“No?”
Ju Leng was startled.
“Freedom isn’t something I promise; it’s inherently yours.”
Ju Leng pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
“As long as you wish to fight for freedom, what I can promise is to coexist with you as equals. If one day I enslave or restrict your freedom, you can likewise resist and betray.”
Ju Leng nodded emphatically.
“But, this Formation in the cave—”
“A Formation laid by a Heavenly Human Cultivator can naturally be broken by a Heavenly Human Cultivator.”
Liu Boli’s ability to appear and display his strength naturally stemmed from his confidence.
“Good. From today onwards, the over fifty thousand Cold Flame Snakes in this cave will be Fellow Daoist Jin’s friends, friends who share life and death.”
Ju Leng’s Spiritual Awareness transmitted to every corner of the cave, conveying its command to every Cold Flame Snake.
Qian Duoduo took out a Jade Slip and handed it to Ju Leng.
“The cave has Ice Gale blocking Spiritual Awareness. If anything happens, Senior can use this to contact me in the future.”
After some thought, Qian Duoduo took out all several thousand spirit chicken eggs from the Golden Toad.
“If Senior runs out, just tell me, and I’ll send more down.”
The moment several thousand spirit chicken eggs were piled up like a small mountain, Ju Leng seemed to turn to stone.
It blinked its eyes in disbelief, then extended its snake tongue and gently licked a spirit chicken egg.
“Fellow Daoist, stop calling me Senior. I’m a few years older, so just call me Brother Ju. And I, how about I call you Jin Di?”
Ju Leng said with a smile through its Spiritual Awareness.
“Brother Ju!” Qian Duoduo cupped his fists towards it.
“Jin Di!” Ju Leng nodded to Qian Duoduo.
For a moment, the spring breeze of Mengyuan Mountain seemed to blow here as well.
Ju Leng used its Spiritual Awareness to summon the Snake Messenger from earlier.
“Take my Jin Di to get some of the snake skins we’ve shed, take ten thousand—no, let Jin Di take as much as he wants.”
The Snake Messenger led the way for Qian Duoduo into a cave.
Under the illumination of the fluorescent stones, Qian Duoduo saw millions of shed snake skins, and over a million complete snake bones!
Cold Flame Snakes shed their skin once every three years.
It was reasonable for tens of thousands of Cold Flame Snakes living in the cave for tens of thousands of years to shed these snake skins.
“Please—” the Snake Messenger said through its Spiritual Awareness.
Qian Duoduo unceremoniously took nearly one hundred thousand snake skins and snake bones.
The snake skins of the Cold Flame Snake were not only thick but also sturdy.
With these one hundred thousand snake skins, he would no longer worry about deformation when refining any number of golden ox spears.
The snake bones would be used to refine the Cold Flame Pure Snow Spear. Another huge profit!
Returning to Ju Leng, Ju Leng said with a smile:
“Jin Di, why are you so polite? This cave is your Brother Ju’s, and it’s also yours.”
Soon after, the Snake Messenger brought Qian Duoduo another two hundred thousand snake skins and snake bones.
After storing these three hundred thousand snake skins, Qian Duoduo thought he could now equip at least one hundred thousand Golden Oxes—
The scale of raising Golden Oxes seemed to need to expand again.
“Brother Ju,” Qian Duoduo took out all the Spirit Chickens from the Golden Toad.
“Please keep these delicacies for now. When I have time, I’ll send more. When the time is ripe, I will naturally lead everyone out of this cage. Please be patient for a few more days, Brother Ju.”
“Jin Di is so generous, it already makes me extremely curious about Jin Di’s manor.”
Ju Leng was already numb to Qian Duoduo constantly taking out delicacies.
“Oh, by the way, the resources in this cave are limited, so I haven’t dared to let everyone breed freely. If Jin Di is willing, I’ll send a thousand eggs to be raised in Jin Di’s manor.”
“Willing.”
Cold Flame Snakes were powerful Spirit Beasts, so Qian Duoduo naturally wanted his manor to have another source of strength.
