6: Kill the Five-Colored Spirit Tail Bird

“It’s here, it’s here!”

Xiao Shi’s heart filled with anticipation.

This was exactly what he had been waiting for!

But on the surface, he scratched his head a little shyly.

“Actually, there’s nothing much I want, I just want a Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow…”

Elder Qiu’s mouth twitched.

It was the first time he had seen someone make the most outrageous request with the most bashful expression in front of him.

As an important resource of the sect, even an Elder needed to pay 8,000 contribution points to acquire a Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow.

Elder Qiu was no exception.

This amount of contribution points was not a small sum for him.

“You want a Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow for a few jars of wine?”

Elder Qiu looked at him with a half-smile.

Xiao Shi didn’t speak, just scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly.

But he knew very well in his heart… the value of the wine he offered was completely different in the eyes of ordinary people compared to those who loved alcohol.

Especially for a seasoned alcoholic like Elder Qiu.

If this wine were available for sale in the sect, and its price was equivalent to that of a Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow, Elder Qiu would undoubtedly buy it without hesitation.

Of course.

Elder Qiu could also choose to take it for free now.

Given his status and position, even if he gave nothing, Xiao Shi would have no recourse.

Elder Qiu pondered for a moment.

He looked up at a Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow above.

The Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow, which had been flying joyfully, suddenly stiffened, as if gripped by an invisible, unseen hand, and rapidly fell from the sky, landing directly in front of Elder Qiu.

“It’s yours now,” Elder Qiu said indifferently.

“Thank you, Elder Qiu, you are too generous!”

Xiao Shi was overjoyed.

Although he knew that the wine held a different weight in the other party’s heart compared to ordinary people, he wasn’t entirely confident that the other party would give him the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow.

He just felt that with Elder Qiu’s personality, even if he was unwilling to give the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow, he would certainly offer other items as compensation and wouldn’t take it for free.

No matter what, he wouldn’t suffer a loss.

Obtaining the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow was the best outcome.

“Bring me all the remaining wine you have tomorrow.”

Elder Qiu picked up a wine pot nearby, poured it into a cup, and drank it in one gulp.

“Yes, sir!”

Xiao Shi nodded obediently… Evening.

Xiao Shi returned to his room.

Besides the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow, he also had a bag of freshly caught Spotted Bugs.

“Tomorrow, after giving the wine to Elder Qiu, I’ll go rent a room to store my items.”

Xiao Shi looked at the increasing number of items in his room.

He casually picked up a chicken leg from the table and began to eat it.

These foods, dropped from killing, besides being delicious, would not rot or spoil over time and would remain warm, so there was no need to worry about them getting cold after a while.

“If I encounter greedy senior experts in the future, perhaps I can continue to use this method.”

Xiao Shi thought to himself with satisfaction.

Getting a Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow with a few jars of wine this time was a huge profit!

After all, wine could be dropped by killing Spotted Bugs.

It came relatively easily.

The Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow, however, was extremely difficult to acquire.

For Outer Sect Disciples like them, even if they desperately completed missions, under the most ideal circumstances, it would still take decades to even hope to accumulate 8,000 contribution points.

Generally, the contribution points obtained after completing a mission ranged from 20 to 50.

To accumulate 8,000 contribution points, one would need to complete at least a hundred missions.

It was almost impossible for any Outer Sect Disciple to complete so many missions.

Firstly, those missions outside were fraught with danger and had a high mortality rate.

The more missions executed, the greater the risk of death.

If luck was even slightly bad and they encountered powerful evil spirits, it would be extremely difficult to survive.

Secondly, Outer Sect Disciples only had one year of cultivation time.

After a year, Outer Sect Disciples would need to take on the role of Night Watch, and they wouldn’t have as much time or opportunity to execute missions.

It could be said that the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrows in the sect were never intended for Outer Sect Disciples.

Yet, Xiao Shi had managed to acquire a Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow without completing a single mission, without taking any risks, and without experiencing any crisis.

The Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow, roughly the size of a hen, lay listlessly on the ground.

Xiao Shi had examined it.

There were no external injuries.

He presumed either its internal organs were damaged or its spirit was traumatized.

Xiao Shi was still somewhat shaken by Elder Qiu’s earlier method of making the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow fall from the sky with just a glance.

He knew that such a method was beyond what someone in the Entering Martial Realm could achieve.

It was very likely someone in the Qi Martial Realm, which was above the Entering Martial Realm, or even the higher Blood Martial Realm!

The three realms of martial arts:

Entering Martial, Qi Martial, Blood Martial!

The difference between these three realms was like the difference between heaven and earth.

As for whether there were higher realms above Blood Martial, Xiao Shi did not know.

The highest realm of martial artists he currently knew of was the Blood Martial Realm.

“At my current cultivation speed, I can basically reach the sixth stage of the Entering Martial Realm before becoming a Night Watch.”

“But given the dangers of the Night Watch position…”

“Even at the sixth stage of the Entering Martial Realm, I still won’t have enough self-preservation ability.”

“I need more items to enhance my strength so that I can protect myself safely after becoming a Night Watch.”

Thinking of this.

A glimmer of anticipation flashed in Xiao Shi’s eyes as he looked at the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow.

As an Entering Martial Realm creature, the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow would definitely drop Entering Martial Rank items upon death.

“I hope it’s an item that can enhance my strength and cultivation.”

Xiao Shi thought to himself.

He reached out and gripped the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow’s neck.

The listless Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow seemed to sense the danger and tried to struggle.

However, its struggle was very weak and it couldn’t break free from Xiao Shi’s hand at all.

Crack!

Xiao Shi’s hand exerted force.

He easily snapped its neck.

The moment the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow died.

Xiao Shi clearly felt its body vibrate.

However, the amplitude of the vibration was not large.

But if this vibration were applied to ordinary mosquitoes and Spotted Bugs, it would often cause their bodies to explode.

This also made Xiao Shi understand why the bodies of Entering Martial Realm creatures did not explode upon death.

The bodies of Entering Martial Realm creatures were much stronger than those of ordinary creatures and could fully withstand the vibrations upon death.

Ordinary creatures couldn’t withstand it, so they would explode upon death.

“This is good too, if the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow’s body exploded, it would be difficult for me to obtain its blood and feathers, and I wouldn’t be able to eat it…”

Xiao Shi knew.

The blood and feathers of the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow were important materials for forging weapons.

Although he couldn’t forge.

But he could sell the feathers and blood to the sect in exchange for a certain amount of contribution points.

At the same time, the meat of the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow was also very delicious, and after consumption, it could bring an improvement comparable to about fifteen days of cultivation!

Of course.

The most important thing was the item dropped after the Five-Colored Spirit-Tailed Sparrow’s death.

This was what he anticipated most.

The moment the item dropped, Xiao Shi focused his gaze on it.
