935 The Ancient Races Are Too Narrow-Minded (2)
Feng Wu’s heart turned cold. “Lord, you must be joking. Our griffin race travels the world based on our reputation. Even without a contract, I definitely wouldn’t do such a thing.
“I will definitely not let you down, Lord. I will definitely sell this treasure to the golden-winged roc race. Lord, just wait for my good news!”
He opened his mouth to swallow the thing in his arms. Then he bowed to Zhou Shu again, spread out the wings on his back, and soared into the sky with a woosh. With a few flaps of his wings, he had already disappeared from Zhou Shu’s vision.
There are really many winged races among these ancient races. They’re all like birdmen, Zhou Shu thought.
Since coming to ancient times, he had only seen a few races. Apart from the giant spirit race and the fire race, most of the other races had wings on their backs. This was very different from later generations.
Boom!
A loud bang came from behind. Zhou Shu turned around and saw the fire phoenix’s figure suddenly expand before quickly retracting. In the end, it disappeared, and Ling’er appeared in his vision again.
She didn’t look much different from before, except for a strand of fiery red hair on her forehead.
She looked confused, as if she still hadn’t figured out what had happened.
“Ling’er?” Zhou Shu called her tentatively.
Ling’er looked over. “Master.”
Hearing her speak, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ling’er didn’t become a different person.
“Master, I feel like I’m about to become a big bird. What should I do?” Ling’er frowned.
The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly as he laughed. “It’s okay. This is because you have mastered an ability. You won’t really become a big bird.”
“No, I will really change,” Ling’er said seriously. Before she could finish speaking, she really turned into a bird with a bang!
No, she didn’t turn into a bird. She turned into a fire phoenix with flames all over!
Zhou Shu was dumbfounded. This is the power of a true spirit?
Could Ling’er’s true form be a phoenix?
Is she a human or a demonic beast?
No, she’s neither a human nor a demonic beast. She’s a member of the fire race.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shu accepted it. The ancient races were neither humans nor demonic beasts.
The fire phoenix flapped its wings and flew around Zhou Shu while shouting, “Master, look, I’ve really become a bird!”
Zhou Shu found it very interesting. “Then, can you still become Ling’er?”
“Even if I become a bird, I’ll still be Ling’er. Master, you’re wrong!” Ling’er said. Fire flashed on her body, and then she became a cute little girl again.
“Master, is this because of the cultivation techniques you taught me?” Ling’er asked curiously.
“No,” Zhou Shu said. “This is the innate ability in your bloodline. Ling’er, have you remembered your own identity?”
“Master, did you become stupid? I am Ling’er,” Ling’er said in puzzlement.
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. Only Ling’er would dare to say such things to him. If it were anyone else, he would have beaten them up so badly that no one would be able to recognize them.
“You’re Ling’er, but you’re also the little princess of the fire race,” Zhou Shu said.
“Fire race? No, I’m from the giant spirit race. Look at how big I am…” Ling’er was confused.
“All ancient races are big,” Zhou Shu said helplessly. It seemed that Ling’er didn’t have a clear understanding of her identity. Although she could become a fire phoenix, she still thought that she was a giant spirit.
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, “Whether you’re from the giant spirit race or the fire race, you’re my good disciple.”
Ling’er was not conflicted about her identity to begin with, and she suddenly said mysteriously, “Master, let me give you a gift.”
“Give me a gift?” Zhou Shu looked at Ling’er in surprise as an idea flashed through his mind.
Feng Wu had just said that the reason the fire race was destroyed was that the golden-winged roc race, the silver scale race, and the bai ze race coveted a treasure of the fire race. Now that Ling’er had just awakened the Fire Phoenix True Spirit, she immediately wanted to give him a gift.
Zhou Shu couldn’t help thinking of this.
“There’s no need.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Keep it for yourself. Don’t take out the thing so casually. I don’t lack good things.”
He was a little curious about the fire race’s treasure, but it belonged to Ling’er. How could he snatch something from his disciple?
“That’s no good,” Ling’er said seriously. “Master, you taught me how to cultivate. How can I not give you a gift?
“Daddy taught me not to benefit from others for no reason.”
Zhou Shu shook his head. “I’m not anyone else. I’m your master.”
“But I have to give you a gift for you to acknowledge me as your disciple. Otherwise, why would you take me in as your disciple?” Ling’er said with a serious expression.
With that, she raised her hand high. A flame flickered, and something appeared in her palm.
This… Zhou Shu’s pupils constricted. There was actually a Divine Stone in Ling’er’s palm!
The treasure coveted by the golden-winged roc race, the silver scale race, and the bai ze race is a Divine Stone?
Although the Divine Stone is precious, it shouldn’t attract the covetous eyes of the three races, right?
It’s not that precious.
“Master, I found this in my stomach when I became a big bird,” Ling’er said mysteriously. “I think it’s a good thing, but it’s useless for me to keep it. Master, will you accept it?”
“It’s a Divine Stone. It’s indeed useful to me.” Zhou Shu nodded.
It was just a Divine Stone. It was indeed useless in Ling’er’s hands.
But in his hands, he could use it to forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon.
But aren’t Divine Stones the product of Grotto-Heaven realm experts refining the heavens into stones?
Ten thousand years ago, spiritual essence cultivation had yet to appear. Why would a Divine Stone appear?
Zhou Shu was a little puzzled. Could it be that a Grotto-Heaven realm expert appeared in the fire race, causing them to be exterminated?
It wasn’t impossible. The ancient races were extremely talented. If they had cultivation techniques, their cultivation speed would be unimaginably fast.
After the Giant Spirit King, Cang Huan, obtained the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, he had cultivated to the Earth Immortal realm in a day. This speed was almost unimaginable in the future.
The ancient races are really narrow-minded. For a Divine Stone, they actually caused such a commotion.
Zhou Shu reached out and picked up the Divine Stone in Ling’er’s hand. “I’ll accept this Divine Stone. It just so happens that I can use it to forge a grotto-heaven divine weapon for you. As my disciple, how can you not have a grotto-heaven divine weapon?”
Zhou Shu smiled. Without the Divine Stone, even he couldn’t make bricks out of straw. Ordinary connate divine weapons were not worthy of Ling’er at all.
Ling’er blinked and asked, “Master, what is a grotto-heaven divine weapon?”
“Grotto-heaven divine weapons are good things.” Zhou Shu smiled. “This Divine Stone is nothing great. Only those bumpkins who have never seen the world would think it’s special.”
Zhou Shu held the Divine Stone in his hand, his heart full of disdain for the golden-winged roc race, the silver scale race, and the bai ze race.
