Songhua Spirit Chicken Flock
On their way out of Serpent Dragon Lake, Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun were able to bypass many Demon Beast thanks to the Immortal Spirit Crane King Aoxiang flying in the sky as their eyes. They encountered no danger along the way and safely left Serpent Dragon Lake after several days.
Once outside the territory of Serpent Dragon Lake, they entered the human race's domain.
Ling Yunhong and Ling Pengyun then stopped sneaking around and instead rode on the Immortal Spirit Crane King to continue their journey.
The two first went to the Lingxiao Treasure Pavilion in West Yang Market Town. Ling Yunhong gave half of the 40% of the Yellow Sprout Grass that he had picked from the 35 acres of Spirit Field in the Snake Cave that belonged to the Lineage to Ling Yunfu, who was in charge of the Treasure Pavilion, and asked him to pass it on to Ling Yunhui, First Rank Middle Grade Alchemist who was in charge of refining pills in the Treasure Pavilion.
Having accomplished this task, the two then resumed their journey aboard the Immortal Spirit Crane King.
The Immortal Spirit Crane King flew extremely fast, and it only took eight days to traverse tens of thousands of miles and return to Lingxiao Mountain.
As soon as the two entered the mountain, they went straight to the Affairs Hall and told the Acting Great Elder Ling Pengliang about their return to the clan.
Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong chatted with Ling Pengliang for a few more minutes before saying goodbye and leaving.
After leaving the Affairs Hall, on his way back to his own courtyard, Ling Pengyun saw a huge Azure Feather Peng Bird descend from the sky.
This Azure Feather Peng Bird is none other than Ling Pengyun's Wind Shadow Peng.
Ling Pengyun sensed the aura emanating from the Peng bird Divine Sense delighted.
"This roc has actually cultivated to the Qi Training Ninth Layer in just three years!"
"Based on the cultivation speed of this Peng bird after consuming first-grade mid-to-high-grade spiritual fruits, it would take at least ten years to break through from the Qi Training Seventh Layer to the Qi Training Ninth Layer in three years."
"In just three years, this Peng bird has reached the Qi Training Ninth Layer. It must be that during the three years that my Fifteenth Great Grandfather took care of this Wind Shadow Peng bird, he fed it a lot of good things."
"After returning to the courtyard, I should go and thank my Fifteenth Great Grandfather."
It was a sudden decision that Ling Pengyun needed to guard the thirty-five acres of Spirit Field in the Snake Cave of Serpent Dragon Lake, so he did not bring the Wind Shadow Peng or the other Spirit Beast with him.
Ling Pengyun relayed the Ling Rushui Ling Pengyun Ling Yunhong, asking Ling Rushui to help take care of the Spirit Beast Spirit Beast in the clan.
Three years ago, Ling Rushui was brought back to the Clan Mountain from Cloud Mist Market by Ling Pengyun. He arranged for this elder of the Lineage, who had an extremely good relationship with his family like blood relatives and had no descendants to take care of him, to live in his own courtyard and be cared for as his great-grandfather.
As his thoughts returned to the present, Ling Pengyun mobilized his Divine Sense, triggering the Recognition of Ownership Restriction within the Wind Shadow Peng soaring in the sky, summoning it to his side.
As soon as the roc landed beside him, Ling Pengyun spoke.
"Take me for a spin and let me see your current flying speed."
Upon hearing this, Wind Shadow Peng nodded slightly, agreeing to the matter.
Ling Pengyun followed suit, lightly touching the ground and jumping onto Wind Shadow Peng's back.
"Fly." Ling Pengyun, sitting on the back of Wind Shadow Peng, patted Wind Shadow Peng's head and called out.
Upon receiving the signal, Wind Shadow Peng quickly flapped its long wings and rose into the air.
Knowing that its Master, Ling Pengyun, wanted to know its true flight speed, it did not hide it. It directly used the Light Body Technique and the Wind Control Technique Law Technique to enhance its body and flapped its wings to fly in a straight line.
Ling Pengyun, seated on its back, closed his eyes and used his Divine Sense to calculate the flying speed of the Peng bird.
The roc flew for nearly the time it takes to burn an incense stick before Ling Pengyun finally opened his eyes, a look of joy spreading across his face.
"If we calculate it this way, this Peng bird could travel more than 30 li in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If it flew at full speed for a day, it could travel 9,000 li in a day."
"This flight speed is more than enough for my transportation needs."
"We can stop now and return to the Clan Mountain," Ling Pengyun instructed Wind Shadow Peng, who had sat down.
Having received the Wind Shadow Peng was very obedient and immediately turned around, flying swiftly towards the Clan Mountain.
After an incense stick's time, Wind Shadow Peng landed in a courtyard halfway up Lingxiao Mountain.
This courtyard is where Ling Pengyun lives.
This courtyard is very different from the one Ling Pengyun left three years ago.
Inside the courtyard, there is a huge chicken coop that occupies nearly half of the space.
Beside the chicken coop, an elderly man with a full head of white hair was dozing off, lying flat on a chair.
The unusual movement of Ling Pengyun Wind Shadow Peng startled the old man awake.
The elderly man opened his eyes and looked toward the source of the disturbance.
When he saw that the source of the sound was Wind Shadow Peng, and that a very familiar-looking young man was sitting on his back, his pupils contracted slightly, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face. He laughed and called out.
"Peng Yun".
Ling Pengyun, who was sitting on the back of Wind Shadow Peng, jumped to the ground and walked quickly to the old man. He respectfully bowed and greeted the old man.
"The Fifteenth Great Grandfather."
The elderly man was Ling Rushui, whom Ling Pengyun had Ling Rushui in this courtyard three years ago.
"It's good that you're back safely. After you return to the clan, will you still be stationed on the Second Rank Spirit Vein that the Lineage and the Yang Clan jointly occupy?" Ling Rushui asked worriedly. Then, fearing that Ling Pengyun might misunderstand and know about the Second Rank Spirit Vein of the Serpent Dragon Lake, he added another question.
"I heard it from your Eleventh Great Grandfather that your Lineage and the Yang Clan jointly occupied a Second Rank Spirit Vein in the Serpent Dragon Lake area."
"Since I became aware of this matter, I have not told anyone else, so please rest assured."
"I believe in your Fifteenth Great Grandfather. After I return to the clan this time, I will not go out again. According to the Third Grandfather, the once-in-a-century Demon Beast Uprising will probably come soon. If I am still stationed on that Second Rank Spirit Vein, I may be in danger," Ling Pengyun explained.
"Is the Centennial Demon Beast Calamity about to begin?" Upon hearing Ling Rushui's expression trembled, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
"That's right," Ling Pengyun nodded in response.
"If this Demon Beast Uprising truly comes, I wonder if our Lineage can survive it safely," Ling Rushui sighed softly.
"Given that the Lineage currently has four Foundation Establishment warriors in command, the Lineage should have no major problems protecting itself during this Demon Beast Uprising," Ling Pengyun said in a deep voice.
Ling Rushui had lived for a hundred years, and from this sentence, he could easily discern another meaning.
Self-preservation is not a problem, but there will definitely be casualties.
"Let's not talk about such troublesome things. Since we're here, let's make the best of it."
After speaking, Ling Rushui stood up from the chair, a smile returning to his face. He walked to the chicken coop that occupied half of the courtyard, pointed to the chickens inside, and said with a smile.
"Peng Yun, come quick! There are eighteen Songhua Spirit Chicken in this chicken coop."
"Among them, the two Songhua Spirit Chicken with the highest Qi Training Second Layer of Qi Refining are the two Songhua Spirit Chicken that you entrusted to me to take care of three years ago. They are your Spirit Beast."
"The other sixteen Songhua Spirits were all Songhua Spirit Songhua Spirit Chicken laid by the two Songhua Spirit Songhua Spirit Chicken whose Qi Training Second Layer Refining during the three years that Ling Yunhong took care of them."
Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun looked up at the chicken coop and counted the number of Songhua Spirit Chicken inside.
When he received the answer, which was indeed the same as what Ling Ruxian had said, he was shocked.
"Fifteenth Great Grandfather, when I entrusted you with the care of those two Songhua Spirit Chicken, which I had placed under Recognition of Ownership Restriction, didn't I instruct you to save one Songhua Spirit Chicken they laid each month for your consumption? How did you manage to hatch the spirit eggs into spirit chickens?"
"The Songhua Spirit Chicken have always eaten a lot, and now there are as many as eighteen of them. The amount of spirit grains they eat every day is probably not small. The Spirit Stone you have spent on these Songhua Spirit Chicken over the past three years must not be small either."
Ling Pengyun frowned and said reproachfully.
"Eating Songhua Spirit Chicken directly is not as cost-effective as hatching them into Spirit Songhua Spirit Chicken," Ling Rushui said with a smile, seemingly unconcerned.
"Among these eighteen Songhua Spirit Chicken, there are five female Pineflower Chicken. Four of them are still growing, but only the female Pineflower Chicken at the Qi Training Second Layer has reached adulthood."
"Within three years, those four hens that are still growing will surely reach adulthood one after another. When that time comes, as long as these five Songhua Spirit Chicken are fed well every day, they will lay five Songhua Spirit Chicken for you in a month."
"On the market, a single Songhua Spirit Chicken is worth a full five Spirit Stone, so five eggs would be worth twenty-five Spirit Stone, and over the twelve months of a year, that's three hundred Spirit Stone."
Even after deducting the spiritual grain needed to feed the eighteen Songhua Spirit Chicken in this chicken coop each year, the net profit is still at least between one hundred and two hundred Spirit Stone Spirit Stone.
"With such returns, the Spirit Stone I invested in these Songhua Spirit Chicken deep in the mountains over the past three years will be recouped in less than four years."
"Give me a few more years, and I will increase the number of these Songhua Spirit Chicken by one or two times. In the future, the number of spirit eggs laid by these chickens will surely be even greater."
"At that time, you can sell those spirit eggs and get a lot of Spirit Stone in return."
"If it weren't for the long time required to raise Songhua Spirit Chicken, and the large amount of spirit grains supplied to the chickens for daily consumption in the early stages, which would take at least four years for the chickens to reach adulthood before they can hatch eggs and see a return, raising Songhua Spirit Chicken would be a good business."
"If we could obtain the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan, whose foundation is based on beast taming, then the Beast Taming Secret Method that can accelerate the growth of the Songhua Spirit Chicken would be ideal. In that case, the practice of raising Songhua Spirit Chicken could be promoted to the Lineage, and the Lineage could have another source of income as a result."
The Tiger's Roar Liu Clan has a special Beast Taming Secret Method for the growth of Songhua Spirit Chicken. After the spirit chicken hatches, it can be brought to adulthood in a short time through that Secret Method, and then spirit eggs can be hatched.
It was precisely because the Liu Clan was skilled at raising chickens that the Tiger's Roar Liu Clan would release a lot of spirit eggs to the outside world every year, earning a lot of Spirit Stone.
There are reasons why it takes a long time to reap the rewards of raising Songhua Spirit Chicken.
It takes a year to hatch a Songhua Spirit Chicken, and after the chicken hatches, it takes at least three more years to reach adulthood.
During the three years of growth, each Songhua Spirit Chicken needs to eat at least two ounces of Yellow Jade Spirit Grain every day, which means it needs at least two hundred jin of Yellow Jade Spirit Grain over three years.
These spirit grains are worth approximately thirty Spirit Stone.
Only after a chicken reaches adulthood can it incubate eggs and reap any benefits.
