Chapter 620: Bingluan's Oath
"This act is because of an eternal contract "Bingluan's Oath" reached between Hansong Ancestor and the Nangong family back then!"
"What is the "Bingluan Oath"?" Changsun Rong couldn't help asking.
"This oath is related to 'Xiao Jing'!" Han Luan continued, and the "Xiao Jing" in Han Luan's mouth was her car, the seventh-order spirit bird "Han Yu Bingluan".
"How can it still have anything to do with Jing Niang?" Eldest Sun Rong was confused at the moment.
"Hansong Ancestor is an orthodox beast cultivator of spiritual and life dual cultivation, and the companion spirit beast is the same as "Xiaojing", the same is a cold jade Bingluan, when the ancestor left the Nangong family, he took this "cold jade Bingluan", and the price was that the word "cold" retreated from the position of patriarch. ”
Han Luan then elaborated on the secrets of the year, Nangong Qiu betrayed the family, and the Nangong family naturally would not let him take away a "Hanyu Bingluan".
However, once the orthodox beast cultivator of the dual cultivation of spiritual life signs the "companion contract", the consequences of breaking the contract will be extremely serious, not only will the vitality of both the monk and the spirit beast be greatly damaged, and the cultivation will decline, but also reduce their respective longevity.
Nangong Qiu's father, Nangong Shu, who is also the head of the Nangong family at that time, was extremely disappointed with what Nangong Qiu did, but he still couldn't bear to see Nangong Qiu fall into the fate of the companion spirit beast being forcibly stripped away, and his life was ruined.
Nangong Shu privately found the head of the family's "Xuan" and "Ling" two lines to intercede for Nangong Qiu, and finally kept Nangong Qiu at the cost of giving up the position of patriarch, and the glory of the "Han" character for ten consecutive generations of patriarchs was interrupted in the hands of Nangong Shu.
"This..."Eldest Sun Rong was speechless for a while, presumably Han Song Ancestor didn't expect this.
After the death of the "grandmother" Xifeng "Immortal", the ancestor of Hansong returned to the "Winter Flame Island" in his later years to bear the guilt and asked to return to the Nangong family, but was rejected by the contemporary patriarch of the Nangong family at that time, "Ling Yiluanjun", on the grounds that Nangong Qiu corrupted the door and could not open this ring. Han Luan said with a sigh.
In fact, it is easy to see that the "Ling Yi Luanjun" who came out of the line of the word "Ling" finally replaced the word "cold" and became the patriarch.
And Nangong Qiu is a stain on the word "cold" in the hearts of the clansmen, how can "Ling Yi Luanjun" let a stain be easily eliminated.
And Nangong Qiu had already cultivated the Spirit Infant Dao Fruit at that time, and he had built a good force in the distant Yunzhou, and he was already the ancestor of a sect.
"Although the ancestor of Hansong was not re-accepted by the Nangong family, he reached a secret agreement with the Nangong family, and the Nangong family needed to rent a "Hanyu Bingluan" from this sect every four thousand years. Han Luan continued.
"Why is this?" Eldest Sun Rong was shocked for a moment, you must know that the bloodline of the "Hanyu Bingluan" is noble, it is a rare spirit bird of the seventh order, it is not a cabbage, it is borrowed at will, and the Nangong family is a famous family in ancient times, and its strength far exceeds that of the sect, how can it agree to this kind of agreement.
"This is going to talk about Elder Qingxue's Muyun family, the Muyun clan is good at raising Xuanyuan Ice Birds, you should know!"
Han Luan did not answer directly, but mentioned the second family of Lingbing Palace, except for the "Hanling Lingnan Palace", the Muyun family, the second elder of Lingbing Palace, Qingxue, and the fifth elder Jingsong, all of whom came out of the Frozen Lake Muyun family.
"There are more than 60 "Xuanyuan Ice Birds" in the Qianwu Lake of the Muyun clan, and there is a "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix" under the seat of Elder Qingxue, who often flies with Jing Niang in Tianxue Mountain, and these Luo'er naturally know. Eldest Sun Rong nodded back.
"When this sect was not established, the Muyun clan was famous for raising all kinds of spirit birds, and was good friends with the ancestors, and the most precious thing in the Qianwu Lake where their family was stationed was more than ten "Xuanyuan Ice Birds". ”
"After the establishment of this sect, the Muyun clan joined this sect, and they received a lot of resources from the sect, and the number of "Xuanyuan Ice Birds" in the lake increased steadily, which is what it is today. ”
"The reason why the ancestor vigorously supported the Muyun family was because the sixth-order spirit bird "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" and "Hanyu Bingluan" belonged to the same Luan Bird, and was the descendant of the legendary divine bird "Qingluan", although the bloodline of the "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" was far inferior to the upper "Hanyu Bingluan", the power of the bloodline in the body was weak. ”
However, the "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" has a very small chance of breaking through to the seventh-order "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix", the Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix is also the king of spirit birds, and the blood of the Luan Bird in the body is almost the same as that of the "Cold Jade Ice Bird", and the ancestor has invested a lot of resources in the Muyun family through the sect, just to advance to a Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix. ”
At the same time, it is verified that the grandmother "Ji Feng" got an article from the inheritance of the banshee clan, about whether the ancient blood melting secret array that increases the advance probability of the "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" really has a magical effect as stated in the records. Han Luan slowly recounted another secret of the sect.
Grandmother "Xi Feng", as the holy daughter of the Dark Banshee Clan, has part of the inheritance of the Banshee Clan in her hands, but the inheritance of the Banshee Clan has long been suppressed by the righteous monks of the Human Race, and it has been seriously damaged, not to mention that the "Xi Feng" is only a small part in her hands.
In fact, this small part of the incomplete inheritance is too fragmentary, and most of the secret spells, spells, etc. have a head and no tail, but among the others, there is a special Ancient Blood Melting Secret Array, which is quite complete.
The principle is to lay down a special blood-melting secret array, use the blood of a hundred beasts as a guide, and integrate it into the main beast in the heart of the array, so as to forcibly improve the power of the bloodline of this beast.
This blood-melting secret array is also accompanied by a detailed example, and the spirit beast in the detailed example happens to be the "Xuanyuan Ice Bird", which records in detail the blood array of the required hundred beasts, corresponding to the names and detailed characteristics of the hundred spirit birds.
After careful verification, Nangong Qiu found that although these hundred spirit birds were spirit beast species in ancient times, most of them could still be found in today's Eastern Yuan Realm, and many of them were common spirit birds, such as fourth-order giant claw eagles, fourth-order flame sparrows, and so on.
There are also some names that are different, but they refer to the same species, such as the above recorded a kind of silver-white, urgent as a flash of eagle spirit birds, in ancient times named "flash eagle", after several research, Nangong Qiu read a large number of ancient books, in fact, it refers to the "silver electric eagle", but now the name of the cultivation world is different.
However, after verifying them one by one, there are still five of the hundred kinds of spirit birds mentioned in this fragment, which are unheard of in today's Eastern Yuan Cultivation Realm, either these five kinds of spirit birds are extinct in the Eastern Yuan Realm, or they are not in this realm.
Nangong Qiu did not lose heart, but according to the special records of these five spirit birds in the fragment, in line with the morality of the same species and the same origin and the five elements are one, he looked for a suitable replacement species in the Eastern Yuan Realm.
For example, a fifth-order spirit bird called "Double-headed Ice Bird" mentioned in the fragment above, this bird has gorgeous feathers and two heads that can spray cold currents, Nangong Qiu rummaged through ancient books, and there was no record of this kind of spirit bird in the Eastern Yuan Realm.
Nangong Qiu found the fifth-order "Three-color Ice Crow", the fifth-order "Sea Cloud Juan", and the fifth-order "Ice Field Falcon" to try to replace this spirit bird.
After repeated experiments, Nangong Qiu found that the substitution effect of the "three-color ice crow" was the best, and in this way, after Nangong Qiu condensed the baby, he spent thousands of years traveling to all corners of the Eastern Metaverse, looking for various existing spirit birds, to try to replace the unknown spirit birds recorded in the five fragments.
After returning to Yunzhou, he retreated for more than 2,000 years, and devoted himself to the study of the ancient blood-melting secret array beside the Thousand Fog Lake, with the "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" as the main beast, and kept trying.
In the end, a "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" successfully improved the power of the bloodline in Nangong Qiu's improved Blood Melting Secret Array, and after carefully cultivating it for many years, it advanced to the seventh-order "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix" in one fell swoop.
When Hansong Ancestor went to the "Winter Flame Island", he brought this "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix" with him, and dedicated this "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix" to the Nangong family. Han Luan finished his elaboration and finally said.
"It turns out that this is the case, after the ancestor offered the "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix", the Nangong family signed a contract with the ancestor. As soon as Eldest Sun Rong finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, the Hanshui Nangong family was an orthodox beast cultivator, and it was famous in the Eastern Yuan Realm for its Luan Blood Dao system.
The family's hereditary "Luan Blood Dao Body", ranked 33rd on the innate 100 body list, the clansmen have Bingluan spirit blood and blood flowing in their bodies, and Hanyuan Bingluan and other high-level birds and spirit beasts, they are born with a strong affinity.
Even the people of the Nangong clan who have not awakened the Luan Blood Dao Body have more or less traces of Bingluan Spirit Blood flowing in their bodies, and they are born birds and beast cultivators.
The clan has raised the "Hanyuan Bingluan" group for generations, and among them there is a tenth-order spirit bird "Ice Storm Luan King" equivalent to the spirit infancy, and a mere "Xuanyuan Bing Phoenix" is not at all important to the Nangong family.
How could he make a contract with Hansong Ancestor to lease a "Cold Jade Bingluan" to the Lingbing Palace every four thousand years, such an unreasonable and ridiculous contract.
"Of course it's not that simple!" Han Luan saw through the doubts in Eldest Sun Rong's heart, and then said: "What really made the Nangong family agree to this contract was that the Han Song Ancestor dedicated the improved Blood Melting Secret Array to the Nangong family. ”
In fact, after the improvement of this Ancient Blood Melting Secret Array, it does have an effect, but it also has great drawbacks.
First, the various spiritual materials needed to set up the array are all rare things, and it is not easy to prepare hundreds of spirit bird essence blood at the same time, because there are more than a dozen spirit birds among them, which are extremely rare.
In a nutshell, it not only consumes a lot of spirit stones, but also consumes a lot of time.
Second, even if everything is ready, the secret array is not necessarily successful, and the success rate of the "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" bloodline enhancement in the array is only about one percent.
And even if this "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" successfully improved the power of the bloodline in its body, it may not be able to survive the thunder tribulation smoothly and advance to the seventh-order "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix".
In short, even if you want to use this blood-melting secret array, it is difficult to cultivate a stable "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix" group, such as the Binghu Muyun family.
Even with the help of the Melting Blood Secret Array, it only increased the number and bloodline power of the "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" group in the Thousand Fog Lake, and occasionally it was lucky to advance one or two "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix".
This shows the many drawbacks of this blood-melting secret array, but even so, for the Nangong family, this blood-melting secret array is also of great significance, if it weren't for the fact that the Nangong family has been mastered by the "Ling" lineage, with this blood-melting secret array, Nangong Qiu would be able to return to the family and restore his reputation in the clan.
Although the Hanshui Nangong family is famous in the Eastern Yuan Realm for its Luan bloodline lineage, and there is the only "Hanyuan Bingluan" group in the Eastern Yuan Realm, the number of the "Hanyuan Bingluan" group has been difficult to maintain at about thirty, and the noble bloodline of the "Hanyuan Bingluan" has become the only confinement that restricts the growth of the "Hanyuan Bingluan" group.
For example, it takes a thousand years from young birds to adults, and adult females will enter estrus every thousand years, and male and female mates can give birth to one or two eggs.
After 3,000 years of life, the female will not enter estrus again, which means that the female bird only has two or three opportunities to mate in her life.
It stands to reason that under the care of the Nangong family, the number of the "Hanyuan Bingluan" group will definitely grow steadily, but the "Hanyuan Bingluan" is only such a group in the Eastern Yuan Realm.
Inbreeding offspring within the same population of any species will result in a large number of offspring being congenitally mutilated or dying.
Therefore, most of the eggs born by the Nangong family's "Hanyuan Bingluan" group are waste eggs, and they can't hatch young birds at all, and even if they hatch young birds, many of them are congenitally disabled, and the power of the blood veins in the body is extremely weak, and they can't become a climate.
Only a small number of hatchlings are healthy and strong Bingluan youngsters, which not only restricts the enhancement of the number of the "Hanyuan Bingluan" group, but also gradually weakens the overall bloodline strength of the "Hanyuan Bingluan" group, which has always been a problem that has plagued the Nangong family for generations.
For this reason, the Nangong family has thought of many ways, one is to search for other high-level spirit birds in the Eastern Metaverse, but it is a pity that there are almost no spirit birds with strong bloodlines like the "Cold Yuan Bingluan" in the Eastern Metaverse, even if some low-level spirit birds occasionally advance to the Jindan stage, they are not suitable for mating with the "Cold Yuan Bingluan".
The second is to take the initiative to cultivate some second-order spirit birds suitable for mating in the Luanniao lineage to help them advance to the Jindan stage and add new bloodlines to the "Hanyuan Bingluan" group.
Among these Luan Bird first-order spirit birds, the most suitable is the "Xuanyuan Ice Bird", once advanced to the "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix", the power of its bloodline and the "Cold Yuan Bingluan" can be said to be in the same vein, which is the perfect choice.
It's a pity that the grade of the "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" is still too low, and the power of the bloodline in the body is too weak, so the chance of naturally advancing to become a "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix" is extremely low.
Sometimes in order to add new bloodlines to the "Hanyuan Bingluan" group, the Nangong family had to sacrifice the outstanding clansmen with the "Luan Blood Dao Body", and in the way of spiritual and life double cultivation, they contracted a "Xuanyuan Ice Bird" from a young age, and used their own bloodline to forcibly pull the companion spirit beast to advance to the "Xuanyuan Ice Phoenix".
You must know that a person from the Nangong clan who has awakened the "Luan Blood Dao Body", if he has contracted a "Hanyuan Bingluan" since he was a child, and cultivates the Nangong family's secret Heavenly Grade Beast Cultivation Method "Luan Blood Combination Dao Sutra", there is a chance of up to fifty percent, and if he changes the contract to a "Xuanyuan Ice Bird", he can only stop at the Jindan stage for the rest of his life.
And this blood-melting secret array sent by Nangong Qiu, although it has great disadvantages and requires a lot of manpower and material resources, but compared to sacrificing a clansman who finally awakened the "Luan Blood Dao Body", what are these worth?
Therefore, the Nangong family signed a permanent contract with the Nangong gang.
The specific content is as follows: Every four thousand years, the Nangong family will unconditionally lease a young "Hanyuan Bingluan" from the Lingbing Palace, but the Lingbing Palace cannot have two "Hanyuan Bingluan" at the same time.
If the last leased "Hanyuan Bingluan" has not been completed, you need to return it to "Winter Flame Island" and get back a young "Hanyuan Bingluan".
If the young "Hanyuan Bingluan" received back is not cultivated properly in the Lingbing Palace and dies early, the four-thousand-year period has not yet arrived, and the Nangong family does not need to add to the Lingbing Palace until the end of the four-thousand-year period.
In addition, the loaned "Hanyuan Bingluan", if all the offspring are bred, will also be owned by the Nangong family.
"Master, is this trip here to make an appointment, to return Jing Niang to the "Winter Flame Island"?" After hearing this secret news, Changsun Rong was already dumbfounded, it turned out that there was such an agreement between the sect and the Nangong family, thinking of the Shouyuan of Shizun's mount "Jing Niang" for nearly four thousand years, Changsun Rong immediately woke up and asked.
"That's right! Master Zun insisted on bringing you here on this trip, for this reason, after returning "Xiaojing", the Nangong family will hand over a young "Hanyuan Bingluan" according to the contract, Luo'er! This "Hanyuan Bingluan" will be entrusted to you as a teacher, you need to cultivate it well, "Hanyuan Bingluan" has a noble bloodline, and it will become a great help for you in the future. Han Luan nodded, looked out the window and said.
