Chapter 10: Golden Winged Bird

Since Lin Zhangqing passed the Spirit Plant Master assessment, time has passed for a few months, and it is already approaching the end of the year, and his father and Second Uncle will be back soon.

Lin Zhangqing shifted his focus slightly to cultivation. But the learning of Spirit Plant Master inheritance has not been put down.

Every day, he still has to go to the Scripture Pavilion to read books, and go to the spirit medicine garden to help his grandfather and aunt. The time is arranged full. Every day of diligent cultivation is very fulfilling.

Lin Zhangqing's cultivation base has now reached the peak of the second layer of Qi Refining. To have the current cultivation base, besides his own efforts, there is also the support of his family.

After all, the Qi Gathering Pills Lin Zhangqing takes are all First-Grade Middle-Upper Quality, anyway, he has never taken lower-quality ones.

Lin Zhangqing has learned about it in the Affairs Hall. Lower-quality Qi Gathering Pills cost 2 contribution points. Middle-quality costs 5 contribution points. Upper-quality costs 10 contribution points. Anyway, it is not cheap.

This day, Lin Zhangqing came out of the Scripture Pavilion, and the Second Elder saw him and said: "Little Qing, the demon hunting team is back, at the family plaza."

Lin Zhangqing was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked the Second Elder, and ran toward the plaza. After patrolling the plaza, he recognized his father and Second Uncle in the crowd. The stone in his heart fell. Felt relieved.

Squeezed to his father and Second Uncle's side. His father patted his head, and Second Uncle hugged his shoulder hard. Neither of them made a sound. Lin Zhangqing knew he had to listen to what the Clan Leader said.

After listening for a while, he knew that three people died in demon hunting this year, and seven were injured. Lin Zhangqing clenched his fists. The casualties this year actually reached one-sixth. This casualty rate is simply too high!

After the Clan Leader finished speaking. Let the demon hunting team go back to rest. There will naturally be people to handle the registration and exchange of contribution points later.

The three walked out of the plaza, and met his aunt, mother, and little sister at the edge of the plaza. Father took his younger sister from his mother's arms, held her, and the family walked home happily.

Returning home, after his father and Second Uncle washed up. Everyone sat together. Both of them were especially happy and excited to hear that Lin Zhangqing was now a First-Grade Lower-Quality Spirit Plant Master recognized by the family.

Second Uncle patted his storage bag. Took out a jade box from inside. Handed it to Lin Zhangqing. Said: "This is a gift specifically left for you by your father and me."

Lin Zhangqing opened it and saw that inside was a spirit beast egg with a cyan bottom and irregular golden spots on the surface.

"This is a Golden Winged Bird egg, which is our harvest this time. This kind of bird has a dark cyan body, two wings are golden, and its claws are strong and powerful, so it is named Golden Winged Bird.

It flies high and fast, this time if it weren't for it brooding and hatching eggs. We wouldn't have been able to exterminate it.

This kind of bird is a good hand at high-altitude reconnaissance, and its combat power is not weak, it can grow to the First-Grade Upper-Quality stage, equivalent to the perfection of Qi Refining.

This time we harvested a nest, with three spirit beast eggs, we each have one."

Lin Zhangqing happily thanked his father and Second Uncle. Also asked about how to hatch and feed, etc.

Then everyone asked about the experience of hunting demons this time. Second Uncle started to tell in detail, and father added on the side. When talking about the exciting parts, Second Uncle danced and gestured, with exaggerated expressions, making everyone laugh out loud. The family is together, happy and harmonious, this feeling is really very good and very safe!

In the evening, his mother and aunt prepared a sumptuous dinner, everyone gathered happily to eat, the atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful. Mother said at the dinner table: "Who likes Lin Zhangqing, asked if you want to see, if it's suitable, you can book it first."

Aunt also said: "Who also asked her about Lin Zhangqing, it seems there is this intention."

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly declared that he was still young, and he would find it himself when he grew up. Don't arrange marriage. Everyone laughed out loud after hearing this. Teasing Lin Zhangqing for being young but having old thoughts.

Grandfather also made a decision saying don't worry. Wait until Lin Zhangqing grows up. With Grandfather saving the scene, Lin Zhangqing breathed a sigh of relief, just afraid of finding him a little fiancée, about the same age as him. Thinking about it is awkward.

After eating, after completing today's spell cultivation, returning to the bedroom to rest, Lin Zhangqing thought about going to the Scripture Pavilion tomorrow to find a way to control spirit beasts. Remember Grandfather said the family has a master-servant contract to contract spirit pets. By the way, find out if there is any record of Golden Winged Bird cultivation, etc.

The next day, after Lin Zhangqing finished his cultivation, he went to the spirit medicine garden to see if there was anything to help. Seeing nothing, he went straight to the Scripture Pavilion.

Thinking that he would soon have a spirit pet, people became excited. Directly told the Second Elder that he wanted to find a way to control spirit beasts. The Second Elder recommended the master-servant contract, and he got it after deducting 10 contribution points.

Lin Zhangqing roughly knew where the books about spirit beasts were. He went there to find them himself. After flipping for a long time, he found two books that might be useful.

One is "Records of Spirit Beasts in the Qingyun Mountain Range", which is a record of a Foundation Establishment late-stage senior's observations of spirit beasts in the Qingyun Mountain Range, a thick book.

This is useful for father and Second Uncle, I don't know if they have read this book. Should let them see it. Ask them when I go back? The other one is specifically introducing spirit birds. This book is much thinner. Let's start reading from this book first. Found a comfortable position and sat down to read slowly.

Reading for an entire afternoon, the harvest is not bad. Found the record of the Golden Winged Bird.

Golden Winged Bird belongs to the spirit beast of Gold and Wind attributes, small body, fast speed, can roam in the high altitude for a long time.

Smart and very spiritual, can recognize its master, high loyalty. After adulthood, its wingspan can reach 1.5 meters. Wild adult Golden Winged Birds are unruly and difficult to tame.

Usually extremely difficult to see, will build nests in places difficult for other spirit beasts to find. Omnivorous animals, spirit medicines, spirit fruits, insects, snakes, small and medium-sized spirit beasts are all on its menu.

Under normal circumstances, it can cultivate to the peak of the First-Grade late stage, and a small number can break through to the Second-Grade. Legend has it that it has a trace of the bloodline of the Great Peng Golden Winged Bird.

Not bad, share these materials with father and Second Uncle when the time comes. Today, not only found the materials of the Golden Winged Bird, but also focused on reading "Records of Spirit Beasts in the Qingyun Mountain Range", and had a certain understanding of the Qingyun Mountain Range and spirit beasts.

In the future, when going out to roam or hunt demons, it should be useful. Lin Zhangqing never thought of just being a Spirit Plant Master, staying at home to farm, handling spirit medicines and spirit plants for a lifetime, although stable, this is not what Lin Zhangqing wants.

Forget it, don't think about these for now, the most important thing now is to raise his cultivation base.

Lin Zhangqing returned home, gave the master-servant contract and materials to his father and Second Uncle, and mentioned the matter of "Records of Spirit Beasts in the Qingyun Mountain Range", father and Second Uncle let him rest assured, indicating that they had all read it.

Another two days passed. Father had already prepared the contract array for Lin Zhangqing.

Seeing that everything was ready, Lin Zhangqing placed the Golden Winged Bird egg in the center of the array, and then dripped a drop of essence blood containing Lin Zhangqing's spiritual energy on it. Seeing the essence blood being absorbed, it proved that the contract was successful.

Lin Zhangqing immediately felt a weak consciousness in the egg. Transmitted a feeling of intimacy. Immediately carefully placed the Golden Winged Bird egg in the small nest prepared in advance.

It is estimated that it will hatch in about ten days. Placed more than a dozen metal attribute spirit stones around the egg. Hope it will be helpful for the hatching of the Golden Winged Bird.

As for why not put wind attribute spirit stones, that is because there are none. Wind attribute spirit stones themselves are also rare resources. Lin Zhangqing doesn't have them now.

Now Lin Zhangqing is already considering what name to give it.

Is Wangcai good, or Laifu good, Little Gold also seems not bad. Headache!
