Looking at the well-behaved little piglet in his arms, Li Mu simply couldn't believe what Yang Dawei had said.

"It's been behaving quite well lately?" Li Mu asked in surprise.

"It becomes obedient as soon as it sees you, Master Li Mu," Yang Dawei said with a wry smile.

Li Mu held the piglet and sat down on a large rock next to the altar, then fed the piglet with a small spoon.

The piglet lay motionless in Li Mu's arms, its four hooves in the air, only opening its mouth repeatedly, waiting for Li Mu to use a spoon to feed it.

Yang Dawei was amazed by what he saw.

Li Mu suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I...I think I forgot something!"

"Master Li Mu, what have you forgotten?" Yang Dawei asked immediately.

Li Mu frowned and thought for a long time but still couldn't remember, so he had no choice but to say, "Forget it, forget it."

Yuyufeng Office.

Huang Ling'er sat behind the table, holding a long, wide, and thick task list in her hand, looking at it for a long time, before saying without looking up, "Outer disciple Li Mu?"

No one said a word.

“Outer disciple Li Mu!” Huang Ling’er emphasized.

Only then did Lü Yutian's voice ring out: "Deacon Huang, Junior Brother Li Mu is not here."

"Today is the day for assigning outer sect missions, how dare he not come?" Huang Ling'er scolded angrily.

Lu Yutian laughed and said, "Junior Brother Li Mu knew that you, Steward Huang, would send him to feed the pigs, so he has already gone to the Spirit Railing on Jade Peak. Junior Brother Li Mu is so proactive and enthusiastic about the outer sect missions. It's clear that he really wants to contribute his strength to our Longevity Sect."

Upon hearing Lü Yutian's words, a burst of laughter immediately erupted in the Yuyu Peak Affairs Hall, while Li Fenghua cast an unpleasant glance at him.

Huang Ling'er had nothing to say.

Lu Yutian's words seemed to be mocking Li Mu, but after he said that, even if Huang Ling'er had a bad temper, she couldn't say anything more hurtful.

After a moment of silence, Huang Ling'er nodded and said, "Since he is willing, then let him go."

For the next few days, Li Mu would arrive at Linglan early every morning.

The piglet is now able to stand, walk, and jump, so it lives in a pen with the other piglets.

While the other piglets were rooting around in the pen, it stood with its two hind hooves on the ground and its two front hooves on the fence of the pen, gazing longingly into the distance.

As soon as that familiar figure appeared, the piglet jumped and hopped excitedly, squealing and grunting incessantly.

When Li Mu stood in front of the fence, the piglets kept scratching at the fence with their short legs, as if they wanted to climb out.

Li Mu smiled as he picked up the little guy and then fed him as usual.

"Master Li Mu, the piglets are now able to eat pig feed from the stone trough just like the adult pigs," Yang Dawei said with a smile from the side.

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Dawei suddenly froze, because he seemed to see the little piglet in Li Mu's arms glaring at him fiercely.

He wasn't sure, thinking he might be seeing things, so he rubbed his eyes and looked again, but found nothing unusual.

Yang Dawei thought to himself, "It seems I've overworked myself."

Li Mu nodded, got up, and put the piglet back in the pen, letting it eat pig feed in the stone trough.

But the little guy didn't even look at the stone trough, and kept staring longingly at Li Mu standing outside with his pig head raised.

"This won't work..."

Li Mu was a little troubled, but had no choice but to pick up the piglet and continue feeding it.

Yang Dawei suddenly had an idea and said, "Master Li Mu, if you're willing to raise it, you can actually take this little piglet with you. Anyway, a little piglet is nothing to the entire Linglan."

"Is it really possible?" Li Mu asked uncertainly.

After all, every piglet here is the public property of the Longevity Sect.

"Sure, just make a record." Yang Dawei nodded with a smile.

Suddenly, Yang Dawei felt that the little piglet was looking at him again, but this time its gaze was much kinder.

Li Muxing hurriedly carried the piglet and followed Yang Dawei to the Linglan Records Office. After registering, he left with the piglet in his arms.

Back in the wooden building, Li Mu made a nest for the piglets.

But when night fell, the little pig refused to sleep in its den. It sat on the ground, staring longingly at Li Mu on the bed, its tiny face full of yearning.

What else could Li Mu do but carry it to the bed?

However, the piglets were very clean and had no odor at all, so there was no worry about them getting the bedding dirty. And even if they did get dirty, it wouldn't matter; a single Cleanse spell would clean it up immediately. If one wasn't enough, just cast a few more until you had enough.

A few days later, Lü Yutian, Li Fenghua, and Wang Baoman all knew that Li Mu had raised a piglet.

Out of curiosity, they went to Li Mu's room to see what was going on.

But as soon as they came in, the piglet immediately jumped into Li Mu's arms and refused to show its head.

"This little thing is so intelligent!" Wang Baoman exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Yutian grinned lewdly, then said to Li Mu, "Junior Brother Li Mu, I heard you raised a piglet. I initially found it both funny and strange, but now I don't find it strange at all. This little piglet will most likely become a spirit beast!"

Upon hearing the words "spirit beast," Li Mu's face lit up with delight.

If the piglets could become spirit beasts, then raising piglets would be perfectly legitimate, and he would then have his own spirit beast!

Li Fenghua also said, "Our Longevity Sect has seen many instances of spirit pigs transforming into spirit beasts. I've heard that spirit pigs that can become spirit beasts behave differently from other spirit pigs right after they are born."

Li Mu nodded vigorously: "I also think this little piglet is very smart; it seems to understand what I'm saying."

"He's not a spirit beast yet, and he hasn't developed intelligence, so how could he possibly understand what you're saying?"

Lu Yutian chuckled and reached out to tease the piglet in Li Mu's arms. The piglet opened its mouth wide and bit his finger, and even started chewing!

Lu Yutian's face immediately darkened, and he cursed, "I take back what I said before. This pig is too stupid, just as stupid as Junior Brother Li Mu. How could such a stupid piglet possibly become a spirit beast?"

He had barely finished speaking when he let out a scream, because his finger had been bitten and bled.

He quickly pulled his finger out of the pig's mouth, and then saw bright red blood flowing from his finger, while the piglet was still chewing.

"Serves you right!" Wang Baoman patted his belly and laughed.

Li Fenghua glanced thoughtfully at the piglet in Li Mu's arms and said, "The process of a spirit pig transforming from an ordinary spirit animal into a first-grade spirit beast is gradual. That is to say, it will gradually develop intelligence and slowly reach a critical point. Once it crosses this critical point, it will truly gain intelligence and become a spirit beast in one fell swoop. Its current intelligence may not be comparable to that of an adult, but it is not much different from that of a child."
