Zhu Yi transmigrated and learned that she was a small, untalented cultivator who couldn't easily practice cultivation. This didn't bother her much; fortunately, the original owner was extre...
The Spirit Beast Peak is quite far from the pharmacy, separated by two mountain peaks.
When Zhu Yi arrived leisurely in her crane-feather flying vehicle, the aunt guarding the Spirit Beast Peak was already in a bad mood.
"Here to collect spirit beast droppings?" The grumpy aunt was dressed in a simple dark green robe with a dark red belt around her waist. From a distance, she appeared rather tall.
Zhu Yi piloted the Crane Feather Flying Vehicle to the foot of Spirit Beast Peak. Indeed, her good mood today stemmed from this flying vehicle.
A single low-grade spirit stone is enough to make it fly around the sect twice. When enlarged, it even comes with a steering wheel, a very user-friendly design.
More importantly, it can also change the size of the space, protective shield, etc. according to Zhu Yi's needs.
Of course, different levels of change require different amounts of spirit stones.
Currently, Zhu Yi is using a single-person seat, flying at low altitude, with a light protective shield. For now, she can use this luxurious enjoyment of a low-grade spirit stone to soothe her pain of losing 778 spirit stones.
Silently accepting the complaints from the grumpy auntie.
"Auntie, I'm sorry, this is my first day on the job, and I'm not very familiar with the sect yet, so I'm a little late. From now on, the job of collecting spirit beast droppings will be my responsibility." Zhu Yi braced herself and faced the green-clad auntie's irritability head-on.
"Come earlier next time!" The grumpy aunt took the key to the gate of Spirit Beast Peak from her waist. "Spirit beasts are clean animals; if you come too late to clean, they'll be unhappy!"
"Here's the spare key. Sometimes when I'm not home, you can open the door yourself!"
Zhu Yi took the key to Spirit Beast Peak and listened quietly as the grumpy aunt told her about the precautions for Spirit Beast Peak.
She was too tired to talk...
Before entering the gate of Spirit Beast Peak, she first circulated the wood elemental energy in her body for a cycle to relieve her tired muscles and bones after a long day.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't have the energy to follow behind all sorts of spirit beasts and pick up their droppings.
Beneath her feet lay a ground paved with red bricks, and a three-meter-wide stepped mountain path unfolded before Zhu Yi's eyes.
In her mind, Spirit Beast Peak should be a place similar to a zoo in her previous life, a place where trees grow luxuriantly, grasses flourish, and birds and beasts live in harmony.
However, Zhu Yi was a little stunned as she looked at the pavilions and towers built against the mountain with two entrances and two exits: this configuration was many times better than her Peach Grove Cottage on Sweet Peach Peak!
Is it certain that the place where the spirit beasts live is so luxurious, glittering with gold, like a royal villa?
Zhu Yi suddenly felt that the red brick steps beneath her feet were no longer appealing, and that the red brick path didn't quite match the architectural style of the Spirit Beast Peak...
She walked along the red brick steps and went further in. At the foot of the left side of the Spirit Beast Peak, there was a large lake. The lake water rippled and shimmered in the afterglow of the setting sun. Fish were leaping and jumping on the surface of the lake.
Zhu Yi's gaze moved upwards, and she saw a large flowerbed beside the winding stream. In early spring, only a few unnamed wildflowers were blooming in the flowerbed.
Occasionally, a crane would pass by with its haughty posture, and birds would rise and fall in the forest. Zhu Yi unconsciously slowed down her pace of climbing the mountain. She suddenly felt that it would be nice to stop and appreciate the scenery of the Spirit Beast Peak.
"Hey, you're the new poop scooper?" A rather sharp voice rang out from her right front.
The sudden appearance of the little black cat startled Zhu Yi.
She followed the sound but found no one.
The road ahead was still paved with red bricks, but she had already climbed halfway up the mountain, leaving the two-entrance pavilion far behind.
"Hmph! You're so stupid, meow! I'm so pretty, can't you see me?" The voice rang out again, this time clearly carrying a hint of anger.
Zhu Yi looked carefully and sure enough, she found a little black cat on the red brick road in front of her, proudly swishing its tail, tilting its head, and staring straight at her with its golden pupils.
Well... you can't really blame her. Although she's been here for a long time, she still finds it hard to adapt to the world of cultivation at times.
For example, the little black cat in front of you can talk.
In her past life, she would definitely have fed it dried fish, but now that it was behaving so fiercely, Zhu Yi generously decided not to feed it!
The main problem was that she didn't have enough spirit stones to buy dried fish; poverty prevented her from feeding the cat...
"It's you who's talking! Little black cat! You are indeed quite beautiful, all black, but I wonder, between you and the little crow, who is blacker?" Zhu Yi walked past the little black cat without any politeness.
"Hey! New human, you're so inconsiderate! You...you actually compared me to a crow!" Zhao Cai protested, quite angry. "Why didn't you bring me any dried fish, meow?"
"You said I came here to clean up your poop, so why did I bring you dried fish?" Zhu Yi was furious. It turned out that cats in the cultivation world could also rob people on the road. She didn't have any extra spirit stones to exchange for dried fish for it.
It seems that this black cat can hunt on its own on Spirit Beast Peak.
"Hmph! The newcomer is ignorant!" The little black cat blocked Zhu Yi's path, its arrogant expression indicating that if she wanted to pass, she had to leave some dried fish behind!
Master Yujing's beloved black cat, Zhaocai, had never been treated with such disrespect. Wherever it went, it was always pampered, and the junior disciples would all respectfully rush to offer it dried fish.
This new apprentice the master took in is so clueless! It's infuriating!
Zhu Yi was too lazy to argue with a little black cat that had gained sentience. She had the litter-scooping tool that the grumpy old lady had given her at the gate of the Spirit Beast Peak hanging on her waist. The cultivation world was truly luxurious; even the tools for scooping litter for spirit beasts were made of white jade. Forgive her for being a transmigrator and lacking in knowledge.
Further ahead lies the dwelling place of the spirit beasts; she needs to find their droppings.
"Hey, human! Don't come any further if you don't have any dried fish!" The little black cat got a little anxious and angry when it saw that Zhu Yi was really ignoring it, and blocked Zhu Yi's feet again to stop her from moving forward.
Zhu Yi reached out and grabbed the back of its neck without hesitation.
"You! How can you be so rude, meow?" The little black cat bared its white teeth, its whiskers practically standing on end in anger. Suddenly, it exhaled a puff of black smoke onto Zhu Yi's face, its golden pupils now resembling mosquito coils. It was going to teach this little girl a lesson!
Zhu Yi really didn't know what kind of high-level move this little black cat was going to use on her. She squinted and stared for a while, but apart from the black breath the cat was exhaling and the patterns on its constantly moving eyes, there didn't seem to be anything special about it.
She watched the little black cat act up with great interest.
The little black cat has no other colored fur on its body; it's jet black and glossy, with garlic-clove-like fur covering its neck and chest, showing how well it's been cared for.
After watching for a while, Zhu Yi didn't see the little black cat cause any trouble.
"Hey, are you even capable? Just tell me what moves you're going to make, so I can mimic them and match up!"
The mosquito coil pattern on the little black cat's eyes became even denser.
It was indignant and tried even harder to exhale a mouthful of black mist that swirled around Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi laughed.
She simply grabbed the little black cat by the scruff of its neck and continued walking forward.
The sun was about to set, so she needed to hurry up and scoop the poop.
