Blue Yin Birds

But back then he would count the beans one by one when he ate fried beans; now he just tosses them in handfuls.

Double the happiness!

The two used Concealment Technique until there was no one else around, then Lin Xiao took out his peach wood sword and flew with Jiang Youfu on the sword.

They flew at a slow speed, keeping a close watch on whether any Demon Beast were lurking below.

But to their surprise, the first wave of Demon Beast they encountered on their journey did not come from the ground, which they had been focusing on, but from the air.

Five bright blue birds, seemingly unaware of their presence, were flying towards them.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, those birds over there are so beautiful!"

Jiang Youfu, standing behind Lin Xiao, tilted his head and looked at the birds in front of him with a sigh.

These five birds looked somewhat like peacocks to Lin Xiao, with shiny, lustrous plumage and very large bodies, probably about two meters long. However, they flew like geese.

Seeing these five large flying birds, Lin Xiao made a decision: the first demonic Demon Beast they would raise in their Lingxian Sect's yet-to-be-built breeding farm would be these!

These birds only had the cultivation level of the Spirit Opening Stage, so for Lin Xiao, who was at the Golden Core Stage, capturing them alive was a piece of cake.

He spread his left hand outstretched, and threads formed from Spiritual Power spread out from his palm as if they had eyes, shooting swiftly towards the birds.

In the blink of an eye, these threads of Spiritual Power tightly surrounded the five birds. By the time they realized they were trapped, it was too late.

The dense threads of Spiritual Power instantly tightened the encirclement, binding the five birds like mummies.

Having lost their ability to fly, they began to fall, carrying Lin Xiao's Spiritual Power threads, until all the threads were taut and suspended in the air, one end of each thread still connected to Lin Xiao's palm.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao suddenly felt that he really looked like a spider.

He pulled back the Spiritual Power threads, and the birds were brought up with them. He then put them all into the living creature storage area of his private treasury.

Then Lin Xiao said to Jiang Youfu behind him:

"Let's take them back and raise them."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Youfu was very surprised:

"Really, Brother Xiao?! Then I'll take care of them! I'll feed them every day!"

At this moment, Liao Pantu, who was inside the Soul-Nourishing Pendant, spoke up:

"Do either of you even know what these Blue Yin Bird eat before you say you want to raise them? Are they that easy to raise?"

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Xiao's mind:

[Ding--Congratulations, host, you have captured five Blue Yin Bird. The system has determined that they meet the standards for raising Demon Beast and allow them to be placed in the living creature storage area. You are also rewarded with twenty Mushroom Fruit seedlings. The Mushroom Fruit produced by these seedlings is a favorite food of the Blue Yin Bird, without exception.]

Then Lin Xiao saw that there were twenty strange-looking saplings in his private storage.

So he began to speak:

Do Blue Yin Bird eat Mushroom Fruit?

Liao Pantu was momentarily surprised when he suddenly spoke.

How did you know?

"Uh..." Lin Xiao made a token sound as if to respond, but didn't explain anything.

After asking the question, and considering Lin Xiao's consistently unusual behavior—it seemed that whatever the kid wanted to do, he could always accomplish it— Liao Pantu coughed lightly.

"Just know what to eat, raise them, they'll be very useful, hmm."

After saying that, he nestled inside the Soul-Nourishing Pendant, intending to remain silent forever.

Having caught five Blue Yin Bird, Lin Xiao was in a good mood. He lowered his flying sword a little and continued his hunting journey.

Meanwhile, Banxiang City.

Yuan Zhiyun arrived here a few days ago.

As the young master of the Yuan Household, she naturally couldn't miss such a grand event as the Talisman Master Assembly.

She naturally lived in these mountains that had been converted into cave abode dwellings. Although she was a bit stingy, she was still generous when it came to her food, clothing, and daily necessities. After all, she was the young master of the Yuan Household, and she couldn't be without any prestige.

She also wanted to see if anyone here had Icefield Spirit.

If no one offered 100,000 Spirit Stone in Yuanling City and still couldn't make a deal, it means there really isn't any, and raising the price further wouldn't help.

Their family not only made purchases in Yuanling City, but they also kept inquiring about other places.

But nothing came of it.

Icefield Spirit are extremely rare and hard to come by. Their effects are well-known, and they are also exceptionally good at hiding, rarely showing themselves. They are also very agile, making them very difficult to catch unless you're extremely lucky.

It's difficult for cultivators with lower cultivation levels to catch, and cultivators with higher cultivation levels won't go out of their way to spend a lot of time searching for and capturing this thing alive in the freezing cold.

Moreover, most people who actually get caught do so as if they're afraid someone else will snatch it away, and immediately bind themselves to the platform to benefit themselves.

Therefore, this item is extremely rare on the market, so much so that even after a year, the Yuan Household still hasn't received it.

If they still can't acquire it, Yuan Zhiyun plans to try her luck again in that Icefield Mystic Realm this year.

Thinking it over, Yuan Zhiyun left her rented cave abode, intending to go out and inquire about some information.

To her surprise, as she turned around, she suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure.

The figure disappeared around the corner a short distance ahead, but Yuan Zhiyun frowned.

Thinking of that figure from just now, a strong sense of familiarity spread through her heart; she felt that she most likely recognized that figure.

But for a moment, I couldn't remember who it was.

As Yuan Zhiyun chased after the figure, she thought to herself, "It seems this person must be someone I haven't had much contact with recently, otherwise I wouldn't have failed to recognize them."

However, based on a sense of familiarity, she intuitively felt that this person must be someone she knew very well.

I haven't had much contact with it recently, but it's something I'm very familiar with...

Could it be...?

But that's not right. I didn't sense any Spiritual Power from that figure just now; it seemed like an ordinary person...

Perhaps he possesses something that shields his cultivation, or perhaps... his cultivation was crippled?

Yuan Zhiyun followed the direction she had just been heading for a while and caught up with the figure.

But she noticed that the person in front of her seemed to be trying to hide something, as if they didn't want to be noticed, so she quietly followed behind and didn't go forward to confirm their identity.

Yuan Qing didn't notice the person following him, after all, there was a difference in cultivation level between him and Yuan Zhiyun.

In his view, he was just a Qi Refining Stage cultivator. As long as he was careful, no one in Banxiang City, which was full of cultivators, should notice him.

Walking down the bustling street, Yuan Qing let out a soft breath, then began to listen intently to inquire about the Heavenly Profound Sect while keeping an eye on the patrol teams maintaining order on the street.
