Chapter 9 Naming

[Nine-tailed cat demon, one tail, one life. 】

[Even if Yingying's tail fails, Bai Futu still has eight other tails to use. ]

[Bai Futu carries a deep blood feud and is determined to slaughter all the members of Qingyun Sect. Now she has only lost a tail, which cannot stop her from taking revenge.]

[Sigh, how can I let my seniors know about this...]

As a member of Qingyun Sect, Nanwang naturally does not want the heroine to succeed in revenge, but when he thinks of the heroine's immense strength in the later part of the original novel, he really does not have much confidence in Qingyun Sect...

Gu Shanshi took a deep breath and his face turned pale.

Nan Wang asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"

Gu Shanshi collected his thoughts and said solemnly, "Junior brother, I understand your good intentions. This is my messenger bird. Keep it. If you need anything from me, write to it and it will bring it to me."

Nan Wang asked in confusion: "Ah?"

"Junior brother, no need to say more! I understand everything!"

Gu Shanshi gave Nanwang a look that said "I understand everything", and then forcefully thrust a carrier bird into his hand.

Nan Wang refused: "No, no, I have..."

As for carrier birds, one is enough, there is no need to have more.

"No, you must keep my messenger bird!"

Gu Shanshi interrupted Nanwang and said proudly:

"I have a good relationship with my junior fellow apprentice of Qi Zong. I have several such messenger birds. I will lend this one to you for use. You have to wait until you enter the inner sect to have your own messenger bird, which may take some time. During this period, you can use my messenger bird to send messages to you. Not only can it send messages to me, but also to others. This little thing is really clever!"

Nanwang: “…”

In fact, he already has two carrier birds.

And there is a great possibility that those two messengers are smarter than Brother Gu's.

However, seeing that Gu Shan was in such high spirits, Nan Wang didn't want to spoil his mood, so he could only silently swallow what he wanted to say and accept the message.

"By the way, Junior Brother, I have something else for you."

Gu Shanshi took out a small bag from his arms and stuffed it into Nanwang's hand.

Nan thought it was the legendary storage bag that could be used as a personal bag, but when he picked it up he realized it was not a storage bag but just a cloth bag with rough stitching.

When he opened the bag, Nan Wang was stunned. It turned out to be a bag of low-grade spirit stones. A quick look showed that there were at least forty or fifty of them.

Nanwang refused again, saying: "Junior brother has received so much kindness from you, I cannot accept any more spirit stones from you..."

"Just keep it. This is something your errand boy stuffed into my pocket while we were talking. I guess you deserve it."

Gu Shanshi patted Nanwang on the back and said:

"The amount of spirit stones that the sect gives to the Miscellaneous Services Department is actually not small. Every month I see people from the Miscellaneous Services Department receiving spirit stones from the Thousand Machines Hall. But I guess the steward has never paid you for so many years? Alas, the Miscellaneous Services Steward just likes to do this kind of thing. After so many years, there has been no change at all!"

"Ah, the menial apprentices actually get paid? I...we all thought there wasn't any."

It was the first time that Nan Wang heard that disciples doing odd jobs actually received wages, and he suddenly felt as if his worldview had been refreshed.

"Alas." Gu Shanshi sighed sympathetically and answered irrelevantly: "There are too many people who want to cultivate immortality."

Although the words were incoherent, Nan Wang understood them.

——Even if their wages are withheld by the chores, even if they do not earn a penny after working for ten years, even if they will be kicked out when they reach a certain age, there are still countless people who, with their unattainable dreams, continue to embark on this road to immortality.

To use the words of Master Nanwang, this is called “If you don’t practice Taoism, there are many people who do.”

No matter how bullied or exploited one is, the temptation of becoming an immortal and living forever cannot be overcome.

There are so many people who want to become immortals.

Nan Wang looked at the large bag of spirit stones in front of him, feeling very sad.

The errand steward arbitrarily deducted their wages and used it to curry favor with the inner disciples who looked down on him...

etc.

Nan Wang was stunned.

The errand steward had gone to great lengths to withhold the spirit stones for ten years, but in the end they returned to their original owner and were back in his hands.

Thinking about it this way...it seems a bit refreshing?

"Alright, Junior Brother, keep the spirit stones. It's getting late, and I have to return to the Sword Sect to report. I'll leave first. You should practice hard and try to break through the fifth level of the body refining as soon as possible. You can go and listen to the magic and formation courses offered by the Disciple Hall in your spare time. It will be of great benefit to you..."

Nanwang said, “I remember it.”

"Okay, okay, brother, I'll come to see you next month. If you need anything, just send a messenger bird to send me a message!"

After Taniyama left, the originally crowded little house suddenly seemed a lot emptier.

Nan Wang breathed a sigh of relief and called out softly, "Rabbit?"

The next moment, a round, snow-white little rabbit rolled in from the window, jumped over the windowsill and fell to the ground.

"careful!"

Nan Wang leaped forward and caught the rabbit, but his head hit the hard wall, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Really? You're always so dangerous every time you show up. Have you been lazy in your training again?"

"grumble……"

Tutu knew that she was in the wrong, so she didn't say anything to Nanwang. Instead, she curled up into a soft ball and looked at Nanwang with a pitiful expression.

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you. I'm glad you can come and accompany me."

Nan Wang kissed Tutu on the cheek.

"grumble!"

Meng Lang! Frivolous!

Although Tutu complained like that, her body was honestly soft in Nanwang's palm, without any resistance at all.

"I am now an outer sect disciple. I can attend the outer sect elders' classes in two days. Tutu, do you want to go with me?"

"Chichichi."

No, I cannot show up in front of so many people. Being contaminated by karma will affect my cultivation.

"Well, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Then you should stay in the room and practice hard. At least practice the method of your appearance. I don't want to rescue you every time."

"grumble."

Got it. There won't be a next time.

"By the way, Bunny, I'm now an outsider. Do you still remember what you promised me?"

Nanwang pinched the drooping ears of the rabbit, rubbed them slowly twice, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Did you promise me that you would give you a name when I entered the outer sect?"

“Chichichi!”

You came in through the outer gate, and your cultivation is clearly only at the third level of the Body Refining Realm!

Tutu slapped Nanwang's mischievous hand away, snatched Ear back and hugged him in his arms, saying angrily.

"I reached the third level of refining body yesterday, and today I have reached the fourth level of conjoined body."

"grumble?"

"If you don't believe me, I'll prove it to you."

Nan Wang held Tutu in his arms and sat down beside the bed. He opened his bag, took out a dark stone, and with a light squeeze, the stone broke into a thick layer.

After skimming off the crumbs, the remaining stone was only the size of a finger. But even with this tiny piece, no matter how hard Nanwang tried, he couldn't crush it.

This is a trial stone that every menial disciple has. As their cultivation level increases, more parts of it can be crushed. When the trial stone is completely broken into pieces, the menial disciple's cultivation level has reached the fifth level of body refining and they can be promoted to outer disciples.

Nanwangka has been stuck in the third level of body refining for five years. He thought he would never be able to make a breakthrough in his lifetime, but he didn't expect that in just a few short days, not only was he admitted as an outer sect disciple, but his cultivation level also improved.

“Chichichi…”

Then you are only at the fourth level of the body refining, not the fifth level...

Tutu is still a little unconvinced.

"Yes, but who made you promise me that I would be able to name you when I enter the outer sect? What do you think? Now that I am an outer sect disciple, the resources are more abundant than before. Follow me and I guarantee that you will have a good life in the future!"

Nanwang gently stroked Tutu's back and said temptingly:

"For example, carrot cakes, roast chicken, stewed eggs... and your favorite candied haws and millet cakes. If I have the tools, I can also make some Western-style pastries you have never seen before, such as cakes, egg tarts, etc..."

“Chi…Chi!”

It should...sound better!

The rabbit slurped its saliva and compromised.

Naming a spirit beast is a very important matter, even for a fairy beast like Rabbit that is different from ordinary spirit beasts.

When it didn't have a name, the rabbit could still call itself the sect's magical beast, but once it was named by Nanwang, it became Nanwang's exclusive magical beast.

If other disciples knew that Nanwang had managed to trick a special spirit beast with just these mortal food, they would be so jealous that they would die.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it. From now on, you'll be called..."

Nanwang kept the secret a little, and seeing Tutu closing his eyes but raising one ear, he couldn't help laughing and said:

"My full name is An Nuo, which means peace and promise, and my nickname is Nuo Nuo, which means glutinous rice. What do you think?"
