Beast Taming Star Journey

The old man, with his white hair and youthful face, walked with a steady gait. Despite the noisy crowd, his approach carried an eerie silence, as if the whole world held its breath for him. He wore a simple gray robe, devoid of any patterns or decorations, yet it exuded an inexplicable sense of authority. He walked straight up to me, his cloudy eyes gleaming with a sharp light, as if he could see right through me.

“Young man,” his voice was deep and powerful, carrying the weight of years, “your name is Nong Yu?”

I paused for a moment, then nodded instinctively. A hush fell over the room; everyone held their breath, waiting for the old man to continue.

Young Master Li and the Li family patriarch exchanged glances, clearly somewhat wary of the suddenly appearing old man.

"Your beast-taming ability is quite unique."

The old man continued, his gaze falling on the Howling Moon Wolf beside me.

Sensing the old man's gaze, the Howling Moon Wolf let out a low growl, its fur standing on end, clearly wary of the old man.

A chill ran through me; the old man's words made me realize that he was no ordinary person.

He immediately recognized the uniqueness of my beast-taming ability, something that not everyone can do.

"who are you?"

The Li family patriarch finally couldn't help but ask, his tone tinged with hostility.

He walked up to the old man, trying to block the old man's view of me, and said, "This is a matter for our Li family, and outsiders should not interfere."

The old man ignored the Li family patriarch; his gaze remained fixed on me, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"The Li family? Hmph!"

The old man snorted, his tone full of disdain, "The mere Li family dares to act wildly here?"

The Li family patriarch's expression changed, and he flew into a rage: "You..."

He was about to lash out when the old man gently waved his sleeve.

An invisible force instantly knocked the Li family patriarch back several steps. He staggered a few times before barely managing to stand, his face filled with shock and fear.

The surrounding crowd was immediately in an uproar. No one expected that this seemingly ordinary old man would possess such great strength.

The Li family patriarch was a master of beast taming, yet he was so easily defeated by the old man. Just how powerful was this old man?

I was deeply shocked, but at the same time, a glimmer of hope ignited within me. Perhaps the appearance of this old man would change my destiny.

The old man slowly turned around and looked at me again, his eyes filled with a hint of appreciation and encouragement.

"Young man, I have high hopes for you."

He paused, then said, word by word, "Your journey of beast taming has only just begun."

He reached out and handed me an antique jade pendant.

"Take this."

He said, "It will guide you in the right direction."

I took the jade pendant; it felt warm and smooth to the touch, and a strange energy slowly flowed into my body.

Before I could fully appreciate this energy, the old man suddenly looked into the distance, his gaze sharpening.

"Hmph, here they come..."

He spoke in a low voice, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity... The old man casually waved his sleeve, and the Li family patriarch was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The surrounding crowd erupted in uproar, retreating in fear as they stared at the unfathomable old man.

The Li family patriarch was a master of beast taming and a prominent figure in Qingyun City, yet he was defeated so easily. The old man's strength was simply unimaginable.

An indescribable excitement welled up inside me, and a warm current flowed from the bottom of my heart to my whole body.

The appearance of this old man was like a ray of sunshine cast into the abyss of my despair, allowing me to see the dawn of hope.

Seeing his father knocked down, Young Master Li was instantly enraged. He drew his long sword from his waist, pointed it at the old man, and shouted fiercely, "Old man, you dare to hurt my father? I'll kill you!"

He made a move to rush forward, but was pulled back by the Li family patriarch.

"stop!"

The Li family patriarch was pale, his eyes filled with apprehension. "You are no match for him."

Although Young Master Li was arrogant and domineering, he was not a fool. Seeing how much his father feared the old man, he realized that he was no match for him, so he reluctantly sheathed his sword, but his eyes were still full of resentment.

The old man glanced at the Li family father and son, and snorted coldly: "The mere Li family dares to act wildly here? I will not pursue this matter today, but if there is a next time, don't blame me for being impolite!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that intimidated everyone present. The Li family father and son fell silent, daring not to utter another word.

The old man turned his gaze to me again, a hint of admiration in his eyes: "Young man, I have high hopes for you. Your journey of beast taming has only just begun."

As he spoke, he handed me the jade pendant, saying, "Take this; it will guide you in the right direction."

I took the jade pendant; it felt warm and smooth to the touch. A strange energy slowly flowed into my body, as if cleansing my meridians, making me feel incredibly comfortable.

Before I could fully appreciate the energy, the old man took out an ancient book from his sleeve and handed it to me: "This book contains some cultivation secrets that may be helpful to you."

I accepted the book with both hands, my heart filled with gratitude. I knew that this old man had not only saved me, but also given me a chance to change my destiny.

After the old man finished doing all this, he looked into the distance again, his gaze becoming sharp.

"Hmph, here they come..."

He spoke in a low voice, his tone tinged with seriousness. Then, he vanished in a flash. I stood there, stunned, my mind filled with questions.

What did the old man mean by "came"? And where did he go? I gripped the jade pendant and the book tightly in my hands, a raging fire burning in my heart.

I knew this was my chance to turn things around, and I had to seize it! I took a deep breath and turned to walk towards my cultivation chamber.

Pushing open the door to the secret room, I eagerly opened the book the old man had given me. The writing on it was obscure and difficult to understand, like a book written in heaven.

But I understand that this contains immense power, the key to my escape from this predicament and my path to strength… I sat cross-legged, opened the book, and the first word that caught my eye was “break”…
