Previously, he had exchanged for two farming practices and had only about three hundred merit points left.
In the Scripture Palace, some spells with attributes derived from the five elements were incredibly expensive. For example, the powerful thunder and lightning techniques that high-Level Qi Refinement could learn cost nearly a thousand merit points for just one.
Lin Yi could only try out this fire element technique first, which was also beneficial for taking care of the Fire Spirit Bird.
After two days, he noticed that the Fire Spirit Bird in the spirit pet bag was no longer as aggressive and appeared weak. Only then did he open the spirit pet bag and let it out.
Of course, he had made thorough preparations. He activated the defensive array in the cultivation cave mansion, layered the surrounding area with a thick layer of ice using Ice Arrow Runes, and held several Ice Seal Talisman in his hands.
When the Fire Spirit Bird came out of the spirit pet bag, it became extremely aggressive, spewing flames non-stop as it vented its dissatisfaction with being trapped in the bag.
Lin Yi paid no attention to it and walked straight out of the cave mansion, trapping the bird in the defensive array. With the current strength of this young Fire Spirit Bird, it was not enough to break the defensive array.
After the Fire Spirit Bird had finished spewing fire, he went over, picked it up, and put it back into the spirit pet bag. If he simply relied on feeding, it would take too long to wear down the bird’s aggressive nature.
Finally, after repeating this for several days, the Fire Spirit Bird became more docile and no longer attacked him.
Only then did he equip the [Junior Dung Cleaner] title and bring out Demon Beast Meat to feed the bird. The Fire Spirit Bird rushed up impatiently, immediately snatched the food into its mouth, and swallowed it after only a few chews.
After feeding, the Fire Spirit Bird seemed to have lost its hostility towards him.
“From now on, your name is not Fire Bird but Fire Feather,” Lin Yi said, reaching out to touch its head. When he first touched it, Fire Feather tensed up, and its flame-like feathers stood on end.
But upon seeing Lin Yi take out the spirit pet bag, the bird relaxed completely and started to enjoy the stroking, as if it had never been petted before.
Lin Yi called over Zhi Ling, who was running outside, and introduced her, “This is my little friend Zhi Ling. From now on, she’s your boss, understand?”
Fire Feather glanced at the tiny Zhi Ling and turned its head away, chirping twice as if scornfully mocking her.
Lin Yi chuckled lightly, took out an Ice Seal Talisman, and stuck it on Fire
Feather, “Zhi Ling, beat it up. It dares to disobey you.”
He used only a Great Achievement Level Ice Seal Talisman since the bird was just a young Fire Spirit Bird with strength equivalent to a mid to low-level Qi Refinement cultivator.
Under the effect of the Ice Seal Talisman, Fire Feather couldn’t move at all. The fire-element in its body was suppressed and not even a spark of flame could be expelled.
Zhi Ling nodded hard, jumped, and mounted on Fire Feather’s neck, beginning to beat it with her little claws.
Fire Feather retaliated by twisting its body and making angry chirping sounds.
Soon, after a period of beatings, Fire Feather had to submit under Zhi Ling’s little paws. It lowered its head and nuzzled Zhi Ling’s body.
“Fire Feather is such a good baby, come, eat.” Lin Yi smiled and stroked Fire Feather’s head, offering it a piece of Demon Beast Meat.
With tears streaming down its face, Fire Feather took the meat into its mouth. Its eyes were filled with grief and resentment. It would have preferred dying in Fire Fierce’s hands.
Thus, a month passed gradually. Fire Feather adapted completely to its life here, playing and fighting with Zhi Ling every day. Its aggressive nature had disappeared.
Lin Yi did not completely let Fire Feather roam freely. When practicing the Flame Flying Technique, he would also call it over. As he released the technique, Fire Feather would absorb the flames for practice, killing two birds with one stone.
Thanks to the [Junior Dung Cleaner’s] effect and a month of constant feeding, the liking between him and Fire Feather increased rapidly, even faster than expected.
Probably because it had suffered too much abuse from Fire Fierce Senior Uncle previously, it lacked affection in its heart.
Heng Yuan World also had a New Year’s holiday, and the day before the New Year, Lin Yi took two little buddies, rode on a flying boat, left the Inner Sect, and went to the Outer Sect to celebrate the New Year with Old Huang.
At this time, there wasn’t much festive atmosphere in the Liu Yun Sect’s Inner Sect. The long road to cultivation sometimes required several months of closed-door practice. People no longer care about their former friends and family, let alone a so-called holiday.
After Old Huang became a Deputy Assistant, his work was very leisurely, and he also moved into a new house near the Sinong Palace.
Coming to the Outer Sect, one could clearly feel the New Year’s atmosphere. Spring couplets were posted on the doors of some spirit farmer’s houses, and occasionally, the sound of children setting off firecrackers could be heard.
Seeing this familiar scene, a smile appeared on Lin Yi’s face. The smell of life in the mortal realm was the most comforting to ordinary people.
“Oh, Old Huang, you seem quite busy. Are the things ready?,” Lin Yi walked to the side of the Sinong Palace, saw that the courtyard door of Old Huang was not closed, walked in, saw him tidying up chicken meat in the courtyard, and said with a smile.
“Your lad finally came, nothing is prepared, just waiting for you to buy,” Old Huang said, turning his head unhappily.
Seeing Lin Yi having one little buddy on each shoulder, he couldn’t help but laugh: “You even brought these two protectors, this Fire Spirit Bird is really beautiful.
“I can’t possibly celebrate the New Year and leave the two little ones at home,” Lin Yi looked at Zhi Ling and Fire Feather on his shoulder, and said. He had visited Old Huang before and told him about his care for the Fire Spirit Bird.
Hearing Old Huang’s words, Zhi Ling chirped twice. Seeing this, Old Huang said with a smile, “Zhi Ling is also very beautiful.”
Then, he said to Lin Yi, “Little Lin, most of the New Year goods are ready. You go to Qing Yun City and look around. See what else you can buy. There will be performances in the city tonight. We can go and watch them.”
“Ok, Zhi Ling, Fire Feather, do you want to come with me, or stay here?” Lin Yi stretched out his hand, stroked the two little ones on his shoulder, and asked.
Zhi Ling hesitantly crawled into Lin Yi’s coat pocket, followed by Fire Feather, who followed suit.
“You two little things, do you think I would eat you?” Old Huang couldn’t help but laugh and scold.
Lin Yi drove the flying boat towards Qing Yun City. From the sky, he could see that some houses on the edge of the cultivation area seemed to have been destroyed.
He had heard of this situation. The winter in the Cultivation World was extremely cold. Some Monster Beasts in the mountains had no food to eat, so they would come down to find food, including invading Qing Yun City.
At this time, Liu Yun Sect would usually release some tasks, allowing Inner
Sect disciples to form teams to kill the Monster Beasts and earn Merit Points.
Arriving at the Qing Yun City Gate, Lin Yi put away his flying boat. In his spare time, he would continue to come here to liberate corpses and earn Virtue Points, just not as frequently as before.
“Senior Brother, take a look and see if there is anything you need. There are Martial Artists and girls who can be bought as servants or maids for your home,” said a voice nearby.
Lin Yi turned his head and saw a group of people tied up next to the city gate. There were men and women, apparently being sold. The man who had just shouted his sales was a low-level Qi Refinement cultivator.
He couldn’t help but shake his head. In the Cultivation World, such things often happen, given the harsh living environment.
The majority of cultivators seek to pursue the Immortal Way. It’s impossible for them to try to improve the living conditions of ordinary people like they did in the late Huaxia era.
“Who are you trying to attract? This is Brother Lin from the Inner Sect! Brother Lin, you’re here,” a familiar city guard chided, while laughing and greeting Lin Yi.
“Yeah, Disciple Wang, it is New Year after all. I’m just coming in to buy some stuff,” Lin Yi nodded and smiled, then entered the city of Qing Yun.
At this time, the entire city was filled with a festive New Year atmosphere, and many shops were decorated with red lanterns and festive ribbons.
He could see a few martial artists performing kung fu on the street, which was seriously mismatched with the market. In the Immortal City, where cultivators have the power to summon wind and rain, performing martial arts was like making a joke..
