Chapter 121: Chapter 121: Cang Whale Dragon Sculpture
Li Quanqing covertly withdrew his prying gaze, feeling a lingering shock in his heart.
Half-demons, that is, the offspring of demons and humans, generally have a human form but possess some symbolic features of Demon Beasts.
Due to the great war between demons and humans, deep-seated blood feuds were formed between them.
Half-demons are not well-regarded by those of the Pure Blood Human Race, so most align themselves with various Demon Kings and Great Demons, infiltrating human territories to create chaos.
After all, the Demon Clan is highly diverse—shrimp, crab, tiger, leopard, jackal, and wolf—all sorts of oddly shaped creatures are accepted; not to mention half-demons, who are relatively normal.
But the Human Clan is different; they all have similar appearances and put great emphasis on pure bloodlines, hence they are extremely xenophobic.
"Why are the cultivators from the Situ Family mixing with several half-demons? Do their family elders know about this, or has the Situ Family already formed a secret alliance in order to break free from the Sword Sect’s control..."
Li Quanqing’s eyes darkened as he thought of the Mystic Turtle that guarded the Situ Family, Taiyuan.
This Spirit Turtle was a war pet left behind by a Golden Core True Master of the Situ Family a thousand years ago, having lived for over a millennium and attained the Great Perfection Realm in Foundation Establishment, it was the most powerful being in the Situ Family.
With the Blood Tokens and Blood Covenants left from those days, could the cultivators of the Situ Family still fully control this Foundation Establishment Great Demon on the verge of breakthrough?
"Quanfu, is that group residing in our Happy Dwelling?"
Li Quanqing asked.
His heart felt heavy, sensing that he may have stumbled upon one of the deepest secrets of the Situ Family.
"Not everyone is living in our single Cave Mansion; only those few..."
Li Quanfu turned around, whispering, and it turned out that it was all those half-demons: "Right, elder cousin, apart from them, I’ve also seen dozens of cultivators with them. They all have a rather shady aura and are wrapped in black robes all day long."
Cultivators have excellent memories, almost never forgetting anything they see.
On hearing this, Li Quanqing’s hand couldn’t help but tremble slightly as he suddenly realized something.
The Happy Dwelling has a constant stream of visitors, housing over a thousand Loose Cultivators; there are even two or three poor cultivators sharing a place, a mix of good and bad.
It’s indeed the perfect place to harbor filth and hide the dirty. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
No wonder that Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Situ Family took a fancy to his property, it turns out they wanted to provide a warm and safe hidden home for the half-demons.
It seems I really should ’thank’ them profusely (clenching teeth)!
"I can’t stay in this Whale Emperor Fang any longer..."
Li Quanqing was unsure what these half-demons were gathering here for, but he was certain it was not for anything good.
After purchasing the Spiritual Beast, escape immediately!
He made up his mind: "Quanfu, tell my junior sister to notify Immortal Shen Bingxin at the Heavenly Talisman Hall next door immediately. Tell her that there will be changes in the Workshop, and she needs to leave quickly."
After all, as neighbors, they had a good relationship, and she was somewhat ambiguously involved with the Supreme Elder; it was possible to pull her in for assistance.
"Ah? What could possibly happen to the Workshop?"
Li Quanfu sounded a bit confused: "Master, what about our properties here?"
Li Quanqing looked at him with frustration: "Now the whole Baoying Fang is ours, why are you still worried about these two buildings? Naturally, we leave them to our subordinates to manage!"
After speaking, he hurriedly made his way to the Sword Treasure Tower.
"What? When did Baoying Fang become ours?"
Although Li Quanfu’s mind was reeling from unprecedented shock, he knew the importance of handling urgent matters and quickly began to make all the necessary arrangements.
...
"Welcome senior, to Sword Treasure Tower!"
As Li Quanqing entered the resplendent pavilion, as usual, he was immediately surrounded by a group of young girls.
"Take me to the Spiritual Beast Zone!"
He was in a hurry and had no time to spare another glance; he gestured to one girl at random.
"Very well, senior. Please follow me~"
Upon reaching the Spiritual Beast Zone, Li Quanqing pointed directly at the Canghai Whale in the pool: "I want to touch it myself. If fate allows, I will buy it right away."
The maid was taken aback by such an odd request.
But seeing the young man’s Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivation, she still responded cheerfully: "At your command, senior. I will make the arrangements for you~"
The vast fishpond was bustling with life as water cascaded down in a waterfall, spraying mist all around, and suddenly emitted a sonorous red sound.
Interwoven lines of spirit light transformed into an array, successfully trapping all the Spiritual Beasts inside, preventing them from injuring any customers.
This Canghai Whale was more than twenty meters long, serenely suspended there, with a snow-white belly and blue and white fins drooping like sails, its Demon Energy concealed and its temperament very tranquil.
Li Quanqing stood on the whale’s back, broad as an island, its sea-blue skin rough and sturdy, lined with wave-like patterns, as if it could merge into the seawater at any moment.
[Whale Waves]Canghai Whale: "A deep longing, I wish to stir up great waves in the depths of the ocean once more, Let the storm come more fiercely!"
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Seventh Layer (89%)]
"Mo—"
The Canghai Whale submerged and floated in the pool water, turning over with difficulty, but suddenly emitted a low and melodious whale song, as if reminiscing about the happy times of its youth.
With a "puff" the whale opened its blowhole, shooting a thick jet of water from its back, splashing in all directions and soaring into the sky, catching everyone by surprise.
"Senior, look how lively this spirit whale is!" exclaimed the girl, drenched from head to toe, still maintaining an awkward but polite smile, showing great professionalism, not forgetting to pitch a sale at this moment.
Li Quanqing found this amusing and nodded slightly: "Then let’s buy it, and also take me to see that Dragon Flame Eagle, I’m equally interested in this Spiritual Beast."
The maid used her mana to dry her clothes, absolutely thrilled at heart.
Where on earth did this top-tier young rich cultivator come from, obviously a family with mines to be so generous with spending!
My extra Spirit Stones for this month are in the bag!
They left the fishpond and walked into the deepest part of the Spiritual Beast Zone, where Fire Spiritual Energy was slowly rising all around.
The smell of sulfur invaded the nostrils, and a man-made low volcano appeared in front of them, the air scorching hot.
The Dragon Flame Eagle stood on a Flame Ginkgo Tree at the crater edge, its body enshrouded in fire, proudly overlooking the two, its eyesight electrifying like lightning, majestic, indescribably formidable.
Its pupils were golden yellow, capable of swallowing fire and melting gold, its crimson feathers spread out, resembling the scales of a Flood Dragon, with lava-like firelight trickling through the gaps, an imposing aura presence.
"Senior, if you purchase these two Tower Guardian Spirit Beasts, I can decide to give you the Fire Spirit Mountain along with the Red Flame Parasol Tree as a gift!"
It was rare for someone to take an interest in these two Spiritual Beasts. An elder in the tower had already sent a message to the girl, trying to quickly secure a deal.
In fact, these two Demon Beasts were said to possess noble bloodlines, with a high chance of breaking through to Second Rank Foundation Establishment.
But that was just a bluff.
If they really had such potential, the Shuihua Sword Sect would have already taken them for their own disciples’ cultivation, not selling them to outsiders.
Li Quanqing nodded slightly, enveloped in Sky Blue Fire, step by step approaching the mouth of the volcano, not at all afraid of the scalding high temperatures of the lava.
After all, it was just an artificial volcano, gathering Fire Spiritual Energy from the spirit stones, lacking that grand heavenly power.
"Li—!"
The Dragon Flame Eagle, seeing a stranger approaching, suddenly let out a shrill cry, flames on its wings reaching skywards, shining so brightly it could pierce through gold and shatter rocks, surging into the clouds.
Li Quanqing opened his Multi-treasure Spirit Eyes, absorbing a strand of precious aura for cultivation, and observed the vigorous and abundant Dragon Flame energy within the body of the Spiritual Sculpture.
In terms of noble bloodline and potential, this Dragon Flame Eagle undoubtedly far surpassed the Canghai Whale.
"Quiet down!"
Li Quanqing spoke, activating his Glazed Jade Bone Body, his pupils becoming dazzingly golden, accompanied by a surge of vast and overwhelming pressure.
An air of superiority and pressure emanated from him.
His physical body, Magic Artifacts, and spirit all pressed down on the opponent, and in an instant, the proud and unyielding Dragon Flame Eagle, with a noble lineage, also calmed down and ceased to struggle.
Allowing him to stroke its feathers, cold and hard like metal, with two golden feathers on its forehead rising up high, like a pair of Dragon Horns proudly pointing upwards.
[My Heart is Like Fire]Dragon Flame Eagle: "The Dragon Flame that burns all, grant me the power to incinerate everything within. Rise from the flames, be reborn from the ashes, never dying, never fading!"
[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Eighth Level (39%)]
Well, this is actually a fiery and passionate spirit sculpture full of youthful angst!
Li Quanqing couldn’t help but glance sideways, convinced that the Golden Flame Tiger would certainly like this new companion.
After all, in the little tiger’s eyes, any creature with wings is considered part of its own kin.
Under the girl’s expectant gaze, Li Quanqing uttered the most extravagant statement:
"Buy them all, pack them up and take them all!"
