I, Little Fishy, have cultivated for three hundred years and I have never harmed a single plant for no reason, not to mention birds or beasts. Now that I have cut off two feathers on top of the little black bird, I feel slightly guilty and unwillingly let go of my fingers.

It fell to the ground like a pile of charcoal, as if it received a huge blow. It stretched out its wings to pick up the two feathers. It lowered its head and nagged repeatedly, "This pet's feathers …" Ahh! "Sob, sob, sob …"

I couldn't bear it any longer so I squatted down and spoke softly, afraid to provoke it. "Is there a way to remedy this?"

The little black bird whimpered for a moment before raising its head. Its black, round eyes were covered in a layer of water, as if it had suffered some great grievance. The accusation was self-evident.

I coughed lightly. The 1000-years-old feather could indeed be considered to be rather precious. Moreover, I had accidentally cut off two of its hairs. In the end, I couldn't bear it any longer. "This …"

I was about to extend my hand to comfort the poor bird that had suddenly lost its love, but I was caught off guard by a sudden flash of inspiration. My fingers carelessly brushed past the last remaining feather, and I saw that feather tremble a few times before finally resolutely leaving the top of the little black bird's head, wobbling as it fell.

I was completely speechless. The little black bird first looked at the feather on the ground for a moment, then its two eyes rolled up and their color changed from black to white. With a "pa" sound, it fell to the ground and fainted.

It was likely that only when there was spiritual energy between heaven and earth and something tragic would one have to faint for it to show its sorrow.

At this moment, I no longer dared to stretch out my hand to touch this lump of black charcoal, fearing that I would accidentally break another precious item on its body. I could only stand up and see that the red clothed man was still standing there, staring fixedly at this place with a profound gaze, not knowing what exactly he was thinking. I thought about it and felt that if I were to leave now, there would be something wrong with it. I clasped my hands and said, "Fellow cultivator, after the great change that has happened to this bird, would you be lenient?"

The red clothed man looked at me fixedly, his arms crossed over his chest, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, his smile was extremely handsome and moving, but the words that came out of his mouth didn't sound very pleasant, "I can't see that, you little fish demon's heart is actually not bad, — aren't you afraid that I'll roast you first?"

I raised my head and cupped my hands in a friendly manner, "Fellow Taoist, you must be joking."

The red clothed man coldly snorted as the hostility in his eyes lessened. He sized me up before speaking in an exasperated tone, "What? You little fish demon, are you here to take in disciples for the opening of Karakorum?"

I nodded.

"In that case, I shall spare your life today."

The red clothed man lightly waved his sleeve and leapt onto the tree branch. He disappeared without a trace, leaving behind only a ball of azure blue flame floating in the air. After circling three times, it quickly flew towards the other side of the forest.

I heaved a sigh of relief as I saw the ball of fire disappear. Just by looking at this transformation technique, I knew that the red clothed man's cultivation was extraordinary. If he really wanted to make things difficult for me, I wouldn't be able to stop him no matter what. Thinking of this, he stretched out his foot and lightly kicked the piece of charcoal on the ground.

"Get up."

The little black bird that was initially lying on the ground shook its claws, flipped over and stood up. It walked a few steps before raising its little head. It said in a soft voice, "This pet thanks Master for saving my life."

I felt a headache coming on as I hurriedly said, "Just now was just a temporary measure, there's no need to take it seriously …"

Unexpectedly, the little black bird flapped its wings and flew straight to my shoulder. It raised its head and said to the heavens, "Master, it is your honor that this pet has taken a fancy to you. In the entire Mystic Bird clan, if one were to talk about being second in terms of handsome and handsome, then no bird would dare to claim to be first. "So, if you can get me to follow you, master, you should bathe in incense to thank the heavens …"

I raised my hand and pointed a finger at the center of its forehead. Then, with a light flick of my finger, the little black bird flew backwards into the air, before colliding with a tree trunk. As the fine feather flew through the air, it slowly slid down to the ground close to the bark. Its two small legs trembled a little, but it did not move. It was obvious that it was unconscious.

I patted my hands and continued to look for a place to rest. The Nightmare Grass seemed hopeless, and there was no place to rest once I got back to Jinsha Town. I might as well stay here for now.

After walking a short distance, I found a place to rest.

Although the place was not big, it was quiet and secluded.

I rested comfortably for the night, and the next day I was back in Jinsha.

Her long, fluffy ears moved as she comforted me, "Fellow, please don't be impatient. Although the Nightmare Grass is hard to find, with Fellow's cultivation, you should be able to find it. Otherwise, why would you participate in the Kunlun Twelve Palaces' selection?"

There was something fishy about his words. I thought for a moment before asking, "Could it be that this Nightmare Grass is related to Karakorum's disciple selection?"

"That's right." This Nightmare Grass is an item from the Twelve Palaces of Mount Kunlun to begin with. "

"An item for the entrance exam?" The corner of my mouth twitched. This change happened way too quickly. Yesterday, I was still able to stay at night. Today, I have already become the item for the entrance exam. "Why haven't I heard of this before?"

The rabbit owner blinked his red eyes at me and said with a somewhat innocent expression, "Eh? Fellow Daoist, you actually don't know? "

I was speechless and could only sigh. "I really don't know. Can you explain it in detail, shopkeeper?"

The rabbit owner blinked his red eyes again and said softly, "The Twelve Palaces of Kunlun were bound to have a mix of good and bad results when they opened the altar to accept disciples. That's why they came up with this method. "Without this Nightmare Grass, one would not be able to enter the Kunlun Mountain Sect."

I nodded in realization. "So that's how it is."

"Fellow Daoist, although the place where this Nightmare Grass grew was a little hidden, it isn't completely untraceable."

With a hint in my words, I hastily asked with a smile, "Oh? I wonder if you, Manager, can give me a few pointers? "

The two furry ears on the head of the rabbit owner moved slightly as I looked up. I turned my head to look and saw that there was a wooden board hanging on the wall opposite of me. There was a list of the prices of various kinds of food on it.

I took out my purse, used up all my gold and silver, and pushed them all to the rabbit storekeeper, revealing a smile that I thought was incomparably sincere. "I am sorry to have disturbed you for so long. I hope that you can accept this small piece of trash."
