Eternal Life (永生) Ch. 12
Crane Fairy
The “Spirit Tamer Tablet” mysteriously floated in the air, loosening up Fang Han’s thoughts.
Blood-binding could allow Mortal Realm pract.i.tioners to use various magic treasures; that was simply an unmatchable advantage. As only those who trained in martial arts knew, with only one’s flesh, one would be unable to use extreme amounts of power.
Mortal bodies couldn’t fly, and feared swords and arrows, poison, water, fire, lightning, and other types of a.s.sault. Thus, even if one trained to the tenth level, G.o.dly transformation, of the Mortal Realm, and became able to resist being pulled apart by horses, one still couldn’t escape death.
However, if they managed to comprehend the secrets of the Divine Realm and gain an understanding that would allow them to cultivate magic and enter the Divine Realm, it would be different.
But how hard was it to comprehend a secret of the Divine Realm? Out of ten thousand high level pract.i.tioners, only one would succeed, blessed by their ancestors, and the heavens.
At this time, the benefits of magic treasures would appear.
If a person stuck at in the Mortal Realm had a flying sword, what would happen? If one could, after blood-binding, kill anyone within a thousand steps and fly wherever one wanted, who could stop them from killed whoever they wanted?
If this person had a protection talisman allowing them to form walls of wind or causing them to be immune to blades and arrows, wouldn’t they become a human weapon?
Through this way, a fifth level pract.i.tioner could even kill a tenth level pract.i.tioner.
Even though this “Spirit Tamer Tablet” was only a low level fa’qi, Fang Han knew that if he used it well, he could control spirit beasts to attack his enemies.
Shall I try it out? Shall I try putting a drop of blood on the ‘Map of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’? No, what if there is a change? Also, if this map could be blood-binded, Bai Hai Chen probably would have done it long ago, and then it wouldn’t bind to me anyway. It’s probably better to not act rashly right now, as if it does cause a change, I would die.
Fang Han was a cautious person, and knew that the map was a mysterious thing. In the case that blood-binding went wrong and caused some great change to him, it would be difficult to die even if he wanted to.
Thus, he decided to try out the ‘Spirit Tamer Tablet’ instead to try and figure out whether or not it would allow him to control spirit beasts for his own use.
If all thirty-six cranes would listen to his orders, then even tenth level pract.i.tioners couldn’t do anything to him.
Out of the cranes, Fang Han discerned the leader, and walked over to it. It was very obvious that this crane was the leader, as not only was it very pure and beautiful, it was a full head taller than the rest, with a fire-colored crest on its head. Anyone could tell immediately that this one was the leader of the group.
Seeing Fang Han walk over, the crane let out another loud honk.
[TL: Cranes honk right?]
Immediately, Fang Han heard an exquisite female voice emanate from his ‘Spirit Tamer Tablet,’ “Little one, hurry and open the net so this lady can soar in the sky and move her bones.”
“En?!” Fang Han was greatly surprised, looking around him.
The crane let out another honk, and a voice once again came from the tablet, “Hey! What are you looking for? Upon binding the tablet, the words of this lady have been translated into human language by the tablet so that you can understand.”
“What, this lady? Which crane is it that is talking?” Fang Han had finally understood the usage of the tablet. “Alright, I will let you out, but you must allow me to ride you and soar in the sky.”
“Hmm, if you wait this lady well during her three meals, treat me comfortably, then this lady will consider doing you a favor. If you treat me poorly, this lady will not listen to you. Did you think that upon receiving the tablet, you could order this lady however you wanted? The tablet is merely a fa’qi, only allowing us to communicate. We are of equal standings.”
The crane lifted its head up high, its eyes directed down, arrogantly looking at Fang Han.
So it was like this. I had originally thought that the tablet would allow me to order this group of cranes, but it turns out that it is nothing more than a tool of communication. Seems like raising spirit beasts is not going to be as easy as I thought.
Fang Han knew that his hope of being able to control thirty-six cranes to beat a tenth level expert had pretty much all but disappeared.
“Crane Fairy, this one has a present for you.” Upon understanding, Fang Han’s face changed, immediately putting on a smiling face, and promising, “I have come to take care of the Crane Fairy, so I will obviously treat you well beyond comparison. If you have anything that you are unsatisfied with, just say it, and this one will try everything to make it better.”
While talking, Fang Han opened the net.
Pu’chi Pu’chi Pu’chi, winds began to gust as the cranes began flapping their wings and rus.h.i.+ng out into the open sky, ready to soar unrestrained in the sky.
“You are quite a good person, it seems as if we can become good friends. Not only is your breathing very powerful, it seems as if you are strong as well.” The Crane Fairy flew for a while, then suddenly dropped and landed in front of Fang Han, the strong winds causing Fang Han to hold his breath, yet unable to move him. “From today on, I will instruct the others to more or less help you out.”
“Many thanks to you, Crane Fairy. What would Crane Fairy like to eat? I will go and prepare it for you,” asked Fang Han, nodding his head.
“It definitely would have to be roasted pheasants and rabbits. I will go to another mountain and catch some wild rabbits and mountain pheasants and bring them to you so you can roast them for me to eat. Add a good amount of salt, mustard, and whatever else. Wei, just thinking about eating roasted foods has gotten my saliva flowing. Unfortunately, I cannot use fire for the fear of burning my feathers, and I can only rely on you. Roasted rabbits and pheasants smell so good!”
Amid the Fairy Crane’s talking, it continuously drooled, its saliva landing on the ground, and giving off a sort of fragrance.
This is crane saliva, a very rare and expensive medicinal material!
