It was not until Liu Lang began to get restless that Chen Xiao noticed the abnormality of this prospective disciple.

He glanced at Xi Yunting sheepishly, but did not withdraw his hand that was tightly clasped with Xi Yunting's. With a light cough, Liu Lang was startled and looked up.

Chen Xiao was amused by his expression and said with a smile: "I haven't introduced you formally yet. This Senior Xi is my teacher's lover." Then he turned to look at Xi Yunting and said, "From now on, let Liu Lang call you uncle-master?"

Xi Yunting had a close relationship with him, so it was a bit strange for his own students to call him "senior". People who were not related by master-disciple relationship could just call each other "master uncle" and "master uncle", which showed that they were very close.

Xi Yunting nodded, indicating his agreement. Just call him Uncle Master, it's just temporary anyway, and when the two of them hold the formal ceremony, there will be a more appropriate title.

Thinking of his master's instructions before leaving Chongxuan, Xi Yunting turned his head and glanced at Chen Xiao. Now was not a good time to bring up this matter. He had to wait until Brother Xiao's arm was healed.

Xi Yunting thought for a moment and said, "There is no time to lose. We should set out as soon as possible to find Jing Hui and remind him not to underestimate the enemy."

Chen Xiao also said: "Yes, the strength of Huaiyin Patriarch is too extraordinary. If we don't prepare in advance, we will suffer a great loss."

Liu Lang also agreed, but he was in a dilemma.

"Teacher, my previous horse is lost, and I can't think of a more suitable mount for the time being. If the three of us go together to chase Master Jinghui, I'm afraid the speed will be ..."

Chen Xiao was able to get here so quickly, so it was obvious that it was Master Xi who brought him here. But if he was included, it would be like when he and Jing Hui came, and they would have to go underground.

Liu Lang knew rationally that he had to find Jing Hui as soon as possible, but he didn't want to be separated from Chen Xiao again. The current environment was not favorable for Liu Lang. If he stayed here alone, there was no guarantee that someone would do something impulsive because of the gambling or the reward offered by the Huaiyin Patriarch.

Chen Xiao said: "You don't have to worry too much about the speed, just ride forward, that's enough. The speed of the Huaiyin Patriarch is very slow. If we can set off today, we won't be too far away from them."

Xi Yunting shook his head and said, "Riding a horse is not very safe after all. There are too many unexpected factors. I will go out and think of a solution. Brother Xiao, you wait here for me."

Chen Xiao didn't know what Xi Yunting could do, but he nodded with great trust. After Xi Yunting left the yard, Liu Lang dared to come over to care about Chen Xiao's broken arm. He was shocked to learn that his teacher was actually a partner with the head of the Chongxuan Sect in the Nascent Soul stage, and he even forgot to ask.

Chen Xiao explained the details of the injury and how to deal with it. Liu Lang looked at the time and saw that it was getting late, so he went out and ordered lunch.

Not knowing when Xi Yunting would come back, the two of them didn't wait and ate right away. While eating, Liu Lang suddenly sighed, "This time, I lost my horse, and Xiao Ba is also missing. It's a pity that the teacher didn't raise it until it was big enough."

Chen Xiao was startled and said, "I took Xiao Ba as my soul beast. Although it was a bit dangerous this time, it's fine." He put down his chopsticks and said, "I asked you to remind me. It's been more than two days. Xiao Ba has been sleeping all the time. It's a good thing that I have nothing to do now, so I'll let him go out for a while. When we travel again, it's more convenient for him to stay in my sea of ​​consciousness."

As soon as Chen Xiao raised his hand, a lamb appeared on the ground. Xiao Ba was a little confused when he first came out, and stood there stupidly for a while before coming to his senses. As soon as he saw Chen Xiao, he barked reflexively and ran over with his short legs.

Chen Xiao stroked it with a smile and said softly, "Xiao Ba was really brave this time when he encountered the Huaiyin Patriarch. To reward you, how about a piece of milk cake flavored ration this time?"

Xiao Ba didn't know if he understood what Chen Xiao said, and the short tail on his butt was wagging happily.

Liu Lang was already dumbfounded. He said in astonishment: "Teacher actually took Xiao Ba as a soul beast?!"

Chen Xiao didn't notice his stunned look, because Xiao Ba kept spinning under the table, so he had to hold Xiao Ba in his arms with one hand, leaving its head above the table.

Xiao Ba looked at the food on the table, but when he saw that there was nothing he liked, he retracted his head without interest.

Seeing that Xiao Ba was quite lively, Chen Xiao raised his head with relief and prepared something to eat for Xiao Ba.

Liu Lang said solemnly at this time: "Teacher, there is one thing you may not be clear about. When you contract a soul beast, it must be an adult. If it is a juvenile soul beast, it will never grow up."

Chen Xiao really didn't know about this. He blinked and said, "Even if I get to a safe environment in the future, cancel Xiao Ba's contract and release him directly, it won't work?"

Liu Lang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No. If young soul beasts can develop normally after being released, there would have been beastmasters who used this method to capture young beasts, raise them and sell them."

Chen Xiao frowned, feeling that the arm holding Xiao Ba was very heavy.

In the emergency at that time, he had only this method to save Xiao Ba, but he didn't expect it would have such a big impact on Xiao Ba.

Xiao Ba will always be in the infancy stage and will never be able to grow up, and will never be able to live independently.

Its body will no longer grow, it can't run fast or jump high, and it has even lost the chance to grow horns to protect itself.

Chen Xiao sighed silently. Xiao Ba looked up at him in confusion. As if he had noticed that he was in a bad mood, he lowered his head and buried it in Chen Xiao's palm.

The small goat horn with only a bulge scratched across his palm, making him feel itchy. Chen Xiao lowered his head and rubbed his cheek against Xiao Ba's hairy head, then raised his head and said, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't grow up. I will take care of Xiao Ba for the rest of his life."

Liu Lang saw that Chen Xiao treated Xiao Ba like a child, and he didn't say much about the result. It's just an ordinary little wild sheep, and it doesn't take much mental energy at all. Since the teacher likes it so much, just keep it as a pet.

At this moment, Liu Lang could not imagine at all what an amazing existence this tiny thing in front of him would become.

After drinking a pot of tea in the afternoon, Chen Xiao estimated the time and felt that Xi Yunting should be back soon, so he sent Xiao Ba back to the sea of ​​consciousness.

Here, Xiao Ba was in a deep state of dormancy, and he did not feel thirsty or hungry, and time was basically static. This allowed Chen Xiao to save a lot of time in taking care of it, and also save the little rations left for training.

After a while, Xi Yunting came back and brought back a huge flying bird.

"Chi Yunpeng!" Liu Lang's eyes suddenly lit up when he saw this huge flying bird, and he couldn't help but get closer to take a look.

Chen Xiao also looked at the big bird curiously. Its body was even bigger than the golden jade sculpture. It was brown-red all over, with a shiny black beak and a pair of big round eyes of beautiful gold.

"Lie——" Seeing two strangers approaching, Chi Yunpeng nervously spread his huge wings and flapped them.

Its wingspan was as wide as the entire yard and was very thick and powerful. Every time it flapped, it created a gust of air, sweeping up the dust on the ground.

"What a beautiful big bird! Where did it come from?" Chen Xiao asked.

"I borrowed it from the Nascent Soul cultivator who lives nearby." Xi Yunting said calmly, "This is a soul beast that can understand simple commands. After reaching the destination, it will return on its own."

Chen Xiao said in surprise: "This is very convenient. It will be much easier if Chi Yunpeng helps me get around."

Chen Xiao smiled and walked closer to Xi Yunting, who subconsciously stretched out his hand and gently placed it on his waist. Chen Xiao said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother. It must have been difficult to find this bird for transportation, right?"

Xi Yunting pursed his lips slightly and said nothing.

He went around to find a few people and finally asked about the nearby cultivators who raised large birds and soul beasts. Spiritual practitioners generally did not buy into the accounts of the cultivators in the Heaven Realm World. Xi Yunting had a hard time negotiating with them, and finally he revealed his identity as the head of the Chongxuan Institute before he successfully lent the Red Cloud Peng.

"When are we leaving?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Anytime." Xi Yunting said.

Chen Xiao turned to look at Liu Lang, and Liu Lang immediately said, "I don't have anything to pack here, so we can set off now."

Chen Xiao and Liu Lang sat on the Chi Yunpeng together. Xi Yunting slowed down the flying speed and accompanied them at a distance not too far from them.

When soul beasts are outside, they also need to drink water, eat and rest. Chen Xiao and his companions traveled during the day and rested at night, heading all the way to Luo Chen's direction.

It’s strange to say, but we didn’t encounter any evil cultivators along the way. Maybe they were all chasing Jinghui who still had the blood pollution technique.

The Shenzhou Atlas was very large, and it took Chen Xiao and his companions more than a month to fly in the sky before they arrived near Luo Chen.

This is because Taizhen and Luochen belong to the same extreme domain, and they will appear in the same range after entering the Shenzhou Atlas. If it were other great realms, the road would be even longer.

As soon as he approached Luo Chen's gathering point, Chen Xiao could feel an unusual atmosphere, a vague evil spirit here. It was not the kind of evil spirit caused by the Jedi, nor the evil spirit caused by evil magic, but a sense of killing.

"Who is it?" A man suddenly jumped up from below, floated in the air and asked.

As soon as Chen Xiao saw the cassock that person was wearing, he knew that he was a Buddhist cultivator, but he didn't know if he was from the Jin Zen sect.

Chen Xiao said loudly: "I am Chen Xiao and my two fellow Taoist practitioners. May I ask if this mage, Master Jinghui, is here?"

Hearing this, the solemn expression on his face relaxed and he said with a smile, "So it's Brother Chen who is here. Senior Brother Jinghui has mentioned you several times. If he knew you were here, he would definitely be very happy."

Then he turned to Xi Yunting and said, "I think this must be Master Xi Yunting of the Chongxuan Sect, right? Please follow me, I will take you to see Jing Hui."

The three followed the Buddhist monk for a while before they came to a group of buildings next to a bamboo forest where they could see Luo Chen's gathering point.

The building in front of us is newly built. The materials are ready-made. The walls and foundation are made of bamboo, and the roof of the house is covered with thatch.

To be honest, Chen Xiao has been in this world for so long, and the only house he has seen that can compare with the simple house in front of him is the mud farmhouse of the Chen family in Fan Village.

However, although the materials are simple, thanks to the fact that the builders are all practitioners, this bamboo house is built in a very neat manner, with a simple and natural charm.
