Chapter 1843

At that time, she could only watch helplessly as Luo Fu took Xiao Bai away.

Just imagining that scene filled Long Feixue with utter despair.

Luo Fu shook his head and said, "You're overthinking it—I have no interest in this little snake. Linglong Pavilion's eye for quality is indeed good; this red-black snake is truly well-formed!"

"But Linglong Pavilion's discernment ends there!"

"They didn't realize this is a three-eyed red-black snake!"

Luo Fu slowly approached the black snake. Long Feixue was still somewhat afraid, but she seemed to sense Luo Fu meant no harm, so she did not stop him.

"Three-eyed red-black snake?"

"What does that mean? Brother Luo, Xiao Bai only has two eyes—he's not the three-eyed red-black snake you're looking for. Brother Luo must be mistaken!" said Long Feixue.

Luo Fu smiled. How could he possibly be mistaken?

When that red-black snake had flown toward him just now, he had already sensed its energy signature was different from that of an ordinary spirit beast.

This spirit beast has tremendous potential!

If he had seen such a beast at Linglong Pavilion, he would have paid a fortune to buy it.

But this red-black snake has already bonded with its master; Luo Fu has no reason to steal what belongs to another, and besides, what he cares about isn't this tiny spirit beast.

"Don't worry—I won't lay a hand on this snake!"

"But I'd like to see the hardened scales this red-black snake has shed. You've kept them all, haven't you?" Luo Fu asked.

Long Feixue nodded.

Though she didn't know Luo Fu's purpose, these black scales were useless to her.

"Of course—I didn't know what use the scales Xiao Bai shed had, so I didn't dare throw them away. I've kept them in a box for years!"

"Now the box is completely full!" said Long Feixue.

Luo Fu nodded, seemingly satisfied.

"Take us there. Don't look at me like that—I told you, I have no interest in this red-black snake!" Luo Fu sighed with amusement.

Long Feixue was half-skeptical.

But clearly, she had no choice.

Zhang Bufan felt strange: Luo Fu didn't want the three-eyed red-black snake, yet he was interested in its shed scales—this was truly bizarre.

"So what Master said about things worth over ten thousand jin—is that referring to the skin shed by the three-eyed red-black snake? Or its hardened scales?" asked Gong Sun Huohuo.

Meng Guangbai also felt confused.

Zhang Bufan had never heard of anything so strange.

Luo Fu smiled. Red-black snakes are common, but only after cultivating for at least a hundred years can their true quality be discerned.

Most cultivators lack the patience, so few bother raising red-black snakes.

If a red-black snake raised for a hundred years ultimately regresses into an ordinary black snake, the investment clearly doesn't match the return.
