The Effects of the Three-Tailed Wind Leaf

Before this, Feng Baiyu had no intention of stopping the bounty.

As long as he could afford the Spirit Bone, the more, the better!

Even if someone caught a phoenix with a lower cultivation age to trade, it wouldn't matter. After all, phoenixes were extremely rare; having any at all was a stroke of luck. Even if he couldn't use them, keeping such high-quality spirit beasts in captivity would never be a loss.

However, seeing Little Black's expression today, Feng Baiyu suddenly felt there was no need to be so cruel.

It was already difficult enough to catch a phoenix that he couldn't use, and who knew how many phoenixes those spirit masters might kill in the process of trying to capture one!

He could be indifferent toward other spirit beasts, but when it came to phoenixes, he wanted to show mercy.

"It's better to keep it posted outside," Feng Qingluan thought for a moment and said. "The bounty has been out for so long without a single phoenix being caught, yet many lives have already been lost here. To suddenly cancel it now would likely cause a lot of resentment."

As Feng Qingluan spoke, he glanced at his grandson. "This old man doesn't fear the insults of others, but this would be bad for your reputation!"

"This..." Feng Baiyu hesitated, but seeing that his grandfather had spoken, he did not argue further.

His grandfather was so good to him; there was no need to bicker over a difference in philosophy regarding this matter.

Besides, there was only one ten-thousand-year Spirit Bone left at home that hadn't been used. Even if he traded it, it would only be for a ten-thousand-year phoenix.

Once the trade was completed, it would count as someone fulfilling the bounty, and taking it down wouldn't be a breach of promise.

As the grandfather and grandson chatted, Feng Qingluan soon brought up the matter of Wang Long.

"Grandfather, this Wang Long is the grandson of Qianjun Douluo, and his second spirit ring is at the thousand-year level." Feng Baiyu explained Wang Long's situation and added, "I believe he is a talent worth molding, so I took the liberty of keeping him by my side."

"A talent worth molding?" Feng Qingluan felt as if he didn't recognize those words anymore.

That blockhead Wang Long—how could he be a talent worth molding?

The moment he arrived, he saw Wang Long letting Little Black ram into him. What kind of talent had a screw loose in his head?

However, since his grandson was willing to keep him, and neither the sixth nor seventh elders objected, Feng Qingluan wouldn't say anything to oppose it.

He certainly didn't want to be the villain!

Seeing Little Black keeping the Qingluan company, Feng Baiyu looked over at Wang Long and the others who were currently meditating. He spoke up, "Butler Shui, take Wang Long back to rest first."

"Understood." Shui Duanliu replied, grabbed Wang Long with one hand, and walked away. As for the previously mentioned auxiliary-type spirit emperor, he naturally followed along.

After the three had left, Feng Qingluan looked at his grandson. "Baiyu, you sent them away—could it be that you have something good?"

"You truly can't hide anything from you, Grandfather." Feng Baiyu said with a smile. "Why don't you take a guess at what good thing I've obtained?"

"You brat, you're teasing your grandfather!" Feng Qingluan couldn't help but chuckle; wasn't this exactly what his grandson had said when he returned last time?

"Something that makes you this nervous, to the point where you don't even want to tell Butler Shui, must be an important treasure!" Feng Qingluan analyzed it simply and said, "To reach this level, I imagine it can only be a Spirit Bone, a celestial herb, or perhaps Gold of Life!"

"Hehe." Hearing his grandfather's analysis, Feng Baiyu couldn't help but clap. "As expected of Grandfather, you guessed it in one."

Feng Baiyu stopped keeping him in suspense and took the [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf] out of his storage spirit tool.

"Grandfather, this is a top-tier herb I saw in the Compendium of Flora and Herbs called the [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf]!" Feng Baiyu said. "Although it isn't a celestial herb, it is a rare treasure for a wind-attribute spirit master."

"Wang Cheng sent this over, and I felt bad taking so much advantage of him." Feng Baiyu continued, "I intend to cultivate Wang Long into a Title Douluo; it's not without the intention of repaying a favor."

"While the [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf] is unlikely to directly help you reach level ninety-eight, it is enough to increase your spirit power significantly. Of course, the most important thing is that it can enhance your perception and speed!" Feng Baiyu handed the item to his grandfather. "Grandfather, I feel it can boost your strength by five percent!"

"So this is the [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf]?" Feng Qingluan looked at the herb his grandson handed him and couldn't help but marvel. "Even if it doesn't rank as a celestial herb, it has such miraculous effects! I dare not imagine how powerful a true celestial herb would be!"

Just as Feng Baiyu took out the [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf], the Qingluan, which was interacting with Little Black below, couldn't help but lift its head. It had never seen the [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf] before, but it felt that this thing would be of great benefit to it.

Feng Qingluan knew this was something his grandson had saved for him, so he didn't say anything discouraging like telling Feng Baiyu to keep it for himself.

He looked at his grandson and asked, "Baiyu, can this be eaten raw?"

"Just eat the leaves on top." Feng Baiyu pointed to the three leaves at the top. "The rest of it has no benefit to a spirit master."

"Understood."

Feng Qingluan didn't stand on ceremony; he tore off the three leaves and swallowed them raw. He tossed the rest of the plant aside and immediately began to refine the medicinal effects.

This [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf] was merely a top-tier herb, and for a level ninety-seven Title Douluo like Feng Qingluan, its effects were quite limited. Within an hour at most, he would be able to refine its medicinal power completely.

Watching his grandfather begin to refine the herb, Feng Baiyu had no intention of disturbing him. He leaped down to the ground and waited quietly for his grandfather to finish his cultivation.

Just then, Little Black quietly picked up the remainder of the [Three-Tailed Wind Leaf] in its mouth and walked toward the cage.

The Qingluan had said this thing was good for it; Little Black didn't understand, nor did it ask, simply carrying it over.

Feng Baiyu naturally saw Little Black's action of carrying the leftover herb and understood it was giving it to the Qingluan. He didn't stop it, merely curious about what effect the remainder of the herb would have on a spirit beast.

The Compendium of Flora and Herbs only stated that the three leaves were useful to spirit masters; it didn't mention the effects of the other parts on spirit beasts.

Now that he could watch the Qingluan try it out, he would be able to broaden his knowledge.

Even if the remaining part of the herb was extraordinary, it wouldn't cause the Qingluan to mutate into some other spirit beast.

In any case, there was no harm in it; he would just watch!

"Woof~ woof~"

Little Black delivered the remaining herb into the cage. The Qingluan gave Little Black a grateful look before swallowing it in one gulp.

And just as that half of the herb went down, Feng Baiyu felt its aura grow slightly stronger.

Feng Baiyu kept his [Fire Phoenix True Sight] focused on the Qingluan the entire time, and suddenly, he discovered that its cultivation age had begun to increase.

6236, 6269, 6347, 6388...

"Is the utilization rate of medicinal herbs by soul beasts really this high?" Feng Baiyu watched the age increase and couldn't help but be stunned. "If that's the case, then once I find a phoenix in the future, couldn't I just raise it entirely on immortal herbs?"

Feng Baiyu felt as if he had opened the door to a new world. Even half of a useless medicinal herb could boost a soul beast by several hundred years.

If it were an immortal herb of the same attribute, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it could increase a soul beast's cultivation by ten thousand years, right?

For a moment, Feng Baiyu's desire for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well grew stronger and stronger.
