Several days passed in a row.

Lin Yitang still couldn't find an opportunity for real combat.

These little chickens are really driving her crazy!

Although they were chickens, they were exceptionally cunning, often taking advantage of Lin Yitang's unpreparedness to flap their wings and fly out of the animal shed. Lin Yitang had to spend a great deal of energy every day to prevent them from escaping.

On one occasion, several spirit chickens scattered spirit rice all over the ground in the animal shed, causing a commotion among the other spirit beasts. Lin Yitang had no choice but to appease the spirit beasts and clean up the mess.

One day, a pheasant pecked Lin Yitang's arm. Although the wound wasn't deep, it still caused her to bleed profusely. Lin Yitang was furious, but there was nothing she could do.

These spirit chickens seemed to be able to sense Lin Yitang's emotions, and whenever she was upset, they would intensify their antics. Lin Yitang sometimes even suspected that these spirit chickens were deliberately trying to antagonize her.

What troubled her even more was that her cultivation had almost come to a standstill because she had to keep an eye on these spirit chickens at all times. She tried to meditate and cultivate between feeding the chickens, but she would often be awakened by the noise of the spirit chickens as soon as she entered a meditative state.

Lin Yitang began to miss her days at Lingcao Peak. Although the tasks were simple then, at least she could cultivate in peace. Now, she felt like a nanny trapped in a beast shed, having to outwit and outmaneuver these chickens every day.

Fortunately, during these days, she took the time to practice the secret manual that the elder of Spirit Herb Peak had given her last time.

The cultivation technique was called "Birth-Inducing Technique," and it turned out to be a high-level wood-type technique, one of the advanced five-element spells.

Lin Yitang had read about it in novels; the growth-inducing technique was a method that could accelerate the growth of plants. As long as there was a seed and sufficient spiritual energy, the seed could quickly turn into a mature plant. Of course, plants with difficult growing conditions were not included; apart from rare and precious spiritual plants, most common spiritual plants could be instantly accelerated into growth.

Lin Yitang believes that this spell can not only be used to cultivate spiritual plants, but also play a role in actual combat. Among the basic five elements spells, there is the Wood Entangling Spell, which condenses spiritual energy into vines to entangle the opponent. The Growth Spell, on the other hand, directly induces the growth of plants, saving much more spiritual energy than the Wood Entangling Spell.

She asked Beast Taming Peak for some spirit rice seeds and tried to induce birth, which worked. So she persisted in practicing every day, and gradually, her birth-inducing technique became more and more proficient.

Lin Yitang secretly rejoiced that she could practice her magic while watching the chickens, otherwise she really didn't know how she would have gotten through the long time of feeding the chickens.

Just today, two more chickens escaped from her coop. She was chasing them in the woods, but they were incredibly agile, weaving left and right, making them very difficult to catch.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from Beast Taming Peak, with disciples' hurried footsteps and shouts rising and falling. Lin Yitang looked up and saw many figures on Beast Taming Peak, all rushing about with anxious expressions on their faces.

Puzzled, she quickly grabbed a passing disciple and asked, "What happened?"

The disciple, panting heavily, said urgently, "It's terrible! The guardian beast's cub is missing! It probably ran away on its own!"

Lin Yitang was taken aback. The guardian beast's cub was gone? What happened?

She quickly asked, "What do the guardian beast cubs look like? Why are they gone?"

The disciple shook her head, speaking rapidly: "The specifics are still unclear. All we know is that the guardian beast has been incubating its eggs in its nest, but recently, for some reason, the eggs hatched, and the little phoenix escaped. The sect has ordered us to find the little phoenix at all costs. If you see any spirit beast that resembles a phoenix, please inform us immediately, Senior Sister."

After saying this, the disciple hurriedly left, leaving Lin Yitang in deep thought.

Lin Yitang knew about guardian beasts of the mountains; she had read about them in novels she had read in her previous life. She also knew that in the original story, Ye Qiuli's contracted spirit beast was also a phoenix.

Once, the peak master of Danfu Peak gave Ye Qiuli a spirit beast egg. After the egg hatched, it was a pure-blooded phoenix. Could it be the cub of the mountain-guarding divine beast?

Lin Yitang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ye Qiuli was behind this too?

Since she made a decision different from the original female supporting character, agreeing to move from the inner sect to the outer sect, the plot has gradually become uncontrollable.

Ye Qiuli seems to have become more radical. Last time, she actually dared to steal the Seven-Colored Lingzhi and almost got caught. Fortunately, Chen Qi volunteered to take the blame, otherwise her path to immortality would have been ruined.

Her sudden appearance in the Taoist class also suggests that the female protagonist in the original work has a separate destiny trajectory and is no longer controlled by the plot.

No, it's also possible that her time travel altered the plot. Although Lin Yitang believes in 'everything happens for my benefit,' it's also possible that Ye Qiuli benefited, after all, she is the true chosen one of Heaven.

The differences between the plot of this half-year story and the book all have one thing in common: events that happen later in the story are brought forward.

Ye Qiuli went to the Taoist class several months later, and obtaining the Seven-Colored Lingzhi was also a later development. It seems that some unseen force was in a hurry, wanting Ye Qiuli to obtain these opportunities sooner.

The same goes for the phoenix. Even though there was still a long time before Ye Qiuli got the little phoenix, the phoenix egg suddenly broke. There must have been some kind of change in that.

Most importantly, how did Ye Qiuli learn about these opportunities?

Although she was the personal disciple of the Grand Elder and the Peak Master of Danfu Peak, and must have had more information than others, how did she know that these opportunities were hers?

Could it be that some expert guided Ye Qiuli to obtain it?

Lin Yitang shook her head, feeling that she was being somewhat delusional. Perhaps it was just the female lead's lucky aura.

Besides, the phoenix egg breaking hasn't even been confirmed as Ye Qiuli's doing yet; perhaps she's not even on Beast Taming Peak...

Just then, Lin Yitang caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye. Upon closer inspection, it really was Ye Qiuli.

She quickly waved and asked, "Senior Sister Ye, where are you going? Are you also here to do a mission at Beast Taming Peak?"

Ye Qiuli usually has a gentle and charming appearance, but at this moment she seemed a little impatient.

She also saw Lin Yitang, snorted coldly, and said without turning her head, "It's none of your business. Don't cause me any trouble!" After saying that, she hurriedly walked away.

Lin Yitang stood there, bewildered. What was wrong with Ye Qiuli? She usually acted like a pure and innocent lotus flower, but today she didn't even bother to pretend and just started cursing.

Moreover, judging from her hurried steps and glancing around, she seemed to be searching for something.

Upon further reflection, Lin Yitang understood. Ye Qiuli's unusual behavior must be related to that little phoenix.

She may have done something, but failed and mistakenly let the little phoenix go, which is why she came back to look for it.

In other words, Ye Qiuli should not have contracted with the little phoenix yet, and she still has a chance to catch up.
