Chapter 86: Chapter 85: The Cyan Flower Deer’s Little Thoughts
HUFF!
"I’ve recovered."
’This trip was quite fruitful. I got the Wild Mountain Monkeys’ bodies and the Black-striped Rhino, and I finished the sect mission. There’s still some time left in the three days. I’ll catch a few more Demon Beasts and then head out.’
Yu Changsheng formed a hand seal and summoned the Red Refining Snake. The snake moved its head pitifully, nuzzling his palm.
This was the worst beating it had ever taken. Its scales were cracked all over, and its snake gall was nearly ruptured.
If Yu Changsheng had waited any longer to intervene, the Red Refining Snake would have truly been reporting to King Yama.
"Here, eat some more Blood Returning Pills. Once you recover, your Defense Force is sure to reach a whole new level."
Yu Changsheng comforted the Red Refining Snake.
Although the Red Refining Snake had suffered terribly in this group battle, it had gained a significant amount of combat experience. At the very least, it wouldn’t be caught off guard by a similar situation next time.
Hearing this, the Red Refining Snake flicked its tongue. The thought that those damned Wild Mountain Monkeys were now corpses made it happy.
It turned its head and transformed into a streak of white light, returning to the Inner Realm to sleep, rest, and recover its Status.
’The Red Refining Snake is in no condition to fight again. I’ll have to rely on the Golden-Winged Eagle to catch some Demon Beasts.’
’They don’t need to be too strong. Tier One Fifth to Seventh Layer should be about right.’
Yu Changsheng sent his Divine Sense into the Jade Pendant to look at the map. He then chose a direction and summoned the Golden-Winged Eagle to fly there.
Soon, the three days in the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm were up. Yu Changsheng had harvested another five Demon Beasts. Although they weren’t as valuable as the Wild Mountain Monkeys or the Black-striped Rhino, they could still sell for several dozen to a hundred Spirit Stones.
With a teleportation from the Jade Pendant, Yu Changsheng successfully left the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.
The disciple guarding the Secret Realm glanced at him and took the initiative to open the Array.
’Next time, I’ll come back when I’m at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, or maybe the Ninth Layer.’
Yu Changsheng went to the Affairs Hall to turn in his mission. He received a Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm Ticket and ten thousand Sect Contribution points.
Once his strength increased further, or when the Spiritual Beast Four Extremes Formation was complete, he could enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm whenever he wanted, free to reap its rewards!
Next, he paid a visit to the Beast Garden.
After not seeing it for three days, the Cyan Flower Deer seemed even more lively than before. It wasn’t lying on the lawn resting, but was hopping and leaping about like an elegant and beautiful dancer.
When it sensed Yu Changsheng’s presence, it immediately stopped, turned its head to look at him, and called out, "Yoo!"
Yu Changsheng could now understand its meaning. It was roughly asking where he had been for the past three days.
"I accepted a sect mission to go capture Spirit Beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm."
"Yoo?"
"I was lucky. Didn’t get hurt at all."
"Yoo! Yoo!"
"Of course. Don’t let my age fool you; I’m actually very strong."
As he spoke, Yu Changsheng subconsciously reached out to stroke the Cyan Flower Deer.
The Cyan Flower Deer seemed to have gotten used to it. It actually followed the pressure of his hand, obediently lying down and lifting a leg for him to massage.
Although it was clearly enjoying it, the Cyan Flower Deer held its head high, maintaining a cool and composed expression.
"I have to go out again in a little while, so I won’t be able to come take care of you every day. Don’t be a picky eater with the food Elder Wei gives you."
"Yoo!"
"I’m not telling you what to do. You just need to eat more to have enough energy."
"Yoo! Yoo! Yoo!"
"It’s the Alchemy Conference hosted by Jade Cauldron Peak. I have to participate. I’m hoping to get the main ingredients for the Foundation Establishment Pill from it."
"Yoo?"
Yu Changsheng rolled his eyes at it and said, "What’s with that look? I’m an Alchemist, you know. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you try an Elixir I refined?"
The Cyan Flower Deer tilted its head curiously, then opened its mouth slightly and nodded.
Seeing that it dared to doubt him, Yu Changsheng immediately took out a Qi Enhancement Pill with Two Pill Patterns and popped it into the deer’s mouth!
"Yoo!"
The Cyan Flower Deer felt the Elixir melting in its mouth and cried out in surprise.
The medicinal effect could actually advance its Cultivation, and it wasn’t even bitter—it was sweet.
It had long heard that Spirit Beasts needed to eat lots of Elixirs if they wanted to practice Cultivation. However, the feed in the Beast Garden consisted mainly of raw materials, not Elixirs, so this was the Cyan Flower Deer’s first time tasting something different.
The sensation made it cry out with joy. It was delighted.
Eating Elixirs was fun and also boosted its Cultivation. Having gotten a taste of the good stuff, the Cyan Flower Deer opened its mouth toward Yu Changsheng again and nodded.
Yu Changsheng had no choice but to feed it another Qi Enhancement Pill, but this time it wasn’t one with Two Pill Patterns, just One Pill Pattern.
After all, a pill with Two Pill Patterns was hard to come by. He couldn’t be so extravagant as to feed them to the Cyan Flower Deer. ’It’s not my own tamed beast, right?’
"Yoo?"
After eating it, the Cyan Flower Deer was a little dissatisfied. The flavor and sensation were much weaker this time.
"Don’t be picky. A Qi Enhancement Pill with Two Pill Patterns is very difficult to refine."
Yu Changsheng said irritably.
The Cyan Flower Deer seemed lost in thought. It lowered its head and pouted its lips.
After the massage, Yu Changsheng left the lawn. The Cyan Flower Deer didn’t stop him, just quietly watched him walk toward the other Spirit Beasts, muttering something under its breath.
’Feeding the Cyan Flower Deer only gave me 1000 essence points, while the Golden-Winged Eagle gives over a thousand. Is the effect weaker because the deer’s Realm is higher?’
Yu Changsheng glanced at his essence points, feeling a pang of regret for the missing portion.
’Speaking of which, the Cyan Flower Deer is Wood Attribute, isn’t it?’
’Even though I’ve never seen it fight seriously, its strength is definitely greater than a Wild Mountain Monkey’s.’
’Plus, it has Magic like deterrence. This would make a great tamed beast! I’m lacking a beast that can serve as both a main fighter and support!’
The more Yu Changsheng thought about it, the more he wanted to form a Contract with the Cyan Flower Deer.
He and the Cyan Flower Deer had a pretty good relationship, so the chances of a successful Contract were high. However, it was a Spirit Beast from the Beast Garden, and taking it would require proper procedures. Of course, if Elder Wei agreed, things might be much simpler.
’I’ll find some time to ask Elder Wei. This deer doesn’t listen to him anyway, and keeping it here is just a waste of resources. I’m sure Elder Wei would be happy to see it go.’
Yu Changsheng chuckled to himself and then walked in Elder Wei’s direction.
Elder Wei was, as always, basking in the sun, stroking a Profound Turtle with half-closed eyes.
Ever since Yu Changsheng started taking care of the Spirit Beasts, his days had become blessedly idle. Except for the times when Yu Changsheng was away and he had to go around feeding them, he spent most of his time lying here, enjoying his retirement.
"You look like you have something on your mind. Go on, what is it?"
Elder Wei turned his head to look at the approaching Yu Changsheng.
Yu Changsheng hesitated, then smiled. "Well, it’s like this..."
"Oh, that Cyan Flower Deer? It’s no big deal. If you want to take it, you can, as long as it’s willing to go with you," Elder Wei said casually.
"Won’t the peak have a problem with that?" Yu Changsheng asked.
The Spirit Beasts in the Beast Garden were mostly brought here by Elders or other disciples to be raised, primarily to serve as Initial Imperial Beasts for new disciples.
"That Cyan Flower Deer has been here for a long time. Because it has quite a temper, no one has ever formed a Contract with it. Keeping it here is just a waste of resources."
"Of course, we’ve grown attached to it over the years. If you’re going to take it, you must take good care of it," Elder Wei said.
"Of course!" Yu Changsheng affirmed.
