Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 12 Purchase Price
During the day, Lan Tian cultivated with everyone, and at night he would specialize in cultivation with Qin Lei in the cultivation room. Whenever Qin Lei left, he would go to the Penglai Mountains to cultivate and replenish his strength. Over time, this became a habit for Lan Tian, ​​and he cultivated day after day, constantly improving himself and accumulating experience.

Lan Tian was cultivating his lightning techniques in the Penglai Mountains when a commotion interrupted his practice. Not far away, flocks of flying beasts scattered from their roosts, filling the night sky. A gigantic, seven-colored fire phoenix, over three zhang tall and thirty zhang long, radiating golden light, exuded a powerful fire aura that dominated the entire valley. This enormous bird was attacking a small cave in the cliff face by the stream. From within the cave, faint blue halos could be seen, revealing a rare and precious treasure.

With a "boom," the cave entrance in the cliff opened, revealing a pile of seven-colored blue medicinal herbs, sparkling brightly.

The two old men in the "Seven-Colored Seven-Colored Lotus" were stunned. This was a rare and precious medicinal herb, tens of thousands of years old, a priceless treasure that could increase cultivation, strengthen the body, and prolong life! It was especially important for fire-attribute cultivators. It was also a very important cultivation herb for Lan Tian, ​​enabling him to break through to the sixth rank as soon as possible—this was truly invaluable.

Two voices kept urging Lan Tian to seize the "Seven-Colored Seven-Cloud Lotuses": "Go, go!" This urging left him extremely confused. To go or not to go? If he went, he couldn't defeat that giant bird; if he didn't go, the voices kept buzzing in his head. Sigh!

"Go, you must subdue that seven-colored fire phoenix. It will be very important for your future cultivation."

"We will help you, everything will be alright. We will teach you how to subdue that seven-colored fire phoenix." The two old men kept telling Lan Tian to calmly subdue the seven-colored fire phoenix in his mind.

Lan Tian, ​​unable to control himself, charged forward, unleashing a torrent of lightning and thunder at the Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix below the cliff. The phoenix was making its final attack on the cave, just a hair's breadth away from obtaining the Seven-Colored Lotus. Suddenly struck by lightning, it enraged the phoenix. Ignoring the readily available "miracle herb," ​​the phoenix turned and launched a ball of fire directly at Lan Tian, ​​sizzling and burning everything in its path. Lan Tian dodged quickly, but it was too late; the heatwave had already hit. Suddenly, a flash appeared on his right-hand ring, revealing a magical artifact that enveloped him, instantly cooling him down. After the attack, Lan Tian was unharmed and even felt refreshed. This infuriated the Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix, who was now spitting blood. This was something it had never seen before; nothing had ever escaped its attack. It immediately launched an even more powerful fiery assault.

"Boom boom"

Blue Sky had already moved away and dodged the second attack when the Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix attacked.

The enraged phoenix spread its wings, forcefully flapping them across the valley, instantly creating a tornado-like storm. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and Lan Tian, ​​losing his balance, was thrown a great distance. He couldn't climb out immediately.

"To subdue this fire phoenix, it needs to come down and get close before you can use the magic weapon. Don't be afraid, bring it over, we have a way to make it submit to you." The two old men's instructions came from Lan Tian's mind. Lan Tian silently watched the seven-colored fire phoenix's every move, fearing that it would destroy him with a single fireball. He couldn't withstand its attack at close range in his current state.

"Human brat, what do you think you're doing? Crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant."

"I want that too, is it any of your business?"

"Haha, fearless kid, I like him."

"Um, I don't like you, okay?"

"You can talk to me if you can beat me first. This miracle drug isn't something you can just get as easily as you want!"

"I'm so small, and you're so big, how can I possibly beat you? You're bullying the weak and have no sense of public morality!"

"Pah, shut up and get out of here, for the sake of my admiration for you."

"Hey big guy, don't be like that! You've got a share, haven't you? I admire you a lot, too." "Heh, enough with the talk." The Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix impatiently flapped its wing and turned to pluck the Seven-Colored Lotus. At that moment, a magical artifact flew from Blue Sky's right-hand ring, instantly enveloping the Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix. Its massive body bound the whips of lightning layer upon layer, contracting in circles. Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix had no time to react, its entire body immobilized, unable to retaliate.

"You brat, you dare to scheme against me..." The Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix was furious, wishing it could pulverize the boy. "Sigh, I was careless," it muttered to itself.

"Subdue it and make it your mount; it's a rare divine beast." The voice in his mind spoke again, telling La Lantian how to subdue it.

At this moment, Lan Tian leisurely approached the Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix, looking at it with arrogance. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. If this divine beast were to submit to him, soaring through the sky would be a piece of cake, and it might even be able to help him leave this small island.

"Big guy, acknowledge me as your master and submit to me."

"Nonsense! Let me go right now, or I'll feast on you until there are no bones left. Haha!"

"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent, let me give you a taste of that." The artifact tightened its grip, causing it excruciating pain, rendering it helpless, like a turkey awaiting slaughter, howling in agony.

"Alright, alright." The Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix thought to itself, "I'll agree for now, and then I'll see how I deal with you once the restrictions are lifted." "I promise you, let me go!"

Lan Tian knew in his heart that it was just feinting, and that if he let go, it would kill him. He absolutely would not let go. At this moment, another voice came from his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Use your devouring ability to first absorb its bloodline and acquire its fire attribute. That way..."

Lan Tian followed his instructions, extending his left hand and mentally circulating dark energy throughout his body while chanting an incantation. A powerful dark force instantly enveloped the Seven-Colored Fire Phoenix, a strong suction force drew its bloodline power towards Lan Tian, ​​and a fire-attribute power instantly circulated within Lan Tian's body, sinking into his dantian and forming his third attribute, the Fire Phoenix attribute.

The fire attribute, the bloodline attribute of the fire phoenix, is of a high level. As soon as it enters the body, it stirs up other attributes and causes waves of energy to surge through the body, becoming more and more intense, more and more unstable. The body is agitated by the three attributes, circulating throughout the body, causing unbearable pain, the power to swell to the point of explosion, and a splitting headache.

"what……"

The sound echoed through the valley. Three beams of light shot straight into the sky from Lantian's body—white, black, and red. They illuminated the entire valley, and powerful energy spread out. Lantian slowly calmed down, sat cross-legged in meditation, and the three beams of light swirled around him, the surrounding spiritual energy rapidly drawing into his body.

"Wow, incredible! Three attributes, fourth rank, a genius beyond compare!" The two old men in the sea of ​​consciousness were astonished. "He will definitely surpass us."
