Otherworldly-Cultivator

"Why do I feel that you brag too much about Long Wang, Mom?" Diao Hudie asked with a frown. "He is only 22 years old now, and judging from his current cultivation, he should not have cultivated for too long, so I find it difficult to believe that he could learn so many things in such a short time; even genius cultivators like Bai Lanhua and Xuanyuan Lanyin would not be able to do such things."

"You are quite skilled compared to common swordmasters, so you can try sparring in swordsmanship with Long Wang, but I'm sure that he can defeat you easily." After she said that, Diao Wudie left her daughter's room, especially since she was too lazy to argue with Diao Hudie.

After that, Diao Hudie also left her room and went to Huxin Xiaozhu to cultivate, especially since the flow of time inside the residence was five times faster.

"What brings you here again, young man?"

"Senior Sikong, I was looking for some herbs, and your shop is the most complete in this city, so I decided to come here." Chen Li then handed him one of the quest sheets. "I need two stalks of phoenix tail herb and 10 years of golden bull grass."

"Hmm?" Sikong Ye thought for a moment before reaching his hand towards one of the shelves, and a box slid into his grasp. "I have 10 years of golden bull grass, and I can give it to you for free, especially since it's not that useful. However, I don't have phoenix tail herb, but you can look for it in the mist forest."

"Mist forest?" Chen Li was surprised to hear that. "Shouldn't I look for it in the volcano, Senior?"

"No." Sikong Ye shook his head. "The phoenix tail herb is indeed an herb with a high concentration of fire qi, but it doesn't grow in the volcano. There is a special place in the mist forest, and it grows abundantly there. However, that place is protected by a fierce guardian beast, and its cultivation is in the peak stage heaven realm, so your cultivation is not enough to deal with it."

"Oh?" Chen Li's eyes lit up after hearing that, especially since he wanted to find a beast contract for one of his women, and such a high-level beast was very suitable for that. "What kind of beast is protecting that place?"

Sikong Ye then took out a painting of a red bird, which was quite beautiful. It had two tassels on the top of its head, but it was still not as beautiful as the phoenix. "No one knows where this firebird came from, and it has lived there for hundreds of years. Even so, this beast has never attacked humans, but it will attack anyone who tries to enter that place; even I was attacked by it once."

Chen Li took the painting, and he looked at it while thinking about something. 'Xian'er is a phoenix, and she is strong enough to protect herself. Keiko also has fighting experience, so she can still protect herself. However, Xuan'er is weak and inexperienced in fighting, so I think this beast is suitable to become her beast contract.'

"Are you thinking about meeting that beast?" Sikong Ye asked after he saw Chen Li's strange smile.

"I don't have any other choice, right?" Chen Li answered as he returned the painting to Sikong Ye. "I need the phoenix tail herb to complete my mission, so I have to go there to get it. As for the firebird, it may be much stronger than me, but I have a solution to tame it."

"Are you serious about taming that firebird?" Sikong Ye asked with a look of shock.

Chen Li nodded to him. "Some of my wives have the fire element, and the firebird is powerful, so I wanted to give it as a gift to one of them."

'This kid is surely insane! It's fine if he wanted to give his wife a gift, but he's too weak to tame that firebird, and he'll probably be burned to ashes by it!' But alas, Sikong Ye underestimated Chen Li too much, especially since he didn't know about his golden flame, let alone his five-clawed golden dragon bloodline. "Sigh, I don't know where your confidence comes from, but you should be careful when you encounter that bird, and I don't want to be blamed for your death, especially since I was the one who gave you this information."

"Haha." Chen Li laughed when he heard that, and he then spoke to reassure him. "Thank you for your concern, Senior Sikong. I have many wives and fiancees who will be sad if I die, and I certainly won't make them sad, so I will act very carefully. Anyway, you can check that place tomorrow, and you won't be able to find that beast there."

"Hmm?" Sikong Ye raised an eyebrow as he observed Chen Li's confident look. "Actually, I myself would be happy if that beast was no longer there, so I could harvest herbs in that place more freely. In that case, I will go to that place tomorrow, and I hope you can really tame it."

After he kept the 10 years of golden bull grass, Chen Li left the shop, but Xiao Huoli suddenly appeared beside him. "Do you need my help to tame that firebird?"

"No." Chen Li immediately rejected Xiao Huoli's offer while hugging her waist. "Even though the firebird's cultivation has reached the peak stage heaven realm, it is still an ordinary beast, and I can use the superiority of my bloodline to tame it."

"That's true." Xiao Huoli then pointed towards a building. "Do you want to meet Wei'er and Xianglin? They are currently in that two-story building, but they are busy preparing to open our restaurant branch, and Zi Yao has already brought some people to help them."

"Since they're busy now, I'll go see them later, and I'll go see Xian'er now." Xiao Huoli nodded in understanding, and she disappeared from Chen Li's sight. However, he didn't immediately go to see his wife and went to an empty place while asking Xing Bao'er to enter Tianyi Realm, and he picked her up from there. "You've lived in there or at our residence for a while, so I want to take you for a walk around this city, and I'll take you to meet the others later."

"Hehe." Xing Bao'er giggled while hugging Chen Li's head. "I was bored and wanted to look around this realm, but you've been too busy in the past few months, so I didn't want to disturb you, Big Brother."

Chen Li shook her head at the little girl. "Bao'er, you don't need to be like that, okay? If you feel bored and want to go for a walk, then you can tell me or the others, and we'll take you to have fun."

"I know, but-"

"No buts." Chen Li interrupted Xing Bao'er. "You are our family, so you don't need to feel embarrassed about asking us for anything."

"All right, I'll tell you and the others another time."

"That's good." After that, Chen Li took Xing Bao'er for a walk in eastern volcano city, and he also took her to Ouyang Qibo's forging workshop to buy some forging materials.

However, Chen Li couldn't find him there, and the people around the area told him that Ouyang Qibo had been gone for a few days, but no one knew where he had gone, so he continued strolling around the city with Xing Bao'er.

Meanwhile, a giant brown dragon flew into a realm, but there was nothing in that realm apart from the vast expanse of sea and land—not even a single living creature there.

The giant brown dragon was none other than Long Sha, and she had traveled for almost two months to arrive at that realm. Soon, she returned to her human form and spread her senses throughout the realm, but she became disappointed after she couldn't find what she was looking for. "As far as I remember, the entrance to the celestial realm should be in this realm, but why can't I find it? Could it be that it moved by itself? How can I look for Sister Tianxi like this?"

After she thought for a moment, Long Sha then flew around the realm at high speed, and her eyes continued to monitor every area he passed, but she still didn't see anything there.

However, Long Sha suddenly saw a rainbow light from the center of the realm, so she immediately flew there to check, and a door appeared from the bottom of the sea. "Damn it! I didn't expect that the entrance was hidden at the bottom of the sea, and this sea was also covered by strange formations, so I couldn't find it."

After the door floated into the air, it suddenly opened by itself, and an old man with foot-long white hair walked out from inside, but Long Sha's presence surprised him. "A dragon race? What did you come here for, young dragon?"

"Old man, you are a member of the celestial race, right?"

"Yes." The old man answered with a nod. "My name is Tian Shen, so what are you doing in this realm? Why don't you hide in the dragon realm?"

Long Sha let out a sigh of relief after knowing Tian Shen's identity. "Actually, I came here to look for Big Sister Tianxi; is she in the celestial realm now?"
