Chapter 558: Remains of the Great Sun Fire Crow (Second update, requesting everything)

Due to the taboo against Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen killing others to seize treasures, Luo Jingfei naturally did not carefully inspect every inch of the cave dwelling; at the very least, it was impossible for her to dig three feet deep, and she could at most scan it with her Mental Power.

Even with the same Mental Power scanning, Li Zhangsheng could clearly perceive the energy fluctuations.

It was precisely because of this that Li Zhangsheng noticed the trickery at the first moment and prepared to dig it up after Luo Jingfei left.

Luo Jingfei had left, which meant that the two of them no longer needed to abide by the spirit of the contract; everything obtained now belonged to them.

Li Zhangsheng shook his Monster Pet Bag, released the Xi Mouse, and pointing to the ground nearby, said, "Xi Mouse, thank you for your hard work!"

Squeak squeak~

The Xi Mouse let out a cry toward Li Zhangsheng, then immediately used all four limbs to dig into the ground; its digging speed was unimaginably fast, countless clods of dirt flew about, and in the blink of an eye, it had vanished from sight.

Within a few breaths of time, a section of white bone entered the pair's view, and immediately after, more and more white bones devoid of flesh and blood were dug out.

Seeing this scene, Li Zhangsheng revealed a contemplative expression.

Judging from the situation, some Spirit Beast remains were buried here, and the exact number would depend on the circumstances.

Not long after, the Xi Mouse had dug out a large pit several tens of meters in circumference; it had even broken through the wall of the meditation room.

In this large pit, a large quantity of white bones without a trace of flesh and blood were piled up; if one observed carefully, one would discover that these were the remains of several Spirit Beasts.

Even though they had been dead for a long time, Li Zhangsheng could still faintly sense a trace of Pressure; the owners of these bones clearly possessed powerful strength while they were alive.

"These are at the very least Demon King level, and there are even three Demon King level remains!"

Through observing their aura, Li Zhangsheng judged their approximate level while they were alive.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng looked sharply at the skeleton in the meditation room; if his guess was correct, these remains were very likely the Demon Pets of the cave dwelling's owner while they were alive.

Li Zhangsheng began to speculate: the cave dwelling's owner had likely encountered a powerful enemy, and although they ultimately succeeded in repelling or killing the opponent, they themselves had won a pyrrhic victory; the death of a large number of Demon Pets left them in a dying state, and in the end, they only had time to dig a pit to bury these Demon Pets and activate the Restriction to try to suppress their injuries, but unfortunately, they were ultimately unable to turn the tide and fell here.

That Demon King level Giant God Puppet guarding the cave dwelling was likely the surviving Demon Pet of the cave dwelling's owner, which eventually treated this place as its home and did not want anyone to disturb its master's slumber.

As for the map that Luo Jingfei obtained, it should have been a treasure map hastily made by the cave dwelling's owner upon seeing that they were unable to turn the tide; it was possible they wanted to pass it on to Yongan Palace, but unfortunately, an accident occurred on the way, and it was eventually obtained by Luo Jingfei.

Li Zhangsheng counted them; there were a total of eight Demon Pet remains here, and because they had lost their flesh and blood, he could only rely on the shape of the remains to identify what they looked like while alive.

Ning Bizhen was also carefully identifying them, occasionally explaining her views and conclusions.

Soon, the two reached a conclusion.

Among these eight corpses, the largest in size was the skeleton of a giant dragon, a full fifty-plus meters long; judging from the scattered golden Dragon Scales, this was a Demon King level Golden Dragon.

However, the one with the strongest aura was not the Demon King level Golden Dragon, but the skeleton of a large bird over 20 meters in length; even though it had lost its flesh and blood, its body surface was still covered in feathers that looked like gold, and there was a fatal piercing wound on its chest.

The greatest peculiarity of this large bird was that it had three legs.

Great Sun Fire Crow!

Looking at these remains, both of them gasped; because the Great Sun Fire Crow could be said to be an evolved form of the Three-Legged Fire Crow, possessing the Master Race and Vigorous Grade Three-Legged Golden Crow Bloodline, it was very likely the trump card of the cave dwelling's owner.

Among these three Demon King level remains, the last one was the skeleton of a cat-type creature with two pairs of wings.

Even though at least several decades had passed, Li Zhangsheng could still sense a trace of Thunder aura through his Mental Power.

This was the skeleton of a Purple Firmament Thunder Cat!

Like the Morning Light Cat, the Purple Firmament Thunder Cat also possessed a Concentrated Grade Cang Cat Bloodline.

Purple Firmament Thunder Cat: Thunder Attribute, Medium Monarch Species, small cat-type Spirit Beast, temperamental and irritable, extremely fast, fur has strong resistance, average strength, excels in long-range output.

Of course, what Li Zhangsheng valued most was the Concentrated Grade Cang Cat Bloodline.

Not long ago, Li Zhangsheng had fed Baitian a large jar of Cang Cat Spirit Essence; if he could further refine Spirit Essence from this Purple Firmament Thunder Cat skeleton, it might allow Baitian to complete its evolution.

Relying on the advantage of the Light-Dark Twin Symbiote, Heiye could also complete its evolution; with their Half-Step Epic quality, even thinking about it was exciting.

Among the other five Lord-level corpses, the ones useful to the two were the remains of the Ancestor Flame Bird and the Unicorn Pegasus, respectively. The former possessed a Concentrated Grade Phoenix Bloodline, while the latter had a Pure Grade Pegasus Bloodline.

Among them, the Blue-Eyed Suet Horse belonging to Ning Bizhen possessed the Pegasus Bloodline.

Li Zhangsheng naturally could not let the remains go; even though these remains had lost their flesh and blood, their bones had not suffered decay, and he believed he could refine quite a bit of Spirit Essence from them.

"Bizhen, let's take them back together."

Ning Bizhen naturally did not object, and together with Li Zhangsheng, she placed the remains into her Space Ring.

Even though Li Zhangsheng possessed quite a few Space Rings and had Ning Bizhen helping on the side, they were still unable to fully fit these remains.

There was no help for it; the Demon King level Golden Dragon skeleton alone occupied most of the ring's space.

"Let's transport them in two batches!"

Li Zhangsheng felt somewhat helpless; the two could only fit the three most important Demon King level remains, and they prepared to transport the remaining five Lord-level remains in the second batch.

"I will stay behind to watch these remains, so as to avoid any mishaps!"

Ning Bizhen chose to stay behind and took the initiative to hand all the Space Rings on her person to Li Zhangsheng.

"That works too!"

Li Zhangsheng did not refuse; with Ning Bizhen's strength, there was no need to worry.

Before leaving, Li Zhangsheng came before that skeleton, spent some materials to quickly assemble a coffin, placed the skeleton inside, and buried it in that large pit.

Looking at that dust-covered prayer mat, Li Zhangsheng thought of the prayer mat in Danwang Biefu that contained the refining formula for the Imitation Demon Refining Pot.

Unfortunately, even though Li Zhangsheng tore the prayer mat to shreds, he still did not find anything useful.

"Sure enough, I overthought it."

Li Zhangsheng shook his head, mounted Aixi in one motion, and as Aixi started up, he took the opportunity to retract Kailan and Adai.

In a flash of speed, Aixi flew high up, charged straight into the Gale Layer, and flew rapidly in the direction of Yuanling Academy.

When they were close to the Academy District, Li Zhangsheng switched to the Light-Dark Pupil Bird, and only then did he return to Yuanling Academy and release these remains in the backyard of the Number One Courtyard.

By the time Li Zhangsheng returned to Jushi Ridge, more than an hour had passed.

There was no help for it; Aixi's speed was too fast, far exceeding the Unicorn Pegasus carriage from before they arrived.

During this short period, Ning Bizhen did not encounter any accidents, and after she and Li Zhangsheng finished loading the remaining five Lord-level remains, they rode the Three-Legged Fire Crow together and began to return to Yuanling Academy.

After the Three-Legged Fire Crow reached the Demon King level, the temperature on its body had increased significantly, reaching about one hundred degrees.

However, Li Zhangsheng's current physical strength was comparable to Ning Bizhen's, so this bit of temperature naturally would not affect him.

The Three-Legged Fire Crow transformed into a Lihuo Changhong, and in less than half an hour, it returned to the Yuanling Academy.

"Bizhen, you also know that the Milaodingyuanzhu is of great use to me, so I will accept it without standing on ceremony; this Ice Soul Cold Crystal and the Yuanhua Treasure Pill are for you."

Before entering seclusion, Li Zhangsheng handed the two items to Ning Bizhen.

"It would be too wasteful for me to take the Yuanhua Treasure Pill; it would be better for you to use it yourself, or at the very least, you could give it to your second uncle or second aunt."

Ning Bizhen did not take the half-bottle of Yuanhua Treasure Pill, only taking the Ice Soul Cold Crystal.

Li Zhangsheng shoved the Jade Bottle into Ning Bizhen's hand and said, "Take it; use it for your Six-Armed Naga, and if there are any left over, you can just bring them back."

The Yuanhua Treasure Pill can only increase the probability of a Demon Pet breaking through to the Lord rank by thirty percent; if one is unlucky enough, it is possible that this entire half-bottle will go to waste.

However, Li Zhangsheng believed that with Ning Bizhen's luck, perhaps a single Yuanhua Treasure Pill would be enough for the Six-Armed Naga to complete its breakthrough.

The Six-Armed Naga was a 'birthday gift' Li Zhangsheng had given her, so it naturally held considerable significance for both of them.

As for Li Zhangsheng's own Demon Pets, apart from the Crowned Blazing Bird and the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast, all his other official Demon Pets had already reached the Lord rank.

The Crowned Blazing Bird and the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast both possess top-grade quality and are one hundred percent certain to reach the Lord rank; using it on them would be too wasteful, and secondly, it might be detrimental to their future growth.

As for Li Zhangsheng's Temporary Spirit Pet, it only needs to go with the flow.

The Six-Armed Naga is also the only Leader rank Demon Pet in Ning Bizhen's possession; after half a year of cultivation, the bellicose Six-Armed Naga has been improving every day and has now reached the Leader 6th Rank level, and he believes it won't be long before it can attempt to break through to the Lord rank.

"Then I will accept it."

This time, Ning Bizhen did not continue to decline and put away the half-bottle of Yuanhua Treasure Pill.

"See you tonight!"

After parting ways with Ning Bizhen, Li Zhangsheng locked himself in the backyard and began to refine these remains.

Crack— crack—

Adai was working hard to hack at the remains, continuously smashing the huge skeletons into fragments.

Even the remains of the Great Sun Fire Crow were easily hacked into fragments.

On the other side, Li Zhangsheng began to dissolve the hacked remains, gradually refining them into various types of Spirit Essence.

Through the efforts of Li Zhangsheng and Adai, the mountain of remains piled up in the backyard began to decrease rapidly.

By the time night fell, the mountain of remains in the backyard had been cleared, all having been completely processed by Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng looked at the refined Pale Cat Spirit Essence; because only the remains were left, he had only extracted a little over a bowl of Pale Cat Spirit Essence, and whether it could cause Baitian and Heiye to evolve remained an unknown.

As long as Baitian and Heiye evolve, his strength will surely be able to advance a step further.
