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

Chapter 30: The First Investment Target, Zhuque Huo'er!

Although it is unknown what level Li Yueyao reached in her previous life, she clearly knows her own physique very well, so she activated her physique immediately.

However, Xue Linfeng's system detected an error.

The root of all this is, of course, that Li Yueyao is a reborn person.

"From this perspective, Xue Linfeng was completely harmed by his system; otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately created such a mystery to communicate with us."

"It was only when it was in close contact, and with the system activated, that it was swallowed up by my dormant system."

So it seems that having a reliable and good system is the key!

[Ding, congratulations host, investment targets have been found.]

"what?"

Li Qiye was taken aback, then frowned.

He glanced outside; it was pitch black. He wondered, where would he find an investment target so late at night?

Could there be a prodigy hidden in the Prince's mansion?
But the next moment, a screen of light appeared in his mind.

Name: Zhu Que Huo Er

[Identity: Vermilion Bird bloodline, Li Qiye's spirit beast]

[Level: Tier 1]

[Talent: Southern Bright Fire, Nine Constellation Divine Spirit Body]

[Destiny: Supreme among beasts, Vermilion Bird bloodline]

[Luck value: 180]

[Note: The host's body flows with the bloodline of an ancient holy body, and contains the aura of a ten-thousand-year-old dragon, as well as the characteristic of immortality. Nurturing the Vermilion Bird egg with blood can make it absolutely loyal, increase its immortality talent, allow it to be reborn from the ashes, and accelerate the hatching of the Vermilion Bird's gall.]

"The investment target is actually Xiao Huo?"

Li Qiye's gaze was fixed on the Vermilion Bird Egg.

However, Xiao Huo's luck value is much lower than Yue Yao's.

I can understand the talent of the Southern Bright Fire, but what is the Nine Constellation Divine Spirit Body?
The realms of humans and demons are different.

The demon race's cultivation levels range from the first to the tenth level, corresponding to the ten realms of cultivation in the human race.

Moreover, each stage does not have ten levels; it is only divided into early, middle, and late stages.

“Nourishing with fresh blood is simple; the one thing I have in abundance right now is fresh blood.”

Li Qiye approached the Vermilion Bird Egg, made a cut on his hand, and golden blood dripped onto the egg.

The next moment, a surge of powerful blood energy flowed directly into the Vermilion Bird Egg.

Immediately, the Vermilion Bird Egg trembled slightly, and a crimson light shone forth, now tinged with a hint of gold.

"To be honest, it's not scientifically scient that Suzaku doesn't have the ability to be reborn from the ashes."

Seeing the Vermilion Bird Egg frantically devouring the golden blood, Li Qiye remained remarkably calm, while also falling into deep thought.

Upon reflection, it seems there's no evidence that the Vermilion Bird possesses the ability to be reborn from the ashes, and only the Phoenix is ​​said to undergo nirvana.

As drops of blood seeped into the Vermilion Bird egg, a dramatic transformation took place on the egg.

Meanwhile, the Vermilion Bird Egg was covered with countless golden runes, mysterious and profound.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Vermilion Bird Egg also stopped absorbing fresh blood.

"I feel like I have a little fire now, a strange connection."

Li Qiye muttered to himself.

However, the amount of blood and energy Li Qiye consumed was negligible compared to the total amount of blood and energy in his body.

Perhaps after a good night's sleep, I'll be fully recovered by tomorrow morning.

This strange bond, which the system calls absolute loyalty, is probably what a blood pact is.

At this moment, the light screen in Li Qiye's mind also changed.

Name: Zhu Que Huo Er

[Identity: Vermilion Bird bloodline, Li Qiye's spirit beast]

[Level: Tier 2]

[Talent: Southern Bright Fire, Nine Constellation Divine Body, Rebirth from the Ashes]

[Destiny: Supreme among Beasts, Vermilion Bird Bloodline] [Luck Value: 280]

Li Qiye glanced at it, and his gaze shifted slightly.

It's normal for the Vermilion Bird's cultivation to have improved by a whole realm. After all, absorbing its own golden blood is equivalent to consuming countless rare and precious herbs, and it also gained the talent of being reborn from the ashes.

Unexpectedly, even my luck points increased by 28.

"My luck is really bad; it doesn't even add up to 100 in total."

"And Suzaku's luck stat increased by 100 points just because it absorbed my blood, more than all of mine in total. That's so illogical!"

Li Qiye's lips twitched.

People who are involved in his romantic relationships have great luck, but his luck is so low.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on your successful investment in the Vermilion Bird! You have received the first-stage reward, the Southern Bright Fire!]

[Friendly reminder: The higher the luck of the invested entity, the richer the rewards the host will receive. The host may also receive periodic rewards.]

"what?"

"There are actually such rules?"

Li Qiye's expression softened, and he nodded slightly, saying, "I understand what true love is—selflessness and altruism."

"What does it matter if you don't have good fortune yourself, as long as the people around you are lucky?"

Immediately, Li Qiye thought of Li Yueyao and felt a pang of regret.

"What a pity!"

The Vermilion Bird's luck value is only 280, and the reward for the first stage is the Southern Bright Fire.

Li Yueyao's luck value is as high as 388. If she could invest in her, the rewards would be incredibly generous.

As a reborn person, Li Yueyao obviously possesses the protagonist's halo.

Although the Vermilion Bird is naturally powerful, it does not have the protagonist's halo and often appears in the form of a spirit pet or mount.

The next moment, Li Qiye stretched out his hand, and a deep red flame appeared in his palm. The surrounding temperature immediately soared to a terrifying level, as if he had entered magma.

This flame actually distorted the surrounding space.

At the same time, these flames actually formed the shape of a Vermilion Bird and flew in the air, looking magnificent and colorful.

"Is this the Southern Ming Fire?"

Li Qiye muttered to himself.

The Vermilion Bird has gained a new understanding of this ancient mythical beast.

Putting everything else aside, the Southern Bright Fire alone is something that even experts below the seventh realm of Enlightenment would find difficult to withstand.

Li Qiye looked at the Vermilion Bird Egg with anticipation in his eyes.

With its own blood nourishing it, the Vermilion Bird is not far from hatching.

"The reward for the first stage is the Vermilion Bird's primordial fire source—the Southern Bright Fire. So what is the reward for the second stage?"

"Could it be the ability to be reborn from the ashes?"

"Or is it that Nine Constellation Divine Body that looks quite extraordinary?"

This made Li Qiye even more excited.

Early the next morning.

Li Qiye lay in the courtyard basking in the sun, not wanting to go to Qinglian Academy today.

A book was covering his face, making him appear to be sleeping, but he was actually cultivating using the mental cultivation method rewarded by the system.

Li Yueyao, who stayed at the Seven Nights Prince's Mansion yesterday, did not go to the Qinglian Academy.

She sat in a chair with a table in front of her and a sheet of drawing paper on it. She was drawing there, and soon the outline of Li Qiye appeared on the paper.

Not bad!

Li Yueyao did not leave, treating this place as her own home, as if she wouldn't leave unless Li Qiye asked her to.

Li Qiye originally wanted to say that her living here would affect her reputation.

But thinking about it carefully, they are all reborn people, so what don't they understand?

Since she doesn't care, why should Li Qiye care?
