Volume 1 Chapter 16 Flying Mount (Seeking Bookmarks and Recommendations)

  To be honest, Fang Ruo had no confidence in Snow Spirit Silkworm's successful advancement to Snow Spirit Butterfly. Now that it has happened, he is indeed very excited and also feels extremely amazed by the Wooden Spiritual Stone. After all, during a period of time in the past, the spiritual energy absorbed by him and Snow Spirit Butterfly was not small, but now it seems that the spiritual energy emitted by the Wooden Spiritual Stone is still endless!

  So even if Fang Yue didn't know much about the Ling Stone, he could still guess that this wooden Ling Stone was absolutely not simple, at least it wasn't what he thought it was, just a low-grade wooden Ling Stone!

  "Why not raise a few more Snow Spirit Butterflies then?" Feng Ruo looked at the Snow Spirit Butterfly dancing in his hand with some excitement, although he couldn't communicate with it, he could clearly feel its affection towards him. If he could train it for a while longer, who knows, maybe it could be used in battle!

  To know that the Snow Spirit Butterfly is a second-level spirit beast, although it's only as big as a bird, but it's not weak and fragile like its appearance suggests. At least it doesn't fear the flames on the Moonlight Short Sword, especially those seemingly thin wings, which are incredibly resilient.

  As for this Snow Spirit Butterfly, Fang Ruo simply couldn't help but like it more and more, such a good thing he really couldn't bear to give to that old woman as payment, so he had no choice but to cultivate another one!

  At this point, Feng Ruo didn't hesitate and quickly left along the passage. The Snow Spirit Butterfly seemed to understand his intention and continued to flutter around his shoulders.

  Out of that crack, Feng Ru suddenly found that the silver spider did not launch an attack, but instead retreated far away. However, Feng Ru was in a hurry to return to the main peak's Ling Sang Forest and didn't have time to bother with it, so he quickly left with Xue Ling Die.

  Soon, Feng Ruo rushed back to the main peak of Qingyun Mountain, but when he rushed into the Ling Sang Forest, he was shocked to find that the remaining eight Snow Spirit Silkworms had all died!

  Although this result is not unexpected, Feng Ru still felt a little regret. If the space of that Muling stone was a bit larger, he might have had two Snow Spirit Butterflies by now!

  "Hey! Fang Ruo, where have you been for the past half month? I thought you were swallowed by a spiritual beast!" Just as Fang Ruo was lost in thought, Kong Fei's voice came from the distant sky.

  "Half a month?" Upon hearing this, Feng Ruo was stunned. He had originally thought that he would be in meditation for at most two or three days, but he hadn't expected it to be so long. No wonder those eight Snow Spirit Silkworms had all died! If they hadn't died under these circumstances, that would have been the strange thing!

  "Hey! What's wrong?" As he spoke, Kong Fei had already put away the White Crane and landed on the ground. However, his first glance saw the Snow Spirit Butterfly fluttering around Feng Ruo's shoulders, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow! Snow Spirit Butterfly! Feng Ruo, where did you get it from? Will you give it to me? No! I'll buy it with Five Elements Stones! Ten pieces! No, twenty pieces! How about that?"

  "Keep dreaming!" Feng Ruo said with a hint of annoyance, and with a swift motion, she caught the Snow Spirit Butterfly in her hand. This little miserly senior brother was getting more and more stingy by the day - he actually thought he could buy a second-grade tamed spirit beast with just twenty low-quality five-element stones! It was really hard to believe he could come up with such an idea!

  Seeing Feng Ru grab the Snow Spirit Butterfly so roughly, Kong Fei jumped up anxiously, "Hey! You guy, don't you know how to cherish and appreciate beauty?! Let go quickly! If those beautiful wings get damaged, what'll happen?!"

  "Broken?" Upon hearing this, Feng Ru's eyes rolled in exasperation. She thought to herself that it was a second-grade spiritual beast, and even if he were to slash at it with his top-grade sword, it wouldn't be damaged, so how could it possibly be broken by hand?

  "Little Brother Xiaokong, are you looking for me?" Feng Ru directly placed her hand behind her back and smiled slyly, no matter what, Snow Lingdie wouldn't buy any of the Five Elements Stones because this was a spiritual beast that had been tamed since it was young, not comparable to those wild spiritual beasts.

  Kong Fei gazed at Feng Ruo for a while with a gloomy expression, before reluctantly saying: "A few days ago, Qu Shixiong went to the Tianzhong Mountain market and bought you a white-feathered crane as a mount. However, he couldn't find your shadow anywhere, so I've been coming here every day to take a look around. Speak up! Because of your disappearance, my cultivation has been greatly affected these past few days. How are you going to compensate me?"

  "Really!" Upon hearing Kong Fei's words, Feng Ruo's heart suddenly felt a surge of excitement. White Feathered Crane, ah! Now he can finally soar through the skies! At the same time, he also felt a bit moved. Qu Yun actually believed in him! To think that a white feathered crane mount, plus a seal ring, would cost at least 80 five-element stones to buy, even for a cunning merchant like Qu Yun, 80 five-element stones was no small sum!

  "Hey! Don't worry, Brother Kong, I'll definitely compensate you!" Feng Ruo said with a smile. This Kong Fei was not bad either. If he could cultivate another Snow Spirit Butterfly this time, she might even give one to him. But for now, this one was going to be hers no matter what.

  "Good! That's what you said, I'll take that Snow Spirit Butterfly then!" Kong Fei exclaimed with a thrilled expression, even taking a step forward as if to snatch it.

  "Hey, hey! You're also a senior brother, after all! Can't you behave like one?!" Looking at Kong Fei's excited appearance, Feng Ruo couldn't help but shake his head. This kid still has the heart of a child, seeing something fun and wanting it. "This Snow Spirit Butterfly has already recognized me as its master, even if you go, it won't work! However, in the future when I have time, I can help you get one!"

  "Huh? Really? You're keeping your word!" Kong Fei tilted his head and looked at Feng Ruo up and down, before reluctantly saying: "Fine! But can I borrow that Snow Spirit Butterfly of yours to play with for a bit?"

  "Impossible! It's just a second-grade spiritual beast, haven't you seen enough of them?" Feng Ruo said with a headache, considering that this kid had even hunted and killed third-grade spiritual beasts before, why would he be interested in a small Snow Spirit Butterfly.

  "What you said, I dare to play?" Kong Fei rolled his eyes. "As for the Snow Spirit Butterflies of our sect, there are indeed many, but they're all in that old witch's hands. I wouldn't even dare to touch them. To be honest, you're the first among us three generations of disciples to own a Snow Spirit Butterfly. How about letting me play with it for a day? No, make that three days!"

  "No way! Not even for a moment!" Feng Rou said resolutely, shaking her head. This was a second-level spiritual beast, not some little cat or dog that you could play with! Don't be ridiculous! If this kid provoked the Snow Spirit Butterfly and got bitten, what would happen then?

  "And another thing, you can't tell anyone else about this, at least not for now. If you do, don't even think about asking me for help!"

  "Alright!" Kong Fei replied helplessly and took out a white circular ring similar to a bracelet from his storage waistband, handing it over.

  "This is the Seal Ring, and the White Crane is inside. With just a bit of spiritual power, you can unseal or reseal the White Crane. Brother Qu said that during this period, you must master the skill of riding the White Crane. In two months, we will be going to hunt at the 72 Peaks! Oh, and one more thing, you have to be careful - this White Crane is only a flying mount, not for combat. If you encounter an enemy, you must remember to seal it away; otherwise, if it gets frightened, it might escape, and you'll suffer a great loss!"

  "Hey! Little Kong, thank you so much!" Feng Ruo smiled and took the ring, putting it directly on his wrist. He only felt a cool sensation coming from his wrist, and then the ring suddenly disappeared, leaving only a faint mark on his wrist.

  And when Feng Ruofei input a bit of magic into the seal ring, the seal ring reappeared again. At the same time, he could also clearly perceive the situation inside the white crane.

  Seeing Feng Wu lovingly playing with the seal ring, Kong Fei let out a huge yawn. He had obtained this seal ring when he was five years old and it no longer held any novelty for him. "Alright! You can study it slowly, I still need to go listen to Shifu's lecture on array techniques. If I'm late, I'll be punished. But you have to remember the promise you made to me!"

  "Hah! Got it, how could I forget!" Feng Ruo waved his hand at the departing Kong Fei and continued to study. This seal ring was a resting place for tamed spiritual beasts, and the space inside varied depending on its grade. Like this seal ring, which was only the lowest level, barely able to hold a white-feathered crane. But if it were a high-grade seal ring, it could hold even more massive spiritual beasts!

  Taking a deep breath, Feng Ru directly transmitted a bit of magic power into the seal ring, and all that could be heard was a faint "click" sound. Then, a white light flashed by, and immediately following that, a white crane about the same height as Feng Ru appeared before him.

  However, the white crane merely glanced at Feng Ruo with a tilted head and continued to preen its feathers, completely ignoring him without any affection.

  As for this, Feng Ruo actually knew the reason. This white crane was only the lowest-level flying mount and would not recognize its master. In other words, whoever grasped the seal ring could control it, but this way, don't think about guaranteeing loyalty. Once frightened, it would definitely drop its owner and escape immediately. Therefore, the best solution is to let the white crane never leave the seal ring too far.

  "Hey! Who cares! Let's go!" Feng Ruoxin excitedly mounted the White Crane and commanded it to take off immediately.

  Having received the command, the white crane simply flapped its wings calmly and took off extremely smoothly. It has to be said that this lowest-level flying mount is not bad at all, at least it flies extremely smoothly.

  As I gaze out at the surrounding trees gradually getting lower, my field of vision is also gradually expanding. It's as if there's a kind of exhilarating feeling of shouting towards the sky, even though it's not like I'm flying myself. This experience is absolutely different from walking on the ground!

  In this void, even the high mountains, white clouds and blue sky seem to be within reach. Even the most elusive wind becomes controllable at this moment!

  Especially when seeing those originally towering spirit mulberry trees become small dots, the heart is even more filled with a sense of looking down on all living things, although it's very elusive, but indeed very moving.

  "Go to the East Peak!" Feng Ruo commanded the White Feathered Crane to fly towards the East Peak after rising to an altitude of about 100 zhang, as there were many Qingyun Sect disciples on the main peak, and many forbidden areas. If they accidentally intruded, it would be troublesome, but the East Peak did not have these problems.
