Chapter 442 -439: The Three-legged Golden Crow and the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book

“Don’t worry, Second Senior Brother, I understand,” Qin Feng strolled through the variety of spiritual medicine gardens opened up by his Second Senior Brother on Heavenly Snake Ridge. His eyes continuously swept over the various spiritual medicines and spirit plants, pondering which ones were suitable for transplanting into the Demon Refining Pot, while nonchalantly responding to Hao Shicheng.

Asking him to focus on cultivating spiritual medicines?

You must be joking; where would he find the time for that?

Qin Feng had long since decided to select a few Spiritual Beasts from within the Demon Refining Pot specifically tasked with overseeing the spiritual medicines.

For instance, the fifth layer of space contained several types of Spiritual Birds with innate spiritual intelligence and gentle dispositions, perfect for caretaking duties. With spells at their disposal, he wasn’t worried about their ability to tend to the spiritual medicines.

In fact, many Demon Beasts greatly enjoyed staying beside spiritual medicines, taking better care of them than most. However, within the Demon Refining Pot, they could only serve Qin Feng, absorbing the fragrance of the spiritual medicines to nourish their inner Demon Energy, with no other benefits.

Moreover, Qin Feng had been considering whether to later seize the opportunity to tame a few demon spirits that had transformed from vegetation, preferably those transformed from spiritual medicines. They were the true experts at caring for various spiritual medicines.

However, such beings were rare, and their discovery depended on future opportunities. If fate allowed, he could encounter them soon; if not, he could only look on enviously.

In the entire Beast Taming Sect’s Spiritual Medicine Garden, there were only a few youthful boys and girls transformed from spiritual medicines to help tend to them. It wasn’t that the Sect didn’t want more; it was mainly due to the strong medicinal properties and abundant spiritual energy of the spiritual medicines, which made it less likely for ordinary vegetation to develop spiritual intelligence.

Even those rare wild spiritual medicines that did develop spiritual intelligence often failed to transform before they were devoured by other creatures attracted to their rich fragrance and potent effects.

Even after transformation, they were frequently coveted by other Demon Beasts.

After all, already capable of transformation, the effectiveness of such spiritual medicines was immense, as one could imagine.

As such, each transformed spiritual medicine was considered a delicacy akin to Tang Sanzang’s flesh in the eyes of other Demon Beasts. This was the reason why transformed vegetation spirits were common, yet transformed spiritual medicine spirits were so rare.

Hao Shicheng watched as Qin Feng carefully selected and dug up various spiritual medicines from his own gardens, feeling both pained and reassured.

It hurt because he had painstakingly cultivated these spiritual medicines, watching over their growth.

Reassured because he felt that, at last, someone from his lineage supported him. Apart from himself, there was finally another Sect member interested in growing spiritual medicines.

After all, Qin Feng wouldn’t completely exhaust his gardens. From each type of spiritual medicine, he dug up, at most, only thirty percent, leaving the majority behind. Thus, Hao Shicheng wasn’t worried about running out in the future. Let Qin Feng have his way; as long as it eventually helped his junior brother understand the joy of growing spiritual medicines.

As Qin Feng excavated each type of spiritual medicine, Hao Shicheng would thoroughly explain how to nurture each kind, the ideal environments for their growth, and other related issues. Then, not quite reassured, he copied his many years of accumulated experience onto a Jade Scroll and handed it to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng casually stored it into the Demon Refining Pot, letting the few Spiritual Birds figure it out for themselves.

Finally, after touring all the spiritual medicine gardens of his Second Senior Brother, he left, feeling completely satisfied.

He thought it might be good to ask the Alchemy Hall, which managed all the Sect’s spiritual medicine gardens, for a batch of spiritual medicine seeds to scatter in the fifth-layer space after some time.

After all, the vast space was too large to be filled solely with the spiritual medicines transplanted from the Second Senior Brother’s gardens.

Additionally, since the fifth layer was intended to primarily feature various Spiritual Birds, he wanted to transplant more vegetation and spiritual trees in there, which would provide convenient nesting for the birds and satisfy their daily consumption with the fruits of spiritual trees and other exotic flora.

Having returned to his Cave Mansion, Qin Feng stretched out his hand and summoned a small green bird, no bigger than a fist but with tail feathers over a foot long.

“Chirp chirp…”

The green bird stood on Qin Feng’s palm, its shiny black eyes brimming with life.

It gently pecked Qin Feng’s hand as a sign of submission.

Qin Feng stroked its smooth feather and felt content in his heart.

The green bird was beautiful, somewhat resembling the Phoenix-Tailed Sparrow, yet it belonged to a different category of Spiritual Bird.

Contained within it was a trace of Qingluan bloodline, not strong but rather diluted.

This was because the green bird was not a direct descendant of the Qingluan, but rather had a bloodline that had gone through several iterations, so naturally, it wasn’t very powerful.

However, Qin Feng found this green bird quite remarkable—it bore a slight resemblance to the legendary Qingluan.

This was also a particularly intelligent and fully spirited bird he had specifically requested from the Internal Affairs Hall.

Because from the very beginning, he had chosen the Green Bird as the Demon King of the fifth layer of the Demon Refining Pot to nurture.

Despite the Green Bird’s body being only the size of a fist, its cultivation had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment. With just a bit of cultivation from Qin Feng, it would soon be able to advance to Demon Core.

Moreover, so long as the resources were sufficient, he could continuously purify its bloodline and extract enough Qingluan heritage from it. Qin Feng was confident he could nurture it to the Purple Mansion Realm within a few years.

Having placed the Green Bird into the Demon Refining Pot, Qin Feng directly activated the laws within the pot to refine another bird that also possessed the Qingluan bloodline, the Green Feathered Phoenix Head Bird, purifying its bloodline and merging it into the Green Bird.

In just about a quarter of an hour, the fusion was complete.

At this point, the Green Bird’s strength hadn’t shown any improvement on the surface, but it wouldn’t take long for it to understand the bloodline divine powers of the Green Feathered Phoenix Head Bird, and naturally, it would make progress.

Furthermore, in Qin Feng’s Demon Refining Pot, there was no shortage of pure spiritual energy and various spiritual elixirs for the Green Bird.

With these resources accumulating, even a lazy and gluttonous pig could cultivate to the peak of Demon Core within a few years, let alone a Green Bird that had been carefully selected by the Internal Affairs Hall for its exceptional intelligence and spirit.

In fact, the disciples of the Internal Affairs Hall did not dare to cut corners with him. When he asked for a Green Bird with the strongest spirituality and the fastest cultivation speed, they went to the location where the Vermilion Bird Lineage specifically nurtured Green Birds and compared them all. In order to meet Qin Feng’s requirements, they even gave up on a few Green Birds that had already formed their Demon Cores and selected this one instead.

And this Green Bird did not disappoint Qin Feng’s expectations. It quickly figured out the bloodline divine powers that originally belonged to the Green Feathered Phoenix Head Bird. With the power of two bloodlines combined, the Qingluan bloodline within it was also naturally enhanced considerably.

In reality, when disciples of the Beast Taming Sect wished to nurture their spiritual beasts, they would infuse bloodlines from other demon beasts of the same origin into their spiritual beasts using secret techniques passed down within the sect. However, their methods of fusion were certainly not as complete as Qin Feng’s direct fusion with the Demon Refining Pot. As a result, they not only consumed more resources but also received less in return, and it was not as convenient as Qin Feng’s method.

After sensing the Green Bird’s pace of progress, Qin Feng nodded happily.

Once the Green Bird adapted to its current strength and bloodline inheritance, it would soon succeed in core formation under his unrestrained resource cultivation. At that time, he would help it merge again.

In this respect, Qin Feng even surpassed the founding ancestors of the Beast Taming Sect.

For instance, the Supreme Elder of the Vermilion Bird Lineage took twenty to thirty thousand years to cultivate a spiritual bird containing a hint of Vermilion Bird bloodline to become a Vermilion Bird. This not only consumed innumerable resources but also took an amount of time that would make most cultivators who haven’t become immortals feel despair.

But Qin Feng was different. With the Demon Refining Pot at his disposal, he did not need so much time. As long as he had sufficient resources, he could find another spirit bird with the same source of bloodline and perfectly merge them. This was unlike his fellow sect members who had to painstakingly refine the essence blood of many spiritual beasts for gradual fusion.

It was only a pity that the Demon Refining Pot had only nine layers, and nine was the limit. At most, he could only nurture nine spiritual beasts. Otherwise, if there were no limits, he could surely cultivate countless top-level spiritual beasts, even divine beasts. If that were the case, wouldn’t the entire cultivation world be at his mercy?

However, Qin Feng quickly suppressed the greed within his heart and stopped thinking about it.

To be able to cultivate nine spiritual beasts in this way was already quite remarkable. Ordinary immortals couldn’t even cultivate one, and if he was not content and allowed greed to prevail, he might instead invite disaster due to his desires.

After calming his thoughts, he quickly turned his attention to the other types of spiritual beasts.

Since he could only cultivate nine spiritual beasts and the Qingluan of the fifth layer was already decided, then he would give some extra consideration to the other spiritual beasts.

The Swallowing Sky Toad, limited by its ancestral bloodline and even though it was a top-level spiritual beast bloodline, was different from divine birds like the Qingluan.

The Qingluan was of Phoenix species, similar to a True Dragon. Although not as formidable as the Heavenly Phoenix, it was still a branch of the Phoenix Clan. As divine beasts, they inherently possessed potent bloodlines. Birds like the Green Bird contained a hint of divine beast bloodline and could potentially become divine birds by continuously purifying the Qingluan bloodline within them in the future.

Just like various spiritual snakes and Jiao Dragons that yearn for dragon transformation, although very few ultimately transform into dragons, this is their hope, a direction for cultivation.

However, the ancestors of the Swallowing Sky Toad were at most great powers in the Immortal Realm. Not to mention that they could not compare to top-level divine beasts like dragons and phoenixes, they were even inferior to slightly lesser divine beasts like the White Tiger, Xuanwu, Qilin, and Roc. Additionally, the Swallowing Sky Toads basically do not mix blood with other types of spiritual toads. Therefore, the bloodline passed down by the Swallowing Sky Toads does not exhibit any ancestral return phenomenon, leaving them no choice but to cultivate quietly on their own.

Among the toad demon beasts, the Three-Legged Golden Toad fared the best.

The Three-Legged Golden Toad possessed the Treasure Falling Divine Power and was an extremely special existence.

Unless Qin Feng could find a Three-Legged Golden Toad, he already had no plans to merge other bloodlines into the Swallowing Sky Toad.

However, it was still possible for the other floors’ spiritual beasts.

Especially the Ruyi Golden Snake.

Qin Feng himself already had the strength to advance to the Purple Mansion Realm, but he intentionally suppressed his cultivation realm, wanting to accumulate a more substantial foundation and comprehend more Dao principles before advancing.

But if he could completely refine the Demon Refining Pot within a few years and fill the other layers’ spaces, with the corresponding spiritual beasts also gathered, he would be able to understand other laws in the shortest possible time and advance to the Purple Mansion.

And with so many spiritual beasts helping him comprehend the powers of laws, he believed his achievement of the Dharma Image would not be slow either.

Once he advanced to the Dharma Image Realm, infusing his Lifebound Spiritual Beast into the Dharma Image made it impossible to help the Ruyi Golden Snake integrate other bloodlines and gain additional Divine Skills.

Therefore, if he wanted his future Dharma Image to be even stronger, he needed to make some plans in advance.

However, at this point, especially after he began comprehending the Power of Laws, the Ruyi Golden Snake’s internal forces had gradually balanced out. The Five Elements were present, and light and darkness could be regarded as Yin and Yang. If other forces were rashly introduced, it might cause conflicts, so Qin Feng had become extremely cautious.

He did not want to make mistakes due to reckless integration. Moreover, given the current strength and Bloodline Level of the Ruyi Golden Snake, integrating with a lower level bloodline would be futile. Instead, it might confuse its bloodline and not bring any benefits or Divine Skills.

As for bloodlines stronger than its own, aside from a few formidable existences such as the Ba Snake, Tusha, Hua Snake, and Nine Infant at the level of Divine Beasts and Fierce Beasts, there was probably only the True Dragon.

Even ordinary Jiao Dragons were of little help to it, like the Fire Jiao Dragon from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave Heaven. Even if integrated, it would only slightly enhance the power of the Fire Element Divine Skills without offering other benefits.

But where could he find the traces of creatures like the Ba Snake, Tusha, or Nine Infant unless he went to the Primordial Ancestor Realm or the Heavenly Demon Great World?

As for the True Dragons, only the East Sea within the entire Biluo Great World possessed them.

Let alone that Qin Feng lacked the strength to capture a True Dragon from the Dragon Sea, even if he had the ability, he wouldn’t dare.

The strength of the East Sea Dragon Clan was formidable, much more so than the Beast Taming Sect.

Although the number of dragons in the clan itself was not great, they commanded countless members of the Sea Clan. The Water Clan army under them was more than ten times larger than the Spiritual Beasts of the Beast Taming Sect.

Moreover, during the Ancient Times, the Dragon Clan had always stood with the Human Clan and never betrayed Biluo. They had even suffered many losses during the Ancient Great Tribulation, so he felt uneasy about ruining the relationship between the two clans for his personal gain.

Therefore, Qin Feng now could only take a wait-and-see approach concerning the Ruyi Golden Snake.

Perhaps, deep within some Ancient Battlefields, there still lurked rarely seen Spiritual Snakes, or their bloodline descendants in certain dangerous lands. If he ever came across them, he would certainly not miss the opportunity.

Aside from the Ruyi Golden Snake, Qin Feng also needed to give proper consideration to the White Dragon and the Death Curse Crow.

With the White Dragon, the Light Principle was primarily focused. However, if he found the opportunity later, he might also be able to help it integrate bloodlines from other Giant Dragons.

Especially the descendants of the direct lineage of the Ancient Dragon Gods, the Seven-Colored Giant Dragon.

Although such dragons were rare, it was said that each one possessed tremendous strength. Once mature, they had the power at the peak of Super Demon Beasts, comparable to cultivators at the Primordial Spirit Realm. They were not only proficient in magic from various elements but also possessed powerful Sealing Divine Powers.

However, the Seven-Colored Dragons lived in the Giant Dragon World and were not as numerous as other Giant Dragon branches that had dispersed across various realms.

After careful consideration, Qin Feng didn’t ponder further.

If he encountered a suitable and powerful Giant Dragon in other worlds later, he would not be stingy to help the White Dragon integrate it. If he could cultivate the White Dragon to the Realm of the Dragon God, it would be of great benefit to him.

Moreover, what Qin Feng valued most was the Death Curse Crow.

The Crow species was somewhat special.

It was said that they contained a trace of the bloodline of the Three-legged Golden Crow from the royal family of the Demon Clan.

The Three-legged Golden Crow was a legitimate top-level Divine Beast species, overwhelmingly powerful, leading countless Demon Clans in the Heavenly Demon Great World with their singular clan’s strength.

Although the Death Curse Crow originated from the Netherworld Crow family, if it could integrate with other Crow Demon Beasts, it might trigger a trace of the Golden Crow bloodline, allowing the Death Curse Crow to awaken some of the Golden Crow’s bloodline inheritance.

With this thought, Qin Feng became contemplative.

While the Three-legged Golden Crow’s family was mostly adept at Sun True Fire, with extremely yang and rigid power within them, from extreme yang comes yin; it seemed they also mastered the most venomous Curse Technique.

The most formidable Curse Secret Technique known in the Cultivation World, the “Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book,” was rumored to be created by the Golden Crow Clan.

This Curse Technique was terrifying and deadly, cursing people without trace and killing invisibly. Even those who claimed to be undying and immortal within the Daluo Realm had fallen under this Curse Secret Technique.

During the Ancient Times, as the Primordial Human Clan and Demon Clan vied for control and Qi Fortune of the Primordial Great World, wanting to become the protagonists of that realm, it happened that a powerhouse from the Golden Crow Clan used the “Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book” to secretly harm an existence of the Daluo Realm from the Human Clan.

Although that Daluo cultivator escaped with his Primordial Spirit by a narrow margin, his Dharma Body, cultivated over countless years, was utterly destroyed. The substantial loss of his powers was a fact.

In truth, had it not been for a Strongest Expert intervening to stop further pursuit of his Primordial Spirit, it was very likely that not even his Primordial Spirit would’ve survived.

This matter caused a huge uproar at the time and had far-reaching effects. So much so that even now among the ancient tales passed down orally by Human Clan Cultivators, this event is still mentioned.

Qin Feng stroked his chin thoughtfully for a while.

He was pondering whether it would be possible to cultivate the Death Curse Crow into a Three-legged Golden Crow.

If the Death Curse Crow were to fuse with various crow bloodlines, perhaps it might give rise to Sun True Fire from extreme yin turning to yang.

If that wasn’t possible, given the Death Curse Crow’s natural talent for curse divine power, was there a chance it could obtain the “Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book” inheritance from the Golden Crow bloodline?

If he could acquire such a curse secret technique, deemed one of the strongest forbidden techniques, Qin Feng’s trump card would be formidable in the future.

Then, when facing powerful opponents he couldn’t match, using the “Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book” would surely be effective, cursing even Daluo Realm experts to the point where they would lose their Taoist body. Ordinary gods, demons, and immortals likely couldn’t withstand the Curse Power of the “Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book.”

It was just unknown whether the Death Curse Crow had the chance to obtain this inheritance or if there were restrictions on using the “Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book.”

Surely not just anyone could use it?

Moreover, employing curse techniques inevitably opposes the heavens and, if used to secretly attack those of greater cultivation than oneself, one couldn’t possibly avoid paying a price.

For example, when the Death Curse Crow casts its curses, small curses aren’t much of an issue, requiring only a bit of its internal power to cast, but for major curses, like the one that nearly dissipated the life force in his palm, the Death Curse Crow had to use its feathers as a conduit and consume most of its internal power to barely achieve that effect.

If it was that difficult even against him, cursing someone with a higher level of curse dao should logically require the consumption of something corresponding. It was just unclear what exactly would be consumed.

If it were simply power that was expended, that wouldn’t matter. Even if it required the sacrifice of other aspects of itself, like the feathers the Death Curse Crow used before, that would be no issue—worse comes to worst, it could just shed all its feathers and be bare for a while until they grew back.

However, if it consumed something like lifespan or qi fortune, that would be problematic.

In fact, to use the “Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book” might indeed require the sacrifice of something very important; otherwise, why would the Golden Crow Clan seldom use such a curse forbidden technique? Certainly, there were heavy considerations.

Otherwise, if they just cursed Human Clan Great Powers one by one, the Human Clan wouldn’t stand a chance to control the Primordial realm, and the Golden Crow Clan wouldn’t have taken their Ten Thousand Demons to dwell in the Void, claiming another Great World.

“Sigh…”

Qin Feng exhaled deeply, deciding not to ponder these matters any further.

The cost was currently irrelevant to him, after all. The Death Curse Crow was only an offshoot of the Netherworld Crow Clan, something of an oddity. It wasn’t even certain if it could awaken the bloodline inheritance of the Three-legged Golden Crow, so thinking too much about it now was pointless.

He stood up and left Heavenly Snake Ridge again to visit the Internal Affairs Hall, where he found the Vice Hall Master.

“Nephew Qin, why have you returned so soon?” Vice Hall Master Li Hong’s greying eyebrows rose, looking at Qin Feng in surprise, “Was there any issue with those Spiritual Birds I gave you earlier, or did they not meet your standards?

If they are unsuitable, just say the word, and I’ll have someone fetch better ones for you immediately.”

Being one of the sect’s current most promising talents, only Li Miaozhen from the White Tiger Lineage and Lianxing from the Creation Lineage in the Beast Taming Sect could compare with him.

Li Miaozhen’s formidable accumulation, much more substantial than any previous generations’ talents, especially since mastering the Refining Gold Qi divine skill, doesn’t need elaboration. She not only refined a large quantity of the extremely rare Geng Metal Divine Iron, but also absorbed significant amounts of the Geng Metal Divine Marrow, crucial in crafting Immortal Artifacts.

Though she didn’t practice as many Daoist paths as Qin Feng, her cultivation in the Geng Metal Dao was profound. She might not be a Sword Cultivator, yet she possessed the dominance of breaking all laws with the Geng Metal Dao!

Lianxing from the Creation Lineage has discovered fortune in an Otherworld, advancing to the Purple Mansion Realm. Her power is so profound that it surpasses many veteran Purple Mansion Cultivators.

Had Qin Feng not been younger by a few years and the Purple Mansion Realm no obstacle for him, the sect might have even regarded Lianxing more highly than him.

Aside from these two, the True Disciples of the sect’s other lineages seemed relatively ordinary in comparison.

It wasn’t that they weren’t strong or lacked talent. It was just that in terms of opportunities, they couldn’t match Qin Feng and the others, leading to their overall progress falling short.

Take, for instance, Wei Yan from the Strange Insect Lineage, a True Disciple who relies on the Undying Heavenly Silkworm and enjoys considerable cultivation from his lineage, his chances couldn’t compare to those of Qin Feng, Li Miaozhen, or Lianxing, hence his weaker strength.

Kong Xuan, the True Disciple of the Vermilion Bird Lineage, despite possessing the formidable Five-Colored Peacock and extraordinary talent, simply started later than Qin Feng, having only just reached the Golden Core Late Stage.

The current True Disciple of the Divine Bull Lineage is in a similar position to the Vermilion Bird Lineage. The one expected to be highly nurtured, Qi Hengshan from the White Elephant Branch, was defeated by Xue Baoshu, who then seized the True Disciple position.

In the Spiritual Ape Lineage, things proceeded normally; Yuan Powang, who wielded the Great Strength Divine Ape, rose to the occasion by defeating a well-known Inner Sect Disciple, securing the True Inheritance of the Spiritual Ape Lineage.
