Chapter 310

However, after considering it for a moment, Lin Zhangqing ruled out the Crown Thornbird; although they both had golden appearances, their sizes were not very similar.

Therefore, this demonic beast was most likely a Golden-Feathered Sharp-Claw Eagle, a type of beast whose attributes were relatively similar to Chuyi's.

Now, Chuyi's entire body was also turning golden, making it quite similar to the Golden-Feathered Sharp-Claw Eagle, except that the Sharp-Claw Eagle even had golden claws.

After observing for a while, Lin Zhangqing still thought he should first remove the inner core of this Sharp-Claw Eagle.

Signaling for Zhao Liyu to come over and help, and to be careful to collect the blood, he directly made a long incision in the Sharp-Claw Eagle's abdomen.

Reaching inside to search, he easily felt something round, took it out, and washed it clean.

It was indeed the Sharp-Claw Eagle's inner core, glittering with golden light and emitting a faint metallic spiritual energy fluctuation; Lin Zhangqing specifically observed Chuyi's reaction.

He discovered that it was truly quite interested, constantly staring at the inner core in Lin Zhangqing's hand, its body moving non-stop, looking as if it were eager to try.

It must have really wanted this inner core, if not for the fact that it had been well-trained by Lin Zhangqing since it was young, knowing it couldn't come over to snatch things.

Moreover, snatching it would be useless; only when the master gave it would it be his. If it had been Chuer wanting this thing, it probably would have pounced on it directly long ago.

Seeing that Lin Zhangqing was also looking at it, it hurriedly expressed its urgent desire for this inner core to Lin Zhangqing through their contract.

This actually coincided with Lin Zhangqing's own thoughts, and he specifically glanced at Chuer again.

He found that this fellow didn't have any special reaction, and it didn't look like it had any interest in this inner core.

However, he was busy right now, and it wasn't suitable for Chuyi to undergo its breakthrough inside the inner space, so he could only comfort it first, telling it to be patient and wait another day or two, then put away the golden inner core.

Next, he had to continue processing the Sharp-Claw Eagle's carcass, removing its pair of wings completely from the roots.

He spread them out to measure, and they were about one and two or three zhang wide; this pair of wings could be refined into an auxiliary flight spiritual artifact.

It was the kind that could assist flight on one's back, looking a bit like a bird-man, but this thing was a very practical auxiliary spiritual artifact that provided a large speed bonus.

Then he removed the two sharp claws; Lin Zhangqing didn't know what these could be used for either, but he would just put them away for now.

Following that were the golden feathers all over its body; while called feathers, they actually had quite a texture when touched, feeling a bit like metal, yet not as solid as metal, and possessing some toughness.

He didn't know what these could be used for either, so he would just keep them; it took him and Zhao Liyu a long time to pluck all the feathers off the Sharp-Claw Eagle.

However, there wasn't much meat left on the Sharp-Claw Eagle, so he just threw it together with the meat of the previous demonic beast.

The internal organs and blood were also processed, leaving only the final skeleton; this thing was different from the skeletons of the previous two demonic beasts.

The previous two could be used for soaking wine because they were both demonic beasts with strong blood and Qi, so the medicinal wine produced had some efficacy in nourishing blood and Qi.

But the Sharp-Claw Eagle was not a beast known for its blood and Qi, so there was no need to use it for wine, and he could only put it away for now.

When he had time later, he would find an opportunity to check the family Scripture Pavilion to see if there was any information on this.

The three second-stage demonic beasts he had picked up for free were processed just like that, and there was also the carcass of a first-stage Green-Feathered Eagle.

However, Lin Zhangqing didn't think much of the materials on this beast, so he couldn't be bothered to deal with it; he would just take it out later and use it as rations for his spirit beasts.

The meat harvested from these four demonic beasts was not insignificant, totaling about three to four thousand catties, and a great deal of demonic beast meat was also found in Wan Yuanqing's storage bag, though unfortunately, the vast majority was first-stage, with only a small amount of second-stage meat. He distributed a small portion to his younger sister and Lin Changlian, because they both had spirit beasts to raise, and the remaining majority stayed with Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing specifically got a large storage bag to hold these meats, with all the meat totaling about five or six thousand catties, enough to feed all his current spirit beasts for a long time.

After summoning Chuyi and Chuer back into the spirit beast bracelet and instructing Zhao Liyu to clean up the site, Lin Zhangqing exited the inner space.

Processing the three second-stage demonic beast carcasses in the inner space had already taken quite a bit of time, and it was now almost late at night! Chuyi's matter would have to wait until tomorrow, and Lin Zhangqing had already decided on the place for Chuyi's breakthrough: the cultivation room in the Aoyun Peak courtyard.

In fact, Lin Zhangqing was quite looking forward to it, wondering what Chuyi would become after its breakthrough; it already showed some signs of mutation, and with the addition of the Golden-Feathered Sharp-Claw Eagle's inner core.

As the resources for this breakthrough, he believed that if Chuyi successfully broke through, it would definitely bring Lin Zhangqing unexpected surprises.

Filled with anticipation, he began his regular cultivation of spells, divine abilities, and the Thunder True Scripture.

Early the next morning, after completing his basic cultivation of the Five Elements Chaos Sutra, Lin Zhangqing flew directly to Aoyun Peak on his sword.

He arrived directly in the courtyard's cultivation room, first released Chuyi, and then began to stroke its feathers, while Chuyi gently nudged Lin Zhangqing with its head.

In his impression, it seemed like it had been quite a while since he had stroked Chuyi's feathers, especially since it had gotten a wife.

Chuyi spent all its time with Chuer, so naturally, the time it spent with its master had decreased! It was truly a lustful bird that forgot its master for a mate, but Lin Zhangqing forgave it nonetheless.

After the master and servant played and interacted for a while, Lin Zhangqing felt it was about time, so he took out the golden inner core from last night from his storage bag.

Upon seeing this golden inner core, Chuyi immediately became excited, again looking eager to try; Lin Zhangqing told it his plan through their contract.

After understanding its master's meaning, Chuyi was truly extremely excited, acting cute and nudging its head in every way just to please Lin Zhangqing.

Not intending to keep it waiting, he directly let Chuyi swallow the inner core and took out the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Bottle.

After casting a Spirit Light Shield on himself, he extracted a portion of the Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine of the appropriate amount from inside.

He sent it in front of Chuyi, who swallowed it in one gulp, and within a short moment, Chuyi fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Zhangqing was now very experienced with this situation, so he didn't disturb it further, but simply poured out four or five thousand low-grade Gold Spirit Stones beside it.

This was all the low-grade Gold Spirit Stones in Lin Zhangqing's storage bag, and he only hoped it would be of some help to its breakthrough.

Afterwards, he exited the cultivation room directly and activated the restriction on the door from the outside to prevent anyone from disturbing Chuyi's breakthrough without knowing.

Arriving in the courtyard, he released Chuer again and told it through their contract that Chuyi was currently undergoing a breakthrough.

He told it not to go too far away during this period, but to stay nearby and keep watch, which could be considered guarding Chuyi.

Upon hearing this, Chuer nodded in a very human-like manner, and imitating Chuyi's behavior, gently nudged Lin Zhangqing.

Then it flew back to stay in their nest, though its head frequently turned in all directions, clearly observing whether anyone was approaching.

Seeing this serious look, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't pay it any more mind.
