Hearing Lin Su’s resolute voice, Gui Gui’s large eyes gradually brightened. It looked at Lin Su, who was proudly praising himself to Qi Yunhan, with a different kind of sparkle in its eyes.
It must strive to become stronger! It cannot let Lin Su’s trust be in vain!
“Alright, if you insist,” Qi Yunhan sighed softly. Even as an elder, he wouldn’t interfere too much in the choice of a pet beast. Lin Su insisted on choosing this trickster clown, and he did not try to persuade him further, just felt a slight pity in his heart.
While the two were talking, Zhou Qiyi also returned from the Nirvana Secret Realm through teleportation.
As all the Token owners crushed their Tokens and left the Secret Realm, the entrance to the Nirvana Secret Realm closed. The ancient mirror shimmering with mysterious light slowly dimmed. Three Tokens flew out and were swept up by the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane’s wings, flying towards the three Token owners.
“I’ll be taking my leave first.” Li Zhe, with a dark expression, spoke as he took his Token without hesitation and twisted away to walk out of the valley. Next to him, Tang Hao hung his head low, his face full of panic and helplessness, following Li Zhe step by step as he left.
“President Qi, then I will also take my disciple and leave,” said Song Yun with a slight smile, leading Zhou Qiyi, who did not linger either.
Before leaving, Zhou Qiyi waved toward Lin Su.
Once the other two parties had left, Qi Yunhan smiled, “Alright, we should also leave.”
“Yes!” Lin Su nodded, eager to go back and take stock of his gains from this trip.
And after not sleeping for two days, he also needed to seek out the Lin Family’s Physician Ye’s Spirit Bell to restore his mental state as soon as possible.
“Wait a moment,” the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane said after securely stowing away the ancient mirror. It looked at Lin Su and Qi Yunhan, then suddenly spoke up.
Its eyes showed a bit of reluctance and struggle. After a long while, it steadied itself. “Youngster, your name is Lin Su, right?”
“Yes, senior, is there something you need?” Lin Su was slightly stunned, then he responded immediately.
“Lucky for you, I’m going to give you a huge opportunity,” the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane said as it shook its head proudly, appearing very grandiose.
But in Lin Su’s eyes, the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane at this moment seemed just like a charlatan.
“The huge opportunity that senior speaks of is…” Lin Su’s expression was somewhat strange as he cleared his throat before speaking.
“Take this,” the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane waved casually, and a feather shimmering with a strong seven-colored halo appeared, slowly drifting towards Lin Su.
Just feeling the dense supernatural energy from the feather, Lin Su’s expression changed slightly as he carefully caught it.
This must be at least a Level Six resource, right? And it’s being given to him just like that?
“This is our tribe’s Seven Mysterious Feather.” After sending out the seven-colored feather, the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane yawned, and its lofty image vanished completely, “I took a liking to you, so I’m giving it to you.”

Wasn’t this gift a bit too casual?!
Lin Su carefully held the seven-colored feather, looking a bit troubled as he glanced at Qi Yunhan.
“Accept it,” Qi Yunhan said with a slight smile.
With Qi Yunhan’s consent, Lin Su finally felt relieved. He took out the most precious jade box from within his Space Ring, carefully storing the feather whose rank he was uncertain of but which looked very powerful.
“Thank you, senior,” he said earnestly.
Although he didn’t know why this somewhat quirky Seven-Colored Cloud Crane suddenly gifted him such a present, he truly appreciated it.
“Enough, you can go now. This crane is going back to sleep,” the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane languidly walked towards the cave. Hearing Lin Su say “Farewell, Senior Crane,” it simply waved its wings casually in response.
Stepping into the cave, a conspiratorial smile flashed in the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane’s eyes.
The Seven Mysterious Feather, an item that a Seven-Colored Cloud Crane could only condense after a long time, served as a unique supernatural resource. It could be used as an additional evolutionary resource to help a Three-colored Kite evolve. Combined with the corresponding evolutionary resources, it even had a certain chance to allow a Three-colored Kite to skip the evolutionary stage of the Five-colored Kite and directly evolve into a Seven-Colored Cloud Crane—a level of rarity that was unquestionable.
The reason for giving this Seven Mysterious Feather to Lin Su was straightforward.
As the Secret Realm Guardian who had been watching Lin Su’s every move, the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane could see Lin Su’s distinctly different attitude towards his relationship with his pet beast compared to other Beast Tamers of Shenwu.
Similarly, Lin Su’s action of rejecting Qi Yunhan’s offer of a Sovereign race pet beast for Gui Gui was also very clear to it.
For a moment, the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane, an Emperor tier creature of the Emperor race line, actually felt a bit of envy for that trickster clown it could slap to death with a mere flick.
A Beast Tamer who does not abandon his beast in times of peril is what all mystical creatures yearn for.
As an Emperor tier creature, it was, of course, impossible for it to make a contract with Lin Su.
But this didn’t prevent the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane from seeking some benefits for its own kind.
Qi Yunhan must have told that kid about the function of the Seven Mysterious Feathers.
With the Seven Mysterious Feathers in hand, that kid named Lin Su will likely prioritize contract bonding with a tri-colored sparrow, right?
I wonder which one of our kin will be the lucky one to form a contract with him in the future.
Thinking to itself, the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane slowly curled one foot up, balanced on a single leg inside the cave, its long neck bent, head drooping as it slowly closed its multicolored eyes.
Then it opened its eyes again.
Come to think of it, apart from aiding the evolution of the tri-colored sparrow, the Seven Mysterious Feathers also contain the power of one’s own full-force strike at the monarch level, which can be used as a one-time attack…
But…
There wouldn’t really be anyone who would use such a precious Seven Mysterious Feather as a disposable item, right?
Hmm… Probably not.
With that thought, its eyes closed again.
Sleep time, sleep time.
…
“Uncle Qi, are you saying that the Seven Mysterious Feathers are a special resource of level six?” Lin Su asked, looking curiously at Qi Yunhan with wide eyes, “Can they release the full-force strike of a monarch-level imperial species at a critical moment?”
“Yes.” Sitting on the shoulder of the Eight-Armed Rock Demon, Qi Yunhan nodded, “The Crane Senior must hold you in high esteem, therefore he gifted you such a protective resource. I heard from Vice President Mu that you encountered danger in the Frost Fall Mountain Range, sustaining a fatal injury. If he hadn’t arrived just in time, you would have been in grave danger; this resource is perfect for you.”
After explaining, Qi Yunhan pinched his chin, lost in thought.
That’s right, isn’t it?
He remembered there seemed to be other uses for the Seven-Color Cloud Crane’s Seven Mysterious Feathers?
Oh well, can’t remember. Even if there were, they probably wouldn’t be that important.
With that, Qi Yunhan shook his head and decided not to dwell on that issue.
The Seven-Colored Cloud Crane overlooked one thing: the Seven Mysterious Feathers, being a special resource only suitable for its own species, have a lot of restrictions and are therefore very niche; there isn’t much information on them, and Beast Tamers don’t pay them much attention either.
Even Qi Yunhan knew only one of its uses…
“I’m extremely thankful to Crane Senior,” Lin Su said cautiously as he stored the Seven Mysterious Feathers, then he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “But why does Crane Senior appreciate me?”
“You’d have to ask yourself that,” Qi Yunhan said with a smile, hinting, “As the controller of the secret realm, Crane Senior could see everything that happened in the Nirvana Secret Realm. So, think about it—what did you do inside that made Crane Senior hold you in such high regard?”
To be able to see everything that happened in the Nirvana Secret Realm?
Lin Su was slightly taken aback, and after pondering for a moment, his eyes held a touch more understanding.
My own strength isn’t strong, and to an imperial level magical creature, I’m like a child playing house. The other party appreciating me definitely wouldn’t be for that reason.
Then it must be the discussion I had with Zhou Qiyi that Crane Senior overheard.
For a magical creature, the idea of someone partnering with their pet companions like I do would surely be more favored compared to the traditional views of a martial Beast Tamer. Perhaps it was my offhand remarks that ingratiated me with Crane Senior, leading to such a gift.
It seems my unintentional words planted a willow that grew to provide shade.
Seeing the look of realization on Lin Su’s face, Qi Yunhan smiled slightly, “It seems you’ve figured it out.”
“Let’s not dwell on that, we’ve arrived.”
Lin Su looked down at the familiar Yongnan City below, his face showing a hint of a smile.
I’m finally back.
Though I only spent two days in the Nirvana Secret Realm, it felt so very long.
“Ghost Ghost, we’re home,” he said softly.
Cradled in his arms, Ghost Ghost curiously followed Lin Su’s gaze downwards.
“Chirp! (｡⊙‿⊙｡)” (Home!)
