Shu Jianyue didn't understand anything they said after that, so she took Yan Xi and left first.

Back in the plaza, they saw that they had already begun recruiting disciples from spirit beasts.

If different families or sects take a liking to a spirit beast they desire here, and the other party is also willing, they can form a contract.

Of course, you can't force them if they're unwilling, since it's on the Spirit Beast Sect's territory. To force them would be tantamount to courting death.

Wei Xian took a liking to a spirit fox, not because of the high quality of its spiritual veins, but simply because she was cute and wanted to take her in.

She had her eye on Huo Yanyan, so she naturally wouldn't ignore it. She got up and went to find the spirit fox to ask if it was willing.

As you can imagine, the other party refused.

This spirit fox is too aware of her situation. If she contracts with those people, with her spiritual veins, she can only be kept as a pet at best, without any good resources. But it will be different if she enters the Spirit Beast Sect. As long as she works hard enough, she will have access to resources.

Huo Yanyan returned looking disappointed, but Wei Xian, seeing this, instead comforted him.

Shu Jianyue sat down, and Na Weixian immediately looked over and asked, "Are you very familiar with Ancestor Li Yuan?"

Shu Jianyue didn't expect her to be so direct. After thinking for a moment, she said, "We're not that close. We've only met a few times."

We've met several times already, and that's all!

Na Weixian was once again filled with envy. You know, even the slightest guidance from Ancestor Liyuan would be incredibly beneficial.

Wei Xian didn't make things difficult for herself. Knowing it was her first time participating, she told her about the final process of recruiting spirit beast disciples, hoping she might take a liking to one of the spirit beasts.

After Na Weixian finished speaking, Shu Jianyue's expression did not change at all.

Nai Xian was puzzled. "Didn't you find any you liked? It's much better to choose a spirit beast here than to go out into the mountains to find one yourself."

"It's so convenient here. You can look at them all yourself, and if you see one you like, ask the other party if they're willing. If they are, you can sign a contract."

"This is why so many families and sects are willing to travel thousands of miles to participate in this pilgrimage conference."

This system was also established by the Spirit Beast Sect to prevent members of other sects from entering the mountains and hunting spirit beasts for themselves. Here, they can protect these spirit beasts, but in the mountains, if a spirit beast doesn't agree to something, it might kill the other party out of anger.

Shu Jianyue nodded. It would be convenient, but she didn't need it.

She already has so many mythical beasts around her, why would she need spirit beasts?

Even Yan Xi already has three divine beasts, so she doesn't need to choose anymore. If she were to choose, she would have to choose from among the divine beasts.

Seeing that she really didn't intend to choose a spirit beast, Wei Xian stopped talking. What was the point of saying more if she didn't need it?

Shu Jianyue thought for a moment and explained, "Thank you, Madam. Our contract is already complete, so there's no need to choose any more. Thank you for your kindness." Even if someone kindly explains things to you and you don't want to choose anymore, you still need to express your gratitude.

Wei Xian waved his hand dismissively, but his mood improved somewhat, and he continued to seriously select spirit beasts.

Shu Jianyue looked at the spirit beasts lining up to join the Spirit Beast Sect. They were all different kinds of creatures. It really felt like visiting a zoo, with the animals lining up for you to see.

Bah! It's a spirit beast, not an ordinary animal.

Vivian couldn't find a suitable one after picking and choosing, and she was clearly getting anxious.

Shu Jianyue glanced at the group of spirit beasts and asked, "What kind are you looking for?"

Nai Xian was taken aback by the question, and after a while she said, "I want to find someone obedient and well-behaved who can also play with me."

Shu Jianyue's lips twitched. Are there really such spirit beasts that are obedient, well-behaved, and playful?

Yan Xi leaned close to her ear and whispered something. Shu Jianyue's eyes lit up. Yes, how come she hadn't thought of that?

Having accepted Yan Xi's suggestion, Shu Jianyue began searching among the spirit beasts, preparing to find one for Na Weixian.

Soon, she found her target among the spirit beasts: a snow-white spirit fox that looked like a puppy, very similar to Xue'er, the one she had given to Qiu Yuanxiao.

Shu Jianyue turned to Na Weixian's side and pointed at the spirit fox, saying, "Doesn't that spirit fox perfectly fit your requirements?"

Nawei Xian looked over and shook her head, saying, "She rejected me."

"Huh? He just arrived." Shu Jianyue saw him coming.

"Really?" Nawei Xian immediately patted Huo Yanyan, telling him to go and ask.

Seeing this, Shu Jianyue said, "Since you want to recruit spirit beasts, you should go in person. Sincerity can sometimes move a spirit beast that doesn't want to form a contract."

Nawei Xian thought about it and agreed, so she and Huo Yanyan walked towards the spirit fox together.

Shu Jianyue glanced at it and then looked away, her eyes narrowing as she looked elsewhere. "Xixi, look, isn't that your brother?"

Yan Xi followed her gaze and nodded, saying, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Shu Jianyue's eyelids twitched as she looked at the little girl Yu Chuan was holding. "Why are you asking what's wrong?"

Later on, will they be holding their grandchildren?

Shu Jianyue got up and instantly teleported towards Yu Chuan.

Yu Chuan was startled when he saw Shu Jianyue suddenly appear. "Mother, you, what are you doing here?"

Shu Jianyue glanced at the unconscious little girl in his arms, raised an eyebrow and said, "What are you feeling guilty about? What, did you abduct a woman?"

Yu Chuan's forehead creased with annoyance. He immediately tossed the little girl in his arms to Yan Xi, "Mother, she just happened to faint in front of me, what are you saying?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Shu Wangtian and Chaotian."

Shu Wangtian nodded with a smile, "Yuchuan is right. This little girl suddenly fainted. If we hadn't taken care of her, she probably would have been trampled to death. That's why we took her away."

Si Huaijin nodded, "That's right, Senior Brother was just trying to save people."

Chao Tian smiled and nodded without saying a word, but his meaning was clear.

Shu Jianyue grabbed the little girl's hand and checked it, only to find that she had fainted from hunger.

In this land of China, there are actually people who faint from hunger!

This might be considered normal in the Ten Domains, since there are many mortals there, but this is the Divine Continent.

Shu Jianyue took out a cup of spiritual elixir and fed it to the girl. Soon the little girl slowly woke up.

When Duan Yuanyuan opened her eyes, she saw an unparalleled beauty and murmured, "I can actually see a fairy. She must be dead." As she spoke, she began to cry.

"Damn it, I only said a few nasty things, how did I get blown up? That's so unlucky."

Hearing her mutter to herself, Shu Jianyue raised her eyebrows. Oh, she'd run into someone from her hometown.

Yan Xi looked at Shu Jianyue with a puzzled expression and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with her?" Don't be silly.

When Duan Yuanyuan heard Yan Xi speak, her gaze turned to her again. When she saw Yan Xi's eyes, she almost jumped up like a carp. "You, who are you?"

Why do those eyes look so much like the fairy she dreamed of that night?
