Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 356 - 362: Plan

Li Chengsheng mentioned the Moon Shadow Rabbit and the Five-Colored Firebird, both of which are fourth-rank Spirit Beasts, associated with Taiyin and Taiyang, respectively. However, these details werenʼt the point, the point was that these two types of Spirit Beasts had practically no combat capabilities!

Their only prominent feature was their extremely attractive appearance!

The Moon Shadow Rabbit, petite and exquisite, was at most about a foot in length. Its red eyes were especially charming and pitiful. Surrounded by a halo of moonlight, its fur seemed pure white and flawless.

The Five-Colored Firebird had a slender figure with feathers of five colors that melded together perfectly without appearing gaudy, instead giving off a noble air. Its call was also pleasant to the ear, like a cold spring in the mountains or a gentle breeze through the forest.

From this, it wasnʼt hard to see that Li Chengsheng, that stinker, was a complete sucker for good looks!

Li Chengshuo, who lived with him day in and day out, knew this all too well. Once she became sensible, she noticed that her brother treated good-looking and not-so-good-looking people as different as heaven and earth.

Of course, no matter whether you were good-looking or not, Li Chengsheng still presented that sullen face, at most just with a barely perceptible, gentler tone!

And so far, only Li Chengshuo knew about this matter.

So when she heard Li Chengsheng say that, she rolled her eyes and muttered softly, ”Whatʼs the use of being good-looking? When it comes to fighting, can it make the opponent soften their heart, taking pity and cherishing beauty?”

”What are you muttering about?” Li Chengshuo spoke a bit unclearly, and Li Chengsheng didnʼt catch it.

”Nothing, I was just wondering what kind of Spirit Beast our parents will give us.” Li Chengshuo wouldnʼt dare let him know her earlier comment, otherwise, heʼd give her the cold shoulder for days on end.

”The best would be a powerful beast or bird-type Spirit Beast, that would be so cool. I think Uncle Xiaoqing is great, but itʼs a pity that the attributes donʼt match well, and dad has already made a contract with him.” As she spoke, Li Chengshuoʼs beautiful eyes shone frighteningly bright.

Li Chengsheng, upon hearing this, immediately lost interest in listening to the girl. Ferocious beasts and birds with Taiyin attributes? Better to go to sleep; dreams have it all.

Meanwhile, their parents were worried about finding Contracted Spirit Beasts for the two of them.

”Uncle, Iʼve been so busy these past few days that I forgot to prepare Spirit Beasts for Chengshuo and Chengsheng, who will soon start their cultivation.” Li Zhirui tried to suggest, ”Could we ask the clan members from the Dark Department to help inquire around?”

Li Shiqing looked at Li Zhirui with a half-smile, shook his head without any hesitation, and refused, ”You also know the importance and secrecy of the Dark Department; itʼs impossible for them to attend to your private affairs.”

Li Zhirui had anticipated this outcome, and his purpose in saying so was mainly the first part of his statement—to emphasize the urgency of time because he needed the support of the family to find Spirit Beasts with Taiyin and Taiyang attributes as soon as possible.

”I know youʼve been busy over the years and might forget about this, so Iʼve already had people inquiring.”

Li Shiqingʼs words greatly delighted Li Zhirui, who eagerly asked, ”Uncle, is there any good news?”

”Mhm, there is.” Li Shiqing nodded and said, ”Didnʼt a great beast tide erupt recently in Green Mountain State? Some audacious cultivators actually went against the tide and entered the Green Mountain Range. Their luck wasnʼt bad either; not only did they avoid encountering High-Rank Demon Beasts, but they also found a nest of third-rank Chaoyang Crow eggs.”

Most crucially, during the battle, the adult Chaoyang Crow fell! With that, there was no worry about a Devil Beast seeking revenge afterward.

”They sold the eggs to Green Mountain Commerce Association, and three days later is the associationʼs annual large auction. If nothing unexpected happens, the Chaoyang Crow should appear on the auction platform.”

Li Zhirui was very happy. Although they were only third-rank Chaoyang Crows, these were Spirit Beasts with a very clear evolutionary path. If you continuously tap into their bloodline, they could eventually evolve into the Taiyang Divine Bird, the Three-legged Golden Crow! Moreover, their combat capabilities were quite impressive.

”As for the news about a Spirit Beast with Taiyin attributes, there is some,” Li Shiqing said hesitantly, ”but this information is not certain.”

”Itʼs rumored that in Cang Hai Province to the south of Green Mountain State, an extremely rare Moon Serpent has appeared. However, these past years, the family has sent quite a few members to investigate, yet they have never discovered any trace of the Moon Serpent.”

Upon hearing this, Li Zhirui couldnʼt help but frown. The Moon Serpent was also a third-grade Spirit Beast, but it was rarer than the Chaoyang Crow, and its evolutionary route was also exceptionally good, with the possibility of evolving into a Taiyin Divine Dragon.

But the problem was, this was only a rumor!

After thinking it over, Li Zhirui said, ”After the auction ends, Iʼll take a trip to Cang Hai Province to see if I can find the Moon Serpent, and at the same time, Iʼll have to trouble Uncle to continue inquiring about Taiyin Spirit Beasts.”

”No problem.”

”Thank you for your hard work.”

”What hard work is there to speak of? Iʼm only moving my lips a bit, after all. Itʼs the other family members who are running about outside.”

”When they return, Iʼll be sure to thank them,” Li Zhirui said as he rose to take his leave. ”Iʼm going back to prepare the Spirit Stones needed for the auction.”

”The family should be the one to provide these Spirit Stones.”

Li Zhirui shook his head in refusal, saying, ”Thanks for your good intentions, Uncle, but since this is for Chengshengʼs Spirit Beast, I should be the one to pay.”

”I hear that this clutch of bird eggs has several, could it be that Chengsheng could contract several at once? Moreover, the family also needs a new third-grade Spirit Beast.”

Li Zhirui chuckled and said, ”I wonʼt hide it from you, Elder, my goal in doing this is to ensure Chengsheng can contract the Chaoyang Crow with the best aptitude.”

Li Shiqing was taken aback when he heard this, then scolded with a laugh, ”You young man are still so scheming.”

”Well then, since thatʼs your plan, letʼs do as you say. Just give the remaining Chaoyang Crows to the family, considering that, as an Alchemy Master, youʼre not short on Spirit Stones.”

Li Zhirui felt a bit embarrassed. It was true that ordinary Alchemy Masters were not short on Spirit Stones, but because he was speeding up the growth of Spiritual Medicine, he didnʼt have many Spirit Stones on hand, and it was very possible that he wouldnʼt be able to afford that clutch of bird eggs.

ʼI need to find a way to earn a hefty amount of Spirit Stones.ʼ But after giving it some thought, his only option was to sell the Spirit Pills he had on hand.

”Uncle, I should head back now.” Having said this, Li Zhirui left.

Returning to his cave dwelling, he told Jiang Fengwu everything he had learned from Li Shiqing and his own plans.

”Uncle truly has our best interests at heart, always keeping this matter in mind,” said Jiang Fengwu feelingly. ”Moreover, I think if you hadnʼt asked, he would likely have quietly taken care of everything.”

”Your plan is also correct. The Chaoyang Crowʼs grade and bloodline are not bad, and perhaps Chengsheng will be lucky enough to get one with a bloodline reversion? If we buy them all, we can avoid conflicts with family members and prevent any harm to our relationships.”

”How many Spirit Stones do you have on hand?” Jiang Fengwu asked the most critical question.
