Chapter 223 - Castle of the Night (1/2)

Whoosh!

Instead answering Lin Xun’s question, Shue Jin suddenly reached out to grab Chirps. His fingers seemed to imprison Chirps.

What surprised Lin Xun was that Chirps’s round body turned into a tiny ray of fire and disappeared instantly. The next moment, Chirps appeared in a place more than thirty meters away.

“What a fast speed!” Lin Xun was amazed.

“Have you seen that, its second talent, metamorphosis!”

Shue Jin put down his palm and his eyes became brighter as if he had found a peerless treasure. “As far as I know, it’s extremely rare to see a spiritual beast like Chirps that possesses the means of metamorphosis.”

Transmogrification meant the body could be changed into another form, for example Chirps changed into a ray of fire just now. Few spiritual beasts could do it!

“And you should have notice that, Chirps flicked like the lightning, and its speed is incredibly fast.”

Shue Jin had great admiration for Chirps. He had seen some gifted spiritual beasts since he began his practice; he even met the “Purple-horn Rhinoceros” guarding the Imperial Royal Family! But he had never seen a beast like Chirps, which could not only own Smashing-star Golden Fire in its body like an innate melting master, but also had an incomparable talent of metamorphosis.

The unknown origin of Chirps also brought it a mysterious sense.

Lin Xun took Chirps in his hand and rubbed the soft and round body of Chirps constantly. He couldn’t help wondering whether Chirps was really an uncommon beast under its happy and carefree appearance.

After playing with Lin for a while, Chirps seemed hungry and kept sucking Lin Xun’s fingers.

Lin Xun realized a serious problem. Chirps was a strange beast who ate spiritual crystals!

At birth of Chirps, it ate one high spiritual crystal every three days. Lin Xun could not feed Chirps at all without Young Man’s help.

But now, Young Man was not here, so Lin Xun could only rely on himself to feed Chirps. The thought of preparing some high-level spiritual crystals to feed Chirps shocked Lin Xun. The overheads were very high!

The most important thing was that Lin Xun did not have any high-level spiritual crystal in his pocket at present. He tried to take out some elixirs to feed Chirps, but it shook head in disgust.

“Jin, do you have any high-level spiritual crystal?” Lin Xun had to turn to Shue Jin for help.

Shue Jin was surprised and said, “Does Chirps feed on high-level spiritual crystals?”

Lin Xun nodded heavily.

Shue Jin couldn’t help laughing, “Aha, I should have thought about this. Chirps must be different from other spiritual beats since it has such magic talents. That is to say, you need a gold mountain to feed Chirps.”

Shue Jin seemed to derive pleasure from Lin’s trouble.

Lin Xun glared at Shue Jin, and suddenly said to Chirps, “Go to ask this guy for food.”

Chirps seemed to understand Lin’s words. It turned around and looked at Shue Jin with pitiful black eyes, chirping ceaselessly.

Shue Jin sneered and took out a brilliant spiritual crystal with a bluish light. He said, “This is a top-grade Green-B Spiritual Crystal. It contains the power ten times higher than ordinary spiritual crystals. Only the practitioners of Tao Insight Realm can absorb the power of it. If Chirps can eat it, I will…”

Before Shue Jin finished his words, Chirps had rushed over and swallowed this crystal, making a cry of joy.

Immediately, the flames flowing around Chirps produced terrible heat.

Chirps seemed full. It belched, turned into a line of fire and disappeared in the palm of Lin Xun’s right hand. Apparently, Chirps was going to sleep again…

Shue Jin was stunned at a moment. He swallowed his saliva, “Chirps really has a good appetite and should be able to refine a Green-B Spiritual Crystal!”

Lin couldn’t help laughing, “Jin, in this case, you can in charge of preparing Chirps’s food from now on.”

Shue Jin’s cheeks twitched fiercely and he gritted his teeth, “Do you know the price of a Green-B Spiritual Crystal on the market?”

He stretched out a finger, “One hundred imperial gold coins! Twenty times the price of a high-level spiritual crystal! If it eats one every day, I can’t support with my whole property!”

Lin Xun was astonished. But he still maintained the smile on his face, “It’s just a small case to you. I’m sure you can do it, Jin.”

Shue Jin sneered, “Boy, are you blackmailing me?”

Lin Xun said innocently, “Jin, you have said just now that Chirps is a magical and rare beast. Won’t you watch it starve to death, right?”

“Humph”, Shue Jin said, “It’s not my spiritual beast. Why should I take the responsibility for its death?”

However, Shue rolled his eyes and suddenly showed a meaningful smile, “But if you promise me one thing, I may be able to guarantee that I won’t starve this little thing to death.”

Lin Xun said cautiously, “I will certainly help you if I can do it. But tell me the detail first!”

“Don’t be nervous,” Shue Jin said, “It may be impossible by your present means, but you must be able to make it in the future.”

Lin Xun asked again, “What on earth is it?”

Shue Jin no longer concealed his intention; he stared at Lin Xun and said frankly, “Make a suit of armor with spiritual tattoos!”
