Seeking Immortality

Or this mysterious and majestic cub is the "interesting little thing" that the strong man said. But the reason why Xu Qingfan rescued it from Xiao Heizui was not only because of the strong man's words and the cub. The mystery of the beast, but more importantly, since Xu Qingfan saw this cub, he noticed an extremely complex emotion in the eyes of this cub. The complexity of this emotion is no less complex than that of humans. . Among the spiritual pets Xu Qingfan has ever seen, Xiao Hei's spirituality is already the highest. He can easily understand various complex orders given by Xu Qingfan, but compared with the complex emotions of this mysterious little beast, it is no less complex than that of humans. , but far inferior.

It is precisely because of this feeling that, inexplicably, in Xu Qingfan's eyes, this little beast is not just a mysterious little beast, but more like a helpless and precocious child.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Qingfan ignored the burning greed in Xiao Hei's heart and ordered Xiao Hei not to attack the little beast. When Xiao Hei ignored his order and forcibly attacked the little beast, Xu Qingfan even more He personally took action to save this little beast.

Seeing Xiao Hei's greedy expression that was not commensurate with its usual indifference, wolfing down the piece of golden flesh torn from the little beast's body, and the golden blood covering the black body, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but frowned. Then he lowered his head and looked at the little golden beast in his arms.

Originally, when Xu Qingfan rescued the little beast from Xiaoheizui, he was worried that the little beast would attack him, and was secretly on guard for this. However, he may have exhausted the last of his energy under the attacks of the beasts and Xiaohei just now. A trace of strength, or because the little beast could keenly sense that Xu Qingfan was not hostile to him, so when the little beast was in Xu Qingfan's arms, it did not have the same ferocity and ruthlessness as when it slaughtered the beasts before. There wasn't even a trace of struggle, he just lay quietly in Xu Qingfan's arms, shrinking his body. The wound on his back where Xiao Hei tore off a piece of flesh was extremely conspicuous, plus the scars left everywhere from the previous battle with the beasts. . It looked extremely dazzling, and golden blood continued to flow out of the little beast's body. Xu Qingfan's clothes got wet.

Perhaps because of the pain of the wound, the little beast's body twitched a little, but the little beast did not pay attention to his injuries. It seemed that he had already resigned himself to his fate. Instead, he stared closely at the little black and golden creature not far away who was devouring its flesh and blood. The emotions in his eyes were as complex as ever. It seemed to be sighing, it seemed to be in despair, and it seemed that there was still a little bit of curiosity about Xiao Hei's changes after devouring its flesh and blood.

He seemed to sense Xu Qingfan's gaze. After the little beast stared at Xiao Hei for a long time, he reluctantly turned around and looked at Xu Qingfan. Xu Qingfan was not sure if it was his illusion. In a daze, he seemed to feel gratitude in the eyes of the little beast! !

Suppressing the fear in his heart, Xu Qingfan looked at the scarred body of the little beast. He knew that if he did not treat this mysterious little beast, he would probably die from blood loss, so he no longer hesitated. He mobilized the "qi of life" and "qi of death" in his body and used his third magical power "the way of life and death". The little beast was treated.

As the energy of life and death circulated on the little beast, the various scars on the little beast were slowly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, the little beast's body was restored to its original state, and he could feel the changes in his body. , Surprise flashed in the little beast's eyes, and he once again looked away from Xiao Hei and looked at Xu Qingfan, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity. ==== seemed to be asking Xu Qingfan how he did it.

And unconsciously. Xu Qingfan, however, has become accustomed to this little beast's humane expression and demeanor.

But what really surprised Xu Qingfan was when he was treating the little beast. What was sensed was that when the two qi of life and death circulated through the little beast's body, it was discovered that the flesh and blood in the whole body of the little beast seemed to be some kind of energy, with some mysterious and unknowable characteristics. And this little beast itself has extremely powerful potential. Xu Qingfan estimates that this unknown little beast should be a growth-type monster, and when it fully grows, its strength will probably not be compared to any legend. Under the heaven-level monsters in the world.

I guess it is precisely because of the mysterious characteristics of this little beast's flesh and blood that it attracts Xiao Hei and even all the beasts to become greedy and crazy for it, right? But they don’t know what benefit the flesh and blood of this little beast has to the beasts in the world. It's just that although Xu Qingfan has always boasted that he is well-read and knowledgeable, no matter how he looks at this little beast, he can't connect it with those known heaven-level monsters. It was as if this little beast had not been known to anyone in the world of immortality for thousands of years.

More importantly, this little beast obviously has the potential to become a heaven-level monster. It should be the cub of some kind of heaven-level monster. However, the known heaven-level monsters in the world of immortality are all concentrated in the south of the Southern Wilderness. Monster beasts are rare in the prosperous Middle-earth, and why does this little beast suddenly appear here?

Although he had doubts in his heart, no matter how Xu Qingfan guessed, he still couldn't find the answer.

First, there was the appearance of the mysterious strong man, then there was this little beast, and there was the treasure left behind for unknown reasons. In just two or three days, too many mysterious things happened. Although Xu Qingfan has always been confident with his analysis, Ability, but there is still a feeling that the brain is not enough.

Shaking his head, Xu Qingfan stopped thinking and turned his gaze to Xiao Hei who had just swallowed up the little beast's golden flesh.

Since Xiao Hei became Xu Qingfan's spiritual pet, Xu Qingfan has long been accustomed to Xiao Hei's obedience, but this time, Xiao Hei failed to obey Xu Qingfan's orders again and again, which made Xu Qingfan surprised and a little angry. , just about to call Xiao Hei back and scold him, but when Xu Qingfan just turned his eyes to Xiao Hei, something suddenly happened to Xiao Hei.

I saw a slight black light suddenly glowing on Xiao Hei's body. Darkness and light are words with opposite meanings. But at this time, the black light glowing on Xiao Hei's body could only be described by Xu Qingfan as black light.

Then, this weak light became brighter and brighter, and in a moment it enveloped Xiao Hei and the area several feet around it. Even if Xu Qingfan used the "Sky Eye Technique", he could not see the detailed scene inside. , on the contrary, the little beast in Xu Qingfan's arms looked at the scene in the black light without blinking, and seemed to be able to see it. \\j.\\

Just like this, the black light surrounded Xiao Hei, and the sky turned from dark to pitch black, and then from pitch black to slightly bright. Then it changed from slightly bright to bright, and Xu Qingfan just hugged the little golden beast. Watching this scene silently, finally, changes began again.

I saw that the black light that enveloped Xiao Hei gradually shrank, and at the same time, a pressure spread out from the black light.

This kind of pressure is not the kind of pressure that comes from strong strength, but the kind of pressure that comes naturally from being in a high position, similar to that of an emperor. But it is very different from Xiao Hei before.

Just like that, in Xu Qingfan's confused eyes, the black light finally dissipated, and Xiao Hei was finally revealed in front of Xu Qingfan.

And Xiao Hei's appearance at this moment. But Xu Qingfan couldn't help but be shocked.

I saw that Xiao Hei's body was obviously more than the size three before the mutation. If the previous Xiao Hei was no different from an ordinary crow, then the current Xiao Hei, although he still looks like a crow, at least in terms of body shape It is no different from an ordinary Black Hawk.

The originally black feathers on Xiao Hei's body have all turned into black gold, and under the sunlight, the reflected light seems to be majestic.

And Xiaohei’s eyes. It became like the little beast in Xu Qingfan's arms, turning into a piece of pure gold. Coupled with the sudden change in his noble and majestic aura, Xu Qingfan's originally ordinary Xiao Hei suddenly took on the demeanor of a bird king.

But other than that, there was no obvious change in Xiao Hei's strength.

What made Xu Qingfan breathe a sigh of relief was that after the mutation ended, the mind-to-mind connection between Xiao Hei and him returned to normal. Through the mind-to-mind connection with Xiao Hei, Xu Qingfan knew that Xiao Hei was still his spiritual pet. . Still under his control.

After the mutation ends. Xiao Hei's still cold eyes kept looking at his body and feathers, seeming satisfied with the changes in his body. Then he spread his wings and flew towards Xu Qingfan, and then stood on Xu Qingfan's shoulders as usual.

And even when he spreads his wings and flies, Xiao Hei has an extra sense of elegance.

"Could it be that the blood of this little beast can actually allow beasts to evolve into the king of beasts?"

Xu Qingfan looked at Xiao Hei on his shoulder, then at the little golden beast in his arms, and thought in horror.

After evolving, Xiao Hei had lost interest in this little golden beast. He held his head high, but didn't even look at the little beast. The little beast lay curled up in Xu Qingfan's arms, but it kept looking at it. While quietly looking at Xiao Hei on Xu Qingfan's shoulder, his eyes flashed with a complicated and difficult-to-understand light, which seemed to mean "I remember you."

In the end, after studying Xiao Hei and the little golden beast countless times without results, Xu Qingfan suppressed the doubts in his heart and flew towards "Ronghua Mountain" with the two beasts. But along the way, Xu Qingfan kept thinking about the identity of this little golden beast and the pros and cons that getting it would bring to him.

The little golden beast, on the other hand, seemed to be at ease with the situation. It lay in Xu Qingfan's arms and kept observing the changes in the scenery on the road.

"Although I don't know where you come from, since I met you, it is considered fate. From now on, I will call you Xiaojin."

Before entering the formations set up by the masters three hundred miles away in "Ronghua Mountain", Xu Qingfan whispered to the little beast in his arms.

Speaking of which, Xu Qingfan has been cultivating immortality for more than a hundred years and has read a lot of poetry and books, but it has to be said that he really has no taste in naming. The green-eyed cloud-hoofed beast with a green body is called Xiaobi, and the black body is called Xiaobi. The dark crow is called Xiao Hei, and the mysterious golden beast in front of him is also called Xiao Jin, but he doesn't know if Jin Qinghan, who is often called "Xiao Jin" by the elders of the sect, will have any objections.

The little beast seemed to understand Xu Qingfan's words and nodded obediently. It seems that he agreed with the name Xu Qingfan gave him. Of course, we can't ask a monster to have any taste in names.

Seeing the little beast nodding, Xu Qingfan was slightly startled again, but he got used to the little beast's psychic ability, but he no longer made as much fuss as at first, and just reached out and touched the little beast. The soft golden hair on his back then sent out a black and white signal, signaling the leader of the Righteous Alliance to open the formation barrier for him.

The guides within the range of "Ronghua Mountain" were slightly stunned when they saw the signal that belonged to Xu Qingfan flashing outside the formation. They didn't know when Xu Qingfan had gone out, but Xu Qingfan's current status in the Righteous Alliance was second only to the masters and the heads of the sects, so they didn't dare to neglect him. They hurriedly opened the formation for Xu Qingfan to let him in. Although they were puzzled by the changes of Xiao Hei on Xu Qingfan's shoulder and the golden little beast in Xu Qingfan's arms, they didn't dare to ask and let Xu Qingfan enter.

After Xu Qingfan entered the range of "Ronghua Mountain", he hesitated for a moment, but flew towards the location of Zhang Hualing on the hillside of "Ronghua Mountain". Although some things could not be told to others, they could still be discussed with Zhang Hualing.

But Xu Qingfan had just flown not far from "Ronghua Mountain". He attracted unexpected trouble.

In fact, this trouble was predictable, but it was ignored by Xu Qingfan.

That is, the attraction of this golden little beast to the monsters and ordinary beasts in the world.

Just when Xu Qingfan flew to a place not far from "Ronghua Mountain", he heard countless roars of beasts from all over "Ronghua Mountain" and the gathering places of low-level immortal cultivators under "Ronghua Mountain". Then he saw more than a hundred immortal cultivators' spirit pets suddenly take off from all over "Ronghua Mountain", with greed in their eyes, rushing towards Xu Qingfan with ferocious faces.

Under Xu Qingfan's feet, more spirit pets that could not fly were gathering.

Behind these spirit pets were their owners. They were chasing their out-of-control spirit pets in a rage, and Xu Qingfan could even clearly see the incredible expressions on the faces of these immortal cultivators.

Xu Qingfan didn't know that he would see an even grander scene soon. But at this moment, seeing hundreds of flying monsters rushing towards him, and several times more monsters roaring at him under his feet, the might generated by their combination, even Xu Qingfan, who had just fought with the mysterious strong man not long ago, was shocked and his hands and feet were stiff.

Looking at the golden beast in his arms, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but curse himself for being "stupid", and then before these monsters pounced on him and bit him, he frantically pinched various hand seals and finger gestures. Constantly cast various barriers on the golden beast. Hope to block the breath of the beast.

After all, Xu Qingfan is not a wild beast, and he doesn't know how they found the existence of this golden beast. But now he can only try it by luck.

In the end, after Xu Qingfan cast thirteen kinds of barriers on the beast, it finally played the role that Xu Qingfan expected.

At this time, the flying monsters had already flown to a distance of less than 100 feet from Xu Qingfan, but suddenly stopped, with doubtful light flashing in their eyes, and their sharp eyes kept searching around Xu Qingfan, while at the same time, the spirit pets under their feet stopped roaring.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qingfan couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his head, lowered his head and smiled bitterly at the small beast whose body had been hidden, but found that the small beast had a calm expression and looked at the powerful monster in front of him with disdain. It seemed that he was not worried about his situation at all.

Finally, after losing the trace of the small beast, the spirit pets were controlled by their masters again. Looking at Xu Qingfan, who was surrounded by the monsters and smiled bitterly, they came forward to apologize, and kept guessing in their hearts what Xu Qingfan had got that made their spirit pets so crazy. The change of Xiao Hei on Xu Qingfan's shoulder made a group of immortal cultivators look at him sideways.

Knowing that it was his own mistake, but not the fault of the pet owners, Xu Qingfan made some polite remarks, and these cultivators left with their pets in confusion.

What made Xu Qingfan laugh and cry was that under his feet, Ting'er, Zhang Ningmei and Bai Yu also left with Xiaobi in confusion. Among all the pets on the ground just now, Xiaobi seemed to be the one who screamed the most fiercely.

Xu Qingfan shook his head and flew to the hillside of Ronghua Mountain again with Xiaojin and Xiaohei. "Master, disciple Xu Qingfan wants to see you."

Xu Qingfan landed in front of a remote courtyard and bowed respectfully.

Unlike Xu Qingfan who became famous after joining the Righteous Alliance, Zhang Hualing, as the head of Jiuhua, was extremely low-key, perhaps because he resisted the evil erosion of the secret method. On weekdays, except for some necessary decision-making meetings, he had been secluded in the courtyard arranged for him by the Righteous Alliance. He was very different from his appearance of being good at dancing with long sleeves in the past, which aroused many people's speculation.

In fact, even Xu Qingfan rarely saw Zhang Hualing in the past seven years.

"Come in."

After a while, Zhang Hualing's voice was heard in the courtyard.
