I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Red Sail Beast Sect.

The first thing Gao Yuan and his junior sister Ye Ni did when they returned to the sect was to rush to their master's residence.

Of course, important intelligence in Hongfeng Mountain must be reported.

However, due to their low status in the sect, it would be best to inform the master first for his decision.

"Master!"

Leng Chanfeng was taming his contracted spirit beast when he was suddenly interrupted.

Even though he knew it was his apprentice who had returned, he still frowned with displeasure.

The animal he was training was a colorful-tailed eagle, which was three meters long and had colorful tail feathers. It was a rare flying beast.

Under his careful training, it has become a seventh-level monster. The strength of the early Nascent Soul stage is already a great help to him, and it is half a step away from the eighth level.

However, taking this half step is quite difficult and requires a lot of resources, energy, and a little bit of luck.

For Leng Chanfeng, the most important thing now is to concentrate on cultivating the colorful-tailed eagle.

"Why are you so flustered? You are useless!" Leng Chanfeng raised his eyelids slightly, "How many spiritual beasts did you bring back?"

The bloodlines of spiritual beasts are divided into grades, from grade one to grade nine. The larger the number, the better the bloodline and the greater the growth potential.

Above the ninth grade, they are divine beasts, and they can no longer be distinguished by simple grades. It is so complicated that even Xiao Ling and others, who are divine beasts, cannot explain it clearly.

"Master, no...no." Gao Yuan and Ye Ni lowered their heads at the same time, not daring to look up in shame.

"No rank? After catching a low-rank spirit beast, are you two slacking off?"

"Replying to Master, we didn't catch him."

"Didn't catch it?" Leng Chanfeng put the colorful-tailed eagle into the beast storage box. "This... there are no more spirit beasts out there? Or did you two never start looking for it?"

"No, Master, there is really a compelling reason..."

"Wait a minute, don't say anything, Disciple Gao Yuan. Master knows that you are very eloquent. Master, I want to hear what Ye Ni has to say."

Gao Yang's face turned pale after being suddenly interrupted. Although he was unwilling, he still obeyed his master's order and did not continue speaking.

"Master... Master, my brother and I discovered eleven ninth-level pig monsters."

"Ah... huh?" Leng Chanfeng suddenly sneered, "Yenni, Yeni, Master thought you would be more honest, but after hanging out with Gao Yuan for so long, you've also learned to lie. In order to cover up your laziness, you made up such an outrageous excuse."

Leng Chanfeng looked at his precious colorful-tailed eagle. If his sister's monster was so common, he wouldn't have to treasure this seventh-level colorful-tailed eagle so much.

"Eleven ninth-level pig demons. Did you two go to the demon world? Or did the demon world invade and you two encountered them? This is totally nonsense!"

Leng Chanfeng swung his sleeves angrily, and the strong wind that was accidentally blew up made the furniture in the room creak.

"No... no, Master, it is true. I saw it with my own eyes. It is at Red Maple Mountain. Master, you can go and verify it."

Seeing Leng Chanfeng getting angry, Ye Ni hurriedly explained sincerely.

"Master, I, Gao Yuan, can swear to heaven to prove that what my junior sister said is true." Gao Yuan quickly added.

At this juncture, the two are tied to the same rope. In order to avoid being punished by his master, Gao Yang can only trust his junior sister Ye Ni unconditionally.

"Oh? Seeing that both of you said so, I will give you a chance to tell me the details of the Red Maple Mountain. If you tell me even a single lie, I will disregard the relationship between master and disciple."

"Understood, Junior Sister, you should tell Master everything you saw and heard in Red Maple Mountain."

"Master, this is what happened..."

……

Half an incense stick later, Leng Chanfeng nodded.

"From what you described, it doesn't sound like you're lying, but the matter is too bizarre. I still need to verify it before I can make a final decision... There are ninth-level pig monsters, and giant pig monsters at the demon king level. Each one is bigger than the other, and we can't be careless."

"Master, if the verification is true, then my sister and I won't be punished for not catching the spirit beast?" Gao Yuan said hurriedly, seeing that Master seemed to believe it a little.

"That's wishful thinking. One thing is one thing. You two didn't catch the spirit beast, so you will be punished as much as you deserve. However, if there really is a ninth-level pig demon or demon king, the sect will give you two a reward as well."

"Can't you use your merits to offset some of your mistakes?" Gao Yuan said angrily.

"Don't negotiate with me. I will punish you two to clean the Beast Garden for a month!"

Hearing that he was only to clean the Beast Taming Garden, which was the lightest punishment in the Red Sail Beast Sect, Gao Yuan instantly lost the idea of ​​continuing to talk back: "Thank you, Master."

Ye Ni also bowed at the same time: "Thank you for the punishment, Master."

"Alright, the news you two reported is too important. I have to go and discuss it with the sect master. I will ask you one last time. Are you sure there is only one mortal there? There are no other cultivators?"

"It is certain that there is only the aura of that one mortal, but I suspect that there should be a powerful being behind him, but he is not here at the moment."

"wrong."

"Master... Master, every word I say is true and I would never tell a lie." Gao Yuan was a little nervous after being suddenly refuted.

“Master, I am not saying that you are lying, but your guess is wrong. He is able to keep more than a dozen innate perfect pig monsters, and even a monster king level. He is definitely not an ordinary person. It is impossible for him to leave a mortal to guard the cave.

That mortal is actually the so-called great power!"

"How could it be? Master, I have used a technique to detect realms before to scan..."

"Heh..." Leng Chanfeng interrupted Gao Yuan with a laugh before he could finish. "Gao Yuan, you are just too confident, even to the point of being conceited. You will suffer. What realm are you in? Go and build your foundation. I've already said that he is a great power. If he wants to hide his strength, can you see through it?"

"This..." Gao Yuan fell into deep thought...it seemed to be the case.

"So what Master means is... that mortal is not ordinary?"

"It's highly likely. Nothing is absolute. I'll know after I go find out."

"Are we going now? Didn't Master say that he wanted to consult with the Sect Master?"

"The teacher has changed his mind!"

After saying that, Leng Chanfeng flew up on his sword and disappeared into the sky.

Gao Yuan and Ye Ni were left with envious looks on their faces.

"Brother, when do you think we can fly with swords like Master?"

"If you want to catch up with Master's realm, that's difficult. After all, Master is in the Nascent Soul stage. But if you want to fly with a sword, you don't have to be in the Nascent Soul stage. You just need to be in the Golden Core stage. Why are you talking about this? This is not something we should consider. It's more important to go to the Beast Control Garden to clean up."

Shaking his head, Gao Yuan walked out of the room.

Everyone had left, so Ye Ni could only keep up.

……

early morning.

Following Mo Xuyang's instructions, Yuan Feng got up early in the morning to collect dew. After working for a while, he finally managed to collect a bowl of dew.

"Huh~ Collecting dew is really tiring and freezing my hands."

The morning sun shone on the back of Yuan Feng's hands, driving away the coldness from his hands.

After returning to the courtyard and clearing out a small space, Yuan Feng sat down cross-legged on the spot.

"My free master is really something. He only stayed with me for one night and then he said he had to go out to look for opportunities. He didn't even accompany me for something as important as taking the Supreme Dragon Marrow."

Yuan Feng complained, but he didn't feel much resentment in his heart.

For him, he traveled back in time to when the original owner was eight years old. At that time, both his parents had passed away, and he was used to being alone. If his master was around, he would feel a little uncomfortable.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Feng looked down at the Supreme Dragon Marrow. The golden light shot into his eyes, making him stunned for a moment.

"it's beautiful."

I looked again and saw that the dew on the side was gently rippling in the bowl due to the shaking of my hands. The water was so clear that I could see the bottom of the bowl. It was obviously good water.

Yuan Feng swallowed and suppressed the tension in his heart.

It's impossible to say that I'm not nervous. It's been nearly seven years since I traveled through time, and I finally have the chance to practice cultivation.

He was more nervous than ever at this moment.

This is a rare opportunity. If I fail, I don’t know if I will have another chance to practice cultivation in this life.

In fact, Yuan Feng was a little too worried. If he really failed, the six pairs of eyes behind him would be the first to disagree and would definitely try their best to make him embark on the path of cultivating immortals.

"Hey, Daya, stop pushing me. I'm getting stink." In the cowshed, Xiao Ling half poked her head out, secretly glanced at Yuan Feng, and reached out to push Daya aside.

"What are you talking about? I am protected by spiritual energy, and I don't stink."

"Say less, it's bad to disturb the master." Even at this time, Lei Niang had to go out and mediate.

Under the watchful eyes of the three sacred beasts, Yuan Feng finally swallowed the Supreme Dragon Marrow, closed his eyes and began to meditate.

"Why is there no movement? Could it be a fake?" Daya finally managed to squeeze out the question.

With a "slap" sound, Xiao Ling slapped him back: "You are the fake, your whole family is fake, that was given to me by Tuntian."

"So what if it was given by Tuntian..."

"Hmm?" A soft voice came from the corner of the cowshed: "Hmm." Da Ya felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and his whole body was trembling.

He was so focused on looking at his master that he forgot about Tuntian in the corner. Da Ya secretly thought that he was negligent.

"What's wrong with what I gave you?" Tuntian lay on the ground and raised his eyes lazily.

"No...nothing. Big Brother Tuntian's goods are the best."

"Good to know. If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that I will tear your pig mouth apart!"

"Xiao Tun~" Xiao Ling turned around and said to Tun Tian, ​​"Can you speak more gently? For example, we had a hard time finding that old Taoist priest last night, but you scared him away with just your intimidation."

"Can you blame me for that? He was the one who treated me like a dog first. Besides, I just glared at him. Who knew he was so vulnerable to glares and ran away? No, why did you call me Xiaotun?"

"You can call me whatever you want. Before your master gives you a name, I can call you a puppy."

"you dare!"

"puppy."

"you!"

"Stop making noise, the master is starting!"

Following Lei Niang's exclamation, Xiao Ling and Daya turned their heads at the same time.

Even Tuntian, who was lying on the ground, tilted his head and looked over there.

He didn't need to stand up, he was born with the ability to see through things.
