Chapter 233 - 233 0207 Uncle Shi Its Him_2

Chapter 233: Chapter 0207: Uncle Shi, It’s Him_2 Chapter 233: Chapter 0207: Uncle Shi, It’s Him_2 Qi Tian left the dormitory area and headed straight to the high-grade single Cultivation Rooms. Upon arrival, he found that, as before, there was no vacant high-grade single Cultivation Room. With no other choice, Qi Tian could only register and prepare to return when it was his turn. Of course, he could go to Lord Luo Xia of Sky Eagle Hall and tell him that he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, having just spent a considerable amount of time cultivating at King Zhangbei Manor, he did not have the immediate desire to enter closed-door cultivation. Moreover, he had another pressing matter to tend to.

Qi Tian quickly arrived at the Hundred Birds Palace, the spirit beast area of the Imperial Master Mansion. Almost all disciples who practiced beast control techniques were concentrated in this grand hall. Although it was named Hundred Birds Palace, it had all sorts of beasts, both flying and walking, not just birds. Of course, whether it could accumulate a hundred different types was questionable, but dozens was certainly no problem.

The most common spirit beast here was horses. Unlike the horses on Earth, these horses all carried the bloodline of demonic beasts, and the more of this bloodline they possessed, the more formidable the horses were.

There were dedicated personnel here who bred and raised various horses to supply a steady stream of high-quality mounts to the disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion.

However, Qi Tian was not here to select or buy a horse. He was here to get treatment for his Hu Niu. Hu Niu had been injured at King Zhangbei Manor. Although he had fed her medicine a few times, he was not a beast healer by any means, and the medicine he administered was not particularly targeted. Therefore, although Hu Niu was not in mortal danger, her recovery was not going to be easy.

The Hundred Birds Palace had specialist beast healers who provided services to all disciples of the Imperial Master Mansion. Qi Tian went straight to a beast healer. His initial intention was to find the best healer available. However, he found that the best healers were in high demand, and an appointment was necessary. Currently, the waitlist extended to five days later.

Qi Tian could not afford to wait this long, so he turned to an apprentice healer who was available immediately. This apprentice healer was only a few years older than Qi Tian, probably under eighteen. His cultivation level was not particularly high, around Qi Cultivating Stage Four, which was not too bad.

Qi Tian released Hu Niu from her Spirit Beast Bracelet in front of the apprentice healer, Guo Shouyu. “Brother Guo, please have a look.”

Qi Tian’s title of “Brother” for Guo Shouyu was due to Guo Shouyu being older, not for any other reason. However, Guo Shouyu was not satisfied with this title, believing that Qi Tian was placing him on the same level, which he felt was disrespectful. He believed that he should be addressed as “Senior Brother”.

However, before he had a chance to repriman Qi Tian, he was drawn to the Spirit Beast Bracelet on Qi Tian’s wrist. Before even examining Hu Niu, he asked, “Where did you get this Spirit Beast Bracelet from? How big is the interior space? How long can a living creature stay within? Are you willing to sell it? I will pay a high price, how about ten spirit stones?”

Guo Shouyu started bombarding Qi Tian with a flurry of questions, not giving him a chance to reply. He even offered to buy the Spirit Beast Bracelet. At least he mentioned that he wanted to buy it with spirit stones rather than silver, which was somewhat proper.

Qi Tian rolled his eyes. Even if he were in need of spirit stones now, which he wasn’t, he wouldn’t consider his Spirit Beast Bracelet as worth only ten spirit stones. He replied, “This is my beloved item. I’m not selling it. Brother Guo, why don’t you examine Hu Niu?”

Guo Shouyu grunted, clearly dissatisfied with Qi Tian’s refusal, but he did not say anything. Instead, he lowered his head and started to examine Hu Niu. Despite being an apprentice, he was professional in his work. He quickly finished the examination and informed Qi Tian, “This Golden Flur Tiger, did you bring it back from the Lianying Realm? It’s severely injured. If you want to save it, I suggest you don’t bother. The price is too high; you can’t afford it.”

“How expensive? How much?” Qi Tian asked.

Guo Shouyu said blandly, “Your Spirit Beast Bracelet, plus ten Spirit Stones. Don’t think it’s expensive. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the Hundred Birds Palace if my quote is the lowest.”

Guo Shouyu’s words weren’t bluffs- those from the Hundred Birds Palace were all on the same side. Normally, when their beast doctors or apprentices coveted something, they would use this approach. They had a quick way of communicating with each other and could form a price alliance in a very short time. If the other party didn’t believe it and consulted other beast doctors or apprentices, they would definitely receive a much higher price. By using this method, every cultivator in the Hundred Birds Palace, Guo Shouyu included, had obtained many good things.

This time, Guo Shouyu was merely reusing his old trick, hoping to exploit the opportunity of treating Hu Niu’s injury to scrape off some profit from Qi Tian. He had done this many times before, exploiting the urgency of the mount’s owner to heal their spirit beast and succeeding repeatedly. Of course, there were also unsuccessful times, but in Zhangshui City, the best place to treat spirit beasts was here. Those who left angrily mostly had to come back, helpless as Guo Shouyu and his fellows extorted them.

Qi Tian had encountered many similar situations in his previous life. But it was the first time in the Imperial Master Mansion. Of course, this wasn’t to say that the other places were necessarily better than the Hundred Birds Palace. It was quite possible that when Qi Tian went to other places, he might not possess cultivation resources that could catch their eyes. Otherwise, they might also demand them directly like Guo Shouyu.

Qi Tian was agitated, he waved his hand and received Hu Niu into the Spirit Beast Bracelet, saying, “I won’t let it be treated. Is that alright now?”

Qi Tian had made up his mind. If necessary, he would simply visit Wanjie City again. There, he could surely find better beast doctors, or at the very least, he could purchase medicinal pills suitable for Hu Niu.

Seeing Qi Tian putting Hu Niu away and heading off, a cold smirk emerged on Guo Shouyu’s face. After Qi Tian had left, he took out a whistle and blew it.

Qi Tian heard the whistle too, but didn’t give it much thought. However, when he reached the main gate of the Hundred Birds Palace, he found that the gate had been blocked. No one was allowed to enter or exit.

Qi Tian didn’t know what was happening and could only wait. Soon, he saw Guo Shouyu walking over. In front of him, there was a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage. Guo Shouyu was whispering something as he paced with the Foundation Establishment cultivator towards the gate.

Soon, Guo Shouyu and the cultivator arrived at the gate. Guo Shouyu pointed at Qi Tian and said, “Uncle master, it’s him.”

There were a few dozen people on the scene. Hearing this, they all turned their eyes to Qi Tian, wanting to know who could make the Hundred Birds Palace close its doors.

Qi Tian was somewhat well-known in the Imperial Master Mansion. Guo Shouyu hadn’t recognized Qi Tian because he wasn’t interested in him and hadn’t made an effort to inquire about Qi Tian’s information. But, the one in the Foundation Establishment Stage who was called by Guo Shouyu recognized Qi Tian. Upon seeing Qi Tian, he couldn’t help furrowing his eyebrows.

“Guo Shouyu, are you sure it’s him?” the cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage asked.

“Uncle master, there’s no mistake, the Golden Flur Tiger with royal lineage is definitely on his person. I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes, why would I deceive you?” Guo Shouyu said confidently.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator pondered it for a bit, then asked, “If I’m not mistaken, you should be Qi Tian, right? May I ask you a few questions?”
