Volume 1: Forsaken Land Chapter 28: The Spirit Crane

The animal park, where the Qinglingmen raises spirit animals, is located in the back mountain of the halfway of Tongtian Peak, covering a wide area.

There are not many spirit beasts, only five kinds, divided into five courtyards, in addition to one inner disciple in each courtyard, two outer disciples can also be recruited. It's just that the spirit beast is different from the ordinary domestic livestock in the world, not only to wash the spirit beast every day, allocate food, but also to take the spirit beast out of the stocking circle every once in a while, just want to feed hundreds of spirit beasts, it is extremely difficult, not to mention some other processing feces, sprinkling and cleaning, etc., there is naturally no problem with raising it well, but if the spirit animal has three long and two short, it will definitely be held accountable from above.

Under normal circumstances, regardless of the outer disciples or the inner disciples, few people choose this kind of thankless chores, therefore, here in the animal park, there is a shortage of people all the year round, if it is not for the secret and the reason why he has to come here, Kong Laosan will not ask for hardship if he says anything.

In the past few days, Kong Laosan has figured out the situation here, and along the way, this place is really as he imagined, extremely deserted, and there is no half of a figure.

It took nearly three hours, Kong Laosan was able to come here, as far as the eye could see, the first thing that caught his eye was not the ancient atmosphere of the courtyard gate, but a cyan stone tablet with the length of two people, the vermilion characters of the two iron hook silver paintings of the "animal garden" were rubbed on it, each word was half a person's size, and the momentum was extraordinary.

Walking closer, Kong Laosan looked at the stele in front of him, his heart moved slightly, as if he noticed something, and turned his head to look in the direction of the courtyard gate.

The gate of the zoo was closed, unguarded, only a crane with a red crown stood in front of the door with one foot, its eyes seemed to be closed, and it seemed to be guarding the door.

"Zhao Hengdao, a disciple in the lower outer gate, is a new miscellaneous disciple in the beast park, I don't know ......"

Speaking of this, Kong Laosan didn't know what to call for a while, and he didn't know if the spirit crane in front of him understood what he meant, seeing that the spirit crane didn't react for a long time, Kong Laosan frowned unconsciously, and was just about to step forward and knock on the door directly, but before he left, the spirit crane with his eyes slightly closed suddenly opened his eyes, and glanced at Kong Laosan very humanely, with a proud expression, and screamed twice, and his voice was very good.

After crying, he stared directly at Kong Laosan, flapping his wings, as if begging for something, Kong Laosan was stunned, and subconsciously took out the beast card assigned by the miscellaneous hall in his pocket, and held it in front of Linghe with both hands, but what made Kong Laosan a little speechless was that the Linghe in front of him just glanced at it and didn't care, and continued to flutter his wings in front of Kong Laosan, crying twice, with a look of urging.

"Huh?"

Kong Laosan was a little puzzled, and looked carefully at the spirit crane in front of him, how could this expression look like ...... Shen Qian?

Kong Laosan was stunned, and an incredible thought came to mind, "Is it to ......?"

muttered in his heart, and immediately took out a spirit stone from his arms and handed it over, seeing this, the spirit crane's eyes actually showed a touch of anthropomorphic greed, and with a peck of his long beak, he swallowed the spirit stone into his stomach.

"This ......"

Kong Laosan's face twitched, and there was a trace of surprise on his face, the spirit stone in the immortal cultivation world is used as a trading currency, which can comprador all kinds of resources, and the spirit stone is also divided into low, middle, and high-grade, and there are even rumored top-grade spirit stones. It's just that for these spirit stones, cultivators can only slowly absorb the spiritual power contained in them, and use them to assist in cultivation, like the direct swallowing of the spirit crane in front of him, Kong Laosan can't even think of it, and he has never heard of a living being in the immortal cultivation world who can directly devour spirit stones to increase their strength.

Kong Laosan looked around the spirit crane in front of him, and finally found the clue, after the spirit crane swallowed the spirit stone, there was no spiritual power surging, as if the spirit stone was stored.

After swallowing a spirit stone, the spirit crane still didn't seem satisfied, its white wings fluttered, and a rapid cry came out of its mouth, and the cry was much higher than before, as if it was threatening something.

Seeing this, Kong Laosan was stunned, and then took out a spirit stone and handed it over a little speechlessly, the spirit crane cried excitedly, swallowed it directly into his stomach, and then flaped his wings and flew towards the courtyard with satisfaction.

Touching the four spirit stones left in his arms, Kong Laosan couldn't help but smack his lips a little, he didn't expect that a flat-haired beast in this immortal gate had also learned to ask for bribes, it seemed that no matter whether it was the secular world or this immortal cultivation world, it was the same.

Kong Laosan waited quietly, thinking that after receiving the benefits, Linghe would report to himself when he entered the courtyard, but he didn't expect to wait left and right but not see half a figure. After half an hour, Kong Laosan's brows furrowed even more, and after thinking about it, he stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Not long after, with a "squeak", a young man who looked to be in his twenties poked his head out from behind the courtyard gate, and was slightly stunned when he saw Kong Laosan.

"You ......"

"Zhao Hengdao, a disciple in the lower outer gate, is a new miscellaneous disciple, and I hope that the senior brother will give a good voice!"

Kong Laosan said, showing the beast card, but his face was a little ugly, he was obviously played by the damn flat-haired beast, not to mention the loss of two spirit stones, like a fool waited here for nearly half an hour in vain, his heart was secretly ruthless, and when he saw the beast again, he would definitely pluck it out and throw it into the pheasant cage.

Hearing Kong Laosan report to his home, the young man suddenly said, "It turns out to be the new Senior Brother Zhao, please come in, by the way, my name is Fu Yinglong, and the junior brother can call me Senior Brother Fu!"

As the young man spoke, he introduced Kong Laosan into the door, and as soon as he entered, an abundant spiritual power rushed towards him, and the intensity of the spiritual energy here was more than twice as strong as the spiritual energy at the bottom of the peak, which made Kong Laosan secretly surprised.

Seeming to see Kong Laosan's doubts, Fu Yinglong smiled, and explained without waiting for Kong Laosan to ask, "Spirit beasts, like our monks, have to swallow the spiritual power of heaven and earth to enhance their strength, for our Qinglingmen, in addition to the spirit devouring rat and the yellow-horned beast, the rest of the blood-crowned snake, iron-backed wolf, The three spirit beasts of the Fierce Flame Bird are all used to assist cultivators in fighting, and they require a certain amount of strength, if it is a barren place with poor spiritual power, I am afraid that it will not be useful to raise it for a hundred or ten years, and the general disciples do not know that the spiritual power in this place is so abundant, and they even think that it is troublesome to take care of the spirit beasts, so they are reluctant to come to this place, and the disciples who have come here to do miscellaneous work will always have a higher strength than ordinary outer disciples who have just started after a period of time. ”

"Oh, didn't those disciples ask something from the disciples who had been the slaves of the beastyard before?"

Kong Laosan asked in some surprise.

"Hehe, who would talk nonsense about this kind of thing, cultivating immortals is going against the sky, competing for resource space, who will tell others about this benefit?"

Fu Yinglong said, pouting.

"You come and register with me, at present, there is a shortage of outer disciples in the Snake Courtyard and the Wolf Courtyard, you can choose one at will. ”

As he spoke, he had already led Kong Laosan towards a slightly decorated wooden house facing the gate.

However, after the registration of Kong Laosan's information was completed, Fu Yinglong handed over a letterhead with a big red seal in his hand, "This is the order of the disciples of the Snake Courtyard, you take this, there is also an inner uncle in the Snake Courtyard, you can just hand over the order to him." ”

Kong Laosan took the order and glanced at it, and put it in his arms casually, but he didn't leave directly, pondered slightly, and said, "Senior Brother Fu, Senior Brother has just arrived, and there are some things I want to ask. ”

Hearing this, Fu Yinglong seemed to glance at Kong Laosan in some surprise, but then smiled and said, "Senior brother, although I have been here for many years, junior brother can ask if he has any doubts." ”

"I don't know what the rules of our animal park are, and what is the division of responsibilities if those spirit beasts die?"

"There are no rules in our animal park, but each animal courtyard has its own rules, you go to the snake courtyard and follow the instructions of the uncle, as for the spirit beast died in an accident, there will be a special uncle to investigate, but usually just a formality, under normal circumstances, there will not be much of a problem, after all, the spirit beast is also a living being, with birth, old age, sickness and death, common sense, no one will be too harsh. ”

Hearing this, Kong Laosan's heart was slightly certain, "Oh, if that's the case, there's nothing to worry about, thank you senior brother for telling me, be careful, not respectful." ”

Kong Laosan said, and at some point, two more spirit stones appeared in his hand and handed them to this Senior Brother Fu.

Seeing this, Fu Yinglong's expression moved slightly, but he still excused himself, "How embarrassing is this, junior brother quickly take it back." ”

"Hehe, it's just a little bit of my brother's heart, my brother has solved my doubts, and my brother is grateful. ”

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of this Senior Brother Fu in front of him, who was clearly moved, but a little overwhelmed, Kong Laosan couldn't help but be a little secretly funny, it seems that this Senior Brother Fu has not encountered this kind of thing very often.

At Kong Laosan's insistence, Fu Yinglong reluctantly accepted the two spirit stones, but his gaze at Kong Laosan was much kinder than just now.

"Although this animal garden is nominally in charge of Elder Qi, but his old man rarely comes here all year round, and many things are taken care of by the senior brother alone, so if the junior brother has any problems in the future, just come to me. ”

"Then thank you, brother. ”

The two of them exchanged a few polite words, and Kong Laosan didn't stay long, discerned the direction, and walked slowly in the direction of the snake courtyard.

The snake likes the cold, the courtyard is in the deepest part, and after a full hour, Kong Laosan finally came here.
