The transformation from Kun to Peng is a very mysterious process.

Because theoretically, the five major races of hairy, scaled, horned, feathered, and scorpionfish should not be interoperable. Even if a carp crosses the Dragon Gate and transforms into a dragon, it is an evolution within the scaled race and does not cross that boundary.

However, Kunpeng truly transformed from a giant aquatic fish into a golden-winged Peng, and the process in between is completely unknown. Therefore, the Canglong clan expelled Kunpeng from the "scale clan" long ago, believing that although Kun has no feathers, it is actually a kind of aquatic feathered clan... Anyway, the logic is rather far-fetched.

No one knew how long this giant Kun had lived, but he had a very mild temper (or to be more precise, he did not have much acquired vigilance). He only said that he had been alone since he was a child, and now he had perfected the secret bloodline practice, but he had not found a way to transform into a Peng, so he was very distressed.

Recently, it had a sudden idea. It planned to try whether if it kept jumping out of the water, its body could gradually adapt to the environment surrounded by air, and grow feathers like a roc. Just as it was about to do a whale out of water, it happened to meet two people flying through the air with swords, so it came over to ask.

After hearing what it said, Qiu Changtian roughly guessed why the Immortal Wanxiang sent them here.

The body of this Kun is so huge that even if it floats to the surface normally, it will have to push away waves of several hundred feet.

Just like what it said, "jump out of the water", it will definitely cause a tsunami that can stretch for thousands of miles. It would be strange if Penglai Yuqing Temple didn't have a headache.

"Benefits?" Ju Kun's tone was somewhat awkward, and he said slowly, "I can't think of anything I can give you..."

Xu Yinglian also fell silent, thinking that he couldn't just say "What do you have? Let us pick some." He only heard Senior Feng Lan laughing in his mind:

"Great, this is a fool! Ask it for the hardest scale at the base of its dorsal fin!"

Xu Yinglian hesitated slightly, because this made her feel immoral, but if she didn't bring it up, she really couldn't think of anything else to exchange for it, so she could only bite the bullet and say:

"Um, the scales at the base of your dorsal fin..."

"Sure." The giant Kun said with surprise, "The scale has been half-fallen off a long time ago, but it has not fallen off. It is very itchy. If you can help me get it off, it would be great."

"The hardness of this scale is very strong, and it can resist almost all attacks." Feng Lan also instructed her in the sea of ​​consciousness, "It will accompany Kun throughout his life, and will only fall off when he is about to transform into Peng. Therefore, it is extremely rare and extremely precious."

"In my time, every dorsal scale of a Kun was the property of the Kunpeng clan, and clan members were absolutely not allowed to give it away privately... You are so lucky to meet such a fool!"

This made Xu Yinglian feel even more guilty, so she asked politely:

"Besides the method of transforming into a roc, do you need anything else? We can also consider exchanging a part of your dorsal scales for it..."

"No more." The giant Kun said cheerfully, "You guys helped me, do you want anything else in exchange besides these scales?"

"I heard that there is a blood coral on the seabed nearby..." Qiu Changtian had just said half of the sentence when Xu Yinglian, who felt sorry for him, hit him in the abdomen with his elbow, and he swallowed the food back.

"That little red tree, no problem." Ju Kun said gently, "Come with me."

After saying that, it slowly sank into the water. A huge whirlpool gradually emerged on the sea surface, and countless sea water began to fill the hole left after it sunk.

Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian looked at each other for a moment, then hurriedly followed on their swords and dived into the sea.

There were no water monsters in the sea, and even the migratory fish were few and far between. It was obvious that the giant Kun's huge body was an extremely terrifying nightmare for any aquatic creature.

The two followed the giant Kun all the way down and finally saw a hazy red light appearing in front of them.

The blood coral was nearly several hundred feet high, with a huge crown spread out like a giant tree under the sea. Countless water snakes and monsters were circling around it, including quite a few old pythons with the aura of Nascent Soul, which made Qiu Changtian and Xu Yinglian secretly frightened.

The giant Kun didn't care at all and just swam towards the blood coral. The water current it brought seemed to bend the coral... Countless water snake monsters tried to block the giant Kun, but they couldn't even touch its body and were knocked all over by the huge water current.

Finally, a giant python with gray-scaled white snake blocked the giant Kun's path and cried out tremblingly:

"Ancestor! Why did you suddenly come to our clan's land?"

"Ancestor?" Qiu Changtian was stunned at first, then he reacted.

"Laozu" is the name used by the demon clan to refer to the immortal rank, but it is also used by weak demon clans to refer to powerful demons, just like some sales staff in modern society like to call their customers "Mr. So-and-so".

"I want that little red tree." Ju Kun didn't have any doubts and just answered.

"You want the sacred tree?" The white python was also frightened.

Their clan certainly cannot resist the ancestor Kunpeng, but the clan’s sacred tree is related to the evolution of future generations and must not be lost.

As the news spread that this powerful intruder was here to plot against the sacred tree, the entire water snake clan quickly became noisy and chaotic. Some water snakes planned to risk their lives to stop this giant Kun, but more of them were thinking about how to escape - what was the point of staying in the clan now that the sacred tree was gone?

Xu Yinglian was watching from the side, sighing in his heart: the request of the two cultivators and the difference in the thought of the giant Kun could actually affect the life and death of the entire demon race.

The contrast between the strong and the weak can be seen from this.

However, these monsters lived far away from Shenzhou, and it was estimated that they would never have any contact with humans in their lifetime, so Xu Yinglian felt a little compassion (or maybe because of Senior Phoenix in her sea of ​​consciousness, she did not have any bad feelings towards the monsters), and persuaded the giant Kun:

"We don't want the whole blood coral, we just want some of the powder."

The white python felt as if he had been pardoned: Take the powder? That's much easier!

In fact, as the sacred tree grows, some of its branches will also age. What many priests do every day is to peel off the aged hard outer shell from the sacred tree so that the branches inside can continue to grow.

So he quickly responded:

"We have powder! We have it! As much as you want!"

Seeing the two human cultivators say this, Ju Kun calmly gave in and said in a muffled voice:

"Then... bring some powder over. It can't be too little. Do you hear me?"

Soon, the entire water snake clan became busy, and for a while the blood coral was surrounded by all kinds of twisting and winding figures.

About half an hour later, hundreds of barrels of freshly produced blood coral powder were delivered to the back of the giant Kun. They were piled up like a small mountain, leaving the two men dumbfounded.

Wanxiang Immortal... How much powder did you ask for before? How many taels?

"What's the use of having so much of this stuff?" Qiu Changtian pretended to be confused, reached out to take some powder, and quietly scanned it to identify it.

Although he learned formations in Penglai, he also dabbled in alchemy knowledge.

The red powder has strong vitality and can be regarded as a rare wonder in the world. It can be used to heal injuries and also to make pills to strengthen the body, such as accelerating the cultivation of the marrow cleansing stage of the foundation-building realm and the root-seeking stage of the golden elixir realm.

In other words, taking it back and presenting it to the sect would be another great achievement!
