Chapter 221 I'll trade you a branch of Dragon Essence
Southern Xinjiang, Tiejia Village.
The crimson-feathered demon beast, as tall as three or four people, was struggling fiercely, with several talismans affixed to its body, emitting a faint orange light.
These talismans were connected by blue light bands, forming a huge net that tightly bound the crimson-feathered demon beast.
"Chirp—!"
The Crimson Feathered Beast seemed to sense the death of its master, and it raised its head towards the sky, letting out a shrill scream.
All things have a spirit, let alone a demon beast that possesses the essence of a phoenix.
Chu Luobai watched, his heart slightly moved.
The phoenix is a legendary creature that stands at the top of the demon beast race.
However, thousands of years ago, the Phoenix Clan, like the Dragon Clan, had already disappeared without a trace.
No one knows what happened to these two extremely powerful races that caused them to disappear in such a short time.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, could you please give me this demonic beast?"
Gu Lin is unaware of the Crimson Feather Beast's secret yet, but with his abilities, he will eventually discover it.
Chu Luobai had to get his hands on the Crimson Feather Beast before Gu Lin noticed.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, as a sword cultivator, is also interested in this demonic beast?"
Gu Lin raised an eyebrow, looking at Chu Luobai with some confusion, neither agreeing nor refusing.
"The fact that this beast could roar to the sky when its master died is enough to show its spirituality."
"I'd like to get a mount."
Chu Luobai responded with a faint smile, casually making up a reason that was passable.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Gu would be willing to part with it?"
"This Crimson Feathered Beast is rare; its feathers are excellent material for crafting certain talismans..."
Gu Lin hesitated, his brows furrowed, looking reluctant.
Chu Luobai understood immediately. Logically speaking, the Tie family's property should be divided equally between him and Gu Lin.
If Chu Luobai wants to take a live Crimson Feathered Beast away by himself, he should indeed share more resources.
"I also have some excellent materials for refining talismans. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Gu would be interested."
After pondering for a moment, Chu Luobai took out a branch of the Dragon Essence Tree that he had prepared for Chu Yi from his storage ring.
Originally, I planned to use this to exchange for some information, but I didn't expect Chu Yi to take the initiative to come to me.
Since Chu Luobai and Chu Yi had exchanged their respective interests, Chu Luobai didn't take out the tree branch.
I never thought it would come in handy now.
Gu Lin was initially curious about what good materials Chu Luobai, a sword cultivator, could produce, but his expression changed drastically the moment he opened the box.
A rich spiritual energy wafted over, and the spiritual energy on this small branch alone was far more concentrated than that of ordinary spiritual herbs.
"This is... the Mysterious Water Dragon Essence Tree?"
Gu Lin asked uncertainly, "This Xuan Shui Long Yuan Tree has disappeared from Qingzhou Realm for hundreds of years."
The last time he heard about the Xuan Shui Long Yuan Tree was decades ago, when one was discovered in a small secret realm in the Northern Desert.
Unfortunately, when the Xuan Shui Long Yuan Tree was discovered, it was already on the verge of death, and no spiritual fruit had been produced on it.
Gu Lin offered an extremely high price but still couldn't get a single leaf.
How did Chu Luobai manage to obtain such a well-preserved branch?
In an instant, Gu Lin's wariness of Chu Luobai increased even more.
"Fellow Daoist Gu has quite the discerning eye; this was obtained by chance."
Chu Luobai nodded with a smile and asked deliberately.
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Gu thinks that the branches of this Profound Water Dragon Essence Tree are worth exchanging for a Crimson Feather Demon Beast?"
If Gu Lin were to find out that the Crimson Feathered Beast possessed Phoenix Essence Blood, it would certainly not be worth it.
Unfortunately, Gu Lin hadn't realized it yet.
“Of course it’s worth it. On the contrary, Fellow Daoist Chu was too generous, which allowed me to gain an advantage.”
As Gu Lin spoke, his gaze never left the branches of the Xuan Shui Long Yuan Tree.
Clearly, he was very satisfied with this thing.
"It doesn't matter. It would be a waste for this thing to fall into my hands."
"Such good material deserves to be developed to its fullest potential by finding someone who can maximize its value."
Chu Luobai's tone was very sincere.
"On the contrary, this Crimson Feathered Beast is much better to me than a useless material."
"Such a dazzling demonic beast is most suitable as a mount for a dignified sword cultivator like myself."
"..."
Gu Lin remained silent. He subconsciously recalled the innate spirit beast he had seen at the Biyun Sect. Chu Luobai had mentioned that the spirit beast was called Yunyin.
That cloud-hidden being, being a primordial spirit beast, was far more eye-catching than this unknown crimson-feathered demon beast.
"Since Fellow Daoist Chu likes it, then I will not take what belongs to him."
Gu Lin put the box containing the Xuan Shui Long Yuan tree branch into his storage ring, and then reached out to retrieve the talisman binding the Crimson Feather Beast.
"Chirp—!"
The Crimson Feathered Beast let out a long cry and flapped its wings, trying to escape into the distance.
Chu Luobai lunged forward, and the moment his fingertips touched the Crimson Feather Beast, its massive body vanished into thin air.
"What kind of magic is this?"
Gu Lin originally wanted to see how Chu Luobai tamed the Crimson Feathered Beast.
Unexpectedly, Chu Luobai directly took it into his possession.
According to Gu Lin's understanding of the Beast Taming Sect, one must form a contract with a demon beast before one can bring a demon beast into the Beast Taming Space.
Obviously, in such a short time, it was impossible for Chu Luobai to form a contract with that Crimson Feathered Beast under Gu Lin's nose.
"A space that can hold such a large demonic beast... Chu Luobai, what kind of magic weapon do you have?"
Gu Lin couldn't help but murmur.
"These are just trivial skills, hardly worthy of serious consideration. Fellow Daoist Gu need not take them seriously."
Chu Luobai gave a perfunctory reply and turned to look in the direction of the back mountain of the Tie family.
"We didn't find anything related to the Holy Maiden of the Witch Clan in the Treasure Pavilion; it should be at the Iron Family headquarters."
"It's already in chaos inside, I think we need to hurry up and go look for it."
"That's true. If someone takes it away in the chaos, Chu Yi will surely tear me apart alive when he finds out."
Gu Lin nodded slightly in agreement.
Those members of the Tie family with cultivation have been deliberately eliminated by Chu Luobai and Gu Lin.
The remaining people, who had no cultivation, were terrified when they saw the two enter. They looked as if they had seen a ghost and stumbled and ran in another direction.
Gu Lin couldn't help but smile wryly.
"I'm a kind-hearted talisman cultivator, and this is the first time I've been treated like this. Will the Southern Border Region start treating me like some kind of evil cultivator?"
"I don't know about others, but at least the Tie family already sees you and me as ruthless demonic cultivators."
Chu Luobai spoke sarcastically, and before she had taken more than a few steps, she ran into Xun Nan, who had just come out of the back mountain.
