Chapter 14: The Cultivation Realm (Part 1)

  The Dragon Continent has a variety of wild beasts, and many people have domesticated flying birds and walking animals. However, generally speaking, these flying birds and walking animals are only loyal to their masters, and others cannot ride them at all. Moreover, it is also difficult to domesticate them on a large scale. Usually, they are used for tasks like sending messages and inviting people, just like Qin Yu did.

  Once the war broke out, most of these people with flying birds became scouts or high-altitude raiders. The battles on the mainland of Penglai were diverse and colorful, using various flying creatures to make the battle more exciting and unpredictable. Moreover, the army generally cultivated internal skills, such as the Eastern King's army, where a small soldier who had been in the army for a year was qualified to cultivate the lowest level of "Military Martial Arts". A small soldier's strength was enough to kill seven or eight ordinary people. The higher the military achievement and status, the more advanced levels of "Military Martial Arts" could be cultivated.

  Once the war breaks out on the mainland of Qianlong, the troops recruited in an emergency are far from comparable to regular troops, at least in terms of quality. A regular army of 200,000 can wipe out a strong call of one million ordinary people's army.

  Sitting on the back of the Black Eagle, Qin Yu looked down and in just a moment, he had already left Yanjing City.

  "As for speed, I don't think I've ever heard of any bird that can compare to the Black Eagle." Qin Yu smiled and stroked the Black Eagle's neck.

  The black eagle's speed was incredibly fast, at least according to Qin Yu's knowledge, there wasn't any flying bird that could compare with the black eagle in terms of speed. After all, eagles were originally extremely fast, and Qin Yu's black eagle was an extremely special class, two or three times faster than ordinary eagles.

  The black eagle swooped down, flying directly towards a thatched cottage. This was the usual residence of Feng Yu Zi, surrounded by a crescent-shaped lake and very quiet, with no signs of human activity to disturb him.

  At this moment, a crane was flying over the lake not far from the thatched cottage, which was Feng Yu's mount. Meanwhile, Feng Yu himself was standing outside the thatched cottage, looking up at Qin Yu who was descending from the sky with a smile all over his face.

  "Uncle Wind." Qin Yu directly jumped down from the Black Eagle, excitedly shouting.

  "Xiao Yu, how did you end up here?" Feng Yuzi asked with a smile. Feng Yuzi was actually much older than Lian Yan, but he treated Qin De like a brother, and people like him didn't care about age.

  Qin Yu was about to speak when he suddenly found that Feng Yuzi's gaze had completely converged on the Black Eagle.

  "Uncle Feng, what's wrong? Do you know what Xiao Hei is?" Qin Yu asked in puzzlement. Feng Yuzi stared at the black eagle, but the black eagle didn't even glance at Feng Yuzi. After a long while, Feng Yuzi shook his head and said, "It's strange. Look at its crown, it seems to be a 'Golden Flame Eagle', the king of eagles. But Golden Flame Eagles have golden crowns like flames, their entire body is covered in golden feathers, and they also have flames burning on them. However, this black eagle is pitch black all over, and even its claws are icy black."

  Feng Yuzi was indeed unable to see through it for a while.

  Moreover, the Golden Flame Eagle's strength is extremely powerful. Even if it has only been born for a few years, the single protective golden flame can already deal with a Golden Elixir cultivator. However, this black eagle is obviously at most comparable to an ordinary person of the Innate level, much weaker than the Golden Flame Eagle." Feng Yuzi frowned and said.

  Qin Yu listened to Feng Yuzi's words and also understood that Feng Yuzi couldn't tell what kind of bird the Black Eagle was either.

  "Wind Uncle, what's this Golden Elixir stage cultivator you're talking about? What is that? From what you said, it seems even more powerful than a Pre-Heavenly expert. Isn't something that surpasses a Pre-Heavenly expert an Upper Immortal?" Qin Yu asked in confusion.

  "Hmm..." Feng Yuzi's attention finally returned from Heiying, looking at Qin Yu's puzzled gaze, shaking his head and smiling, "A Golden Elixir cultivator, I, Wind Uncle, am also a Golden Elixir cultivator."

  "Old Man Feng?" Qin Yu's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

  In Qin Yu's mind, the Innate Experts were already extremely formidable. The Supreme Immortals above the Innate Experts were invincible existences. Now, hearing Feng Wujiu's words, he was only a Golden Dan stage cultivator. What did this mean? What was a cultivator? What was the Golden Dan stage?

  Feng Yuzi smiled and said: "Alright, let's talk about this later. By the way, what did you come to find me for? You didn't just come to see old man Feng, did you?"

  Qin Yu suddenly remembered his own affairs, and threw aside the "Golden Elixir Cultivator" from earlier. He said repeatedly: "Uncle Feng, I obtained a fiery red crystal, that crystal was extremely hard, even Black Sir used all his strength but couldn't leave any mark on it. Black Sir said..."

  "What!" Feng Yuzi exclaimed in shock.

  Qin Yu was shocked by Feng Yuzi's astonishment, in his heart, Feng Yuzi always smiled calmly and unruffled, as if nothing could shock him, but this immortal actually stared at Qin Yu with wide eyes.

  "Can't even leave a single trace of that little black-haired kid from the Wang Manor?" Feng Yu Zi hastily confirmed once again.

  Qin Yu could only nod, unsure what Feng Yuzi meant.

  Feng Yu Zi's eyes lit up instantly: "That black kid has already practiced the 'Burning Heaven Technique' to an extremely high level, and with their sect's specially made 'Blue Flame Water', even ordinary good-quality ores can be easily melted. But now, on that crimson crystal, there isn't even a hint of a trace. What kind of precious ore is that crimson crystal?"

  "Where is that crimson crystal?" Feng Yuzi stared at Qin Yu.

  "In the Wang Fu." Qin Yu replied immediately.

  "Alright, let's go now." Feng Yuzi didn't even bid farewell to Xianhe, and suddenly a flying sword appeared under his feet. The flying sword grew larger, grasping Qin Yu and making him stand on it as well. Without paying any attention to Heiying, they directly flew towards Yanjing City.

  "Uncle Feng, they want me to come..." Qin Yu hastily said, he was the one who asked Feng Yuzi to refine the fire-red crystal, this matter hadn't been mentioned yet.

  Feng Yuzi smiled and said, "Don't say any more, I know why you're here. That precious ore can't be refined by you guys, only the Samadhi True Fire of a cultivator can refine it." As soon as Feng Yuzi spoke, Qin Yu also understood, but he was curious about what Samadhi True Fire was.

  In just a moment, Qin Yu's attention was completely focused on the flying sword. As for Hei Ying, Qin Yu wasn't worried about it either. He knew that Hei Ying could easily find him, no matter where Qin Yu went, Hei Ying would be able to find him. This might be a special connection between the two that had been cultivated over the past eleven years.

  "This is the Flying Sword." Qin Yu stared at this enormous flying sword, marveling in his heart.

  On the flying sword, there were talismanic marks, and a fierce aura was emanating from it. Qin Yu's heart was certain that if Feng Yuzi wanted to kill someone, the fierce sword energy on the flying sword alone would be enough to kill a pre-heavenly expert.

  The flying sword can be large or small, but it's incredibly fast, even faster than a black eagle.

  In an instant, the two arrived at the Wang Fu. Without needing Qin Yu to say anything, Feng Yuzi directly descended into the courtyard. The people in the courtyard, including Qin Feng, Qin Zheng, Lian Yan and Hei Xiansheng, immediately bowed upon seeing Feng Yuzi and said: "Greetings, Senior."

  Feng Yuzi's gaze was completely focused on the fiery red crystal in front of him, with a scorching light in his eyes.

  "In the stone, a fierce iron. Ah, heaven." Feng Yuzi seemed to recall when he was still on the overseas immortal island cultivating, how excited the sect's elder was when they obtained a piece of Stone Fiery Iron from the depths of the ocean and forged a flying sword to reward a senior fellow practitioner who had made great contributions during their Yuan Ying period.

  But the piece of iron in the stone was no more than a tenth the size of the iron in the stone before him.

  "Whose is this?" Feng Yuzi looked around at several people and asked immediately.

  "This was obtained by Xiao Yu in the East Lingshan Mountains unintentionally." Lian Yan replied immediately, Feng Yuzi turned his head to look at Qin Yu, and his heart only had incredulity. He had been searching for several years in the boundless Honghuang, but only found ordinary ore.

  He had never thought that apart from Honghuang, there were also such minerals on the Dragon Hidden Continent.

  "Alright, I'll refine this crystal. Xiao Yu, you're the master of this crystal and have control over it, so come with me." Feng Yuzi waved his hand, and a thick energy enveloped the fiery red crystal, lifting the 2,000-jin crystal into the air.

  "Yes!" Although he was puzzled in his heart, Qin Yu still followed him.

  Feng Yuzi had several secret rooms in the Wang Fu, and even Zhen Dong Wang Qin De couldn't enter without Feng Yuzi's permission. At this moment, Feng Yuzi led Qin Yu into a secret room specifically used for refining spiritual artifacts.
