Just as Shen Yuan was struggling with the novice guidance task, a huge figure quietly approached the place on the street outside the courtyard.
A Maine Coon cat with yellow and white fur and a body as big as a tiger was walking slowly in the alley.
The Maine Coon moved gently, and its huge body made no sound at all.
Shen Yuan's courtyard is located in a remote area, but there are still people passing by in the alley this morning.
But no matter who they were, it seemed that no one had ever noticed the big cat that was as big as a tiger, as if this big cat did not exist in their eyes.
If you observe carefully, you will find that there are wisps of black evil spirit wrapped around the Maine Coon cat, blocking it from the prying eyes of ordinary people.
In their eyes, the Maine Coon is just an ordinary stray cat.
Approaching Shen Yuan's courtyard, the Maine Coon felt extremely nervous.
That night, because of his momentary greed, the Maine Coon got involved in the fight between demons. He thought that no matter how chaotic the situation was, he would be more than capable of protecting the king with his own strength.
But who would have thought that the human hiding in the courtyard was actually a True Lord Lianxu, who killed dozens of demons with just a wave of his hand.
The Maine Coon chose to flee in its instinctive fear, running hundreds of miles to a desolate place.
He thought he was safe, but when the Maine Coon turned around, he saw that he was left behind.
The Maine Coon felt both regret and fear about this incident.
It knew very well that its king was just a kitten less than a month old, and had no fighting power except for his special talent.
Even a big rat coming out of the sewer can fight on equal terms with its own king.
In that chaotic situation, did the king escape safely? Or was he injured by the fleeing demons? Or was he captured by the powerful Lianxu Zhenjun?
Such questions have become a nightmare that Maine Coons are unwilling to face.
It returned to the old town and gathered a large number of stray cats to search for the king's traces, and looked for the surviving demons that night for investigation.
After checking all the possibilities one by one, the Maine Coon cats got the second worst result, which was that their king was captured by the human Lianxu Zhenjun.
For a long time afterwards, the Maine Coon cat was struggling with whether to save their king.
You have to know that he is a True Lord Lianxu who can shatter the void. Even the incomplete and scattered memories of inheritance are constantly reminding it that this is a power it can never match.
Even during the peak period of the demon race, there were only a handful of demon kings who could rival True Lord Lianxu, a powerful force that had already surpassed the mundane boundaries.
Even if he got a little closer to the other party's courtyard, he would be noticed by the other party, let alone bringing the king back.
The other party can easily kill me with just a thought.
The Maine Coon cat once wanted to abandon the old town, move far away from this area, and find a desolate wilderness to rule the mountains.
With its talent, as long as it can survive, there is a great possibility that it will become a great demon king who rules a region in the future. Why should it lose its life for something that is almost impossible to accomplish?
What's more, the king is gifted, and True Lord Lianxu might be able to train the king well.
Such thoughts spread wildly in the Maine Coon's mind until one night, when the Maine Coon dreamed of himself when he first met the king.
At that time, I was beaten all over by wild dogs while fighting for food and almost lost my life.
Just as he was lying next to the trash can waiting to die, a cardboard box was casually placed next to the trash can in the alley, and there was faint movement inside.
Not long after, a kitten that was only a few days old slowly crawled out of the cardboard box, walked up to it and gently licked the blood on its body.
Under the licking of the weak kitten, the fatal wound miraculously began to heal, and even the Maine Coon's mind had many inherited memories that did not belong to it.
From that day on, it regarded the weak black cat as its king, and even though its strength grew rapidly, it still maintained respect for the kitten. Not only because of the noble bloodline, but also because of the redemption that night.
The Maine Coon cat woke up from his sleep and completely gave up the idea of escaping. He was determined to rescue the king who brought him salvation from humans even at the risk of death.
The Maine Coon had even participated in a demon trade fair before this, where he successfully broke into the Qi Transformation Realm and became a true demon.
However, the sad thing is that to a True Lord Lianxu, there seems to be no difference between the demons in the Refining Essence Realm and the Transformation of Qi Realm.
The Maine Coon crawled towards the small courtyard.
The Maine Coon was a little confused.
"Even a demon king can occupy a mountain range of hundreds of miles, but why would a dignified human Lianxu Zhenjun stay in this small courtyard with a lack of spiritual energy?"
Such doubts only flashed through its mind for a moment, and it tried to lower its breath as it climbed up the courtyard wall step by step.
It used up almost all of its courage to look up into the courtyard, trying to find its king and confirm whether the king was imprisoned here by the hateful humans.
But the scene that appeared before its eyes made it freeze in place.
In the corner of the courtyard, a palm-sized black and white kitten was lying on the lawn with its butt sticking up. Its white little paws were working hard to dig a hole, and it was throwing several empty plastic bags of snacks beside it into the hole to bury them.
The scene in front of us looks exactly like a kitten trying to bury the packaging bag after stealing snacks, in order to destroy the evidence.
Maine Coon: ???
In the training room, Shen Yuan, who had been pondering for a long time, finally made a pleasing decision.
Abandon the mission!
The Luoyun Sect's sect spirit pond had already dried up over the past ten thousand years, so there was no need to count on it.
As for building a spirit pond for one's own sect, it is even more unrealistic. Even if one plunders the entire Xuanhuang Realm today, one may not be able to gather so many precious spiritual objects to build a spirit pond.
The reward for the novice guidance mission is just a cave token. If the Luoyun Sect is still in existence, it can be handed over to the sect in exchange for the permission to open a cave. But after ten thousand years, it is completely useless.
"Anyway, the last part of this novice guidance mission is not something that must be completed. Even without the sect spirit pool, one can still break through. It's impossible for a living person to die from holding his urine, right?"
Having said that, Shen Yuan also knew that giving up the mission was completely helpless.
Once the novice guidance mission is stuck, it will be impossible to carry out subsequent main missions and side missions.
This influence may not seem to be a problem at the moment, but if it is left until the future, some variables may arise, which is also the problem that worries Shen Yuan the most.
“I didn’t expect that after completing two precious hidden achievements, I would end up getting stuck on the novice guidance mission of the Sect Spirit Pond, which only requires hands.
The last time I became the sect master by accident, I got stuck in the sect joining bug, and now there is really no way for this sect spirit pool to work."
Since he had chosen to give up, Shen Yuan, who had temporarily relaxed, said self-deprecatingly:
“The sect’s spiritual pond cannot be built, but you can’t ask me to steal a natural spiritual pond, right?
That is the body of the Dragon King of the Water Tribe. Even the Luoyun Sect is not qualified to fight for it. How could it be my turn?"
It was just a casual remark to relax, but after saying it, Shen Yuan suddenly froze in place.
"Wait a minute, are there still Dragon Lords in the Dharma Ending Age?"
