Chen Xiao paused for a moment and continued, "This matter is very important. Among us, only Master Li can do it. Please."

It is unknown how many years the spiritual beasts growing in the wild garden have lived. The oldest is ten thousand years old, while the youngest is several thousand years old. It would be extremely dangerous to count all of them.

But among them, only the beastmaster Li Muye can take on this important task.

Li Muye nodded and said, "It's not difficult to just count the spirit beasts and determine their range of activities."

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and Xi Yunting said, "In that case, I will go with Master Li."

Li Muye refused directly, "No need, as a beastmaster, I naturally have ways to avoid alerting the spirit beasts. If you go with me, it will be easy to be discovered."

Li Muye did not delay and disappeared into the lush jungle after a few takeoffs and landings.

Tang Ru still didn't understand what Chen Xiao meant at this moment, "What use is it to figure out the spirit beasts and their range of activities in solving the maze?"

Chen Xiao said: "You said before that this maze is invisible and has no roads. In addition to trees and flowers, the only special thing here is the spirit beasts. I want to see if I can find anything by starting with the spirit beasts."

Tang Ru said, "Oh!" and said, "You ordinary cultivators have really strange hobbies. You actually raise a garden of spirit beasts outside your retreat."

Jing Hui laughed and said, "What's so strange about this? When you live in a big place, you always want to decorate it, build a garden, and raise a few spirit animals. It's a normal and elegant hobby. Especially for those who like to pretend to be elegant, if they don't raise some egrets and white cranes, it seems that they can't show off their fairy spirit."

Tong Nuonuo remained silent, her brows slightly furrowed, and she looked like she had a lot on her mind.

Chen Xiao asked: "Nono, what are you thinking about?"

Tong Nuonuo was startled, shook her head unnaturally, and said, "Nothing."

Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Chen Xiao did not force him. Who knew that after a while, Tong Nuonuo could not help himself and said softly: "Xiaoxiao, will Li Muye be okay? No matter how powerful he is, he is just a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, not even in the Out-of-Body stage. He has no chance of winning against a spirit beast."

Only when she really came here did Tong Nuonuo realize that what Li Muye said to the fat leader of the forum were all lies.

He had no intention of coming to Chongshan Fairy Palace, and had never thought of catching any spiritual beast.

Li Muye said that at the time just to cover up his intention to help them and send them off.

For those who have never seen a spirit beast, they only know that it is as powerful as a fierce beast, but it is also a beast that is far more powerful than ordinary beasts. Only by personally contacting it can you know that spirit beasts are not only as powerful as fierce beasts, but also have intelligence far beyond that of fierce beasts, making them more difficult to deal with.

Perhaps a master beast tamer in the Nascent Soul stage has the possibility to catch a spiritual beast, but it will never be those spiritual beasts that have been growing for thousands or tens of thousands of years in the Chongshan Immortal Palace.

With Li Muye's shrewdness, cunningness, coldness and rationality, how could he not know this? Therefore, the reason he gave at that time could only be untrue.

Tong Nuonuo's impression of Li Muye was completely overturned when she discovered the truth.

He was confused by Li Muye's actions. Li Muye was not always cold-blooded and ruthless to ordinary cultivators. He would trap or kill them at will.

But he helped him several times, and was sometimes friendly to him, sometimes unpredictable, sometimes cold, capricious, and moody.

Although they didn't talk much during this journey, Tong Nuonuo sensitively noticed that Li Muye's attitude towards him became less unpleasant and negative as they got along, and he became more and more peaceful.

And he has to remind himself from time to time not to forget the hatred towards his fellow training team members, so as not to give up the idea of ​​revenge in his increasingly softened mentality.

Although he was so conflicted and entangled in his heart, his worries did not diminish because of his self-control.

Li Muye came to Chongshan Fairy Palace because of them. He took the risk, and out of concern that he was also returning the favor, he had to convince himself to think so.

Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, his eyes searching, but Tong Nuonuo, who was immersed in worry and distracted, didn't notice it at all.

He said, "Don't worry. He can identify the species of spirit beasts from a long distance by their sounds, judge the paths of spirit beasts based on the growth of trees, and know what a spirit beast is by looking at its claw marks and fur. It will only take him a little longer to count the spirit beasts in the wild garden and mark out their activity areas. There will be no danger."

It is precisely because of this that Chen Xiao asked Li Muye to go. If his life would really be in danger, Li Muye would not agree so readily.

Only Tong Nuonuo, who was too concerned, got stuck in a dead end and couldn't get anything done for a while.

Tong Nuonuo was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I knew that guy was cunning."

He just noticed Chen Xiao's strange look, and panicked for a moment. He pretended to be calm and changed the subject, "By the way, I saw you gained a lot from the void when you were pedaling before. Now that I have time, can you let me see what you got?"

Chen Xiao saw the clue, but was afraid that he had seen it wrong.

He didn't say anything, but followed Tong Nuonuo's wishes, opened the storage box, took out his harvest and placed it on the ground.

"My great master..." Tong Nuonuo looked at the top-quality materials spread out on the ground in shock. He couldn't believe his eyes. "Xiaoxiao, did you rob someone's treasure house? How come there are so many?"

"Risks and opportunities always go hand in hand. In the void, I encountered countless uninhabited areas. They were all uncultivated, so there were naturally many good things there." Chen Xiao raised his chin proudly and said generously, "You can pick whatever you want. There are already some prepared for you."

Chen Xiao should account for at least one third of the credit for Tong Nuonuo's promotion to the master of mechanisms. Not to mention his long-term support, his subconscious decision to position Tong Nuonuo as the team's support person has subtly influenced several other friends and provided Tong Nuonuo with a lot of help.

Among the five of them, only Chen Xiao and Tong Nuonuo can make things. Once any top-quality materials are obtained, these two will be given priority.

Although Chen Xiao learned to refine instruments, what he actually made were Feng Shui instruments, which had more stringent requirements on materials. He was not like ordinary instrument refiners who overlapped with mechanical engineers in most of the mainstream materials.

The storage box contained the finest items left after several rounds of screening, while the mid- and low-end spoils were all with Huang Keran. The items on display were actually less than one-tenth of his inventory, not because he did not trust the disciples of the two sects present, but because he was afraid of scaring them.

"Can I really just pick any one I want?" After getting Chen Xiao's permission, Tong Nuonuo hesitated. These top-grade materials were not only valuable but also rare. There were several of them that he had been searching for but had no news of.

"Of course." Chen Xiao nodded without hesitation. "Didn't I promise you that I would find more and better materials to make organs for you in the future? This time I am fulfilling my promise."

Tong Nuonuo sniffed and was so moved that he almost cried. He didn't expect that Chen Xiao had always kept something that happened so long ago in mind.

Chen Xiao turned to look at Tang Ru and Jing Hui and asked, "Is there anything you want?"

Tang Ru waved his hand: "I don't need any magic weapon, so don't worry about me."

Jinghui said to him admiringly, "I've never seen anyone as generous as you."

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "My friend has become stronger, and I am the one who benefits from it."

Tong Nuonuo took six or seven items and said contentedly: "With these, Xiaoxun can expand his combat capabilities."

After getting the new materials, Tong Nuonuo's mind was full of how to upgrade Xiaoxun, and all his inner conflicts and entanglements were thrown behind his mind.

He squatted on one side with his head in his hands, writing and drawing, muttering to himself. After two days and one night, he was in a daze and could not break free of this obsessed state.

He was awakened only when Li Muye came back. He found that he was staring at him with a dull look. Li Muye was shocked: "Why are you like this?"

Tang Ru couldn't help but poke him, took out a small makeup mirror and let him see what he looked like at the moment.

Tong Nuonuo's face suddenly turned dark, and she hid aside in embarrassment to wash and tidy herself up.

While Li Muye was talking to Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting, he glanced at Tong Nuonuo unconsciously several times.

If Chen Xiao still can't see that there is something wrong between the two, then he is not worthy of being an experienced person.

He didn't show it on his face, but he was frowning in his heart.

As for Li Muye, after several contacts, he felt that this person was not very suitable for close friendship, as the two sides had completely different ideas.

Maybe as a temporary teammate, his ability is trustworthy, but if you ask Chen Xiao whether he dares to entrust his life to him, Chen Xiao dare not gamble.

Not only Tong Nuonuo did not forget, Chen Xiao also remembered the wreckage that occurred outside Hanshan City and in the mountains. Those were the people who died in a moment of Li Muye's thought.

Tong Nuonuo felt very embarrassed to see him in such a dishevelled and disheveled state. He walked over reluctantly and listened to a few words. His mind was drawn to the conversation and his expression calmed down.

Li Muye traveled around the entire forest this time. The terrain here is very flat, with many tall trees over 20 meters tall. There are hundreds of spiritual beasts and countless ordinary creatures living here.

He concluded, "There are more than 30 kinds of common, precious, and valuable spiritual beasts here. The remaining more than 80 kinds are transformed from ordinary species after accumulating spiritual energy. It can be said that in the beginning, Chongshan should have only raised these 30 kinds of spiritual beasts."

Xi Yunting pondered for a moment and asked, "Of these more than 30 species, how many are ornamental, and how many have the ability to protect the mountain?"

Li Muye gave him an admiring look and said, "As expected of you, Fellow Daoist Xi. You got to the point right away. Among these more than 30 kinds of spiritual beasts, 26 are ornamental spiritual beasts, and 7 have the ability to protect the mountain."

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he said, "I think the key to the exit of the maze lies in these seven mountain-guarding beasts."

Li Muye said: "Fellow Daoist Chen's judgment is very likely correct."

Jing Hui wanted to know one thing: "Are the spirit beasts here powerful? Are they all very strong?"

That's a spiritual beast that's tens of thousands of years old. If its strength level is similar to that of a fusion or a tribulation, they will just give up.

Going to find these seven spiritual beasts is no different from seeking death!
