Chapter 97: Chat on the Pinxin Peak

On the Pinxin Peak

In the days that passed, the Pinxin Peak turned into the focal point. The nesting of the Mutated Rain Swallows even overshadowed the commotion brought on by the beast tide!

They made a nest! They actually made a nest on the Pinxin Peak! Shang Quan stood on the peak of the Pinxin Peak and stared at the cliff below where the Mutated Rain Swallows were making their nest. The grin on his face hadnt faded in a long time.

Shang Xia rubbed one of the Rain Swallows in his hand and sent a strand of his inner qi into its body before chuckling, Uncle Quan, you came here almost every day They started building their nest a few days ago! Why are you acting so surprised?

No! For the past few days, theyve been flying around aimlessly around the peak! I cant relax till they actually settle down! Shang Quan snorted.

The next moment, he saw Shang Xia raising his hand slightly and the Mutated Rain Swallow that was on his arm chirped happily before flying down to the nest on the cliff face. He continued, Dont you know that the other peaks have been trying their best to lure the birds over? Even the main peak pulled out all the stops. They brought out all sorts of spiritual herbs, and all sorts of worm-like creatures they caught outside. There was so much good stuff that I wasnt confident that we would be able to keep the rain swallows! Hah! All of them are shameless bastards!

Shang Xia smiled and waved his hand once as another Mutated Rain Swallow came down to perch on his forearms. Of course they would. The fur of the Mutated Rain Swallows is used to make Embroidered Cloud Cases and Spatial Pouches. Everyone would wish that the birds would nest at their stronghold.

That wasnt all! The usefulness of the flock displayed itself when they discovered the beast tide! They managed to lead so many disciples back to the Tongyou Peak and allowed us to preserve most of our fighting power to deal with the incoming attack. Shang Quan added.

Sending a strand of his inner qi into the bird in his hand, Shang Xia sighed, There are many species of birds in the battlefield between the two worlds Many of them are even stronger than the Mutated Rain Swallows! Why dont they head out and catch some themselves?

Heh Capturing the birds alive is another matter altogether. Do you think theyve been wasting their lives away for the past twenty years? If its so easy to capture those creatures, why do you think the Wind Swallow Race is experiencing such troubles now? Shang Quan snorted.

Its too bad the Mutated Rain Swallows were hunted down by the Wolf Eagles and eaten by the giant snake Many of them died Even after so long, the Lightning Bird only gathered close to 120 of them. Looks like thats all the survivors out there Shang Xia sighed when he thought about what happened.

Yeah Its a pity! It's difficult to gather the swallow fur even with 200 of them Now, its only going to get slower Shang Quan shook his head slightly.

Shang Xia didnt know what to say in response, but he suddenly thought about the Wolf Eagle Yun Yifei caught during their escape. Didnt Senior Yun capture one of the Wolf Eagles when we were on our way back?

Its dead. Shang Quan chuckled with a hint of mockery in his tone. Their intentions were clear as day. Too bad the Wolf Eagle refused to eat anything and died of hunger yesterday.

A frown formed on Shang Xias face. What a pity.

All of a sudden, he thought of something. Uncle Quan, there should be many people who came over to our Pinxin Peak, right?

Shang Quan snorted slightly. Yeah! Did you already hear about it?

Tapping the back of the Mutated Rain Swallow on his arm and indicating for it to leave, Shang Xia raised an eyebrow slightly. I might have been taking care of the swallows and assisting the Lightning Bird in his search for the rest of the Mutated Rain Swallows, but Im not stupid. Theyre being too obvious with their actions.

Well, they cant be considered spies, All theyre doing is looking at you from afar! They dont dare to interrupt you from bringing more Mutated Rain Swallow back to the Pinxin Peak. Shang Quan explained. After the matter of the Swallow Fur got out, almost all the craftsmen on the Tongyou Peak went crazy. All of them wanted to look at the rain swallows that have nested here. Of course, the appearance of the Lightning Bird is equally noteworthy. There are some who came here to obtain a feather of the Lightning Bird! Dont forget, you were the one who provided the cultivation method of the Chaos Essence Lightning Palm to the institution

Shang Xia sneered in contempt. Are they really so bored? Dont they have anything else to do? Its not like the beast tide is over. Why arent they going out to deal with the invading beasts?

Relax Our clan will definitely do something about it. They wont be able to bother you.

Even so, Shang Xia continued, Heh, theyre probably still trying to find out how I managed to tame the Mutated Rain Swallows!

Shang Quan sighed silently in his heart.

In the past few days, the Shang Clan received quite a lot of pressure regarding the Mutated Rain Swallows.

If Shang Xia only brought back Yan Nier, they could explain that it was a coincidence.

However, he could communicate with the Lightning Bird and control the flock of Mutated Rain Swallows! It wasnt as simple as taming a single Mutated Rain Swallow anymore!

The most important part of it was the fact that the flock remained calm and followed Shang Xia obediently during the beast tide! It was known to the world that whenever a beast tide happened, every single creature would go into a frenzy and attack anything in its way!

No To put it more accurately, everyone realized that Shang Xia managed to calm them down to avoid the effects of the beast tide!

That was too unusual!

After they returned, Shang Xia retreated to the Pinxin Peak and refused to speak about the matter regarding the beast tide.

From their observations, the other members of the Tongyou Peak could tell that he was using his inner qi to reduce the impact of the beast tide on the little birds.

Wouldnt that mean that there was something special about his inner qi? How was it able to produce such miraculous effects?

Was his inner qi only effective in calming down the Mutated Rain Swallows or could it affect the killing intent of other beasts?!

Was he able to subdue the entire flock of Mutated Rain Swallows because of his special inner qi? Could he do the same to other species?

Was there a way to extend the use of his inner qi?

One had to know that the beasts in the battlefield between the two worlds posed just as much of a threat as the cultivators from the Four Spiritual Peak!

If Shang Xias inner qi was effective in reducing the threat, even just by a little bit, the cultivators of the Tongyou Peak would be able to avoid a lot more unnecessary deaths!

In the past 20 years, the creatures that roamed the battlefield between two worlds would attack any cultivators regardless of the world they came from! The Outreach Division managed to get their hands on a mixed-blooded pigeon in the battlefield between the two worlds and that enabled them to transmit information from the Tongyou Peak to the Tongyou Institution!

As such, many people became extremely curious about Shang Xias ability!

If not for the fact that the higher ups of the Tongyou Institution were adamant about protecting him and his contributions to the great war that passed, the pressure on the Pinxin Peak would be much stronger than it was!

Other people were wondering what Shang Xias special ability was, but he was also extremely curious!

Initially, he thought that it was because of his cultivation method, the Triple Mystery Polarity Art! But now, it doesn't seem so! nw stries at n/vel/b/i/n(.)co

The technique might be hard to learn, but there were some cultivators in the institution who had succeeded learning it in the past! At the very least, Shang Xia knew that Jia Yuntian who turned out to be a spy for the Rose Party had successfully cultivated it!

There was another possibility that his ability to tame the creature was due to the Yin Yang Diagram in his dantian. However, there was no way to verify it!

It was also probable that it had something to do with the way he advanced! How many people could advance in the face of an Origin Tide? During the process, his inner qi might have transformed to gain additional properties.

Even if those reasons were true, other cultivators wouldnt be able to replicate it!

Even if you bring these reasons out, they might not believe it! Shang Quan shook his head in response. However, he quickly broke out into laughter. Its alright Everyone has their own secrets. No one will try to force you to reveal all your cards. At least, they wont do so on the surface.

Shang Xia understood the meaning behind his uncles words. He had to defend himself against the hidden threats that were about to come his way!

Enough of this! All this talk is getting annoying Shang Xia switched the topic all of a sudden. Uncle Quan, I brought back the entire flock of Mutated Rain Swallows Shouldnt the clan be rewarding me?

I knew it! Shang Quan chided before revealing a jade talisman in his hand. He tossed it over to Shang Xia.

Catching it, Shang Xia felt the energy contained within and whistled, Another rank three talisman?!

What do you mean again?! Do you think rank three talismans grow on trees?! This is a rank three talisman called the Suspended Spear! Your Grandpa Ke left a trace of his divine sense inside and it contained the full-powered strike of a Martial Intent Realm cultivator at the peak of the cultivation level. Its a useful life saving tool!

Shang Xia knew the power of a rank three talisman. After all, his aunt gave him one previously, allowing him to escape Sang Youqis repeated attacks.

One had to know that Shang Xis cultivation was far from Shang Ke! Shang Ke reached the third layer of the Martial Intent Realm, and Shang Xi was barely at the first layer!

In fact, Shang Ke had half a foot in the Martial Extermination Realm!

Shang Xia kept the talisman and a grin formed on his face. I heard that grandpa killed the giant snake the other day and brought its body back. I heard that by refining the extermination origin, one would be able to create another Martial Extermination Realm cultivator! Do you think Fifth Grandpa will get the chance to

Shang Quan shook his head helplessly. Do you think its possible? No one will allow a second Martial Extermination Realm cultivator to appear in our Shang Clan so quickly! Moreover, the extermination origin from the snake contains deadly poison! Your Grandpa Ke wouldnt want to risk his life on something like that!
