Chapter 524
Golden Crow
As soon as the old tortoise finished speaking, it vanished from Qi Ping's sight, leaving behind only a pile of white bones.
At this moment, Qi Ping had not yet recovered from the shock of the transaction price increasing by 20%.
"Gift?"
Qi Ping's heart skipped a beat, wondering what this old black-armored tortoise was really up to.
Judging from the attitude of the Xuanjia Old Tortoise just now, compared to this gift, the 20% increase in the transaction price is nothing.
However, Qi Ping was well aware of just how terrifying the resource gains would be from that 20% increase in transaction prices.
The old tortoise with black armor must be well aware of this.
But what exactly is it that makes the terrifying profits from those 20% transaction prices seem insignificant?
What Qi Ping couldn't understand the most was why the Xuanjia Old Tortoise would do this?
"Just because of what I just said, it broke through its shackles and comprehended the Great Dao?"
Although there is a saying that one cannot repay the debt of gratitude for attaining enlightenment, it is understandable that the Xuanjia Old Tortoise would give a gift to settle this karmic debt.
However, in Qi Ping's opinion, the first gift was already generous enough.
This even more generous second portion made him wonder if there was some ulterior motive.
Having grown accustomed to the treacherous world of cultivation, he found it hard to believe that this was simply a gift.
But Qi Ping had to admit that he was tempted!
At his current level and position, the Star Sea World basically no longer has the resources to help him break through. In the eyes of an ordinary person, he is currently in a state of not having enough to eat.
Given the strength and status of the Xuanjia Old Tortoise, and considering the enormous benefits brought by the first gift, this second gift is most likely an unimaginable resource.
You should know that the first time you met the Xuanjia Old Turtle, the opponent's first move was an extremely rare eighth-grade resentment tea!
"No matter what, I'm just a spirit body now, what is there to be afraid of? Besides, the deal between the two realms has already been finalized, and the other party shouldn't do anything that would cause losses to the interests of both realms."
With this in mind, Qi Ping temporarily put aside the thought of being persecuted, but his physical body remained ready to deal with any potential crisis.
"But who is this little golden spirit?"
The Xuanjia Old Tortoise left behind only one name; Qi Ping knew nothing else about it.
Since wandering around aimlessly didn't seem appropriate, Qi Ping sat down directly on the pile of white bones and began to carefully sense the laws and spiritual energy of the Forest Sea Demon Realm.
Especially when he thought about finding the crows, he figured it was best to be on the safe side.
Judging from his previous conversation with the Xuanjia Old Turtle, the other party was fully aware that he had sent Ya Ya, Little Spirit Fox, Little Flower Fairy, Three-Colored Deer, and Little Green Snake into the Forest Sea Demon Realm back then, but it seems that the other party did not interfere.
So many years have passed, and Qi Ping still doesn't know what their current situation is. In order to prevent them from being discovered as pets of human cultivators, Qi Ping suppressed all the contract marks except for their life-saving abilities. Therefore, Qi Ping is now unaware of the situation of his animal companions over the past few years.
Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, this amount of time is not a big deal for someone in the Integration Stage. Qi Ping also gradually digested the power brought by the Wish Tea by taking advantage of the richer spiritual energy and stronger laws of the Forest Sea Demon Realm.
Now, all Qi Ping needs to do is activate his mind, and a terrifying super battlefield will take shape in his mind, transforming into his weapons of attack and defense.
For Qi Ping, even just the eighth-tier Vengeful Spirit as a reward from this trip would be astonishing enough.
At this moment, he also deeply felt the enormous gap between the Star Sea World and other powerful worlds.
For the Star Sea World to truly establish itself in this universe, the road ahead is still long and arduous. Today, Qi Ping's wait did not continue.
Because he could feel with absolute clarity that one of the two blazing suns overhead was suddenly growing brighter and brighter.
Most terrifyingly, an incomparably vast aura and immense life essence awakened within it.
"This is actually a living being?"
Qi Ping originally thought that the two suns were a unique feature of the Forest Sea Demon Realm.
But he never imagined that one of the blazing suns was actually a living being!
What kind of being could transform into the blazing sun?
At this moment, in Qi Ping's perception, an enormous golden wing suddenly unfolded from both sides of the blazing sun, and the aura of an eighth-order divine beast, that is, a Mahayana-stage divine beast, surged forth!
It was a golden crow!
Moreover, it is a Golden Crow with extremely powerful bloodline power!
"No way!"
A strange thought suddenly arose in Qi Ping's mind:
Could the little golden spirit mentioned by the old black-armored tortoise be this golden crow in the Mahayana stage, transformed into the blazing sun?
A Golden Crow divine beast at the Mahayana stage would be an incredibly terrifying existence in any world, and it's impossible to connect it with the character "小" (xiao).
However, the name "Jinling" seems to be related to the Golden Crow.
The next moment, Qi Ping had no more doubts in his heart.
Because the golden crow that had transformed into the blazing sun was rushing toward him as rapidly as the setting sun.
"What exactly is the strength and identity of that Xuanjia Old Turtle?" This question suddenly arose in Qi Ping's mind.
Judging from the current situation, the identity and strength of that Xuanjia Old Turtle are probably much greater than he previously guessed.
As the burning sensation intensified, the golden crow drew ever closer to Qi Ping.
The moment Qi Ping could clearly see the appearance of the golden crow, he felt a burning pain from the depths of his soul. His entire spiritual body transformed into a wooden-patterned battle armor with self-repairing capabilities, barely managing to prevent his spiritual body from being destroyed.
Fortunately, this pressure suddenly dissipated at the last moment when Qi Ping was about to give up.
Immediately afterwards, a muscular, bald man slammed heavily in front of Qi Ping, and countless bones turned to dust in that instant.
Endless fire-attribute spiritual energy surrounded the bald man as if he were a reverent emperor.
"Do all these guys in the Forest Sea Demon Realm like to do extreme tests?" Qi Ping thought helplessly.
However, circumstances were beyond his control, so he didn't think too much about it, since the Forest Sea Demon Realm had never tried to harm him.
Moreover, if it were him, it would be perfectly reasonable for the other party to test him if they wanted to do business on equal footing.
Qi Ping never expected that he would encounter such terrifying beings of this level in such a short period of time after arriving in the Forest Sea Demon Realm.
At the same time, Qi Ping couldn't help but look forward to what the Xuanjia Old Turtle's second gift would be, something that would require a Mahayana stage cultivator to specially awaken from seclusion.
Meanwhile, the golden crow that had transformed into a blazing sun was also filled with shock, because it could actually sense the aura of the Resentful Tea on Qi Ping!
"Fusion stage? Eighth-tier Resentment Tea? Is this combination right?" (End of Chapter)
