While Ren Qingquan watched the video, I observed Peak Master Feng Yun through my [Scan]. Unlike the Sect Master, who looks dignified, or the Miscellaneous Hall Master, who has the aura of a merchant, the Spirit Beast Peak Master gives off an especially distinctive aura. To say it poetically, he gives the feeling of being one with nature, like water flowing along a stream. To say it bluntly, the Peak Master has a low presence and a pushover aura.
He looks like someone who'll be pressured into buying unnecessary insurance after meeting a pushy insurance salesman. Still, his power is no joke. Just Peak Master Feng Yun himself has energy equal to the Miscellaneous Hall Master. Meanwhile, the small animals playing around his clothes also have a massive amount of energy. Although most are probably one or two realms lower than the Peak Master, three of them have energy almost equal to his level.
Basically, Peak Master Feng Yun can easily beat others through sheer numbers.
Amidst the silence, they quickly approached an exceptionally tall mountain. Even from afar, I could sense the increasing density of spirit qi around us. Occasionally, bird calls and other animal sounds resonated from the mountain. The bird carrying Ren Qingquan and Peak Master Feng Yun eventually landed at the mountain's center. After landing, Peak Master Feng Yun remarked, "I have other matters to attend to, so I will use my clone to assist you in familiarizing yourselves with the Spirit Beast Peak."
After he said that, I saw Peak Master Feng Yun use a technique through [Scan], which caused several spirit qi clones to split off from his body. One clone remained with Ren Qingquan, while the Peak Master's original body and the other clones quickly disappeared. Some of the small animals that played around Peak Master Feng Yun also jumped to follow his clones. Among these animals, a squirrel switched from Peak Master Feng Yun's head to the head of the clone accompanying Ren Qingquan.
This squirrel is actually one of the strongest beasts that surrounded Peak Master Feng Yun. Ren Qingquan looked at the squirrel with curiosity. Seeing Ren Qingquan's curious expression, the squirrel adorably tilted his head before opening his small mouth. From it, a deep, charming male voice emerged, "What are you looking at? Never seen a squirrel before?" The suddenness of the squirrel's speech is startling, but the stark contrast between its deep voice and cute appearance is even more surprising.
I expected to hear a chipmunk's voice, like in those nightcore songs, but instead, I got a squirrel with Morgan Freeman's voice. After the squirrel's rude comment, Peak Master Feng Yun's clone quickly placed his hand over his head to envelop the squirrel. While the squirrel resists, trying to push away Peak Master Feng Yun's hand, Feng Yun secretly transmits a message, "Don't be like that; the person in front of you is a member of the Gui Family, who recently invested in our sect."
The squirrel then asks via secret voice, "Gui Family? You mean the richest family in the cultivation world?" Peak Master Feng Yun responds with a slight nod. As a system that always upholds its promises, I didn't forget to include a subtitle to show Ren Qingquan the conversation between the squirrel and Feng Yun. Unaware that Ren Qingquan had overheard their conversation, Peak Master Feng Yun's clone pointed to the squirrel on his head and introduced him, "You can call him Little Acorn.
He's one of my spirit beasts, usually responsible for protecting an important clone since each one has relatively low combat ability." Upon discovering that Ren Qingquan was from a wealthy family, the squirrel leaped from Peak Master Feng Yun's head to Ren Qingquan's shoulder.
"Ignore that guy's words; not only is he poor, but his taste in names is also terrible." It leaned its small head near Ren Qingquan's ear and whispered while rubbing its tiny hand, "Since I am older and stronger, you can call me Senior Acorn Tree. If you need help or encounter any setbacks at Spirit Beast Peak, come to me, and I'll assist you. Remember, I am still the Peak Master's spirit beast and hold some authority. Just don't forget to give me some thank-you gifts for my efforts later, hehehe."
I gasped in surprise. Wow, I've never seen a materialistic squirrel before. It even openly told Ren Qingquan that it was willing to misuse its authority to help him in exchange for some money. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. Ren Qingquan merely nodded and smiled in response to Peak Master Feng Yun's awkward grin. Appearing content, Senior Acorn Tree jumped from Ren Qingquan's shoulder back onto Peak Master Feng Yun's head.
The two humans and one squirrel finally began their tour around Spirit Beast Peak. The main peak of Spirit Beast Peak actually consists of three mountains. The first, which is their current location, is where most of the cultivators who have joined Spirit Beast Peak live. It's also the place where they generally care for their spirit beasts and where the cranes used in the mount renting stations are bred and taken care of.
The second and third mountains are designated for breeding and killing demon beasts, respectively. For your information, unlike the Martial Arts World, which only has ferocious beasts, the Cultivation World has two types of beasts. The first are spirit beasts, intelligent animals that can transform into human form at specific cultivation levels. They can also be contracted, and cultivators often keep them as companions. Essentially, they are the Pok*m*n of the cultivation world.
The crane used for transportation, as well as Peak Master Feng Yun's pets like Senior Acorn Tree, are examples of spirit beasts. The second type is demonic beasts. They are not very intelligent and cannot transform into human form. These beasts mostly wander the wilderness, attacking both normal humans and cultivators alike. Cultivators frequently hunt them to use their body parts for alchemy, talismans, formations, weapon refining, or as food ingredients.
By evening, another clone of Peak Master Feng Yun has arrived. This clone has a small fox calmly sleeping around its neck like a scarf. To distinguish Peak Master Feng Yun's clones, I decided to name them according to the spirit beasts they are associated with. The fox clone gives Peak Master Feng Yun's squirrel clone a small jade token, which he then hands to Ren Qingquan, saying, "Take this Spirit Beast Peak's core disciple token.
Next, envelop both this new identity token and your old one with your divine sense simultaneously. This will allow you to switch to the new identity token." Ren Qingquan followed Peak Master Feng Yun's instructions and saw the jade token in front of him shine for a brief moment. Seeing its shine, Peak Master Feng Yun nodded and said, "Alright, this is your new token, a symbol of being a new disciple of Spirit Beast Peak."
"We have already visited all the important facilities on Spirit Beast Peak's Main Peak, and you seem tired from today's experience. I will take you to your new residence. If you have any questions later, you can find my clones or ask other disciples and elders." Ren Qingquan nodded, and soon they arrived at Ren Qingquan's new residence. The new residence is incredibly large.
Although the house itself is modest, with only rooms essential for cultivation, pill refining, and other activities, each room has a specific purpose, avoiding unnecessary space. I describe the residence as massive because of the garden adjacent to it. It features a spirit beast pen and several acres of garden, and is surrounded by fruit-bearing trees imbued with spirit qi.
Peak Master Feng Yun assisted Ren Qingquan in establishing his ownership of the residence and said, "If you need any disciples to help manage your residence, spirit beasts, or spirit fields, you can visit the Miscellaneous Hall branch on this mountain to recruit."
"Regarding your new job, you're likely busy for now, so you can begin next week. As agreed, you'll be the manager of the Demon Slaughtering Mountain nearby." After introducing Ren Qingquan's new job, Peak Master Feng Yun also mentioned a few other details before leaving. Now alone in his new home, Ren Qingquan sat quietly on the bed, trying to process all that had occurred today. Soon, he regained his senses, and the first thing he did was curse.
'Damn. System, I want a refund! I haven't even used that Basic Fundamental Cultivation Method before I found a much better cultivation method.' [Ding! There's no refund function in the System.]'Arggggghhh! What a waste! I should've saved that one chance to learn for free until now!' After screaming internally for a full minute, Ren Qingquan finally regained his composure.
'System, open my personal panel.' [Name: Ren Qingquan Point: 15 Cultivation realm: Peak Qi Refining. Cultivation method: Basic Foundational Cultivation Method. Cultivation Technique: Soul Swallowing Technique, Blood Nurturing Technique, Four Direction Sword (Level 1 / 4), Yang Armor (Level 1 / 4), Feather Step (Level 1 / 4). Profession: Corpse Refiner. System function: Devour, Scan, Calculate, Transfer, Map, Mission, Skill Learning, Selective Devour, One Hit Kill, Subsystem.] After days of working at the Demon Slaughtering Area, Ren Qingquan's points are no longer in the negatives. Seeing the points he has left, Ren Qingquan asked, 'System, how much does it cost to learn the Divine Turtle Cultivation Method?' [Ding! The Qi Refining Section will cost 10 points to learn.]'Then, give me the Qi Refining Section.' [Please wait.] I immediately began studying the Qi Refining section of the cultivation method.
After half an hour, I cross-checked my understanding to ensure I had grasped everything correctly. [Ding! Please review the Divine Turtle Cultivation Method. The system will assist in your comprehension of the cultivation technique.] Ren Qingquan recalled the cultivation method he received, while I used [Calculate] to guide him and convey my understanding. Soon, Ren Qingquan understood the Qi Refining section of the Divine Turtle Method. He immediately went to his cultivation room and sat cross-legged.
As Ren Qingquan circulated the Divine Turtle Method within his body, the refined spirit qi gradually shifted its attribute. Due to the influence of the Basic Fundamental Cultivation Method, he did not need to recultivate and could instantly convert the refined spirit qi into the Divine Turtle energy. By midnight, he has completed transforming all the refined spirit qi in his body into the energy produced by the Divine Turtle Method.
Since the Divine Turtle Method is far more advanced than the Basic Fundamental Cultivation Method, Ren Qingquan's cultivation stage actually dropped to the Seventh Stage of the Qi Refining Realm. However, his overall power remains undiminished and has grown!
Over the next few days, Ren Qingquan mainly observed others through my [Scan] or read novels at his residence. It wasn't until Peak Master Feng Yun's clone arrived after a week that he left his house to begin his new job. Since Ren Qingquan and I had spent much time observing the higher-ups of the Pure Wave Sect during this period, we knew they had been busy making sure there were no foolish disciples or arrogant elders in his new workplace.
They even established a new assistant manager role for the main Demon Slaughtering Area to support Ren Qingquan, a position that didn't exist before. There are two assistant managers now. One is the former manager of the Demon Slaughtering Area on Spirit Beast Peak Main Mountain, whose salary was tripled by the higher-ups to ensure he won't feel any dissatisfaction with Ren Qingquan. The second assistant manager is Manager Dong, who looked stunned by his unexpected promotion.
