Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Shanhe walked around the beast's abode and then emerged, secretly thinking he'd have to ask Deacon Liu for a storage bag. The stale spirit beast feces clearly couldn't be used as fertilizer for the spirit fields, but putting it in the storage bag wasn't a good idea, as he still needed to store food.

When Deacon Liu saw Zhao Shanhe, he asked, "Shanhe, how did you finish the cleaning so quickly? We have to clean it thoroughly."

Zhao Shanhe scratched his head and replied, "Sir Steward, I haven't started cleaning yet. I came here to borrow a storage bag from you."

Deacon Liu was quite generous. He casually took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhao Shanhe, saying, "Shanhe, this storage bag is for you. Don't store food and feces together in the future."

"Thank you, butler. I'll go clean up the beast's residence right away."

Deacon Liu felt very relieved as he watched Zhao Shanhe's departing back. It was a pity that his spiritual roots were too poor, otherwise he would definitely be a good candidate for cultivating immortality.

Zhao Shanhe returned to the beast dwelling, ready to get to work. He first collected the spirit beast feces, which could be used as fertilizer for the spiritual fields. Then, he collected the unused feces into the storage bag given by Deacon Liu. As he worked, he happily hummed the familiar song "Wash, Scratch, Scratch." In a matter of moments, he had transformed the once-cluttered beast dwelling into a tidy, clean, and brand-new place. Deacon Liu wouldn't find it faultless.

Zhao Shanhe was feeling particularly elated after completing his mission. Still humming a tune, he left the Beast Residence with a brisk pace, ready to seek out Deacon Liu to claim his reward and report back. However, halfway through his journey, he was suddenly blocked by a group of children. They appeared to be quite young, and their leader was a chubby little boy who arrogantly declared, "Zhao Shanhe, listen carefully! I am the eldest disciple of the current Spirit Beast Pavilion class—Tan Tai Mingzhu! If you know what's good for you, quickly tell me how to make the spirit beasts behave. Otherwise... hehe, don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhao Shanhe looked at the self-righteous little fat boy in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He thought to himself: Just a little kid like you, you want to threaten me?

"How could the eldest brother be like this? I'm afraid the second brother is more appropriate. My talent is not something you can imitate!"

The fat boy didn't grasp the deeper meaning behind Zhao Shanhe's words. Instead, he responded provocatively, "A mere person with five spiritual roots, yet you dare to boast of your talent and even try to usurp my position as Senior Brother? Are you relying on Tan Tai Yu Long's support? Fellow junior brothers, teach this ignorant brat a lesson! I'll take care of anything that happens."

Before he had finished speaking, the scene descended into chaos. Fists and kicks flew, palms whistled, and there was a chorus of weeping. In a matter of moments, a large group of people lay sprawled on the ground.

Although Zhao Shanhe couldn't practice martial arts techniques, his physical strength was terrifying, almost on par with masters of the Xiantian realm. And how could these young men, who had just entered the first level of Qi Refining and had yet to master magic, be his match?

Zhao Shanhe rode on Tan Tai Ming Zhu and said, "Little Fatty, do you accept it or not? Who sent you here?"

"Brother, I give in. No one sent me here. As long as you forgive me, I will introduce my sister to you as your wife."

"Little Fatty, you're so ugly, and your sister probably isn't much better looking either. I won't fall for it."

"Brother, my sister is the Qingniu Sect's number one genius, Tan Tai Mingyue. She's very beautiful. I'm not ugly either, just a little bulky."

Zhao Shanhe hadn't expected this little fat boy to be Tan Tai Ming Yue's brother. That meant he was the Sect Master's grandson. True, the land and water nurture two different people. He quickly got up from him and said angrily, "So it's my brother-in-law. How disrespectful! How could someone of your status have ended up in the Spirit Beast Pavilion, engaging in highway robbery?"

Tan Tai Ming Zhu was furious at the mention of this. He'd been doing well in the inner sect, but was suddenly banished to the outer sect. "It's all because of that damn Tan Tai Yu Lin, always looking for trouble. Otherwise, how could I have ended up in this hellish place like the Spirit Beast Pavilion? Oh, my handsome face!"

Zhao Shanhe felt a little embarrassed. Originally, Tan Tai Yuzhu only resembled his second senior brother in appearance, but now he was a true likeness. He quickly pulled out a string of candied haws from his storage bag.

"Tantai Yuzhu, I'd like to treat you to some candied haws and let's put today's events behind us. How about that?"

Tan Tai Ming Zhu took the candied haws and took a bite. He felt the pain in his body disappear. His figure showed that he was a foodie. He said, "Brother-in-law, this is the legendary candied haws. It's really delicious. I'll buy at least two strings."

Zhao Shanhe pulled another string from his storage bag. "No more bargaining! You're really Mingyue's brother, not an imposter, right?"

Tan Tai Yuzhu said helplessly: "I don't want to be her brother, but there is no other way. We are born to the same parents. She is a genius, and I am useless."

"How many spiritual roots do you have?"

"Four spiritual roots are only slightly better than your five spiritual roots."

Zhao Shanhe felt that this little fat boy was not good at speaking and was really talking about things that were not related to the topic.

"What's wrong with the five spiritual roots? I can still beat all of you down."

Tan Tai Yu Zhu said stubbornly, "If it weren't for the fact that fellow disciples can't use magic, you wouldn't necessarily be my opponent."

Zhao Shanhe condensed a small red fireball in his hand and said lightly, "Do you want to try it?"

Tan Tai Ming Zhu hadn't expected Zhao Shanhe's fireball technique to reach such proficiency. He waved his hands repeatedly and said hurriedly, "No need to try. From now on, you are the eldest senior brother of the Spirit Beast Pavilion, and I am the second senior brother."

Zhao Shanhe extinguished the fireball spell and said, "That's good enough. Follow me from now on, and I won't treat you unfairly."

"Brother-in-law, am I not your uncle?"

"That was just a joke. I'm going to go find Deacon Liu to hand in the task. Go get a Fiery Sheep. We can get together later, brothers."

"Big Brother, you plan to teach us how to tame spirit beasts. I want to ride a flying pig."

"That's a natural talent of mine, you can't learn it. Fiery sheep are meant to be eaten."

"Big Brother, you can also cook."

Zhao Shanhe smiled mysteriously and left without saying a word. He came to Deacon Liu.

"Sir Steward, the beast's quarters have been cleaned. Please inspect them and settle the accounts."

"Shanhe, I trust you to do your job. Here are 125 contribution points. I've transferred them to your disciple badge."

"Thank you, Deacon. I'm going back now. If you issue a mission to clean up the beast's residence, please let me know."

"Shanhe, a big shot has come to the Spirit Beast Pavilion. His name is Tan Tai Ming Zhu. Please be kind to him."

"understood."
