Gate of Immortality

The egg of Sword Feather Condor buzzed as Yang Shi could feel a strong life force inside it. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he thought about getting a flying mount. Getting a flying mount is a dream of many cultivators. Flying beasts are rare and very difficult to tame. If Yang Shi went to the capital and sold the egg of Sword Feather Condor, He might even get spirit stones as payment. People like Sword Feather Condor more because it can evolve into an Ancient Beast and can be a guardian beast for smaller clans.

This alone tells how precious are such beasts. Yang Shi glued to that egg as thin cracks spread over the surface of the egg. " Hurry! Give it your blood and sign a blood contract right now. This is a perfect time." Jin Yu shouted. Yang Shi bit his index finger as he dropped blood on it. The blood instantly got absorbed by the egg. But suddenly, it started sucking more blood from his finger. " The hell!" yang Shi suddenly remembered such things that happened in the past. It was precisely Jin Yu who sucked Yang Shi's blood like a vampire, from the golden egg.

"But this egg took a very small amount of blood compared to Jin Yu. Damn, Why you beasts like to suck my blood?" Yang Shi was vexed. " Well, I told you before. Your blood is just too rich in vitality and filled with a mysterious power. It's very beneficial to us beasts." Jin Yu shrugged. Yang Shi could only sigh as he focused on the egg. He could feel the life form inside it. The cracks spread as a blinding light came out from it. The spiritual qi surged around it as Yang Shi could see spirit of a giant bird. Its feather life glittering silver, one couldn't help but feel its fur. With its sharp eyes, one could feel the piercing gaze.  A heavy demonic qi soared to the sky. Yang Shi could see that its bloodline is even pure than its mother.

" Finally, all waiting." the lights scattered as Yang Shi rushed to see the beast. But Yang Shi's smiling face stiffened as he saw what hatched out of the egg.

It was a large, ugly raven. It was large as a calf. " Kaaa Kaaa."  It cried like a crow as it started rubbing its head against Yang Shi's leg. " Is this...Sword Feather Condor?" Yang Shi was bewildered. " Could it be you are some Immortal Dark Crow? No, wait! The script is wrong! Where is the image of that majestic bird with ferocious strength?" Yang Shi thought.

But unfortunately, that wasn't the case. No matter how Yang Shi looked at it, it didn't resemble a beast with a powerful bloodline. Yang Shi almost raged to pull his hair out of frustration. " Jin Yu, are you sure this the egg of Sword Feather Condor? Or somehow, the original egg was replaced by another egg?" Yang Shi asked Jin Yu. " It's hard to believe, but...It is a Sword Feather Condor." Jin Yu said with a deep voice. " I feel, due to the accident that happened while it was in the egg, it couldn't revert to its original form." Jin Yu muttered.

" Little guy, can you transform into the bird which was condensed by that light?" Yang Shi asked it with a pleading tone. The crow looked at Yang Shi with clear eyes as it nodded. Yang Shi's face turned happy as he saw the response. " At least it can understand human language." He thought. He took a few steps back. The crow emitted dazzling light as it grew in size. It almost became high as a one-story building. But when the light dissipated, Yang Shi's smile also vanished. It was still the same black crow, albeit with a bigger size.

Yang Shi felt he was going to vomit blood from anger. He was never been so much angry ever. " Scam! This is a fucking scam!" Yang Shi screamed in his heart. " Don't worry so much. Although this fellow is a bit ugly, I can feel it's already a peak rank Ferocious beast. Moreover, With its pure bloodline, it can easily advance to become an Ancient beast." Jin Yu explained in Yang Shi's mind.

" In the end, It's still a Ferocious beast. How can we reach Azure Wind City in a few days? I feel Uncle Mo's horses are better." Yang Shi snorted.

" You even didn't saw its power. How can you tell that its speed is slow?" Jin Yu asked angrily. Yang Shi was startled as he thought about it. It was a little odd to think this fellow can match the speed of a Sword Feather Condor. " Fine! You can come back to your original self." Yang Shi sighed. The crow nodded as it shrank back to normal. It flapped its wings and sat on the shoulders of Yang Shi. Yang Shi could only remain depressed as he went back to his room. He thought when the egg hatches, he would depart for Azure Wind City immediately. But now, he was mentally exhausted, so he just went to sleep. 

" Oh! Wait! Since you just came out of the egg, you must need nutrition. Here, Take this." Yang Shi took out a Demonic beast corpse and threw it on the ground. The black crow flapped its wings as it chewed the beast meat while standing on it. Fust in a few minutes, it finished eating the flesh of the beast, which was large as a bull. Yang Shi turned speechless as he saw the gluttony of this little bird.

"Ugh, I am going to sleep." Yang Shi muttered as he fell on the bed with his tiered body.

He slept very soundly, as he didn't know how much time had passed. But then, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. " Master Yang!" Someone shouted from outside. " Mm? Who is it?" Yang Shi yawned as he got up. " Eh? It's already morning?" Yang Shi looked through the window. " Master Yang, someone wishes to meet you?" The servant bowed as Yang Shi opened the door. " Me? Who is it?" Yang Shi was surprised. " Master Yang! He is saying he is from the Lan family of Eastern Valley Town." the servant said.

" Lan family?! Where is he?" Yang Shi became pensive as he rushed to the gate. There, he saw a middle aged man standing. " Ahh! Yo-you are young noble Yang!" That middle aged man startled as he saw Yang Shi. " Aren't you the butler of uncle Lan?" Yang Shi referred to the Lan Xiaozi, father of Lan Yue. " Ah! Young noble still remember this old man." The middle aged man smiled. " Please, come inside." Yang Shi brought him to his house. " Tell me, what happened? Why you came here?" Yang Shi asked in surprise.

" Young noble, you should already know about the enmity between Lan family and Li family. After you killed several of their powerful guards, Li family's strength got weaker. But after a few days, their young master, Li Changfeng came back. He had gotten a firm foothold in the outer sect of the Golden Sun Sect. He and another three Primordial Spirit realm experts came to the Li family, as they joined their hands." The middle aged man sighed.

" What! Is Lan Yue and other are alright?" Yang Shi became anxious. " Fuck, I should have killed all of them." Yang Shi cursed.

" Thankfully, Young miss and Patriarch salvaged the situation." The middle aged man's tone became strange. " Salvaged? Then why did you come here? Tell me clearly!" Yang Shi became impatient. " Uhh... The thing is... Young miss had killed all the disciples of the Golden Sun Sect." The middle aged man slowly said. Yang Shi became stunned.

" You mean, she is the one who killed Li Changfeng and three other Primordial Spirit realm experts?" Yang Shi asked in a weird voice. " Yes, She was asking your help because she killed them. Now, she is panicked as we can't really face those sects. That why she asked for your help."

" Ok, tell me in detail."
