I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

Cao Kun stood with his hands behind his back on the sword, feeling the strong wind blowing in his face, and felt refreshed.

Three months ago, he was an old man who had difficulty even walking.

Now, my back doesn't ache, and my legs don't hurt anymore.

Even seeing all the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect covering the mountain felt much more welcoming.

……

At this moment, at the foot of Lianxiang Peak.

Leng Qingyue had just retrieved the Tranquilizing Pill from the alchemy room and was preparing to return to the main hall.

She had long noticed that her master's recent behavior was very strange.

The sudden onset of his old ailment, and the recurring mentions of that pure yang treasure.

The shame, anger, and murderous intent in her master's eyes made her uneasy.

As a direct disciple, she vaguely felt that her master's old ailment was probably related to that Pure Yang Treasure.

However, just as she was preparing to return to the main peak to deliver the medicine.

A streak of azure sword light streaked across the sky at incredible speed.

"Um?"

Leng Qingyue frowned slightly and subconsciously looked up.

A young figure could be vaguely seen above the sword light.

"Outer sect disciple?"

Leng Qingyue immediately recognized that the person was wearing the lowest-ranking gray outer disciple's robes of the Hehuan Sect.

The surprise in his eyes instantly turned into icy anger.

Lianxiang Peak is one of the seven main peaks of the sect, and it is also the place where Master Yu Linglong cultivates in seclusion.

Normally, it is heavily guarded and has extremely strict rules.

Let alone outer disciples, even inner disciples are absolutely not allowed to fly on their swords without being summoned, let alone rush straight towards the main hall like this.

Where did this hothead come from?

Leng Qingyue felt displeased.

Such behavior constitutes a serious violation of the rules.

As the only direct disciple under her master, she has a responsibility to maintain the tranquility and dignity of Lianxiang Peak.

With that in mind, she no longer hesitated.

The longsword rose with the wind, heading straight for the azure sword light.

"How dare you! Who dares to be so insolent here!"

The cold, stern rebuke echoed in the air.

"Holy crap!"

The flying sword stopped abruptly, and the powerful inertia caused Cao Kun to stumble, almost falling off the sword.

After regaining his balance, he was about to unleash a torrent of curses at the newcomer, asking if they had eyes in their ass.

The system's announcement suddenly sounded in my mind.

[Ding! Top-tier spirit beast detected ahead!]

[Target Physique: Supreme Ice Spirit Physique!]

[Overall Assessment: Possesses immense potential and the qualities to grow into an unparalleled powerhouse, meeting the capture criteria!]

[The conditions for capture have been met. Should we proceed with the capture immediately?]

Top-grade spirit beast?

Cao Kun was taken aback when he heard the voice, and then his gaze focused on the woman in front of him.

She was dressed in a simple white dress, her figure slender and graceful.

Her eyes were as clear as a cold pool, exuding a chilling aura that kept people at a distance.

Her whole being was like a lotus flower growing atop a towering snow-capped mountain—pure, aloof, and inviolable.

What an absolutely stunning and aloof fairy!

Cao Kun secretly praised him.

I've never seen this person before on Lianxiang Peak.

She must be the junior sister that Master recently took in.

Tsk tsk, a top-grade Ice Spirit Body, truly top-grade!

Her looks and temperament are in no way inferior to Yu Linglong's.

Even in the realm of pure desire, it surpasses even that.

Cao Kun's heart instantly burned with excitement.

Jade beasts are always a welcome addition.

One isn't enough! I want them all!

Without hesitation, Cao Kun issued the command to the system in his mind.

"Arrest them!"

Given the system's inherent characteristics, this one-in-a-million exceptional physique must also be the most top-tier jade beast.

If you can bring them under your command, the rewards and benefits you will receive will be extraordinary.

[Ding! System notification: A novice Beast Tamer can only possess one Jade Beast at most.]

To capture a new Jade Beast, you can choose to release your current Jade Beast or upgrade your Beastmaster level!

(Beastmaster level can be increased by improving taming value!)

"There's such a restriction?"

Cao Kun was stunned, and felt like cursing.

He had been so focused on enjoying the benefits of the Jade Linglong that he hadn't really studied the details of the system carefully.

Release the jade pendant?

That's absolutely impossible.

Without the constraints of the system, Yu Linglong would definitely kill herself immediately.

"It seems the only option is to upgrade my Beastmaster level."

Cao Kun quickly brought up his personal panel to check.

Name: Cao Kun

Age: 99/310

[Spiritual Root: Top-Grade Fiery Sun Spiritual Root]

[Cultivation Level: Early Foundation Establishment Stage]

[Number of Jade Beasts: 1/1]

[Task Points: 2000]

Beastmaster Level: Novice (20/30)

Upon seeing this extra value, Cao Kun immediately understood.

"The beginner level requires 30 taming points to level up. I currently have 20, and I need 10 more."

It seems that I can only start thinking about this new junior sister after I've leveled up.

However, this did give him a clear goal.

It seems that coming to see Master to strengthen our bond was definitely the right decision.

Cao Kun's series of inner thoughts happened in the blink of an eye.

But in Leng Qingyue's eyes, it was a completely different story.

From the moment this outer disciple saw him, his gaze was fixed on him.

At first, I was taken aback.

Then came the intense heat and greed that made her extremely uncomfortable.

Now, he's completely lost in thought, occasionally letting out a wicked grin.

She had seen that kind of look far too many times.

But never before has anyone dared to be so audacious! So direct!

My displeasure had reached its peak.

She initially thought the other person might have some urgent business or had accidentally wandered in unknowingly.

Now it seems he was just a lecherous man blinded by desire!

"presumptuous!"

"Lianxiang Peak is not a place for an outer disciple like you!"

With a flick of her wrist, Leng Qingyue's snow-white longsword emitted a clear, melodious sword cry, its chilling aura emanating from it, its tip pointing directly at Cao Kun's throat.

"Get out of here right now, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

As he spoke, the pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator pressed down on Cao Kun without reservation, attempting to shake him off the ground.

However, Cao Kun was completely unaffected by that oppressive aura.

He was pulled back to his senses by Leng Qingyue's cold voice, and he sneered inwardly.

"As expected of master and disciple, their condescending tone is exactly the same."

"It's cornstarch!"

He recalled Yu Linglong's arrogance when she absorbed his spiritual root, and then looked at the little iceberg in front of him.

"If this really becomes my jade beast, it will definitely be much more interesting than that vixen Yu Linglong."

Cao Kun silently calculated in his mind.

"Okay, let Yu Linglong farm enough taming points first to upgrade her Beast Tamer level."

"When the time comes, you'll be the first one I take care of, so you'll know how powerful I am."

Despite thinking this to himself, Cao Kun put on a smile.

"Why are you so angry, senior sister?"

Cao Kun spoke in a relaxed and casual tone, showing none of the awe and fear that an outer disciple should have when facing an inner disciple's prodigy.

This confident attitude deepened Leng Qingyue's suspicions.

There are only two possibilities for this person's calm demeanor.

Either he's an arrogant, incredibly stupid fool.

Either... you have something to rely on!

But looking across the entire Hehuan Sect, how many people could allow an outer disciple to act so recklessly in front of the main hall of Lianxiang Peak?

After pondering for a moment, Leng Qingyue's eyes grew colder, and her killing intent began to gather.

"I'll ask one last time."

"Who are you? Why have you trespassed on Lianxiang Peak?"

"If you can't give a coherent explanation, then die now!"
