Chapter 708: A Greedy Eater

In the Mountain-Sea World, once demon beasts reach the Sky Reaching Realm, they can speak.

In this Dao Prison, although Jiang Yun is unsure if demon beasts can speak, they should at least be intelligent and able to communicate.

However, the firebird continued to ignore Jiang Yun, burped, and its burning flames turned into red feathers, making it look like a normal bird.

Just as the firebird spread its wings, seemingly ready to leave, Jiang Yun discreetly revealed three Beast Cores in his palm!

When Liu Tianren and other demon race members left the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, Fang Mang handed over all his collections from his years in the mountains to Jiang Yun.

Despite the eight-year No-Returning Road leading to Jiang Yun using a lot, he still had some left.

Especially the Beast Cores, which he had hardly ever used, with tens of thousands still in possession.

When Jiang Yun showed the Beast Core in his hand, the firebird’s wings suddenly stopped mid-flap in the air.

Even though its belly was swollen, a greedy look still shone in its eyes.

"This one is a real foodie!"

Jiang Yun accurately assessed the firebird as a big eater in his mind, and with a flick of his hand, a Beast Core flew towards the firebird.

Despite hesitation and struggle, the firebird eventually opened its mouth and gulped down the Beast Core.

As the Beast Core went into its belly, the firebird’s eyes lit up with excitement and disbelief.

It had never tasted such a delicious Beast Core before.

The Beast Cores it had eaten before couldn’t compare to the one in front of it!

Little did it know that these Beast Cores came from the beasts in the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains of Mountain-Sea World.

The living environment there is much better than at Dao Prison, which makes the Beast Cores gathered by beasts there even more delicious.

"We humans have a saying, ‘Take a man’s hand, eat a man’s mouth,’ Lord Fire God, now that you have eaten my Beast Core, can we talk about making a deal?"

While speaking, the number of Beast Cores in Jiang Yun’s hand kept increasing.

Three, four, five…

When the number of Beast Cores in Jiang Yun’s hand increased to nine, the Firebird finally gasped and said, "Three Beast Cores for one feather!"

Clearly, the Firebird thought Jiang Yun had the same goal as the previous cultivators, needing its feathers.

However, Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "I am not interested in your feathers. I want to follow the Lord Fire God."

The Firebird’s eyes immediately showed a wary look and asked, "What do you want to do?"

It had never heard of a request like Jiang Yun’s before.

The reason why the human cultivator respects itself is simply because it desires its own feathers.

Besides that, there are no other benefits following beside itself.

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "You just saw that I can also devour those flames, help me increase my cultivation."

"It’s a pity that I can’t know the specific time and place of the fireball rain, so I want to follow you to make it easier for me to cultivate!"

"In exchange, I will provide you with a certain amount of Beast Cores every day!"

After hearing Jiang Yun’s words, the firebird’s eyes kept rolling, apparently thinking.

Although it was not willing to associate with humans, the firebird had indeed seen Jiang Yun devour the flames just now, knowing that what Jiang Yun said was true.

Also, it was difficult to resist the temptation of those Beast Cores. Therefore, after careful consideration, it said, "I need at least six Beast Cores every day!"

"Deal!"

Jiang Yun raised his hand and generously threw the nine Beast Cores in his hand towards the Firebird Road, saying, "These are today’s Beast Cores, consider them as a gift for our meeting!"

Jiang Yun originally thought the Firebird would ask for a lot in return, but it turned out it was not greedy at all.

With six Beast Cores a day, the number of Beast Cores on Jiang Yun’s body would be enough for the Firebird to eat for forty or fifty years, so it happily agreed.

After swallowing all nine Beast Cores in one gulp, the Firebird let out a long satisfied burp and then said, "The next fireball shower will come from the seventh sun in a month. Follow me for the exact location!"

After speaking, the Firebird suddenly flew up into the air, and Jiang Yun followed suit, soaring behind the Firebird.

Jiang Yun wanted to chat more with the Firebird, but it seemed unwilling to talk, so Jiang Yun had no choice but to stay silent. After flying for three days, they landed in a desert.

"This is it!"

Leaving these words behind, the Firebird walked to the side, dug out a sand hole with its claws, crawled inside, and fell asleep.

Jiang Yun didn’t disturb it and simply found a place to sit down, closed his eyes, and began meditating.

One month quickly passed, just as the firebird predicted. In this desert, Jiang Yun encountered the second rain of fireballs within the Dao Prison.

As before, Jiang Yun initially hid beneath the yellow sand to evade the most intense rain of fireballs. Only when the fireball rain was about to end did he emerge from the ground to devour the flames.

After Jiang Yun and the firebird had consumed all the surrounding flames, the firebird guided Jiang Yun to the next location.

And so, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed!

At first, the firebird was cautious towards Jiang Yun. However, over time, the firebird realized that Jiang Yun indeed needed flames for cultivation, and the amount required was not much.

Most importantly, Jiang Yun was very reliable, never missing a day of feeding six Beast Cores.

Over time, the firebird relaxed its guard. Although still not very talkative, the relationship between them became much more harmonious.

To avoid frequently using spirit qi and accumulating toxins in his body, Jiang Yun increased the daily intake of Beast Cores to nine, in exchange for the firebird carrying him during flight.

Naturally, Jiang Yun had already learned the pattern of the fireball rain.

It’s simple, it happens once a month, but Jiang Yun can’t predict where exactly the solar flare will appear each time.

However, the firebird always knows in advance, which makes Jiang Yun wonder if the firebird is born from the Li Fire.

After experiencing the fire rain twelve times in a row, Jiang Yun’s tolerance to the Li Fire in Dao Prison increased even further, and he consumed more and more Li Fire.

However, he was still far from being as fearless of the fire rain as the firebird.

Trying to nurture a Fire Tao Spirit with the power of Li Fire was out of reach.

Fortunately, Jiang Yun was not in a hurry. Reaching the Tao Spiritual Realm required a long time for each small improvement, possibly tens or hundreds of years.

Spending time with the firebird helped Jiang Yun gain a more detailed understanding of the seven layers in Dao Prison.

Despite the harsh environment, there were many ordinary people and cultivators living inside, even small cities and various powers of different sizes, making it not much different from the outside world.

Only the so-called Reincarnation Cave. No matter how much Jiang Yun begged the firebird, even tempting with Beast Cores, the firebird refused to talk about it or take Jiang Yun there, leaving Jiang Yun feeling helpless.

One day, high above in the sky, the Firebird with an ordinary appearance spread its wings and carried Jiang Yun on its back, flying towards the place where the next rain of fireballs was about to fall.

However, just as they were about to reach their destination, the Firebird suddenly stopped and its eyes even showed a look of disgust, saying, "What bad luck, am I making this trip for nothing?"

Confused, Jiang Yun asked, "Has the location where the fireballs will fall changed?"

The Firebird shook its head and said, "No, within the area where the fireballs will fall this time, there is a Reincarnation Cave!"
