Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Xuantian Sect
Ning Yu brought the rest of the disciples back to the bow to stand guard again.
A disciple whispered, "Senior Sister, that little wolf cub is a Qi Refining Level 1 demon beast. It must be raised by the Beast Peak. If you just send it away like this, what will we do when the Beast Peak comes?"
Ning Yu looked straight ahead, his voice cold, "The sect has an order. Monster beasts are inherently difficult to eradicate. Ownerless monster beasts are not allowed to leave the Beast Peak. Owner monster beasts must be equipped with collars before they can walk around the sect."
"That little wolf cub doesn't have any markings of its owner. If it truly belongs to Beast Peak, it's probably just an ordinary cub being raised by the Beast Breeding Hall and hasn't yet recognized its owner. Consider it as a gift to that little girl. I'll make up the difference with the contribution points later."
"But after this... Heh, those disciples who received the tasks of raising and patrolling the Beast Breeding Hall and Beast Peak this month better explain to me why such a huge Beast Peak couldn't even keep an eye on a newly weaned wolf cub, allowing it to escape onto the Immortal Boat!"
"If this gets known to those people on the boat who want to become my disciples, wouldn't it tarnish the reputation of my Xuantian Sect and make people laugh at me for nothing?"
Several disciples shrank their necks when they heard this. If there was one place that Xuantian Sect disciples feared the most, it would probably be the Law Enforcement Hall.
Senior Sister Ning's master, Shui Yaoguang, is an elder in the Law Enforcement Hall. This master-disciple duo are renowned as masters of whipping in the Xuantian Sect. They are also known for their cold and unfeeling personalities. If a disciple makes a serious mistake, they will literally be hung up and whipped!
Fortunately, letting a wolf cub run away was not a big mistake, and he would not be hung up and beaten. At most, he would be punished to go to the zoo or bird park to clean up poop.

Because the wind was too strong on the deck, Yun Miao and his companions looked at the scenery for a while and then returned to the cabin. As a result, just as they reached the middle of the corridor, Yun Miao saw a human-shaped "sea urchin" walking out of the previous room.
Everyone was startled at first, then realized that this "sea urchin" was actually Tan Xiaobai. The amber and gold crown that had once held his hair was gone, leaving his black hair as fluffy and lush as the fur of the little black wolf in Yun Miao's arms. Remnants of electric arcs flickered on his clothes as he moved.
"Boss!"
When Tan Xiaobai saw Yun Miao, he immediately went up to her excitedly, his little fangs flashing with laughter.
As soon as he approached, everyone felt as if their hair came alive and floated towards him, and they quickly took a step back in fear.
Yun Miao: "Stop, stop, stop. Don't come over here yet. Why are there so many sparks and lightning?"
Tan Xiaobai had no choice but to stop and look at Yun Miao with excitement and admiration.
"I have to thank you, Boss! What you said just now was so sharp and insightful. It was like a bolt of lightning that instantly split the chaos and allowed me to see the world again!"
Yun Miao: "...So you were split into a sea urchin?"
Tan Xiaobai smiled brightly, "So I was struck by lightning and had an epiphany. Then, accidentally... hehe, I broke through to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm. Because I have a lightning root, I broke through too quickly just now and couldn't control it, so this happened. But don't worry, it will be fine after a while."
"I never thought I'd get such a great benefit just after becoming the boss's younger brother. The boss is really my benefactor!"
He took out a plain storage bag from the embroidered purse at his waist and offered it with both hands.
"This contains all the spirit stones I have. Although I usually spend money lavishly and don't have much left, I came all the way from Tanzhou to Yunzhou to become his disciple. My uncle and aunt were worried about me, so they gave me a lot more before I left."
"I've been thinking about it and I really don't know what to give as a thank you gift, so I decided to just give all these spirit stones to you, Boss. I hope you will accept them and don't despise them."
The gift that Tan Xiao gave was full of sincerity. If it were someone else, they might hesitate, thinking that the storage bag was too hot to hold, but Yun Miao didn't think so.
In her opinion, she helped Tan Xiaobai = the player trigger the side quest and successfully completed it = the storage bag was the reward for completing the side quest.
So she took the storage bag without hesitation and hung it around her waist like Huo Xin did. Then she straightened her back and raised her hand to stroke the fur of the little black wolf in her arms. She looked quite like a black Taoist godmother.
"Very good. Since you're so sensible, I promise you'll be my number one little brother from now on. Work hard, I have high hopes for you. But don't let your love get you cocky, okay? If you don't do well, someone else will take the number one little brother position."
Tan Xiaobai immediately bowed solemnly, "Thank you for your appreciation, Boss! I will definitely work hard under you, no matter what happens. I will never hesitate to go through fire and water, and I will never give up my position as the top subordinate to anyone else!"
After saying this, he glanced warily at Guan Dahai and Gao Zhu behind Yun Miao.
Guan Dahai: ...Why are you looking at him? He's not interested in competing with you for the position of number one subordinate. Besides, aren't you Yun Miao's only subordinate? What are you so nervous about?
Because the corridor was not a place to stay for long, everyone quickly returned to the room to sit and rest. The elder who had been protecting Tan Xiaobai in the room was no longer there. They were quite happy drinking tea and chatting.

After an unknown amount of time, Ning Yu's voice rang in everyone's ears again.
"Everyone, we will arrive at Xuantian Sect in a moment, so please make preparations early."
Everyone gradually walked out of the cabin. Yun Miao walked to the deck holding Xiao Hei. At this moment, a crane carrying a white deer passed by the fairy boat. When she looked over, she happened to meet the eyes of the white deer.
"Yo yo yo~"
The white deer let out a cry, then followed the crane into the thick clouds and disappeared.
Yun Miao's eyes widened: "Deer... Why is the deer flying in the sky? No, it should be why is the deer flying in the sky on a crane?!"
The next second, several young men and women in wide robes with big sleeves rushed out from the clouds with long swords under their feet. The strong wind in the clouds made their clothes flutter and their black hair dance, giving them a very elegant and graceful look.
They also noticed the immortal boat and took the initiative to lower their altitude. They stepped on their flying swords and were flush with the side of the boat. They chatted for a few words with several Xuantian Sect disciples at the bow. Then they whooshed and turned into a stream of light, overtook the immortal boat, and disappeared into the clouds in front.
The fairy boat also began to fly downwards at this time. As the altitude decreased, the green scenery caught everyone's eyes.
Yunmiao looked down and saw the endless Xuantian Mountains, with peaks upon peaks, and countless steep cliffs and peaks that were like sharp swords piercing the sky, with astonishing momentum.
Because she knew in advance that the main area of Xuantian Sect was composed of nine mountains, her attention was attracted by the eight largest and tallest mountains below.
It was at this glance that she suddenly discovered that if the eight peaks were used as the backbone and the rest of the undulating mountains below were connected into a line, this area of mountains seemed to form the shape of a sleeping dragon and a coiled pearl!
The 'treasure pearl' coiled by the dragon vein is a large emerald green lake, and above the lake is the last ninth mountain, which is also the main peak of Xuantian Sect, a floating mountain suspended thousands of feet in the sky!
The remaining eight peaks surround the main peak, forming a protective formation. All nine peaks are covered with vast forests, towering ancient trees, and jagged rocks.
The mountaintops are shrouded in clouds and mist, and the sunlight creates a radiant glow. Countless pavilions, towers, bridges, and waterside terraces are dotted in an orderly manner, and several iron cable suspension bridges crisscross and connect these dangerous peaks.
Yun Miao stood there stunned. Not only her, but everyone else was also staring blankly at the ground below. Countless emotions surged in their hearts, but they were blown away by the strong wind above the clouds. All that was left in their hearts and eyes was this fairyland in the clouds.
Ning Yu stood in the wind, looking at Xuantian Sect below with a gentle look in his eyes.
"Everyone, we have arrived at the Xuantian Sect. Below is the Heavenly Ladder. As long as you can step over it and pass through the Heart-Searching Formation, you will reach the Cloud-Viewing Platform on the main peak. Anyone who enters the Cloud-Viewing Platform within three days will be able to join our Xuantian Sect!"
Then she slapped the storage bag at her waist, and countless round brown pills flew out from it and hovered in front of everyone.
"This is a low-grade fasting pill. Eating it will keep you from starving for the next half month..."
Yun Miao didn't wait for her to finish, and had already grabbed the pill in the air and stuffed it into her mouth. This fasting pill had no taste, but the taste was terrible, and it tasted like chewing wood chips.
The others also took the pills with either excitement or trepidation.
Ge Yan, who was standing on the observation deck, waved his sleeves, and the fairy boat suddenly disappeared. Everyone felt as if their feet were empty and they were falling from the clouds!
“Ahhhh!”
Amid the screams of many people, Ge Yan's old voice was heard.
"Go ahead. You will have to walk the rest of the way on your own. The Sect Master and the other Peak Masters and Elders will be waiting for you at the Guanyun Terrace."
"Leave your little wolf with me for now. I'll return it to you after the test is over."
Xiao Hei, held in Yun Miao's arms, vanished, and she, along with the others, landed on a layer of cloud as thick as the ground. The surroundings were thick with mist, a vast expanse of white, with only a jade-carved staircase faintly visible through the clouds.
The layers of jade steps sloped upwards and disappeared into the clouds, with no end in sight. Some even suspected that it had no end at all.
Huo Xin turned to look at Yun Miao and the others, and said firmly, "We'll meet on the Guanyun Terrace."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around neatly, walked past the few people in front of her who were hesitating and indecisive, and walked towards the ladder.
When everyone saw someone coming out, they immediately looked over, wanting to see what was going on with the ladder. However, they saw that the girl in black had just stepped on the first step of the ladder when her figure immediately dissipated in the clouds and was no longer seen!
“Wow.”
Yun Miao exclaimed in surprise, then excitedly stepped onto the ladder to heaven, and his figure quickly disappeared in the clouds.
Tan Xiaobai hurriedly caught up with him: "Boss, wait for me!"
Guan Dahai and Gao Zhu were a little scared at first, but seeing this, they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet and followed in.
