[Chapter 104] Mythical Beast Suzaku
[Chapter 104] Mythical Beast Suzaku
The steward handed the identity jade card back to Nangong Chenyu: "Here, you are now an inner disciple of Yunjue Palace."
After a pause, the steward continued, "Your salary for this month has been paid. Starting next month, you will be able to receive the salary for an inner sect disciple."
The monthly salary of an inner disciple of Yunjue Palace is equal to the salary of an outer disciple for three months, and the monthly salary of a direct disciple is equal to the salary of an inner disciple for three months.
Even the outer disciples of Yunjue Palace receive more monthly salary than the direct disciples of most sects.
This is also one of the reasons why everyone wants to join Yunjue Palace.
"Thank you very much."
Nangong Chenyu took the jade identity card and planned to leave.
"Wait." The steward hurriedly stopped him and said, "After becoming an inner sect disciple, you still need to light a soul lamp."
The steward took out an ordinary soul lamp and placed it in front of Nangong Chenyu, and explained: "The soul lamp is lit to prevent the disciples from encountering danger when they go out for training, so that the sect can send people to rescue them. It will not have a bad impact on you."
Nangong Chenyu had lit a soul lamp in his previous life, so he naturally knew the function of the soul lamp. He immediately stretched out his index finger and pointed it at his forehead. Soon a ball of purple-black soul fire flew out from his forehead and was pulled by him into the soul lamp.
The manager came out from the counter and was about to light the soul lamp for Nangong Chenyu himself. But as soon as he came out, he saw that the soul lamp was already lit.
The light emitted by the soul lamp is purple-black, looking noble and a bit mysterious.
So far, this is the first time that the steward has seen someone's soul lamp of this color.
He frowned and stared at the soul lamp in front of him, muttering, "I remember that the soul lamp lit by Brother Lei Linggen didn't seem to be this color."
He was the one who engraved the jade identity cards for all new disciples. He remembered clearly who had what spiritual roots.
Nangong Chenyu pretended not to hear the steward's mumbling and asked, "Does the steward have anything else to say?"
"No, no more."
After saying that, the steward remembered something else: "Oh, by the way, you are now an inner sect disciple. Go back to your original residence to pack up, and then you can go to Yunwu Peak to choose a cave for cultivation."
The spiritual energy of the mountain where the inner disciples live is richer than that of the mountain where the outer disciples live, and one person lives in one cave.
"No need. Ye Yisheng and I will live in Yunmiao Peak from now on."
Compared to the mountain where the inner disciples live, the spiritual energy of the mountain where the elders live is naturally richer. Yunmiao Peak is one of the peaks with the richest spiritual energy in Yunjue Palace, and there are few people there.
Since Daoist Master Haoyan agreed to let him and Ye Yisheng live in Yunmiao Peak, they naturally would not be so hypocritical as to give up such a good training environment and choose an inferior training place.
"That's okay." The manager waved his hand, indicating that Nangong Chenyu could leave.
Nangong Chenyu turned around and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something: "Manager, do you know how to obtain the sect's robes?"
"New disciples can get two sets of sect robes for free, and disciples above the foundation-building stage can get two sets of robes for free after breaking through a major realm. In addition, sect robes can be exchanged for contribution points."
At this point, the steward pointed upstairs and said, "If you want to exchange contribution points for robes, you can go to the second floor."
"Thank you very much."
Nangong Chenyu immediately went to the second floor of the storage room.
As soon as he reached the second floor, he saw that the containers were filled with hairpins, robes, belts, tabi, and boots.
A complete set from head to toe.
"What do you want to exchange?"
The person asking the question was Lu Qiyuan, a disciple of the manager of the Miscellaneous Goods Pavilion, who had reached the late stage of foundation building.
"Let me take a look first." Nangong Chenyu looked at the contribution points required for various things one by one, and then said to Lu Qiyuan: "Brother, please give me eight sets from head to toe."
"Eight sets?" Lu Qiyuan stretched out his hand and made the gesture of eight, asking uncertainly.
Nangong Chenyu nodded: "Yes, eight sets."
He is now only wearing one of his sect's robes, as the other one was torn to pieces by lightning when he was undergoing the tribulation.
In Yunjue Palace, if you are seen by the disciples of the Discipline Hall without wearing the sect's robes, ten contribution points will be deducted at a time. If you don’t have contribution points, you can use spirit stones instead. Ten contribution points can be exchanged for one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Moreover, compared to the clothes sold outside, the quality of Yunjue Palace is better and the price is cheaper.
Eight sets require a lot of contribution points. Lu Qiyuan couldn't help but look at Nangong Chenyu: "Do all eight sets need to be of the same level?"
Nangong Chenyu nodded: "Yeah."
"Please wait a moment, Junior Brother."
After preparing what Nangong Chenyu needed, Lu Qiyuan fiddled with his abacus and said, "A total of 1,200 contribution points are needed."
Nangong Chenyu handed his identity jade token to Lu Qiyuan.
After deducting twelve thousand, Nangong Chenyu still has four hundred contribution points.
Seeing the name on the identity jade card, Lu Qiyuan's attitude towards Nangong Chenyu became a little more flattering. He handed the identity jade token back to Nangong Chenyu with both hands and said with a smile: "Junior brother, this is your identity jade token."
Nangong Chenyu put away his robe and other things, thanked Lu Qiyuan, and left the storage room.
Yunmiao Peak.
As soon as Nangong Chenyu got off the back of the white crane, he saw a red light rising into the sky in the courtyard.
He walked quickly into the courtyard and saw Nangong Suhao was enveloped by a contract formation. The contract object connected to Nangong Suhao was the red egg.
"Brother Jun."
Without Nangong Chenyu asking, Jun Han explained: "Just now your elder brother said he would make barbecue for you. But when he was peeling the monster skin, he accidentally cut his hand and blood dripped onto the spirit beast bag on his waist."
"Then the red egg in the spirit beast's bag flew out by itself and sucked your brother's blood for a long time. Then it happened like what you saw."
Nangong Chenyu asked a question that had nothing to do with cattle and horses: "Brother Jun, did you practice body training after building your foundation?"
"Yes, Master is very strict with Su Hao."
"That's all right."
As soon as Nangong Chenyu finished speaking, the voice of Taoist Haoyan suddenly rang out.
"What are you doing again?"
The reason why Taoist Haoyan asked this was because three months ago, when Nangong Chenyu untied the black jade and the spiritual liquid was exposed, a white light shot up into the sky.
It was daytime that day, and if Taoist Haoyan had not lived in Yunmiao Peak, he would not have been able to discover it.
"Master."
"Meet the Grand Elder."
Daoist Hao Yan looked at the red egg: "This is..."
Jun Han: "We don't know what kind of monster's egg it is."
Suddenly, flames ignited all over the red egg.
The contract is completed.
Nangong Suhao's cultivation began to rise.
Several people turned their eyes to him and saw a red pattern between his eyebrows. Before the few people could see what the red pattern was, it flashed and disappeared.
Not long after, Nangong Suhao's cultivation level rose from the late stage of foundation building to the peak of foundation building, and then from the peak of foundation building to the half-step golden elixir stage.
The speed of the improvement in cultivation level made several people stunned.
Suddenly, a "cracking" sound was heard, and the eyes of several people shifted from Nangong Suhao to the red egg.
The red egg is still burning.
Several people with excellent eyesight saw cracks appearing all over the red egg.
As time went by, the cracks on the red egg grew bigger and bigger.
With two "click" sounds, the eggshell was pecked and the red bird's beak was revealed.
Several people stared at the red egg without blinking.
The bird's beak then pecks at the eggshell.
When one third of the eggshell was pecked, the flames burning around the eggshell completely dissipated.
The contents of the egg were also fully revealed.
The one who had the biggest reaction was Nangong Suhao: "What the hell! It's actually a chicken."
He contracted a chicken!
His contracted beast is a chicken!
Something that Nangong Suhao mistook for a "chicken" came out of the egg. It didn't look at anyone else, but stared at Nangong Suhao for ten seconds.
Then he flew up and pounced towards Nangong Suhao.
"You are the chicken! You weak chicken!"
It flapped its wings and pecked at Nangong Suhao.
Nangong Suhao exclaimed: "The chicken has become a spirit!"
The "chicken" was so angry that it was about to smoke.
A man and a "chicken" chased each other in the yard.
"Someone is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Hao Yan had disappeared from the spot.
The top of Yunmiao Peak.
"Greetings, Grand Elder." The Palace Master and several elders saluted.
"Why are you here?" Daoist Hao Yan asked as he sat down.
"We saw some strange phenomena on your mountain just now. We were a little curious, so we thought of coming over to take a look." The Palace Master replied.
"I just refined a ninth-grade spiritual weapon."
As he spoke, Taoist Haoyan took out something the size of a palm. Before the others could see what it was, he put it away.
The palace masters and others: "..."
The Great Elder poked his hand and said with a thick face and a smile: "Grand Elder, can you show it to us?"
Daoist Master Hao Yan glanced at the Great Elder and then looked at the others: "You guys want to see it too?"
Several people nodded in unison: "I want to see it!"
"I won't show it to you." Daoist Hao Yan waved his hand: "Hurry up and leave. Don't come here if you have nothing to do."
The palace master and his companions looked at each other and could only leave Yunmiao Peak with regret. Taoist Hao Yan's cultivation is much higher than theirs. If they don't leave on their own, they will probably be beaten up by Taoist Hao Yan and thrown out of Yunmiao Peak.
In a small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Nangong Chenyu processed the half-skinned monster, then shouted to the fleeing Nangong Suhao, "Brother, I've processed the monster meat, you come and roast it."
Nangong Suhao was just about to say that the "chicken" was chasing him, but the "chicken" flew to Nangong Chenyu's feet and rubbed Nangong Chenyu's calf in a flattering manner.
Nangong Suhao felt like he had suffered 10,000 points of critical hit.
Obviously, the "chicken" is his contracted beast, but the "chicken" does not listen to him as its master and even pecks him.
It’s so unfair!
With a messy hair, Nangong Suhao slowly approached Nangong Chenyu. The reason why he moved slowly was because he was afraid that the "chicken" would suddenly attack him.
Looking at the embarrassed Nangong Suhao, Nangong Chenyu reminded him: "Brother, it is your contracted beast, you can restrain it with the contract."
"Chicken" snorted coldly.
Nangong Chenyu raised his foot and kicked the "chicken", kicking it two meters away: "I'm talking to my big brother, why are you humming?"
Turning over, the "chicken" didn't say anything, and ran to Nangong Chenyu's feet and squatted.
Nangong Suhao's eyes widened.
This "chicken" is his contracted beast, right? ? ?
Why does it feel like my second brother is more like its owner?
Jun Han said to Nangong Suhao who was standing still: "I have everything ready."
Nangong Suhao turned around and saw a fire burning in front of Jun Han and the grill was already set up.
After putting the monster meat on the grill, Nangong Suhao finally had time to ask, "Xiao Yu, how do you use a contract to restrain a contracted beast?"
"Come here, I'll tell you a formula."
When Nangong Suhao approached, Nangong Chenyu stretched out his index finger and pointed at his forehead.
Soon Nangong Chenyu withdrew his hand: "Okay."
A formula suddenly appeared in Nangong Suhao's mind. After memorizing it, he looked at the "chicken" with ill intent.
The "chicken" seemed to sense something, and looked up to meet Nangong Suhao's gaze. Its whole body trembled, and it threatened: "If you dare to mess around, I will set you on fire."
Jun Han reminded Nangong Suhao: "Get along well with it."
Nangong Suhao looked depressed, it was obviously the "chicken" who didn't get along well with him.
"Don't call it a chicken anymore." Jun Han said again.
Glancing at the "chicken", Nangong Suhao was puzzled: "It's just a chicken. If I don't call it a chicken, what should I call it?"
Jun Han: "It's not a chicken."
Nangong Suhao looked left and right, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that it was just a chicken.
"Xiao Yu should know it, right?" Jun Han was not sure whether his guess was correct, so he did not say it directly.
Nangong Chenyu: "It's Suzaku."
Suzaku raised his head proudly.
"The mythical beast Suzaku? Suzaku, one of the four spirits of heaven and earth?" Nangong Suhao looked suspicious: "I see, why do they look so different?"
Zhuque gave Nangong Suhao a look of disdain: "You are blind, so it's no wonder you can't recognize this divine beast."
He was actually despised by his own contracted beast! Nangong Suhao snorted: "If you look like this, anyone would say you are a chicken."
"Who are you calling a chicken?" Zhuque said in a childish voice, gnashing his teeth a bit: "You weak chicken!"
Nangong Chenyu kicked Suzaku again: "My elder brother is your master, please respect him."
Zhuque walked back to Nangong Chenyu's feet: "Then he is not allowed to call me a chicken anymore."
"You are not a chicken, you are Suzaku." Nangong Suhao said readily.
Zhuque snorted twice to show his willingness to make peace.
Jun Han suggested: "Give it a name!"
After thinking for a while, Nangong Suhao looked at Zhuque and said, "From now on, you will be called Shao Su."
Suzaku protested: "It doesn't sound good. I want a majestic and powerful name."
Nangong Suhao thought: Even if I give you a mighty and domineering name, you still look like a chicken!
But he said: "How about calling you Tiedan, Ergou, Goudan, Tiezhu, Choudan, Gousheng, ..."
The more Suzaku listened, the angrier he got. Just as he was about to fly up to peck at Nangong Suhao, Nangong Chenyu kicked him first: "The barbecue will be cooked soon. If you want to fight, go outside."
If the man and the beast really fight, the barbecue will definitely be ruined.
Suzaku's attention was diverted: "I want to eat barbecue too."
"I baked it." Nangong Suhao said.
Zhuque is flexible: "I suddenly think the name Shao Su is very good. I will be called Shao Su from now on."
“Heh~” Nangong Suhao gave a piece of the roasted meat to Jun Han first, then to Nangong Chenyu, and finally he ate a piece himself.
But he said to Suzaku, "Only three pieces are cooked. Please wait a little longer."
Suzaku had never eaten barbecue before, and seeing the three people eating with relish, it kept swallowing its saliva.
