Chapter 15 015 The Spirit Beast of Wushan

After calming the person down, Shen Miaoyun suddenly remembered something: "Senior brother, a batch of spirit beasts are going to be released from Wushan. I happen to be missing a spirit pet. Why don't we go and take a look? That direction is also the location of the Hehuan Sect. After collecting the spirit pet, we can also take care of that good-for-nothing Jiang Yan."

Yuheng hesitated for a moment: "The spirit beasts released by Wushan this time, apart from the Taotie, are not of a very high level."

"I'm heading straight for that Taotie; that kind of behemoth should be my spirit pet."

A calculating glint flashed in Shen Miaoyun's eyes. She wanted to take down that Taotie first, so that the Demon Emperor and the Demon Lord would know that she was the most worthy of being their Daoist partner!

Yuheng frowned deeply: "But those who went to subdue this Taotie all returned empty-handed. Most of them were seriously injured and their cultivation was damaged!"

Throughout the cultivation world, everyone knows that the Taotie Beast is of a high level and that taking it back can help with cultivation. But if that thing were so easy to subdue, Elder Wushan wouldn't have been able to release it multiple times without success.

Yuheng dared not hope for such a mythical beast.

"Senior brother, why are you always so hesitant? If you can persuade them to help me capture the Taotie spirit beast, I will make you my first Daoist partner! From now on, I will put you first in everything, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, Yuheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "As long as it's something Junior Sister wants to do, I will definitely do my best."

Since I'm going to challenge Jiang Yan anyway, I might as well go to Wushan and give it a try.

Early the next morning.

When Jiang Yan got up, Po Yun had already been waiting in the courtyard for a long time.

Seeing her get up, Po Yun quickly walked over: "Junior Sister, I have good news for you!"

"Um"

He kept it brief and explained the matter of releasing spirit beasts from Wushan: "You are currently lacking a spirit pet. Our target does not necessarily have to be that Taotie beast. If you adopt a smart and clever beast of similar level as your spirit pet, it will be helpful for your later cultivation."

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yan felt that what he said made sense; a good spirit pet could help with cultivation.

Ordinary people wouldn't even dare to dream of a behemoth like the Taotie; the kind of mythical beasts that everyone admires in novels are reserved for the protagonists.

She was just a minor character who accidentally stumbled into the world of cultivation, so she naturally had no connection with that kind of thing.

However, bringing back someone who is roughly the same as the original is not out of the question.

It's still unknown when those few will be able to take human form, but in her current state, rapidly leveling up is definitely beneficial for her.

Once her level is high enough, she won't have to worry about them suddenly becoming temperamental and refusing to break the contract.

Moreover, the road to Wushan also leads to Yuanjian Pavilion, so it won't waste any time and we can give it a try.

Jiang Yan squinted and said, "Okay!"

Po Yun said with a look of relief, "Your senior sister Ruoning and I will also take some other junior sisters and brothers who don't have spirit pets to try their luck. After you finish eating and pack your things, we'll meet at the entrance of the main hall."

"No need. My situation is rather special. Let's split up and meet at the foot of Wushan."

Jiang Yan thought to herself, as a flower cultivator who had just broken through to the Qi Refining stage, and with several old, weak, sick and disabled people to take care of, wouldn't she be a burden to everyone else?

Moreover, those individuals have somewhat eccentric personalities, which makes them hesitant and constrained when acting in a group.

Po Yun thought what she said made sense, so he gave her a few instructions and left.

After seeing everyone off, Jiang Yan stood in the courtyard and counted the number of people; one was missing.

She looked at the white mosaic tiles not far away and asked, "Lin Yun hasn't gotten up yet?"

Shen Yuchen said calmly, "He said he wants to rest in the cave today."

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow. This stinky snake had a terrible temper; she wasn't going to put up with him.

"Then we'll go to Wushan later and leave him at home to look after the yard."

Lin Yun, inside the cave, glared angrily with his emerald green snake eyes. What did she mean by sending him away, this eyesore, so she could have some romance with that old monster, Feng Qingyu?

Dream on!

Ling Yue walked over and asked, "Sister Yan, can Xiao Bai and I accompany you to Wushan?"

Jiang Yan squatted down, squinted, and patted his fluffy head: "If you want to go, of course you can."

She glanced up at the blue mosaic tiles not far away: "Xiaobai, do you want to go?"

The little snake immediately hissed and swam to her feet, looking up at her obediently and saying, "Mmm."

Jiang Yan gently stroked the snake's head twice: "Then we'll set off after we eat."

In the courtyard, Lin Yun lay at the entrance of the cave, squinting at Jiang Yan with his bluish-green vertical pupils.

She's stealing other snakes again! What a lecherous woman!

Jiang Yan turned and went to the kitchen to cook the remaining two vegetable dishes, then brought out breakfast.

After finishing her meal, she started giving the pills to those few people.

"Starting today, each person will take four pills, once in the morning and once in the evening."

With four pills left, Jiang Yan waved to the white mosaic and said, "Give these pills to Lin Yun."

Shen Yuchen nodded: "Okay."

When he walked over with the pills, Lin Yun kept the cave door tightly shut and refused to come out.

Having no other option, he had to turn back: "He won't eat."

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and said, "Since he's not in a hurry to break the contract, then I'm not in a hurry either."

She turned around, grabbed a few pills, and said to Xiaobai, "If he won't eat them, you can. Eat them so you can transform into human form sooner and become beautiful~"

Little White's bright, gleaming snake eyes looked at her, and it opened its mouth to lean closer.

The next second, Jiang Yan felt a wisp of green light flash by, and her palm felt a soft dampness.

Lin Yun quickly swallowed the four pills, turned his head and glared at Xiao Bai, silently warning: Who gave you permission to eat my food!

noob:"……"

Jiang Yan looked at the extra patch of blue mosaic and understood.

So arrogant!

Jiang Yan stood up and said to him, "I'll leave you some pills. Just stay home and guard the house for the next few days."

Green Snake frowned and snorted unhappily.

Does she want to leave him behind and live a carefree life with the person she likes?

He wouldn't do as she wanted!

Jiang Yan quickly packed her things, picked up the basket outside the door, and prepared to go out.

She was already sweating profusely as soon as she came down the mountain, so she raised her wrist and said, "Xiaobai, come up."

Lin Yun darted out of the basket with a 'whoosh,' wrapped herself around his wrist, and then hissed warningly at the little white snake at Jiang Yan's feet.

Jiang Yan glanced at the motionless little white dog at her feet, then looked at the blue mosaic on her wrist, and understood.

I knew he would follow me out.

She reached out and pinched the little snake's tail; it felt wonderfully bouncy and soft.

Jiang Yan patted his head again, deliberately saying, "Little Bai is so good~ I love well-behaved snakes like you the most~ But don't be like that arrogant snake Lin Yun. A snake must be obedient and sensible, otherwise no one will want to keep it~"

Lin Yun: "Hiss!!!"

He's complaining about her again!

I really want to bite someone.

He opened his mouth, revealing a row of small, sharp teeth, trying to frighten her.

The next second, she gently nodded his head: "Go to sleep, or I'll throw you out right now."

Lin Yun frowned and resignedly lowered his head.

Women and petty people are difficult to deal with. Since he is so magnanimous, he naturally won't hold a grudge against a snake like her.

Lin Yun secretly peeked at Xiao Bai, who was crawling on the ground with a resentful look on its face, and felt inexplicably happy.

For high-level cultivators traveling from the Hehuan Sect to Wushan, the journey might be instantaneous. Even for those of medium level, it would take about a few hours.

But Jiang Yan dragged those elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people along for two whole days...

She tried to use her spiritual power, but she had just broken through to the Qi Refining stage. Besides having limited spiritual power, she also didn't know how to control it. Often, she would struggle for a long time without moving an inch and would be exhausted.

Jiang Yan thought that all this trouble would be pointless, so she decided to just focus on hiking.

The Demon Lord, Shen Yuchen, and Feng Qingyu, while secretly disliking her physique which was no different from that of a mortal, were secretly channeling spiritual energy into her...

Xiao Bai and Lin Yun took turns cooling her down.

As for Lingyue, she has been mostly worried about everyone's food these past two days.

When we arrived at the foot of Wushan Mountain, we were surrounded by clear springs and swirling clouds and mist. Every breath of air seemed to be full of spiritual energy, and all our fatigue disappeared instantly.

At first glance, there was a dense crowd of people.

Although it wasn't a sect competition, it still attracted many promising young disciples from various sects.

Jiang Yan couldn't find the Hehuan Sect's group for a while.

Shen Yuchen said worriedly, "We can't have come all this way empty-handed, can we?"

He was actually starting to regret it. He didn't know if his fellow disciples from the Xuanjian Sect had come. If Jiang Yan came up empty-handed, it wouldn't just be her face that was lost...

Dongfang Chen frowned and said, "Don't have too high expectations. Her goal this time is not that Taotie. It would be a blessing if she didn't hurt herself."

Ling Yue and Xiao Bai exchanged a glance: "..."

They wanted to say something different, but after thinking about it, they felt that what Dongfang Chen said... seemed to make a lot of sense!

Lin Yun turned his head to look at Feng Qingyu, wanting to hear his thoughts.

Feng Qingyu chuckled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "How about we make a bet?"
