Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Chapter 28 Salted Fish and Model Workers

Iron Feather Eagle is skilled in metal and wind magic. In its early childhood, it can comprehend spells such as Black Wind Slash and Wind Blade within three years. After the age of ten, it enters maturity and can basically reach the second level if it devotes all its efforts to cultivating its realm.

If you're lucky, the Iron Feather Eagle can even evolve into the Iron Eagle King or the Golden-Winged Eagle, making it a match for even Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Therefore, the cubs of this demonic beast are often priced starting at a hundred low-grade spirit stones.

It has an extremely high cost-performance ratio among many first-tier demonic beasts, and its racial potential is even stronger than that of the Crimson Serpent. As the female cultivator in the blue dress said, if it weren't for the defect in its bloodline, it would be impossible for it to be priced at eighty-eight!

Yu Changsheng was somewhat tempted.

As for the bloodline defect mentioned by the other party, it is fatal to other beast tamers, since no one wants to buy an Iron Feathered Eagle that can't even use the simplest talent spell.

But for him, this bloodline defect was nothing. With the system for transforming spirit beasts, he could make up for it by spending some essence, and even make its bloodline as rich as possible, turning it into a golden-winged eagle!

His criteria for choosing the second beast was very simple: comprehension!

This is an attribute recognized by the system, and it is also an important indicator of how far a monster can grow in the future. Essence cannot be improved!

Therefore, comprehension is very important. He doesn't want to raise a second-tier demon beast; what he wants more is a beast tamer that can reach the third or fourth tier in the future!

This iron-feathered eagle's comprehension was neither high nor low, only in its early forties.

It perfectly matched Yu Changsheng's needs.

Beside him, the female cultivator in the blue dress seemed to have seen through Yu Changsheng's thoughts, and immediately put on a smile as she stepped forward and spoke.

"Master Luo, although this Iron-Feathered Eagle has some flaws, it is quite suitable as a mount. Now at the fourth level of the first rank, its flight speed is no less than that of other birds of prey, and it can travel up to eight hundred li in a day!"

"If I could break through to the late stage of the first tier, traveling 1,500 to 2,000 miles a day would be no problem!"

"If you're at the second tier, that's incredible! Even a sword cultivator's flying sword can't catch you!"

The female cultivator in the blue dress smiled broadly, eager to get rid of the iron-feathered eagle as soon as possible and recoup some of her costs.

Late-stage Tier 1? Tier 2? That's all utter nonsense!

She had mentioned before that this Iron Feathered Eagle had a flawed bloodline, resulting in slow cultivation speed. Even after three years of raising it, it had failed to break through a minor realm. But that didn't stop her from praising it first.

It seems unsuitable as an offensive pet, but it's quite excellent as a mount.

Yu Changsheng sized up the Iron Feather Eagle.

Upon seeing a cultivator standing before it, the other party turned its head and quieted down, then plopped down in the iron cage, spreading its wings and its eyes gleaming.

It displays its finest feathers, like a fox spirit that has taken off its clothes.

I'm hoping to be noticed!

Yu Changsheng couldn't stand the Iron Feathered Eagle's gaze, so he smiled and took a step back.

The Ironfeathered Eagle folded its wings, lowered its head, and looked somewhat disappointed.

But the next second, it lifted up again.

"This Iron Feathered Eagle is not bad, but the price is probably a bit high. It's a monster with no future, so I don't think many beast tamers will buy it. At most, it will be sold as meat."

"This Iron-feathered Eagle is only five years old and will be five years away from maturity. If you want to use it as material, you will have to raise it for another five years, which will probably cost even more."

Yu Changsheng said to the female cultivator in the blue dress beside him.

Eighty-eight low-grade spirit stones is already very cheap, but now the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion is begging him for it. Only a fool would try to get a bargain. He should try to get as much of a discount as possible!

Every spirit stone he possesses was hard-earned!

The female cultivator in the blue dress smiled bitterly and said, "Immortal Master Luo, this is already our lowest price. As you know, the Iron Feather Eagle lives deep in the Cloud Mist Mountains, under the cliffs. It is extremely difficult to catch one. Even if a Foundation Establishment cultivator takes action, they are easily seriously injured by its parents."

"And we raised them for three years."

Faced with her endless chatter, Yu Changsheng remained unmoved and turned to leave.

"Then I'll go check out the other beast towers."

The female cultivator in the blue dress suddenly paused, then hurriedly called out, "Wait, Immortal Luo, eighty low-grade spirit stones—this is our greatest sincerity!"

After thinking about it, Yu Changsheng realized it was unlikely they would lower the price again, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "Then let's go with this price. Please also prepare some of its favorite foods for me."

The female cultivator in the blue dress immediately beamed and said, "Immortal Luo is so generous. This is our duty. Quickly prepare a month's worth of black pork for Immortal Luo."

She hurriedly summoned the staff and got to work.

Before long, Yu Changsheng finished paying the spirit stones and also had a copy of "Notes on Cultivating Iron Feather Eagles" in his hand.

"Immortal Luo, if you need spirit pets again next time, you can come to us again!"

The female cultivator in the blue dress waved goodbye to Yu Changsheng, her wide smile suggesting she might have received a commission in spirit stones.

Back in the cabin.

With a calm expression, Yu Changsheng summoned the Iron Feather Eagle from his spirit beast pouch.

The iron-feathered eagle was very docile at the moment, just like the personality written on the sign, and it tucked its head into the iron cage.

The eyes that were secretly observing Yu Changsheng were filled with unease.

He was afraid of disappointing the monk who had bought him.

They fear that if they don't perform well after being contracted, they will be abandoned.

I'm afraid of the unknown fate that awaits me!

In response, Yu Changsheng gave a gentle smile, opened the iron cage, touched the other's head with his palm, and said softly.

"Don't be afraid, follow me, and from now on you will soar through the heavens. I will train you to be as mighty as the Golden-Winged Roc!"

It did not know what kind of monster the Golden-Winged Roc was.

But it could sense the sincerity emanating from the palm, so it opened its heart and let out a cry.

"Ugh!"

The contract process went smoothly, and Yu Changsheng gained a new companion within his inner world.

The Crimson Serpent King was lazily lying in the inner scene when it saw the Iron Feathered Eagle appear, and it was so startled that it immediately raised its head.

Snakes' natural enemies are eagles, and eagles are even more ferocious than eagles.

Although the mutual restraint attribute between monsters is weaker, the Crimson Serpent King will still subconsciously show hostility when it sees its own race's natural enemy!

"Hiss!"

"Ugh!"

The Iron-feathered Eagle flapped its wings, not understanding why its older brother was so excited.

Fortunately, the Crimson Serpent King was two levels higher in cultivation. Once it realized that the serpent was its master's newly contracted beast, it immediately put away its hostility, but at the same time, it felt a little uncomfortable.

It's only been three months, and the owner already has a new pet!

Is it because I'm too lazy? Is that why my master wants to raise this silly eagle?

But compared to before, it has become much more diligent. The time it spends cultivating each day has increased from one hour to four hours, which is four times the previous amount!

However, it lay in the inner scene, watching the Iron Feathered Eagle begin its cultivation.

One hour, three hours, five hours, eight hours!

Wait! Don't you sleep or rest?

The Crimson Serpent King looked up in surprise, feeling a strong sense of crisis. He decided to add another half hour to his cultivation time from now on—no, an hour!
