Chapter 916 -405: Taken a Fancy to My Bird

It’s just unfortunate that in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, strength ultimately speaks.

If this talent were in cultivation, the Immortal Cultivation Realm might once again produce a Nascent Soul prodigy.

“That’s right, these are all materials for refining Nascent Soul Pills.”

Although lacking the main material, Lin Chang’an was already very satisfied, as these were extremely hard to obtain resources.

If the other party hadn’t been able to produce these rare resources, he wouldn’t have bothered trading this puppet.

However, he felt that the other party seemed indifferent to these puppets, which made him wonder: “Could it be that this person has discovered a secret realm or a place of treasures where they need puppets as expendables?”

While Lin Chang’an was pondering, the other party casually collected the three puppets with a wave of the hand.

“Friend, you and I both come from the Demon Beast Abyss, and I have another transaction here.”

Mr. Ming Yue looked at Lin Chang’an with a composed expression, and if this Phoenix Cry Bird wasn’t useful for future plans, she wouldn’t have established this transactional relationship with him.

“Boro Fruit!”

“What!?”

Lin Chang’an rarely displayed a look of shock.

Boro Fruit is a top-level Nascent Soul Spiritual Object; it not only calms the mind and stabilizes the divine soul but greatly aids cultivators in overcoming the Heart Demon Tribulation. Its most potent effect is that even if Nascent Soul Formation fails, it can preserve the cultivator’s divine soul from falling.

It’s equivalent to ensuring a cultivator’s life isn’t at risk in the event of Nascent Soul Formation failure.

Though he had suspected that the other party, given their resources for so many Nascent Soul Pills, must have prepared their own Nascent Soul Spiritual Object and was trading the rest, he was still stunned when the other party spoke.

“Mr. Ming, what is your aim, and why choose me!?”

He didn’t believe in any tales of old acquaintances from afar.

“I have discovered an ancient secret realm in the Southern Domain based on ancestral records, but this place is deep within the Devil Abyss Forest. The last time we met was when I was discreetly investigating the area.

And given your talent and determination, there’s a fair chance you’ll succeed in Nascent Soul Formation. Of course, if you were to fail, I hope you can lend me your Phoenix Cry Bird for a while.”

Mr. Ming Yue calmly laid out her prepared narrative.

Well then!

Lin Chang’an was speechless upon hearing this and said, “So, you’re not interested in me but rather in my spirit pet.”

“Exactly!”

After hearing the response, Lin Chang’an’s eye twitched, having considered everything but never suspected that his bird was the draw.

Yet, considering the Devil Abyss Forest, where the Phoenix Cry Bird restrains demonic beings, it made sense.

“This Boro Fruit was also found on the outskirts of the secret realm. Would you be willing to trade?”

Mr. Ming Yue pretended to be deeply contemplative, as if it took a long decision to agree to this.

But in reality, she was only interested in his bird. If he were to fail in Nascent Soul Formation, she believed the resources in Bihai Palace could definitely push the Golden Flame Divine Phoenix to the fourth tier.

Of course, if he managed to succeed by chance, she wouldn’t mind bringing him to the place, and if he were to perish, the bird would naturally become hers to nurture further.

“Naturally, if you don’t wish to take the risk, I swear upon my Dao heart that as long as you’re willing to lend me the Phoenix Cry Bird for a while, I’ll not only present the Boro Fruit to you handsomely.

In the secret realm, except for what my clan needs, you will get a share of the treasures, or else let my heart demon rebound.”

Well then, seeing the other party’s solemn seriousness, Lin Chang’an has gathered some key information.

‘My clan’ and ‘necessary items’ were the key terms causing Lin Chang’an to ponder that this person was indeed extraordinary.

But he truly didn’t expect that the Phoenix Cry Bird could fetch such a price.

Though he possessed the Self-Healing Body, who could predict the changes during Nascent Soul Formation, and as far as he knew, in eight or nine out of ten cases, a failure meant perishing.

The remaining ones would either be severely injured or suffer from a decline in cultivation.

If he had the Boro Fruit, it would indeed be highly beneficial for him, and it would also increase the chances of overcoming the heart demon.

“I see.”

Lin Chang’an realized as he looked at the other party; knowing their motive removed the fear.

Aiming at his bird made things easier.

It’s equivalent to acquiring top-grade Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects for free. Even if he knew the secret realm was exceptionally perilous and didn’t want to venture in, he could still reap benefits just by lending out the bird.

He wouldn’t lose out regardless.

Of course, there was the risk of the other party taking his bird and perishing within the secret realm together.

But from the looks of things, he seemed to not lose out either way.

“The fellow Daoist’s proposal does indeed intrigue me.”

Captivated, Lin Chang’an discussed some details with the other party.

Finally, both swore heart demon oaths, and to be extra cautious, they also signed a spirit contract together.

“Mr. Ming Yue!”

“Mr. Xiao!”

The two exchanged looks and smiled, the authenticity of the names didn’t matter, as the heart demon oath and spirit contract were real.

…

Half a month later, various big and small forces from the Protectorate Alliance of the Southern Domain arrived one after another, and when the Immortal City was at its liveliest, the auction commenced.
