Chapter 412: Chapter 404: Fierce as Fire_1

“`

The Advanced Contract Talismans of the dark runes cost an extra twenty Silver Money each, and I had thought the quirky old shopkeeper was overcharging.

Only after using them did I realize the true high quality of his talismans.

What exists is reasonable.

The dark rune shopkeeper was quirky and indifferent to customers, but the fact that he hadn’t closed shop meant he must have had something outstanding to offer.

After purchasing from him once, Qin Niu couldn’t help but look forward even more to the Earth Escape Talisman that was priced at a thousand Silver Money.

If the quality of the Advanced Contract Talismans was so impressive, then that Earth Escape Talisman surely couldn’t be far behind.

The Fiery Bird in the midst of cultivation lost its Fire Lotus and was already seething with anger.

Seeing a flash of golden light, it instinctively sensed danger.

It turned its head to look.

Upon spotting the despicable human who had stolen the Fire Lotus, it immediately let out an angry screech.

Qin Niu, however, didn’t give it a chance to attack.

He directly controlled the golden light to shoot towards it.

The speed of light goes without saying, the golden light instantly hit the Fiery Bird’s body, wrapping it tightly.

A red demon power lit up on its body as it struggled desperately to resist.

It was evident that the bird was in a very weak state. The demon power on its body surface flickered uncertainly, extremely thin.

“I know you’ve been cultivating for many years and have already opened your spirit intelligence. The Fire Lotus you lost is now mine, but if you submit to me, you can use the Fire Lotus to help you break through the current bottleneck.”

Qin Niu spoke directly to it.

Using words to dissolve its will to resist was the best strategy.

In a battle between two armies, conquering the heart is paramount.

“Screech!”

The Fiery Bird let out a screech of extreme anger, its eyes shooting flames.

Even more flames burst forth from its mouth.

It then showed a personified expression of pain and panic.

Qin Niu’s interference at a critical moment of its cultivation had a significant impact on it.

“You have only one fate if you don’t submit to me: a dead end. Without showing you some color, you’re unlikely to submit,” Qin Niu said, gesturing to the Green Ox behind him.

“Lazy Ox, deal with it.”

Upon receiving its master’s order, the Green Ox immediately shot a golden light from its horns, striking the Fiery Bird hard.

The potency of its golden light needs no explanation.

The bird, already at a critical moment in its cultivation and struggling to cope with the invasion of golden light from the Contractual Talisman, was now violently trembling as more flames surged from its mouth due to the Green Ox’s attack.

The flames weren’t emitted by the bird intentionally.

They burst forth on their own.

The flames enveloped the Fiery Bird, burning incessantly.

The Fiery Bird let out a mournful cry of pain.

Qin Niu showed no mercy, aiming to take advantage of its vulnerable state and crucial moment of cultivation to subdue it today.

If he waited for it to successfully advance, it would not only be impossible to subdue it later, but even being discovered by it could be extremely dangerous.

Even as the flames consumed it, the Fiery Bird showed no intention of submitting.

Unwilling to submit, its temper was as fiery as its nature.

“Then I shall slaughter you and take your inner core to make Elixirs! The benefits will be just as great,” Qin Niu told it.

The Fiery Bird, infuriated, trembled even more violently.

Neither side backed down.

Time was slipping away, and the volanic cavern continually spewed out lava, forcing Qin Niu to keep retreating.

He couldn’t stay in the scorching lava.

Dragging out the time was not in his favor.

Because when he subjugates pets, there’s a limitation to the distance he can be from them.

This was now because his cultivation had reached the Innate Realm, and his spiritual power was more than a hundred times stronger than before. Otherwise, whether subduing insects or beasts, he could only do so from a very close distance.

His current limit would not exceed two hundred meters.

And that was because he had reached the Dual Innate Realm level of cultivation.

Previously, before cultivating the Medicine King Sutra to the Innate Realm, the reach was at most about one hundred and twenty meters.
