202: Fools are sometimes lucky

A few days later, Lu Tao and the other three returned to the Sect together.

"Here, this is the beast egg I specially picked for you!"

As soon as he entered Lingyun Villa, Lu Tao stuffed a flawless white beast egg into Su Ling's hands.

The beast egg felt warm and smooth to the touch. Its surface bore natural auspicious cloud patterns and emitted a peaceful aura that calmed the mind.

[Spirit Eye Crane, a Fourth-Tier Demonic Beast egg. It requires nourishment from both Water and Wood elemental Spiritual Qi to hatch. A non-combat spiritual bird, its spirit eyes can see through illusions and locate Spirit Medicine. Its dance and cries can calm the mind and assist in Dao enlightenment.]

"This is a Spirit Eye Crane egg. Once it reaches adulthood, its flight speed is comparable to a High Grade Flying Boat."

As they sat down in the courtyard, Qi Yunling explained, "Collecting some Water and Wood elemental Spirit Stones or spirit crystals will speed up the hatching process."

"Hehe, I spent a million Low-Grade Spirit Stones specifically to buy this for you!"

Lu Tao grinned, fishing for credit. "The beast egg I got for myself only cost fifty thousand."

As he spoke, he pulled out a dull, grey, and unremarkable beast egg.

"That one of yours is just an Iron Feather Eagle egg. Its cultivation value is extremely low!"

Qi Yunling glanced at it and scolded him with a look of disappointment, "The normal price would never exceed twenty thousand. I really don't know what you were thinking."

The Iron Feather Eagle was a Third-tier Demon Beast. Aside from its feathers having decent defensive power, its attack power and speed were not outstanding.

Furthermore, its individual strength reached the Fourth-Tier Early Stage at most.

How could it compare to a flying Yao Beast like the Spirit Eye Crane, which had an upper limit of the Fifth-Tier Peak?

"Aiya, I just felt like it was fate!"

Lu Tao argued stubbornly, "When I saw it, I just felt like this little guy was particularly endearing!"

"You, weren't you just short on money..."

Song Moting shook his head helplessly, ruthlessly exposing Lu Tao. "You'd rather wrong yourself just to buy a good beast pet for Junior Brother Su. However, the relationship between you two is quite enviable."

Luo Xuanxiao nodded silently on the side, a trace of envy flashing in his eyes.

"Whatever, I like it anyway."

Lu Tao waved his hand dismissively, cradling the grey beast egg in his arms and stroking it carefully.

Hearing this, Su Ling was moved, but the look he gave Lu Tao was inevitably a bit strange.

Should he say that simple people have simple blessings?

Or was it predestined... Under Su Ling's Immortal Eye of Treasure Appraisal, that dull grey beast egg in Lu Tao's hand was no Iron Feather Eagle.

[Sky-Rending Golden-Winged Eagle, a Sixth-Tier Yao Beast egg. It is malnourished and in a state of dormancy. It requires nourishment day and night from Refined Gold Qi and Gold-attribute Spirit Stones. Upon reaching adulthood, it can awaken part of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Divine Beast Bloodline. Its claws and beak can pierce anything, and a single wing-beat can cover ninety thousand miles. It is the absolute overlord of the sky.]

The Golden-Winged Great Peng was a top-tier Divine Beast that could reach the level of a Demon Immortal or even a Demon God upon reaching adulthood.

Its speed, defense, and attack power were all at the absolute Peak.

Although the Sky-Rending Golden-Winged Eagle only contained a portion of the Divine Beast Bloodline, its upper limit was extremely high—at least at the Demon Immortal level.

Lu Tao had stumbled into acquiring it by accident.

Perhaps it really was as he said—he felt that this beast egg was extremely close to him.

After all, he himself possessed a supreme grade Gold Spiritual Root!

However, the number of Spirit Stones required to hatch a malnourished Golden-Winged Eagle was by no means a small sum.

With Lu Tao's current net worth, he might not actually be able to afford to feed this beast egg.

"I just withdrew five months of my allowance and paid off my debt to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion."

Su Ling thought for a moment and handed one million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to Lu Tao. "In a few days, I have to go out with Revered Master. It might be several decades before we meet again. Take these Spirit Stones and use them."

"Ah, going for that long?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

"Yes, I'm going to the Chenxi Star Domain. The journey is extremely long."

Su Ling gave a brief explanation and took the opportunity to remind Lu Tao, "I see that your beast egg seems a bit malnourished. Iron Feather Eagles are Gold-attribute Yao Beasts. You should buy some Gold-attribute Spirit Stones and spiritual items to supplement it. It might even Breakthrough its Innate limitations after hatching."

"Now that you mention it, it does seem like that."

Lu Tao looked over the beast egg in his arms and nodded solemnly. "No wonder I always felt like this little guy seemed a bit sickly."

Hearing him say this, Qi Yunling and the other two couldn't help but roll their eyes in unison.

Only Su Ling, with his great wealth, would spoil him like this.

Gold-attribute Spirit Stones and spiritual items were originally the resources Lu Tao needed for his own cultivation.

They guessed Su Ling said it that way mainly to make sure Lu Tao spent the Spirit Stones on himself.

Of course, the three of them knew Lu Tao's character and didn't directly voice their thoughts... Time flew by, and soon a month had passed.

Su Ling, who was doing his daily lessons, was startled awake by the vibration of his illusionary color token.

He immediately packed his belongings and headed for the Tingtao Water Pavilion.

In the small courtyard, Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable stood gracefully. Seeing Su Ling arrive, she directly summoned a beautiful small Flying Boat.

This Flying Boat was crafted entirely from shimmering starlight crystals. Its hull was wrapped in silver-blue star-vein patterns, the bow was carved in the shape of a firefly spreading its wings, and the stern trailed a seven-colored band of light.

As it sat quietly in mid-air, it looked like a piece of art condensed from the starry sky.

The divine runes of the Immortal Eye of Treasure Appraisal flickered, but for a moment, he could not see through the details of this Flying Boat.

"Let's go."

Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable raised her hand, bringing Su Ling onto the Flying Boat with her.

With a flick of a hand seal, the Flying Boat instantly turned into a streak of light and vanished into the Void Realm, flying toward the space beyond the plane.

After a long while, the feedback from the Immortal Eye of Treasure Appraisal finally surfaced in Su Ling's mind.

[Star-Vein Illusory Sea Boat, a High Grade flight-type Immortal Artifact. Crafted entirely from Starlight Glaze, it possesses the 'Star-Track Leap' Divine Ability, allowing it to instantly cross millions of miles using star coordinates. The interior contains the 'Illusory Sea Secret Realm,' which can accommodate tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields and a hundred elegant rooms. It comes with a Space Folding Technique, allowing the boat to shrink to the size of a fingertip jade pendant, and can create spatial illusions to deceive enemies.]

"An Immortal Artifact?!"

Su Ling was shocked. When he entered the Flying Boat just now, he had noticed something was slightly off.

From the outside, this illusory sea boat looked only a few dozen feet long, but after entering, a courtyard had appeared before his eyes.

It wasn't until the Immortal Eye of Treasure Appraisal peered into its true form that he realized what was happening.

His Revered Master was already skilled in the Law of Space. It wasn't surprising that the illusory sea boat she used for herself would have a Space Folding secret technique.

"There are many guest rooms here. You can pick any one to rest in," Clear Ripple Immortal Venerable said casually, pointing ahead. "Follow this path further in, and you'll find many spiritual fields. When you have nothing to do, you can wander around in there. If there are any Spirit Medicines suitable for you, just take them... I will remind you when we arrive."

"Thank you, Revered Master."

Su Ling was overjoyed and quickly accepted.

Even if Revered Master was a Golden Immortal and had no use for low-level Spirit Medicines,

there should still be some in the corners that he could use!

Moreover, the Spirit Eye Crane egg needed Wood-attribute Spiritual Qi for nourishment.

In this kind of environment, the hatching speed would surely be very fast.
