Which one do you like?
Lin Xue was also surprised by her own luck. She turned her head and casually asked her two disappointed apprentices.
“Master, Master, I love this fire-type greatsword. It suits my swordsmanship perfectly.”
“Master, I want this trident. With my water-based skills, I think I can stir up rivers.”
Both apprentices pointed out the weapons they had their eyes on to their master.
Lin Xue walked up to the two weapons and easily pulled them out with a flick of her wrist.
Lin Xue...
Zhao Yunting...
Li Zichen...
The little fox exclaimed, "My host is amazing!"
After a moment of surprise and envy, Lin Xue and 629 took charge of harvesting these magical artifacts, while their two disciples followed behind with storage bags.
As they walked and collected artifacts, the gloomy sword tomb gradually cleared of its mist as the magical artifacts were taken away, revealing its true appearance.
It turns out that this is a ravine between several mountains, and there are no remains of ancestors in the burial mounds. These small mounds are all used to carry ritual objects and the will of their former owners.
After the last weapon was taken from the sword mound, all the raised mounds of earth deflated.
No one who comes here can tell that this place was once such a desolate and magnificent scene.
"Master, we're rich now! With so many magical treasures and weapons, we can easily melt them down and forge our own unique magical artifacts!"
They had initially thought that finding materials for Qi refining would be extremely difficult, but to their surprise, they solved the problem at their very first stop in the secret realm.
Moreover, even without remelting, these magical artifacts can still be used after proper refining.
However, to achieve the best results, it's still necessary to redesign it according to your own circumstances.
"Master, Senior Brother, we've really struck it rich this time..."
Because Li Zichen had only recently joined the sect, he didn't speak as casually as his senior brother.
However, after spending some time together, he roughly figured out his master's temperament, as well as the personalities of his senior brother and the little fox steward.
The group got along better and better.
"Let's go, let's check out other places!"
"Even battlefield ruins offer many opportunities; you might just find several treasures!"
After saying that, Lin Xue led her disciples away from the mountain valley and headed out of the mountains.
The towering forests and heavy mist in the mountains lend this place a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.
However, these forests also contain many high-grade medicinal herbs that are rarely seen in the outside world.
Whenever they encountered good medicinal herbs, the two apprentices would diligently dig them up and store them, so Lin Xue didn't need to do it herself.
According to Zhao Yunting, it means that when the master is in trouble, the disciple will do his work.
The group chatted and laughed along the way, unlike the other teams who seemed tense.
"Whoosh..."
Two hours passed peacefully, and I don't know how long I walked in the mountains and forests, but suddenly I felt something running quickly through the mist.
"Everyone be careful, there seems to be something lurking in the fog."
Lin Xue has lost her cultivation, but her divine sense remains powerful.
They quickly locked onto the figure, but because the other party was moving too fast, they hadn't been able to see what it was yet.
"Whoosh..."
Another whooshing sound came from the side; something had run past them.
"Master, I wonder what's hiding in this forest. They're moving so fast, I can't even see them!"
Zhao Yunting picked up his weapon with some apprehension, ready for battle at any moment.
"Host, we've found you!"
Just as everyone was getting anxious, 629 immediately transmitted the images it had captured to Lin Xue's mind.
"This is?"
"Wind and Cloud Lion?"
Lin Xue thought there were several of these things, but it turned out there was only one.
Moreover, it is a rare and precious spirit beast, the Wind and Cloud Lion.
If we were to capture it and use it as a mount for our own apprentice, it would be perfect.
"Master, did you see what that thing was?"
Upon hearing his master's mutterings, Zhao Yunting immediately guessed the reason for the matter.
"There's a young Wind and Cloud Lion nearby. Which of you two wants it as a mount? Let's try our best to capture it and bring it back to the sect!"
Upon hearing that it was a spirit beast, the two disciples' eyes lit up.
“Master, I don’t want it. The Wind and Cloud Lion belongs to the wind and fire attributes, and it is more suitable for Senior Brother.”
Upon hearing that it was the Wind and Cloud Lion, Li Zichen wanted it very much, but he knew that this spirit beast was not very compatible with his spiritual root.
Fortunately, my senior brother has a single fire-attribute spiritual root, and if he is paired with this Wind and Cloud Lion, their combined combat power will increase exponentially.
Hearing his junior brother say that, Zhao Yunting's lips curled into a smile.
"Master, your disciple wants this Wind and Cloud Lion as a mount!"
That's great. If he had such a spirit beast as a battle partner, his strength would be greatly enhanced.
If he were to encounter that group of demonic cultivators again, even without the Grand Steward taking action, he could defeat them all by cooperating with Fengyun Lion.
"Chief, lay the bait."
At Lin Xue's command, 629 quickly threw a large, bloody chunk of meat in front of them.
This piece of meat was prey they caught outside the secret realm.
At the behest of its host, 629 also collected some, in case its host got hungry and needed to make food.
He is now the sect's chief steward, and he has always been in charge of collecting and managing supplies.
The scent of flesh and blood quickly attracted the Wind and Thunder Lion to feed. The group carefully hid not far away, afraid of disturbing the spirit beast.
As soon as Fengyun Lion finished eating the meat, he felt dizzy and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
It tried to resist by struggling to stand up, but despite moving its four paws, it couldn't actually stand up.
Then, before Fengyun Lion lost consciousness, it saw several people appear in front of it.
One of them even cut his finger, dripping a drop of blood onto his forehead, and a contract formation appeared before it.
As the formation unfolded, the Wind and Cloud Lion tried to resist, but it soon found that it could no longer control its own thoughts.
A drop of blood welled up from its chest and fell onto the contract.
Then a strange aura swept into its mind, and the Wind and Cloud Lion knew that it had been contracted into a spirit pet.
Since the matter was already settled, it stopped resisting and obediently allowed itself to be put into the spirit beast pouch.
"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on acquiring the spirit beast Wind and Cloud Lion!"
Seeing that things were progressing so smoothly, Li Zichen immediately cupped his hands to congratulate his senior brother.
"It's all thanks to my master's method that I was able to acquire a powerful spirit beast without lifting a finger!"
Zhao Yunting happily clutched the spirit beast pouch. This was his first spirit beast, something he had never dared to dream of before.
