Chapter 649 - 263: Innate Saint Daoist Body
Xiao Bai returned to the Xu Family, and the sky was already turning light. Upon arrival, he immediately saw Xu Ran, who was sitting in the courtyard cultivating.
Upon hearing the noise from above, Xu Ran opened his eyes. In the gray sky, a golden figure tinged with a hint of blood descended, causing a bit of surprise.
As Xiao Bai landed on the ground, Xu Ran inquired, "Xiao Bai, you didn’t return all night, did you find a fortuitous encounter?"
With that, he quickly absorbed the morning glow into his body, stood up, and came to Xiao Bai’s side. His hands brushed over the feathers, and his sharp eyes noticed that the runes beneath the feathers had changed. The runes above had become more solid, and among them, there was a faint trace of an ancient aura.
What else could explain such a significant change in one night for Xiao Bai, other than a fortuitous encounter?
Receiving praise from his master Xu Ran, Xiao Bai lifted his head, letting the hands stroke its body.
If only he could speak, he would surely tell Xu Ran everything that happened on the mountain peak. Unable to, Xiao Bai could only flap its wings, attempting to explain what happened on the mountain to his master.
Although there was a certain telepathy between the man and the falcon, Xu Ran couldn’t understand the vast and complicated information.
"Xiao Bai, what are you gesturing? I really can’t understand!"
Xu Ran was somewhat helpless.
Xiao Bai had no choice either. After futilely waving his wings, he could only gently nuzzle Xu Ran’s body with his head.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Ran once more closely inspected Xiao Bai’s body.
Among the originally pale golden feathers of Xiao Bai, besides a few entirely golden feathers, there were also a few streaks with a blood-red hue. These blood-red feathers contained a rich blood aura. Not only that, but just those few strands of feathers contained an extremely ancient aura, even masking the aura of Innate Qi.
Sensing this, Xu Ran was somewhat surprised.
"What kind of fortuitous encounter did Xiao Bai have? Even Innate Qi can’t compare with those few blood-red feathers?"
Innate Qi is an extremely pure breath that existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, one hundred percent compatible with any creature. Obtaining even a wisp greatly enhances one’s cultivation, and it’s almost impossible to cultivate!!
What kind of aura can match Innate Qi?
After pondering for a moment, Xu Ran guessed, "This aura, which matches closely with Xiao Bai’s, must be an ancient inheritance from a Fierce Bird Demon Beast, and this ancient inheritance must be extremely powerful, at least among the top tier of Fierce Bird Demon Beasts!"
Although Xiao Bai is a Peregrine Falcon, the lord of the sky’s raptors, and has Innate Qi within him, even so, compared to the ancient great demon raptors, it’s like a drop in the ocean, insignificant.
"No matter what, this fortuitous encounter is an absolute blessing for Xiao Bai, and that’s enough!"
With that, his hands on Xiao Bai radiated a faint white light, transferring strands of Innate Qi from his body into Xiao Bai’s.
"Xiao Bai, I’ve transferred ten strands of Innate Qi into your body, cultivate well!!"
Feeling the incredible comfort from within his body, Xiao Bai, though it had Innate Qi upon its birth, that was given by Xu Ran. At that time, Xiao Bai did not know how to retain Innate Qi. Wanting to cultivate independently was nearly impossible, only achievable through external means or gifts from others.
Ten strands of Innate Qi are enough for it to cultivate for a long time.
As Xiao Bai’s body absorbed the nourishment from Innate Qi, its eyes became more mystical, and the runes on the pale golden feathers became clearer.
Xu Binghu and Lian Ji, who had just awoken, heard the joyful sounds of Xiao Bai in the courtyard. They hurried out, only to discover that Xiao Bai had undergone yet another change.
"Xiao Bai, what happened last night? How has it changed again?" Xu Binghu was extremely surprised.
What kind of cultivation speed is this?
He goes out every day to slay Snake Demons, though not experiencing life and death, it’s still tempering through countless trials, and yet two months have passed without him feeling the limits of his body, unable to proceed with the fourth body refining.
Even if he could proceed with the fourth refining, compared to Xiao Bai, it would still be worlds apart.
To think, Xiao Bai is someone he watched grow up, and now in such a short time, has reached an unattainable level for himself.
Xiao Bai still couldn’t speak, only enjoying rubbing against Xu Ran’s body.
"Father, Xiao Bai can’t speak either, asking like this even if it wants to answer, it can’t say anything!" Xu Ran was somewhat speechless.
He, more than Xu Binghu, wanted to know what happened to Xiao Bai over the night; perhaps there were fortuitous encounters suitable for him too. Last time when they went to that cliff almost ten thousand meters high, they obtained the Divine Technique exclusive to Innate Qi---[Immortal Sword Skill].
Not only that, once his [Immortal Sword Skill] reaches Great Success, he can unlock the mysterious cavern.
But unfortunately...
Xiao Bai also perceived the regret in Xu Ran’s eyes, feeling somewhat sad inside as well, because even if it could speak now, it couldn’t describe that mysterious mountain peak, which had already vanished.
Then it turned its gaze behind Xu Binghu, presenting all the Demon Beasts it hunted in the Great Mountain last night, pushing them to the front.
Xu Binghu, a bit puzzled, opened the package before him, and upon seeing, was astounded to find it filled with the Demon Blood, Demon Bone they needed...
"Whoa! Xiao Bai, did you sweep through the Great Mountain? These are all high-tier Demon Beasts, extremely beneficial for body refining!" Xu Binghu spoke with marked excitement.
