~22 min read 4,366 words

Seeing that He Wuyou did not want to stay, Li Mu did not force him. Together with Bai Yuxian, he cupped his hands in farewell and soon witnessed his departure from "Mount Guyang."

After seeing off the distinguished guest, Li Mu and Bai Yuxian came to Song Qingming and the others, and brought everyone to the "Carefree Hall," where the sect discussed matters not far away.

Now that Bai Yuxian had successfully passed the tribulation and reached the Nascent Soul realm, she no longer needed to sit in the lower seats with Song Qingming and the others, but sat in the center of the hall together with Li Mu.

In the lower seats were the many Golden Core Elders of the "Carefree Sect," including Li Xianyun and Zhou Ziyang, who had come to help, also sitting to the side.

"Since the Master passed away six hundred years ago, the sect has been handed over to me. All these years, I have been walking on thin ice, fearing that I would be unable to guard the foundation laid by the ancestors over these thousands of years. Now, fortunately, Junior Sister Bai has condensed the Nascent Soul, and the sect finally has successors, and there is someone who can help me share some of the heavy responsibilities.

From today on, Junior Sister Bai will serve as the Supreme Elder of the sect, just like me. In the future, when I am not in the sect, Junior Sister Bai can make decisions on all matters, big or small.

As for the affairs of the Sect Master, they will be temporarily handled by Ziyan and Wutong together. We will discuss it with everyone after confirming a suitable candidate in the future!"

Just after Li Mu finished speaking, Song Qingming and the other "Carefree Sect" Elders hurriedly stood up and bowed to Bai Yuxian.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"

Seeing this, Bai Yuxian hurriedly stood up and nodded to indicate, then waved her hand at the crowd, letting everyone sit back down.

Just after Li Mu announced the appointment of Bai Yuxian, he opened his mouth again to Li Xianyun and Zhou Ziyang to the side: "The two of you came to our sect to help protect the Dao as promised, and you have done our sect a favor.

Next, please do not be in a hurry to leave. Stay in the sect for a few days; our sect has some small gifts to offer, and I hope you will not mind."

"Thank you, Senior Li!" Li Xianyun and Zhou Ziyang, upon hearing this, hurriedly stood up with a smile and cupped their hands in thanks.

The reason they came to help this time was not just to protect the Dao; they had also received some promises from the "Carefree Sect." Hearing that Li Mu was about to fulfill his promises to them, both of them felt a surge of joy.

After cupping their hands in thanks, the two of them left the "Carefree Hall" with Xu Ziyan, the Elder of the General Affairs Hall, and went to the sect’s Guest Peak to rest.

After the two outsiders, Li Xianyun and his companion, left, Li Mu discussed with the crowd and decided to hold a "Nascent Soul Celebration" for Bai Yuxian, who had just condensed the Nascent Soul.

Regarding this, Bai Yuxian, who had never liked such empty rituals, originally wanted to decline, but Li Mu was very insistent, and Song Qingming and the others below were also very supportive, so in the end, she could only nod and follow everyone’s wishes.

However, now that she had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and still needed a period of time to stabilize her cultivation, the time for Bai Yuxian’s "Nascent Soul Celebration" was set for one year later.

Learning that the sect was going to hold a "Nascent Soul Celebration," a once-in-a-millennium event, the crowd in the hall was very expectant.

Now that Bai Yuxian had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm and the sect had two Nascent Soul cultivators, the status of the "Carefree Sect" in the cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range would inevitably be greatly enhanced, and the sect would also usher in a better opportunity for development.

All the Golden Core Elders present were people who had shared weal and woe with the sect, and everyone knew in their hearts that after the sect developed and grew stronger, these people would also benefit more or less.

After the crowd discussed in the hall, Li Mu gave a few more instructions to Song Qingming and Zhang Tieyang, telling them to be careful and pay attention to the movements of the demon beasts in the north after they returned.

Although Bai Yuxian’s breakthrough to the Nascent Soul realm had put huge pressure on the demon race in the north,

the entire cultivation world of the Floating Cloud Mountain Range was, after all, stronger in demon beast power than the human side. If the "Ink Dragon Demon Emperor" found some reinforcements from elsewhere, and they were negligent in their defense, they would certainly let the demon race take advantage of the situation.

After Song Qingming nodded and agreed to a few points, seeing that Li Mu had no other matters, he and Huang Siyuan stood up to bid farewell, preparing to return to "Mount Funiu" first.

Because the entire Mount Guyang was sealed off when Bai Yuxian was undergoing the tribulation, Song Qingming and his companion had never received any news from the outside.

Now, having left the family territory for more than a month, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan were also a bit worried about Song Qingyu, who was guarding "White Lion Ridge" alone, and wanted to go back quickly to see.

After leaving the "Carefree Hall," Song Qingming had just taken out the "Phantom Boat" and was about to get on it with Huang Siyuan, when a voice suddenly came from behind them, causing the two to stop their footsteps.

"Senior Brother Song, Junior Sister Huang, please wait!"

Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan turned around and happened to see Xu Ziyan rushing toward them from not far away. After showing a hint of surprise, they hurriedly put away the "Phantom Boat" in front of them first.

"We just bid farewell to Senior Uncle Li and were about to go back. I wonder what else Junior Sister Xu is in such a hurry for?"

Xu Ziyan, who had just arrived beside Song Qingming and his companion, cupped her hands in return after hearing this, and then smiled and replied: "I am indeed in a hurry to find the two of you, but it is not that I have something, but that Senior Wind Ape wants to see you."

"Oh! Senior Wind Ape has something to find us? Does Junior Sister Xu know what it is?"

Hearing that it was Senior Wind Ape, the sect’s spirit beast, who wanted to see them, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan looked at each other, and a hint of confusion appeared on their faces at the same time.

Ever since the previous master passed away, this Senior Wind Ape in Xu Ziyan’s mouth had been living in the "Carefree Sect’s" Spirit Beast Garden.

Except for the great battle at "Guiyun Workshop" with the demon beast army decades ago, and this time when Bai Yuxian underwent the Nascent Soul tribulation lightning, Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had never seen the other party, and for a moment, they could not think of why that Senior Wind Ape would suddenly want to see them.

Seeing the confusion on their faces, Xu Ziyan immediately began to explain: "Please don't blame me, Senior Brother Song. I actually don't know why Senior Wind Ape wants to see you.

Just after seeing off Fellow Daoist Li and the others, the disciple in charge of the sect’s Spirit Beast Garden took me to see Senior Wind Ape.

I also just learned from Senior that he wanted to see you. As for what it is, Senior Wind Ape did not tell me, only asking me to bring you to see him alone."

"Since it is Senior Wind Ape’s invitation, how can we be negligent? Please lead the way, Junior Sister Xu!"

After thinking for a moment, Song Qingming still could not think of why this Senior Wind Ape, who never took the initiative to interact with the sect’s Elders, would want to see him, so he simply agreed, finding it difficult to dwell on it.

Anyway, the sect’s "Spirit Beast Garden" was not far from here. Whatever the other party was looking for him for, he would naturally know once he got there and saw that Senior Wind Ape.

Seeing Song Qingming agree, Huang Siyuan, who was standing beside him, did not say much, and followed behind the two, soon arriving together at a valley with dense forests located on the north side of "Mount Guyang."

Having joined the "Carefree Sect" for so many years, this was the first time Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan had come to the sect’s "Spirit Beast Garden."

After the two arrived here, they saw many spirit beasts raised by the sect along the way, and their eyes were immediately attracted, causing them to slow their pace a little.

Although the "Carefree Sect" was not a sect famous for beast taming, over thousands of years, the sect had also accumulated many techniques in beast taming, and in terms of raising spirit beasts, it was still much stronger than the ordinary Golden Core sects around it.

Although the sect currently did not have a third-level beast tamer, the accumulation of foundation in this area was still there. As long as they were willing to spend more time, they would certainly be able to cultivate another one.

The spirit beasts currently raised in the sect’s "Spirit Beast Garden," except for a portion used for sale, were basically companion spirit beasts for the sect’s Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples, and their cultivation was not high, only first or second level.

The only third-level spirit beast living here was the Wind Ape Demon King, who wanted to see Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan this time.

Following Xu Ziyan into the Spirit Herb Garden, the three walked about four or five miles in the valley and finally arrived at a pool, where they saw a green-armored ape that had been waiting there for a long time.

After bringing the two, Xu Ziyan immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the ape.

"Senior, these two are Senior Brother Song and Junior Sister Huang. The ones you told me to find should be them, right!"

The Wind Ape, staring with big eyes, swept a glance at Song Qingming, then set his gaze on Huang Siyuan, and then said directly to Xu Ziyan: "Hmm! Not bad, the one I am looking for is her. You two, if there is nothing else, go and wait to the side first!"

Seeing that the one the Wind Ape was looking for was actually Huang Siyuan, Song Qingming and Xu Ziyan were both a bit surprised. After looking at Huang Siyuan, who was also confused, the two chose to turn around and retreat to the side.

Just after Song Qingming and Huang Siyuan left, the Wind Ape immediately cast a spell to release a transparent protective shield to separate the two from the outside, and then asked: "That Red Flame Mouse that has already opened its intelligence is your spirit beast, right? Release it and let me see?"

"Is Senior talking about Red Flame?"

Hearing the Red Flame Mouse mentioned by the Wind Ape, Huang Siyuan immediately reacted, then patted the spirit beast bag at her waist and released Red Flame, who was entirely red, from inside.

After seeing Red Flame appear, a hint of excitement immediately appeared on the Wind Ape’s face, and then he stepped forward and locked his gaze tightly on Red Flame.

Red Flame, who had just run out of the spirit beast bag, was preparing to act spoiled to its master, Huang Siyuan, and ask for some delicious spirit pills, when it suddenly saw a huge ape not far away staring tightly at it.

Just as it wanted to step forward to teach the other party a lesson, it suddenly discovered that this ape’s strength was far above its own, and it was so scared that it immediately shrank behind Huang Siyuan. The Wind Ape, staring at Red Flame, saw that the other party was a bit afraid of it, and without caring about it, asked seriously: "What spiritual item did you eat to open your intelligence in advance?"

"What I ate has nothing to do with you, and I didn't snatch your things." Although Red Flame was very scared, upon hearing that the other party was asking about what it ate, it immediately opened its mouth and refused the other party.

Hearing Red Flame’s somewhat unhappy answer, there was no surprise on the Wind Ape’s face. He waved his hand and took out a red bead from his body, and said to "Red Flame":

"This is the Blazing Fire Bead that I have treasured for many years. If you swallow it, you will gain at least twenty years of cultivation. I will exchange it with you for some Ten Thousand Spirit Dew; you won't be at a loss!"

"It really is a Blazing Fire Bead!" Seeing the red sphere in the other party’s hand, it immediately showed a hint of greed with joy.

It was just that it did not have what the other party wanted, so "Red Flame" could only look at its master, Huang Siyuan, pitifully, its eyes full of hope that she would agree to the other party.

From the beginning when the Wind Ape suddenly wanted to see "Red Flame," Huang Siyuan did not know what his intention was. It was not until the other party mentioned that "Red Flame" had opened its intelligence in advance that Huang Siyuan knew that the Wind Ape was aiming for the white liquid that she and Song Qingming had found together back then.

In the previous battle to protect Bai Yuxian, Huang Siyuan had faced a Golden Core late-stage Great Demon King alone. Knowing that her strength was inferior to her opponent, she could only summon "Red Flame" to help, and only then did she barely block her opponent and persist until the end of the battle.

At that time, the Wind Ape, Song Qingming, Li Wutong, and others were forming an array to deal with the "Red Cloud Demon Emperor," and the battlefield was not far away. The difference between "Red Flame" and ordinary Demon Kings should have been seen by him at that time.

Unexpectedly, this Senior Wind Ape not only knew that "Red Flame" had opened its intelligence in advance by swallowing spiritual items, but also knew the name of that white spirit water, which made Huang Siyuan feel a bit surprised.

After thinking for a moment, Huang Siyuan still took out a small white jade bottle from her body and asked the Wind Ape directly: "Senior, is the Ten Thousand Spirit Dew you mentioned this item?"

Seeing the white porcelain bottle in Huang Siyuan’s hand, the Wind Ape was immediately overjoyed and nodded: "Not bad, what you are holding is the Ten Thousand Spirit Dew. Sure enough, you still have it on you. This time I am lucky to have actually run into it.

If you are willing, I will exchange some spirit water with you for the Blazing Fire Bead in my hand. Rest assured, the value of this thing is certainly no less than the bit of spirit water in your hand. Although I am of the demon race, there is no need to deceive you juniors."

Huang Siyuan heard this and nodded gently: "Senior Wind Ape, please forgive me. I was not worried that you would deceive me.

It is just that ever since I obtained this item, I have not known its use, only using it to feed this gluttonous spirit beast of mine. I hope Senior can clear up my confusion: what is the use of this Hundred Spirit Water, and will it leave any drawbacks after feeding it to the spirit beast? Please rest assured, Senior, if you can clear up my confusion, I can agree to exchange this bottle of spirit water with you, and I will absolutely not go back on my word."

"This Ten Thousand Spirit Dew is a rare item in the world, generally only born in a very small number of water-attribute high-level spirit veins. After we spirit beasts swallow it, not only do we have a chance to open our intelligence in advance, but we can also strengthen our physique and cultivation.

Just because this item has great wonderful uses for our demon race, no matter where it is born, it will attract Golden Core or even Nascent Soul experts of the demon race to snatch it, so very little of this kind of spirit water flows out.

I don't know where you got the luck to be able to find this item; for you, it can be considered a bit of an opportunity.

It is just that although this item is very useful to our demon race, it is of no use to your human race. You used it to feed this little guy and let it open its intelligence in advance, which was not a waste of this thing.

I know that you should have more than just this small bottle of Ten Thousand Spirit Dew on you. Why don't I make another deal with you! If you can give me two more bottles of spirit water, I can give you a secret method for refining Ten Thousand Spirit Dew. This secret method can help Golden Core spirit beasts break through their realm, which will also be of no small help to that little guy. You can consider it."

After the Wind Ape finished speaking, his gaze was locked on Huang Siyuan, who was thinking, his face full of confidence, as if he had already concluded that there must be more spirit water on her and that she would not refuse the conditions he proposed.

Sure enough, after some consideration, Huang Siyuan nodded directly and asked: "Senior, does this refining method have any requirements? The difficulty shouldn't be too high, right!"

"Rest assured, the refining of this method is not difficult. Hearing from that junior Ziyan, you are also a high-level alchemist, so for you, it is just an easy task."

After the Wind Ape finished speaking, he threw a very ancient animal skin toward Huang Siyuan.

Huang Siyuan took the animal skin and opened it to see that what was recorded inside was indeed the secret method for refining "Ten Thousand Spirit Dew" that the Wind Ape had just mentioned. After scanning it carefully and seeing that what was recorded inside was exactly the same as what the other party had said, she immediately put away the animal skin and nodded slightly to the other party.

Afterward, Huang Siyuan cast a spell to take out two bottles of the same "Ten Thousand Spirit Dew" and sent them together into the hands of the Wind Ape, who was already full of expectation.

"Senior, if you don't mind, I will keep this secret method first. Later, I will go to the Merit Pavilion to record it before returning it to you."

The Wind Ape, having obtained the "Ten Thousand Spirit Dew," had most of his attention already focused on the spirit water in his hand, and did not pay too much attention to the request Huang Siyuan proposed, nodding directly in agreement.

Seeing this, Huang Siyuan waved her hand to take "Red Flame" by her feet back into the spirit beast bag, then cupped her hands slightly to the Wind Ape and took the initiative to leave the sound-insulating shield he had set up.

Song Qingming, who was chatting with Xu Ziyan not far away, saw Huang Siyuan walking over with a smile and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "What exactly did Senior Wind Ape want to see you for? Has it been settled?"

Huang Siyuan nodded, looked at Xu Ziyan, who was also curious to the side, and replied softly: "Senior Wind Ape gave me a secret method and asked me to help refine a spiritual item. It has already been settled with him.

You wait here for me for a moment; I will go to the Merit Pavilion to find a vacant bamboo slip to record the secret recipe given by Senior, and I will be back in a while."

Hearing what Huang Siyuan said, Xu Ziyan to the side immediately took out a bamboo slip from her body and handed it over.

"I happen to have a vacant bamboo slip here. Junior Sister Huang doesn't need to go to the Merit Pavilion to be so troublesome. I wonder what kind of spiritual item Senior Wind Ape wants to refine? Can you tell me about it?"

Huang Siyuan, who took the bamboo slip, saw the curiosity on Xu Ziyan’s face and sighed slightly: "This item is just a spiritual item related to improving Senior’s cultivation.

However, Senior Wind Ape has said not to let me spread it, so please forgive me, Senior Sister Xu. If you have a chance in the future, you can ask Senior Wind Ape yourself; perhaps he will be willing to tell you, who knows."

"This... Hehe, you know Senior Wind Ape’s temper, Junior Sister. How would I dare to take the initiative to court disaster? I was just curious for a moment. Since Senior doesn't want others to know, then Junior Sister Huang should not tell anyone."

Xu Ziyan, upon hearing this, thought of that eccentric Senior Wind Ape not far away and immediately shook her head with a smile.

Huang Siyuan, who had obtained the vacant bamboo slip, spent a little time and soon recorded the secret method the Wind Ape had given her into the bamboo slip.

After returning the animal skin in her hand to the Wind Ape, Huang Siyuan took the initiative to bid farewell and left the sect’s "Spirit Beast Garden" together with Song Qingming and Xu Ziyan.

"Senior Brother Song, Junior Sister Huang, I still have some things to do, so I won't see you off. When you two have time to come again, we will have a good chat over tea."

After walking out of the "Spirit Beast Garden," Xu Ziyan, who had already accomplished her mission, immediately cupped her hands to bid farewell to the two.

After seeing Xu Ziyan off, Song Qingming directly took out the "Phantom Boat," brought Huang Siyuan along, and transformed into a ray of white light, soon passing through the mountain-protecting array and heading north.

After the flying boat had left "Mount Guyang" for a distance, Huang Siyuan took out the bamboo slip she had just recorded and handed it directly to Song Qingming, who was standing in front.

"Senior Wind Ape didn't let you tell others, why give this to me?" Seeing the bamboo slip in Huang Siyuan’s hand, Song Qingming recognized it at a glance and asked with some confusion.

Seeing this, Huang Siyuan chuckled and shook her head: "That’s because Senior Sister Xu was there just now, and there were some things I couldn't say easily. You will know why Senior Wind Ape wanted to find me after you read this."

Song Qingming took the bamboo slip and held it to his forehead, checking it carefully, only to find that it was a secret method for refining spirit water.

Before he could ask, Huang Siyuan immediately told Song Qingming everything that had happened after she met the Wind Ape in the sect’s "Spirit Beast Garden," including the deal she had made with the Wind Ape.

"Ten Thousand Spirit Dew, so this spirit water is called by this name."

After hearing Huang Siyuan’s explanation, Song Qingming could not help but shake his head with a smile: "I was really stupid. I only knew to ask human cultivators before, never thinking that demon cultivators might know more about this item than we do.

Three bottles of spirit water in exchange for this secret recipe for refining spirit water; you didn't suffer a loss in this deal with Senior Wind Ape. This time, I am going to benefit a little from you.

From now on, as long as we have enough spirit water, the cultivation of these spirit beasts in the family can be further improved by using this method once they reach the Golden Core stage, which can indeed improve their strength quite a bit.

It’s a pity that the spirit water can only be taken once after refining; it’s useless to take more, otherwise, the cultivation of these spirit beasts would soon catch up with us."

Song Qingming, holding the bamboo slip in his hand, felt a surge of joy after knowing the true use of "Ten Thousand Spirit Dew," and praised Huang Siyuan to the side.

"Whether it is for our human cultivators or demon cultivators, most of these spiritual items that can assist in breaking through cultivation have limitations. Otherwise, if one could advance rapidly just by swallowing spiritual items, who would be willing to sit down and cultivate hard.

Being able to obtain one this time is already good luck. Husband, you don't have to think about such beautiful things. Although the cultivation of these spirit beasts is not as good as ours, they can all be of help once they reach the Golden Core stage, so we don't have to demand too much of them."

As the two were talking, the "Phantom Boat" had slowly passed through ten thousand miles of mountains and rivers and arrived in Qinghe County.

Just as Song Qingming was controlling the flying boat to return to the family spirit land, the two standing on the flying boat saw from afar that the mountain-protecting array of "Mount Funiu" had already been activated, and a hint of surprise immediately appeared on their faces.
