Chapter 1845: The Recognized Master

This top-grade spiritual beast had so easily recognized its master; Luo Fu still didn't understand why, but Long Feixue's identity was certainly not simple—perhaps she hid deeper secrets behind her.

Luo Fu said: "After a top-grade spiritual beast undergoes transformation, its hard carapace becomes impregnable!"

"This is especially true for the Three-Eyed Crimson-Black Snake!"

"So during their molting period, the black carapace shards they shed—when refined—can be forged into a blade of unimaginable hardness!"

Upon hearing Luo Fu say this, Long Feixue's eyes lit up.

At the same time, she felt deep regret—if she had known the hard carapace shed by Xiao Bai was so valuable, she should have sold it sooner.

Zhang Bufan was also astonished, clearly finding this unbelievable.

Meng Guangbai hurriedly asked: "Is this true?"

"So, Brother Luo recognized this Three-Eyed Crimson-Black Snake as a top-grade spiritual beast at a glance, and used a three-hundred-year soul bone to save this girl—just for those shards?"

"Still, it's not a bad deal!"

Gong Sun Huohuo scratched her head; though she didn't fully understand, she still chose to trust Luo Fu unconditionally—after all, he was her recognized master.

"Let's go. Take us to see those carapace shards—if they meet the criteria, I'll take them and forge a weapon suited to my hand!"

"As for the soul bone, I won't pursue it further," Luo Fu said.

Luo Fu was remarkably generous—after all, that three-hundred-year soul bone had a reserve auction price of at least one hundred thousand gold pieces, and he simply dropped the matter entirely.

But Luo Fu had just said that if the shed scales of the Three-Eyed Crimson-Black Snake were truly useful, their value would far exceed one hundred thousand gold pieces.

Long Feixue stood up and led Luo Fu toward her residence.

Yet along the way, Long Feixue felt deeply puzzled.

"Brother Luo, you said Xiao Bai has three eyes, but I can't see any third eye—where is it?" Long Feixue asked.

Luo Fu smiled: "At least another five years."

"The Three-Eyed Crimson-Black Snake must complete its molting before its third eye appears!"

"Only then will it reach its true full form—then, that Crimson-Black Snake will be worth at least one million gold pieces, but by then, no one would dare capture it for auction!"

When the Three-Eyed Crimson-Black Snake completes its cultivation and fully transforms, it will undergo a complete metamorphosis.

Few people raise this kind of spiritual beast, but if one succeeds, it grants dominion over a region—naturally requiring immense effort and devotion.

Long Feixue had tended to this Crimson-Black Snake day after day, helping it complete five years of molting.

In another five years, this Crimson-Black Snake will become extremely powerful.

Long Feixue sighed; she didn't care whether Xiao Bai would grow powerful—she only cared that Xiao Bai no longer suffer so much.

The group followed Long Feixue to a small village at the edge of Shanhe City.

This village was extremely secluded, its environment vastly inferior to that of Shanhe City—it looked impoverished, standing in stark contrast to the city's overwhelming wealth.

Long Feixue led them all into a cave.

Inside the cave, simple fences had been erected; the interior was rudimentary—hard to believe this was where a young girl lived.

"You live here all the time?" Gong Sun Huohuo frowned.

Zhang Bufan was speechless—it was clear Long Feixue lived in hardship.
