Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

However, Ge Hong did not react. Instead, he remained immersed in the power of all things. Although there were plant-type spirit beasts that could revive plants, Ge Hong had never seen such a huge and large-scale revival of plants.

Ye Huasheng finally noticed the figure on the distant mountain, which seemed to be the Spirit Venerable.

The man spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but it clearly reached Ye Huasheng's ears.

"Child, now that you've arrived, follow me." He turned and left, not forgetting to leave a trace of his presence to guide Ye Huasheng.

Ye Huasheng left the still-thinking, stunned dean behind and silently followed.

After walking for a while, she finally saw an extremely ordinary-looking wooden house on the highest mountain. The house had a door open, as if welcoming her. Without hesitation, she walked straight into the wooden house.

Upon entering, the first thing you see is a person sitting at a table brewing tea.

Ye Huasheng approached and bowed in greeting:

"Greetings, sir." This bow was from Ye Huasheng's heart. In this world, who could not revere this top figure on the continent? After bowing, she raised her head, her posture upright. Reverence was indeed hers, but she also possessed the heart to become strong. Given time, she would become the strongest sooner or later.

The Spirit Lord was clearly very satisfied with her performance, and a hint of warmth appeared in his calm eyes.

"Humble yet confident, Feng Hua, you are quite good." If I had found it difficult to make a decision before not knowing her character, now it seems that perhaps I really can do it if I leave here.

"Sir, you are so complimentary."

"Sit down and have a cup of tea. Let me tell you about what happened yesterday."

"Also, my name is Wuchen." Everyone knows that the strongest academy has a founding spirit master, but no one knows his name. They usually only address him as "Master" or "Teacher". Now he has directly told Ye Huasheng his name, which is enough to show his sincerity and how he treats Ye Huasheng differently.

Ye Huasheng sat down, picked up his tea and took a sip, then listened to Wuchen Lingzun recount the events in detail. For a moment, only his voice could be heard in the room.

"The person you saw yesterday was an evil cultivator. So much time has passed that I've forgotten many things. I only know that the records say evil cultivators abandon the orthodox path of cultivation in order to take shortcuts and imitate the beast race. However, while the beast race can devour beast cores to level up, they kill people to take their hearts, then refine and swallow them using secret methods. Beginners can only take hearts, but after leveling up, they can devour not only hearts, but also flesh, blood, skin, and bone marrow, turning them into their own. Therefore, evil cultivators level up extremely quickly, but all they do is immoral and wicked, so they gradually lose their human form and become monsters."

"Even so, those who cultivate evil paths still flock to them, drawn by the allure of powerful strength. However, since I came to this continent, I have never seen an evil cultivator. There seems to be no trace of evil cultivators on this continent. Those who clamor that someone is cultivating evil arts are simply making mistakes because they are not practicing correctly. I don't know why the Ye family was able to summon evil cultivators that day. The Ye family, as the head of the four great families, has existed for longer than I have, so you may need to find the answer yourself."

"What I used on those witnesses yesterday was a secret technique. My consciousness briefly entered their minds and erased specific memories without leaving any side effects. This was the best method for them."

"That's how it is. Do you have any further questions? If not, you can go down the mountain on your own."

Wuchen had explained everything he needed to, but Ye Huasheng still had questions. As clever as she was, how could she not notice that Wuchen's attitude towards her was different from that towards others?

She looked firmly into Wuchen's eyes and spoke without hesitation:

"Sir, if I may be so bold, I have a question: with so many students admitted to the strongest academy, why was I brought here in particular? Is it merely because of my talent?"

Wu Chen looked at her serious expression and said with a wry smile, "There are some things you shouldn't know now. I'll tell you in detail when you reach the eighth level of Spirit King. Just know that when you become strong enough to advance to Spirit Venerable, there's something I need your help with. And this matter requires your help!"

The words "I can't live without you!" struck Ye Huasheng's heart like a hammer blow. She realized that this might be an opportunity for her!

"Sir! Since we share the same goal, please guide me!" This time, Ye Huasheng bowed respectfully.

Her goal is to become stronger, and his expectation is to wait for her to become stronger!

A gentle spiritual force lifted her up.

“Your talent is astonishing, your mental strength is extraordinary, and your bloodline is somewhat different. I really don’t have any suitable cultivation methods for you. The cultivation methods I know are excellent for outsiders, but they will limit you.”

"But setting aside cultivation techniques, you can learn those spiritual skills. You should know that every powerful cultivation technique was created by our ancestors. Since they could create them, why can't you forge a different path for yourself? If it were you, you definitely could!"

"Don't let preconceived notions bind your mind. I've seen the elemental power you used before, and I think you must have gained some insight. Your path is not wrong, and your thoughts are not wrong. Continue on, and you will surely embark on a path to heaven."

Hearing Wuchen calmly say these words, Ye Huasheng's eyes shone brightly. You know, which person who can create a cultivation technique is not a peerless master in the world? Wuchen has no reason to lie. Since he said she has this talent, then she can do it!

Wu Chen looked at Ye Huasheng with slight relief. It seemed she understood. However, there was one thing Wu Chen hadn't told her: the way she manifested elemental power to attack that day—that was something only a Spirit Venerable could do! Her future was limitless!

"The cloud-patterned glass pendant can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to help you cultivate. Ge Hong will accept you as a disciple, but only in name. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me anytime."

This means they want to take her as their apprentice!

Ye Huasheng's expression was solemn. She knelt down on both knees and bowed three times. Ye Huasheng had her own pride; she would not kneel to heaven or earth! But she could kneel before her teacher!

This is the ceremony for becoming an apprentice!

"Master."

"Alright, my good disciple. Now that I have accepted your courtesy, I will first teach you a set of movement techniques."

The words had barely left his mouth when Wuchen's figure appeared outside the door:

"This skill is called 'Ethereal'."

"What is real and what is not, what is true and what is false, seems to be right before our eyes, yet is far away, truly ethereal."

Wuchen's figure was like a shadow, his feet treading on the breeze. Although his gaze had been locked onto him, it was only a phantom image, while the real Wuchen was already several meters away. In a battle, he could teleport silently behind the enemy and deliver a surprise attack.

Ye Huasheng stared intently, afraid of missing a single step, while Wuchen finally stopped and returned to her.

"I just slowed down, did you see that?"

"See clearly."

"Then go down the mountain and practice diligently. Remember, practice makes perfect."

"Thank you, Master."
