Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Vine Wood Ape
"Sword Treasure Tower..."
On the busiest street of the workshop now, Li Quanqing, leading a tiger and a leopard, arrived at the most conspicuous core area.
Hundreds of cultivators flowed like a weaving crowd, and a large pavilion towered in front of them, the eaves high and turned up, and various colors of spiritual light twinkling non-stop, obviously protected by an extremely powerful array.
"Is this a shop opened by Shuihua Sword Sect themselves?"
Li Quanqing scrutinized with his gaze, looking at the conspicuous sign on the pavilion, and immediately guessed.
"Brother Li is right, this shop indeed belongs to the Sword Sect, and they also sell various Spiritual Beasts. Although the prices are steep, all are fine wares."
Shen Bingxin explained beside him.
Their Shen Family depends on the Golden Core Sect, the Yanyue Sect, so they were not very fearful of the Shuihua Sword Sect.
Although the Yanyue Sect only recruits female disciples, it has two Golden Core elders, which is much stronger than the Sword Sect.
"Let’s go inside!"
Li Quanqing, leading the two big cats, took the lead and walked into the Sword Treasure Tower.
Walking into this ancient-flavored pavilion, the sight immediately opened up.
The entire treasure tower’s interior was hollowed out, with no stairs whatsoever but replaced by various floating structures forming levels of different areas.
Colorful spiritual lights fluttered overhead, shining brightly, illuminating every corner.
Truly befitting the property of a Golden Core Sect, their actions are indeed extraordinary!
"Welcome all fellow cultivators to the Sword Treasure Tower!"
Two rows of watery-eyed girls bowed in unison, each delicate and slim, with an aura of immortality, all are Qi Refinement level female cultivators. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝘣.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Although they were individually unique like plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum, their vestment robes were excessively short, revealing snowy smooth, round legs like jade.
"My name is Lv Zhu, may I ask what the elder wishes to purchase?"
A female cultivator with a jadeite bead hairpin stepped forward, her apricot eyes watery as if they could speak, her voice gentle like water.
Although Li Quanqing looked very young, the aura about him was indeed the solid Qi Refining Eighth Level, rightfully an old senior in the Cultivation World.
"I’d like to buy a few spirit pets, do you have any recommendations?"
With an unchanged smile, Lv Zhu said, "Sword Treasure Tower has everything you could think of. Even spirit beasts unique to the continent are not uncommon. Let me take you to see some."
The girl brought a disc-shaped magic artifact, deliberately squatting down to place it at Li Quanqing’s feet, revealing her ample and beautiful curves.
Li Quanqing stored the two big cats in his Spiritual Pet Bag and stood on the disc. As the artifact pattern lit up, his body slowly rose into the air.
Clusters of spirit light bloomed, forming a protective barrier, not only to block strong winds but also to prevent customers from falling off the disc.
Lv Zhu, riding a similar specification flying artifact, smiling brightly, led the way ahead.
Li Quanqing wandered through the tower, everywhere bustling.
Spirit Pills, Magic Artifacts, Talisman Formations, Cultivation Techniques and Mounts each formed distinct layers, very clear and straightforward.
He even saw a hanging waterfall, with water cascading down like a silver-white Flood Dragon circling there.
Noticing his gaze, Lv Zhu explained with a smile, "That is the area where Water Element Spiritual Beasts are bred. There are even rare breeds transported from the outer sea, rumored to be descendants of the ancient East Sea Demon Clan. Would senior like to take a look?"
Li Quanqing naturally consented.
Whoosh!
The waterfall cascaded down, like a white sash hung in mid-air, eventually pouring entirely into a vast pool, splashing everywhere.
The pool was quite large, nearly spanning several acres, appearing as a transparent light blue, thus allowing a clear view of the underwater scenery.
The maids introduced each patiently, truly broadening Li Quanqing’s horizons.
A pink dolphin demon exhaled bubbles, a giant crocodile adorned with White Bone Armor, and herds of Sea Dragon Horses covered in water-blue scales.
Li Quanqing opened his Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes to observe the Demon Energy on these demon beasts, those noble bloodlines often radiated dazzling treasured light.
"Is that a... Canghai Whale?"
Li Quanqing suddenly noticed a clump of the most dazzling radiance, like undulating waves of blue and gold, with a brilliant luster.
He saw a spiritual whale over twenty meters long, its ocean-blue back broad like a deck, its belly hanging with two cloud sail-like, huge fins, its blue-gold eyes deep and unflustered, quietly suspended in the water.
This type of Demon Beast could be said to belong to the top-tier species in the East Sea Demon Clan, with adults reaching the stage of Qi Refining Perfection, naturally situated at the top of the food chain.
Moreover, Canghai Whales often move in groups, and every clan’s Whale King has a high chance of breaking through to a Second-stage Foundation Establishment Demon Beast.
Such a massive body, almost like that of a Spirit Island, contained Demon Energy within that was vast as rivers, extremely terrifying.
"This is not just an ordinary Canghai Whale, but a direct descendant of the Canghai Whale King, of noble blood, with a high chance of advancing to Foundation Establishment, hence the hefty price."
The young girl Lv Zhu said with a bright and pleasant smile, revealing a number astronomical for a Qi Refining cultivator.
Li Quanqing immediately gave up.
Undiscouraged, Lv Zhu introduced another creature, a Demon Beast with ancient bloodline, the "Blood Cast Octopus," its tentacles adorned with dark red patterns like peculiar Demon Eyes, staring too long could make one’s blood surge.
Li Quanqing felt that this octopus was too ugly to consider raising.
Looking around, aside from the Canghai Whale, there wasn’t much else that satisfied him.
Having no other choice, Lv Zhu led them to the area with land-based Demon Beasts.
"Giggle-dah!"
As soon as he stepped into this area, Li Quanqing heard an extremely loud crowing, echoing far and wide, making one feel revitalized.
"Sorry for disturbing the guests." The girl’s face immediately showed a helpless yet apologetic smile.
Li Quanqing curiously looked over, instantly seeing a flock of colorful majestic roosters, their tail feathers spreading out like a fan.
Mighty and imposing.
"These are Five-colored Spirit Chickens, at the early stage of Qi Refinement, not strong in combat, but rumored to have the ancient bloodline of Tai Ancient Phoenix."
Lv Zhu explained, and then added, "Their eggs are delicious and nutritious, making them quite popular amongst cultivators, hence why we’ve raised a few here, which keep calling out daily."
"Quite interesting."
Li Quanqing spoke, feeling it wouldn’t be too bad to raise a few of these five-colored chickens, their eggs could enrich the diet of his spirit pets.
Marked it down.
The group moved further inside. This area was also quite extensive, simulating various terrains like rainforests, hills, deserts, ice plains, all treating the Spiritual Beasts exceptionally well.
It could be said that it was much more thoughtful than those ordinary shops.
"Why is there also a smell of alcoholic fragrance?"
Li Quanfu shrugged his nose, suddenly smelling a sweet, syrup-like fragrance, more like fruit juice.
Li Quanqing also smelled it now, looking towards a lush dense forest not far away.
Protected by an Array, the moist soil was blooming with hundreds of flowers, and the vegetation was thriving.
"Chirp chirp!"
The rainforest shook, and from the rustling branches suddenly emerged a small ape with golden-brown fur, its pupil color a vibrant green, wearing a flower crown on its head.
"Chirp!"
The little monkey stood on a tree branch, curiously sizing up the people, scratching its ears and cheeks, appearing lively and active.
It hadn’t finished looking when a strong hand suddenly descended from the sky, lifting it up, and taking it into the deeper parts of the rainforest.
That was an adult ape, about one meter twenty-three in height, robustly furred, with long arms, and even wearing rudimentary armor made of vines and leaves.
The Spirit Ape glanced at the cultivators outside, its gaze indifferent, dragging the little monkey into the depths of the rainforest, disappearing from sight.
"What kind of Demon Beast is this, and it even brews Monkey Wine?"
Li Quanqing immediately became quite interested.
"This is a Vine Wood Ape, not only fond of brewing but also proficient in nurturing a variety of Spirit Plants and Spiritual Medicines, gentle in nature, highly intelligent, it just needs to grow in a broad forested area."
