was inferior to a deer and a tortoise, probably did not have the right to pity these demonic beasts.
Even if one lived in this world, it was inevitable to be 'ridden'. Furthermore, it was riding on a white mount. Just a few people would dare to make one work for them. It was better to live a carefree life with these mounts.
Thinking back to when that bastard Chuo Long wanted him to be a mount, it had truly infuriated him. Now, from the looks of it, it was not entirely an insult. Instead, it had the intention of promoting him. However, he had no interest in such a good thing where he was second to none. If it was Ruan Yaozhu … Ahem!
"Oh, I'm sorry. I understand. However, I think it's best to change it to a bookmark. I already have a mount. "
The female attendant was flattered. She did not expect him to apologize to her. She could not help but blush as she asked shyly, "Senior Martial Brother, what is your mount? Our Spirit Beast Garden also provides all kinds of exquisite food. It's not expensive either. There's a set meal here. Raising a mount is a great knowledge. If there's anything you don't understand, I can help you take a look. "
The main business of the Spirit Beast Garden was not selling spirit beasts. Instead, it was providing all kinds of related services. She was not afraid that Li Qingshan would not buy a mount. She was only afraid that Li Qingshan would not raise a mount.
"Oh, it's a phoenix."
Li Qingshan used Li Fengyuan as an excuse again. He was considering when to bring him to the Human Realm to play. He did not allow others to ascend because he did not trust them. As the weakest of the Four Heavenly Kings, Li Fengyuan was obviously not included in this list.
He was not far from the fourth Heavenly Tribulation. He would definitely be a great help. Pretending to be a mount was not a bad idea. It was not worthwhile for him to ride him. It was only right for a son to carry his father once in a while.
"Phoenix … Phoenix!?" The female attendant was stunned. If the Three Legged Golden Toad was only good at prolonging one's life, the phoenix was good at Nirvana Rebirth. It was immortal and would be of great help to cultivators. Not to mention other benefits. However, the phoenix had a reserved and arrogant nature. How could it be a mount for someone? "Senior Martial Brother, you are not joking, right?"
Li Qingshan said, "No! Is there anything to feed the phoenix here? Forget it, he likes to drink wine and eat meat. "
"Drink wine and eat meat!" The female attendant was already sure that Li Qingshan was bragging. However, she did not want to expose him. She smiled and said, "Senior Martial Brother, bring it to our Spirit Beast Garden in the future. I have seen Senior Martial Brother Lin Xuan's Golden-Eyed Profound Dragon once. However, I have never seen a phoenix before!"
Sigh, this senior martial brother was so amiable. It was a pity that he liked to brag.
"Well said, well said."
Li Qingshan's heart stirred. That trace of uneasiness that was suppressed suddenly became clear.
