Chapter 741: Chapter 533: Shopping
"Get lost, take care of your Sun-devouring Celestial Dog first, then if you still want this Phoenix later and it just happens to lay an egg, I might consider giving you one."
"Really?"
"Why, do you think I, your master, would lie to you?"
"Master, as long as you agree. Hehehe, it’s just raising a dog. When I was young, Grandmaster and Grandmother taught me at Ziwei Mountain, so just watch my skills."
As he spoke, Shi Hao lowered his head and gently stroked the Sun-devouring Divine Dog, currently nestled comfortably in his arms, its tiny puppy head just peeking out, showcasing a rare silly smile on his face.
Seeing this foolish look, Chen Zhixing couldn’t bring himself to tell him that it takes a hundred years for the Sun-devouring Divine Dog to grow from a puppy to adulthood, and as for a Phoenix laying eggs... if it’s a purebred Phoenix, it wouldn’t happen in less than ten thousand years.
The three that Chen Zhixing raised aren’t purebred, they take about a thousand years to mature and have already reached the young adult stage, one male and two females. Yet since being moved into the world within the little green bottle, they haven’t shown any interest in laying eggs, spending their days leisurely on tree branches, grooming themselves, or gazing dazedly at the Dharma Image of Emperor Ziwei of the North Dipper, which is locked by Starlight Chains next to them.
It often made Chen Zhixing suspect that he might have raised these three birds to become foolish.
No way around it.
The area within the little green bottle isn’t large, at most the size of a small county, good enough for raising some cats and dogs, but for these three Phoenixes, it’s way too cramped.
"Looks like when we return to the Celestial Profound Realm, I need to find them a home... uh, no, I should say I need to leave some space for them on the World-saving Immortal Vessel I’m building."
Thinking of this, Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but glance at his disciple standing in front of him.
In theory, if there could be a small world like the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm to transform into space within the Immortal Ship, that would undoubtedly be the best choice.
Unfortunately, on one hand, his ability isn’t enough; he can’t possibly refine a realm as large as four Jiangzhous into an Emperor’s Spiritual Artifact. On the other hand, Sos over there wouldn’t handle it well either. Although the Divine Wood Longevity Realm now acknowledges Shi Hao as its master, in the end, it’s still Sos’ possession, and with the current state of the ever-deteriorating Cosmic Realm, even without thinking much, Chen Zhixing knew Sos would never allow such a sizable land chunk as the Cyan Wood Longevity Realm to be taken away by outsiders.
It’s not something up for discussion; if it were Chen Zhixing himself, he wouldn’t allow it either.
Moreover, if a friend dared to entertain such thoughts and expressed them, that person wouldn’t count as his friend any longer.
If a friend wouldn’t even consider helping when he’s about to die, but instead wants to cut a piece of meat off him, who would dare associate with such a person?
Chen Zhixing himself certainly wouldn’t dare.
"Forget it, let’s not think about these things now. Let’s go, Little Stone, I’ll take you for a walk around this Divine Wood Spring City. Hmm, although there aren’t many people here, there are still plenty of good things."
This time, Chen Zhixing wasn’t lying.
Following Chen Zhixing as they walked down the tree trunk passageways of Divine Wood Spring City, Shi Hao truly understood the phrase ’vast land with few people.’
There are genuinely few people.
In Divine Wood Spring City, there are no so-called ordinary residents. Those who can live here are all Watchers of the Cosmic Realm, along with the pets or servants they keep. And how many Watchers are there in total?
Shi Hao didn’t know the exact number; as he and Chen Zhixing wandered along one section of the tree trunk for an entire afternoon, they only saw about a hundred strange-looking life forms.
Apart from these Watchers and their servants, there weren’t even any mosquitoes within Divine Wood Spring City.
In contrast,
After hearing that Chen Zhixing intended to gather some items for himself, these Watchers presented all sorts of incredible treasures, leaving Shi Hao drooling.
Spirit Wood aged over ten thousand years was a basic item in this Divine City. Various marvelous herbs Shi Hao had heard of or hadn’t, appeared like wild grasses by the roadside, bundled or boxed in the Watchers’ hands. Besides this, Shi Hao witnessed all sorts of rare ores belonging to the Cosmic Realm, some of which would be used to forge powerful magical artifacts in the Celestial Profound Realm, and their prices were frighteningly cheap.
What truly surprised Shi Hao afterward was encountering many remains of powerful beings in the hands of these Watchers!
"Wind-Screaming Tiger, golden-winged bat, and that’s a dragon claw... whoa, you even have a whole dragon corpse!"
This was because one Watcher noticed Shi Hao seemed interested in the dragon claw of the Frost Giant Dragon; he directly pulled out a dragon corpse from the storage spiritual artifact.
Seeing Shi Hao’s astonished expression, the person chuckled, "Just a coincidence. This Frost Dragon from the Legendary Realm lacks divinity, and the inherited Divine Blood inside isn’t much. It so happened that when the Frost Dragon Kingdom fell last time, I was there to help manage it. This stupid dragon just happened to attempt to escape and ended up in my hands, turning into what you see."
This Watcher seemed to be quite agreeable, well if you could ignore the body formed of vine tendrils and those two large curved antlers on its head, you might consider it a friendly entity.
All the way, Shi Hao felt that in this Divine Wood Spring City, there were truly good people. Well, at least after knowing he was Chen Zhixing’s disciple, no Watcher ever showed any ill will towards Shi Hao.
