A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

Xue'er blinked her big eyes and acted cute towards Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan understood its words and flicked its head in annoyance: "Of course not! This medicine isn't ripe yet!"

"Meow~ (Alright then!)"

Seeing Xue'er's dejected look, he couldn't help but find it a little funny.

Just then, a seabird flew in from the sea and began to circle above the courtyard.

Bai Yuan sensed something was wrong. Suddenly, the seabird flapped its wings and fell like a sharp sword, launching a sneak attack on the spiritual herb that Xue'er had been eyeing.

He instinctively raised his fingers, preparing to stop the seabird.

But when he heard Xue'er's cry, his hand paused, and then he saw Xue'er casually pick up a pebble with her tail and fling it away with a whoosh. The whole action was completed in the blink of an eye.

The pebble struck the seabird's wing hard, and it let out a scream before falling to the ground and struggling.

Bai Yuan was immediately pleasantly surprised.

The strength Xue'er just displayed was much greater than when she first obtained the [Iron Tail] a month ago. Not only was her attack speed faster, but her strength was also much greater.

The seabird was shot down by Xue'er in just one move.

"Meow! (I can't eat this, and you still want to eat it!)"

Xue'er was like an enraged...

The lion walked up to the struggling seabird, pressed its paw down on it, and instantly froze it in fear.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

He turned his gaze back to the coveted medicinal herb, becoming increasingly eager to find out what kind of herb it was.

It should be noted that this medicinal herb is only 50% complete in its growth process and is far from mature.

This not only tempted Xue'er to steal a bite, but it even attracted a seabird attack, which shows how extraordinary this medicinal herb is.

Since that's the case, we absolutely cannot allow it to have any problems.

So Bai Yuan had a sudden inspiration and went forward to pick up Xue'er, who was scolding the seabird.

"Alright, forget about it for now. I have a task for you."

"Meow? (What mission?)"

Xue'er tilted her head.

Bai Yuan pointed to the spiritual herb: "Before this spiritual herb matures, you are responsible for guarding it. Once it matures, I will allow you to eat it!"

Upon hearing this, Xue'er's eyes lit up. She jumped out of his arms, ran to the side of the medicinal herb, and sat down properly, like a loyal guard.

"Meow! (No problem!)"

Just then, Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue heard the commotion in the backyard and rushed over. They saw the seabird lying motionless on the ground, looking like a dead bird, and didn't know what had happened.

"How is this going?"

Seeing the two of them approach, Bai Yuan smiled and explained what had just happened to them.

When they heard that Xue'er could actually use her tail to pick up pebbles and throw them to shoot down birds, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but then some doubts arose.

Upon hearing that Bai Yuan had asked Xue'er to guard the spiritual medicine, she felt it was somewhat inappropriate.

"Xue'er is so young, is it really okay for her to guard this precious medicinal herb?"

Upon hearing this, Xue'er was even more anxious than Bai Yuan. In her heart, this spiritual herb was already hers. She was counting on completing the mission and then eating the fruit she had been longing for.

What will happen if Bai Yuan cancels the mission?

Bai Yuan comforted the anxious Xue'er, then gestured towards the seabirds in the courtyard.

"This is what Xue'er conquered; you must believe in its strength."

"Then let Xue'er show us."

Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue were still somewhat skeptical. Having not witnessed it with their own eyes, they found it hard to believe what Bai Yuan had just said.

It cast a glance at Xue'er, and immediately became serious, using its tail to pick up a pebble, and then with a whoosh, flung it at the tree next to it.

To the astonishment of the two, the pebble struck the tree trunk, leaving a faint mark.

Only at this moment did they begin to take Xue'er's strength seriously.

Ningyan finally understood why Bai Yuan was willing to spend twenty gold coins to buy it back, and why he said it wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Indeed, just by looking at its appearance, who would guess that such a small cat has such abilities?

"Xue'er is so amazing!"

The two of them huddled up to Xue'er and touched her curiously, having no objection to Bai Yuan's decision to have Xue'er guard the spiritual medicine.

Bai Yuan looked at the two people and the cat and found it somewhat amusing.

He walked to the side and picked up the seabird that was lying on the ground pretending to be dead.

Ningyan and Jimo Huaxue looked at them with suspicion: "What do you plan to do with this bird?"

Bai Yuan touched his chin.

"There's not much meat on it, let's just keep it locked up and raise it for now!"

He recalled how Xue'er had subdued him with a single claw, leaving him too afraid to move, and this gave him some ideas.

The question is, is it possible to subdue it?

This subjugation was not done by him, but by Xue'er.

Due to the limitations of his Spirit Mastery level, the number of spirit pets he can control is limited, which means he certainly cannot, and does not have, the energy to, tame and cultivate a large number of spirit pets.

But that doesn't mean he can't recruit subordinates!

If he lets Xue'er try to tame other wild beasts, he can use Xue'er to command them!

This indirectly achieves the effect of taming a large number of pets.

Even if it doesn't succeed, it's just a waste of time at most, but if it does succeed, that would be interesting.

Even if Baek-hoon from Korea can control hundreds of birds, or the assassins from Luo Wang can control spiders, they are all utterly inferior to him!

Chapter 85 I'm Here to Discuss Cooperation (Seeking First Subscription)

The following day, Sanghai City was bustling with activity.

The Xuanxin Pavilion, which the Taoists had been preparing for a long time, has finally opened!

The various factions that remained in Sanghai City arrived early in the morning, including the Yin-Yang School, the Mohist School, the Agricultural School, and the forces representing the royal families of various countries.

Although Bai Yuan had promised Xiao Ling yesterday that he would come to Xuanxin Pavilion to oversee things.

However, by the time he arrived, it was already around 9 a.m., and Xuanxin Pavilion had been open for business for some time.

He discovered that it seemed that people from all the major factions had already left.

Apart from a few staff members, only Xiao Ling and other Taoist disciples were guarding the Xuanxin Pavilion.

Upon seeing Bai Yuan arrive, Xiao Ling immediately stepped forward, revealing a resentful expression, as if to say: Why are you so late?

Bai Yuan gave an awkward smile, avoided looking at him, and asked about the sales of the pills.

Lin He immediately stepped forward and said with a smile, "My lord, all the Qi-Nourishing Pills have been sold!"

Bai Yuan nodded slightly; this was not surprising.

They had previously promoted the Qi-Nourishing Pill, attracting so many people, so it's not surprising that it had this effect.

Bai Yuan had previously allocated one hundred Qi-Nourishing Pills to Xuanxin Pavilion, and with the fifty pills sent by Chisongzi, they had a total of thirty bottles of pills.

Xuanxin Pavilion prices the Qi Nourishing Pill at ten gold coins per bottle, with each pill costing an average of two gold coins.

In other words, these thirty bottles of pills sold for three hundred gold coins.

It can be said to be extremely profitable.

To his surprise, none of the thirty bottles of pills caused any controversy.

Therefore, he asked directly, "Were there any problems before I came?"

Xiao Ling and the others shook their heads.

"Because we prepared a large number of pills, the major forces tacitly agreed to only buy one or two bottles. The Yin Yang School bought the most, taking away five bottles of pills."

He was somewhat displeased when the Yin-Yang School was mentioned.

He was worried that the Yin-Yang School had bought up so many of these excellent pills, fearing they might be able to decipher the formula.

"Uncle-Master, should we report the situation with the Yin-Yang School to Master?"

Bai Yuan waved his hand dismissively.

"There's no need. If you're worried that the Yin-Yang School will decipher our pill formula, there's no need to worry. They can't."

He had long guessed that the Yin-Yang School would definitely buy more pills to take back.

Most of the elixirs in the world come from Taoism and Yin-Yang School. Now that Taoism is suddenly selling so many Qi-nourishing pills, Yin-Yang School must be very curious.

They'll definitely try to reverse-engineer the formula after buying so many, and then refine them themselves.

Unfortunately, this was a system-generated formula, so their efforts were destined to be in vain.

Seeing that nothing was amiss, Bai Yuan didn't plan to stay any longer.

"The Qi-Nourishing Pills are sold out, so there shouldn't be any problems today. With you all here to keep things in order, I'll head back now."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoling gave a wry smile.

He went to great lengths to invite Bai Yuan to oversee Xuanxin Pavilion, but not only was he late, he also planned to leave early!

However, judging from the situation, Bai Yuan's presence is indeed unnecessary.

Just as Bai Yuan was about to leave, a rather luxurious carriage arrived outside.

A group of burly Qi soldiers, clad in armor and wielding long halberds, followed the carriage.

Afterwards, they quickly blocked all the nearby streets, prohibiting passage.

Bai Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw these people.
