Bai Songzi's simple mind was in a mess.
He had seen many red-crowned cranes of various species in this world. However, this was his first time seeing one that grew as fast as Little Yun.
Naturally, he had heard Lu Sheng's words. However, he did not believe him at all. If Little Cloud's previous transformation was considered normal, then the final increase to a height of nearly ten meters, which was the size of a small mountain, was not something he could imagine.
This was already close to the body of an ordinary demon general.
The Demon Tribe was divided into four ranks: ordinary lesser demons, fairies, demon generals, and demon kings. Each rank was further divided.
For example, the lesser demons were divided into four ranks according to their cultivation base: acquired, innate, perfected, and shapeshifted.
If an ordinary lesser demon wanted to be reborn, it would take at least 300 to 500 years to do so. After attaining the fairy rank, they would gain intelligence and could cultivate cultivation methods instead of relying on their instincts.
This rank depended on one's tribe and bloodline. The stronger the bloodline, the longer this rank would take.
The White Crane Tribe's bloodline was not considered powerful, but it was not too bad either. This rank would take about 200 years.
Further up was the demon general rank.
Bai Songzi was at the fairy rank. He was only slightly over 100 years old. This was already a great opportunity.
However, what did this fellow beside him mean?
Bai Songzi could tell that Little Yun was no more than 10 years old. However, her body was that of a fairy with a cultivation base of several hundred years and above. She was even close to the demon general rank.
"Are you telling the truth?" He retracted his gaze and looked at Lu Sheng again.
If what the other party said was true, then perhaps his chance had really come.
"The truth is before you. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Lu Sheng smiled.
100 red-crowned cranes. If he could make use of them properly, they would be a great fortune.
His Great Clear Crane Enlightened Skill's cultivation base was extremely profound. With nearly 800 years of cultivation base, he was second to none in the entire Clear Crane Sect.
In addition to the nourishment from his spirit-prompting threads, it would not be difficult for him to mass produce a demonic crane like Little Yun.
"I believe that you can improve one red-crowned crane this much. However, there are so many tribes here. What do you plan to do?" Bai Songzi could guess at a glance that the person in front of him was here to subdue him, so he might as well speak frankly.
Lu Sheng was stunned. He did not expect Bai Songzi to be so intelligent.
"I naturally have my ways, you don't have to worry about this. Are you willing to cultivate dual spirituality with me? "
The Twin Spirit Zheng Yuan Mantra was a crucial skill formula of the Clear Crane Sect. Once the human and the crane were connected, they would be able to circulate the Pure Qi within the other's body at the same time regardless of which one of them cultivated it.
This was equivalent to having twice the amount of cultivation time. This was also the key reason why the Clear Crane Sect was able to survive for so long. After all, their skills were too lousy.
Bai Songzi thought about it carefully.
"If you can do what Little Cloud did and strengthen the crane I chose, then I will lead the entire race to submit to you."
"No problem." Lu Sheng smiled.
About ten minutes later, Bai Songzi picked an average-sized little white crane that was neither tall nor short nor fat nor skinny and handed it to Lu Sheng.
"How much time do you need?"
"Same four days," Lu Sheng answered simply.
He took the little white crane and left the lake with Xiao Yun.
They did not walk far before Lu Sheng found an abandoned cave used by bears for winter on a nearby mountain wall.
If he kept walking, he would reach an underground karst cave.
He released the little white crane and swiftly set up a simple Illusory Formation in the cave. The creatures inside and outside would not be able to get their bearings. They would need his permission to enter or leave the cave.
After he was done with the preparations, Lu Sheng began to modify the little white crane.
In truth, the modification process was simple. Xiao Yun's transformation was mainly due to his spirit-prompting threads.
Lu Sheng separated a small amount of his spirit-prompting threads and fused them with the Twin Spirit Zheng Yuan Mantra that he had exchanged with the little white crane. He fused them with the Great Clear Crane Enlightened Skill's Pure Qi and allowed the two to circulate between the man and the crane.
Indeed, the spirit-prompting threads could not be used outside the body. However, it was possible to achieve internal harmony through the exchange of Pure Qi.
With the spirit-prompting threads and the derived and perfected Great Clear Crane Enlightened Skill, the little white crane grew rapidly as if it was inflated.
In just two days, the little white crane had grown to more than two meters tall. Initially, it was skeptical of Lu Sheng. However, now, it was completely convinced by Lu Sheng.
Animals were that simple. If you were powerful, they would submit to you. If you were weak, they would instinctively swallow and suppress you.
After demonstrating the little white crane's transformation and gaining Bai Songzi's approval, Lu Sheng indirectly gained control over the hundred cranes.
Under Xiao Yun's deterrence and Bai Songzi's reassurance, the cranes quickly accepted the new transformation under Lu Sheng's leadership.
Lu Sheng spent more than a day asking Bai Songzi about the language communication among the red-crowned cranes.
After mastering the basics, he immediately began preparing for his plan.
…
Outside the Moon Prince's Mansion.
In a wing on the third floor of Brocade Han Restaurant, Yuan Jikong and two beautiful young girls with hostile expressions sat opposite each other with bitter smiles on their faces.
"I really don't know where your Big Brother Jing went. He said he wanted to cultivate, and then he went into the mountains. Nobody can find him now. We can't find him either! "
The two young girls each had their own merits. One of them had curves in all the right places, and her waist was slender. She wore a black and red silk dress with pleats. Her legs were covered in snow-white, skin-tight stockings.
Her dark red hair hung down to her waist, and she wore a pair of crescent-shaped jeweled earrings. She looked gorgeous and sexy.
The other girl had a pure air about her. She wore a white shirt and long pants. The black pants were too skin-tight, and her buttocks and legs looked slender and tight.
The girl held a white round fan in her hand, which covered her small red mouth. Her silky black hair fell casually on her shoulders. Her almond-shaped eyes stared at Yuan Jikong calmly and peacefully.
These two girls were Yuan Jikong's younger sisters. The voluptuous one was called Yuan Liuliu, and the long-legged one was called Yuan Yuanyuan.
These two names were also oddities, originating from their mothers.
The two girls were not born from the same branch as Yuan Jikong. Yuan Jikong was the eldest son, the eldest in the family. These two girls were born from General of the Guard's third concubine.
The concubine's beauty was unparalleled, but she came from a rough background. She was a butcher for generations. Fortunately, she was married before General of the Guard's establishment. Yuan Jikong's father had always been a man who valued relationships. He did not abandon his wife and concubine. He brought them to the Moon Prince Mansion, and they became the Guard General of the Moon Prince Mansion's territory.
"Liuliu, Yuanyuan, I really don't know where your Brother Jing went. If you want to look for you, look for the Ning Family's eldest young master. He must know something. It's said that the sect the prince joined has something to do with one of his family's worshippers. "
Yuan Jikong immediately pushed the blame away. If these two girls really pestered him, he would not be able to live a good life in the near future.
"Are you serious?!" Yuan Liuliu rose to her feet. Her voluptuous bosom swayed, and Yuan Jikong quickly averted his gaze.
"Why would I lie to you?" Yuan Jikong said helplessly. These two girls only behaved themselves in front of that brat Huang Jing, but they were practically devils in human form outside.
Yuan Liuliu crossed her arms and sneered, "If you dare lie to me, we'll complain to our father. We'll say that you're trying to rape our sisters!"
Her beautiful legs were wrapped in pure white muslin stockings. They were propped up on the edge of the table, and her voluptuous territory was vaguely concealed by her long black and red dress. Yuan Jikong did not dare to look at her carelessly.
"Young lady, I really don't know where he went!" Yuan Jikong complained.
These two sisters had always had a soft spot for Huang Jing since they were young. Moreover, they had inherited their mother's shrewish style.
In front of Huang Jing and the elders, they were like a helpless little bird, pure and quiet. However, in front of others, they were sinister, ruthless, and terrifying.
"I'll believe you for once!" Yuan Liuliu scoffed. "If we can't find any clues from the Ning Family, we'll come back for you!" She pushed her chair away and strode out the door.
"Big brother, it's not that we don't believe you, but Brother Jing hasn't shown himself for so long. We're worried that he'll be snatched away by some vixen. That'll be troublesome," Yuan Yuanyuan, who was left behind, said gently and softly.
"Yuanyuan, it's not that I don't want to help. Big brother, I really don't know!" Yuan Jikong wanted to cry, but he had no tears. If he were to really think about it, he was more afraid of this quiet and pure little sister before him.
These two girls were stubborn enough to want to marry Huang Jing and become that nuisance's future Princess Consort.
However, when he thought about it, these two girls' backgrounds, including their manners and temperament, did not meet the standards of the Moon Prince's Princess Consort.
Yuan Jikong had always been troubled.
There were a few times when Huang Jing came to visit him. Just as he was about to spend the night, he would suddenly notice two naked sisters in his bedroom.
This fright was truly fatal.
Although Huang Jing was not afraid of women, these two sisters, Yuan Liuliu and Yuan Yuanyuan, were not ordinary girls. Both of them were Defense General Yuan's darlings.
If he really had sex with them, he would have to marry them even if he did not want to.
In the end, Huang Jing did not even dare to enter his house. The two of them could only communicate with each other through secret signals outside.
"But why would Brother Jing want to cultivate Dao for no reason? The legendary High Dao Elders come and go unpredictably, appearing and disappearing from time to time. If he's not careful, he'll never return … "Yuan Yuanyuan frowned slightly. She was slightly worried.
"You don't have to worry about that. I'm guessing that Huang Jing won't be able to stand the boredom in less than two months. He'll return to the Prince's Mansion on his own." Yuan Jikong forced a smile and comforted her.
"I hope so." Yuan Yuanyuan rose as well. She was about to leave.
"By the way, Yuanyuan." Yuan Jikong suddenly called out to her. "Did Father ask you to help him with something again the last time he asked you to go over?"
Yuan Yuanyuan asked after a moment of silence.
"Not really. He only asked me to help train the female guards."
Yuan Jikong opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. However, he did not say anything in the end.
He was afraid of these two sisters not only because they were shrewd and fierce. More importantly, these two sisters were actual female generals in the army!
Yuan Liushan, who was slightly older, wielded a pair of long spears and a short spear. Whether it was in terms of fighting on foot or on horseback, he was one of the best valiant generals. Moreover, he was born with extraordinary strength. Although he looked soft and weak, his father had to admit defeat when he moved.
Yuan Yuanyuan, who was slightly younger, wielded a pair of Water-splitting Spears. She moved and dodged with astonishing speed. She had successfully assassinated a few civil and military officials who opposed her father in the imperial court.
Outsiders might not know, but Yuan Jikong was well aware that Yuan Yuanyuan had used her private money to recruit talents and establish a secret assassin organization three years ago.
The members of the organization were personally trained by her. The assassins trained by this organization had participated in the great battles led by the Moon Prince several times. They had played a crucial role in those battles.
"Don't worry about anything else. Helping to find Brother Jing is the most important matter at hand!" Yuan Yuanyuan pushed the door open and walked out slowly. She quickly disappeared into the corridor in front of the door.
