Immortality begins with upgrading buildings

Chapter 32 Spirit Bird [Please continue reading]

"Who?!"

A deep voice came from the island, and then the black mist parted to the left and right, revealing a secluded path.

A tall man dressed in rotten hemp clothing slowly walked out from inside.

He was tall, but his body was covered with festering wounds, making him look extremely gruesome.

The person was alive, but exuded a heavy aura of death.

I only saw him take a few steps, but in the blink of an eye he arrived at the shore.

The long-bearded man on the flying boat stroked his beard and chuckled, "Every profession has its rules. As for who wants this Bone-Rotting Flower... well, that's something I can't say."

"Um."

The man in hemp clothing nodded, neither making things difficult nor daring to do so.

"How did you find out?"

The long-bearded man said bluntly, "He wants to buy four plants. Old ghost, are you selling them or not?"

The man in hemp clothing, referred to as Old Ghost, pondered for a moment and said, "Using barter instead of spirit stones to arrange a meeting between me and him, isn't that within the bounds of propriety?"

"That's certainly not a problem," the long-bearded man chuckled. "But whether the other party is willing to meet you, I have no idea."

"It's alright, ask first... Anyone who knows about the Bone-Rotting Flower can't avoid meeting it."

"Just have him meet you at this place then."

Old Ghost casually tossed out a piece of paper.

The long-bearded man took it with one hand, glanced at it, and then cupped his hands in farewell, saying, "Alright, farewell."

After speaking, the flying boat sliced ​​through the water, and the long-bearded man disappeared into the vast cloud and rain marshland. The black mist once again enveloped the island, and the old ghost's figure also vanished.

……

"Brother Chicken, has the red-crested chicken I ordered last time arrived?"

On that day, Ji Yuan arrived at the familiar chicken cultivator's shop.

Since the chicken coop was upgraded to level 2, it has been able to briefly control level 1 spirit birds. Ji Yuan naturally couldn't give up on this, so he came to the chicken cultivator to buy one early on.

Unexpectedly, he was only selling semi-spirited chickens, similar to the green-yellow chickens.

Ji Yuan needs real spirit birds, and they all need to be booked in advance.

Sure enough, Ji Yuan has come several times already, saying he hasn't arrived yet, but he came again today.

"We're here, we've been waiting for you, Brother Chicken." The Chicken Cultivator nodded repeatedly.

Ji Yuan touched his waist. "Huh, I don't think I brought any spirit stones. I'll go back and look for some."

Upon seeing this, the chicken cultivator quickly begged for forgiveness, "Brother Yuan, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Ji Yuan called him "Brother Chicken" because he was a chicken seller. Ji Yuan was not happy about it, so he called Ji Yuan "Brother Ji". After a few times, "Brother Ji" became "Brother Chicken". This was fine once or twice.

Today, Ji Yuan has to pay up, so he naturally can't suffer this humiliation any longer.

"Let's take it out and have a look."

As the chicken-spirited monk walked into the inner room, he said, "Brother Yuan, I'm really sorry, the female red-crested chickens you want are extremely rare. We've been trying to catch them in Jing'anfang for a long time but haven't been able to. We only managed to catch one male."

"Male?"

Ji Yuan frowned slightly. With the effect of the [Chicken Coop], it was naturally better to buy hens. With the spirit eggs laid by first-tier spirit birds every day, the effect would definitely be better than that of green and yellow chickens.

"Yes, but Brother Yuan, think about it, this red-crested chicken must be a rooster, so that it can release a small bottle of red-crested blood every ten days. This blood is the nemesis of evil spirits, and it can fetch a high price when sold."

After the chicken monk finished speaking, he brought out an iron cage with talismans pasted on it from the inner room. Inside the cage stood a rooster that was about four feet tall.

The most striking feature of this red-crested pheasant is its dark red comb, resembling coagulated amber, with serrated fleshy spines along its edges.

Its entire body is covered with scale-like hard feathers, and it also has three dark iron-colored tail feathers.

Although he was captured, he still looked like a victorious general standing in that iron cage.

Even though it was a rooster, Ji Yuan was still somewhat pleased at first glance. This spirit bird that had reached the rank was indeed much stronger than the half-baked Qinghuang chicken.

"Alright."

Ji Yuan appeared extremely regretful, even a little disappointed, "Then this price..."

Upon hearing this, the chicken cultivator immediately became anxious. "The price absolutely cannot be lowered. I've already invested quite a bit. If you cut my price again, this business will be impossible to conduct."

"I want the hen to lay eggs, and the rooster, although we can get blood from its comb, is also a good thing."

But who can get it alive? This red-crested rooster is a living creature, not a dead one. Besides, getting blood from its comb is usually a one-time thing, so it wouldn't make sense not to lower the price.

"17 pieces, how about it? At this price, if you still can't handle it, then we're not doing business here."

"Okay... then."

The initial price was 19 spirit stones, so cutting it down by two spirit stones is a good deal.

Ji Yuan paid with spirit stones.

This red-crested rooster is only a first-stage spirit bird, meaning it needs to be alive, which is why it's more expensive.

Ji Yuan then carried the red-crested chicken through the market, attracting the attention of many people.

After all, the number of cultivators who buy live demonic beasts is still relatively small.

Ji Yuan was not afraid. Of course, the main reason was that this living creature could not be put into a storage bag, so he had no choice but to do so.

After a while, when he returned home, he went straight to the backyard. First, he summoned the Dragon Armor Shield to protect himself, then he summoned the Black Gold Blade and let it hang above the Red-crested Chicken's head, while the Deadly Needle floated in front of the Red-crested Chicken's eyelids.

Only then did Ji Yuan feel relieved enough to open the chicken coop and release the chicken.

With the three magical artifacts threatening it, even though the red-crested rooster was freed from its restraints, it dared not resist. Only then did Ji Yuan reach out and grab it, throwing it into the chicken coop.

In that instant, Ji Yuan realized that the red-crested rooster had become docile, and there seemed to be an additional layer of mysterious connection between them.

Not only that, all the green and yellow chickens in the backyard raised their heads, as if they had been threatened or intimidated, and dared not move.

Until the red-crested rooster proudly emerged from the coop and let out a long crow to the sky.

"Ooh ooh ooh!"

All the green and yellow chickens trembled and lay down on the ground.

Having witnessed the entire process, Ji Yuan was moved... The Beast King has appeared!

Among the many green and yellow chickens in the coop, this newly arrived spirit bird, a rooster, undoubtedly became the king of birds, or rather, the head of this flock of hens.

A rooster with thirty hens is truly blessed.

At the very moment the red-crested rooster crowed, the Wen family next door to Ji Yuan...

Zhao Yuechan was startled awake from her cultivation and looked at Wen Lin, who was equally curious, with astonishment.

"Brother Wen, is this... a red-crested chicken?"

"Um."

Wen Lin also turned to look at the neighbor's yard, a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "It seems our neighbors have quite a few secrets."

"Then we..."

"Let's try normal contact first; outsiders can't be trusted."

"it is good."

After the couple finished discussing it, they stopped paying attention to it.

Ji Yuan looked at the bright red comb of the red-crested rooster and knew that it was time to draw blood.

Taking blood from a rooster's comb might be a difficult task for others, but for Ji Yuan... he had a thought and immediately took control of the red-combed rooster.

Then I manipulated it, making it obediently walk over.

The black gold knife flashed like a black light, slicing through the red-crested rooster's comb.

After a while, Ji Yuan looked at the small bottle of rooster blood in his hand, which was radiating a strong yang energy, and was overjoyed.

This thing is a real treasure. Ji Yuan didn't plan to sell it. If he ever encounters any evil spirits or ghosts in the future, this thing could save his life.

Looking at the completely listless red-crested chicken, Ji Yuan also felt a little sorry.

The next blood draw won't be until at least ten days later.

If only I could get one bottle every day...

As the sun began to revolve, and Ji Yuan was about to collect the third bottle of rooster comb blood, the day finally arrived at December 3rd.

Thank you Fengyan Wuchong for the 3 monthly tickets, and thank you Zhexian Qitian and others for the 1 monthly ticket.
