Chapter 128: Returning to Xi'an, Uninvited Guests!

Everyone was very puzzled: why did Luo Shuiyan bring back this egg that hadn't hatched for hundreds of years in the Spirit Beast Kingdom?

"No need to worry. The reason it didn't hatch before was simply because the powerful Spirit Beast that kept this egg didn't know the method to hatch it at all."

Luo Shuiyan said with a confident smile on her face.

The implication in her words was already very clear: an egg that the Spirit Beast Kingdom couldn't hatch, I can hatch.

A Spirit Beast that the Spirit Beast Kingdom couldn't raise, I can raise!

"However, although I can hatch this egg, it certainly isn't now."

"If you really want to capture this egg, at the very least, you must leave the Spirit Race's territory first."

Hearing these words from Luo Shuiyan, everyone finally reacted.

Right now, they were in the inner circle of the Canglan Mountain Range, and not even very far from that Ling Shou Chengchi.

If they leaked their aura at this moment, it would certainly attract powerful Spirit Beasts over.

Moreover, this egg that Luo Shuiyan brought back was no small matter; if it were hatched according to her method, it was very likely that strange phenomena would occur.

However, this egg hadn't successfully hatched for hundreds of years, so no Spirit Beast should discover it in the short term.

"Shui Yan, what should we do next? The Spirit Beast you were looking for for Xue'er should be this egg, right? Are we heading back now?"

"Let's go back. The goal for this time has already been achieved, and calculating the time, it should be about right."

Luo Shuiyan nodded lightly and said in a deep voice.

Although the Spiritual Qi in this Canglan Mountain Range was very dense, they couldn't stay in this inner area forever.

If they didn't leave by the stipulated time, powerful Spirit Beasts would take the initiative to expel them.

On the way back, the four of them all accelerated their speed and galloped along the way.

With no other incidents occurring, the return journey was much smoother.

After another half a month passed, Luo Shuiyan and the others finally left the vast Canglan Mountain Range and returned to the small town where they had first set foot.

The four of them had just appeared at the foot of the mountain when Li Yan, as if he had been waiting for a long time, came out to greet them with a face full of excitement.

"Hahahaha, you have finally returned. It seems the harvest during this period must be quite significant."

Seeing Li Yan, Luo Shuiyan and the others all had smiles on their faces.

It was clear that this Dean of the Tianque had been paying attention to this side ever since they entered the Canglan Mountain Range.

Especially after experiencing the previous assassination by Yin Zhong, Li Yan almost didn't sleep, staring at the Canglan Mountain Range every day to see if there were any other movements.

And this Dean had accompanied them for several months, personally escorting them all the way from Xi'an Ancient City; it could truly be considered selfless.

"Come, come, come, let the Dean take a good look at what Spirit Beasts you have contracted in the Canglan Mountain Range?"

A Beast Tamer's strength is inseparable from their Spirit Beast.

The stronger the bloodline of the Spirit Beast, the stronger the strength will be, and the higher the cultivation limit it will bring to the Beast Tamer.

It could be said that if someone's initially contracted Spirit Beast didn't have a strong bloodline, then this Canglan Mountain Range was the moment to rewrite their destiny.

Furthermore, Li Yan could tell that Luo Shuiyan was by no means just a simple student.

Entering Canglan Mountain this time, it was very likely that she had gained a great harvest.

Seeing these three powerful Spirit Beasts appear on the scene, Li Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

One could tell just by looking at these Spirit Beasts that they were extraordinary.

"This black dog, I didn't expect it to actually be a Howling Celestial Hound. With such a bloodline, it might even grow into a Legendary-Level Spirit Beast in the future. Xiaoxiao, it seems your luck is truly good!"

Li Yan didn't expect that a black dog that looked somewhat ordinary would actually be of the Howling Celestial Hound clan.

And when he turned his head to look at the Flash-Thunder Bird beside Yi Zimeng, which was flickering with golden lightning all over its body, his eyes widened even further.

"This! This is actually a Flash-Thunder Bird?!"

"This is a very precious lightning-attribute Spirit Beast; even the royal family of Da Qi would find it difficult to find a pure-blooded Flash-Thunder Bird now!"

Li Yan's heart was thumping wildly; he didn't expect that Luo Shuiyan's group could even contract a rare spirit bird like a Flash-Thunder Bird.

However, what attracted his attention the most was the Scarlet Flame Luan Bird above Luo Shuiyan's head.

"What a miraculous fire-attribute flying Spirit Beast. Why do I feel like I've seen this Spirit Beast's appearance somewhere before?"

After Li Yan pondered slightly, his heart accelerated.

"This... isn't this the extinct Scarlet Flame Luan Bird?!"

"Ahem, we were just lucky and happened to run into it." At this moment, Li Yan's excited appearance made Luo Shuiyan feel a bit embarrassed.

Hearing these words from Luo Shuiyan, Li Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

To be able to contract even this kind of extinct Spirit Beast, this was probably no longer just a matter of luck...

However, this was, after all, the fortuitous encounter of Luo Shuiyan and the others, so Li Yan didn't ask further.

"Eh, Lin Xueer, where is your new Spirit Beast?"

Li Yan asked with some surprise.

The group's Spirit Beasts were not kept in their Beast Taming Space, but beside Lin Xueer, there was only that previous silver eagle, with no second Spirit Beast.

This made Li Yan suspect whether something had happened that caused Lin Xueer not to sign a contract.

One had to know that among the four, Lin Xueer had the weakest Spirit Beast bloodline.

This trip to Canglan Mountain was crucial for Lin Xueer.

"Don't worry, Dean. I do have a Spirit Beast, but I can't take it out right now."

Lin Xueer felt Li Yan's concern and immediately smiled.

Although they had already left the Canglan Mountain Range, they were still located in the border area of the Spirit Beast Kingdom.

For the sake of safety, it was better not to take out that cyan egg.

Otherwise, their small town probably wouldn't be enough for those powerful Spirit Beasts to vent their anger...

Because they set off for Fengling Cheng, Luo Shuiyan and the others were delayed for some time.

Hushi and the others from the Xiaotian Sect had long since returned to the small town, and at this moment, they walked over one after another to chat with Hu Xiaoxiao.

"The Xiaotian Tiger, the Howling Celestial Dog, and then you, the daughter of the Xiaotian Sect—Xiaoxiao, the Spirit Beasts you have contracted are truly marvelous."

Regarding the second Spirit Beast that Hu Xiaoxiao had contracted, Hushi and the others were full of praise.

Although Xiao Hei looked no different from a large black dog.

Inside its body, however, it was the genuine bloodline of the Howling Celestial Dog clan that flowed.

After briefly catching up, the group parted ways once again.

Luo Shuiyan handed those identity tokens back to Marshal Wei Long, and then immediately set off on the return journey.

On the long-distance train back to the academy, Jiang Che, having been through so much for such a long time, was finally able to rest peacefully.

Not long after, he lay on Luo Shuiyan's lap and fell into a deep sleep.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100,000 'lying flat' experience points..."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for leveling up!"

Following the train's arrival at the Xi'an Ancient City, Jiang Che also slowly woke up.

The system's notification sound rang in his ears once again.

After this period of accumulation, Jiang Che's strength had successfully broken through to level fifty-seven.

"It is actually the extinct Red Flame Luan Bird! Truly excellent!"

Just as Luo Shuiyan and her party arrived at the Xi'an Ancient City, the figure of Elder Guo appeared in the sky.

Looking at Luo Shuiyan's new Spirit Beast, Elder Guo revealed a gratified smile.

After bidding farewell to Li Yan, Luo Shuiyan and her party returned to the villa; nowadays, they could be considered a powerful force within this Xi'an Ancient City.

Among the many Xi'an noble families, it was already difficult to find any experts capable of rivaling them.

And the glorious deeds of Luo Shuiyan and the others at the Hundred Schools League were spreading wildly throughout the Great Jin Dynasty.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

"Someone is coming!"

Jiang Che sensed that a Nine-Star Venerable old monster was approaching this side.

At the same time, Elder Guo also appeared in the sky above the villa.

The two seemed to be old acquaintances, and were conversing together.
