The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 618 Monster Clan

As the senior disciple, Zhu Yingying also raised her glass and said, "Thank you for your kind invitation, True Lord. May you always remain steadfast and have a smooth path to immortality!"

Xie Chang'an understood her unspoken meaning and smiled slightly: "I will certainly not let you down."

Zhu Yingying drank it all in one gulp with satisfaction.

Everyone raised their glasses.

The nectar of Jiuxiao Tower truly lived up to its reputation. The wine was fragrant and mellow, rich in spiritual energy. Upon tasting it, one could feel the lingering fragrance on the palate, and a surge of pure spiritual energy would immediately flow into the dantian, giving one a feeling of floating on air.

Jiang Li asked, dissatisfied, "Why do I only have half a cup?"

Xie Chang'an said gently, "You are still young. Although this wine tastes sweet, it has a strong aftereffect. You should not drink too much."

Yun Jiuzhong laughed and said, "True Lord is right, Lili, you can't drink too much, be careful not to get drunk."

Seeing Jiang Li pouting, Xie Chang'an put a piece of fish into her bowl and said softly, "This turtle is cooked quite well. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Zhu Yingying was about to say that our Lili didn't know how to pick out fish bones when she glanced at the fish and found that the bones in the fish meat had already been removed cleanly. She couldn't help but look at Xie Chang'an in surprise.

Who would have thought that the legendary Chonghua Zhenjun, who was supposed to be cold and aloof and detached from worldly affairs, would be so meticulous and down-to-earth!

Although the dishes at Jiuxiaolou are "not what they seem," they are cooked to perfection. What's especially remarkable is that, while being visually appealing, fragrant, and delicious, they also manage to preserve the spiritual energy of the ingredients to the greatest extent possible.

Jiang Li was enjoying her meal immensely, while Xie Chang'an served her food as if no one else was around, his movements natural and practiced, as if he had done it countless times before.

Zhu Yingying and the others watched this unfold and nodded in approval. It seemed that when True Lord Chonghua was in the mortal realm, he also took such good care of Xiao Lili.

If he can remain consistent and devoted to Xiao Lili, then being a little older might not be a bad thing.

At that moment, a streak of light, as swift as lightning, flew straight toward Xie Chang'an!

Xie Chang'an's brows furrowed slightly; this was the sword talisman of the Purple Sun Sword Master!

He reached out and took it, only to hear the solemn voice of the Purple Sun Sword Master coming from the sword talisman, "Chonghua, come back immediately!"

Immediately afterward, the messenger bird of the Beast Taming Sect also fluttered over, its little wings flapping frantically, panting heavily.

"Yingying... hurry... your master wants you to... quickly take Xiaoli back!"

Everyone was startled. What had happened?

Xie Chang'an immediately said, "Let's go!"

He had already paid for the spirit stones, so everyone used their magical treasures or summoned their spirit pets to take to the air and leave.

Zhu Yingying's natal spirit pet, the three-legged golden crow, instantly grew larger. She flew onto the golden crow's back and was about to reach out to pull Jiang Li when Xie Chang'an moved even faster. He grabbed Jiang Li from beside him and transformed into a streak of sword light, disappearing in an instant.

Zhu Yingying was startled and hurriedly urged the three-legged golden crow to catch up quickly.

The three-legged golden crow spread its wings, a ball of flame ignited beneath its feet, and vanished into the sky in an instant.

Yun Jiuzhong also summoned his natal spirit pet, the Nine-Tailed Fox, and quickly caught up.

Upon seeing this, Xu Qing and his two fellow disciples quickly urged their spirit pets to return to the sect at full speed.

The Purple Sun Sword Master's tone was so serious, it must be no small matter!

After everyone returned to Baohua Peak, True Monarch Mingxuan sent a message: "You should go back first and not leave the sect for the time being."

Zhu Yingying asked, "Master, what happened?"

Mingxuan Zhenjun said in a deep voice, "The demon race seems to be making unusual moves."

Zhu Yingying and the others were startled. Was there something unusual happening among the demons?

In the Tianyan Realm, the human, demon, and monster races have lived in their respective territories for hundreds of years, coexisting peacefully.

The demon race does not interact with the other two races, but the human race and the demon race have always maintained a friendly relationship.

At the border between the two races, there are spontaneously formed markets where people exchange the supplies they need. The Beast Taming Sect disciples love to go to the border markets the most, where they might just find a baby beast!

Humans and demons even intermarry, and there are many half-human, half-demon cultivators in the border markets.

Mingxuan Zhenjun said that the demon race seemed to be making strange moves. Judging from his tone, these "strange moves" were probably not friendly. What exactly did the demon race want to do?

Zhu Yingying hurriedly said, "Master, just now True Monarch Chonghua took Junior Sister away..."

"It's alright, they're back."

Mingxuan Zhenjun paused for a moment, then said, "You should all return to your respective caves and be ready to serve at any time."

"Yes, Master!"

The disciples, puzzled, went back to their respective places, and Zhu Yingying had a vague feeling that a storm was brewing.

Inside the main hall of Baohua Peak, two Nascent Soul Venerables sat at the head of the table. One had a solemn expression and an imposing presence, while the other had a kind face and a ruddy complexion. They were none other than Venerable Bisong, the grandmaster of Ziyang Sword Venerable and Jiang Li.

True Lord Mingxuan and True Lord Qingyuan sat on either side.

Xie Chang'an and Jiang Li stood side by side in the center of the main hall, respectfully bowing to the two Venerable Ones and the two True Lords.

Venerable Bisong smiled and said, "This is Chonghua? He is indeed a handsome and promising young man."

He beckoned to Jiang Li again, "Little Li Li, I heard you've been suffering? Come over here and let your grandmaster take a look."

Jiang Li ran happily to Venerable Bisong's side, grinning, "Grandmaster, I've actually turned misfortune into blessing!"

"Look, I've reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage!"

She proudly spun around, then whispered in her grandmaster's ear, "I have another dragon! Grandmaster, have you seen my little green dragon?"

Venerable Bisong laughed and said, "I see, I see! Our little Lili is really amazing!"

In order to raise that dragon, Mingxuan Zhenjun squeezed a lot of good things out of him.

Although that dragon was born with deficiencies and it was unknown when it would grow up, it was a true dragon with pure blood, and it was a blue dragon, the kind with the noblest bloodline among dragons!

Thanks to Xiao Lili, the Beast Taming Sect now has dragons too. Venerable Bisong must be laughing in his sleep!

Looking at the beautiful and lively little girl, the Purple Sun Sword Master had mixed feelings.

He never expected that the dragon egg that the Sword Sect had treasured in the small world for hundreds of years, a "chicken rib" that was neither tasty to eat nor worth throwing away, would actually hatch into a little green dragon in the hands of the Beast Taming Sect disciples!

Is the Immaculate Spirit Body really that powerful?

However, regardless of whether it's the little Azure Dragon or this Immaculate Spirit, they will belong to their Sword Sect in the future!

The Purple Sun Sword Master glanced at his beloved disciple, stroked his beard, and smiled.

At first, he was somewhat disapproving of his disciple's insistence on marrying a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Although a fifteen-year-old Foundation Establishment cultivator was a rare genius, the cultivation world was full of geniuses. How many days would it take to grow to the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage? Often, they were burdened by their fame and died halfway through!

It wasn't until recently that he learned that the little girl was actually an extremely rare Immaculate Spirit Body!

This special physique allows for cultivation with virtually no bottlenecks.

She has an extraordinary talent for taming beasts; the dragon egg that hadn't hatched for hundreds of years actually did in her hands!

I heard that she also signed a life-bound contract with that little green dragon. Dragons can live for tens of thousands of years. As long as the little green dragon can grow up, the little girl can share the lifespan of the dragon even if she doesn't cultivate. Living for a thousand years won't be a problem.

Why not instill envy, jealousy, and hatred in those sword cultivators who suffer through hardship in their training?

My apprentice has such good taste! I must marry this lucky star no matter what!
