After her senior sister was reborn, she actually became a powerful and arrogant protagonist?!

"lake?"

Within this Sword Lake Secret Realm, there is only one lake where sword energy crisscrosses.

Let Lancang live there...

When did my little gourd grow into a living Yama?

"By the way, Master, when that merman went berserk just now, I sensed the aura of the spiritual spring!"

"Although it was very faint and only lasted for a moment, I still felt it!"

Chu Luobai's expression hardened; she had previously guessed that the spiritual spring might be on Lan Cang.

After all, the Drunken Sword Immortal had already gone to the Western Sea, but still hadn't found it.

Based on the information left by the Sword Immortal, the spiritual spring is most likely on Lan Cang.

Moreover, Lancang himself is currently unable to activate it, or he may not even know that he possesses this spiritual spring.

Otherwise, he could not have remained at such a low level of cultivation after staying in the Myriad Spirits Secret Realm for so long.

“In the past life, after Lancang and Mu Yurou signed a contract, Mu Yurou, Xiao Xuancheng, and even the sect leader’s cultivation level improved rapidly in a short period of time.”

"It seems that this spiritual spring is probably related to Mu Yurou."

Chu Luobai kept thinking to herself. All she knew was that Mu Yurou and Lancang got together in the back mountain.

But the exact time is unknown...

"Aww."

Suddenly, I felt a soft touch on my face.

Chu Luobai came to her senses and saw a giant beast head in front of her.

Seemingly having finally let down his guard, Cheng Huang actually took the initiative to come over and nuzzle Chu Luobai.

"How's your recovery going?"

Reaching out to stroke the furry animal head, the texture felt far better than I had imagined.

After the alliance is formed, Chu Luobai can voluntarily transfer the spiritual power within her body to Chenghuang so that it can heal its injuries.

Therefore, she did not use her full strength when fighting Xiao Xuancheng in the Myriad Spirits Secret Realm.

Now, thanks to her spiritual power, Cheng Huang has almost fully recovered.

"Ouch."

Cheng Huang nuzzled Chu Luobai's hand and made a soft chirping sound.

"Master, it says it wants you to give it a name."

Hearing what Hulu said, Chu Luobai was slightly taken aback.

Alliance contracts differ from other contracts in that they offer a great deal of flexibility.

After some cultivators form this contract with a spirit beast, the spirit beast may only come to their aid when the cultivator is in a life-or-death situation.

Some will stand with the cultivators through thick and thin, supporting each other.

Chu Luobai's only thought was to make up for the regrets of her previous life and save Cheng Huang.

We'll find an opportunity to release Chenghuang back into the wild in the future.

Unexpectedly, by sheer coincidence, he actually gained Cheng Huang's approval.

"A name..."

Chu Luobai didn't think she had any talent for naming things. She had secretly slipped a note into her master's secluded cave and asked him to help her name Jiang Yuzhe.

Looking at the large, furry monster that kept rubbing against him, two words suddenly popped into Chu Luobai's mind.

"Cloud Hidden..."

"Legend has it that you are a constant companion of immortals, often traveling among the clouds and mist at the edge of the sky."

"How about I call you Cloud Hermit from now on?"

"Ouch."

Cheng Huang happily circled around Chu Luobai, its tall, fluffy body enveloping Chu Luobai completely.

After playing around for a while, Yunyin brought his head close to Chu Luobai's, their foreheads touching.

An electric shock-like sensation spread throughout Chu Luobai's body.

Then, a surge of spiritual energy poured into her spiritual sea, churning along with the original spiritual energy.

Chu Luobai had no time to think and quickly sat down cross-legged to begin circulating her spiritual energy.

The surging spiritual energy continuously washed over his meridians, and his spiritual sea was gradually expanding.

Yun Yin yawned, lay down on the spot, and surrounded Chu Luobai with his body.

Seeing this, Hulu leisurely lay down on Yunyin's body.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Luobai opened his eyes, and a powerful burst of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from his body.

"Middle stage of Hedao..."

I've advanced to the next level already?

Chu Luobai was dumbfounded. It seemed that his cultivation level was increasing a little bit too fast.

Yunyin and Hulu, who were not far away, noticed that Chu Luobai had woken up and hurriedly ran over.

"Master! You're awake!"

"Master, you've been sleeping for a long time!"

Two voices rang in Chu Luobai's ears at the same time, one of which was particularly unfamiliar.

"Kumikage?"

Chu Luobai asked tentatively.

"I am the master!"

Upon receiving Chu Luobai's response, Yunyin happily nestled the enormous beast head into Chu Luobai's arms.

"What's going on?"

Chu Luobai was bewildered; having lived two lifetimes, this was the first time she had ever known that spirit beasts could speak.

Once a cultivator and their sworn spirit beast reach a certain level of understanding, they can indeed communicate telepathically.

But no cultivator has ever claimed to be able to communicate with spirit beasts.

"Master, Yunyin and I have discovered that the spiritual energy in this Sword Lake Blessed Land is perfectly compatible with it!"

"With the help of the spiritual energy here, it can communicate directly with you!"

Hulu, with a look of eager praise on his face, walked around to Chu Luobai.

"The blessed land actually has this function."

Blessed lands are rare, and records of them are extremely scarce.

Although Chu Luobai had read many related books, he had never read such a record.

It seems that you still have to have it yourself.

"By the way, Yunyin, was it you who transferred the spiritual energy to me before?"

Chu Luobai had a vague guess in his heart.

"Yes Master."

Yun Yin gently bit Chu Luobai's sleeve and led her to his own den.

It indicated that its child was about to hatch and that it would devote all its energy to caring for the child, but could not protect Chu Luobai.

Therefore, he voluntarily transferred his spiritual power to Chu Luobai.

This is equivalent to Chu Luobai gaining the approval of his contracted spirit beast, and in the future, as the spirit beast's cultivation level increases, it will also boost Chu Luobai's own cultivation level.

This is why some cultivators raise a spirit beast from a young age.

After all, compared to spirit beasts that are formed alliances later in life, spirit beasts that have been raised by oneself from a young age are more approachable and easier to gain recognition from.

"Alright, then you can stay in this blessed land and recuperate during this time."

After pondering for a moment, Chu Luobai decided to transplant all the spiritual herbs from the Spirit Herb Garden.

Although innate spirit beasts like Yunyin have reached the point where they can survive by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth,

However, the internal injuries it suffered from forcibly undergoing the tribulation have not yet healed, and it still needs the assistance of spiritual herbs.

In addition, the Sword Immortal had previously reminded him that this Sword Lake Blessed Land was very suitable for planting spiritual herbs.

In the future, advancing to the Mahayana stage will inevitably require the assistance of various elixirs, so it's good to prepare some in advance.

After instructing Hulu to take good care of Yunyin, Chu Luobai left the blessed land alone and returned to the bamboo house.

"I forgot to ask the gourd how long it had been cultivating."

The life of a cultivator is long; ten days or half a month is considered short when they start cultivating.

As soon as I pushed open the door of the bamboo house, I saw Qiu Lin pacing anxiously outside.

Upon seeing Chu Luobai, Qiu Lin paused for a second, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Senior sister! You're finally back!"

"What's going on now?"

Chu Luobai inwardly sighed, realizing that something was wrong; if Qiu Lin was in such a hurry, it couldn't be anything good.

My mind subconsciously conjured up images of Xiao Xuancheng and Mu Yurou.
