Immortal Abode Beast Taming

Chapter 573: Kidnapping Qiqi and scaring Lou Yuan
"Dabai? You turned it into a ghost cultivator?"

Fang Qingyuan's eyes narrowed. After he killed Hao Shi that year, he searched his body and found several crystal stones that contained the souls of golden elixir spirit beasts, and then gave them to Xiong Feng.

Now, many years have passed, and Xiong Feng has apparently been secretly studying ghost magic, and Dabai is one of his results.

I have been traveling outside all year round, and if Xiong Feng were to do research secretly, he would definitely be able to hide it from many people. With Xiong Feng's level of cultivation, this is enough to keep it completely confidential.

But when did Xiong Feng start to study the ghost arts? Was it after he received the soul crystal from the white bear, or after he told Xiong Feng that Jin Bao's mother was not completely dead?
Fang Qingyuan speculated that this probably happened a long time ago. At that time, in order to gain Xiong Feng's trust, he revealed Jin Bao's life experience. It was probably at this time that Xiong Feng had the idea of ​​studying ghost magic in his heart.

Things have come to this point, and there is no point in deducing further. Fang Qingyuan used his soul to carefully look at the bead that contained the soul of the white bear.

The soul of the white bear, which was originally as flickering as a candle flame, has now become very powerful through cultivation. It can express joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in this soul-collecting bead.

Secretly keeping souls and helping them practice is a big taboo in Da Zhou Academy, but Fang Qingyuan and Xiong Feng obviously didn't take it seriously at this time.

As your cultivation level increases, you can more clearly see the rules that govern the operation of the world. That is, rules are flexible depending on the strength of the opponent.

Research is one aspect, and exposure is another. Xiong Feng now has the support of the Beast Tamer Menkar family, and there is not a single human cultivator here. It is very safe for him to study these things.

But Qingfeng Mountain is different. It is right under the nose of the Southern Xinjiang Beast Taming Sect and there is a Nascent Soul-level goshawk there. If there is any noise, it will be exposed.

Fang Qingyuan thought about it and decided to tell Xiong Feng about Jin Bao's mother. After all, the matter could not be concealed.

"I went to Qingfeng Mountain before and took away Jinbao's mother's body using a magic weapon."

Following Fang Qingyuan's words, the energy in the cave exploded, Xiong Feng's momentum surged, and he shouted angrily:
"Why are you doing this?"

The originally terrifying Nascent Soul realm spiritual pressure, for Fang Qingyuan now, he can now endure it without changing his expression.

The Nascent Soul realms of the man and the beast emerged, and the dull air was about to explode, when Qiqi's voice was heard.

"The banquet is ready, you two come and have a drink."

After a muffled 'bang' sound, Xiong Feng retracted his domain. He glanced at Fang Qingyuan and signaled him to follow.

Fang Qingyuan's expression remained calm. He had expected Xiong Feng to be angry, and he could bear it.

Following Xiong Feng, they came to another hall, where Qiqi had already arranged a banquet with wine and drinks. The other Jindan bear beasts had also arrived and sat in their respective seats, waiting for Fang Qingyuan and Xiong Feng.

Fang Qingyuan sat in the main seat, next to Xiong Feng. Xiong Feng had a dark face at this time, and everyone didn't understand why Xiong Feng was like this, only Mi Chong lowered his head slightly.

Fang Qingyuan and Xiong Feng's disagreement could not be exposed in public, so the two of them pretended nothing happened and argued in private using voice transmission:
"You can't take her away. I won't allow you to. How can you keep it a secret in a place like Qiyun? And without my help, her soul will really dissipate completely."

"Why can't I take her away? She said it herself that if I took care of Jinbao, I could do whatever I wanted with her body. Of course, for Jinbao's sake, I won't do anything to her, but it's my right to take her away."

"You, how can you make her stay? Will you continue to let her nurture her soul? Are you willing to get involved in this kind of thing?"

Xiong Feng's question made Fang Qingyuan silent. Indeed, could he use the ghost way's methods on Jin Bao's mother to help her convert to the ghost way?
It would be fine if he did it secretly, but with Xiong Feng, who knows about it, this would be a loophole for the future.

Xiong Feng had no reason to betray himself, but nothing in the world is absolute. In the world of cultivation, there are all kinds of treacherous methods. Is this matter really foolproof?
At this time, Fang Qingyuan looked at Qiqi. Qiqi was attacking the precious spiritual food given by the Kale family and taken out from the Xiongfeng warehouse. Her little face was round from eating.

Fang Qingyuan had a great liking for Qiqi, mainly because Qiqi had a relatively simple personality and always had full trust in him.

Compared with humans, the mind of a bear beast is particularly simple. As long as you are nice to her, she will give you ten times the return.

Qiqi was like this. Fang Qingyuan originally felt that he had not been very good to Qiqi in the past, but in Qiqi's eyes, Fang Qingyuan was her best friend.

After half a year of living together day and night in the Black Earth Abyss, the friendship between the man and the beast may have become deep-rooted at that time, but Fang Qingyuan did not care about this in the past.

Seeing Fang Qingyuan coming, Qiqi smiled back, but her mouth was puffed up, which looked a little funny.

Fang Qingyuan was thinking in his mind whether it would be better to keep Jin Bao's mother in the Immortal Palace or let Xiong Feng take care of her. If she was kept in the Immortal Palace, he would have to find a way to help her practice the ghost way.

And considering Xiong Feng's personality, if it were handed over to him, he would definitely want Jin Bao's mother to cultivate again, get rid of this body, and transform into a pure ghost cultivator.

Anyway, there is the precedent of the big white bear, so this one won’t make a difference. I might as well give it to Xiong Feng so that he can have something to think about.

But Qiqi can't stay here any longer, she is no longer suitable here.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingyuan bluntly put forward his conditions: Qiqi, come with me, and Jinbao's mother's body can be left here.

In response to Fang Qingyuan's request, Xiong Feng looked at Qiqi with a little more reluctance, and he transmitted his voice:

"Qiqi is really not suitable for this place. The people of the Kaer family have mentioned to me several times that they want to find a master for Qiqi. I am unwilling to refuse, but I don't know how long this can last. It's better for her to go to Qiyun with you, so that I don't feel like selling my daughter. You can take her away."

Fang Qingyuan was silent. Although Xiong Feng was protected by the Kale family and given this fourth-tier spiritual land, he still had to pay a lot. Not only did he have to provide the corresponding bear beasts as tribute every year, but he also had to contribute when it was time to do so.

Now, Qiqi and the other golden elixir bear beasts can still stay with Xiong Feng instead of being taken away to be the companion beasts of the Kaer family. This is the result of Le Chuan's maneuvering and Xiong Feng's tough attitude.

As for a bear beast like Qiqi who has reached the perfection of the Golden Core, it is natural that everyone is eyeing it. Can it last for ten years or even a hundred years?
This is also Xiong Feng's purpose, he wants Qiqi to reach the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible. After becoming a Nascent Soul level ancient beast, Qiqi will be able to control her own destiny.

After a few words, the man and the beast reached a consensus. Qiqi followed Fang Qingyuan to Qiyun, while Jinbao's mother's body stayed here.

After the deal was settled, Fang Qingyuan drank with peace of mind. According to the tacit understanding between him and Xiong Feng, there was no need to say anything else.

After a brief banquet, Fang Qingyuan took out the body of Jin Bao's mother and handed it to Xiong Feng. Following Fang Qingyuan's suggestion, Xiong Feng dug a new corpse-keeping ground thousands of feet underground.

As an earth-type bear beast, Xiong Feng can control the geomagnetic force thousands of feet underground. Of course, he won't be able to control it any deeper.

When Qiqi learned that she was going to Qiyun with Fang Qingyuan, her face showed reluctance to leave Xiong Feng. But before Xiong Feng could even get a moment to be moved, Qiqi couldn't help but laugh.

This left Xiong Feng speechless. After bidding farewell to Xiong Feng, Fang Qingyuan took Qiqi back to Qingyuan Sect, where he had been away for a long time.

When Fang Qingyuan left, Qingyuan Sect had not changed much. Although Fang Qingyuan had become a Nascent Soul cultivator, after he radiated to Qingyuan Sect in Qiyun, he did not immediately allow Qingyuan Sect to enjoy various benefits.

But now, he is back.

In a remote island far away in the open sea, a little girl of seven or eight years old was sitting on a reef, staring blankly at the sea ahead.

A huge wave came crashing down, but just as it reached the little girl, it was blocked by an invisible protective shield, and not a drop of sea water splashed onto her clothes.

"Lou Yun, you come here to have fun again."

Jiang Wanqin appeared beside the little girl, and she looked at Lou Yun with loving eyes.

Jiang Wanqin today is no longer the naive girl she was when she first went to sea. On the contrary, having given birth to a daughter, she now looks mature.

Lou Yun stared at the sea and asked curiously:

"What's on the other side of the sea? Is it the end of the world?"

Jiang Wanqin also sat next to Lou Yun, hugged her and said:
"On the other side of the sea, there is an endless continent. There is not so much sea water there, and there are many animals running on the land, including lions and tigers."

Lou Yun followed Jiang Wanqin's words with anticipation. After a moment, she pointed forward and shouted happily:

"Look, Mom, Daddy's boat is back."

On the distant sea level, the silhouette of a fishing boat appeared, like a small sesame seed scattered on the sea.

Jiang Wanqin ruffled Lou Yun's hair, took her hand and stood up, "Let's go, let's go to the dock to greet your father and see what delicious fish he brought back for you today."

When Jiang Wanqin brought Lou Yun to the dock, it was already crowded with the families of the men who went out to sea. With everyone's expectant eyes, the large ship, which was more than ten meters long, slowly approached. The side of the ship was unloaded, and a calm man came down first. He saw a mother and daughter in front of the crowd at a glance, and his eyes were filled with warmth at this moment.

"Hehe, Wenrouzhong, your life is ruined."

Lou Yuan heard an annoying old voice in his ears. He was distracted and replied to the other party with a thought "You are just envious", then quickly got off the boat and hugged Jiang Wanqin and Lou Yun in his arms.

At night, after a long conversation, Lou Yuan and Jiang Wanqin quietly talked about spiritual practice.

"Seeing Yun'er growing up day by day, I want to return to the sect as soon as possible so that she can receive the sect's education. Otherwise, if I rely on you and me to teach her, I'm afraid we might teach her the wrong way. After all, neither of us has ever been a true teacher."

Jiang Wanqin was somewhat worried. As Lou Yun grew older, she wanted to return to the sect more and more. However, now was the critical moment for her husband to comprehend the theory of alchemy, so she was a little unsure.

"Then go back. Yun'er really needs to receive a systematic education. She can't play with the kids here and her personality is becoming more and more withdrawn. It would be good for her to have a normal growth environment."

"But your Dan theory?"

"The time has not come yet. We cannot force it. We have been here for ten years. The opportunity seemed so elusive to me at the beginning. I have never grasped it. It would be a waste of time to stay here any longer. Perhaps we should have gone back a long time ago."

After more than 20 years of traveling, it was natural for Jiang Wanqin to develop feelings for Lou Yuan during their daily interactions, during their life-and-death adventures, and as the two men saved each other, to the point that they even created a new life.

Jiang Wanqin had become a Jindan cultivator more than ten years ago. Originally, the two should have returned, but when Lou Yuan passed by this place, he suddenly felt an opportunity for his alchemy theory, so he lived in seclusion here to perfect his alchemy theory.

Jiang Wanqin also hid her cultivation level and accompanied Lou Yuan. In order to avoid being forcibly called back by the sect, Jiang Wanqin rarely contacted the sect over the years.

In Jiang Wanqin's opinion, the sect would not let her, a Jindan cultivator, waste time here with Lou Yuan. The ten years of a Jindan cultivator should not be wasted like this.

This is not a betrayal of the sect. Jiang Wanqin just doesn't want Lou Yuan to miss this opportunity. If the sect forces her to go back, then given Lou Yuan's personality, he will definitely go back with her.

Therefore, Jiang Wanqin told the sect that she was still gaining experience and had gone to a farther place. At first, she would send a letter back every one or two years, but now she hasn't sent a letter in five or six years.

Fang Qingyuan didn't take this to heart. He didn't expect Jiang Wanqin to take on any important responsibilities. As long as she was alive, that was enough.

Fang Qingyuan's role in Qingyuan Sect was too important. Jiang Wanqin didn't think anything would happen to the sect without her, the newly promoted golden elixir. She also didn't think that the sect would rise with her, as Fang Qingyuan would be in charge of everything.

This is the feeling Fang Qingyuan gave to everyone in Qingyuan Sect, but Fang Qingyuan himself didn't care much about it. In his opinion, as long as he was strong enough, nothing would be a problem.

After Lou Yuan finished his words of comfort to Jiang Wanqin, he sighed in his heart. Actually, as for the opportunity, although it existed, he didn't care. His theory of alchemy had already been perfected, and he could pass the tribulation and form the elixir at any time. It was just that he couldn't bear to leave his wife and daughter.

Once he becomes a Jindan cultivator, Lou Yuan will have to fulfill a promise to Master Wanzhu and collect a backup plan left by Master Wanzhu.

But this arrangement was built tens of thousands of years ago, and Wan Zhu himself had no idea what the situation there had become.

Until now, Lou Yuan still didn't have the courage to tell Jiang Wanqin the whole story, and Master Wan Zhu would not allow anyone other than Lou Yuan to know of his existence.

Master Wan Zhu was not in a hurry. After all, after he turned into a monster, his lifespan became exceptionally long. Giving Lou Yuan a peaceful life for ten years and leaving offspring behind was enough to repay him.

Sensing Lou Yun sleeping in another house, Lou Yuan secretly made up his mind that if he could get that treasure back, he would definitely build an unparalleled foundation for Lou Yun so that she would be no less than those geniuses from the aristocratic families.

At dawn the next day, Lou Yuan got up to prepare breakfast. The couple had already been fasting and did not need to eat ordinary food, but Lou Yun had not yet started practicing. She was still in the period of growing up, so she naturally could not be careless.

Taking out the spirit fish he caught from the storage bag, Lou Yuan prepared a bowl of spirit fish porridge, and paired it with some side dishes that Jiang Wanqin had learned to pickle. It was a simple meal, but it looked very heartwarming.

Just as everything was arranged, Lou Yuan was about to greet Lou Yun when he heard a familiar voice:

"I asked you to take care of Wanqin, and this is how you take care of her? She even gave birth to a child!"

Lou Yuan turned stiffly and looked back to see a handsome man in white clothes, with messy hair, sitting quietly at the table, looking at him coldly.

"metropolitan.!?"

At this moment, the usually talkative old ghost Wan Zhu seemed to be dead, not saying a word. No, his presence could not be sensed at all.

Lou Yuan lost his usual composure at this moment, and only these words came out of his throat, "Yes, taking care of my uncle-master even involves taking care of him in bed. This is really unacceptable."

Moreover, Fang Qingyuan treats Jiang Wanqin like his own son and daughter. In Jiang Wanqin's opinion, Fang Qingyuan is like her strict father. Now, how can Lou Yuan not be frightened when facing this father-in-law who is like a god or devil?

Lou Yuan had no idea of ​​Fang Qingyuan's current level of cultivation. He could guess that Fang Qingyuan was most likely not a Jindan cultivator anymore. Otherwise, with the old ghost's personality, he couldn't have pretended to be dead so decisively.

"Humph! You're over a hundred years old, but you're still lazy in bed. You really can't change your bad habits!"

Fang Qingyuan's voice reached the inner room, and Jiang Wanqin's exclamation was heard immediately. A moment later, Jiang Wanqin sat next to Fang Qingyuan with a red face. Lou Yuan could only half-sit down on the chair. Only Lou Yun looked at this handsome brother curiously, not understanding why her mother asked her to call him grandpa.

Fang Qingyuan picked up the spiritual porridge, took a sip, and then said:

"If I had known that you were living a mortal life, I should not have come to find you. This is your soul lamp. Please leave the sect on your own. I allow it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Wanqin fell to her knees, and Lou Yuan followed suit, and soon cries of grief were heard.

Fang Qingyuan's heart was filled with some resentment. In order to clean up the mess for Baishan Qingyuan Sect, he brought Jiang Wanqin's soul lamp and, based on the mysterious sensation, spent three months to find her. He thought Jiang Wanqin was trapped by something, but he didn't expect that the two of them were living a comfortable life.

So after he said this angrily, he was ready to leave. So what if Jiang Wanqin became a golden elixir? If she didn't care about the sect, what use would she be?

Seeing Fang Qingyuan was about to leave, Lou Yuan understood that if Fang Qingyuan really left, Jiang Wanqin would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

At this time, no matter how Lou Yuan called out to the old ghost, there was no response, so Lou Yuan made up his mind and said directly to Qingyuan:
"Master, wait a minute. Can I, your disciple, have a few words with you in person?"

Fang Qingyuan swept his mind around, wanting to grasp some of Lou Yuan's thoughts, but was blocked by an invisible barrier, which aroused his interest.

Looking at Lou Yuan, who was only at the late stage of foundation building, but had stronger defenses than Jiang Wanqin, Fang Qingyuan understood that this kid was hiding a lot of secrets.

So he said to Jiang Wanqin:

"Okay, don't be sad. I'll talk to your husband first. You take your daughter back to the house, and we'll talk about your business later."

From the complicated look Jiang Wanqin gave Lou Yuan, Lou Yuan knew in his heart that after decades of living together day and night, this little secret of his could not be completely hidden from the person next to him.

Yes, who can hide something from the person closest to them for decades? Perhaps Jiang Wanqin has already discovered her peculiarity, but she doesn't care and doesn't want to ask.

After Jiang Wanqin and Lou Yun walked into the inner room, Fang Qingyuan waved his hand, set up a soundproof barrier, and said in a cold voice:
"You can say it."

Lou Yuan took out an ancient map from his storage bag and presented it to Fang Qingyuan:
"This is an opportunity I got during my early travels. After collecting various intelligence, I was able to confirm that this is a ruined cave residence left by a Divine Transformation cultivator tens of thousands of years ago. I know that I am not worthy of it. In order to ask the Sect Master to forgive Wanqin, I am willing to offer this map. I hope the Sect Master will accept it."

Fang Qingyuan took the picture, glanced at it casually, and then threw it to Lou Yuan. Then, in Lou Yuan's surprised eyes, he said:

"I don't value this mere chance to become a god, so keep it for yourself. I was originally a little resentful of you, but you were willing to give up this treasure for Wanqin, which is something that ordinary people cannot do. It shows that you are sincere to Wanqin. I was just testing you just now, and now you have passed it."

Lou Yuan was stunned. This was a chance left by the God of Transformation. Was the Sect Master so arrogant? He didn't even look down on this!
Seeing Lou Yuan's appearance, Fang Qingyuan felt relieved. I still have the Divine Transformation Technique given by Tian Chang to practice. This is the strongest one. No other Divine Transformation opportunity can compare to it. Besides, it is a waste of time and may be dangerous. It is not worth making a trip for this.

Fang Qingyuan has never liked exploring ruins since he started practicing. Even now that he has become a Nascent Soul, he cannot change his mind.

So while Lou Yuan was confused and Jiang Wanqin was obedient, Fang Qingyuan called Lou Yun to his side and asked with a smile:

"How old are you? Do you know who I am? Haha."

At this point, the couple looked at each other, and each could see relief and fear in the other's eyes.
