I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Western Desolate Continent.

At the foot of Red Maple Mountain.

There is a mountain village nestled in the mountains and beside the water. There are more than a dozen lights on the road, but the village has no name yet.

A young man was walking on the village road, carrying a bamboo basket and humming a tune, walking with a gait that showed he didn't care about his relatives.

"Get up early in the morning to pick up manure? Is my woman coming back? ...Dangdangdangdangdang?"

The bamboo basket was full of soybeans. Although the boy walked casually, not a single soybean spilled out. He was quite steady.

The young man's name is Yuan Feng. On the surface, he looks to be fourteen or fifteen years old, but mentally he is already an adult.

It’s not that he is precocious, it’s just that he is a real time traveler.

He comes from Blue Planet and is a hard-working office worker. Working late at night is his blessing.

He did not die suddenly at work, but was hit and killed by a heavy truck on his way to vacation.

That's a rare annual holiday.

Whenever he thought of it, Yuan Feng felt extremely heartbroken.

He wasn't hit by a car earlier or later, but just happened to be on vacation and couldn't even be assessed as having a work-related injury.

But then I thought, it’s pointless to ask for work injury compensation since I have traveled through time.

Although he is not alone on Blue Star, he has an older brother and a younger brother at home, so he doesn't have to worry about his parents' retirement.

Thinking of this, Yuan Feng became open-minded. There was nothing he could do if he wasn't open-minded. He couldn't go back in time, so he could only accept the fact of traveling through time.

I just have a question, what are the benefits of time travel?

He read other people's novels and they all had the benefits of time travel, but he had none of that.

Not to mention system plug-ins, there is not even an old man to guide me.

What's even more tragic is that he found out that this is a world of cultivating immortals.

It is a world where mortals are like ants, while immortals move mountains and fill the seas, and fly around everywhere.

But I don't have any spiritual roots and can't practice at all.

The legends he heard from time to time at that time always touched his heart. For example, there was a child in the north who was touched on the head by an immortal and was granted immortality; another example was that there was a golden scale in the East China Sea that turned into a dragon and flew into the sky.

Yuan Feng also wanted to turn into a dragon and live forever, but the cold reality was before him: he had no spiritual roots and could not draw energy into his body.

It means that he will never be able to become an immortal in his life.

It took him several years to digest this reality before he finally accepted his situation.

It’s okay if I can’t become an immortal. I should have died under the big truck. Now I’m living a new life, which is considered a gain.

When he traveled through time, he was not without everything. At least he had a wooden house and a pigsty left by his parents in his previous life.

However, his previous parents did not leave him even a single pig, and the pigs in the pigsty now were still wild boars he caught in the mountains.

Now they have bred twelve pigs, and the breeding pigs are particularly fat and strong. When they are mating, they make a grunting sound, which is very exciting.

Thinking back then, he was extremely lucky as he found two injured wild boars, a male and a female, in the mountains, which he caught without any effort.

Perhaps this is the only benefit that time travel has brought him, picking up pigs in the mountains, which is not common.

This is not the end. Just half a year ago, he picked up another dairy cow and started milking it.

Now, besides pigs and cows, he also has a cat at home, which he also picked up. Picking up a cat is not considered luck.

There is nothing else in this mountain village but stray cats.

Originally he hadn't planned to keep the cat, but the cat refused to leave and looked pretty, so he reluctantly kept it.

"Hey!"

Yuan Feng kicked the fence door open.

We arrived home, which consisted of a wooden house, a row of pig pens, and a cowshed that had just been built with thatch. It was so simple that everything was visible.

It's a bit poor, but at least it's his own property.

With a "bang", Yuan Feng casually threw the burden on the ground.

The two bamboo baskets of soybeans this man brought were for feeding pigs, so there was no need to be too particular about hygiene.

The two baskets of beans were bought from a traveling merchant, and were not cheap. In order to fatten his pigs and sell them at a good price during the New Year, Yuan Feng had no choice but to spend a huge amount of money - eighty copper coins.

After putting down the burden, Yuan Feng walked to the corner, picked up the wooden barrel, washed it carefully, and then went to the cowshed to start milking.

There is nothing to eat at home, and this milk is the most nutritious thing for the body.

Yuan Feng wished he could squeeze out three buckets of milk a day, keep one bucket for himself and sell the other two.

Unfortunately, this black and white cow, although big in size, can only produce one bucket of milk a day.

The cow he raised was quite docile. He named her Lei Niang. She cooperated very well during milking, but would always shake for unknown reasons. He didn't know why, maybe she was too sensitive.

After milking, Yuan Feng started his second job of the day - feeding the pigs.

……

On the Red Maple Mountain, two figures slowly came down and headed straight towards Yuanfeng Courtyard.

A man and a woman, wearing the same purple Taoist robes.

Each of them had a red token on their waist, and anyone who knew what was good could recognize the identities of these two people at a glance.

It was the disciple of the Red Sail Beast Sect.

"Junior sister, are you going this way?" Gao Yang asked as he walked in front.

"That's right, Senior Brother. The tail of the Spirit-Seeking Marten I raised is shaking more and more. You know, my Spirit-Seeking Marten has never made any mistakes. If there is such a sign, it means there must be a spirit beast nearby, and it is not far away."

The one who answered was his fellow apprentice sister, named Ye Ni, who had a pretty face.

Gao Yuan nodded: "That's right, this time you and I are out for training at the order of our master. Three months have passed. It would be a disgrace to our master if we don't bring back a decent spirit beast." The man sighed softly and attached great importance to this training.

Ye Ni comforted him, "Brother, don't worry. The spirit beast ahead is approaching. You and I have made sufficient preparations. It is impossible for the black-winged tiger to escape like last time."

"I hope you can't run away anymore. Let's go without further delay."

After saying that, Gao Yuan leaped directly onto the treetop.

The leaves were shaking, and he seemed to be running on flat ground, and the leaves seemed to have become a flat stone road.

Seeing this, Ye Ni also jumped up and followed.

The two of them ran across the treetops like flying.

Of course, it was just like flying. The two of them were at the Foundation Establishment Stage and could not yet master the art of flying. They could only use the force to lighten their bodies, but their speed was also extremely fast.

After a few breaths, they arrived outside Yuanfeng's wall.

The two men landed lightly on the ground without raising a speck of dust and silently.

As soon as he landed, Gao Yuan narrowed his eyes and dispersed his spiritual sense, and opened his eyes after a moment.

With Gao Yuan's current cultivation level, his spiritual awareness is still hazy, but it is more than enough to detect danger.

"Junior sister, are you sure this is the place? This is just an ordinary farm, there is no aura of any spirit beasts."

"It can't be wrong. Brother, look at my spirit-seeking marten. Its tail is shaking violently. The spirit beast must have used its natural talent to hide. If you and I look for it carefully, we should be able to find it."

Gao Yuan looked at the Soul-Seeking Marten and found that its tail was shaking constantly just as his junior sister had said.

Their Hongfan Beast Sect is good at taming beasts, and the characteristics of the Spirit-Seeking Marten are knowledge points that every disciple must memorize.

"Brother, I suspect the spirit beast is hiding inside, let's go in quickly."

As she spoke, Ye Ni gathered her strength and was about to jump over the waist-high wooden wall.

"and many more!"

Gao Yuan's brows suddenly frowned, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

"what is that?"

Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed at the half basket of soybeans that the pigs had not finished eating inside the fence.

"What are you looking at?" Ye Ni looked at the bamboo basket blankly, "Isn't it just half a basket of soybeans?"

"Look carefully, those are not ordinary soybeans."

Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and grabbed a handful of soybeans in the air.

"What is this?!" Ye Ni looked at the soybeans in her senior brother's hand with a horrified expression.

"You can see it now, this is a beast-cultivating pill, and it is a top-grade beast-cultivating pill. One pill can raise any spirit beast below the Transformation Realm to a higher level."

You should know that it is not easy to cultivate spiritual beasts. After transforming into human form, if there is no external interference, it will take at least a hundred years of cultivation to reach the next level.

An ordinary spirit beast, if it wants to cultivate from its initial state to its transformation, needs to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon for at least a thousand years.

"So many, are they all top-grade beast-cultivating pills?"

Ye Ni looked at what her senior brother was holding, then turned around and looked into the bamboo basket.

As a disciple who specializes in learning beast taming, how could he not understand the value of the top-grade beast-taming pill?

Not to mention the best quality, even the slightly lower quality beast-cultivating pills are rare treasures that are hard to come by.

You know, as a major beast-taming sect, their Hongfan Beast-taming Sect only has five top-grade beast-cultivating pills in stock, and they don't even have a single top-grade beast-cultivating pill.

Now, half a basket of top-grade beast-cultivating pills is right in front of him. It is something he could not even dream of.

"Both. Not only that, look at this pill again. It contains the rhyme of Taoism. It is not something that an ordinary alchemist can refine. If it is fed to a spirit beast, it will probably rise several levels."

"With so many, if we bring them back to the sect, Senior Brother, will you and I be promoted to elders directly?"

"More than that, with these top-grade beast-cultivating pills, all the spirit beasts in the sect can be upgraded, and the overall strength of the sect will be incomparable. But if you want to take these pills back, I'm afraid it's not that easy."

"What do you mean?" Ye Ni looked around. "Brother, I don't feel threatened around here. I can take these top-grade beast-cultivating pills away."

"Things are not as simple as you think. With so many top-grade beast-cultivating pills, do you think there will be no one guarding them?"

“But I really didn’t feel anything.”

"I don't feel any threat either. That doesn't mean there isn't any threat. It's just that you and I are at a low level."

"Brother, are you saying... there is a powerful person hiding here?"

The man nodded: "It's possible, but not certain. You and I have been here for such a long time without receiving any warning. There is also a possibility that the powerful man just went out, and now this is an empty cave."

"Brother, your idea is too risky. What if the great man doesn't leave?"

"He didn't leave. At most, we can apologize. Our Red Sail Beast Sect is also influential in this area. At most, we can ask our master to apologize on our behalf. Besides, if that powerful person wanted to take action, he would have done it long ago. There is no movement now. I am willing to believe the latter."

"But……"

"No buts, Junior Sister. This is a great opportunity for our Red Sail Beast Sect to rise, and it is also a chance for you and me to rise to prominence. Have you forgotten why our Master sent us out to train?"

"I didn't forget. Our spirit beasts were lost in the sect competition, so we had to go out and catch new spirit beasts."

"So, if we leave in such disgrace, not only will our master lose face, but you and I will also find it difficult to gain a foothold in the sect."

After hearing what her senior brother said, Ye Ni fell silent.

After a long while, he stomped his feet and said, "Brother, I'll listen to you. But what do you want me to do?"

"That's right. How to do it? Come closer and I'll tell you."
