Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 19 Seven Star Tower, Firebird

There are a total of seven floors in this Seven Star Tower.

The first floor contains rare and precious materials, the second floor contains elixirs and medicinal herbs, the third floor contains spirit beasts, the fourth floor contains weapons, the fifth floor contains cultivation techniques, the sixth floor contains martial arts skills and secret arts, and the seventh floor is closed all year round and is only opened during auctions.

Therefore, this great opportunity is very likely to be a spirit beast with a powerful bloodline!

Li Qiye entered the Seven Star Tower, with Qin Linglong following behind.

The sales assistants inside immediately noticed them.

Although they didn't know their identities, judging from their clothes and demeanor, they could tell that the two men were either rich or noble.

Soon, a beautiful saleswoman came over.

"May I ask what you two would like to buy? I can show you around."

The woman gave a professional smile.

While seemingly asking questions of Li Qiye and Qin Linglong, her gaze was actually fixed on Li Qiye the whole time.

She could tell at a glance that Li Qiye was the real one among the two.

They will show different attitudes when facing different guests.

If the customer is a man, the sales assistant doesn't mind using gentle language.

When someone like Li Qiye brings a female companion, the women will naturally be more polite and dignified, maintaining a certain distance while still being courteous, so as not to cause dissatisfaction to their female companion.

"We're going to check out the third floor."

Li Qiye said directly.

"No problem, I'll take you upstairs."

The woman said with a smile.

Upon arriving at the third floor, one finds countless light screens, each containing a spirit beast.

"This is a young Tengshe giant python, possessing a trace of dragon blood. If it grows up, it may transform into a dragon..."

"This is a four-year-old snow eagle, a descendant of the ancient spirit beast Snow God Eagle. It is very likely to undergo a transformation after reaching adulthood..."

"This is a dragon egg. If it hatches and is raised to adulthood, it may very well awaken a trace of dragon blood..."

……

The woman followed Li Qiye, explaining each barrier as they passed.

"Young master, this is a white tiger..."

Just then, Li Qiye interrupted the woman, looking at a light barrier in front of him and asked, "What's that?"

"Young master, this is a firebird, possessing a trace of the bloodline of the ancient divine phoenix, and it only arrived today."

"But I don't mind if you buy this, because after Master Guhe's appraisal, he believes that this firebird will not live for more than seven days."

"Not living past seven days?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye frowned.

In his sight, the firebird looked listless, as if it might die at any moment.

But in Li Qiye's eyes, this firebird radiated a golden light all over its body.

In the system's detection, this firebird is identified as having a golden destiny.

"I'll buy this one."

Li Qiye said calmly.

The woman was taken aback. After a moment's hesitation, she reminded him, "Young master, although this firebird is dying, it is still quite expensive. Are you sure you still want to buy it?"

Li Qiye didn't want to waste words, so he took out a spatial ring and threw it over.

"Alright, young master, please wait a moment."

The woman stopped trying to persuade her and immediately found someone to put the firebird in a cage, which was still secured.

Soon the woman came over again.

"Young master, the Firebird is priced at 15,000 top-grade spirit stones. However, because the Firebird seems to have some issues, we can offer you a 20% discount, bringing the total to 12,000 top-grade spirit stones."

"Young master, this is your spatial ring, and this is the key to unlock the seal. Please keep them safe." "Welcome to visit again!"

As they left the Seven Star Tower, Qin Linglong couldn't help but look at Li Qiye, her face full of doubt, and asked, "Li Qiye, the Seven Star Tower's masters have unparalleled appraisal skills. Although this Firebird has a faint phoenix bloodline, it can only live for three days. Why did you buy it?"

"Phoenix bloodline?"

Li Qiye couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the listless firebird, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

Information about this spirit beast had already appeared in his mind.

Firebird!
One of the four great mythical beasts of heaven and earth, a descendant of the Vermilion Bird.

Bloodline reverts to its ancestral origins, a matter of life and death!
If fed Dragon Flame Blood Grass within seven days, it can cause its bloodline to revert to its ancestral origin and transform into a Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird is one of the four mythical creatures of heaven and earth. Many people believe that the Vermilion Bird is a descendant of the Phoenix, or was born of the Phoenix.

This is not the case.

In ancient myths and legends, the phoenix is ​​a divine beast, while the Vermilion Bird is a high-ranking deity.

"No wonder the system offers a reward option."

A smile appeared on Li Qiye's face.

This is a descendant of the Vermilion Bird!

This phenomenon has not appeared in the world for countless years, and its value is completely immeasurable.

"But where can one find Dragon Flame Blood Grass?"

Li Qiye's mind was filled with doubts.

The Firebird has only seven days to return to its ancestral home. If the Dragon Flame Blood Grass is not found within these three days, then everything will be in vain.

The system responded quickly.

[Dragon Flame Blood Grass! It typically grows near the Everlasting Volcano, its rhizome resembling a coiled dragon, and its nine leaves are crimson red, like fresh blood... Nowadays, Dragon Flame Blood Grass is no longer called Dragon Flame Blood Grass, but Fire Spirit Grass!]

After the systematic explanation, Li Qiye finally understood, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Without a systematic introduction, he probably wouldn't be able to find the Dragon Flame Blood Grass.

Li Qiye soon returned to the Qiye Royal Palace.

It was already evening, and although Qin Linglong didn't care about these formalities, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion.

But it wasn't good to stay there so late at night, so she returned to the general's mansion.

In the courtyard, after dismissing the maids, Li Qiye used a specially made key to unlock the cage.

The firebird looked like it was dying, as if it could be taken away at any moment.

Seeing Li Qiye open the cage, his dim eyes suddenly lit up.

But it no longer had the strength to escape, and could only raise its head with great difficulty, looking at Li Qiye with pleading eyes, as if asking him for help.

Even if I'm going to die, I can't die in a cage!
"You're lucky to have met me."

Li Qiye couldn't help but sigh, but instead of taking out the Firebird, he took out a blood-red herb.

This spiritual herb is none other than the Fire Spirit Grass!

Not bad!

Actually, Fire Spirit Grass is not scarce; it can be found near volcanoes, and it just so happens that Li Qiye's mansion has some.

The firebird was taken aback, looking at the fire spirit grass with a face full of doubt.

It didn't know why it was so weak, but its innate intelligence allowed it to guess that it was about to die.

Do you want to have a good meal before you die?

After hesitating for a moment, the firebird still tried pecking at it with its beak and then swallowed it.

Before long, the firebird's dim eyes lit up, and its whole body seemed to gain a new vitality.

“Fun and interesting!”

A smile appeared on Li Qiye's face when he saw this.
