Chapter 601 Beast Master

The ball of white light in the spring water suddenly became brighter, then slowly converged. The ball of light became smaller and smaller, but also brighter and brighter.

There was a strong spiritual energy gathered in the range of the white light, and the little bit of light that overflowed from it had already caused the surrounding grass and trees to grow quietly, and some spiritual plants even produced flower buds out of nothing.

"Senior, you should know how to take this thing out, right?" Ji Yu pursed his lips slightly and turned to look at Xiao Changheng.

Her grandfather had only told her to take good care of the seeds and wait for their owner to come and take them, but he didn't give any details, so she assumed that she should just wait for the owner to come and take them.

When he turned around, he saw Xiao Changheng's expression was slightly solemn. He raised his hand to support his forehead, and his body suddenly swayed.

"The time is up, please... keep it a secret for me..." The man left a sentence that no one knew whether he had finished or not, and his eyes lost focus.

Ji Yu's beautiful double pupils showed a bit of surprise and confusion, and he didn't know what was going on in the current situation.

What does it mean when the time is up? What should be kept secret?

She saw that Xiao Changheng's body was shaking a little, and was wondering if he was going to fall and whether she needed help. Then she saw that his eyes were out of focus for a moment, then he stood firm again and his eyes regained focus.

Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to ask for clarification, but she saw Xiao Changheng pulling away with a vigilant look in his eyes. He quickly looked around and finally returned his gaze to her. He frowned and spoke in a deep voice:

"Who are you? Are you the one who brought me here?"

Cum language: "..."

Okay, now I understand what he meant when he said "time's up".

Ji Yu met the other party's vigilant gaze, thought for a moment, turned his head and looked at the spring water. The ball of white light had shrunk into a tiny dot, and the light was gradually disappearing.

She pointed there and said:

"I didn't bring you here. You were summoned by it."

Xiao Changheng turned his head to look at the light that was about to disappear in the spring. His expression changed slightly and his face softened a little.

Although it was only a faint feeling, he did sense that whatever was in the spring water had a mysterious connection with himself.

And for some reason, even though it was the first time he saw this strange-looking woman, he was sure that she would not harm him.

The light in the spring completely disappeared, and through the clear water surface, one could see something lying quietly at the bottom of the spring.

Ji Yu raised his finger and pointed at the spring water. He tentatively hooked it with his fingertips, and something in the water slowly rose up, then left the water surface and floated towards Xiao Changheng.

Xiao Changheng subconsciously reached out and took it in his palm, and finally saw the true appearance of this thing.

It is like a bead the size of a fingernail, with a jade-like texture, cold white color, and a cool and delicate touch.

Xiao Changheng was slightly stunned, he lifted his sleeves slightly and took a look at Hao Qing, he always felt that the texture of this thing was somewhat similar to Hao Qing, but not exactly the same.

"…What is this?" he asked.

"seed."

Xiao Changheng raised his eyebrows, obviously not expecting such an answer, and lowered his eyes to look at his palm for a moment.

The thing in his hand was quite different from the seeds he knew.

"What kind of seeds are they?"

"...I don't know." Ji Yu said truthfully, "I was just entrusted by my grandfather to look after it so that I can hand it over to the right person at the right time."

"..." Xiao Changheng looked at the crystal clear white beads in his hand and fell into silence.

He had to admit that this thing did have a connection with him, but how did the woman in front of him determine that she was its owner?

Thinking this, he asked.

Ji Yu's expression was somewhat complicated:

"Because before you came here, the spring was a hundred feet in radius and no one else could get close to it."

Xiao Changheng was slightly stunned.

"It's not a barrier set by anyone, but a restriction set by the seed itself." Ji Yu explained, "And when you appeared in this Valley of Exotic Beasts, it immediately lifted the restriction and summoned you over. This is enough to prove that the master it has been waiting for is you."

As Ji Yu carefully explained, she thought to herself that it was not easy for her because she didn't want to tell a lie, but she couldn't reveal the secret that person asked her to keep.

What she said was true. The seed did summon its owner, but this person had no idea how he came to be.

As for the ban, it was true. Before this, she had wanted to see what the seed that the Chongming clan had guarded for thousands of years looked like, but let alone touching it, even getting close to it was difficult.

So when she took it out so easily just now, although she didn't show it on her face, she was very surprised in her heart.

But she also immediately realized that the reason the seed allowed her to take it out with magic power was because it sensed her desire to return the item to its original owner, otherwise it would still not have been successful.

Ji Yu looked at the man in front of him, his heart full of doubts.

More than two thousand years ago, the reason why my grandfather exhausted his essence to help Liu Jun build the barrier was actually to protect this seed. Protecting the spiritual energy of the Exotic Beast Valley from depletion was secondary.

Who is the owner of this thing that would make my grandfather go to such lengths?

And his current condition is obviously that part of his consciousness with previous memories has fallen into a deep sleep. Why is this?

Ji Yu was not a curious person, but this matter was really unusual, so she couldn't help but ask.

But she remembered that the man's last words were to keep it a secret. She was not sure about the scope of this confidentiality, and it might include him who had no memory of that period.

My grandfather once set a rule that if the owner of the seeds appears one day, the Chongming Bird tribe should do their best to cooperate with any requests as long as they do not conflict with the interests of the owner of the beast.

The legendary beast master has never appeared yet. Since the man asked her to keep it a secret before he fell asleep, she just had to cooperate.

Ji Yu had a thousand thoughts in his mind, while Xiao Changheng held the bead in his hand and looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was used for.

The so-called seeds, do we have to plant them?

But I'm afraid this thing can't be grown with ordinary soil, right? What should I do?

He was about to ask when his ears suddenly moved slightly and a sound of breaking air came from afar. He immediately turned his head and looked into the distance. The sound was originally very faint, but it was approaching almost in an instant. He also saw the girl flying towards him at an incredibly fast speed on a sword.

Ji Yu also noticed the movement and looked up into the air. The pupils in his double eyes suddenly shrank slightly.

In the blink of an eye, Yun Qingqing was already in front of him.

When she was dozens of feet away from Xiao Changheng, she jumped down, holding Dawn in her hand, landed beside Xiao Changheng and pulled him behind her, holding the sword across Ji Yu's neck with a cold look.

"Who are you? You are the one who brought him here. What is your purpose?!"

Ji Yu had been staring at her in a daze until she was awakened by the shout. She suddenly knelt down and bowed deeply.

"Master Beast Master! I have finally waited for you!"

Yun Qingqing, who rushed over in a hurry to stand up for someone, said: "......?"
