Chapter 425 - 425 0303 Really Too Naive_2

Chapter 425: Chapter 0303: Really Too Naive_2 Chapter 425: Chapter 0303: Really Too Naive_2 The outcome was not what Qi Tian wanted. Missing out on a generic Demonic Bird was no big deal, but losing a Demonic Bird with unique bloodlines was a loss of significant cultivation resources – a costly mistake he did not want to make.

Therefore, as soon as the Confinement Cover shattered, Qi Tian turned around and flew towards the flying sailing ship, aiming to kill a few more Demonic Birds with unique bloodlines before the support force from Wanjie Commerce arrived.

Qi Tian was quick, but the support from Wanjie Commerce was quicker. He managed to kill another Demonic Bird at the Half-step Golden Core level with a unique bloodline. However, just as he was about to pursue the next one, a Golden Core powerhouse dispatched by Wanjie City arrived, exuding a dominating aura. The Demonic Birds scattered in fear. Those a bit slow were reduced to fragments by the sword casually swung by the Golden Core expert.

This one stroke of the Golden Core expert resulted in the death of over fifty Demonic Birds, including two at the Half-step Golden Core stage. For a moment, even the sky was stained red with the blood of the Demonic Birds. Terrified, the Demonic Birds cried out and fled for their lives, desperately flapping their wings.

The Golden Core expert did not pursue. These Demonic Birds were practically useless to him, so naturally, he was reluctant to chase them. Instead, he directly flew towards the sailing ship. Seeing him approach, the captain hurriedly went to meet him, bowing and scraping even more respectful than if he was greeting his own father.

“Elder.”

“I’ve been assigned to escort you to the secret realm. With me here, such incidents won’t happen again,” said the Golden Core expert indifferently.

“With Elder here, we are at ease. Elder, you must be exhausted from the journey, allow me to arrange a place for you to rest,” the captain said with utmost respect.

The Golden Core expert nodded nonchalantly, calmly following the captain away.

As the Golden Core expert passed by, everyone bowed their heads, not daring to look at him directly. Only after he had passed did they raise their heads, watching his retreating figure with envy.

This was a Golden Core expert, a realm that most of them could only dream of, even at the end of their lives. The fact that a powerhouse of this calibre had come to rescue them was a story they could boast about for the rest of their lives.

As for Qi Tian, he was still outside the airship. He watched ruefully as the Demonic Birds disappeared into the distance and saw the carcasses of the fallen birds plummeting from the sky. He shook his head in regret. Among them was a Demonic Bird at Half-step Golden Core level with unique bloodlines. Its body was now in two parts, its blood gushing out. Even if he went there and picked it up, he would hardly be able to extract much of the unique bloodline.

Qi Tian was a man of quick decisions. When he realized the situation was irreversible, he turned around and returned to the sailing ship. He returned to his original spot where Hu Niu still was. No one attempted to bully Hu Niu or lay claim to Qi Tian’s spot.

Some had initially planned to do so, but they had witnessed Qi Tian’s fierce battle outside the airship, frequently killing Demonic Birds. This made them settle down. No one dared to take a risk until they were sure of Qi Tian’s death. Moreover, even if they seized his spot and captured Hu Niu, they would risk being attacked by the Demonic Birds. If they all ended up dying under the claws of the Demonic Birds, seizing Qi Tian’s mount and territory would be meaningless.

Qi Tian sat next to Hu Niu, petted her big head, and took out two of the Demonic Birds he had killed from his Storage Bag. He placed them in front of Hu Niu as food. He naturally wouldn’t let Hu Niu eat the birds with unique bloodlines. This bloodline would only bring profits when extracted; eating it raw wouldn’t bring much benefit to Hu Niu.

Qi Tian took a short break, regained his True Essence, and managed to return to his peak state. He reopened his eyes and looked around to find that his surroundings were still crowded, and only a small area around him was relatively clear.

The crisis from the Demonic Bird had passed, and the cultivators around him remembered that Qi Tian had once offended Liu Sichao. Liu Sichao’s performance outside the airship had been astounding, making him no less amazing than Qi Tian, so naturally, nobody wanted to provoke Liu Sichao and kept a safe distance from Qi Tian. The only reason they didn’t leave larger space was because they were confined to the limited space on the airship.

Qi Tian didn’t care about this at all. If he weren’t going to the secret place to mine spiritual stone veins, he would have almost no interactions with these cultivators. Once they left the secret place, they would all go their separate ways, and there was a good chance that they would never see each other again, so why should he care about their attitudes?

Qi Tian estimated that it would take about three days to reach the secret location. He didn’t want to waste this period, knowing well that every second counts on the path of cultivation. The three days would be too precious to waste.

Qi Tian thought about how he could spend these three days productively. Reading scriptures, practicing, refining talismans… Having considered a few things, he dismissed them all. He had too many secrets to reveal in front of others.

After some thought, Qi Tian decided to focus on the Demonic Birds with special bloodlines. He planned to refine the bloodlines of the Demonic Birds and see if any of them were suitable for Hu Niu. If there were, he would let Hu Niu use it.

Qi Tian had a copy of the Bloodline Secret Scripture, which contained detailed information about special bloodlines. Last time, Qi Tian had used it to purify the special bloodline of a White Zombie Tiger and used it on Hu Niu, who had successfully upgraded from the Eighth Level of Qi Cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But here, there were too many people and prying eyes. Qi Tian couldn’t use the methods in the Bloodline Secret Scripture without attracting attention, not even from the other Golden Core practitioner aboard, which indeed would not bode well for him.

Luckily, Qi Tian had a backup plan. He took out a corpse of a Foundation Establishment Stage Demonic Bird with no special bloodline, and began to extract all the fresh blood from the bird’s body in front of everyone, putting it in a basin. Then, Qi Tian used another method to purify the special bloodline. This method was more common compared to the one detailed in the Bloodline Secret Scripture.

Qi Tian tried several times, but got nothing at last after the blood in the basin had been used up.

The cultivators around watching Qi Tian’s attempt just shook their heads. Among them, the knowledgeable ones had been guessing that Qi Tian was trying to purify a special bloodline, and they naturally sneered at his efforts.

Some time ago, because of the Wanjie City, the special bloodline had become famous. Many people began to search for the special bloodline, but when they started, they found it was as difficult as trying to find a needle in a haystack. Even if they found it, how do they capture it and extract the special bloodline? All those posed a series of challenges.

Thousands of cultivators were discouraged or gave up halfway. At this moment, more than half of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators on this airship have had the idea of exchanging special bloodlines for cultivation resources, but they gave up due to various reasons. They simply didn’t believe that Qi Tian could succeed before them.

When Qi Tian didn’t find a special bloodline in the first Demonic Bird, many people sneered. If they couldn’t do it, how could Qi Tian just randomly catch a bird and succeed? It was too naive.
