Chapter 371 All's Well That Ends Well_2
At this moment, Lin Tianming glanced over the Purple Gold Eagles, no longer wasting time.
With a few spells cast, four Second Order Middle Stage Purple Gold Eagles vanished into thin air.
Without pausing, he continued to store the remaining Purple Gold Eagles into different Spirit Beast Bags.
The Second Order Middle Stage Purple Gold Eagles were not small, with each fitting exactly into one Spirit Beast Bag, while the Early Second Order ones required three bags.
As for the numerous First Order Purple Gold Eagles, several Spirit Beast Bags were needed to hold them all.
Only after filling up more than half of his ten storage bags did he finally collect all forty-plus Purple Gold Eagles.
After finishing this task, Lin Tianming then turned to discuss the division of spoils with Hu Yuan by his side.
After some discussion and considering Hu Yuan had previously stated he only wanted a complete corpse of a Late Second Order Purple Gold Eagle, the rest of the spoils were all for Lin Tianming.
Considering this, there was no need for Lin Tianming to say much more.
According to their agreement, after a brief chat, Lin Tianming and his companion each began to clean up the battlefield.
At this point, Lin Tianming summoned Xiao Diao and the Bloodthirsty Jiao.
With the battle over, both Spirit Beasts had put in a lot of effort, and their performance was quite satisfactory.
Lin Tianming inspected the Bloodthirsty Jiao and noted, apart from a few injuries, it had consumed a significant amount of energy. After taking some treasures and resting for half a month, he guessed it should fully recover.
Not skimping, Lin Tianming casually tossed a Second Order Late Stage Red Flame Beast inner core to the Bloodthirsty Jiao, signaling it to swallow it.
At the sight of the inner core, the Bloodthirsty Jiao became excited, promptly opening its mouth wide and swallowing it whole.
Its time with Lin Tianming wasn't very long, just over two years, and initially, it was already at the Late Second Order phase. While it occasionally received some Demon Beast inner pills, those had limited effect at the Bloodthirsty Jiao's level.
Providing it with a Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beast inner pill for consumption was a first in all these years.
The Bloodthirsty Jiao was still content; after all, its opportunities to exert itself were rare, and it hadn't been under Lin Tianming's command for long. It was already fortunate to receive such treatment.
Considering the effort it had made this time, the reward it received was indeed considerable.
With this inner core, its injuries would likely heal soon, and it might even make further progress.
Hence, the Bloodthirsty Jiao was naturally excited and quite satisfied with Lin Tianming as its master.
Seeing the Bloodthirsty Jiao swallow the inner core, Lin Tianming was satisfied and nodded in approval.
He saw the Bloodthirsty Jiao's efforts, and he initially tamed it because of the demonic beast's decent strength and not-low Bloodline Power, making it worthwhile to cultivate.
Up to now, he didn't have many Spirit Beasts tamed. Given the considerable number of Demon Beast corpses he had obtained, it wasn't a problem to allocate some extra resources for their cultivation.
Apart from the Silver-eyed Spirit Fox, the Bloodthirsty Jiao's rank was not low, and it was close to reaching the Third Order. If luck served well, it might even help it break through to the Third Order.
If successful, the Lin Family would gain a Third Order Demon Beast, which equates to having Golden Core combat strength.
By then, all the investment would pay off.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming planned to focus on cultivating the current Xiao Diao, the Bloodthirsty Jiao, and the most valued Silver-eyed Spirit Fox.
With his mind made up, Lin Tianming waited for the Bloodthirsty Jiao to consume the inner core before directly placing it back into the Spirit Beast Bag.
Then, he looked at the excited Xiao Diao, stroked its head with his hand, and smiled.
"Hehe... you scruffy bird!"
"You performed well this time, encountering your own kind was also a chance for you."
"These Second Order Purple Gold Eagle corpses, whether it's their flesh or inner cores, must be used to their full potential. Seize the moment to break through to the Late Second Order, or even aim for the Third Order!"
Hearing this, Xiao Diao seemed to understand and rubbed its beak excitedly against his clothes, as if responding to him.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming waved his hand and a Second Order Middle Stage Purple Gold Eagle corpse appeared, held in the hand formed by his Spiritual Power.
He removed parts of the corpse that could be used for Artifact Refining, then threw the rest of the body to Xiao Diao, signaling for it to devour it quickly.
Seeing the corpse of its kind, Xiao Diao certainly didn't hesitate, rapidly consuming the Purple Gold Eagle corpse that was no smaller than itself.
Having devoured this member of its species, Xiao Diao licked its beak and looked towards the distant Purple Gold Eagle corpses, seemingly still unsatisfied.
This series of actions left Lin Tianming utterly amazed.
He had not expected the Purple Gold Eagle's appetite to be so enormous; it was able to swallow a demonic beast of comparable size entirely within less than half a quarter of an hour.
But upon further reflection, it didn't seem all that strange.
After all, in a world so vast and full of wonders, the Demon Beast Race is diverse and varied with all kinds of innate racial abilities.
Moreover, demonic beasts have large appetites, and ordinary flesh is not their main source of strength. It is quite common for a demon beast to swallow food several or even a dozen times its own size in one go.
In that light, Xiao Diao swallowing a corporeal body of the same tier was completely normal.
Seeing Xiao Diao's unsatisfied look, Lin Tianming chuckled, waved his hand again, and grabbed a Second Order Late-Phase Purple Gold Eagle corpse, removed the parts that could be used in Artifact Refining, and let it swallow them together with the Demon Beast Inner Pill.
Seeing this member of its own species, which was previously one small tier higher, guarantying that the energy essence and the Bloodline Power contained within was extremely rich.
Xiao Diao had already been drooling with anticipation, devoured it as if it was a rare treasure, swallowing it even faster than before.
Another half quarter of an hour passed.
After swallowing the Second Order Late-Stage Purple Gold Eagle corpse, Xiao Diao let out a satisfied screech, and excitedly flew a few circles around Lin Tianming before finally stopping.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming stroked Xiao Diao's head, thinking to himself that the creature had just swallowed two Purple Gold Eagle corpses in a row, including a Second Order Late-Stage one, along with its inner pill.
With such a large intake at once, and from corpses of its own species no less, its innate Bloodline and own tier would surely improve considerably.
And with three more Second Order Late-Stage Purple Gold Eagle corpses available, how much progress would it make if it swallowed all of them?
Was it possible that it could help it break through to the Third Order?
Watching with anticipation, Lin Tianming looked at Xiao Diao who had shifted from excitement to sleepiness.
It was clearly starting the refinement process and about to fall into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming did not delay and quickly put it back into the Spirit Beast Bag.
Having done this, Lin Tianming then stepped forward and began collecting all the Purple Gold Eagle corpses.
Important parts such as the Purple Gold Eagle's talons, beak, feathers, and wings could be removed for Artifact Refining.
The Artifact Refining Materials coming from a Second Order Late-Stage Purple Gold Eagle were considered very valuable treasures.
With Lin Shilu's standard of Artifact Refining, adding some other treasures, crafting a few Second Order Low-Grade Artifacts would be incredibly easy.
In light of this, these materials certainly should not go to waste.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming worked quickly, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had collected all the slain Purple Gold Eagle corpses. He also separately collected the parts for Artifact Refining to take back to the Lin Family for Lin Shilu.
As for the flesh and inner pills, he decided to save them to slowly feed to Xiao Diao in the future, to help it reach a higher tier.
With the collection complete, Hu Yuan had also almost finished erasing the traces of the great battle.
After finishing, the two joined each other again, smiles brimming on their faces, seemingly very content with their spoils from this endeavor.
Indeed, this was the case.
The two had decided to descend here for a rest, not expecting the Purple Gold Eagle Clan to come to them.
It was like whatever they thought of came to them!
After a fierce battle, Lin Tianming gained the most, especially Xiao Diao, which was almost divinely fortunate, having obtained the most useful things for itself.
Hu Yuan also did well, successfully taming an Early Second Order Purple Gold Eagle as a Spirit Beast, and also obtaining a complete Second Order Late-Stage Purple Gold Eagle corpse.
It can be said that the rewards that serendipitously came their way were beyond their expectations.
Otherwise, outside of the Secret Realm, bumping into such a Purple Gold Eagle Clan would not be so easy.
So, it turned out that the gains from this unexpected battle were not few.
Both individuals were very satisfied, resulting in a situation where everyone was happy.
