On the same day, Qin Ziling ordered Liu Xiaoqiang to find some plasterers to repair the top of the backyard wall and reinforce and heighten it in some places.
With enough money and not much work, the backyard was ready the next afternoon.
During this period, Qin Ziling used the magic of dreaming on the phantom lizard dragon many times.
As the sun set, Qin Ziling moved the Phantom Lizard and its three eggs to the backyard woodshed.
The cage was opened, and the Phantom Lizard Dragon walked out of the cage and walked back and forth in the yard several times. However, whenever it came to the door leading to the yard, it would look frightened and quickly shrink back.
Apart from not daring to go out, the Phantom Lizard seemed to be very satisfied with its current residence. After walking back and forth in the yard a few times, it remembered its three precious eggs and returned to its cage.
"Beasts are just beasts. Reality and dreams can't be distinguished." Qin Ziling smiled and shook his head, turned around and left the backyard and called Liu Xiaoqiang over.
When the Phantom Lizard Dragon saw Liu Xiaoqiang coming in, at first the scales all over his body spread out, his energy and blood surged, and his eyes showed a vigilant and fierce look. However, when he saw Liu Xiaoqiang's appearance clearly, his eyes showed a hint of fear and meekness. .
In the dream, Qin Ziling often portrays Liu Xiaoqiang's fierce image.
"Sir, what kind of wild thing is this? When I first came in, its ferocious appearance was quite scary." Liu Xiaoqiang asked curiously as he approached the iron cage with the door open, wanting to observe the Phantom Lizard up close. asked.
"A first-class exotic beast." Qin Ziling said calmly.
"What? Master, please don't make such a joke with me, you will scare someone to death." After hearing this, Liu Xiaoqiang retracted his raised foot, and then seemed to realize something suddenly, looking at it with a wry smile. Xiang Qin Ziling.
A first-grade exotic beast, whose general combat power is comparable to that of a Ningjin martial artist, and is also very ferocious and bloodthirsty, how could it possibly be as docile as the big lizard-like guy in front of him?
Besides, in Liu Xiaoqiang's eyes, even though Qin Ziling was much stronger than him, he was still in the realm of iron skin.
"I'm not kidding you. This is called the Phantom Lizard, an exotic beast. It is a female breeding beast. It lays more than ten or twenty eggs every year, but it only goes into heat and breeds once a year. Now it is hatching three beasts. Egg.
This is for you. Feed it and deepen your emotional communication with it. From now on, when I am not at home, the feeding task will be left to you. Qin Ziling said, taking out a prepared muntjac deer leg and a small bag containing colorful centipedes, golden-feathered locusts and other dried insects, and handed them to Liu Xiaoqiang.
"Gulu!" Liu Xiaoqiang squirmed his dry Adam's apple and swallowed hard. Then with a pale face, he took the muntjac deer legs and small bag handed over by Qin Ziling and said, "Master, you really want me to feed you in the future." ! I heard that alien beasts generally have at least the fighting power of a Ningjin martial artist, and are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature."
"If you don't feed it, do you want me to squat at home and feed it? And this female breeding beast is worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it's still very valuable. Now it's hatching again, you have to..." Qin Ziling said.
"What's tens of thousands of taels?" Liu Xiaoqiang almost jumped up when he heard this, and then quickly put on a brave expression and patted his chest and said: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely feed it well."
Just kidding, tens of thousands of taels!
"Haha, don't worry. I've trained and tamed this Phantom Lizard. It won't hurt you, and it won't leave this backyard. So you just need to come over and feed it at regular intervals every day, and then close the door." Qin Ziling laughed loudly.
"So that's how it is. No wonder this Phantom Lizard Dragon was fierce to me at the beginning, but later became very docile." Liu Xiaoqiang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"Come and feed it and develop a relationship with it. I am going on a long trip the day after tomorrow. It will probably take ten days to come back. The family, including this strange beast, will be left to you." Qin Ziling said.
"Don't worry, sir." Liu Xiaoqiang took the muntjac deer leg and small bag and replied with a serious face, and then began to feed the Phantom Lizard Dragon.
Liu Xiaoqiang was very nervous at first, but when he saw that the legendary beast seemed really docile, he didn't chew his hand when he was eating, and he would occasionally look up at him while eating, as if to express his gratitude. Liu Xiaoqiang felt relieved.
"It seems that the strange beasts are not as ferocious as the legends say." Liu Xiaoqiang said.
"This is the only exception. If you see strange beasts in the future, you should stay away from them." Qin Ziling said calmly.
"Yes!" Liu Xiaoqiang's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and then he realized that his idea was simple.
"There is also the matter of raising exotic animals in the backyard. No information is allowed to be leaked. I will tell Yin Ranyue and my mother not to enter the backyard during this period." Qin Ziling's expression suddenly became serious.
Although it is impossible for anyone to pay attention to their dilapidated house, let alone think that there are strange animals in their backyard, if Liu Xiaoqiang is careless, there is always the risk of leaking the news.
"Don't worry, sir, I understand." Liu Xiaoqiang said with a solemn expression.
Then, Qin Ziling taught Liu Xiaoqiang the key points of feeding exotic animals that he learned from Xiao Qing.
That night, during dinner, Qin Ziling gave Cui and Yin Ranyue special and strict instructions.
In the next two days, Liu Xiaoqiang fed him, and the Phantom Lizard behaved quite friendly and docile towards Liu Xiaoqiang.
But Qin Ziling was still not at ease. He used the magic of dreaming on the phantom lizard many times to consolidate the effect. He also observed it secretly many times and found that it was really honest and full of fear of the outside world. It only wanted to stay here. Inside the wall, I felt really relieved.
On the eighth day of the lunar month, the weather was sunny.
After breakfast, Qin Ziling said goodbye to his family.
"Master, I can feel the energy of heaven and earth entering my body now!" Yin Ranyue whispered as he sent Qin Ziling out of the house.
"That's good. Next, you can guide the energy of heaven and earth to dredge the meridians in order." Qin Ziling heard the instructions, but he didn't have too many surprises.
He didn't have much idea of the progress of Qi refining, and the only person he could compare it with was himself.
It only took him two days to clear Qi and unblock the meridians, but it took Yin Ranyue almost five days to feel the energy of heaven and earth entering his body. It was not known how many days it would take to complete the unblocking of Qi and meridians, so in Qin Ziling's opinion , Yin Ranyue's talent should be relatively average, at least there is a big gap with him.
"Yes, I will!" Yin Ranyue had no idea about her cultivation progress, and her expectations for herself were not high to begin with, so seeing that Qin Ziling didn't show much surprise, she didn't think there was anything wrong. Hearing this, he nodded heavily in response.
"Since you can already feel the energy of heaven and earth entering your body, I'll check around in the past few days to see if there are any suitable girls. I'll finalize it after I come back to see it, so that you don't have to do housework every day." Qin Ziling said. .
"Yes!" Yin Ranyue did not refuse this time, but nodded obediently, with a firm look in his eyes.
"Okay, I'm leaving." Qin Ziling nodded, then waved to Yin Ranyue.
"Master." Yin Ranyue hesitated and called Qin Ziling.
"Is there anything else?" Qin Ziling turned around and asked.
"That night you climbed over the wall and went to Xujiabao, right?" Yin Ranyue asked in a low voice.
Qin Ziling's face changed slightly when he heard this.
When Qin Ziling's expression changed slightly, he suddenly felt a wisp of fragrance coming towards his face. Yin Ranyue had already fallen into his arms, hugging his waist tightly, her eyes filled with tears.
"Ranyue is just a miserable wanderer, not worthy of your service to me, Master..."
"Silly girl, I've already said that we are a family, how could I allow others to bully you?" Qin Ziling gently stroked Yin Ranyue's silky hair.
The silver hairpin he gave me shone beautifully in the morning sun.
