7 Chapter 7
The sharp-nosed spirit pit that was re-locked in the cage by Song Ming also followed everyone to look at it, and it seemed that they couldn't figure it out anyway, they were obviously poisonous beasts that came together, why was they thrown out with a knot, and the broken bird could be held on their knees and stroked?
Everyone covered their ears, worried, held their breath for a long time, and found that the mocking bird had no signs of crying, so they reluctantly put their hearts at ease and instigated Song Ming to go over, lying that it was a spirit pet that flew into Xue Yanjing's courtyard and went to ask for it.
Song Ming was hesitating, and suddenly heard a "little junior sister", but it was Fang Yuan, the sixth disciple of Siming Peak, who came to find Xue Yan.
Everyone was shocked and hurriedly avoided in silence. The higher the cultivator's cultivation, the more deaf and clear-sighted he became, Fang Yuan's cultivation was higher than theirs, they were afraid of being discovered, they were not as lax as before, and even began to communicate with each other.
"Yo, what kind of bird is this? It's pretty good. Fang Yuan entered the courtyard and didn't know when he saw the taunting bird, but as a cook, he knew that most of the brightly colored and conspicuous things in nature were poisonous, so he looked around quite vigilantly.
Xue Yan shook his head in shock, saying that he didn't know either: "Suddenly appeared in my yard." β
She stroked the taunting bird, and her hands sank into the soft feathers of the bird: "It's so hot and fluffy, it's good for warming your hands, if you don't have an owner, I want to stay and raise it." β
"Be careful," Fang Yuan was about to be persuaded when he saw something crawling on the ground and looked at it fixedly, "Blood Jade Spider?" How can this thing be in your yard? β
Fang Yuan leaned over and carefully caught the spider, Xue Yan was shocked to go over and take a closer look, only to see that the spider's belly was red and transparent, like a fine blood jade, probably because of its name, "Poisonous?" β
"It's really poisonous, don't touch it yet, but this thing also has a benefit," Fang Yuan said with a smile, "After removing the poison glands, eating one raw is worth the medicinal effect of five good spirit pills." β
He took out a knife from the storage ring, carefully removed the spider's venom glands, and held it in the palm of his hand as if offering a treasure and handed it to Xue Yanjing, wanting to make up for his little junior sister, who seemed to be very lacking in spiritual power.
Xue Yan took a step back and politely declined his senior brother's kindness: "I'd better go and nibble on five Gathering Spirit Pills." β
ββ¦β¦ Okay," Fang Yuan was also reluctant to put away the Blood Jade Spider, looked at the senior sister who fed the big bird vegetable leaves, and reminded, "If you want to keep it, you have to go to the Imperial Beast Hall in the sect first and ask someone to take a look." β
"I understand."
"Be careful!"
Behind the big stone, the group was so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, but there was a turn for the better, it turned out that when the mocking bird saw Xue Yanjing and Fang Yuan chatting, he suddenly broke free from Xue Yanjing's hand, wanting to fight for a way out for himself.
But he didn't want Fang Yuan's eyes to be quick, so he fished the bird back from the air.
Xue Yan exclaimed: "Senior brother is very skilled. β
"Of course," Fang Yuan said proudly, "I have been following my father and mother to catch chickens since I was a child, and I have already practiced it." β
The dejected taunting bird suddenly straightened its neck, and looked like it wanted to peck him viciously.
Xue Yan looked down at the broken handful of colored tail feathers in his hand, and couldn't help sighing: "It turns out that this bird actually survives by breaking its tail?" β
Fang Yuan stood side by side with her, tilting their heads together to admire the taunting bird's bare ass, staring at the bird with shame and indignation.
Xue Yan shook his head in shock: "It seems that it has no intention of following me, since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to force it." β
Fang Yuan looked sideways: "Aren't you really not willing to raise it because it became bald and ugly?" β
Xue Yan diverted the topic in surprise: "By the way, senior brother, you came to look for me today, do you have something important?" β
Fang Yuan scratched his head: "I just received the news that the Ten Thousand Swords Secret Realm is scheduled to open on the fifteenth day of next month, Senior Sister asked me to tell you, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not." You need a sword, and the Ten Thousand Swords Secret Realm is also suitable for training, but after all, there are some dangers, if you don't want to...... It's nothing. Siming Peak has us for a day, and you for a day. β
Xue Yan was stunned: "Naturally, I want to go." β
Fang Yuan reminded again: "This time the secret realm is opened, and Shen Cangliu will also go." β
"I remember that he is not a sword cultivator." The young master of Pingsha Luoyanlou cultivates knife skills, and the weapon is a pair of scimitars.
"His new fiancΓ© learns the sword."
"I see," Xue Yan nodded in surprise, "it won't affect my decision." β
Fang Yuan had two more smiles in his eyes, and patted her shoulder: "Okay, Senior Sister always says that you are like Liu, but I don't think so." β
Xue Yan was about to speak, but he smiled again: "By the way, I plan to prepare some ingredients for us to eat, drink and have fun all the way, what do you like to eat, just say, you're welcome." β
What they said next, the group hiding behind the boulder had no intention of paying attention. Song Ming wanted to cry without tears, he stole out a total of three poisonous beasts, the sharp-nosed spirit pit lost its poisonous fangs, the blood jade spider lost its venom glands, and the mocking bird lost its tail feathers.
Seeing that the sixth senior brother seriously took out a pen and paper and began to memorize the menu, Xue Yan looked at him in shock, and no longer restrained the taunting bird, for fear that this bird would be so strong that it would perform a severed head on the spot to survive, it would be too terrifying.
Before Fang Yuan left, he turned his head to Xue Yan and exclaimed, "Oh, by the way, the third senior sister said that she can fly with you, so that you don't have to take a donkey out." I think she just dislikes the donkey I found! β
"Okay." Xue Yan sent his senior brother away with a shocked smile.
After Fang Yuan left, Song Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then stepped forward alone and knocked on Xue Yan's courtyard door, and explained his intentions.
"The spirit pet I raised accidentally flew into your yard, please return it to me." Song Ming shook the cage in his hand at Xue Yan in shock, he was afraid of startling the taunting bird, so he didn't dare to make a loud noise, they just specially flipped through the book again to confirm that the loss of the tail feathers obviously did not affect the bird's ability to hurt people.
"Three thousand medium-grade spirit stones." Xue Yan was shocked to open a ransom price.
"You...... You're blackmailing! Song Ming was furious, "Everyone is in the same door, how can there be a reason to pick up other people's spirit pets and ask for spirit stones?" β
"A bird, a poisonous-looking snake, and a blood jade spider happened to appear in my yard at the same time, and the person who lost them probably won't be able to deal with it," Xue Yan smiled slightly, making it clear that it was blackmail, "It just so happens that I am going to the Ten Thousand Swords Secret Realm, this is simply the travel fee sent to me by God." β
Song Ming was stunned, understanding that she had already seen the clue, but she still didn't want to spend this spirit stone: "Aren't you afraid that I will rob it?" β
"You look scared of the bird." Xue Yan looked at him with his arms folded, obviously seeing through his dare not move, and stepped forward to touch the colorful feathers of the bird again.
"Don't touch it again!" Song Ming was afraid that she would anger the birds, "Its call can kill people...... If I startle it, aren't you in danger? β
Song Ming cautiously approached the bird, not wanting to taunt the bird but moved his buttocks, glanced at him badly, and looked like he wouldn't come to ransom me if he didn't have any money.
ββ¦β¦β
Xue Yan glanced at the bird in surprise: "I can't see that you are so powerful, so why didn't you scream just now?" β
The taunting bird buried her head under her wings, not wanting to deal with her.
Song Ming thought that she had heard the stakes and should beg herself to take the bird away quickly, but she didn't want Xue Yan to be surprised and just smiled: "You are in the Yuan Infant Stage, and you should not have cultivated the sound insulation technique of your own enchantment, then it depends on whether you have the courage to deafen your ears." β
Song Ming found it difficult to understand: "Do you have it?" β
Xue Yanjing only felt that he was talking too much nonsense: "If you really don't want to pay for it, why don't you go and catch a parrot brother and come back and pretend to be it?" β
ββ¦β¦ Kunwu Mountain's words are those parrot brothers? β
"I see that those parrots are big, and if you dye them, it's actually about the same."
ββ¦β¦β
The taciturn mocking bird suddenly became a chatterbox, and its call could kill people...... Song Ming couldn't help but imagine that scene, and was very worried that the disciples of the Royal Beast Hall who were on duty that day would be scared out of the three souls on the spot, and then he would be beaten by his own brother the next day.
He sighed: "...... You just said three thousand medium-grade spirit stones? β
Xue Yan smiled in surprise.
"I don't have that many spirit stones with me."
"You can get together with the people in the back." Xue Yan thoughtfully proposed a solution.
ββ¦β¦β
After Song Ming returned to Dashi, he glanced at the guys who were as quiet as quails, and said angrily: "Okay, don't hide, people have already found out!" β
Everyone was stunned: "What should I do then?" Xue Yan was surprised to return the taunting bird to you? β
"Medium-grade spirit stones, three thousand mocking birds, five thousand blood jade spiders."
ββ¦β¦ It's so dark," the crowd sighed, "and isn't it a taunting bird that is even rarer?" Why is the Blood Jade Spider more expensive? β
"Because the spider was taken away by Senior Brother Fang, she wants to give him the spoils," Song Ming said angrily, "Is it time to ask this?!" β
Everyone could only reluctantly make up a spirit stone for him and ask him to redeem the bird, and they also complained in their hearts that this guy was unreliable, if he hadn't stolen such a dangerous taunting bird, this kind of thing would not have happened at all.
Song Ming collected enough spirit stones, and held his breath and handed the money bag to Xue Yanjing.
The birds flew into the cage with joy.
Xue Yan was surprised and satisfied with the money bag in her hand, although she was penniless when she returned to the sect, she could make a fortune by blackmailing her fellow sects.
Facing Song Ming's angry eyes, she smiled slightly: "What? Want to hit me? β
Song Ming carefully held the cage with mocking birds in both hands, and snorted coldly: "Ten Thousand Swords Secret Realm, right?" We'll see you then! β
Xue Yan looked at his back with a smile while holding the money bag, and didn't remind him that after leaving Kunwu Mountain, there were too many people who wanted to seek revenge against her, the "Demon Venerable Favorite Concubine", and he was afraid that he would not be on the list.
Of course, the third senior sister and the sixth senior brother also know this, but the sword cultivator must have a suitable sword, this Ten Thousand Swords Secret Realm is a rare opportunity, and following the sect team can also ensure a certain safety, they still hope that the senior sister can go on this trip.
Of course, it was up to Xue Yanjing to make her own choice, if she planned to sit in Kunwu for the rest of her life and use a wooden sword to spend the rest of her life, they would also do their best to protect her from harm.
After Song Ming left with a group of people, Xue Yan's frightened spirit donkey paced over and rubbed her leg worriedly.
Xue Yan patted its head in surprise: "When I go out this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to take you with me." β
When the donkey heard this, he became agitated, and very worriedly bit the corner of her coat and looked at her, as if he was afraid that something would happen to her outside, and told him that the gray-haired donkey had sent the black-haired man away.
