Is this a Fire Crow?
Isn't this a Yang Fire Crow?
And it's a First-Order Perfection Yang Fire Crow!
In terms of strength, it's not inferior to a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator; in fact, because it's a Spirit Beast, its strength is even superior. Unless it's a powerful Genius like Lin Qingshu, who has comprehended Sword Intent, a Yang Fire Crow would pose a significant threat.
"The Fire Crow evolved into a Yang Fire Crow?"
Meng Yan looked at Crow's slightly familiar appearance and demeanor before daring to confirm that this was the Fire Crow that had been sunbathing in this courtyard not long ago!
This fact was simply too incredible!
He wouldn't be surprised if Crow recovered its strength or evolved into a Red Fire Crow or Candle Fire Crow, but the Yang Fire Crow form is extraordinary. It even has a chance to Breakthrough to the Third-Order and become a powerful Spirit Beast capable of contending with Golden Core Stage Cultivators!
"Hmm."
Facing Meng Yan's question, Qi Ping nodded in confirmation.
"Brother Qi, what a skillful method! It was indeed the right choice to contract the Fire Crow to be your pet!"
Looking at Crow, who had transformed into a Yang Fire Crow, Meng Yan also felt a hint of envy.
After all, who wouldn't envy a powerful and loyal pet?
However, he wasn't jealous. The Dao of Beast Taming is not a simple matter, and Crow would struggle to receive truly suitable cultivation if it stayed with him.
He has his own Immortal Dao path to follow, and Beast Taming will not be his choice.
Moreover, his ultimate goal is far higher than the Yang Fire Crow's upper limit!
Crow staying with Qi Ping is the best choice.
"It's just good luck, and Crow's own Aptitude is also good!" Qi Ping said modestly.
It was indeed Crow itself that was diligent enough!
When Crow came out, it paused slightly upon seeing the familiar courtyard and the muscular, explosive, two-legged beast.
Then it flew in front of Meng Yan, demonstrating its now fully recovered strength and even more powerful bloodline .
"Caw caw... (Big two-legged beast, your Crow Lord is doing great now!)"
"Alright, alright, I know how impressive you are!" Meng Yan looked at Crow's smug expression and immediately understood its meaning.
"Caw caw..."
Crow suddenly squawked twice, then solemnly bowed to Meng Yan with a serious expression, seemingly thanking him for his care during this period, before flying back to Qi Ping's shoulder.
"Crow is thanking you for your previous care! It said that if you ever need its help, you can find it..." Qi Ping explained on Crow's behalf.
"It also helped me, so it's mutual aid. Seeing it recover so well, I'm relieved," Meng Yan said with a shake of his head and a smile.
He didn't think he would ever need to ask Crow for anything.
In Meng Yan's goals, Golden Core is merely the starting point!
Could Crow still evolve into an even more powerful Spirit Beast with a stronger bloodline or revert to its ancestral form again?
"By the way, Brother Meng, speaking of that, I happen to have some matters I'd like to ask for your help with."
"Brother Qi, please speak freely. I will certainly not refuse anything within my ability!" Meng Yan patted his chest and promised.
His words were sincere. After their recent discussion of the Dao, he had already recognized Qi Ping as a friend in his heart.
Now, seeing Crow doing well with Qi Ping, he believed even more in Qi Ping's character.
Therefore, he believed that helping Qi Ping become stronger would only benefit him, not harm him.
He even hoped that Qi Ping would become even stronger, so that when those vortex disputes descended upon him, he would have an unexpected external helper.
Especially since Crow had evolved into a Yang Fire Crow, once it Breaks Through to the Second-Order, coupled with Qi Ping's strength, it might be able to turn the tide of battle at a crucial moment.
Of course, if he wanted Qi Ping to be there when he needed him, he felt it was best to provide Qi Ping with more help first.
Even if they became friends, it was still best to operate on a basis of mutual benefit.
"I want to contract another Spirit Beast with Divine Soul-type Talent. I wonder if Brother Meng has any channels to find one?"
"A Divine Soul-type Spirit Beast?"
"Yes!"
"Such Spirit Beasts are relatively rare, but there should still be some within the Sect. At this juncture, many people should be willing to sell Spirit Beast cubs. I'll find someone to ask for you, but it will take some time. Once I've gathered the information, I'll send you the Spirit Beast details via a communication talisman!"
"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Meng! I will certainly pay Brother Meng a remuneration then!"
"There's no need for remuneration. However, if Brother Qi is short on Spirit Stones, I have plenty and can help Brother Qi out..."
"How can that be?"
"Of course, it can! After all, I was the one who proposed an alliance with Brother Qi. Given my current situation, there will certainly be many battles in the future that will require your assistance, Brother Qi. If I don't give something in return, how can I possibly ask for help later? Moreover, there's something I need your help with recently, Brother Qi!"
"What matter? Brother Meng, please speak freely!"
"I'll tell you about that later. I heard from Old Gao that Brother Qi, you need Fire-attribute defensive Spells, Spirit Medicine, and First-Order High-level Fire-attribute Pill Formulas?"
"Yes, that's right. I was just about to tell you about that," Qi Ping nodded.
"Hmm, let me think..."
Meng Yan pondered for a moment, then spoke:
"The Pill Formula will take some time for me to get, but I do have the Spirit Medicine and Spells."
With that, Meng Yan took out a Jade Slip from his Storage Pouch.
A Jade Slip not only contains the textual information of a Cultivation Technique but usually also includes the Cultivation Technique's Concept, making it easier to comprehend than Cultivation Techniques recorded in books.
"This Jade Slip contains a set of First-Order Fire-attribute Spells. There are three sets of Spells within it: first, Flame Burst Art, which contains powerful impact and explosive force. Among First-Order Fire Spells, its attack power can rank in the first echelon."
"Second is the Flame Burst Body Technique, which can unleash extremely high speed in a short amount of time. Whether used in combat or for short-distance escape, it is a superior Spell!"
"Third is the Flame Burst Net. This Spell combines offense and defense, using offense as defense, most suitable for resisting high-intensity attacks, and can destroy the opponent's attack to the maximum extent with the power of Flame Burst."
"This set of Spells was given to me by my Master. Even Inner Sect Disciples of Qingyuan Sect find it difficult to obtain Spells of this level, Brother Qi. See if it's suitable..."
Then Qi Ping placed the Jade Slip to his glabella, and instantly sensed the Cultivation Technique content and its unique Cultivation Technique Concept with his Divine Sense.
This...
Qi Ping was instantly shocked by this set of Spells. In terms of the profoundness and Concept of the Cultivation Technique, the Wood Flame Art was completely incomparable!
He could be certain that the level of this set of Spells was definitely above First-Order High-level!
And what shocked Qi Ping even more was that he sensed the taste of True Meaning of Fire in the Cultivation Technique Concept!
This meant that comprehending this set of Spells would be of great benefit to Qi Ping in comprehending the True Meaning of Fire!
And once Qi Ping comprehended the True Meaning of Fire, cultivation in the Qi Refining Late Stage would be as easy as walking on flat ground, achieving twice the result with half the effort for Qi Ping!
If he could further comprehend the Dao Heart Realm, as Meng Yan said, the Foundation Establishment Realm could also be Broken Through in one go!
