I'm only 10 years old, and you want me to be reborn as a beastmaster?

Chapter 2 Bamboo-tailed Civet, Chen Dao Visits

"Tick...tick..."

Two more drops of dew oozed from the spiritual plant hanging on the wooden beam.

Hit the sandalwood bar accurately.

The strong aroma exploded, finally suppressing Lin Ang's heartbeat that was pounding in his chest.

He just tried to poke the "Counterattack and Rebirth" system with his consciousness.

No response.

If the system is stuck at the wrong time...

Do I have to endure eight years of hardship in this broken body before I can activate it?

The thought was like an icicle, piercing my temple.

"Tick."

Another drop of dew fell.

Lin Ang stared at the water stains on the sandalwood strips, and suddenly gritted his teeth and sat up straight.

"We'll give it our all—as long as we complete the mission, we'll get the results!"

He endured the stinging pain of his ribs rubbing against each other and began to scan the room.

The hazy blue skylight filtered through the carved wooden windows.

This is the "Lingyifang" on the east side of Muling Peak.

The wood properties of Muling Peak are pure and rich, and many beastmasters who practice alchemy and medicine prefer to settle down and practice on this peak.

The "Spiritual Doctor's House" is close to the wood-attributed spiritual vein, with mountains on one side and water on the other, and many spiritual plants growing around it.

It is a vital medical building within the Beastmaster Sect—when important sect members are seriously injured, they will be sent here for recuperation.

The treatment room where he was located was close to the spiritual vein, with dew-dripping spiritual plants hanging from the ceiling and calming sandalwood burning beside the bed - this was clearly a treatment only available to inner disciples.

"Elder Chen Dao..." Lin Ang stroked the corner of the quilt.

I am just an inexperienced servant, and I can lie here thanks to that noble man.

"It can't be a bastard, right?"

However, Elder Chen Dao seemed not to be interested in women and only cared about their fragrance.

If that's the case, then wouldn't I be...

Lin Ang was still breathing and thinking.

Suddenly there was a "bang" sound.

A gust of wind blew, accompanied by the fragrance of bamboo and a quick, wonderful sound.

"Junior brother, you're awake! Zhu Miao sensed your aura and told me immediately. I came over from the alchemy workshop next door!"

If you don’t see the person, hear the sound first.

This must be Elder Chen’s little disciple, Lin Miaoer.

He is only four years older than Dalinang, and has a bamboo and wood spirit body, making him suitable for a contracted wood-attributed pet.

Since the day Lin Ang entered the peak, he has been calling him "Junior Brother".

The specific reason is unknown.

However, to become a disciple of the Jindan Elder, one must at least reach the status of an inner disciple.

Lin Ang has not passed the qualification test yet and is not even an outer disciple.

So he always felt that he was not worthy of this title.

After a while, Lin Ang also saw Lin Miaoer.

She was dressed in green, with twin ponytails bouncing around, making her look playful and cute. There was a faint green light flashing in her pupils, which was due to her special physique.

There was a light green kitten next to her.

The cat's tail is raised high and its shape looks very much like a bamboo.

This is one of the three spiritual-level pets on Muling Peak - the bamboo-tailed cat.

It is also the first pet contracted by Lin Miaoer.

The bamboo-tailed cat jumped to Lin Ang's side and gently stroked Lin Ang's back with its tail.

Lin Ang suddenly felt warm, and the pain in his body disappeared a lot.

"Meow..." "Zhumiao sticks to you. Normally, I pinch its face, but it doesn't respond. You are indeed worthy of being my junior brother." Lin Miao'er smiled and continued, "Junior brother, you have a precious physique that is loved by all animals. Master said that you may awaken the pet charm body, which is..."

Lin Miaoer's clear voice continued to output.

But Lin Ang's attention was no longer on her.

Because at the moment the bamboo cat's tail touched his back.

He immediately saw a line of small words appear in front of him:
"Rebirth Mission: Contact five different types of pets. Current mission progress (1/5)."

The system is alive!
It's a bit aloof, but the fact that it can count the progress of tasks means it can be effective.

Lin Ang's brows relaxed unconsciously.

"Junior brother, I was just talking about how terrifying the demon cultivator who injured you was. Why are you smiling so happily? Why are you acting so strangely like Second Senior Brother?" Lin Miaoer forcibly brought Zhu Miao back, pinched its cheek, and continued, "Okay, I'm going to report to Master. He's gone to seek justice from the Sect Master and should be back soon."

"Junior brother, you should continue to rest well. Here are a few discarded Xiao Huiling Pills I just refined. Although they don't look good and taste bitter, they are still helpful in restoring your body. Take them."

Lin Ang took the two small black coal-like pills, forced out the most sincere smile, and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister."

Lin Miaoer is good in every way except that she has too strong a desire for control.

If you don't follow her "good intentions", you will really suffer.

For example, in the first month after Lin Ang entered the peak, he was dragged to the next peak to feed the stinky mud pigs for two weeks because he felt that his status was not appropriate and did not call her "Little Senior Sister" as she wished.

So Lin Ang is now obedient.

……

"Tick tock...tick tock..."

"Three hundred and eighty-eight, three hundred and eighty-nine..."

Lin Ang was too bored and couldn't move his body, so he started counting the number of water droplets dripping from the spiritual plants.

Linglu not only smells good.

Counting also has a good hypnotic effect.

Just when Lin Ang was drowsy and about to fall asleep again.

The door to his room slowly opened.

Lin Ang took a closer look.

This is Elder Chen Dao coming!
With thick eyebrows, a righteous face, and a green Taoist robe, he looks majestic yet has an air of immortality.

"Hello, Elder Chen." Lin Ang said respectfully, and quickly sat up, ignoring the bones in his body fighting each other. "I'm sorry, I haven't been able to take good care of all the pets. I wonder how Qingqing is doing? Can I see it?"

Qingqing is the pet, the Blue Star Bird, that the original owner risked his life to save.

It is also one of the three spiritual beasts of Qingmu Peak.

Lin Ang planned to get straight to the point.

First, lower your attitude a little, and then find a way to let the elder bring Qingqing over.

Help him complete the task.

"Ang'er, you're such a good kid." Chen Dao's voice was full of energy. "You did a great job. This incident was beyond your control. The pets you cared for are all fine, but you're the one who suffered the most serious injuries."

"Hey, you haven't started training yet. I'm afraid you'll need to rest for a while after suffering such a serious injury."

"It's okay, I will help you recover as soon as possible."

"Qingqing, right? I'll send a message to ask Miao'er to bring it over."

Lin Ang was secretly happy.

Sure enough, sick children get candy, and sick, well-behaved and sweet-mouthed children get a lot of candy.

I also thought of the systematic summary of his previous life.

Then observe Elder Chen’s current attitude.

Lin Ang was very bold and directly stated his "final" plan:
"Elder Chen, I heard your three pets are quite majestic. Could you summon them out to keep me company for a while?"

Lin Ang's tone was seven parts innocence, one part caution, and one part scheming.

There is also a bit of scheming.

"Oh?"

Chen Dao frowned slightly and looked at Lin Ang.
