A small independent cultivator without any sect or school, but made a deal with the Heavenly Dao

"Master, the mission is completed. A new reward has arrived. It is a good luck charm, valid for seven days."

"Then put it away first. I'll get it from you when I need it."

"Why hasn't Hongyu absorbed all of it yet? It can't be that its body can't handle absorbing too much at once."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light burst out from Hongyu's body and swept towards the surroundings. Pei Cangli retreated quickly. Judging from the momentum, he should have successfully built his foundation.

When the surrounding atmosphere stabilized, Hongyu slowly opened his eyes. This time, his body size was three times larger than before.

"Hongyu, now that you've grown up, can you take me flying?"

After a cultivator has established his foundation, he can fly with a sword or manipulate a magical instrument. Pei Cangli thought that after she has established her foundation, she can let Zi Mei transform into a flying carpet and lie on it comfortably.

"Sister, of course you can. Don't worry, I will only take you flying. No one else can sit on me."

"Hongyu, you are only flying with your master, what about me and Zimei? Didn't we agree to be a family?" Cangcang joked from the side.

"Then add you and Zi Mei. No more. If there are more, I won't be able to fly."

Then let Hongyu take everyone to experience high-altitude flying. Today is the day to be taken flying by Hongyu!

"By the way, Hongyu, can you change your appearance now? You are too eye-catching in your current appearance. I am afraid that if someone with bad intentions sets eyes on you when we are in a crowded place, I will not be able to protect you. After all, everyone will be jealous of the divine beast Suzaku."

"I can't change my human form yet. With my current cultivation level, I can only change the color of my feathers."

"That's fine, as long as you don't have red feathers and don't breathe fire casually, no one will associate you with Suzaku."

"Master, if we let Hongyu fly over, we will arrive soon, but we don't have spirit stones, so I'm afraid we won't be able to move forward."

"I didn't plan to let Hongyu fly over directly. I'm only at the Qi Refining Stage, and I don't know what level of cultivation the cultivators in Lintian City have. It's better to keep a low profile. In addition, we will communicate directly with spiritual consciousness in front of others in the future."

"Cang Cang, you are my biggest trump card, and the one that cannot be exposed. When the time comes, go to the city and buy a storage bag. Put the things we often use in it, and put some valuable things produced by the system in your space."

"With everything unknown, I don't want others to notice us. And Hongyu, I have to let you down in front of others. You are just an ordinary monster. Breathing fire is just your instinct. Don't show that you have developed consciousness or that your soul is powerful."

"Sister, don't worry. I understand. You're afraid that I'll be coveted by bad guys, so you're greedy and want to hurt me. So from now on, if nothing else, I'll turn into a small gray bird and lie on your shoulder. When you need me to change back to my original form, I'll try my best to disguise myself."

Pei Cangli nodded with satisfaction. She was worthy of being the one she brought up. She was so sensible at such a young age. She hoped that Zi Mei would also be as sensible when she gave birth to a spirit in the future.

Speaking of Zi Mei, I have to give it a few words of advice, "I know you are eager to transform and want to cultivate your weapon spirit as soon as possible so that you can communicate with us. But when you become a weapon in the future and absorb blood, you must be careful to only absorb the blood of monsters and not directly suck the opponent dry."

Zi Mei shook Pei Cangli's wrist twice, which was rare, as if she understood what she meant. It seemed that the monster had indeed changed after it was drained dry last time.

"Before entering the city, there is a dense forest. There are many first- and second-level monsters in that forest. Hongyu can practice and consolidate his cultivation. Besides, the seasoning fruit you found at the waterfall last time is almost gone. You can go to this forest to take a look."

"Hongyu, do you see that stream ahead? Stop there. I'll grill some fish for you and prepare some dry food. You and Cangcang, go find some solitary monsters to practice with. It would be best if the monsters' bodies can be exchanged for spirit stones."

"Cangcang, if you see anything that can be exchanged for spirit stones, ask Hongyu to bring it back. Our family is poor and has a lot of expenses, so we are not picky."

In my previous life, I worked overtime every day as a social animal for a few pieces of silver. Now that I have finally traveled through time, I still have to worry about spirit stones. It is true that without money, I can't move forward. Fortunately, I still have Cang Cang, who can reward me from time to time. Otherwise, if I only earn spirit stones every day, I would not even have time to practice.

When Pei Cangli's grilled fish was almost done, Hongyu and Cangcang came back after smelling the scent. While pouring things out, they said that they had plucked all the leaves nearby.

Looking at the pile of animal skins and bones, as well as fruits of various trees and a large number of leaves on the ground, are you sure these leaves can also be exchanged for spirit stones?

Pei Cangli looked at Hongyu in disbelief. I just asked you to find things that can be exchanged for spirit stones, not to pick up junk!

Cang Cang hurriedly explained, "Master, of course these leaves cannot be exchanged for spirit stones, but we can use them ourselves. The seasoning fruit we had last time is not available nearby, but this kind of leaves can be used for seasoning, and the taste is stronger than the fruit last time."

After eating the grilled fish, Pei Cangli also joined the ranks of picking up scraps. She plucked feathers from passing geese, and swept away all the monsters she could see, leaving no one unkilled, and gave them all to Hongyu to consolidate her cultivation. She herself turned into a master of cleaning, collecting anything she saw that could be exchanged for spirit stones into the space.

"Master, we have too many things, they are too messy and chaotic, and the space is almost full."

Then find a place to rest and let Hongyu adjust himself, and sort these things out by the way. When there is a storage bag, put all these things in the storage bag, so that they can be taken out and sold directly.

While processing things, suddenly there was a light not far away, and there was a faint sound of fighting. This was not far from Lintian City. Could someone dare to kill people and rob here? He quickly sorted out the remaining things and put them away, letting Hongyu lie on his shoulders to hide.

Pei Cangli sneaked to the side of a big tree, hid his body as much as possible, and quietly climbed up the tree. Below were three monks fighting, and two middle-aged men in gray robes were besieging a young man from the front and the back.

The young man had his hair tied up in a bun with a jade hairpin, and was wearing a white outfit with green bamboo patterns embroidered on it, which looked like a sect's uniform. He was holding a flying sword in his hand, and facing the fierce attacks from the two people in front and behind him, he was still able to fight back with ease.

On the other hand, the two gray-robed men, after realizing that they could not defeat the young man after a long attack, stopped attacking from the front and back and started to use a two-in-one formation. At the same time, one of the men took advantage of the young man's counterattack to throw a poison needle at him.

When the young man saw the poison needle flying towards him, he was horrified and tried to block it with his flying sword. However, the poison needle was stabbed into the ground by his flying sword. Unfortunately, he was not careful and was attacked by the formation on the back. The young man turned around and used his flying sword to quickly swing out a sword energy, which barely stopped the formation from continuing to attack.

Seeing that the young man was injured, the two gray-robed men removed the formation and surrounded the young man again, one in front and one behind. The man who threw the poison needle took out his magic weapon that contained the poison needle, intending to kill the young man with one blow.

Pei Cangli made hand gestures and quickly shot dozens of water balls at the gray-robed man. At the same time, he jumped down from the tree and stood back to back with the young man. "I'll deal with the one throwing poison needles, and you deal with the one wielding the sword."

As he spoke, Pei Cangli threw out ten water balls from his left hand, which went straight to the man's face. Then, from his right hand, another ten water arrows went towards the man's limbs, making him too busy to deal with them and leaving him no time to launch the poison needle.

"At such a young age, you can actually do it. Separate your hands and make hand gestures. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business and put yourself in danger that you don't know about."

"Thank you very much for your reminder. Unfortunately, I cannot stand the strong bullying the weak. It just so happens that we are two against two now, so it can't be considered that you are bullying the weak."

"Little girl, you may be young, but you are so arrogant. Let's see if you have the ability to survive in our hands."
