Cultivation towards immortality, starting from being a fisherman

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 I Have a Destiny with This Item!

Although the Flower and Bird Market is named as such,

in fact, birds haven’t occupied the mainstream position for a variety of reasons for quite some time now.

Most of the shops in the market sell a variety of flowers, plants, and small animals.

Little cats, little dogs, hamsters, lizards, mini pigs, and so on can all be seen on this street.

Su Ping walked slowly, his gaze occasionally sweeping across those pets.

By estimation, about one tenth of these pets had spiritual awareness.

...

This ratio was already quite astonishing.

In the Immortal Cultivation World, this ratio might only be one in a thousand, but those with true talent in the Immortal Cultivation World would have become demon beasts from their ancestors’ generation, while what could be captured in the Mortal World were those left over through generations.

The difference between the two realms was not incomprehensible.

Besides, this was just an estimate, some pets with more reserved natures might have been missed, so the actual ratio could vary.

However, having spiritual awareness doesn’t necessarily mean the quality was higher than the Spiritual Rats, White and Grey, that he bought initially.

Su Ping wasn’t in a rush. He walked up and down the street twice before entering a shop.

After twenty years of Immortal Cultivation, Su Ping had little sense for prices that didn’t involve Spirit Stones.

If it could be exchanged directly or indirectly with gold, then it was a bargain!

Therefore, the shop owners who served Su Ping all quickly produced beaming smiles and warmed up to him immensely.

Such a generous customer who didn’t bargain at the Flower and Bird Market had become increasingly rare over the years – they had to be treasured!

Su Ping bought three Wen Birds.

Compared to the more popular parrots, Su Ping saw greater potential for cultivation in Wen Birds.

Then, Su Ping also bought a milk-white puppy with spiritual awareness that stood out in the market.

Carrying a bird cage and a dog cage, Su Ping headed to the last shop on his list.

“Old man, is that black cat for sale?”

Su Ping didn’t look at the flowers, plants, or the ornamental fish filling the fish tanks that surrounded the shop.

Instead, his gaze was on an old man lying on a wooden chair, eyes closed, listening to a tender song on his Bluetooth headphones.

The old man opened his eyes, looking somewhat puzzled as he thought for a moment.

Then, he turned his head to look at the corner where a litter of kittens huddled together.

These were the offspring of their old mother cat, who had disappeared somewhere, returned pregnant, and then given birth to them.

His old cat wasn’t any prestigious breed, so naturally, the litter of kittens was not valuable.

Like many people whose domestic cats have given birth to a litter, he too was pondering how to give them away for adoption.

Now hearing that there was a customer interested, he opened his mouth as if about to say ‘I’ll give them to you,’ but swallowed the words and instead said,

“I raised this cat myself, it’s been over ten years, and I’ve grown attached…”

“You…”

Su Ping, seeing the old man’s hesitance, stepped into the shop, his eyes warmly turning to the black cat.

“Old man, I genuinely like that black cat, I feel a connection,”

“You know, we Taoists value this greatly.”

“I’m asking you to let it go.”

The old man initially thought to start with a high price, then slowly bargain to sell the black cat.

Suddenly, he realized the approaching customer was a Taoist!

And he seemed to be the real deal!

With that temperament, that transcendent aura!

Definitely not a counterfeit!

The old man couldn’t help but feel uneasy at heart.

As one ages, one can’t help but tend to believe in various superstitions.

Plus, the Taoist wanted to buy a black cat,

The old man couldn’t help but recall rumors he’d heard since childhood about the evil nature of black cats.

He dared not ask for a high price and instead said,

“If it’s truly fate, these kitten’s aren’t worth much. Taoist, if you want them, just take them away.”

“Then, I thank you, old man.”

Su Ping half-knelt and extended his hand, secretly using the Object Manipulation Technique to envelop the bewildered little black cat.

Then, what left the old man completely dumbfounded occurred.

The little black cat in the cat nest, which normally would disdain even a pet and immediately flee,

Yet now, it eagerly crawled out of its cat nest and willingly lay on the palm of the Taoist.

And it let out a series of frail, wind-susceptible meows.

“This is truly strange!”

The old man grew even more convinced that Su Ping, this Taoist, was someone with real ability.

He wanted to ask Su Ping from which Taoist temple he was, hoping to form a connection.

But just as he became lost in thought for a moment,

The figure of that Taoist had already left the threshold.

Then he felt his cell phone in the pocket on his thigh vibrate slightly.

A pleasant female voice rang in his earphone:

“Payment received: 1000 yuan!”

Selling a domestic cat for a thousand yuan was definitely a high price.

However, the old man who had seen Su Ping just couldn’t feel happy about it.

He always felt that failing to establish a relationship with that Taoist was a huge loss for him!

Su Ping left the Flower and Bird Market. @@novelbin@@

His claim of having a destiny with the black cat was not a lie.

The moment he first saw that black cat, he was reminded of himself twenty years ago, before he had gone to the Immortal Cultivation World.

Back then, Su Ping also had a little black cat, which was born from a house cat given by someone else.

At that time, Su Ping adopted two cats, one white and one black.

The white one was gentle and obedient, but the black one seemed to have a natural defiance; it never grew close to people and often disappeared without a trace.

Even its meow was rarely heard.

What was even more mysterious was that as they grew a bit older, Su Ping was about to have them neutered to avoid an unexpected litter of kittens,

The black cat overhead Su Ping calling the vet.

It was as if the black cat understood or perhaps knew that something bad was going to happen.

It then escaped and never returned home for the free cat food again.

Because of this, Su Ping had a profoundly deep impression of the black cat’s intelligence.

And this black cat this time,

was indeed the most visibly spiritual animal in the Flower and Bird Market!

Such an animal,

Su Ping even wondered if this little black cat had been born in the Immortal Cultivation World, would it naturally possess exceptional talents and transform into a demon beast!

Back at East King Temple, after collecting the supplies prepared by Little Taoist Zhouxuan and leaving the gold behind, he returned to the Immortal Cultivation World.

Meow!

The little black cat had been living in fear, when suddenly, it seemed to sense something different about the outside world.

With each breath, it felt something that warmed its entire body, incredibly comfortable!

The little black cat started to ignore its previous fright and began to breathe deeply with all its might.

However, after a short period of this good time,

It was shaken out of Su Ping’s sleeve with a meow and dropped to the ground.

Once on the ground, the little black cat immediately started to shiver.

But then it saw two large rats standing on their hind legs, eyeing it with ill intent.

Even though it was slightly bigger in size, the little black cat could faintly sense that it was no match for these big rats!

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, truly born extraordinary—it has begun absorbing Qi into its body on contact with a spiritual energy environment.”

“The flora and fauna of my hometown might have deep developmental value indeed!”

Watching the little black cat’s transformation, Su Ping’s eyes lit up.

Then Su Ping took out a Beast Taming Talisman, and while these pets were still in a state of shock, he forcibly formed contracts with them.

Leveraging his experience from before,

Su Ping, with one hand holding waste pills and the other holding Life Spirit Medicine and Purification Spirit Medicine,

Enhanced the three Wen Birds, the puppy, and the little black cat he had acquired into Spiritual Beasts!

The three Wen Birds were named Wen Yi, Wen Er, and Wen San.

After getting used to their transcendent bodies, they soared into the sky at Su Ping’s command and rushed up to an altitude of five or six hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, the aerial view of the entire Frost Moon Villa appeared in Su Ping’s mind.
