The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 174
Chapter 174: Lucky Luo ShuHe
Hearing the words Noble magic pill, You XiaoMo already had no doubt that the one coming was Luo ShuHe.
Hearing his tone of voice, it seemed as if they had the luck to bond with that Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders and the one who bonded with him should be Luo ShuHe. practitioners could also bond with demon beasts, but they needed the help of a mage.
“Congratulations, Da Shixiong, congratulations, Da Shixiong! Now we only must let Yun-shimei bond with this Nine-Winged Unity Serpent, and that would mean that the Qing Cheng Sect will have three emperor level fighters. When that time comes, the lowly Tian Xin Sect will no longer be a match for us. We could even eliminate them.”
“Ah, these things shouldn’t be said too early. It’s possible that the Tian Xin Sect is also as lucky as us, bonding with two level nine demon beasts suddenly.”
Luo ShuHe chuckled. Although there was faint admonishment in his words, anyone could hear that he didn’t mind it and was quite excited. In his heart, he just didn’t think it possible that the disciples of the Tian Xin Sect could be as lucky as them.
That shidi who was speaking scoffed, “What’s so great about the Tian Xin Sect? This kind of luck is not something anyone can have. The way I see it, they would be lucky to bond with one level eight demon beast.”
“Yang-shixiong, what Da Shixiong said is not wrong. It’s too early to decide the outcome. One month is not yet over. No one knows how it will turn out in the end.” A gentle voice suddenly spoke up. It seemed to be that Yun-shimei.
“I know. Seems like Yun-shimei speaks up for Da Shixiong every time,” Yang shixiong teased.
These words seemed to anger that Yun-shimei. She could be heard stamping her feet as if shamed to anger while saying, “I’m only agreeing with Da Shixiong’s view. Don’t talk nonsense, Yang-shixiong.”
Yang-shixiong laughed, seemingly not believing her words.
Maybe because Luo ShuHe bonded with a level nine demon beast, the group of people were no longer as uptight as when they first entered the Paradise Realm. Now they were already in the mood to joke around.
After a while, Luo ShuHe finally opened his mouth, “Everyone should not forget themselves. The Nine-Winged Unity Serpent is not like the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders. He had already shapeshifted for many years. His injuries are also not as severe as that of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders. Whether we will be able to bond it is yet uncertain. Furthermore, the canyon is very deep. It is unclear whether there are other demon beasts inside. Everyone be a little more careful.”
“What Young Master said is right. The situation inside the canyon is not clear. How about you let old me go first to look.”
“Then, we’d have to trouble Elder Li,” Luo ShuHe said.
“Young Master is too polite. If old me doesn’t come back out in an hour, Young Master should lead everyone away from here and find another opportunity to come back later,” Elder Li said.
Luo ShuHe frowned. If Elder Li, who was a seven-star Star level were to fall inside, it would mean that the situation inside was not as rosy as they imagined. He then said, “ShuHe understands.”
Naturally, not one word of their conversation escaped Ling Xiao’s ears.
Ling Xiao didn’t expect that their group of only three Star level fighters could walk up to here. Furthermore, Luo ShuHe had pretty good luck. He chanced upon a heavily injured level nine demon beast. If he’d really get to bond another level nine demon beast, the Tian Xin Sect would really be pushed down completely by the Qing Cheng Sect.
It was a pity that their rosy plan was doomed to fail.
You XiaoMo wanted to catch that Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders to bond with Fifth Shixiong or Second Shixiong. Unfortunately, Luo ShuHe was ahead by a step, so he couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.
You XiaoMo spoke hastily, “Ling-shixiong, that Elder Li is coming in soon. Should we not hide?”
“No need. I thought of a good idea.” The corners of Ling Xiao’s lips rose up slightly, revealing an especially warm smile, as if he had just thought of something excellent.
An hour later, Elder Li, who entered the canyon, came back out safely, but with a disappointed expression.
Luo ShuHe frowned when he saw his expression, but still asked hopefully, “Elder Li, what is the situation? Is that Nine-Winged Unity Serpent really heavily injured?”
Elder Li sighed, “Young Master, we are one step late. That Nine-Winged Unity Serpent was taken by someone one step ahead of us. I just went in to look. There is nothing left inside.”
Luo ShuHe’s face couldn’t but fall as he spoke in a heavy tone, “That Emperor’s Blood herb?”
Elder Li smiles drily while shaking his head, “Also gone.”
In an instant, the very happy atmosphere that was there an hour go disappeared all at once, replaced with a very subdued heaviness. Everyone was silent. If it were only the Nine-Winged Unity Serpent that disappeared, everyone would probably not be so disappointed. But that Emperor’s Blood herb was the purpose of this mission. If it was gone, finding another one would be difficult.
After a while, Luo ShuHe frowned as he said, “Elder Li, who do you think took the Emperor’s Blood herb?”
Elder Li pondered for a bit, “The Emperor’s Blood herb is a level nine magic herb. If not careful, or if one’s level is too low, it’s impossible to dig it out completely without damaging it. Old me saw what was left after the Emperor’s Blood herb was dug out. Extremely complete. So old me thinks that the person who dug out the Emperor’s Blood herb must be at least a level five mage.”
“Level five mage. Only the Tian Xin Sect and Xing Luo Sect have that capability.” Luo ShuHe spoke solemnly.
For second class forces like Xiao Yao Sect and the rest, they would not send a level five mage to the Paradise Realm. Although the Paradise Realm was a rare opportunity, the element of danger was high. They wouldn’t be able to bear the loss.
It was not the same for the Tian Xin Sect and Xing Luo Sect.
They had level eight and even level nine mages. Why would they bother about a level five mage? They had deep resources and deep talents. They just had to pay a little more attention to nurturing and that would do.
“The Tian Xin Sect already knows that the magic pill recipe was ‘taken’ away by Grand Master. If it fell into their hands, it would be very troublesome. As for Xing Luo Sect, they still don’t know about the level nine magic pill recipe. If we act rashly, it would only cause them to be suspicious. Furthermore, we just don’t know who dug it up.” The other seven-star Star Level Elder Mo shook his head and sighed as he spoke.
“You can’t mean just let it go?” Yang-shixiong said unwillingly.
They had been looking for the Emperor’s Blood herb for a long time. They only managed to charge into the Jade Spiritual Cave after much difficulty. It was clearly something that was just before their eyes and yet they were just one step behind. This kind of feeling left them feeling especially helpless and furious.
“Whatever it is, let’s leave here before talking it over, ba.” Elder Li said.
Although everyone’s mood was down in the dumps, they knew that they shouldn’t linger there. Ling He canyon was no longer presided over by a level nine demon beast. Very quickly, other demon beasts would come over once they got wind of it. Although they had two seven-star Star level fighters, it was better to take precautions.
Very quickly they returned to the nest of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders since it was heavily injured, Luo ShuHe left it in its nest.
Although it was very furious that the despicable human practitioners took advantage of its injuries to act, there was nothing it could do about it. That human practitioner named Luo ShuHe seized the opportunity to form a life-bond with him. Killing him would be the same as killing himself. That was not something it was looking to do. Right now, the important thing was to recover from his injuries. If the news that it was injured got out, the other demon beasts would take the opportunity to seize its territory.
As for magic herbs, it was a pity that he only had a stalk of level eight magic herb. The number of level nine magic herbs in the Jade Spiritual Cave could be counted on one hand. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to go snatch the Nine-Winged Unity Serpent’s level nine magic herb.
The cave of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders was rather special. It was located on the edge of a very steep cliff. At the precipice of the cliff, there was an enormous opening. The mountain cave was big enough to accommodate his true form.
Due to his injury, the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders had no way of retaining his human form. He could only assume his true form and rest inside the cave.
When Luo ShuHe returned, he caught sight of the humanlike flash of anger in the expression of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders. He knew that it was angry about something. Thinking that they would be partners from now on, he said, “Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, I know you are very unhappy. But we are now partners, with you being my life-bond demon beast. I promise that I won’t treat you badly.”
The Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders rolled his enormous eyeballs and gave him a glance. Although he acknowledged the truth in his words, he still wouldn’t accept him right away. It didn’t matter if he was the son of whatever the Qing Cheng Sect’s Grand Master, or however great his potential.
Luo ShuHe knew that he needed to give it a little time, so he did not bring up the matter about the bond again. Instead, he asked tentatively, “Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, we want to leave this place. You… can you still fly?”
At first, the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders didn’t react. After a while, that enormous body suddenly got smaller and smaller, finally turning into a mini version of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders. If one didn’t look closely, one wouldn’t be able to tell what kind of demon beast he is.
The cavernous mountain cave felt extremely wide suddenly.
Luo ShuHe was struck with glee. The willingness of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders to shrink himself meant that he was already showing some signs of accepting him.
At that time, when he was establishing the bond with the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, he did feel some hesitation. After all, forming the bond by force increased the possibility of lowering the affinity of the bond. Apparently, there was some hope.
Luo ShuHe scooped up the mini Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders and placed him carefully on his shoulder before leaving the cliff.
Seeing the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, everyone’s mood finally started to lift a little. Although they couldn’t find the Emperor’s Blood herb, having a level nine demon beast allowed the Qing Cheng Sect to rise one level, putting the Tian Xin Sect under their feet.
Now their mission continued with their quest for other magic herbs and demon beasts. For the moment, the dreams of level nine magic herbs were put to one side.
The Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders told them that although there really were more level nine magic herbs in the center of the Jade Spiritual Cave, the demon beasts guarding the level nine magic herbs were even stronger. Some were almost on the point of breaking through past level nine. They would only be walking to their deaths if they proceed.
Although it was too bad, while depending on the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, they really managed to find quite a few good magic herbs and demon beasts of acceptable level in the following fifteen days. Although their levels could not match that of the Heavenly Bird of Six Thunders, level six and level seven were not too shabby. Although some of the demon beasts had already gained spiritual enlightenment, they would still lose when battling with humans.
In no time the contingent that started with five people rose like a dragon suddenly, with the addition of seven mid-level demon beasts. Not only that, this lineup could probably be considered the strongest lineup in the Paradise Realm.
